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

Chapter 378 Big Claws

Upon hearing this, Wang Dazhu, Wang An and Wang Li's faces suddenly changed and they stood up from the ground.

Only Niu Dazhuang didn't understand what was going on. He squatted on the ground, turning his head back and forth, looking at the four people with great curiosity.

The appearance of a tiger near the village is definitely not good news.

You have to know that tigers have a huge appetite and eat dozens of kilograms of meat every day.

But the question is, if the tiger can't catch prey, where will the meat come from?

Wang Dazhu stood up and immediately asked solemnly, "Tell me in detail, what happened?"

Liu Guilan said in a somewhat panicked tone, "I just went to the grocery store. The third kid from the Zhang family is Zhang Aimin."

It turned out that people in the shop were talking about Zhang Aimin driving a sled into the mountains to chop firewood, and after entering the mountains he tied the mule to a tree.

Zhang Aimin originally wanted to gather the beaten wood into small piles, and when there were enough to fill a sled, he would load the sled with them. However, he did not expect that when Zhang Aimin returned, the mule pulling the sled had died.

Not only did the mule die, but a lot of its meat was also eaten. If the mule had not been harnessed to a sled, it might have been dragged away.

Judging from the huge plum blossom footprints, the beast that bit the mule to death was definitely Big Claw.

When Zhang Aimin discovered this, he ran back home without caring about anything.

As for the dead mule, sled, and broken wood boxes, Zhang Aimin threw them all into the mountains.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with what Zhang Aimin did. But what if the tiger comes back because it is not full?
Even if a tiger saw Zhang Aimin standing in front of the dead mule, he would probably be in trouble because the tiger would think that Zhang Aimin was stealing its food.

There is no carnivore in the mountains that does not protect its food. As the king of beasts, will the tiger tolerate someone snatching its food?

After listening to Liu Guilan's story, Wang Dazhu and the other two looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces became more solemn.

Wang An and Wang Li immediately thought of the tiger that Feng Chengmin mentioned, which should still be rampant in Yushutun.

If nothing unexpected happens, this tiger and that tiger may be the same tiger.

Because tigers are not common, and can even be said to be very rare.

The key is this thing's territorial awareness, which is quite strong.

As the saying goes, "There can't be two tigers in one mountain, unless they are one male and one female." In fact, this is not true.

Because no matter whether it is a male tiger or a female tiger, after mating, they will still fight each other. In short, one tiger must leave.

Under normal circumstances, if a tiger appears within a few hundred kilometers, there will definitely not be a second one.

When Wang An and Wang Li thought of this, they couldn't help but look at each other again. The two brothers saw what they were thinking in each other's eyes.

This is fucking big trouble!

Suddenly, Liu Guilan asked anxiously, "Xiao An, you guys aren't going into the mountains these days, are you?"

Wang An saw his anxious mother and immediately replied:

"No, I don't plan to go into the mountains these days."

After hearing Wang An's answer, Liu Guilan immediately relaxed and no longer felt panicky or anxious.

And he muttered, "It's okay if we don't go into the mountain, it's okay if we don't go into the mountain."

Wang An saw the change in his mother's expression and immediately understood why she panicked when she entered the yard just now. Wang An then said, "My uncle told me about the big claw a few days ago, but the tiger was still in Yushu Village at that time. I didn't expect it to come to us so soon."

Wang Dazhu sighed, "Yeah, this thing moves really fast. Let's go back to the mountains and don't waste time here."

To be honest, what Wang An was most worried about was actually his own home. Now the tiger was already wandering around the village, and there was no guarantee that it would not run into the village when it got too hungry.

No matter whether it is the smell of yellow sheep, sika deer, or roe deer, they can all be smelled from several miles away. For a tiger, that is a perfect coordinate.

The most important thing is the safety of family members.

Because Feng Chengmin said that this tiger had eaten people in Yushutun.

As long as a wild beast has eaten a human, it will lose all fear of humans. From then on, in the eyes of the wild beast, humans will be included in its diet.

This is the most fucked up thing!
After talking about the tiger, several people continued to squat and unload the fish with worries.

Liu Guilan was relaxed because Wang An did not go into the mountains. After seeing the two big fish that had been half caught, she praised Wang An and the other two seriously.

I have to say, although the two big fish are not small, the meat yield is not high at all.

A large sturgeon weighing 80 to 90 kilograms, after removing the head, bones and internal organs, only has more than kilograms but less than kilograms of pure meat.

From a catfish weighing 25 to kilograms, only about kilograms of pure meat were produced.

But what was surprising was that the giant sturgeon was a female fish, and the fish eggs alone weighed more than ten kilograms.

Although Niu Dazhuang contributed the least, Wang An still couldn't argue with someone with such an IQ problem.

So Wang An divided the meat, bones and livers of the two big fish, all the small fish, and the fish roe of the big sturgeon into three portions.

The division is not particularly accurate, but it is almost the same.

However, the two huge fish heads were kept by Wang An himself.

There is basically no meat in the heads of small fish, but the meat in the heads of big fish like this one is quite substantial.

Niu Dazhuang looked at the sacks filled with fish and was as excited as a child. He said frankly that he would go fishing with Wang An tomorrow.

After Wang An said a few words of comfort with a smile, he harnessed the sled and helped Wang Li and Niu Dazhuang take the fish back home.

In fact, it was not necessary to send it, because the entire sack of fish weighed only a little over 100 kilograms, but Wang An was really worried about Niu Dazhuang carrying the fish back by himself.

The key issue is that Niu Dazhuang's IQ is really low. If he carries the fish meat to someone else's house and is fooled by the latter, then the fish meat will be given to him for nothing.

People who don’t know would think that the meat was embezzled by Wang An!
Being wronged is secondary, Wang An doesn't care, but for things like this, the main thing is whether it is easy to explain or not.

Isn't it shameful to bully a fool?

Wang Li was sent first, and then Niu Dazhuang. When Wang An arrived at Niu Dazhuang's house, Niu Dazhuang's grandfather, also known as Old Man Niu, was weaving baskets.

Mr. Niu, who is over 70 years old, is quite tough. But if he is not tough, there is nothing he can do. Having a grandson like Niu Dazhuang who has no father or mother is really a headache for him.

Old Man Niu was very surprised to see Wang An sending his grandson back.

However, after hearing Niu Dazhuang shouting "Grandpa, fish, Grandpa, fish", I suddenly understood what was going on.

The old man instantly became enthusiastic.
