Chapter 64

The next day, just as the sky was beginning to brighten, the two drove the sled home!

On this morning, cold enough to make dogs bare their teeth, the temperature was much lower than at night, likely nearly minus 40 degrees. But every time they entered the mountains in the morning, they didn't feel much, but this time coming down the mountain, they were truly frozen!

Passing by the place where they set the large traps, they took a look. Although these six large traps were very expensive and setting them was very complicated and troublesome, they were truly effective!

They caught three roe deer, two of which were still alive, and one "yellow fur" (a type of weasel). The yellow fur might have been caught earlier, and its internal organs had already been pulled out and eaten by some animal, and a small piece of meat from its belly had also been eaten, but the overall loss was basically zero!

Although the harvest from this trip into the mountains was not small and they had suffered quite a bit, the two were still beaming with joy. They had lost one pig, but they had gotten one back.

The most important thing was the two live roe deer; live ones are more valuable than dead ones, and since they were caught in traps, they could be kept and killed whenever they wanted to eat!

This kind of thing was very worth being happy about! The remaining two large traps that hadn't caught anything were also collected!

Roe deer are very afraid of wolf carcasses. When the two tied up the two roe deer and placed them on the wolf carcasses, the two deer kept calling non-stop, the white fur on their rumps kept bristling, and their tied legs were struggling and moving around, which looked particularly funny!

They arrived at the mountain range where the wire traps and steel traps were located, and it was another harvest: five "jumping cats" (hares), one hazel grouse, one silly half-jin, and two wild chickens. Wang An was already accustomed to such a harvest!

In fact, whether it's setting traps or steel traps, it all depends on quantity. With more than 60 traps and over 30 steel traps, as long as you learn the method and go around once a day, you won't return empty-handed!

However, thin wire and thick wire were not cheap for ordinary mountain people in this era, so they fell into a vicious cycle!

It's like wanting to do a small business; you know it makes money, but you don't have a single cent in your pocket, and you're surrounded by poor people, and you can't borrow any—it's simply painfully agonizing!

In the mountains of this era, there were simply too many wild chickens and rabbits! Even in later generations, there were rabbits in the small woods in the countryside!

However, if no one teaches you, the harvest definitely won't be good, just like Wang An before—no matter how many traps he set, he didn't catch a single one!

The two didn't delay any longer and drove the sled home.

When they returned to Feng Chengmin's house, his wife, Wang Yulian, had already circled the gate countless times. Her hair wasn't combed, her face wasn't washed, her hair was messy, and her eyes were red—it was clear she hadn't slept all night!

Because Feng Chengmin hadn't said he would spend the night in the mountains before they left, Wang Yulian had been terrified when he didn't come home last night!

Understandable; anyone could understand this! In this day and age, it was too normal for mountain people to die in the mountains!

Even if they weren't mountain people, as long as they entered the mountains, it was common for one or two to die occasionally!

Otherwise, where would all the widows and widowers in every village come from!

Seeing Feng Chengmin and Wang An return, Wang Yulian's eyes immediately moistened! She didn't say anything and didn't shed tears; the worry was real, and the habit was also truly a habit!

The old aunt didn't care about the wolf carcasses and live roe deer on the sled and wanted to cook as soon as she entered the house. Wang An refused to stay, citing that his family was waiting anxiously, and the two surprisingly didn't insist!

Feng Chengmin decided to split the hunted game in half again. Perhaps in Feng Chengmin's heart, Wang An's Type 54 had contributed the most to this trip, as it had saved their lives!

As soon as Wang An tried to decline, Feng Chengmin immediately changed his expression. Wang An felt bad about always taking advantage, but he had no choice but to accept!

Therefore, Wang An was allocated six wolves, including the alpha, one live and one dead roe deer, six hares, one hazel grouse, one silly half-jin, and two wild chickens. Feng Chengmin also told Wang An to take the tiger cub back and split the money after selling the fur!

Because Feng Chengmin had one extra wolf that had been bitten to death by the dogs with damaged fur, and the weight of one yellow fur was about the same as three roe deer.

Compared to roe deer meat, mountain people preferred wild boar meat because wild boar had fat, while roe deer only had a thin layer of fat as thick as parchment on their bellies, and the rest was all lean meat!

The tiger cub also weighed nearly sixty jin, much heavier than a roe deer, which was also compensation for Wang An! He just didn't know if tiger cub meat was tasty, mainly because Wang An had never eaten it!

Except for the Big Claw, Wang An had now eaten all three of the mountain's fierce feline beasts!

Before leaving, Wang An suddenly asked Feng Chengmin: "Old Uncle-in-law, are you keeping those wolf teeth?"

Feng Chengmin was stunned, not knowing why his nephew-in-law asked this, and then said: "What's the use of keeping those things? They're all trash."

Wang An was happy to hear Feng Chengmin say this and said: "Then when you peel the wolf skin, help me knock them out and keep them for me. I'm fond of those things!"

Although Feng Chengmin was still confused, everyone has their own hobbies, so he nodded and said: "That's fine, I'll keep them for you!"

Wang An said goodbye and drove the sled home!

While still far from the yard, Wang An's large black dog seemed to have discovered something and started barking, and the other two followed suit!

But in broad daylight, the family didn't pay much attention!

Before entering the yard, Wang An saw Mu Xueqing and Shen Wei chatting at the gate, and Wang An was stunned for a moment.

How could these two women look so harmonious! Didn't they have any desire to fight? Although he was the culprit, them looking like this was truly abnormal!

Seeing Wang An return, both women were surprised because Wang An hadn't returned last night, and the family thought he had stayed at Feng Chengmin's house! The two women were chatting, and the topic was naturally Wang An, so Shen Wei also knew what was going on!

And at this time, shouldn't Wang An have already entered the mountains?

However, when Wang An approached, the two women were even more surprised! A pile of wolf carcasses! What on earth had happened?

Wang An ignored the women's surprise and said with a smile: "Why aren't you two chatting inside? Isn't it cold at the gate?"

Mu Xueqing rolled her eyes at Wang An, followed by a face full of worry. With so many wolf carcasses, all killed by gunfire, one could imagine what her man had gone through!

Shen Wei also frowned, looking at the wolf carcasses with a face full of worry!

Although she and Wang An had only had one intimate encounter, in this era, many women were like this—once you obtained her body, you basically obtained her heart!

And many women were obtained through drugs or dirty means by men, yet they wouldn't resist and instead actively married the man who had obtained them through dirty means! No matter what kind of scumbag the man was!

It makes people sigh at their misfortune and be angry at their lack of resistance! But mostly, it's just helplessness!
