Chapter 549

It must be said that for a team of ten people, if internal strife arises due to the uneven distribution of benefits, the consequences are absolutely very serious.

Because conflict is something that usually grows from small to large. If it isn't handled well at the beginning, it will become a huge disaster, and the consequences caused will be unpredictable.

And such a huge internal team conflict being so easily resolved by Wang An is actually thanks to Wang An possessing the soul of a 60-plus-year-old.

After all, the experience and mentality of an elderly person, as well as the ways and methods of handling problems, are absolutely completely different compared to young people.

Especially in handling problems, being able to see the pros and cons at a glance and instantly think of a good solution is what is extremely important.

Under Wang An's banter, the atmosphere among the group quickly became much more harmonious.

By the time they ate lunch, the previous tense atmosphere could no longer be seen at all. Although it was a bit awkward, the eating and drinking were very lively.

After all, setting aside the dog-head gold Wang An harvested, in the whole of Huaxia, everyone's harvest could already be considered unique.

People are just like this; when they think things through and their thoughts become clear, they won't drill into a dead end and not be able to come out.

No matter what, Wang An bringing everyone to pan for gold and get rich is a favor, and not bringing everyone is his duty. Therefore, there is not a single mistake on Wang An's part.

And regarding the promise to the tail-less fox, Wang An didn't slack off at all, including the tail-less fox's wife, that is, the red fox, who was also allowed to eat her fill of the big bear meat directly.

It could be seen that the tail-less fox might have just eaten his fill, but the red fox had eaten until her belly was round, and the amount of meat she ate was almost twice that of the tail-less fox.

Finally, there was a piece of meat left, which was also carried away by the red fox.

Taking the opportunity to talk about the red fox "eating and taking," or that she "knows how to live," everyone expressed their own views one after another. In the heated discussion, the last trace of embarrassment on everyone's face was finally completely eliminated.

And Wang An, watching this scene, finally let out a long sigh of relief!

The power of this dog-head gold is truly too great; even a group of shrewd second-generation youths had their minds so easily clouded.

It must be said that "people die for wealth since ancient times, and it's no surprise that birds die for food"!

After lunch, everyone tidied up a bit and then stood up one after another to walk toward the stone bamboo land, while Wang An also led the tail-less fox and continued to wander around.

It might be that the tail-less fox really couldn't remember where there was any more dog-head gold, or it might be that the tail-less fox wanted to eat meat every meal in a sustainable way.

Anyway, an afternoon passed, and the tail-less fox didn't take the initiative to lead Wang An to look for dog-head gold again.

And Wang An not only didn't find a fifth piece of dog-head gold, but he also didn't find the location of the gold mine.

Therefore, for this whole afternoon, this one person and one fox could be considered to have harvested absolutely nothing.

On the way back, because Wang An had harvested nothing, the more he thought about it, the more he felt it wasn't right.

And so, Wang An said to the tail-less fox with a face full of complaints and threats:

"I'm telling you, little fox, tomorrow I want to see dog-head gold, you know? Otherwise, starting tomorrow, you can go find someone else to mooch meals from."

It must be said that Wang An's speed of changing his face is absolutely faster than a dog's. The tail-less fox had just helped Wang An find a piece of dog-head gold of considerable value in the morning, and by the afternoon, Wang An was already unsatisfied.

Fortunately, Wang An was just talking; it was mainly because Wang An discovered that this tail-less fox was too cunning. If he didn't pressure it, it would never be able to distinguish who was the boss.

However, after Wang An finished speaking, the tail-less fox didn't even look at Wang An, still walking in front of Wang An on its own, as if it hadn't heard Wang An's words at all. The tail-less fox being so disrespectful made Wang An suddenly a bit angry.

Wang An took two quick steps, grabbed the fur on the back of the tail-less fox's neck, and lifted the tail-less fox up directly.

Immediately after, Wang An looked at the tail-less fox's eyes and, like a lunatic, said to the tail-less fox:

"I'm talking to you, damn it, did you hear me? Huh?"

The tail-less fox was suddenly lifted into the air, but it didn't make a sound, as if it had accepted its fate, drooping its head and not looking at Wang An at all.

Seeing this, Wang An tucked the iron shovel handle under his armpit, used his free hand to pinch the tail-less fox's face, and said:

"You doing this makes me lose face, you know? Come on, give your master a smile."

The tail-less fox actually turned its eyes elsewhere, not even making eye contact with Wang An.

Wang An suddenly realized that this tail-less fox also had its own thinking and pride.

And him doing this was actually no different from forcing someone into prostitution, or taking advantage of a crisis.

Although it was only a fox, it had truly proven itself now, and he should give it the respect it deserved.

Thinking of this, Wang An rubbed the tail-less fox's face and then said with a face full of smiles:

"Buddy, I'm sorry, let me apologize to you, don't take it to heart."

As he spoke, Wang An wanted to put the tail-less fox on the ground.

It was just that when Wang An noticed the tail-less fox's eyes, his whole expression instantly froze.

Because Wang An clearly saw cunning and deceit in the tail-less fox's eyes, and a trace of a smile miraculously appeared on the tail-less fox's face.

What does this prove? This proves that this fox actually understood the meaning of his words.

And the reason it didn't respond to him all along might just be because it didn't want to respond, or it didn't like his way of communicating with it.

Thinking of this, Wang An put the tail-less fox back on the ground while carefully recalling the research and introductions about foxes he had heard in the "Animal World" when he was at the fence in his past life.

After recalling, the way Wang An looked at the tail-less fox changed.

Because Wang An recalled that "Animal World" said that foxes, as an animal, are the most intelligent existence among all canine animals.

That is to say, this thing is even smarter than a dog!

Then doesn't that mean that this thing can actually be even more human-like than a dog?

Carrying this question, Wang An and the tail-less fox returned to the camp. Of course, when passing by that pile of stones, the tail-less fox didn't forget to call its wife along.

It could be seen that this tail-less fox had completely stopped treating itself as an outsider fox, and mooching meals from Wang An had also become a matter of course.

When Wang An arrived at the camp, the others hadn't returned yet. After giving the two foxes two pieces of meat to send them away, Wang An began to build a fire and cook.
