Chapter 83: What Are You?

~9 min read 1,690 words

After feeding the three dogs and greeting his brother-in-law, Wang An turned to drive the sled.

This return journey was truly a bit far. If Wang An didn't hurry, not only would he not be able to eat lunch, but he might not even be able to eat dinner!

Wang An was very hungry and very tired, and the inside of his cotton-padded jacket was all damp!

But he still walked very fast, mainly because it was already past 3:00 PM. If he didn't walk fast, he wouldn't be able to reach the sled before dark!

Taking a shortcut all the way, when he reached the sled, it was already completely dark.

After tidying up the fodder and driving the sled, he left. Fortunately, as long as it wasn't cloudy in the mountains, it was moonlit and starry!

Although the visibility couldn't compare to the daytime, as long as the large stallion wasn't affected, it was fine!

When he reached the place where the three dogs first surrounded the big bear, Wang An saw a black shadow in front, as if some prey was moving, and it wasn't just one piece of prey!

But the large stallion wasn't affected at all and was still walking forward!

So the prey definitely wasn't a fierce beast or a wild beast, but Wang An still prepared his gun, his right index finger on the trigger. With a gun in hand, he felt a sense of security, a particularly strong sense of security!

As the sled moved forward, the black shadow got closer and closer. Wang An directly raised his gun to his face. This black shadow was quite arrogant, actually not knowing how to run!

Damn it, I don't care how arrogant you are; if you don't run, I'll fire two shots first!

Before he could pull the trigger, he heard someone shouting: "Fellow villager, fellow villager, help, help!"

Wang An was instantly shocked inside. This damn dark night, and still in these very deep mountains!

How come there was a human voice? What the hell was this situation?

In this day and age, one really didn't dare to pay attention to people one didn't know, mainly because the Great Ming machine hadn't started running yet, and now was an era where all kinds of broken, shitty people existed! If you weren't careful, you would get yourself involved!

Besides, killing people all the time wasn't a damn thing either! If you fired a gun at the slightest disagreement, that definitely wouldn't do!

Just as Wang An was pondering, the sled reached the person who was shouting.

Scanning left and right, two people were supporting one person, three people in total!

Looking at the situation, these three people had encountered some danger. All three were wearing military overcoats, but the military overcoats had been torn open, revealing the cotton, looking all tattered.

The person being supported in the middle had his pants torn at the calf, and there seemed to be blood where it was torn. The whole person seemed to be delirious!

Wang An stopped the large stallion, got off the sled, and asked: "You three, what happened?"

Although he didn't know them, Wang An thought that if he could lend a hand, he would. He had been killing people, so he had to save people to make up for it! Mainly because he had run into them, and he couldn't avoid it!

Didn't they say that saving one life was better than building a seven-story pagoda? Forget about the pagoda; he just wanted to find peace of mind for the things he ran into!

The person on the left answered with a bitter smile: "We came into the mountains wanting to hunt some prey, but we were unlucky and ran into a bear, and my friend got injured!"

Wang An knew what was going on inside. These were probably the owners of those three shoe prints, but this person was lying!

Because they were following the bear's tracks, which was tracking! Instead of what he said, being unlucky and running into a big bear!

They were already in this damn state, yet this person was still lying. Wang An, who was naturally suspicious, instantly had a bad impression of this person. What peace of mind? Ignoring them was peace of mind.

You treat others like idiots, so who knows what the hell you three are actually trying to do?

Wang An didn't speak again and just wanted to turn around and drive the sled away!

Seeing Wang An about to leave, this person got anxious and hurriedly shouted: "Fellow villager, why are you leaving? Can you help?"

Wang An said stiffly without looking back: "Didn't your parents teach you that you should be honest?"

At this time, the one on the right also sobered up and said: "Fellow villager, don't leave yet, listen to my explanation."

Then the one on the right said unhappily to the one on the left: "What the hell time is it, and you're still caring about your damn face!"

Immediately after, the one on the right said: "Fellow villager, we came from the county. My name is Wu Dong, the one lying is He Liang, and the one unconscious is Ma Guoqiang. Please don't mind; He Liang didn't lie on purpose, he just loves face. Please help us!"

Actually, this person named Wu Dong, Wang An had recognized him at a glance just now, because he was the young man who bought Wang An's live roe deer and didn't care about money!

It was just that the other party hadn't recognized him, and they had only dealt with each other that one time. The most important thing was that He Liang had lied!

Besides, couldn't two people with no problems take care of one injured person? Being able to enter such deep mountains, they must have had some skills!

Originally, Wang An stopped here just because he couldn't avoid it. Besides, there were so many broken people, so he didn't want to pay attention to them!

However, if they were mountain hunters, they were dressed all slick and shiny. Although they were torn to nothing by the big bear, those military overcoats weren't the common military green goods sold in the supply and marketing cooperative. They looked very much like standard issue, just without shoulder straps or armbands!

Hearing Wu Dong speak quite openly, Wang An thought for a moment and said: "Get on the sled."

After Wu Dong and He Liang helped Ma Guoqiang onto the sled and the two of them sat down, Wang An drove the sled straight toward his brother-in-law and the big bear.

On the way, Wu Dong explained that an elder in the family was now in urgent need of fresh bear gall to combine with other medicines to treat an illness, so the three of them had entered the mountains.

Originally, they had found an old gunner to follow, but that old gunner had some trouble and didn't come. They couldn't find a reliable hunter to enter the mountains with them for a while.

The three of them were anxious, so they risked entering the mountains. They lost their horses, lost their guns, the steamed buns they brought were gone, and they ended up in this damn state!

While speaking, he sighed and looked completely frustrated!

After hearing this, Wang An didn't express any opinion, just hummed and hawed, because this sounded like it should be true, but it was also full of loopholes.

Fresh bear gall, besides detoxifying, he hadn't heard of it being able to treat any illness. Treating illnesses basically used bear gall powder. Maybe Wang An was ignorant!

Besides, it was just bear gall, did they need to risk entering the mountains? If the money was there, just ask what kind of gall you want? How big?

It was just a matter unrelated to him, and Wang An had absolutely no interest!

On the way, the person with the injured leg also sobered up, just a bit weak, and even said "thank you" to Wang An.

Soon, the four of them arrived at Mu Xueli's location.

Mu Xueli had already finished butchering the entire big bear, still in pieces of about 5 jin, putting them in a big pile! The big bear's nose, knees, and four big paws were all placed together!

And at this time, Mu Xueli had already chopped a big pile of firewood, both dry and wet, and had built two big fires.

At this time, a lot of the big bear's meat was being roasted around the fire. Mu Xueli was even eating the roasted meat, and it seemed he was eating quite deliciously!

Seeing Wang An return and even bringing three people, Mu Xueli didn't care. This kind of situation of rescuing people in the mountains was very normal!

Generally, they were people who were lost in the mountains, but the situation of three people being lost together was very rare. One was a pig brain, two were pig brains, and the third was a damn pig brain!

However, Mu Xueli didn't ask anything, just greeted everyone to eat roasted meat, while he went to the sled to take a pot to melt snow and boil water. All day, whether thirsty or hungry, they were eating snow, eating all kinds of snow!

Seeing the big bear's skin and paws, the three of them looked very happy. After eating roasted meat for a while.

He Liang couldn't help but ask: "Fellow villager, what kind of gall did this bear produce?"

Wang An and Mu Xueli didn't answer and didn't pay attention to He Liang, but their faces turned gloomy!

Because this He Liang was obviously very ignorant. Where would you ask about this in the mountains? What are you trying to do? Or do you want to do something? People in the same village didn't dare to ask about taboo things, so what the hell are you?
