Chapter 111

~9 min read 1,639 words

Pulling the pole, Wang An carefully crawled out of the pit at last!

The moment he stood on the edge of the pit, Wang An had the feeling of having completed a historical mission!

This pit not only trapped sheep, but also wanted to trap people!

The three of them began to load the yellow sheep carcasses onto the sled, 86 in total, plus the 40 from yesterday, for a total of 126! The number of yellow sheep harvested this time was quite considerable!

Plus those eaten by wolves, bears, and other wild beasts, who knows how many of this group of yellow sheep must have died along the way?

And those that could survive here with Wang An this time were only 24!

Wang An dragged out a small yellow sheep to eat later, and then loaded the wolf carcass from yesterday and the red dog carcass on. However, they still didn't finish loading them all; the remaining four red dog carcasses with severely damaged fur were just left there!

The three of them drove the sleds to the cave where Wang An and Mu Seeing Mu Xueli had stayed the night before last. As for why they had to come here, the reason was simple: it was sheltered from the wind and had ready-made firewood.

Wang An went through another round of chaotic chopping, chopped off the four legs of the small yellow sheep, and handed them to Mu Seeing Mu Xueli to skin. Although they were frozen sheep legs, skinning in this situation didn't need to be careful; as long as there was no fur, it was fine!

So, Mu Seeing Mu Xueli skinned them quite fast, anyway faster than Wang An. When Wang An went through another round of chaotic chopping and chopped the skinned yellow sheep leg into small pieces, Wang Wang Dazhu had already fed the three horses.

Without needing anyone to direct him, Wang Wang Dazhu started a fire, then filled a pot with snow and placed it on the rack to melt.

After a while, the three of them were smoking, looking at the pot that hadn't started steaming yet, and the big pancakes roasting on the side!

Waiting time is the longest. Wang An took out the wine flask again.

The moment he saw the wine, Wang Wang Dazhu was the happiest. Before Wang An could even take a sip, the wine flask was snatched away by Wang Wang Dazhu!

Wang An stared blankly at his dad, his face full of helplessness!

This dad was too overbearing!

No choice! Who let him be his own father! Privilege! Absolutely no way!

After Wang Wang Dazhu drank two sips, he handed the wine flask to Mu Seeing Mu Xueli, saying: "Big boy, come drink some, warm up."

Wang An's hand, which was extended in mid-air to receive the wine flask, retracted awkwardly!

But Mu Seeing Mu Xueli was still relatively good at handling people, and wanted to hand the wine flask to Wang An again. It's just that no matter how shameless Wang An was, he couldn't take the wine flask while his brother-in-law hadn't taken a single sip!

Then he said: "You drink quickly, don't let it be, I'm still waiting."

Mu Seeing Mu Xueli smiled, didn't decline anymore, and drank a big mouthful.

When he finally drank the wine, this spicy stimulation made Wang An feel comfortable from the inside out!

Staying in the snowdrift for two or three hours, the penetrating power of that cold air was quite fierce, seemingly ignoring the thickness of the cotton jacket and pants, hitting the human body directly, and having a feeling of passing through the flesh and hitting the bones directly!

That kind of coldness makes people feel like cold wind is blowing out from their bones. Actually, it's just being frozen through, making people feel cold from the inside out!

And this mouthful of wine went down, seemingly instantly dispelling the chill of the whole body, so it made people feel comfortable all over!

He drank another big mouthful before handing the wine flask to his father.

After Wang Wang Dazhu and Mu Seeing Mu Xueli each drank another sip, Wang An directly put the wine flask away!

And Wang Wang Dazhu seemed not to care at all, having a feeling that it should be like this.

Drinking too much wine will delay things; it seems everyone knows this!

After waiting for a while, the yellow sheep meat was finally cooked. After skimming off the blood foam, Wang An served a bowl of soup and meat to his dad and brother-in-law each, and he himself started eating directly with a spoon!

