Chapter 276: Second Only to the Bitterness of Life

Wang An squinted his eyes and glanced at Seeing Mu Xueli, shouting at his brother-in-law with great disdain:

"Look at your pathetic state. You didn't die, so what are you afraid of?"

Seeing Mu Xueli, whose face was originally twisted, was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

They heard Wang An continue to shout: "You were the one who finished them off, not them who finished you off. F*ck, you useless piece of trash!"

After Wang An finished speaking, he turned his face away and pinched his own thigh hard, because Wang An had to hold back his laughter.

In his past life, Wang An had read many miscellaneous magazines, one of which had mentioned the matter of "shifting thinking."

To put it plainly, it means thinking about problems from a different angle.

That is, after something happens, only think about the good side, don't think about the bad side.

However, after Wang An finished saying this, not only was Seeing Mu Xueli dumbfounded, but Wang Li also fell into confusion.

After Wang An held back his laughter, he turned back and said with a straight face to Seeing Mu Xueli and Wang Li:

"You two think about it: if they had killed you two, what would happen? What would your father and your mother do?"

Wang An looked at their faces and continued to bluff: "You two didn't die; that's a stroke of luck, you know?"

The two blinked their eyes, finally no longer panicked, no longer trembling, and revealed a thoughtful expression.

Actually, the reason Wang An's words worked was, on one hand, that what Wang An said was indeed reasonable.

On the other hand, it was also because Seeing Mu Xueli and Wang Li were at this moment in a state of being lost, with their brains full of the inability to think.

Because their brains were full of the thought: "I killed someone! What should I do?"

And the two had always listened to Wang An's words and taken Wang An as their reliance, so when Wang An asked the two to fire and kill, Wang Li pulled the trigger without hesitation.

And Seeing Mu Xueli, even though he was very scared, also closed his eyes and completed what Wang An had ordered.

Many people are like this; when facing someone they trust, even if what they say is wrong, they will think it is right.

After a good while, Wang An looked at their slightly sallow faces and suddenly thought of the leopard gallbladder in his pocket.

He took the leopard gallbladder out of his pocket, untied the hemp rope on it, and walked up to the two.

Wang An said sternly: "You two open your mouths. No one is allowed to spit it out. Whoever spits it out, I'll kick them."

Then, Wang An used his left hand to pinch the mouth of the leopard gallbladder and his right hand to support the bottom, squirting a lot of leopard gallbladder bile into the mouths of Seeing Mu Xueli and Wang Li.

Gallbladder bile is something that those who haven't tasted it absolutely don't know just how bitter it is!

Many people say life is the most bitter, even more bitter than Coptis chinensis!

But in reality, even not counting life, Coptis chinensis is not the most bitter; at the very least, "Gentiana" is more bitter than Coptis chinensis, and the bitterness of "Akebia" is also not inferior to Coptis chinensis.

You have to know that Gentiana only has the word "gall" in it, and it is already more bitter than Coptis chinensis.

And gallbladder bile is gall, and it is also a single existence, yet it is even more bitter than Gentiana.

Therefore, the bitterness of gallbladder bile is actually second only to life.

Actually, the main function of gallbladder bile is to digest fat, which means that if you want to absorb the energy of meat, you must use gallbladder bile.

This also explains why the gallbladder bile of carnivores is definitely much more bitter than the gallbladder bile of herbivores.

After Wang An squirted quite a bit of leopard gallbladder bile into Seeing Mu Xueli and Wang Li's mouths, their facial features instantly twisted, and they were seriously baring their teeth and grimacing from the bitterness.

When people are bitter to the extreme, they can't speak, just like when people are sour to the extreme or spicy to the extreme; it is actually exactly the same.

It's not because of other reasons, but because their mouths aren't working well. Wang An looked at their expressions and could no longer hold back his laughter. "Ga-ga-ga-ga..." like a duck's laughter echoed in the mountains.

By the time Wang An was laughing until he was leaning back and forth and tears were squeezed out, Seeing Mu Xueli and Wang Li finally eased up a bit.

The two kept changing their mouths into various shapes, hoping that their mouths would recover soon.

Actually, the reason Wang An fed the two leopard gallbladder bile was that Wang An discovered that at this moment, the two were feeling a bit overly shocked.

What's important is that the act of killing is, for honest people, or rather for people who haven't killed anyone, easier to cause nightmares than being shocked.

And it will make people lose energy and be unable to concentrate. In the final analysis, it's just that their guts are too small.

So Wang An feeding these two gallbladder bile, the most primitive purpose, was still for their own good; after all, leopard gallbladder is very effective in treating shock.

One has to say, being bitter to the extreme really can make people temporarily forget all other positive and negative emotions.

They heard Seeing Mu Xueli say with a thick tongue: "Brother-in-law, why is this thing so bitter?"

Wang An heard Seeing Mu Xueli's changed tone and couldn't help but laugh again.

After Wang An had laughed enough, he took out two pieces from his pocket and handed them to the two, saying to them:

"Alright, you're such big men, and you can't even stand this little bit of bitterness? You're nothing."

After Wang An finished speaking, he carried his hunting knife and went to bleed the 4 horses one by one. This was all meat, and good meat at that; it definitely couldn't be thrown away.

By the time Wang An finished bleeding the second horse, Seeing Mu Xueli and Wang Li also took out their hunting knives and walked to the remaining two horses, stabbing their knives into the necks of the two horses.

After Wang An finished bleeding, he walked to the front of these 4 corpses and began the routine operation, which was searching the pockets of the dead.

However, Wang An didn't put the money and tickets he took out into his own pockets, but put them all together and pressed them onto the snowy ground with a double-barrel shotgun.

Then Wang An said to Seeing Mu Xueli and Wang Li: "You two gather those furs together; let's see how many things there are in total."

The three of them acted together and quickly gathered all the valuable things together.

One has to say, "killing and arson lead to golden belts," "a person won't get rich without windfall, a horse won't get fat without night grass"—these are definitely absolute pearls of wisdom.

Regardless of how these 4 people obtained these things, the quantity was seriously not small.

4 brand-new double-barrel shotguns, 4 hunting knives commonly used by locals—the knives were very old and obviously had been around for some years.

2 sable furs, 7 fox furs, 4 wolf furs, 11 yellow weasel furs, 32 squirrel furs.

In the 4 cloth pockets, there were 6 bear gallbladders in total, including 2 gold gallbladders, 1 iron gallbladder, and 3 grass gallbladders.

Some of the furs and bear gallbladders hadn't been dried yet and were in a semi-dried state that couldn't be sold.

Besides these, in the pockets of these four people, there were also some grain coupons and money. There were only 40-something jin of coarse grain coupons and 10-something jin of fine grain coupons.

And the money of the 4 people added together was only 180-something yuan, and most of it was f*cking small change.

4 fierce bandits having only this little money and coupons was obviously very abnormal.

So, 6 cloth pockets that were the same as the ones holding the bear gallbladders caught Wang An's attention.

At first, Wang An thought it was some dry rations, but after opening them, the three of them were instantly dumbfounded.
