Chapter 111
Looking at the two big piles of valuable prey, and then looking at the yellow sheep in the snow pit, the mood is so comfortable, happy!
After counting, there were 36 wolf corpses, 21 red dog corpses, and of course, one tiger cub corpse; his brother-in-law was about to finish skinning it!
It’s just that the fur of 14 wolf corpses and 7 red dog corpses was basically ruined; selling them definitely wouldn't be worth much!
Making coats is also unlikely because of the lack of fur; making mattresses is quite good, but mattresses are useless if you make too many!
The fur of a dozen or so yellow-throated marten corpses was not badly damaged, but it wasn't valuable; the fur of this thing doesn't keep warm, and the fur is sparse.
But it felt good to touch; his brother-in-law liked to touch it, so giving it to his brother-in-law was perfectly fine!
"Xueqing, I’ll go fetch the sled; you pick the wolves with good fur to skin later, must pay attention to safety, keep the large 54-pistol well, return it to me later, your Mosin-Nagant is a bit slow to fire," Wang An said, handing the large 54-pistol to his brother-in-law, and turned to leave!
"Got it, brother-in-law, don't worry!" Mu Xueqing took the large 54-pistol and said casually.
Ten minutes later, Wang An walked to the sled, tied the big stallion behind the sled pulled by the big blue horse, and drove the big blue horse to set off.
This big blue horse was truly not as easy to use as the big stallion; when it got close to the wolf corpses, it became manic and restless and wouldn't move forward at all.
Wang An was so angry he wanted to beat the big blue horse; it was afraid even though the wolves were dead; it was truly a coward, good for nothing!
The wolf skins and big bear skin at home had been hanging in the stable, and the big mare at home wasn't afraid, but this big blue horse was so cowardly; he didn't know why!
Suddenly, Wang An remembered something Feng Chengmin had said: horses have small courage, and feeding them meat can make them a bit better; it is said that Oroqen horses are all fed meat.
His eyes lit up instantly, and he decided to try it; Wang An tied the big blue horse to a tree, turned around, and cut two small strips of meat from the tiger cub, then fed the big stallion first.
The big stallion sniffed it first, then ate it, leaving Wang An dumbfounded!
You have to say, this big stallion really eats meat!
However, when it was the big blue horse’s turn, the big blue horse was quite hopeless, shaking its head back and forth to avoid the meat, not even sniffing it.
Wang An became impatient, hugged the big blue horse’s head, and stuffed the meat into the big blue horse’s mouth!
He saw the big blue horse get startled and lift its head up, standing up directly, taking Wang An, who was still hugging the horse’s head, off the ground.
Wang An was instantly off the ground and was also a bit panicked, not daring to let go of the horse’s head, experiencing the feeling of a human flying in the air.
The big blue horse stood for a while, then came down; it originally wanted to spit out the meat strip in its mouth, but maybe its tongue touched the meat, and it ate the meat strip it had spit out halfway!
Wang An saw that the big blue horse also ate meat and revealed a mischievous, successful smile, but the big blue horse seemed to have eaten one piece and not had enough, actively sniffing Wang An’s hand.
Wang An looked and was happy, turned around and cut another small strip of wolf meat, and fed it to the big blue horse; the big blue horse seemed to eat it quite happily, but after all, it was a herbivore, and Wang An was afraid of feeding it too much and something happening, so although the big blue horse still wanted to eat, he didn't dare to feed it anymore.
Leading the big blue horse close to the pile of wolf corpses again, the big blue horse seemed to still be a bit afraid, but it dared to move forward!
You have to say, the experience of old hunters is truly rich; for this kind of thing, if no one told him, Wang An would never know that horses eat meat, and he definitely wouldn't know that horses eating meat would give them courage!
Driving the sled close and tying it up, Mu Xueqing had already skinned four wolves; Wang An didn't go to skin the wolves, but went to catch the yellow sheep.
Of these hundred or so yellow sheep, at least twenty or so were still alive; the living ones were trapped in places where the snow was relatively shallow, and they were all strong, big sheep!
Naturally, he had to catch the living ones first, because the price of living ones and dead ones was completely different, and for this kind of wild animal, even if you raised them, no one would say anything.
