Chapter 240: The Wolf and the Red Dog

The proliferation of mountain beasts is a disaster, whether for those who rely on the mountains for a living or for next year's spring plowing.

What is most worrying is that it would be truly f*cking awful if wolves and red dogs entered the settlement!

Thinking of this, Wang An's brow furrowed even deeper!

Because in Wang An's previous life, wolves and red dogs had indeed entered the settlement; he forgot which year it was, but since his family wasn't raising anything back then, there were no losses.

But things are different now; the whole yard is full of livestock. If the wolves come, his house will be the first target.

Although there are a few dogs at home, for a pack of wolves, these dogs are really of no use other than to serve as a warning.

However, this kind of thing is not something Wang An can prevent, so after thinking about it for a while, he stopped dwelling on it.

If they dare to come to his house, he'll just blast them with his gun; he doesn't give a f*ck about the rest. Thinking too much just ruins his mood.

Besides, with so many guns at home, whatever comes will just die, right?

After dinner, Wang An called his whole family together and told them his suspicion that wolves might enter the settlement.

Then he began teaching his family how to use the guns, both long and short, teaching them several times over.

Actually, it was mainly to teach Liu Liu Guilan and Wang Yi; the two little girls were out of the question, as they couldn't even lift them.

Perhaps the Wang An family are natural-born warriors, so following Wang Wang Dazhu and Mu Mu Xueqing, Liu Liu Guilan and Wang Yi also learned to disassemble and assemble the guns very quickly.

Of course, whether they can hit their targets is another matter entirely.

The next day after breakfast, Mu Mu Xueli and Wang Li came over.

Mu Mu Xueli brought a jar, and because Wang Li's home wasn't far from Wang An's, he just brought a basin; no matter what it was, it was used to hold the deer blood.

In order not to waste a single drop of deer blood, Wang Wang Dazhu, Wang An, Mu Mu Xueli, and Wang Li carried the large red deer to the big table outside the house.

Just like slaughtering a pig, they laid the deer flat, cut an opening at the neck, and used the large basin underneath to catch the deer blood.

After the blood was drained, they lifted the large basin to weigh it; it was a full 30 jin or more.

It must be said that for a 400-jin red deer, there is quite a lot of deer blood.

After draining the blood, they hurried to gut the deer, because they still needed to extract the most important deer heart blood.

Deer heart blood is actually the small amount of blood wrapped around the heart; there isn't much of it, but it is the most precious blood on the entire deer, so it is very valuable.

After Wang An took out the deer's heart, he cut it open directly and dripped the deer heart blood into the canned food jars he had prepared beforehand.

There is very little deer heart blood; even for a 400-jin red deer, it's only about 3 liang or a little more.

However, this deer heart blood can be used to soak 6 jin of liquor, meaning 50 or 60 grams of deer heart blood can soak 1000 grams of white liquor.

Of course, deer blood liquor cannot be done this way; deer blood liquor uses 1 jin of deer blood to soak 5 jin of white liquor, which is the optimal ratio.

So the three of them can each soak 100 jin of white liquor, and adding the weight of the deer blood, that's 110 jin of deer blood liquor each.

On the deer's body, except for the feces in the intestines and the urine in the bladder, there is nothing to throw away.

Therefore, Wang Wang Dazhu, Wang An, Mu Mu Xueli, and Wang Li worked for a while before they finished breaking down the entire large red deer.

Because Wang Wang Dazhu was there, Mu Mu Xueli was surprisingly quiet, but it was clear that the kid hadn't said much all morning and was holding it in quite uncomfortably.

Although everything on the deer could be sold for money, the three of them weren't short of cash, so they divided the whole deer among themselves.

However, things like the deer penis and deer tail were unique, so they went to Wang An. Wang An gave the more valuable deer spine, deer leg bones, and the deer heart to Mu Mu Xueli and Wang Li, keeping none for himself.

The deer meat was also roughly divided into three portions; although deer meat is also top-tier stuff, the three of them wouldn't haggle over such details. The main idea was that "close enough" was fine.

After eating a full deer feast at noon, Mu Mu Xueli and Wang Li took the deer meat, deer blood, and deer bones home.

Wang An, of course, wouldn't stay idle and once again busied himself with the great cause of soaking liquor.

He ran to Han Han Shuisheng's place, bought 100 jin of sorghum liquor, and then, following the 1-to-5 ratio, soaked 3 jars of deer blood liquor.

Deer blood liquor doesn't need to be soaked for a long time; usually, it can be drunk after soaking for one day and one night, 24 hours.

As for the effect, whoever drinks it knows!

Wang An looked at the ground and shelves against the north wall of the west room, which were full of various liquor jars, plus a pile of bear gallbladders hidden behind the curtain, and he sucked his teeth hard.

He secretly made up his mind that when he built the new house in the spring, he must build a few more rooms.

After finishing the liquor soaking, Wang An, having nothing to do, strolled over to the small shop.

First, he bought a pack of cigarettes at the shop, then Wang An stood next to the poker table.

After a while, Wang An sat down to play.

Actually, Wang An's main purpose in coming to the shop was to hear some news, preferably about where in the mountains there might be something valuable.

As for playing, Wang An couldn't muster the slightest interest; it was just to pass the time.

"Have you heard? A child in Yangshu Tuntun was snatched away by a wolf last night?" an old woman playing cards at the next table said mysteriously.

"Yeah, that child was already 5 years old, and that little girl was so bright and lively," another old woman sighed.

"If you ask me, it's because the adults were careless; I heard that child wasn't well-treated at home," one person said angrily.

"Yeah, how could they be so heartless? Even if life is hard, you can't feed a child to the wolves!" someone next to them chimed in.

Hearing this, Wang An was genuinely quite angry!

Whether in the city or the countryside, there is a general preference for boys over girls, but to watch a child be snatched away by a wolf, that's just a bit inhumane!

Perhaps the situation itself wasn't like that, but regardless, the fact that the child was snatched by a wolf is true.

Wang An now had an urge to go and beat that child's parents up, and then ask that pair of idiots: "Are you f*cking even human?"

But many things are just like this: you are clearly very angry, and you clearly want to turn things around and change them.

Yet in the end, you find that you can't exert any effort at all; you are completely powerless!

At this time, he heard someone else say: "I heard that this time, more than 40 wolves went to Yangshu Tuntun, and quite a few sheep, chickens, ducks, and geese were bitten to death."

"That's right, I heard several big fat pigs were driven away too."

"Then what are those militiamen doing? I heard a whole group of them only killed three wolves; they're not even as good as Old Yang Pao. Old Yang Pao blasted one to death and stabbed another to death."

"Who knows, a bunch of good-for-nothings."

"Heaven bless us, I hope the wolves don't come to our settlement!"

Wang An carefully recalled his previous life, but he really couldn't remember which year or which day the wolves and red dogs entered the settlement.

However, Wang An had a premonition that it should be a matter of these next two or three days.
