Chapter 50: Pretty Widow Shen Wei (Please follow, please recommend)

A two-headed black polecat is actually a steppe polecat.

The name "two-headed black" is used in many places, and in others, it's called a ground dog.

This thing has a black-gray nose tip and a black-gray tail tip!

Perhaps because of this feature, it's called a two-headed black!

The reason Wang An noticed it was because the fur on its back was brownish-yellow mixed with brownish-red; from a distance, it looked like a yellow-throated marten.

Yellow-throated martens are extremely ferocious, and their fur is smooth and soft, but it's not valuable, and nobody wants it! So hunters don't bother with them.

But this thing can hunt silly roe deer, small wild boars, and small deer! It dares to act cocky with horses and even dares to injure them.

Wang An had already picked up his gun, but when he got closer, he saw it wasn't one!

He saw this thing chasing a ground squirrel.

A ground squirrel, also called a yellow rat, looks a bit like a mouse, but it's not a mouse. Its eyes bulge out, and the tip of its tail is fluffy, just like a new calligraphy brush that hasn't touched water!

These two little things didn't look big, but they ran damn fast!

As the ground squirrel ran, it dived into an underground hole. The ground squirrel's hole was dug to be about the same thickness as the ground squirrel itself!

But the two-headed black was much bigger than the ground squirrel, about four or five times the size of a ground squirrel!

Yet, for such a narrow hole, it dived straight in after it!

After just over a minute, it came back out, but it came out backwards! And it had a ground squirrel in its mouth!

This two-headed black is just too damn magical!

Mainly because the hole was too narrow; does it know bone-shrinking techniques?

The more Wang An pondered this thing, the more he felt it was magical!

Ten minutes later, Wang An returned to his own courtyard.

He let out a shout toward the house!

Three adults plus Wang Yi came out of the house; the two little girls didn't come out, just leaned against the window and took a look.

It seemed the whole family was used to Wang An's wild antics, not caring about anything when he got home.

But this time, they all let out a chorus of gasps.

A black bear, with its four limbs stretched out, looked too big; it looked much bigger than a 300-plus-jin big boar!

Wang Dazhu directly stopped Wang An, who was leading the horse into the shed.

He asked: "This black bear, why did you drag it back by yourself? Didn't you leave half for your uncle?"

Wang An knew what his old man meant; it was nothing more than fearing he was too greedy and didn't know how to behave!

Wang An didn't care what his old man thought and answered directly: "I caught two! I dragged this one because it's the smaller one!"

Then, after settling the horse, he came out and told the whole story, except for the danger during the den raid!

After he finished, because Wang An had been hunting with Feng Chengmin, Mu Xueqing and Liu Guilan didn't doubt him; they were just puzzled but didn't say anything.

But Wang Dazhu's expression was grave. Many hunters had failed at raiding dens and been kicked by black bears. He wasn't sure who Wang An was with!

After a while, Wang Dazhu's expression softened again, as if he had figured it out.

Mountain trekking was never a good job! Besides, his son had already killed a mountain leopard, taken down a big boar, and this time he had even taken down a black bear!

Of the ferocious animals in the mountains, except for the big claws and wolves, he had dealt with them all! Just be a little careful, and nothing will happen! Wang Dazhu consoled himself this way!

The few of them didn't lift the black bear into the house; just like cleaning the 500-jin big boar a few days ago, they skinned the black bear right in the courtyard!

This black bear meat is very unique.

From the time it was killed until now, at least six or seven hours had passed!

Yet it hadn't frozen even a little bit!

In the Northeast right now, although it hadn't reached the truly freezing weather, it was still twenty-something degrees below zero in the middle of the day!

This black bear meat clearly ignored the temperature! Not only was it not frozen, it was even warm!

It seemed Feng Chengmin had known this would happen; he hadn't even stuffed snow into the black bear's gut.

Wang Dazhu first carried the jumping cats and wild chickens into the house to thaw, then came out and joined in!

Only Wang An didn't even look, focusing on getting close to the three big dogs!

These three dogs had become completely familiar with the family over the past two days! They were playful with everyone.

Plus, Wang An was generous with lard and meat when feeding the dogs!

These three dogs were clearly fatter than when they were bought, and their fur had become black and shiny!

Just then, the three dogs suddenly stopped playing and looked toward the gate together!

These three dogs were truly exceptionally sharp. As long as the masters were in the courtyard, even if it was just the two little girls.

If a stranger came, they would never bark wildly, just stare at the stranger!

Unless they couldn't hear the master's voice for a long time, they would bark "Wang Wang Wang" three times, and then, they would still just stare at the stranger.

Wang An followed the dogs' gaze and turned his head to look, discovering it was a woman, and a pretty woman at that!

Although she couldn't compare to Mu Xueqing's invincible beauty in the Northeast, she had a real charm, a feeling of naturally beautiful features!

Wang An had an impression of this woman; her name was Shen Wei, and she lived not far in front of Wang An's house, about two or three hundred meters away.

When the educated youth came to Kaoshan Village, during those special years, her parents had passed away, and she had a brother who had gone missing!

Then she settled down in Kaoshan Village. Now she was a widow, leading an old lady and a four-year-old little girl; the three of them lived together. One could imagine, in these times, with just these three, what their life must have been like!

In his past life, in the summer of '82, the year the land was just divided among households, this woman was gone!

To be precise, she committed suicide by jumping into the river, holding her six-year-old daughter as she jumped!

At the time, this incident caused a huge sensation near Kaoshan Village and had a massive impact!

And the security officers were busy with the mess in the county and that whole bunch of trashy people! They had no time to care about anything else!

They only arranged for two militiamen to handle it, but what could they do? They drank a round of liquor with Niu Qun and then hastily closed the case. The case result was determined as suicide!

But the villagers of Kaoshan Tun knew what was going on!

This matter, speaking of it, was extremely infuriating. The old lady in Shen Wei's family was her mother-in-law. Right now, she was already bedridden, and it seemed that next year, in the winter of '81, she would pass away!

Because there were no men in the family, the village handled the funeral.

And among the few people sent to handle the funeral, there was a man named Niu Dali, who was the nephew of the brigade secretary Niu Qun. This man looked average, but he was quite tall, perhaps slightly shorter than Wang An.

He stole chickens and dogs all day, did nothing proper, and loved to drink and gamble! His wife couldn't live with him anymore and hanged herself!

But fortunately, there were no children! After he was left alone, he became even worse; he was simply a scourge of Kaoshan Tun!

Niu Qun hadn't beaten him less, but it was useless after the beating!

Actually, helping to handle the old lady's funeral was considered a good job, because at this time, the land had just been divided, and work points hadn't been settled yet, so those who did this job were given full work points!

Seeing the old lady was gone, Niu Dali, who had long harbored evil intentions toward Shen Wei, wanted Shen Wei to live with him.

Shen Wei certainly wouldn't agree!