Mainly because the policy has been relaxed now; for raising livestock and poultry, they basically don't care much, otherwise no matter how many you raise, it’s in vain; they would all be confiscated, and you would be severely punished!
Still have to thank that old man who drew the circle!
After catching one and tying it up, he placed it beside the sled; after catching them all, there were 24 living yellow sheep, including 6 rams and 18 ewes.
At this time, Mu Xueqing had also finished skinning all the wolves and red dogs with good fur.
In a place where the snow was slightly shallower, he pulled out the 16 dead yellow sheep, jumping cats, dead yellow sheep, and fur were placed under the sled, and the living ones were placed on top!
The two didn't delay, drove the sled, and rushed home!
As for the wolf corpses and such, throwing them here wouldn't be lost, even if one or two were lost, it wouldn't matter at all! Wolf meat is not as delicious as mutton.
Driving fast all the way, until after three o'clock in the afternoon, the two arrived home, having walked for nearly six hours!
People, horses, and dogs were all completely exhausted; even the usual shout after arriving at the courtyard, Wang An shouted weakly!
However, the family, who hadn't been at ease, ran out quickly.
"Did you two go to empty someone’s sheep pen?" Liu Guilan asked in surprise when she saw the sled full of sheep.
"Empty what sheep pen, didn't you see these are yellow sheep?" Wang An was tired and hungry, and his speech was weak.
But he still arranged while unloading the horse from the sled: "Xueqing, hurry up and get us some noodles, get a lot."
After thinking about it, he said: "Boil another pot of water, these two horses have only been gnawing on snow for the past two days."
"Okay, I’ll go right away." Mu Xueqing turned and ran into the house.
"Is this thing so easy to catch?" Wang Dazhu asked with a frown.
Liu Guilan also looked over with an inquiring look.
Anyone with a little common sense knows that for yellow sheep, let alone catching them alive, just finding them is quite difficult.
Hearing his father’s inquiry and seeing his mother’s look, Wang An rolled his eyes and said casually to his brother-in-law: "Xueqing, hurry up and tell your uncle and aunt what happened."
After Wang An finished speaking, he went to tie up and feed the dogs; the dogs had been eating jumping cat meat for the past two days, so he had to feed them some black bear meat; now there was a lot of this stuff at home!
After Wang An finished feeding the dogs, he saw the couple unloading the cart while listening to Mu Xueqing’s storytelling performance! His brother-in-law’s storytelling was indeed quite wonderful, acting with claws and teeth, and saliva flying everywhere!
And the couple was so fascinated that the speed of their work slowed down.
He didn't know why his brother-in-law wasn't hungry when he started performing, and his energy suddenly became vigorous!
He didn't pay attention to these three people and turned to feed the horses, two big bowls of corn kernels and a big handful of salt particles for each horse!
When blowing on the noodles, Mu Xueqing suddenly said: "Brother-in-law, you know the situation of my family; I don't want to raise these living yellow sheep, you keep them all, okay?"
"Why not, then share more of the dead ones with you." Wang An said while slurping noodles.
"We can't eat that many dead ones either; why don't you go to the trouble of selling them all, brother-in-law, and just share a little money with me." Mu Xueqing said with a grin.
Mu Xueqing covered her mouth and giggled when she heard her brother say this!
After hearing this, Wang An forgot to swallow the noodles in his mouth and just stared straight at his brother-in-law, making Mu Xueqing look a bit confused!
It took a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "Are you really shameless? So many, and you still want me to go to 'a little' trouble?"
After swallowing the noodles, he continued: "Come, tell me, how big is this 'little'?"
Mu Xueqing wasn't embarrassed at all and said with a smile: "I have strength, I’m responsible for moving."
Wang An stared blankly at his brother-in-law; this brother-in-law’s brain was perfectly fine, and at critical moments, he was genuinely useful! He pushed all the difficult things onto himself!
He was silent for a long time before saying: "You definitely didn't grow this big brain in vain; you’re so smooth at pitting your brother-in-law!"
Mu Xueqing slurped noodles, giggling without refuting!
