Chapter 222

A few days later, the snow was frozen solid, so it was possible to enter the mountains.

Prey after snow is the easiest to track, because all animals that don't hibernate have to come out to find food; of course, the corresponding dangers are also greater.

But wealth is sought in danger, and this is the business that mountain hunters do.

After Wang An finished breakfast, he counted the equipment for entering the mountains and drove the sled to find Wang Li.

These days, Wang An has been quite comfortable; during the day, he cut cloth and let Liu Guilan and Mu Xueqing sew it, and at night he fiddled with Mu Xueqing, and also took the opportunity to have a "daytime performance" with Shen Wei twice while walking.

What Wang An felt most deeply was that doing it many times is quite exhausting for the waist.

Especially when Wang An stood and let Mu Xueqing or Shen Wei hang on him, this behavior is the most tiring.

Seeing Wang An in hunting clothes, Wang Li greeted happily: "Fourth Brother, finally able to enter the mountains."

The reason Wang Li is so excited is mainly because the gun was bought, but for so many days, not a single shot has been fired!

"Hmm, hurry up and pack up, hitch up the sled, and bring the dogs; today the three of us will drive the sleds; this snow is not shallow, one horse pulling a sled is strenuous, and besides, the mountain animals looking for food in the mountains must be thick." Wang An said with a smile.

"Hey, okay Fourth Brother," Wang Li answered and started to get busy.

Seeing Wang Li put a large handful of wire traps into the sack, Wang An thought to himself: I'll have to be busy for a while today.

Now Wang Daliang's family is a serious rich family, which makes this family smile all the time, and all these changes are because of Wang An.

Although Wang An is only Wang Daliang's nephew, he is now a guest of honor in Wang Daliang's house; whether it is Wang Daliang or Yao Ping, they attach great importance to Wang An.

It's just that for the short time Wang Li took, Wang Daliang and his wife treated Wang An like a guest, taking out Bingcheng cigarettes, pouring water, pine nuts, walnuts, melon seeds, etc., all were displayed.

All this made Wang An feel very helpless; maybe besides parents and close relatives, everyone measures the relationship between each other with money and interests.

10 minutes later, Wang Li was fully prepared and even said to Wang An like a treasure: "Fourth Brother, I also brought a pot of wine."

Wang An nodded with a smile.

The two drove the sleds separately and walked all the way to Mu Xueli's house.

When arriving at Mu Xueli's house, Mu Xueli was carrying a 56-semi and walking toward the outskirts of the mountain.

"Xueli, what are you doing?" Wang An pulled the reins and shouted to Mu Xueli.

"I was thinking of practicing shooting; are we entering the mountains today, Brother-in-law?" Mu Xueli saw Wang An and Wang Li driving the sleds and asked after answering.

It can be seen that Mu Xueli should have been practicing shooting in the mountains every day for these days.

Because he had already stepped out a path into the mountains on the snow outside the gate.

"Hmm, hurry up, and then you drive a sled too; let's hit whatever we encounter." Wang An said.

Mu Xueli agreed straightforwardly and turned to go home.

I have to say, Mu Xueli is the most serious and attentive to the business of hunting in the mountains; the knife skills of skinning, unloading meat, and removing bones are not to mention, and have reached a height that ordinary people can hardly reach.

As for marksmanship, Mu Xueli is actually qualified, but with a sharpshooter like Wang An and a genius shooter like Wang Li joining, Mu Xueli's marksmanship seems a bit useless.

But this diligence of Mu Xueli is the most rare; after all, diligence can make up for clumsiness, and besides, marksmanship is something that can be practiced; as long as the bullets are sufficient, anyone can become a sharpshooter.

Besides, the three of Wang An are really not short of bullets.

Mu Xueli hitched up the sled, checked the equipment, and the three walked into the mountains. Because of the heavy snow and not entering the mountains for many days, the rabbit traps set before needed to be re-sorted.

Basically, all the traps, whether they caught rabbits or not, were almost buried by snow; besides digging out the rabbits caught before the snow from the snow, the traps that didn't catch anything had to be reset.

Plus Wang Li brought some new rabbit traps, and the three of them were busy for a while before re-sorting all the traps and clips.

Food is scarce in snowy days, and even rabbits and pheasants frozen in the snow were dug out and eaten by fierce beasts; there were even more traps that were dragged away along with the rabbits after breaking the branches.

But I have to say, when it's time for you to make a fortune, you can't stop it; a fox with snow-white fur didn't know how it got into the rabbit trap and was strangled to death by the wire.

Then Mu Xueli happily took it back.

The fur of the white fox is both soft and beautiful, and it faintly emits white light, making the three of Wang An stroke it for a long time.

The luckiest thing is that except for the wire being deeply strangled into the fox's neck, the fur on the body was undamaged.

In this era, the most valuable fox fur is white fox fur, because there is no one raising foxes in this era.

So white fox fur is very rare, and since ancient times, things are expensive because they are rare, so ordinary fox fur is 60 yuan a piece, while white fox fur directly doubles to 120 yuan a piece.

After counting the harvest, there were 72 complete rabbits, 30-plus half-rabbits that were still usable, only 7 complete pheasants, 9 stupid chickens, and 5 flying dragons.

A total of 40-plus traps were lost or dragged away, and 10-plus clips were also lost; fortunately, compared to the harvest, these losses were nothing at all.

The three went to the place where the sable clips were located, intending to dig out all the clips that could be dug out; unsurprisingly, there was no harvest in the first five places.

But when the three arrived at the last clip array, they found the hoof prints of three horses outside the circle of the clip array; the hoof prints were very new, and the direction they were walking was not the direction out of the mountains.

The three of Wang An looked left and right along the hoof prints and also found that these three people used branches to sweep away the traces of the hoof prints into the clip array, and also filled one of the clip pits with snow.

If the three of Wang An came tomorrow or in a few days, then after the blowing of the mountain wind, because of the sweeping of the branches, no traces would exist in the clip array.

This discovery made the three of Wang An very angry, because this was obviously a sable caught in the clip, but the sable was stolen!

"Damn it, these three bastards are quite shrewd!" Mu Xueli, who rarely cursed, couldn't help but explode.

In fact, it can be understood; these clips were all made by Mu Xueli one by one; you can imagine how long it took him to make these 200 wooden clips? How much energy did he spend?

How long did it take to finally have a harvest after setting the clips?

But the hard-won harvest was stolen!

This is something no one can bear, you must know that a sable skin has a minimum purchase price of 350 yuan at the supply and marketing cooperative, which is nearly 10 months' salary for a regular employee!

"Go, chase them." Wang An said gloomily, then turned and got on the sled.

Mu Xueli and Wang Li, upon hearing this, did the same.

"Giddy-up!"

"Giddy-up!"

"Giddy-up!"

With the three shouts of the three, the three drove the sleds and chased after the hoof prints.

In fact, Wang An wanted to ride a horse to chase, but when driving a sled, no one would put a saddle on a horse.

And if you ride a horse in the mountains without a saddle and stirrups, no one dares to accelerate; saying you will fall off the horse is absolutely not ambiguous.

Many relatives and big bosses said that the protagonist's daily life chapters these two days are very watery and boring to watch, so I changed the outline to reduce daily articles or summarize daily places as much as possible. In fact, this is a daily article about hunting in the mountains in the era article, but for those you don't like, I will try to write less or not write, hoping that relatives and big bosses will continue to support me, thank you!

The next chapter hasn't been written yet, it will be sent later, hope for understanding, thank you!
