Chapter 30
On the way, Wang An and Li Biao both calmed down, and that feeling of palpitation gradually disappeared!
Wang An said to Li Biao: "Biaozi, you know the rules of mountain hunting. Originally, I didn't want to follow the rules, but your performance..."
Before Wang An finished speaking, Li Biao blushed, seemingly very ashamed and angry! He hurriedly interrupted what Wang An was about to say and said:
"Brother Wang, I don't know what kind of madness I had today, maybe it's because my dad beat me yesterday!"
Forget it, he won't even let him speak! Then let's not talk! Everything should be done according to the rules! Even brothers should settle accounts clearly; there's nothing wrong with that!
Wang An said calmly: "Alright, let's not talk about this. How do you think we should divide these wild boars?"
Li Biao seemed quite generous and said: "Brother Wang, I came into the mountains with you, just the two of us, you say how to divide it, and we'll divide it that way!"
Wang An didn't take the hidden meaning in these words seriously: "Alright, then let's do it according to our mountain hunting rules, it saves trouble."
He calculated roughly in his heart: a total of about 1200 jin of boars and over 1200 jin of sows plus yellow-haired ones. Li Biao occupies two shares respectively.
That is 350 jin of boars and 350 jin of sows plus yellow-haired ones!
After calculating, Wang An said: "According to the rules, you get 350 jin of boars and 350 jin of sows plus yellow-haired ones, right?"
Li Biao also calculated and didn't decline at all: "Yeah, that's right!"
Wang An said: "You know how many jin these wild boars are. Then I'll give you one 350-jin boar, and then give you one sow, and then don't chop up the yellow-haired ones, I'll just give you a small yellow-haired one of 130 or 140 jin! Do you think that's okay?"
Li Biao thought for a while and then said: "How about I don't want that boar, and I'll take a large yellow-haired one instead!"
After hearing this, Wang An was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say! Originally, for the sake of brotherly love, he was going to give Li Biao an extra 70 or 80 jin of pork! He was actually playing tricks on him!
Boar meat tastes bad and isn't worth much; even a child knows that. He actually wanted to trade 350 jin of boar for 180 jin of yellow-haired pig...
Could it be that he misjudged this brother?
From today until now, whether it was on the way into the mountains, or when hunting wild boars, or now dividing the wild boars, it all makes people feel unbelievable!
Maybe when he is older, he will become enlightened and recall their brotherly feelings! In his past life, was that the only time he went to the prison to see him? After all, they were both in their 40s or nearly 50 then!
Thinking of this, Wang An pretended not to care and said: "No need, we hunted so many! I don't care about that little bit of pork! Let's divide it as I said!"
Neither of them spoke again and sped home! When they encountered pheasants or roe deer, neither of them paid any attention!
After arriving home, Wang An called out as usual, and then they unloaded the wild boars together. After unloading one sow and 3 yellow-haired ones (two large, one small),
Wang An drove the sled again to deliver one sow and one small yellow-haired one to Li Biao's house! Unsurprisingly, there was no one at Li Biao's house!
They threw the two pigs at the door of Li Biao's outer room, and the two of them returned to Wang An's house to have a hurried lunch.
At lunch, Wang An still wanted to talk to Li Biao and persuade him! But every time he was interrupted by Li Biao, and his words wouldn't get through!
Wang An gave up completely because it was unnecessary! Let nature take its course!
After lunch, Wang An and Li Biao went into the mountains again.
This time, Wang An switched to a mare to pull the sled. The stallion had run back and forth for nearly 100 li; another trip was absolutely impossible, it would hurt the horse too much!
Fortunately, there were two horses at home, otherwise he would have to wait until tomorrow to pull those three boars!
On the way back and forth, the two of them basically didn't say a few words!
When they got home, it was already past five or nearly six o'clock. At this time in the Northeast, the sky had already turned completely dark!
After delivering Li Biao's boars to Li Biao's house, Li Biao saw Wang An to the gate and said: "Brother Wang, when are we going into the mountains again?"
