It was frozen too hard, and most of the time had been wasted on thawing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mongolian gazelle hide is similar to roe deer hide; neither is worth much, but they have excellent heat retention and are lightweight, making them very good for coats!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, whether it’s roe deer hide or gazelle hide, they are both leather—soft leather. It’s only because of the era that they aren't valuable. If used to make thin leather jackets or trousers, they are top-tier materials!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for fox fur, large pelts, or tiger cub skins, those are proper furs. Once made into clothing, they are called \"fur garments,\" which are both warm and beautiful! That is why they are so valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the skin of a leopard is beautiful, there is basically no one who can actually wear it on their body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing is extremely rare and expensive; it is usually placed on a chair, mainly for decoration. The symbolic meaning outweighs everything else!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the true name of the \"earth leopard\" is the leopard. The word \"leopard\" (bao) is a homophone for \"burst\" or \"bag\" in \"money burst\" or \"money bag.\" Sitting on a \"money burst,\" or being wrapped in a \"money bag\"—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of feeling is that? Isn't it just properly satisfying?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, these days such things are done on the sly. No one dares to openly play at being a \"money burst\" or \"money bag\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doing so is not much different from having lived enough and wanting to seek death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the fact that most people like this stuff is also an unspoken understanding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At eight o'clock in the evening, the family lit the kerosene lamp and finally ate the gazelle meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole family was beaming with joy. Although the family had never been without meat since Wang An was reborn and started hunting in the mountains, this was the first time they had eaten gazelle meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, no matter how you eat gazelle meat, it doesn't make you feel greasy. Little sister Wang Xiaoli nodded while eating, muttering, \"So yummy, really so yummy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While eating, little sister Wang Xiaoli suddenly said, \"Big Brother, don't hunt pigs anymore, just hunt gazelles. Gazelles are yummy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole family was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure, whatever little sister says to hunt, Big Brother will hunt,\" Wang An said while laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little sister Wang Xiaoli was chewing meat and opened her mouth, but perhaps it was inconvenient to speak, so she nodded quite seriously! This caused the whole family to burst into another round of laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When sleeping at night, Wang An, who had eaten quite a bit of gazelle meat, felt his whole body was on fire, especially a certain part—it was practically about to spray fire!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a few quick movements, he turned Mu Xueqing into a stark-naked Mu Xueqing, and then Wang An climbed up impatiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early the next morning, before dawn, Mu Xueli arrived at Wang An's house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Wang An and Wang Dazhu were fully prepared. Because they were going to haul back game, they didn't bring the dogs. The three of them each drove a sled and headed straight into the mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because there was so much meat, Wang Dazhu had volunteered to go into the mountains together. Three sleds were enough to haul all the game back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, Wang Dazhu had brought a long hook usually used for harvesting pine nuts or hazelnuts. This hook was a good six or seven meters long, and it was quite a nuisance on the sled!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when Wang An saw this hook, his eyes lit up. He instantly realized that his old man's brain was truly useful—it was practically prescient!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because those gazelles had all been chased by the wolf pack into snow pits, it had been quite a struggle for Wang An to drag out the living and dead ones yesterday. If he had this big hook, wouldn't it save a lot of effort?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the road, the three of them didn't delay at all and headed straight for that depression. As far as the harvest from the snares was concerned, the gazelles were obviously more important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time they were familiar with the road, so their speed was faster. Three and a half hours later, the three of them arrived at the edge of the depression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Dazhu looked around, tied a long hemp rope to the tail of the long hook, and tugged it twice to test if it was tied securely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Mu Xueli and then instructed Wang An, \"Xiao An, you go down into the snow pit and use the hook to catch the gazelles by the chin. Xueli and I will pull from above.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Mu Xueli immediately said, \"Uncle, let me go down into the snow pit, and you and my brother-in-law can pull.