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

Chapter 1188 This thing really keeps you full

It should be noted that Huang Zhong lived in a dugout, which was much better than living in a shack.

Huang Zhong had lived in a dugout since childhood, so he knew all too well how miserable it was to spend the night in the mountains.

After Huang Zhong finished speaking, Wang An chuckled and said to Wang Li:

"Did you hear that? Fifth brother, the three of us want to go back. If you want to spend the night in the mountains, then go ahead and stay there. I definitely won't stop you."

Upon hearing that none of the three Wang Ans wanted to spend the night in the mountains, Wang Li immediately changed his mind and said with a grin:

"I was just saying that. Actually, I also want to go home. It's freezing cold in these mountains. If I stay here for one night, I'll freeze to death."

Wang An rolled his eyes at Wang Li and said:

"Look at you, you good-for-nothing. You three hurry up and get it done before I get back."

The three agreed, and Wang An turned and left.

This time, the chase for the bear was quite long, covering more than ten miles from the sled. So, in order to get home as soon as possible, Wang An walked very fast.

Fortunately, when Wang An returned to the sled, he walked on two legs, but when he went to Wang Li and the other two, he drove the sled.

Even so, it was already two hours later when Wang An arrived at Wang Li and the other two in his sled.

At this moment, Wang Li, Mu Xueli, and Huang Zhong had already dismembered the entire bear into pieces of meat and bones. They were sitting on the bear's fur, bragging and talking nonsense, looking quite relaxed and comfortable.

To be honest, this bear's fur was truly enormous; if the whole thing were laid out on the snow, it would cover an area larger than a double bed.

Wang Li and Mu Xueli would frequently point their guns at each other's faces or gesture at the other two, seemingly discussing how to use the guns more conveniently and accurately.

Wang An stopped his eldest son's horse and then said with a smile to the three men:
"You guys got it done pretty quickly, when did you finish?"

The three of them stood up together. Mu Xueli handed the four large bear fangs in her hand to Wang An, and said with a grin:

"It was finished a little while ago, brother-in-law. Didn't you think about it? With me there, it would have been much faster. With my unpredictable knife skills, dismantling a big bear would have been a piece of cake, hehehehehe."

And you know what? Mu Xueli really did blow her own horn, because whether it was Wang An or Wang Li, or even if you tied the two of them together, they were no match for Mu Xueli when it came to skinning and butchering the prey.

Mu Xueli and Wang Li have now made it a habit that no matter what prey they hunt, as long as it has tusks, they will knock off its tusks and give them to Wang An, because they know that Wang An has a hobby of collecting animal tusks.

Wang An now has half a bag full of various animal tusks, including tiger tusks, leopard tusks, lynx tusks, wolf tusks, jackal tusks, wild boar tusks, badger tusks, and musk deer tusks—he has everything imaginable.

Of course, the most precious items here are the tiger's fangs and the leopard's fangs. You know, in ten or twenty years, these two kinds of fangs will be incredibly valuable. Even now, people are still going around asking for these two kinds of fangs to use for exorcising evil spirits or suppressing souls and other strange things.

Wang An smiled and glanced at Mu Xueli, praising her as follows:
"Alright, stop showing off. I'll let you off the hook this time, okay? Hahahaha."

It has to be said that when Wang An saw the pile of disassembled meat, he was in a really good mood, mainly because it meant that he could hold his two little darlings in his arms and cherish them tonight.

Nothing else matters as much as happiness and joy, these two precious things.

After the four of them worked together to load all the meat and bones with meat on Wang Li and Mu Xueli's sleds, they sat on Wang An's sled and sped home. In the past, although there was meat on the bones, the three of them would only take the meatiest pieces home, usually only taking a small portion.

It was only because Mu Xueqing needed to drink soup every day that Wang An packed the entire bear's bones into the soup.

To be honest, this bear had a really lot of bones; they filled half a sled.

On the way, Mu Xue tightened the collar of her cotton coat and said to Wang An:

"Brother-in-law, I'm starving. How about we find a place up ahead, eat, and then head home?"

After Mu Xueli finished speaking, Wang Li also said:
"Fourth Brother, you're right. The hungrier you are, the colder you feel. I'm not even feeling the cold in this cotton-padded coat."

Although Huang Zhong was also very hungry, he didn't say anything, but just swallowed hard as he looked at the meat and bones on the two sleds behind him.

Hiking in the mountains during this season, especially riding a sled, anyone without food in their stomach will become very vulnerable to the cold.

Wang An turned to look at the three people, thought for a moment, took out three chocolates from his pocket, and handed one to each of them, saying with a smile:
"One piece each, and we won't be hungry anymore. We'll have hot pot when we get back."

The chocolates Wang An pulled out were the ones he had seized from human traffickers when he rescued Huang Li and the others.

However, this kind of pure chocolate is really not very appealing, so when Wang An brought it home, his family only tasted it, and no one ate any.

In particular, Ms. Wang Xiaomei and Ms. Wang Xiaoli said that the chocolate was made of Chinese medicine pills and tasted extremely bitter.

Wang Li took the chocolate, looked at it, and said with a bitter face:
"Fourth Brother, this thing is rotten and tastes awful, why are you still keeping it?"

To be honest, Wang An doesn't really like eating this stuff either, not even sugary chocolate.

Hearing Wang Li's complaints, Wang An glared at him and said:

"Do you know how expensive this stuff is in the city? A piece the size of a finger would cost more than three pounds of flour. The one you have in your hand is worth at least ten pounds of flour."

After saying that, Wang An rolled his eyes at Wang Li and said:

"Eat up quickly, or I'll kick you."

So, under Wang An's tyranny, Wang Li peeled the chocolate in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

Mu Xueli and Huang Zhong, on the other hand, didn't have so many problems. Although they knew that chocolate didn't taste good, they had already eaten it.

After a while, Wang Li said to Wang An in a sly tone:
"You know what, chocolate really keeps you full. Fourth Brother, do you have any more? Can I have another piece?"

To everyone's surprise, Wang An said without turning his head:

"Get lost, why would I carry those chocolates with me?"
