Chapter 85: Two Concepts

Early the next morning, just as the sky was getting light, none of them could lie down anymore!

Although they had eaten the big bear's meat and the night had passed quite well, when they got up in the morning, their stomachs were basically empty. Besides, the morning in winter was the coldest time of the day. In the Northeast, this time period was called "before the dog bares its teeth"!

Hurrying to build a fire, Wang An and Seeing Mu Xueli also felt cold, but they could still endure it!

These three people were actually quite cold-resistant, but unfortunately, their cotton-padded overcoats had been torn, and the cold-proof performance had become very poor, so the three of them were very uncomfortable from the cold!

And although Ma Guoqiang's leg injury wasn't serious and had been simply bandaged, he was still injured after all. If the three of them hadn't fainted relatively quickly yesterday and had steamed buns on them, it was estimated that the three of them would have been in danger of their lives!

Each of them ate a few pieces of roasted meat and then drove the sled back. The three people's guns were all double-barreled hunting guns. They said these guns had great power, and he didn't know what kind of thinking that was! However, they only found two guns; the three of them didn't know where the other gun was lost.

Only one horse was found; the other two horses didn't know where they had run off to. The mountains were so big, there was no way to find them!

Maybe they had already run back, who knows. However, the three of them didn't seem to care much, and Wang An and Seeing Mu Xueli cared even less; it wasn't their own things that were lost!

Traveling fast, Wang An and Seeing Mu Xueli arrived at the place where they set the traps. The three people on the sled had long been unable to stand the cold, so they followed the two of them to check the traps.

It seemed that all men were very interested in this mountain hunting set. The three of them were all enthusiastically helping to collect the roe deer. Wang An and Seeing Mu Xueli didn't hide anything and told the three of them the methods and precautions for setting traps.

The three of them were all eager to try, seemingly wanting to set traps all over the mountains as soon as they went back.

Fine iron wire was very difficult for ordinary people to get, but for them, they could have as much as they wanted!

Some roe deer were eaten halfway by other mountain animals because the time to check the traps was late, and some traps were even dragged away. However, the roe deer that were only half left couldn't be wasted; people could still eat them, and it didn't delay anything, just eating a few less mouthfuls of meat!

With more than a hundred wire traps, because they hadn't been checked for a day, 27 complete roe deer were trapped, 5 were half-eaten, and two or three were lost. With so many wire traps, trapping these roe deer was actually normal!

Entering the mountains for these two days, the harvest was one black bear golden gall, one big bear iron gall, two noses, four knees, eight big bear paws, and several hundred jin of meat!

Among them, the four big bear paws were much bigger than Wang An's head, almost as big as two of Wang An's heads!

The two skins were seriously damaged because the big bear and the black bear fought, so they weren't valuable anymore and couldn't be sold, but making them into mattresses for their own home was also a very good thing! And they had trapped so many roe deer!

This trip into the mountains could be said to be a full harvest!

After checking the traps, they didn't delay any longer and went straight back to Wang An's house.

On the way back, everyone chatted quite well. The three of them also simply talked about the family affairs they had been hiding before, and Wang An also let his brother-in-law talk about the big bear and the black bear.

Seeing Mu Xueli's vivid speech naturally made the three of them admire him endlessly, and they yearned for it!

This kind of mountain-roaring, dog-leading hunting life seemed to be something every man liked and yearned to try!

Before Wang An arrived home, the three dogs had long since run home.

Discovering that the three dogs had returned, Wang Dazhu and his wife and Mu Xueqing were already waiting outside the house, holding basins in their hands, with hunting knives and kitchen knives in the basins!

They had originally prepared to skin the prey, but they didn't expect that this time they were moving meat from the sled. To be honest, the three of them were a bit unaccustomed to it. Every time Wang An came back, he was busy and hot, and this was the first time it was so easy!