\" As he spoke, he was about to jump into the snow pit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, Wang An felt quite gratified. In terms of working, his brother-in-law truly never shirked or slacked off!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in this kind of situation, how could the father and son be on top while an outsider was in the pit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Wang An grabbed Mu Xueli directly and said, \"Listen to your uncle's arrangement. Why are you so disobedient?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Wang An finished speaking, he spotted a patch of snow that hadn't been stepped on by gazelles and jumped down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then... Wang An disappeared!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Dazhu and Mu Xueli were both stunned, staring blankly at the snow pit Wang An had jumped into. Mu Xueli was just about to shout when he saw Wang An pop back out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang An, who had emerged from the snow, stood in snow waist-deep, holding his snow-covered hat in his left hand, brushing the snow off his head and face with his right hand, and said angrily:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, I was careless! My hat fell into the snow nest, damn it! It made me fumble around blindly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two who had been worried were instantly speechless. After a while, Wang Dazhu said with disappointment, \"Twenty years old, lived in vain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his brother-in-law's miserable state and hearing him get scolded, Mu Xueli wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. He held it in so hard it seemed quite uncomfortable, as his face was distorted from the effort!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three began to pull the gazelles. Their coordination was quite tacit. Wang An would hook the dead gazelles with the hook thrown down, and Wang Dazhu and Mu Xueli would pull them out from above the pit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, one gazelle carcass after another was dragged out of the pit. Wang Dazhu and Mu Xueli were very happy; only Wang An didn't feel much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang An's biggest feeling was exhaustion. Moving in the snow nest was a very difficult task; it required using both hands and feet, crawling and rolling!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he had to maintain his balance, otherwise, he would fall down the moment he tried, and occasionally he would dive into the snow, giving his face a snow bath!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most annoying thing was that whenever he lay down or dived into the snow, the snow would get into his collar. That icy chill was truly stimulating!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some gazelles were frozen in the snow and required a wood axe to chop the snow, which was difficulty upon difficulty!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, this way of hunting was quite good; it didn't waste guns or bullets, just pick up gazelles!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just a bit hard on Wang An, but Wang An was young and could take the beating; no matter how hard it was, it didn't matter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, at a little past 12:00 noon, all the gazelle carcasses had been dragged out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Dazhu threw the hook down one last time, intending to pull Wang An up with Mu Xueli.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang An grabbed the hook with both hands, and Wang Dazhu and Mu Xueli pulled with all their might from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the place where the hook connected to the wooden pole was tied with thin hemp rope, it just so happened that when Wang An stepped on the edge of the pit and was about to come out, the thin hemp rope snapped!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It snapped right on time, clean and crisp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang An, clutching the hook tightly with both hands, fell straight backward, shouting, \"Damn!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there was a \"plop\" sound, and Wang An fell into the snow pit lying down, disappearing again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Dazhu and Mu Xueli were pulling the wooden pole with great effort. Due to the sudden snapping of the rope and the effect of inertia, the two of them fell backward while still clutching the pole!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the wooden pole was quite gossipy; as they lay there, it stood upright in the air, poking its head to look into the snow pit where Wang An had left a hole!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, neither Wang Dazhu and Mu Xueli nor Wang An were hurt, because they all climbed up on their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it! This hook has a grudge against me!\" Wang An said angrily while standing in the snow nest after climbing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What grudge? Hurry up and get up here!\" Wang Dazhu, perhaps feeling a bit embarrassed about falling, said angrily while extending the pole down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Follow for updates, reward with tickets!\u003C\u002Fp>",1604,"2026-06-12T12:41:02.024Z","2026-06-18T03:38:37.614Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","b684d6552ffcab611f1876b0686ece1e062376ea98917ee238f649c1baba4237","reborn-in-the-80s-mountain-hunting-is-also-a-lif-chapter-114","reborn-in-the-80s-mountain-hunting-is-also-a-lif-chapter-112",1172,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-the-80s-mountain-hunting-is-also-a-lif-cover.jpg"]
