Chapter 108

The place where Wang An stood at this time was at the edge of a depression.

If they walked another ten meters forward, they would start entering the depression.

Looking forward, the entire depression was like a big pit in the mountains, only the area of this big pit was a bit too large!

In the middle of this depression was a huge circular deep pit washed out by rainwater!

But calling it a pit isn't accurate, because the north side of this pit is the water outlet, and the whole pit is equivalent to a basin with one side wall broken.

And right in this pit, it was full of snow. He didn't know how deep the snow was, but at least one hundred and twenty or thirty gazelles were trapped inside. Some were already dead, and more were struggling!

Struggling was also in vain, because the depth of the snow far exceeded the height of the sheep!

More than ten meters away from the water outlet of this pit, there were a dozen wolves wandering back and forth, which made the dozen or so gazelles at the water outlet of the pit not dare to come out of the snow pit at all!

A little further away, there were twenty or thirty wolves eating gazelles, with several wolves surrounding one sheep, eating very harmoniously!

Seeing this scene, Wang An couldn't recover at all. This wolf pack was truly too smart!

With less than forty wolves, they could carry out hunting to such an extent; it was truly awesome!

Wang An and Mu Xueli's current position was already deep in the mountains. According to the walking time calculation, they were one hundred and fifty or sixty li away from Kaoshan Village!

This place was already a place where hunters near Kaoshan Village rarely came!

Even those who came here were either digging dens or trapping big furs, or hunting tiger cubs!

They would take away valuable things like fur or gallbladders, and generally throw away the meat, because without large livestock like horses or mules, this meat couldn't be transported out!

Mu Xueli finally comforted the big blue horse and tied it to a tree. Seeing his brother-in-law standing there motionless, he also walked over curiously!

Looking into the distance, he was instantly shocked and speechless!

"Damn, damn, oh my god, too awesome," after being dumbfounded for a long while, Mu Xueli couldn't help but exclaim!

"We'll pick up the sheep tomorrow. Although the wolves are full and it's unlikely they will attack us, tonight, we must keep our guns in our hands!" Wang An said, looking at the sheep.

"Yeah, brother-in-law, why are these wolves so powerful? They even know how to chase the sheep into the snowdrift to eat them slowly!" Mu Xueli asked in surprise.

"Wolves are naturally very smart, especially wolf packs with a leader; they can even give up their lives!" Wang An said seriously, and then told the story of the time he and Feng Chengmin chopped down a tree to fight wolves in the mountains.

After Mu Xueli finished listening, he just said, "Damn, you two chopped down such a thick tree? You two are truly awesome!"

Wang An was speechless. This brother-in-law's brain definitely had a problem!

With this kind of thinking, he always went off-track, and after going off-track, he wouldn't run back. It was infuriating!

Wang An rolled his eyes at Mu Xueli unhappily and then said, "Stop saying 'damn,' hurry up and get firewood. We'll spend the night at the mountain ridge we just passed! There's a cave there!"

"Hey, okay, brother-in-law," Mu Xueli agreed with a smile and took out the board axe.

The two, one chopping and one picking up, soon filled the two sleds with firewood.

When they reached the cave, it was already completely dark. The two hurriedly started a fire outside the cave entrance.

After starting the fire, they fed the two horses fodder. In the mountains, fire is the guarantee of life safety!

Almost all wild beasts are afraid of fire, and some wild beasts will run away as soon as they see the firelight from afar.

And although the temperature in the mountains is very low during the day, in the middle of the night, the temperature will be even lower. Forty degrees below zero is quite common!

So without fire, at this temperature, freezing to death is the simplest thing!

Continuing to skin the hares and feed the dogs, of course, this work was still done by Mu Xueli.

Wang An was still chopping meat. He chopped four of the six gazelle legs; one pot was just enough to stew them. Actually, it wasn't that the pot was big, but the gazelle legs were small; one only weighed over 3 jin!

After stewing the meat and heating the big cakes, Wang An tied the remaining two gazelle legs to tree branches and roasted them too.

After they thawed, he made many cuts on the gazelle legs with the skinning knife, continued roasting, and after the blood water had flowed out, he rubbed salt and sprinkled chili powder, and roasted them close to the campfire!

This stuff roasted too slowly. After Mu Xueli finished feeding the dogs, Wang An handed all the tree branches to him to hold.

His brother-in-law said he wanted to roast the gazelle legs. If he didn't satisfy him, wouldn't that be not being a good brother-in-law!

Wang An took a torch and went into the cave to check. In the deepest part of the cave, there were several reed mats and a large pile of firewood, proving that people who had entered the mountains had lived in this cave before.

He took the torch and looked around carefully. Only a mouse saw the firelight and panicked, drilling into a mouse hole!

A cave where mice can survive is basically safe!

Simply tidying up, he dragged the reed mats to the entrance, and they could sleep on them at night.

Never start a fire inside the cave; it's easy to choke people to death inside!

Wang An took out the liquor and each drank a few mouthfuls. They still didn't dare drink too much; it was the middle of the night, and drinking too much made it easy to sleep too soundly, which was too dangerous!

The two were eating meat happily when the three dogs started barking, but it wasn't frantic barking; it should have been something passing by. The two didn't pay attention and continued eating.

"Brother-in-law, how many gazelles are we pulling back tomorrow?" Mu Xueli asked.

"Pull back as many as we can," Wang An replied casually.

"Will those wolves agree?" Mu Xueli continued to ask.

"During the day, the wolves are full, so it's unlikely they will guard there. But tomorrow, it's not just about fighting wolves, we might have to fight other things," Wang An said with a serious face.

This trip into the mountains to pick up gazelles was truly a bit rash!

Although they had guns in their hands and a big 54 in their pockets, he really hadn't expected there to be so many wolves!

And this whole afternoon, it was very wrong. Although he had been prepared in his heart after seeing the marks!

But when he really encountered it, it was completely different from what he had imagined. To be honest, Wang An had no bottom in his heart anymore!

But Wang An definitely wouldn't show it. He was the backbone; if he flinched or was afraid, his brother-in-law might just be finished!

Looking at the seriousness on Wang An's face, Mu Xueli felt the gazelles were a bit hot to handle! But he didn't say any discouraging words!

18 years old, the age when heaven is the boss, earth is the second, and you are the third. Just do it; what's the use of being afraid!

What Wang An didn't notice was that ever since that time they fought the big brown bear, Mu Xueli hadn't fired a single shot, yet he had split so much money and things. His brother-in-law had already become much, much stronger than before!

Actually, you could see Mu Xueli's transformation from fighting the mother and two cubs, but Wang An hadn't thought in that direction at all!

But it was precisely because the two of them didn't retreat that this harvest was much more than usual!

This night was very bad. The three dogs would bark from time to time, making the two of them not dare to sleep at the same time, taking turns watching the campfire!

Fortunately, nothing shitty happened all night!

The next morning, the two didn't rush to the snow pit. After eating and drinking their fill, they waited until the sun had completely risen before driving the sled to kill them.

Because only at this time would those fierce beasts that come out at night return to their nests, so the safety would be a little higher!

Still at the same position as yesterday, they called the stallion from afar. Looking down from here, the view was very open.

He saw that the exit of the snow pit guarded by a dozen wolves was already lively. A brown bear was fighting with a dozen wolves!
