Chapter 1135

The musk deer, also known as the forest musk deer, is where the famous and quite valuable musk comes from.

Of course, musk rats also have musk, but the musk on musk rats only exists when they are in heat. After the mating season, the musk on the musk rat will be discharged with feces and urine.

And the musk of the musk rat is not only small in quantity but also lower in price, far less valuable than the musk of the musk deer.

And the musk of the musk deer will always remain in the musk deer’s body. The older the male musk deer, the stronger the musk in its body. Unless it encounters an emergency, the male musk deer will bite the scent pouch, causing the musk to be wasted in vain.

Of course, this is also a self-protection means for the musk deer, just like a weasel releasing a foul odor when it gets anxious, but once the musk deer’s scent pouch is punctured, that special strong fragrance can be released for a long time.

After Wang An took the gun, his eyes were still fixed on the musk deer that was looming, without even lowering his head, he skillfully loaded the bullets into the chamber, and during this process, Wang An basically didn't make much sound.

After loading the bullets, Wang An carefully raised the gun to his face, stood up very slowly, and after a moment, Wang An pulled the trigger without hesitation.

After a "bang" gunshot, Wang An ran forward like a leopard.

The main thing was that the distance was too far and the line of sight was not very good, and Wang An only had this one chance, so Wang An knew he must have hit it, but where exactly he hit it and whether the musk deer was dead or not, he didn't know.

If it wasn't dead, causing the musk deer to bite the scent pouch before dying, then it’s no exaggeration to say that Wang An would have to slap his thigh until it was swollen.

The reason is simple: musk is damn valuable!

Seeing Wang An running with the gun, Huang Zhong hurriedly picked up the sack Wang An left on the ground and followed him quickly.

Unfortunately, with Wang An’s running speed, how could Huang Zhong’s short legs catch up?

Soon, Wang An ran to the place where he had just discovered the musk deer. He saw that the musk deer’s neck had been shattered by the bullet, and the musk deer was lying on the ground kicking its legs, looking like it was about to die at any moment.

Seeing this, Wang An immediately relaxed his tense heart.

Although there was no one around for the time being, Wang An still smiled and talked to himself:

"Oh my god, this big musk deer, it’s damn satisfying, hahahaha..."

Squatting down, Wang An touched the musk deer’s scent pouch and found that this scent pouch was the size of an egg. The smile on Wang An’s face became even stronger.

Such a large and complete scent pouch, even at the acquisition price of the supply and marketing cooperative, would be at least over 3,000 yuan.

Of course, Wang An wouldn't sell it to the supply and marketing cooperative, because this thing is like pig gallstones and bezoar; there are many people who acquire it privately, and those who acquire this thing privately usually pay at least 5,000 yuan for a musk deer’s scent pouch.

That’s right, it’s over 5,000 yuan, because the price of musk has been extremely expensive since ancient times, several times more expensive than bezoar.

Moreover, musk also has a very awesome function, which is that after being made into a scent pouch and worn on a woman’s body for a long time, it also has a contraceptive function, but whether this statement is accurate or not, Wang An doesn't know.

After touching the scent pouch, Wang An took out his knife and very carefully took out the scent pouch completely.

Looking at the furry scent pouch the size of an egg in his hand, the corners of Wang An’s mouth couldn't help but rise again.

Good stuff! Absolutely good stuff!

After a moment, Huang Zhong finally caught up, panting. As soon as he reached Wang An, Huang Zhong couldn't help but ask Wang An:

"Big Brother, what did you see? Did you hit it?"

Wang An put away the scent pouch, pointed at the musk deer in the grass, and said with a smile:

"Look, do you know what this is?"

Huang Zhong looked closely, frowned, and said:

"This is... a roe deer?"

Wang An smiled upon hearing this and was just about to speak when he heard Huang Zhong say again:

"No, roe deer don't have tusks. This thing has tusks; it’s definitely not a roe deer."

From Huang Zhong’s words, it’s not hard to hear that Huang Zhong hadn't seen a musk deer, or rather, he didn't recognize a musk deer at all.

However, it’s normal not to recognize it, because musk deer usually live alone, and this thing is very timid.

The most critical thing is that its hearing, smell, and vision are as awesome as a sika deer, but its body size is very small. The largest male musk deer is only about 30 jin. It can be said that before people can get close to it, it has already hidden or run far away, not giving people a chance to see it at all.

Finally, Huang Zhong couldn't help but ask:

"What is this, Big Brother?"

Wang An said:

"This thing is a musk deer, also called forest musk deer."

Huang Zhong nodded, looked at the musk deer in front of him with curiosity, and smiled:

"There’s actually a deer this small, smaller than a roe deer, hehehe."

Seeing that Huang Zhong didn't understand the thing about the musk on the musk deer, Wang An didn't explain too much. With a flick of his knife, he cut open the musk deer’s neck, pressed the musk deer’s stomach a few times, and after the blood flowed out, Wang An said:

"Alright, let’s go, go home."

As he spoke, Wang An threw the dripping musk deer onto his shoulder and led the way forward.

At this time, the two were on the outskirts of the mountains, and it would be completely fine to wait until they got home to gut the musk deer. The main thing was that if they gutted it now, it would be impossible to carry it on his shoulder.

After a while, Wang An saw Huang Zhong struggling to catch up with him while carrying the sack, so he said helplessly:

"You take the gun, and I’ll carry the sack."

It must be said that Huang Zhong’s physique is really tough. Weighing 70 or 80 jin and standing less than 1.4 meters tall, walking with Wang An was truly difficult for Huang Zhong, because when Wang An walked normally, Huang Zhong had to run to keep up.

In order to show his value, Huang Zhong said stubbornly:

"It’s okay, Big Brother, I can carry it."

It’s just that when he spoke, Huang Zhong was obviously a bit out of breath.

Wang An rubbed Huang Zhong’s head, then reached out and pulled the sack from Huang Zhong’s back, smiling:

"Alright, don't push yourself, just carry the gun."

Huang Zhong looked at Wang An, took the gun awkwardly, and said:

"Thank you, Big Brother. Am I a bit too useless?"

Wang An laughed and said truthfully:

"Yeah, you are indeed not of much use now, hahahaha."

After handing the gun to Huang Zhong, Wang An rubbed Huang Zhong’s head again, carried the musk deer on his left shoulder, carried the sack in his right hand, and walked forward with big strides, while Huang Zhong carried a 56-semi and ran to catch up with Wang An again.

This scene was really like a father leading his son.
