Chapter 538: The Stimulating Feeling of the Unknown

The reason they have to cut thick wooden poles is because Wang An discovers that although there are quite a few people in their group, when this big bear lies here, the group can't exert any strength at all.

In a short while, these four people return, each holding two or three thick wooden poles.

Immediately following, the group uses the thick wooden poles as levers and works together to flip this big bear over, which is to say, making the big bear lie face up.

However, after flipping the big bear over, no one continues to dig for gold; instead, they surround the big bear's corpse and watch with full expectation.

One can see that everyone is very interested in what kind of gall such a big bear will produce.

To tell the truth, Wang An is also very interested in the bear gall that is about to come out.

Because this stimulating feeling of the unknown is even more satisfying than waiting for a big prize in the past life.

However, Wang An always feels that for such a big bear, at the very least, it must produce an iron gall to be reasonable.

After all, among all the bears Wang An has hunted, this bear is already the biggest; if it doesn't produce an iron gall or a gold gall, it would be sorry for its big frame.

It is mainly sorry for the fright Wang An received!

Furthermore, Wang An discovered from all the bears he hunted that whether it is a brown bear or a black bear, only the older the bear, the slightly higher the probability of producing a gold gall.

Why is this, I don't know, but this probability truly exists.

And the big brown bear in front of him, its age is absolutely not low, because even a seven or eight-year-old brown bear can't grow to such a big size.

Wu Dong and Zhang Shuya and the other six don't know how to take the gall; Wang An's body hasn't completely recovered yet, so Seeing Mu Xueli, Wang Li, and Feng Chengmin, these three, very actively take on the job of taking the gall.

By comparison, Wang Li's proficiency in taking bear gall is still a bit worse than Seeing Mu Xueli's and Feng Chengmin's.

However, after such a long time of mountain-going and hunting, Wang Li's proficiency is probably not much different from Wang An's.

Soon, these three perfectly take out the big bear's gall.

But when this bear gall is taken out, it instantly makes the group gasp.

Almost everyone's mouth instantly utters the same sentence, and it is also an exclamation of the same tone, which is—"Oh my god"! Actually, these four words, although they sound a bit vulgar and will make many "refined people" feel very awkward, to tell the truth, these four words are not curse words locally, and they don't have any big meaning.

Normally speaking, when these four words are said, there are only two meanings.

The first kind is, the last word is read in the first tone, which is "the 'cao' of gymnastics"; this situation is an interrogative sentence, similar to "What's the situation?" "What's going on?" "Why am I confused?"

The second kind of situation is, the last word is read in the fourth tone, which is "cao"; this situation is an expression of surprise, similar to "Oh my god!" "So powerful!" "Too awesome!"

Therefore, many times when hearing these four words, don't feel that the person saying these four words has no education or quality because of regional differences; actually, they are just their habitual words.

Just like some people in the Bashu area habitually add the two words "Laozi" before speaking; actually, they are not trying to act like elders or belittle the other party, it is just a habitual way of speaking.

Of course, if one feels uncomfortable, one can remind the other party; if there are no accidents, the other party will definitely reduce or even stop saying "Oh my god" and "Laozi" in these two ways of speaking.

The reason the group lets out an exclamation is mainly because this bear gall is also too big, even a circle bigger than the invincible big iron gall that Wang An and Seeing Mu Xueli hunted last time! Feng Chengmin opens his fingers on both hands completely before barely holding it.

And most importantly, this bear gall is also a gold gall! One sees Feng Chengmin looking at the big gold gall in his hands and saying with a full smile: "This big gold gall is too good; it's bigger than the bear gall I hunted 3 years ago."

Hearing Feng Chengmin's words, Seeing Mu Xueli asks subconsciously: "Uncle, what kind of gall did the bear you hunted nine years ago produce?"

Almost everyone, even ordinary common people, is very interested in what kind of gall a bear, especially a big-sized bear, will produce.

Actually, taking bear gall is somewhat similar to gambling on stone, but the difference between taking bear gall and gambling on stone is that taking bear gall can make people feel confident in their hearts.

Because taking bear gall, at the very least, one can take out a grass gall; one must know that taking out a grass gall already exceeds the vast majority of people.

And if one takes out a gold gall, one can be worry-free for food and clothing for several years, becoming one of that small group of people in every village.

Feng Chengmin hears this and says casually: "That one was an iron gall, nearly half a jin, but the price was low then, and it only sold for 480 yuan."

One can hear that although that iron gall only sold for 480 yuan, Feng Chengmin is still very satisfied.

After all, it is the same at any time: if one earns more, the price is high; if one earns less, the price is also low.

Of course, Wang An's price before his rebirth cannot be included, because the price at that time was already out of proportion to the money earned.

Seeing Mu Xueli casually takes out a broken flour bag and puts this big gold gall into it, but Wang An looks at this broken flour bag and feels it looks familiar.

Because this broken flour bag once held the big iron gall that Wang An and Seeing Mu Xueli hunted together.

Feng Chengmin looks at this broken flour bag and is also a bit surprised; it is mainly because this flour bag is truly too broken, with a pile of patches on it, and two patches are clearly recently patched.

Consequently, Feng Chengmin asks very strangely:

"Xueli, you... are truly thrifty; haven't you earned money after following your brother-in-law for so long?"

One sees Seeing Mu Xueli say a bit shyly:

"This bag is the bag that held the big iron gall before my brother-in-law and I first went into the mountains; I feel that if I carry it, everything will turn into good fortune."

Seeing Mu Xueli's words make the group, including Wang An, all stunned.

A broken flour bag can turn into good fortune? What kind of saying is this? Feng Chengmin is stunned for a moment and then says with a smile:

"Is this thing so tough? Then I'll get one to carry tomorrow."

Feng Chengmin finishes speaking, and the group all laughs loudly.

Although they don't know what kind of psychology Seeing Mu Xueli has in carrying a broken flour bag in his pocket all day, Wang An feels that Seeing Mu Xueli's words are not lying.

After all, people are complex in thought; things you think should be thrown away are priceless treasures in others' eyes; this might also be a kind of faith or belief.

After taking the bear gall, Wang An, Feng Chengmin, Seeing Mu Xueli, and Wang Li, these four, stay behind to peel the skin and unload the meat, while Wu Dong and Zhang Shuya and the other six return to the Dianthus stalk patch to continue digging for gold.

Time is precious; earning money is the most important thing! (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 539 =====
