Chapter 84: Each Taking What They Need

After He Liang finished speaking, he found that no one paid attention to him.

Just as he was embarrassed and didn't know what to do, Ma Guoqiang pulled He Liang.

He Liang looked at Ma Guoqiang in confusion, only to hear Ma Guoqiang say in a low and angry voice: "If you don't know how to speak, then don't speak. Why are you asking about everything! If I asked how much money your family has, would you say it?"

Although Ma Guoqiang's voice was low, all five people were sitting around the fire, so how could they not hear it!

He Liang shut his mouth and didn't speak, seemingly knowing that he wasn't very welcome, and silently started eating meat.

After a while, Ma Guoqiang thought and thought, deciding to tell the whole story, because they truly needed bear gall!

It was just that when they were on the sled, he had heard everything Wu Dong said. From Wang An's indifferent answer, he had discovered that Wang An was just helping out of kindness, just doing a favor!

Whether it was He Liang or Wu Dong, not only could they not make the other party trust them, but they seemed to have aroused the other party's disgust and suspicion! If you want to ask for help, it's best to tell the truth!

Lying can only deceive yourself! No one believes it at all!

He said: "Fellow villager, don't mind. We came into the mountains to hunt bears and take gall, not to treat an illness, but to detoxify."

It turned out that one of their elders had been poisoned. Their status wasn't convenient to say, but Wang An guessed it was an official! This poison was a chronic poison, and it was quite arrogant, making people sleep all day, with little time awake and more time asleep.

They had found many doctors, and none of them knew what was going on. Later, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner was sent from above, saying that the golden gall of a bear could detoxify it.

Then the family started collecting bear gall and golden gall. In this era, bear gall was everywhere in the country, so they collected quite a bit and fed it to the elder. It was effective, but it only reduced the sleeping time a little!

The traditional Chinese medicine practitioner said that ordinary bear gall powder wouldn't work; they had to use fresh bear gall, and it had to be golden gall, for the effect to be good!

Fresh golden gall wasn't hard to find. After collecting, they got quite a bit, and the effect was indeed great, but it could never be cured at the root.

The traditional Chinese medicine practitioner said again that they had to use a large golden gall, that is, the gall of a black bear or a big bear with many years, to have a chance to cure it at the root.

Once this condition came out, it became difficult. Although they cast a wide net and used their connections to find it, they still had no harvest so far!

What kind of gall a black bear or a bear produces, unless you kill them and take it out, no one knows!

Although golden gall depends on luck, it can be encountered, and fresh gall is easy to talk about, but these old black bears or bears, to be honest, are quite hard to find!

The older they are, the higher their intelligence, and the deeper they run into the mountains. If it weren't for the fact that animals weren't allowed to become spirits after the founding of the New China, they might all be able to speak human language!

Even if you found an old bear or black bear, it still had to be a golden gall, and the probability dropped by another two-thirds!

That is to say, you had to find at least three old black bears or bears! The result was that whether you could encounter a golden gall was also uncertain!

Besides, the old saying goes well: People get cunning as they age, horses get slippery, and eagles find it hard to catch old rabbits!

When a black bear or a bear gets old, it's not a question of whether it's easy to catch or not; just finding them takes a hell of a lot of effort, and besides, those are fierce beasts!

Clearing out a den, people die or get disabled just like that! If you face such an old thing, what would be the result for the hunters?

Hearing Ma Guoqiang's words, Wang An didn't react, because this could only be considered them showing their bottom line, but whether this "bottom line" was true or false remained to be confirmed!

Seeing Wang An still not speaking, Ma Guoqiang tentatively said: "Fellow villager, if you know which village has fresh big golden gall, I'll pay two thousand, no, I'll pay three thousand, and buy it from you."

The meaning of these words was actually still wanting to ask what kind of gall this big bear Wang An hunted produced!

Wang An was eating roasted meat without any reaction. Mu Xueli couldn't help but glance at Wang An. Seeing Wang An's expressionless face, he immediately knew how damn stupid this glance at Wang An was! He immediately turned his head to use a branch to pick up meat!

But who present wasn't a human spirit? Never underestimate these second-generation kids! The second-generation kids of this era were no real playboys!

Even the second-generation kids Wang An had come into contact with before entering the fence in his past life weren't truly stupid. Even if this second-generation kid was truly stupid, the people around him definitely weren't!

Mu Xueli's glance could be considered exposing the fact that they had golden gall or knew news about golden gall!

However, Wang An had experienced all kinds of big waves; these three little mixed dragons, and besides, a golden gall was just a small matter. To be honest, it really didn't matter!

The three of them saw Mu Xueli's eyes, and naturally they were all very happy. Things are always like this; as long as there's a lead, things will be much easier to handle next!

In order to increase trust and reach a deal, Ma Guoqiang continued: "Actually, we came from Bingcheng. Although Wu Dong's home is in Bingcheng, he works in this county government, so we can be considered our own people!"

This was the arrogance of the second-generation kids. A few true and false words could pull you closer to them. Everything that should be said was said, and what couldn't be said, not a single word popped out!

It both indicated their status and position, not ordinary commoners, making you feel wary and not have crooked thoughts about them!

And it made you feel like you had gained huge benefits, even though you hadn't actually gained anything! It would also let you know that they were trustworthy! Government personnel in this era, even if only on the surface, were trustworthy; at the very least, they were positive figures!

Wang An felt that their injuries were indeed true! They weren't injured on purpose!

But after meeting him, the cooperation of these three people was also quite good. The arrangement of this appearance order, maybe they were unintentional, and he was just overthinking it!

But the twists and turns of these three people, if anyone else were here, they would also believe them!

Of course, Wang An also believed them, but he didn't believe what the three of them said, but believed this person named Wu Dong!

Because his various performances when buying the roe deer weren't fake at all. His indifference to money wasn't pretended; he truly had that strength!

"Okay, when I hear news, I'll go to the county town to find you. Just prepare the money," Wang An said lightly.

Hearing Wang An agree, Ma Dong said happily: "Fellow villager, when the time comes, just go to the government compound to find me. Just mention my name to the gatekeeper, and it will work."

Wang An agreed, and the few of them started chatting.

Wang An and Mu Xueli also told them their names. They were all young people, their defenses were lowered, and the five of them chatted quite well.

Just as Wang An guessed, from the meaning revealed in the conversation, the three of them were indeed second-generation kids, official second-generation plus military second-generation. In Bingcheng or in Heilongjiang Province, their family strength was still quite arrogant!

However, from some lonely words, it could also be heard that none of the three of them were the kind of people their families focused on cultivating; they were all marginal figures.

But even these marginal figures of their families were at a height that the vast majority of ordinary people would never reach in their lives!

So people, no matter who they are, just never have a time when they are satisfied!

However, for Wang An, knowing these three people was also not bad. Many things that couldn't be sold at a price in the hands of ordinary people could be sold at a high price in their hands! And they were also profitable!

For example, the fur of a leopard, for example, the fur of a tiger cub!

For Wang An, besides family, the interaction between people is nothing more than you helping me and me helping you, or to put it bluntly, it's you using me and me using you!

We each take what we need and achieve the goals we want to achieve!

While chatting, several people fell asleep on the big bear's fur.

Wang An ironed and put away the big bear's big iron gall and found that the big bear's fangs had already been knocked off by his brother-in-law! Then he covered the fire with wet pine trunks and also fell asleep on the black bear's skin!
