Chapter 269: Getting Close to the Deer

Wang An looked at his watch, and it wasn't even 6:30. Every time, the three of them could only move after 7 o'clock.

Actually, whether it was 6:30 or 7 o'clock, the sky was pitch black, although one could see things, it wasn't very clear.

This time period, maybe it's called dawn? Or maybe it's called daybreak? It's not very clear.

In the Northeast in winter, the days are very short and the nights are very long.

Normally, the sky will gradually brighten after 7:30 in the morning, and the sun will very reluctantly reveal its large head around 8:30.

And this time period, although the sun is out, the temperature is not high at all; on the contrary, the temperature will be even lower, which is damn cold.

So at this time, the sun's role, besides lighting up, can be said to be of no use at all.

However, if it were summer, the days in the Northeast would become very long. Normally, the sun would appear at three or four o'clock, and in the evening, the sun would set around eight o'clock.

In a thousand words, the Northeast is a relatively magical place, whether it is the duration of day and night or the temperature difference, it is always playing extremes.

After waiting for a while, the bored Wang An filled a handful of corn and drilled into the sheep pen.

Deer as an animal, saying it is a spirit beast, is also because it can clearly feel the good and evil of surrounding things.

After walking into the sheep pen, Wang An was surprised to discover that today's silly roe deer had actually mixed with the deer.

Usually, this silly roe deer would crowd with the sheep herd, but now crowding with the deer, it didn't have a shred of disharmony.

Maybe it is confused now, because it really can't figure out whether it is a sheep or a deer.

Wang An's approach, the yellow sheep did whatever they were doing, without any reaction, but it made a group of deer panic and dodge left and right.

However, there was still one weirdo, and that was the silly roe deer.

One could see the silly roe deer discovering Wang An, and immediately arched up cheekily.

It also made a "baa-baa" sheep call, rubbing against Wang An with its head while sniffing Wang An's hand with its nose. Not only was it not afraid at all, but it also seemed quite happy.

Wang An touched the silly roe deer's head and fed it a handful of corn kernels, and this silly roe deer became even more intimate.

It was just that Wang An entered the sheep pen to get close to the deer, because he had to draw blood from the deer frequently in the future, so he had to win the deer's trust.

Otherwise, every time he drew blood, the deer would be frightened once, and such deer would definitely not live long.

Wang An didn't want these auspicious signs, or rather "endless big unity" (money), to die in fright like that.

So, Wang An had no time to keep dealing with the silly roe deer, which led to a particularly funny scene in the sheep pen.

The deer ran in circles in front, Wang An chased in circles slowly holding corn kernels, while the silly roe deer chased Wang An and bumped Wang An with its little head from time to time.

Every time Wang An pushed the silly ro

Wang An was so annoyed he couldn't stand it, so he said to the silly roe deer: "Can you stay away from me? Huh? I'm annoyed by you, do you know that?"

However, the silly roe deer couldn't understand what Wang An was saying, so it just had an attitude of "say whatever you want, I'll do whatever I want."

It would still nudge him as it pleased, and rub against him as it pleased, which angered Wang An so much that he stopped paying attention to the silly roe deer.

Finally, after a few laps, a small deer could not resist the temptation of the corn kernels and tentatively sniffed toward Wang An's hand.

A deer's nose and ears are quite formidable existences; although the corn kernels themselves didn't have much of a scent, in the deer's sense of smell, it had actually long since smelled the corn kernels on Wang An.

Wang An carefully fed the small deer the corn kernels, fearing he might scare it away.

After a while, as there is a first there is a second, the other two small deer also gathered around and began eating the corn kernels.

However, the three large female deer never approached, and occasionally called out a few times, seemingly summoning the small deer to stay away from Wang An, but the small deer were eating so happily that they didn't pay any attention. After feeding the corn kernels, the three small deer were no longer very afraid of Wang An, and occasionally even learned from the silly roe deer and nudged Wang An.

Wang An looked at the three female deer and then turned to exit the sheep pen; this is a gradual process, and being anxious is useless.

After all, deer as an animal are spirit beasts by nature; if it trusts you, then everything is fine, but if it cannot feel your goodwill, it will always stay far away from you.

Coming out of the sheep pen, Wang An harnessed the big stallion to the sled.

While hitching the big stallion, Wang An looked at the 3 horses, 1 mule, and 2 donkeys in the stable and couldn't help but frown.

Too many mules, horses, and donkeys are being raised; besides wasting fodder, they aren't actually of much use.

So Wang An said to Liu Guilan, who was feeding the pigs: "Mom, you discuss it with Dad; besides these two date-red horses, see if we should sell the donkey or the mule or the white horse or something. Raising this many isn't of much use, right?"

Liu Guilan rolled her eyes at Wang An upon hearing this and said: "Not selling. Isn't raising anything the same? Even if you sold them all, how much money would that be? You don't understand anything."

Wang An blinked and said: "Can our family even use this many livestock?"

Liu Guilan said in a low voice: "Your Sister Shen Wei wants to buy a donkey, and Xueqing said to just give it to her directly. My thought is also to just give her one; you say she does quite a bit of work for our family, what is your opinion, Xiao An?"

When Wang An heard this, he was instantly a bit speechless; did he have to be consulted for even this little matter?

However, Wang An was definitely not going to make the decision.

So Wang An said with a grin: "Mom, you are the head of our household, you have the final say, no need to ask me, hehehe."

Liu Guilan rolled her eyes at Wang An and said: "I knew asking you would be a waste of effort."

Just as Liu Guilan finished speaking, she saw Seeing Mu Xueli and Wang Li arriving on sleds at the same time.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two tied their sleds into a line, and then the two sat on Wang An's sled and headed into the mountains.

On the way, the three lit cigarettes and started their mode of bragging and talking nonsense.

Seeing Mu Xueli suddenly said: "Brother-in-law, it's still most enjoyable when the three of us are chatting together; driving a sled alone is lonely and boring, it's really no fun."

Wang Li also took a puff and said: "Yeah, every time I go home I feel it's really fast, but I felt that trip home yesterday was truly dragging; no matter what, I couldn't reach home."

After hearing this, Seeing Mu Xueli said directly: "Couldn't reach home? Fifth brother, did you see something unclean? You wait until we go back, I'll find a shaman for you to break the curse."

After hearing this, Wang Li was genuinely stunned, and after reacting, he immediately said:

"Brother Mu, I was following behind you the whole way yesterday, looking at the back of your head the entire time. Is your head unclean? Or should I wash it for you with snow first?"

Seeing Mu Xueli asked with a face full of curiosity: "My head isn't the priority, you tell me, after we parted yesterday, how long did you drag on? How did you find your way home later?"

Wang Li sighed and said: "That was because I looked at the back of your head for too long, I felt like I was possessed, and then I took a leak of the virgin urine I'd been holding for 17 years right at the back of your head..."

Wang An listened to the two's conversation and immediately laughed out loud; these two are getting better and better at talking nonsense.

And they say anything, completely unbridled, whether it's this spirit or that evil, they don't avoid anything.

But there's nothing wrong with that; they are young, their vitality is high, they have to be afraid of nothing.

The three chatted and laughed all the way and soon arrived at today's first harvest spot.

After a flurry of work, 62 rabbits, 9 pheasants, 16 roe deer, and 6 hazel grouse were all thrown onto the sled.

The three went to check on the sable trap array, but only two remained in the sable trap array, and there was no harvest.

Then Wang An drove the sled straight toward today's destination, Roe Deer Gully.