Discovering that Wang An had also brought back three "refugees," Liu Guilan hurriedly went into the house to cook and prepare dishes, and Mu Xueqing naturally followed her mother-in-law to get busy!

When Ma Guoqiang and the other two saw Mu Xueqing for the first time, they were simply amazed. They hurriedly asked Wang An who this was. When Wang An said proudly, "This is my wife," the expressions of regret, loneliness, and frustration instantly hung on the faces of the three!

After such a long time of contact, the three of them were relatively familiar with Wang An and Seeing Mu Xueli.

They were all Northeast men, and they were all true-hearted people. After becoming friends, everyone didn't have so many precautions and suspicions!

The enthusiasm of Northeast people generally wouldn't be expressed on their faces, but would be expressed in the food!

Liu Guilan prepared eight dishes in total. Besides the dipping sauce dishes, they were all meat, all kinds of meat. Wang Dazhu's beloved sweet potato liquor was naturally placed on the table!

The six big men ate until they were full of wine and food, their stomachs full.

Liu Guilan and Mu Xueqing led the two little girls to eat in the west room. This kind of situation, in this era in the Northeast, was generally men and women eating separately! Wang Yi hadn't come back from school yet!

After eating, it wasn't noon yet. Ma Guoqiang and the other two were anxious about the golden gall for detoxification, so naturally, they didn't want to stay long, taking turns signaling to Wang An that they had to go.

For this kind of thing, Wang An naturally couldn't delay. He left the large stallion at home to rest well, drove the sled pulled by the large mare, and tied their horse to the back of the sled!

He also gave each of the three three large roe deer, as well as a few pieces of big bear and black bear meat! He also took the two hanging tubes, prepared to sell them, and the four of them drove the sled straight to the county town.

On the way, Wang An asked the three where to buy large 54 bullets, because the supply and marketing cooperative didn't sell large 54 bullets; the supply and marketing cooperative only sold bullets for long guns!

Even if he found his old fox friends, it was quite troublesome to get this thing. In this era, long guns could be bought and sold at will, and bullets were everywhere!

Although the Great Ming didn't care much about handguns, they didn't support it, because this thing was relatively dangerous, and you couldn't tell if you were carrying it on your body!

The three looked at each other, seemingly very surprised. Wu Dong said: "Brother, you don't need to buy bullets. We can supply you!"

This time it was Wang An's turn to be surprised. Were they that arrogant? But then he was relieved! In this era, whether it was the government or the military, could they be short of bullets?

Even if it was the militia team, large 54 bullets might be rare, but there were plenty of long gun bullets!

It seemed that it wasn't until '97 that they started to completely ban it, and he himself in his past life only started messing with this thing in those few years. It was huge profit! And it was truly harmful to people!

More than an hour later, under Wu Dong's direction, the four of them drove the sled to a tiled house courtyard. A very beautiful woman came out to greet them, but Wu Dong didn't introduce her, and Wang An guessed that this woman wasn't his partner either!

After the few entered the house, the woman went to another room.

After entering the house, everyone shut their mouths and didn't speak. Things had been discussed, so what else was there to chat about!

Wu Dong took three stacks of large unity from a safe and handed them to Wang An. When opening the safe door, Wang An saw that there was still a lot of money and tickets inside, so he accepted it without being polite.

But when Wang An took the golden gall out of his cotton-padded coat pocket, the three were all shocked! This was too damn big!

Ma Guoqiang and the other two seemed to feel very embarrassed. After the three looked at each other, Ma Guoqiang couldn't help but say: "Brother, this can't let you suffer a loss! Look at how much more money we should add?"

Although Wang An didn't understand this thing, looking at the expressions of the three, Wang An knew that this big golden gall was definitely worth more than 3000 yuan!

And the acquisition price of golden gall in the supply and marketing cooperative was completely two concepts from the true circulation price of this thing!

Asking for follow-up reading, asking for follow-up reading. If you have tickets, reward a few!
