Chapter 162: A Chill Down the Spine

Passing the bend again, Wang An stared at the spot for a long time, but couldn't come up with a perfect countermeasure.

This place was truly too eerie; rotten things always seemed to be attracted here, as if an invisible hand were controlling it all!

The main thing was, this kind of thing didn't seem like something a mortal could solve. The paper had been burned, the incense had been lit, yet it still couldn't be suppressed. There really was no good way!

Wang An watched for a while, then his eyes suddenly lit up. He had forgotten an important item, something that could be called a divine artifact—the "Ma Lei Zi" firecracker!

A "Ma Lei Zi" is a single firecracker. This thing has more kick than a "two-kick" firecracker, and it doesn't fly into the sky to explode like one, but once it goes off, the sound is like thunder, lingering and very shocking!

It makes people's ears ring with a "buzzing" sound, temporarily turning them deaf.

Thinking of this "divine artifact," Wang An felt at ease and headed home.

After returning home, the first thing he did was take out some candy to tease the two little sisters. The two little sisters were naturally overjoyed, saying "Big Brother is the best," "Big Brother is still the best" over and over.

In fact, there was still plenty of candy at home, but Liu Guilan was frugal, only giving each of the two little girls two or three pieces of candy a day.

Of course, when she was in a good mood, it was 3 pieces each, and when she was in a bad mood, it was 2 pieces each. The two little girls naturally ate until their mouths were sweet and sticky, never getting enough.

After soothing the two little sisters, Wang An called the whole family to the west room and took out 6 stacks of "Great Unity" banknotes. The reason he didn't take them all out was that 1,200 yuan belonged to Feng Chengmin and Mu Xueli.

Although there would be no issue with calculating and splitting the money based on the supply and marketing cooperative's purchase price, whether it was Wang An's past life of trading goods or selling firearms, or his current rebirth of mountain-going, he disdained doing such things.

If it was agreed how to split it, then that's how it would be split, regardless of what method was used to sell it for more money! So, since it was decided to be half each, it was half each. It was just a matter of personal principle.

When the 6 stacks of "Great Unity" were placed on the kang, the visual impact was quite enormous!

In this era, perhaps in the entire DJ County with its hundreds of thousands of people, the number of people who could take out 6,000 yuan wouldn't exceed the fingers on one hand. This was a fact!

Therefore, whether it was Wang Dazhu, Liu Guilan, or Mu Xueqing, they all stared at the six stacks of "Great Unity" in shock, unable to speak for a long time.

After a long while, Liu Guilan said with a trembling voice: "Is this, is this all ours?"

"Yes, I've already set aside my uncle-in-law's and Xueli's shares," Wang An said with a smile.

"Oh my mother! This is too much!" Unexpectedly, Liu Guilan wasn't as excited as imagined, but instead sighed.

Wang An looked at his mother's reaction and was very surprised. Had his mother changed? Shouldn't she be very excited?

And his mother's next actions shattered Wang An's perception of her.

She picked up one stack of money, clutched it in her hand, and said to Wang An and Mu Xueqing: "I've already told your father, you two have been married for so long now, from now on, just hand over a small portion of the money Xiao An makes from mountain-going to me. That'll be enough to help out the three little ones at home. As for the rest, you manage it yourselves."

Huh? What was this situation? Did his mother not want to be the "boss" anymore?

His mother continued: "Building a house next year will definitely cost a lot. How can you build a house if you don't have money in your hands? It's inconvenient for me to hold it and use it later. Alright, you take the money."

After Liu Guilan finished speaking, she turned to hide the money, and Wang Dazhu followed her to the outer room.

Mu Xueqing looked at Wang An, seemingly asking what to do with the money. Wang An thought for a moment and felt that his mother must have some purpose in doing this, as if she were planning to split the family, but it didn't matter. Anyway, if he didn't agree, she couldn't do anything.

Thinking of this, Wang An smiled at Mu Xueqing and said: "Since Mom said so, you take it. Anyway, you don't let me hold the money."

Hearing this, Mu Xueqing took the money and said: "Who told you to go wandering everywhere every day? Let's see how you wander without money, hmph!"

Wang An felt a bit awkward, but with his thick skin, he didn't care.

Instead, he pulled Mu Xueqing into his arms and kissed her little mouth, not letting go until she was out of breath.

Seeing Mu Xueqing, who had been "gnawed" on by Wang An, her face flushed red as she gasped for air, she glared at him fiercely, but whispered: "My period is over."

Uh... this was clearly a signal to start a war!

Wang An chuckled and patted Mu Xueqing's bottom.

Wang An turned to take the Box Cannon and the large Type 54 from the bag, intending to put them in the kang cabinet. Guns were most afraid of dampness; once they got damp and weren't discovered, they wouldn't be safe to use, and the worst thing was a barrel explosion.

Of course, as long as they were maintained regularly, the possibility of a barrel explosion wasn't high.

At this moment, Mu Xueqing saw the two guns in Wang An's hands, stepped forward, snatched them away, and began to play with them happily, one in each hand.

To be honest, having his guns snatched away by Mu Xueqing truly stunned Wang An for a moment.

Since the day they were married, he had discovered that this woman seemed to love guns very much. He remembered her sitting on the mule cart, pulling that Mosin-Nagant out of the sack.

And the new Type 56 semi-automatic at home—not only was the greaseproof paper gone, but the gun oil on it had almost been wiped away.

Wang An said with a smile: "What? You still fancy this stuff?"

Mu Xueqing didn't even look up and said happily: "Yes. If you ever dare to abandon me one day, I'll shoot you, and then I'll swallow the gun and commit suicide."

Wang An was startled, instantly feeling a chill down his spine, his heart skipping a beat!

Damn, although this woman's looks and figure were invincible, beautiful to the extreme, inside that beautiful exterior was a truly fierce little heart!

But Wang An would definitely never abandon Mu Xueqing. Such a good wife—whether it was her appearance, figure, personality, or how she managed the household, especially when they were naked together on the kang—could be said to be quite perfect!

Marrying her was perhaps a blessing from his past life... no, his great-past life. How could he abandon her? Impossible!

Wang An swallowed hard and said: "If that day really comes, it'll be you abandoning me! I worked so hard to marry you home; you want me to abandon you? I won't do it!"

Mu Xueqing didn't look up and continued happily: "Hmph, I assume you wouldn't dare to abandon me."

Wang An smacked his lips, not daring to speak. The main thing was that this woman had a gun in her hand! Tell me, isn't that scary?

After a while, Mu Xueqing said: "I want to keep one of these two guns. I thought the revolver from last time was for me! Did you give it to Lu Yueyue?"

Hearing this, Wang An's heart skipped another beat. How did this woman know everything?

But even if she knew, they couldn't continue discussing it. Besides, Lu Yueyue had already left, meaning the person involved might never appear again. Making Mu Xueqing unhappy for someone who wouldn't appear was just nonsense!

Therefore, Wang An didn't answer Mu Xueqing's question, but said very crisply: "Why keep just one? Keep them both. I say so; these two guns are yours."

Wang An's evasion made Mu Xueqing glare at him again, but she didn't pursue it further.

Two things, please keep reading, please reward with tickets, a million thanks!