For delicious things, getting them into the mouth is the main purpose. As for whether to serve it in a bowl or use a spoon as a bowl, it doesn't matter at all! Just eat it!

The meat was eaten up, and the three of them were left wanting more, licking their lips!

Although there was plenty of meat and it definitely couldn't be finished, it was past noon now, so just making do with a bit was fine. If they delayed any longer, they might not even reach home before dark!

Each of them drank some sheep soup and ate two big pancakes, then packed up the pots and bowls and headed home.

Even without any delays on the way, the three of them didn't return home until it was completely dark, which was past 5 o'clock!

Mu Seeing Mu Xueli said he was afraid his family would worry, so he unhitched the big green horse from the sled and rode home.

Wang An wanted to stop him, but was pulled back by Mu Mu Xueqing.

At night, after eating dinner, Wang An, who had intended to sleep, still felt cold air radiating from his whole body! It was just constant cold; no matter what, he had a feeling of not being able to recover!

Wang An knew this was still the aftereffect of picking up sheep in the snow in the morning. The mouthful of wine at noon only temporarily suppressed this chill.

Driving the sled all afternoon was equivalent to being frozen all afternoon, so it couldn't be suppressed anymore!

But it was much simpler after getting home. He poured half a small bowl of deer antler and ginseng wine and drank it!

Fiery heat plus warmth, it spread throughout his whole body in a short while!

This kind of wine is strong and has sufficient medicinal properties. Actually, 2 Da Qian of it would be enough for Wang An, but he accidentally poured about one liang!

After this mouthful went down, Wang An not only completely lost the feeling of cold, but a certain part also swelled up, just like a rolling pin, uncomfortable to the point of death!

So, Mu Mu Xueqing became a bare Mu Mu Xueqing again!

That night, the two of them basically didn't sleep, playing games the whole time!

Wang An finally had a clear understanding of the medicinal properties of this wine. Based on the knowledge about ginseng that Han Han Shuisheng had told him, and thinking about what the ginseng looked like when it was first soaked in the wine, Wang An concluded that the ginseng in this deer antler and ginseng wine must be at least 50 years old!

That is to say, this ginseng is at least a 5-leaf ginseng, and very likely a 6-leaf one!

Wang An couldn't even predict the specific value of the jar of wine he had soaked, but it must be worth a hell of a lot of money! This is seriously good stuff!

This is also the reason why people in the Northeast like to soak wine. Liking to drink is one aspect, but mainly, soaking wine can truly have an effect on the body!

When he got up in the morning, Wang An was still refreshed and spirited!

But Mu Mu Xueqing seemed very uncomfortable, not even daring to take big steps when walking!

Yesterday, he had agreed with his brother-in-law not to go into the mountains today, because he had to find a way to sell this pile of thousands of pounds of meat.

To tell the truth, Wang An thought of those three second-generation kids immediately.

Because with their energy and connections, wanting to dispose of this meat should be a quite simple matter. If they contacted any canteen or unit, this bit of meat might not even be enough to go around!

After breakfast, Wang An checked his bullets and gun, put 3 yellow sheep carcasses on the sled, and drove the sled straight to the county town.

On the way, Wang An suddenly remembered that the last two times he went to the county town, every time he could rush, or rather, look for trouble, a murder case would happen!

Wang An doesn't like killing people, but those things just had to make Wang An send them on their way!

It's as if they were looking for Wang An to be reincarnated, so they could be born into a good family in the next life!

Wang An drove the sled straight to the county government, because at this time, as long as there were no special circumstances, the people who should be at work would definitely be in their offices.

Wang An was stopped at the government gate, and he heard the gatekeeper uncle ask: "Young man, who are you looking for?"

Wang An immediately put a smile on his face and took out a cigarette to light for the gatekeeper uncle.

The gatekeeper at this time was a serious official employee, and the things he was responsible for weren't just watching the gate!

Follow-up reads depend on asking, tickets depend on rewards!
