Chapter 957

Wang An scooping honey is different from Seeing Mu Xueli.

Seeing Mu Xueli is clean wherever he passes, not leaving anything for the bees, while Wang An will leave a layer when scooping honey.

The reason Wang An wants to do this is because this beehive is not very far from the village, about twelve or thirteen li, which is just outside the periphery of the village.

So if you want to scoop honey again next year, you can come here and scoop it again.

But if you do it like Seeing Mu Xueli, then ten to one these bees will flee from here and find another place to settle down, and if Wang An wants to find another beehive, that is really not a simple thing.

Actually, compared to later generations, there are quite a lot of such beehives in the mountains of this era.

As long as you are willing to spend enough time and energy, it is not very difficult to find them.

It's just that for a little honey, running into the mountains to search is really not worth it.

Besides, it's not that this thing is not difficult; it can only be said that "it's not very difficult," but in fact, it's not easy at all to find this thing.

Soon, Wang An filled the two tree bark bags.

Although if he continued to scoop, he could scoop out another tree bark bag of honeycomb, but Wang An didn't intend to continue scooping.

It's still that sentence, leave some for the bees, you have to let the bees have food for the winter.

Because only in this way can you continue to eat honey next year.

Consequently, Wang An twisted out the burning mugwort rope on the tree and came down from the tree.

As soon as he came down, Seeing Mu Xueli and Wang Li came up. Seeing Mu Xueli looked at the tree bark bag Wang An took off his lower back and said subconsciously:

"Brother-in-law, there's still quite a lot in the beehive, right? Should I go up again?"

Wang An shook his head and said:

"Don't go, there's not much left inside, if you scoop it all away, those bees will definitely run, come back next year."

Seeing Mu Xueli heard this, slapped his thigh, and said regretfully:

"When I scooped honey before, why didn't I think of this? If I knew to leave some for the bees, wouldn't our family have honey to eat every year? Oh my god, I am like this every day!"

It could be seen that Seeing Mu Xueli was truly regretting this matter.

After Seeing Mu Xueli finished speaking, Wang Li immediately teased:

"You didn't have enough eating other people's honey, and you had to empty other people's food storage; you are really awesome."

Seeing Mu Xueli rarely didn't argue with Wang Li, his face full of regret.

Seeing Mu Xueli was regretting, while Wang An and Wang Li were looking at Seeing Mu Xueli with schadenfreude.

After a while, Wang An said to Seeing Mu Xueli:

"Alright, stop thinking about it, take a bag, pack these three bags of honey and hang them on the tree, and take them back with the meat before going home, then let's hurry to eat by the water, and continue to find that man-bear after eating."

After Wang An finished speaking, Wang Li asked:

"Fourth Brother, should we take some meat to roast and eat?"

This time going into the mountains, because it was for the man-bear, and it was in the forest periphery where animals are relatively rare, so Wang An's small pot was not brought into the mountains.

Wang An shook his head and said:

"Roasting meat takes too long to eat, it's too delaying. At noon, we'll just make do with pancakes, and after eating pancakes and resting for a while, we'll continue searching."

Wang Li replied casually:

"Yeah, it's so hot, roasting meat is also suffering."

As they spoke, the three worked together to hang the sack containing the tree bark bags on the tree.

Then the three led the horses without riding, and continued to walk toward the small stream.

After walking for more than a li, the three arrived at the small stream.

In these mountains, water from small streams flowing down from the mountains can be drunk, but there is one exception, which is on rainy days.

Because on rainy days, various animal feces, or various parasite eggs, and various bacteria are all washed to various places by the rain.

If such water is drunk directly, at the very least, you will have diarrhea.

Finding a spring, the three Wang An brothers first drank their fill, then washed the wild vegetables they dug, and the three sat there eating pancakes rolled with wild vegetables.

Spread the big pancake on the flour bag, then spread bean paste on it, put the big brain, wild onions, and wild vegetables on it, and finally roll up the pancake, and you can eat it directly.

Not a lie, this way of eating definitely elevates the dry pancake by more than one level.

While eating, Wang Li suddenly asked Wang An:

"Fourth Brother, what should we do if we still can't find that man-bear in the afternoon?"

Wang An said vaguely while chewing the pancake:

"If we can't find it, then forget it; it's not our fault if we can't find it, what else can we do."

Wang Li swallowed the pancake in his mouth and explained:

"No, Fourth Brother, I mean if we can't find it in the afternoon, should we go home or stay in the mountains at night?"

Wang An rolled his eyes at Wang Li:

"Stay in the mountains? Oh my god, feed the mosquitoes? I won't stay in the mountains."

In this forest, actually, there are mosquitoes during the day, but fortunately, the three were wrapped very tightly, so they weren't bitten by mosquitoes.

But the most magical thing in this forest is that as soon as the sun sets, the mosquitoes will soon drill out in overwhelming numbers.

Just standing there casually, it only takes less than a minute for the whole body to be covered with mosquitoes, dense and large.

By that time, besides lighting old cow dung, even lighting mugwort rope wouldn't work.

In constant chatting, the three ended this lunch that was not sumptuous at all.

After smoking a cigarette and resting for a while, the three continued to ride horses and lead dogs, wandering around here blindly.

And don't say, there is a good old saying, which is "hard work pays off."

Just when the three wandered to a meadow, Hearing Da Hei suddenly opened its voice, and immediately after, the group of dogs whistled and ran after Hearing Da Hei.

The meadow in the mountains is basically flat land washed out by mountain floods.

Simply put, it is when the flood was overflowing, it forcibly silted a mountain col into a large flat land with silt.

But it is worth noting that because there is much water, dense grass, and soft soil in such a meadow, it is very easy to form a swamp in a certain place of the meadow.

Hearing Da Hei opened its voice, the three were happy, and chased after Hearing Da Hei and the group of dogs on horseback.

Soon, the group of dogs and the three Wang An brothers chased to a water bubble.

But when they arrived at this small water bubble, Hearing Da Hei suddenly stopped barking, and turned around this small water bubble, occasionally raising its head to smell, and lowering its head to smell by the water.

It was very obvious that Hearing Da Hei had lost the prey.
