Chapter 63

Looking at the Type 54 in his hand, his thoughts drifted. He realized he had been reborn for a while now, and it seemed like Heaven hadn't given him anything serious to do!

Either bandits were begging him to kill them, or they were tired of living and wanted to die!

Anyway, he didn't know what was going on; clearly, he wasn't a good person, but everything he did was for the benefit of the people!

And he had made himself look like a lunatic, carrying a gun on him every day!

His thoughts drifted to Mu Xueqing and Shen Wei—one was the "her" in his heart forever, and the other was a regret he couldn't help in his past life!

To put it bluntly, it was all about lust! Otherwise, there were several young widows in the village; why was only the seductive Shen Wei a regret?

Facing himself, there was no other reason—it was just because he craved her body!

Today, facing life and death against the wolf pack, although he fought with surging blood and luckily didn't lose his life,

it made Wang An think again about his life's motto: "Free and easy, happy until death"!

You only live a few decades, so you have to enjoy the pleasures of life and absolutely must not leave regrets. Mu Xueqing was already his wife, so he must cherish her well!

And Shen Wei, he had already obtained her, and she had offered herself; no matter how he thought about it, he shouldn't let her go!

It was something she couldn't get enough of, and he enjoyed it; if he gave it up, wouldn't life be missing a great happiness!

And with his calculations and means, she wouldn't dare to resist and would only obey obediently. As long as he let her live well, that was a good thing!

As for the promise he made to Mu Xueqing regarding Shen Wei, for someone who spent the first half of his past life in the underworld and the second half in prison, he was cold-blooded, selfish, and had poor character—only such people were truly "people"!

So, what did it matter what he had said or promised?

Men are men!

His eyes shifted to the wolf carcasses, which made Wang An think of what his mother had said that day: "If they dare to act up, just blast them!"

Liu Guilan's words were truly flawless; just look at these wolf carcasses.

If they dare to act up, just ask if a bullet can kill them, and that's it!

Carrying this pistol at all times, although a bit crazy, was truly better safe than sorry! Otherwise, today would have been really close, and he might have wasted this rebirth!

After the two recovered, they didn't dare to take off their clothes to check their wounds. In this freezing cold weather, the nighttime temperature was at least below minus 30 degrees.

They brought back the stallion that had run quite far and tied it to a bush. The fodder was gone, so they let it gnaw on some tender buds!

As for the wolf carcasses and what was left of the wild boar eaten by the wolves, the two were too lazy to even look—they were too tired, and anyway, they wouldn't go anywhere!

They immediately gathered firewood and built two large fires, sitting back-to-back watching the fire; it was neither cold nor unsafe!

The four dogs had torn the wolves apart quite badly; it was estimated that there wasn't much left of the wolves, and the two had no interest in looking anyway!

What was impressive was that none of the dogs dared to eat the wolf meat. After killing the wolves, they all ran to Feng Chengmin's side and lay down. Apart from a few more bloodstains, the four dogs were almost completely fine!

After the two warmed up, they checked their wounds. Wang An only had four holes in his left forearm from the wolves' fangs; he sprinkled some tobacco powder on them, and that was it!

Feng Chengmin looked quite miserable, covered in cotton, but in reality, he was fine. He just had four holes in each arm from the wolf bites and small cuts from the wolf teeth during the struggle. Mountain people wore very thick clothes, so it wasn't a big problem—also just a handful of tobacco powder to finish it off!

Mountain people are very tough; these few holes and cuts didn't even count as minor injuries—it was no different from a scratch on the hand!

Everyone didn't know about or care about things like diseases or bacteria!

When Wang An wanted to boil some water to drink, he realized that everything on the sled, including the sack containing the tiger cub's carcass, was gone!

He told Feng Chengmin, and the two searched for their things for a long time in the moonlight!

In the middle of the night, it was hard to find two stones to set up a pot to boil water, which made Wang An even more determined to make a pot stand!

