Chapter 586: Preparations Before Leaving

~7 min read 1,343 words

After returning to the campsite, the group, who didn't want to stay here for a moment, packed their things and planned to leave.

It's just that the road is long, and it's absolutely impossible without dry food.

So after the group packed their things, they started to mix flour and make pancakes; as for the rice that the group didn't finish after entering the mountains, it was all fed to the horses.

There's no way, even if the Oroqen horses have great endurance, if they have to carry people or carry gold for a long distance, they must eat enough food.

Relying only on eating grass, no matter what livestock it is, the endurance will not be enough.

Of course, salt must not be less at all, because livestock, like people, have no strength without salt.

Therefore, the remaining salt particles were also fed to the horses by the group.

In fact, the remaining rice and salt, even if not fed to the horses, couldn't be taken back, and all had to be thrown away.

Because there was a lot of gold, and there were many things, and the guns harvested were a pile.

Of course, many guns were destroyed by the group's bullets, so the group only picked the good guns to take.

But even so, besides 4 Type 56 assault rifles and 11 Type 56 semi-automatics, just counting the weight of these guns, it was a full 100-plus jin.

Although when Zhang Shuya captured Da Yan yesterday, Wang Shuai brought Da Yan's horse back, the group just had one more horse to carry things.

If all these things relied on horses to carry, then the group had to lead the horses and walk out of the mountains.

If walking such a long distance, it would take at least seven or eight days to possibly return home.

So, after thinking slightly, Wang An threw away all the worthless things without hesitation.

Tools like iron shovels, axes, pickaxes, etc., as well as pots, bowls, ladles, and kitchen knives, were all discarded.

As for the three tents, although they were valuable, they were heavy and took up space, so they were discarded even more.

Besides, for Wu Dong and Wang Shuai, they could get these things in minutes, which was not a problem at all.

Looking at the tools that couldn't be taken away and the three tents that weren't broken at all, Feng Chengmin's heart ached.

Sighing, Feng Chengmin couldn't bear to look at these things anymore.

It must be said that for a farmer who had been frugal for more than 30 years, this way of throwing things away was simply unimaginable.

To tell the truth, the group also felt sorry; although it didn't cost much money to set up these things, people in this era were all like this, as if throwing things away was a sin, a thing that heaven couldn't tolerate.

There were many people, so they ate a lot, so the number of pancakes needed was large, so the only large iron pot never had a moment of rest, and the sound of the shovel making pancakes was "clanging" non-stop.

And those who didn't make pancakes very actively went to roast horse meat and smoked meat; dried meat is the best dry food no matter when.

Just when everyone was busy, the broken-tailed fox led its wife over.

I don't know where the two foxes hid in the middle of the night.

Looking at a group of horses being led back, and the things that needed to be taken away were placed in large and small bags outside the tent, the broken-tailed fox seemed to understand something.

It must be said that in these ten-plus days, the life of this pair of foxes was truly quite comfortable.

You must know that animals deep in these mountains spend their daily lives looking for food, or on the way to find food.

And in these ten-plus days, the broken-tailed fox couple didn't have to worry about food; they could eat directly when the time came. This was an object of envy for how many animals! Wang An looked at the two foxes, and while throwing a piece of raw meat to each of the two foxes, he subconsciously said to the broken-tailed fox: "Buddy, what have you considered? We'll be leaving in a while, are you coming with us?"

To tell the truth, Wang An really wanted to take the broken-tailed fox away; mainly because the fox's intelligence was too high, absolutely a very good helper. Wang An didn't care about this taboo or that taboo; as long as the fox dared to follow Wang An, Wang An would raise it.

The lynx had been raised, and the wolf had been raised; raising a fox didn't seem to be a big deal.

Hearing Wang An talking to the fox, the group also looked here, clearly, the group was also curious about what reaction this broken-tailed fox would have.

But after the broken-tailed fox heard Wang An's words, it just glanced at Wang An lightly and picked up the raw meat on the ground to eat.

That is to say, Wang An's words were ignored by the fox!

Seeing this scene, although Wang An was used to it, the group was stunned, and then they all couldn't help but burst into laughter.

For laughing at Wang An, the group was very keen; as long as there was a chance, the group would launch a collective siege on Wang An.

The reason was that Wang An was too able to show off.

And for the laughter of the group, the two foxes were also deaf to it, focusing on eating the meat on the ground.

Sun Nian, who had been depressed because of educating Wang An to make him enterprising, said with a smile:

"This fox is smart, knowing that some people are unreliable, so it doesn't pay attention to some people, hahaha..."

Speaking to the end, Sun Nian even laughed loudly. But it must be admitted that this woman Sun Nian, every smile and frown was truly quite energetic; in the local dialect, it was "quite energetic."

For the jokes of the group and Sun Nian's sarcasm, Wang An didn't care; anyway, you can say whatever you want, I'll do whatever I do.

Wang An just didn't raise his head, and continued to complain to the broken-tailed fox:

"I tell you, buddy, after this, I won't come to this place anymore. If you want to see me again, you have to go to the Kao Shan Village, Xing'an Township, DJ County to find me."

After Wang An finished speaking, the broken-tailed fox still had no reaction. Wang Shuai couldn't help but say with a smile:

"Why did you start reporting your home? And reporting your home to a fox, you are truly a bit possessed."

Wu Dong also said with a smile:

"What's wrong, Xiao An, you wouldn't really think this fox can understand what you're saying, would you?"

Zhang Shuya said unhappily:

"Godly and ghostly all day, no proper behavior."

After Zhang Shuya finished speaking, the group started a round of output to Wang An one after another.

But Wang An didn't even raise his head, instead complaining to the broken-tailed fox with a smile:

"Look, buddy, because you don't pay attention to me, I've suffered so much gossip..."

After the fox couple finished eating, they left here and returned to their nest. And the group's pancakes and roasted dried meat were all finished. Just when the group was tying gold and other items on the horse's back, the broken-tailed fox actually came again, with something in its mouth.

Seeing the broken-tailed fox, Wang An was instantly happy, thinking that the broken-tailed fox had figured it out and intended to leave with him.

But the broken-tailed fox put the thing in its mouth into Wang An's hand, and then touched this thing with its nose, looked at Wang An, and turned and left.