After this day, Wang An felt that from the moment he entered the mountains, everything had been awkward!
As soon as Li Biao said this, this feeling of awkwardness finally found its root!!
I don't know how other hunters partner up for mountain hunting!
In his view, it's nothing more than what those hunters often discuss!
People and hearts, horses and saddles! Work together to hunt prey, and everyone happily divides the prey! That's all!
But when it comes to him, where exactly did the problem arise? The root is in Li Biao; Li Biao himself is the problem!
At least for him, Li Biao is a problem!
Recalling the past, from childhood to adulthood, the two of them played together!
Too many things, clearly he was the one who was right, but he was never willing to listen to him! Even if he was wrong, he would neither admit it nor apologize!
Most of the time, it was only when there was no other way that he would listen to him! When he listened to him and things were done right, he also took it for granted!
When they were in school, among their group of mischievous classmates, he was the least popular, and he always ignored what he said! He did whatever he wanted!
And he treated him as a brother and always tolerated him! When he caused trouble, he always found ways to deal with it! He also didn't take his mistakes seriously, and then it would be the same next time!
Just like hunting today, he wouldn't have the slightest reflection; he felt that everything was taken for granted, and he was also righteous!
Because he and he had always been getting along like this before!!
And he himself now, because he was reborn, the whole person has changed!
He would never continue that way of getting along anymore! He also didn't have the mood and thoughts to keep tolerating him!
Therefore, what Li Biao felt was taken for granted, he felt even more awkward hearing it!
In his previous life, every time he went to the prison to see him, he would chatter about things from when they were young, various memories, various reflections!
It must be that when he recalled his own youth, he discovered how poor his own actions were! He discovered how big the problems were with himself!
He concluded that he and he were definitely incompatible! He had always been suppressing him!
However, wouldn't it be better to just separate like this and play by himself?
Having finally lived a new life, it's impossible to wrong himself!
Wouldn't it be better for me to be happy? Do I have to be pitted to death by you?
Thinking of this, Wang An didn't indulge him at all and said directly: "Biaozi, we've been brothers for a while! How are you embarrassed to talk about next time? Have I not been pitted enough?"
Hearing this, Li Biao actually said with a grin: "Brother Wang, it's so awesome to follow you into the mountains! These wild boars, we hunted so many! How good!"
Wang An saw through Li Biao, so he wasn't angry and said: "The key is, what's the use of bringing you? You attract disaster! You invite trouble! You cause destruction!"
Li Biao didn't seem to hear what he meant and continued to say with a grin: "Isn't there you, Brother Wang! Just bring me along!"
Wang An said disdainfully: "Forget it, I don't owe you anything! Can't I hunt by myself?"
Li Biao seemed to finally hear that Wang An didn't want to bother with him, and he wasn't grinning anymore; he seemed a bit unhappy!
He seemed to be pulling a long face, but Wang An couldn't see it in the dark, and just heard Li Biao say: "We've been brothers since we were kids! Is this how you act as a brother?"
Oh, damn! This is exposing his true nature; he wanted to save him some face, but he couldn't!
Although Li Biao didn't matter to Wang An anymore, these words still made Wang An very unhappy, and he said in a very heavy tone:
"To be brothers, you need to have face! If you don't even want your face, what's the use of being brothers? To tell you the truth, someone like you is not even worth a dog's shit!"
After speaking, Wang An didn't bother with Li Biao anymore, led the horse, and went home in the dark!

(Regarding the comments from the old iron, Santu will explain: novels originate from life, and this kind of period literature is even more so. In fact, many things seem unbelievable, but they are indeed true, but they were exaggerated by me. If I don't exaggerate, it's not interesting! I wrote a lot, but it was censored! Sigh! My purpose in writing novels is just to hope that someone will read them!! Thank you for the comments and guidance from the old iron, thank you all!)
One sentence of explanation,
I have been writing seriously all along.
There is no padding, there is no padding!
It's hard enough for this book to get listed, why would I pad it!!
By the way, if you have votes, throw some, thank you! I salute you!!
