Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 1084 Can the Son Pay the Father’s Debt?

After making enough ropes, several people used Er Gangzi's axe to cut a few elm sticks to use as shoulder poles.

After chopping the shoulder pole, Er Gangzi smiled and said to Wang An:
"Master Xiao An, we will take down your bear paws from the mountain in a bit, so just don't worry about them, hehehe."

Wang An laughed when he heard this:

"That's not necessary. These four things are not that heavy. I can carry them. Hahahaha."

Pang Yongxiang interrupted with a smile:

"We didn't do anything and got all this meat and bones for nothing. You have to let us do some work for you, otherwise we'll feel really bad, hehehehehe"

Another person also said:
"Brother Baoguo still has bear skins to take, so there's no need for him. The four of us can each take one and take it down the mountain."

The last person wanted to say something, but Wang An interrupted him:

"I have hands and feet, why would I need you? Come on, I appreciate your kindness, just take care of your own meat."

The crowd argued for a few more sentences, and under Wang An's insistence, they finally gave up the idea of ​​helping Wang An carry the bear paws down the mountain. However, Er Gangzi took the initiative to help Wang An cut a shoulder pole.

To be honest, the paw of a brown bear weighing more than 800 pounds is quite large, and looks about the same size as an adult's head.

Moreover, Wang An cut off the bear's paws from the elbows, so the weight of each bear paw was even heavier. The four bear paws added together weighed at least 100 kilograms, if not 90 kilograms.

Of course, the weight of 180 kilograms is not a problem for Wang An.

Then, Huang Baoguo, Pang Yongxiang and five others tied the meat strips and bones one by one to the two ends of the carrying pole with bark ropes. Huang Baoguo also circled the bear skin and tied it to the carrying pole, and Wang An tied four bear paws to his carrying pole.

Perhaps they felt that carrying the shiny meat like this was too eye-catching, so at Huang Baoguo's suggestion, everyone used weeds to cover the meat on the pole.

This gives the impression that each person is carrying two bundles of grass.

Finally, Er Gangzi put Yang Dachuan's knife back on the spear and put it back next to Yang Dachuan.

It must be said that Er Gangzi has perfectly interpreted the four words "borrow and return in good faith".

Although Yang Dachuan is dead, his spear is still with him.

Everything was ready. Wang An carried four bear paws, while Pang Yongxiang, Huang Baoguo and four others carried meat, bones, bear skin and bear head, and they walked down the mountain.

It must be said that carrying something on your back does save a lot of effort compared to carrying it on your back or on your shoulders.

And the entire bear was packed up and taken away.

As for the dead Yang Dachuan, no one even looked at him. They thought that as for this bastard, they could just go back and inform his family before making any plans.

On the way, I heard Pang Yongxiang discussing with Huang Baoguo and others:
"There are 26 households in Weizigou, and we all have good relations. In addition to our five households, there are 5 households. I think the five of us can each take out 21 kilograms of meat, making a total of 5 kilograms. After that, we can give each of them 8 kilograms to eat. What do you think?"

Huang Baoguo was the first to agree:

"Well, I'm fine with this. We live in the same village anyway, so it's more or less the same."

Er Gangzi said a little unconvinced:

"It doesn't matter if you give it to me or not. When the bear comes, everyone hides far away. No one comes when we call. We have almost nothing left of our crops. Now we don't even have enough food for the winter." Then, Er Gangzi said:
"If it weren't for Master Xiao An's help today, the big bear would still be causing trouble in the cornfield."

It can be seen that Er Gangzi is still quite dissatisfied with the villagers' behavior of not helping.

But he forgot that if there is no gun, it is impossible for ordinary people to help with hunting big bears.

It would be a joke if they only relied on the spears and axes in their hands to deal with the big bear.

So the people in their village chose to stand by and watch, but in fact, we can’t blame them for being ruthless.

After Er Gangzi finished speaking, Huang Baoguo said:
"Hey, there are only a few families in our village, there's no need to make the relationship so awkward. Besides, we're just watching the big bear destroying the corn, isn't it? Whoever gets close to it will die."

After Huang Baoguo finished speaking, several people fell silent. The other two people didn't say anything at all, but they obviously tended to agree with Er Gangzi's statement.

This is normal. After all, for people who only live on mushrooms and wild vegetables, the bear meat is a precious food. Even if it is sold, it will make a lot of money. So if it is divided among them, no one will be willing to give it to them.

Suddenly, Pang Yongxiang asked Wang An:

"Master Xiao An, do you think we should share some of this meat with the people in the village?"

Wang An found that the name "Master Xiao An" had completely stuck to him, because Wang An had said it many times, but Huang Baoguo didn't change it. Now, these vagrants also followed suit and called him that.

Since it couldn't be changed, Wang An simply didn't care about it. It was just a name after all.

Wang An was stunned when he heard this, mainly because he wondered what this matter had to do with him?
But Wang An thought about it and said:
"Anyway, we won't give them any points. The neighbors all know about it. If we have a good relationship with each other, we will get some points no matter what. If we give it to you and not to them, it won't make sense. It's better to do as you say, Mr. Pang."

After Wang An finished speaking, he heard Pang Yongxiang say to Er Gangzi:

"Look, Master Xiao An has said so, so you should stop being stingy. What? You won't need the help of the villagers no matter what you do in the future. What?"

In fact, Er Gangzi also knew this truth, but he just couldn't get over it for the time being.

So after Pang Yongxiang finished speaking, Er Gangzi said in a muffled voice:
"It's only 8 pounds of meat anyway, so just take it."

Just like that, amidst everyone's discussions, the group of six returned to Weizigou.

They agreed to gather together at Huang Baoguo's house after delivering the meat, and then send a letter to Yang Dachuan's family, and then everyone went home.

Soon, they sent the meat home and then came to Huang Baoguo's home.

Wang An didn't want to get involved in the Weizigou affairs, but when he thought of Yang Dachuan's two village tyrant sons, Wang An decided to go over and take a look.

The main reason was that Yang Dachuan dared to frame him for no reason. Although Yang Dachuan was dead now, Wang An was still very angry.

So Wang An wanted to see if he could come up with a scenario where the son pays off the father’s debt.

Of course, if these two brothers were more reasonable, Wang An could let them go.
