Chapter 1072

Seeing that Wang An was going to disembowel the bear to take the gall, Huang Baoguo and the others were very observant and gathered around to help.

Although when Mu Xueli or Wang Li were present, the work of disemboweling and taking the gall was done by them, it didn't mean Wang An wasn't skilled at it.

Under the gaze of Huang Baoguo, Pang Yongxiang, and the five others, Wang An very nimbly sliced open the bear's belly and took out the precious big bear gall inside.

Seeing the color of the bear gall, Wang An's previous unhappiness and gloom disappeared by more than half.

The reason for this was that this bear gall was a "gold gall," and a significantly large gold gall at that; according to the current price of gold galls, once this gold gall was air-dried, it would be worth at least 900 yuan, and whether it could reach over a thousand was unknown.

Huang Baoguo, Pang Yongxiang, and the five others looked at this gold gall with eyes full of heat; their eyeballs were almost popping out of their sockets.

You have to know this was a gold gall; although it was just a bear's gold gall, it was still the savings that an ordinary person in this era would have to accumulate for over a dozen, or even twenty or thirty years.

However, these five people were all smart enough not to ask too many questions, but instead kept congratulating Wang An.

Listening to the congratulations from these five people, Wang An laughed, but suddenly remembered a very serious problem.

That was that when Wang An came out today, he wasn't wearing his hunting gear and didn't have a cloth bag on him, which resulted in there being nowhere to put this bear gall.

You have to know that the gall skin of a fresh bear gall is very fragile; if it were accidentally scratched open, the bear gall would basically be ruined.

Looking at his clothes and pants, Wang An didn't find anything suitable to carry this bear gall.

Suddenly, Wang An turned his gaze toward the deceased Yang Dachuan, or to be precise, the clothes on Yang Dachuan.

Although he didn't have a cloth bag, it wasn't impossible to wrap the bear gall in cloth.

But after Wang An looked at Yang Dachuan's clothes, he immediately dismissed this idea.

The main thing was that Yang Dachuan's body was covered in blood, and his pants were emitting a stench; Wang An really couldn't find a suitable piece of fabric on Yang Dachuan's clothes and pants.

Consequently, Wang An said to Huang Baoguo:

"Uncle Huang, help me hold the bear gall; I'm going to take off my coat."

Huang Baoguo subconsciously took the bear gall, but asked with some confusion:

"Take off your coat? Why are you taking off your coat?"

Wang An smiled without explaining, wiped his hands with grass, and took off his outer jacket; immediately after, he took off the white shirt inside the jacket. After taking off the shirt, Wang An was left with only an undershirt.

Immediately after, Wang An put his outer jacket back on.

Using the hunting knife to cut a small opening at the bottom of the shirt, he tore it with both hands, and a perfectly good shirt was torn to shreds by Wang An.

To be honest, Wang An couldn't help but feel a bit regretful at this moment; the main thing was, why didn't he wear a vest under his undershirt?

After all, the price of a vest is significantly cheaper than a shirt.

Fortunately, this shirt was sacrificed to protect a bear gall worth over 900 yuan, so thinking about it this way, it was all worth it.

Tearing a strip of cloth from the shirt and carefully tying the opening of the bear gall, Wang An then used half of the shirt to wrap the big gold gall layer by layer.

It must be said, using a torn shirt to wrap the bear gall was actually quite effective.

Huang Baoguo and the five others watched with their own eyes as Wang An tore a nearly new shirt to shreds, and they grimaced in heartache.

You have to know that the clothes on their bodies were all in a state of patches upon patches.

After wrapping the bear gall, Wang An cut off the four bear paws from the bear's limbs at the elbows, and he also cut off the kneecaps and the bear nose.

Only then did Wang An, while knocking the fangs off the bear's mouth, say to Huang Baoguo and the five others:

"This bear's meat is very fatty and must be delicious. You five can split it equally. Oh right, the bear skin will go to Uncle Huang."

It wasn't that Wang An didn't want the bear meat; you have to know that bear meat is far better than wild boar meat, so how could Wang An not want it?

The main thing was that Wang An was invited to help, so if he didn't leave anything for them, it would be completely unjustifiable.

If it weren't for Yang Dachuan trying to frame Wang An and making Wang An angry, then logically speaking, after Wang An took the most valuable bear gall, he wouldn't have been able to take the bear paws, kneecaps, and bear nose.

As for Pang Yongxiang and Huang Baoguo saying they didn't want anything earlier, that was just polite talk and couldn't be taken seriously.

As soon as Wang An finished speaking, he heard Huang Baoguo say:

"No need, Young Master Xiao An. We'll help you carry the meat down the mountain, and then you can just give us five a little bit of meat for each family."

Pang Yongxiang also said very sincerely:

"Yeah, Young Master Xiao An, just give each of our families a little bit so we can have a taste of meat; you don't have to give us this much."

After Pang Yongxiang finished speaking, Er Gangzi and the three others also chimed in one after another.

After the five of them finished talking over each other, Wang An laughed pretentiously:

"I, Wang An, have never been someone who covets small gains. We'll do things as they should be done; you don't need to be polite with me."

It must be said, doing this kind of favor, Wang An also felt quite good; anyway, the bear meat should have been given to them, so he might as well be generous and show off a bit.

After saying this, Wang An said to Huang Baoguo and the five others:

"With this much meat and such a long road, it will be difficult for the five of you to carry it back together. Why don't you take some back first, and then come back for another trip?"

To be honest, this group of drifters was truly in a tough spot; the entire Weizigou didn't even have a single large draft animal. They used picks to dig holes for farming and relied on their shoulders to carry grain. Living like this, it was truly too damn difficult to become wealthy.

Who knew that as soon as Wang An finished speaking, he saw Pang Yongxiang say with a smile:

"Look at my age, carrying 300 jin is no problem at all, hehehe."

Er Gangzi also laughed at himself:

"We are so poor that we only have our strength left, hehehe."

Huang Baoguo no longer declined and said to Wang An with a smile:

"Don't you worry, Young Master Xiao An. Just watch how we get the meat down the mountain, hahahaha."

Huang Baoguo's laughter immediately moved Pang Yongxiang and the others; Pang Yongxiang, Er Gangzi, and the other four followed suit and laughed.

It could be seen that these five drifters were quite happy to be able to get this meat, and driven by these five, Wang An also laughed along.

Wang An suddenly felt the sentiment of "the scent of roses lingers in the hand that gives them," although these roses were originally picked from someone else's pot.

After laughing, Pang Yongxiang, Er Gangzi, and the others pulled the hunting knives off their spears, and under Wang An's gaze, the five of them worked together and quickly divided the entire bear into five roughly equal portions of meat and five portions of bones.

Then the five of them each walked toward a linden tree and began to peel the bark to make ropes.

Thanks to "Large Empire Emperor" for the tip, thank you, thank you, thank you very much!

Wishing you, big brother, happiness and joy forever, and may you make big and small fortunes every day!