He dragged over a wolf carcass, gutted it, bled it, and cut the meat, feeding the dogs along the way!

He also raked out a pile of half-burned charcoal and buried the two "silly half-jin" birds he had trapped that morning into the charcoal pile!

After roasting them until cooked, you tear off the burnt skin; the intestines and gizzards of the silly half-jin are thrown away, but the heart, liver, and kidneys can all be eaten. Sprinkle a little salt and chili powder, and it's quite delicious!

Because eating it this way is easier; they were frozen solid and impossible to process! Otherwise, stewing this in soup would be much better than wolf meat!

After this day, he didn't know if it was lucky or unlucky, but the harvest was quite good! But their luck was truly terrible to run into a wolf pack!

Wolf fur is half the price of fox fur, but the advantage was the large quantity today, which could also sell for a lot of money—a compensation for their bad luck!

Half an hour later, the silly half-jin was cooked. The two were very hungry, so they didn't care about the heat, tearing off the entire burnt skin to reveal the bright red meat. Tearing off a leg and taking a bite was simply a delicacy of the world! It was truly delicious!

Burying the silly half-jin whole in the charcoal fire is the most common way for rural children to eat.

Silly half-jin, small wild chickens, unknown birds, sparrows, quails, great tits, fish, ground squirrels, potatoes, sweet potatoes, unripe corn, etc., can all be buried like this, roasted until cooked, and they are incredibly delicious!

Especially ground squirrels; when roasted, they sizzle with oil, which is a great treat for children who rarely see meat! But catching a ground squirrel is quite a difficult task!

In short, in the countryside, as long as it's edible, everything can be buried in charcoal, and everyone grew up like this.

After eating the silly half-jin, the wolf meat was also boiled. To make it cook faster, the meat was sliced very thin, and it tasted quite good, similar to fox meat. Anyway, they were both quite full!

The meat soup was covered with foam from the blood, but no one cared about that, and they drank every drop without wasting any!

After eating and drinking their fill, they weren't as exhausted. Looking at the wild boar, only the skeleton remained, so they didn't want it anymore!

The two began to collect their trophies in the moonlight—the wolf carcasses!

They dragged them all together; there were 13 in total. Unexpectedly, two semi-automatic rifles with a total of 20 bullets caused the wolf pack quite a loss—a full 7 wolves were killed!

Even Feng Chengmin, an old hunter, couldn't understand why a pack of 15 wolves would be so stubborn, continuing to charge even after seven had died! In the end, only 2 ran away; this deal was truly not worth it!

However, when the two were dragging the wolf carcasses onto the sled, they discovered that one wolf was much larger than the others. Judging by the bullet holes, it was the one that had been in a standoff with Feng Chengmin and was killed by Wang An's shot! This was why, after this wolf was killed, the last two wolves ran away directly!

This doubt was finally explained: if the alpha is there, the pack is brave; if the alpha dies, the pack is defeated! A wolf pack with an alpha has unparalleled cohesion and truly ignores life and death!

After packing up the wolf carcasses, the two cut many living pine trunks to continue burning fires for warmth. These wet pine trunks produced a lot of smoke but lasted longer than dry ones.

In these deep mountains at night, it's better to stay here and build a fire for warmth than to try to walk the mountain road home!

The two sat back-to-back and fell asleep. With the dogs there, there was no need to worry about the problem of keeping watch; hunting dogs are the best guards!

In the deep parts of these mountains, mountain dogs wouldn't live in such dangerous places, so there were no earth huts built by mountain dogs; otherwise, staying there for the night would have been much more comfortable!

During the night, the two, frozen awake, would occasionally rebuild the fire, and that's how they made it until dawn! For mountain people, spending a night like this is normal, so they weren't uncomfortable!

Begging for continued reading, begging for continued reading, begging for continued reading!

Dear readers and bosses, don't just hoard the chapters, I beg you!!
