Chapter 154: The Scum of the Earth

~8 min read 1,542 words

After eating and drinking their fill, the three began to pack this big pile of things onto the sled.

Wang An asked the two, "How much meat are you leaving? The rest will all be sold tomorrow."

Seeing Mu Xueli said, "I'll leave 5 sheep carcasses; I don't want anything else."

Wang An's question stunned Wang Li, who pondered for a long time and said, "I don't know either; my house doesn't have any meat at all."

Seeing Mu Xueli was stunned when he heard this. Back then, his house didn't have any meat either, and they couldn't even see any meat or fish, but now they had to be picky when eating meat.

Wang An also knew the situation in Wang Li's house, so he said, "Logically speaking, we should just divide it into three equal parts. If you want to handle your share of the meat yourself, I'll just give it to you. If you want to sell it, I'll sell it all together and then divide the money. Do you understand?"

Before Wang Li could speak, Wang An continued, "Close brothers settle accounts clearly; discussing these things isn't shameful."

Hearing Wang An say this, Wang Li said with a smile, "Then I'll leave a bit more, and sell the rest. Just give me a smaller share of the money."

Wang An said with a smile, "The three of us mountain-trekking, the meat we eat can be left at will; it doesn't count in the division. As long as you aren't greedy, there's no problem. If your house doesn't have meat, just leave a bit more; it's not a big deal! Furthermore, mountain-trekking and lacking meat to eat—isn't that nonsense?"

Wang Li thought for a while and said, "Then I'll leave one sheep carcass, one black bear, and one wolf carcass. Do you think that's okay?"

Wang An said with a smile, "Why wouldn't that be okay? Why are you so embarrassed? We always enter the mountains, so this meat won't be lacking."

At this time, Seeing Mu Xueli said with a smile from the side, "Hehe, I advise you to leave more sheep carcasses. This thing is the most delicious no matter how you eat it."

Wang Li glanced at the sheep carcass and said very suspiciously, "This thing doesn't have any oil; it's dry and shriveled. I don't know how you can treasure this thing."

Seeing Mu Xueli was stunned when he heard this, and then said sheepishly, "Fine, consider I didn't say anything."

The three packed the sled and headed back.

On the way, the three were blowing their own horns, chatting nonsense, and smoking Seeing Mu Xueli's Changbai Mountain cigarettes, each one feeling beautiful!

This time entering the mountains, although it was very dangerous—if Wang An hadn't arrived in time, maybe both Seeing Mu Xueli and Wang Li would have been dead or disabled!

However, coexisting with the danger was a very huge harvest!

21 complete blue sheep skins. Because the sizes were different, but on average, one piece was at least 70 yuan or more. This was about 1500 yuan.

Four damaged blue sheep skins, even if the price was halved, would be about 140 yuan!

Four complete wolf skins, about 120 yuan!

Three iron galls, at least 1000 yuan!

Three black bear skins, 75 yuan!

Black bear noses and kneecaps—one nose is 5 yuan, one kneecap is 5 yuan. Three bears would be 45!

If you add the meat, black bear paws, and all the miscellaneous things, it would be at least over 3000 yuan!

It was just that Wang An didn't plan to sell the black bear noses and kneecaps because black bear noses, after being air-dried or baked, are things that can be kept.

And kneecaps are just a piece of "knucklebone"; they can be kept for many years without any problem, and they are even known as "fake tiger bone," which is the first choice for soaking in wine in the Northeast!

You have to know that in the Northeast, because of the temperature, most people have "old cold legs." Old cold legs aren't considered a disease, but they affect walking.

And when they flare up, the feeling in the knees is like cold air coming out, and it's very painful. That is truly damn uncomfortable!

Mainly, the older you get, the more serious it will be because when people get older, their qi and blood will decline. Simply put, their internal fire isn't vigorous, so they become less resistant to the cold!

Wang An clearly remembered that in his previous life, in the fence yard, when his parents were chatting, they said their old cold legs had flared up again. Every time the old couple left the meeting room, they supported each other as they walked. One could see how much pain these old cold legs caused his parents!

However, now there is deer bone soaking wine at home, and leopard bone soaking wine, and in terms of effect, it's about the same as black bear kneecap soaking wine; both can fight old cold legs!

But this thing is the more the better, just in case. If you sell it, it's not worth much money!

Wang An and the three first arrived at Seeing Mu Xueli's house, unloaded the five sheep carcasses, and Seeing Mu Xueli thought for a while and left the four black bear paws.

After a round of pleasantries, Wang An left two black bear kneecaps for Seeing Mu Xueli and told Seeing Mu Xueli not to forget to soak them in wine. Seeing Mu Xueli was stunned for a moment, and only then did he react to his brother-in-law's intention, seeming very guilty because his brother-in-law had thought of something he hadn't!

Returning to Kaoshan Village, to avoid the people in the village from making a mess and causing everyone to come and ask for meat, Wang An drove the sled directly back to his own house and then let Wang Li go home to call people to take the meat.

Actually, the people in the village now all know that Wang An is mountain-trekking, but Wang An's house is at the westernmost end of the village, and every time Wang An returns home, he returns from the mountains in the west, so the people in the village can't see Wang An's shadow!

Furthermore, Wang An's reputation is well-known, so basically no one dares to take the initiative to come to the door to ask for meat. If you don't get the meat and then get beaten up, that's not worth it!

Besides a few people who took advantage of Wang An not being at home to get a little meat, many others were waiting for Wang An to take the initiative to distribute meat. But would Wang An distribute it?

Therefore, there would definitely be people in the village discussing or dissatisfied with Wang An's family because from the time Wang An started mountain-trekking until now, they hadn't gotten a damn thing!

It was just that these discussions or dissatisfaction could only be discussed quietly by a few people or held in their stomachs. If they dared to let Wang An hear it to his face, getting beaten up would definitely be considered light!

Of course, Wang An knew all of this because Liu Guilan heard it from these few relatives in the village, and then when the family was chatting, she told Wang An.

It was just that after Wang An heard it, he didn't care at all. They were just the scum of the earth. If they really dared to show off, just fight!

However, for three or five, or ten or eight, Wang An definitely wouldn't indulge them, but if he became the public enemy of the whole village, that would be nonsense!

So to avoid this situation from happening, Wang An definitely couldn't drive a sled full of meat and show off in the village, so he could only let Wang Li go home to call people to take the meat!

Actually, the few mountain-trekking people in the village also hide their prey. Although it is now a collective system, and the rules of mountain-trekking do say that if someone asks, you have to give a little.

But how many people would be that generous? It's absolutely impossible!

Who doesn't know that it's warm inside the house? Running in the mountains in this freezing cold weather, you also have to bear the risk of various injuries, and even the result of death! And after working hard to hunt prey, you have to give it away for free?

Get the hell out of here!

I'm not the Buddha; do I have to save you? No, it's "do I have to deliver you?"

Although no one follows this damn rule, I guess the person who said this rule must not be a mountain-trekking person!

If he were a mountain-trekking person, he would definitely be a mountain-trekking person who had stayed in a manure pit! Because if his brain wasn't occupied by too much shit, he wouldn't be able to say this rule!
