Chapter 949: Going into the Mountains to Kill a Bear
The sound of the bucket, which was like a fart, came into Wang An's ears from far away and finally woke Wang An up from his nap.
When Wang An walked out of the house rubbing his eyes, Wang Li had already parked the sidecar in the open shed.
Wang An looked at his watch. It was exactly 2:59:30 in the afternoon.
I have to say that Wang Li calculated the time really accurately. He said he would be back before 3 o'clock, and he really was back before 3 o'clock.
Seeing Wang Li humming a little tune and walking out of the open shed with a happy face, Wang An said jokingly:
"You look so beautiful that bubbles are about to come out of your mouth. Did you kiss me?"
"Da Nengdai" is a local dialect, which actually means big snot.
Wang Li shook his head and said with a smile:
"Yeah, is it necessary? Hehehehe."
Wang An continued jokingly:
"You two kissed, didn't your brother-in-law give you a beating?"
After Wang An finished speaking, Wang Li pinched his waist with his left hand, stretched his right leg forward, shook his head, and used his right hand to stroke his hair back, and said in a pretentious tone:
"He's just bragging. Even if they had the guts, they wouldn't dare to cut me."
At this time, it would be absolutely not unfair to say that Wang Li was a gangster or a second-rate person.
Seeing that Wang Li was even more pretentious than when he was fooling around, Wang An took two steps forward and kicked Wang Li in the butt, but said with a smile on his face:
"Really? Are you so awesome? Do you have a temper when I cut you?"
This kick made Wang Li stop showing off. He said with a smile on his face:
"Brother, why are you kicking me? I'm so happy."
Wang An pointed at his watch and said:
"I asked you to come back at 3 o'clock. What time did you see?"
The time at this time was neither more nor less, exactly 3 minute past 1 o'clock.
Wang Li stretched his head to look at Wang An's watch and found that the minute hand on the watch had just passed a small grid. He said with a look of grievance:
"Does it count as just one minute?"
Wang An's eyes narrowed, and he asked with a big grin:
"So what? I'm asking you, is this before three o'clock or after three o'clock?"
Wang Li glanced at his watch, smiled awkwardly at Wang An, and stopped talking.
Seeing that Wang Li didn't say anything, Wang An smiled secretly in his heart. He glanced at Wang Yi who had just left the house, and Wang An didn't continue arguing with Wang Li.
The main thing is that no matter what, we have to give Wang Li some face. After all, Wang Li was actually wronged, and Wang An simply wanted to put down Wang Li's arrogance.
So Wang An said:
"Okay, be more careful next time. Go harness the car and let's go."
Wang Li secretly glanced at Wang An and agreed with a smile:
"Okay, fourth brother."
As he spoke, Wang Li went to harness the horse.
Seeing Wang Li's happy expression, Wang An suddenly remembered a sentence he heard in his previous life, which is "The person who wronged you knows how wronged you are better than you do!"
Soon, Wang Li had harnessed the car, and Wang An also mixed the cornmeal for making nests.
After finishing their preparations, the three brothers drove the carriage and swayed back to the river.
In addition to the travel, baiting and waiting for the fish to bud, forty to fifty minutes had passed. So when Wang An cast the first net of hope, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.
This is also the time when fish come out to look for food.
So when the big horse and the mule dragged the fishing net up together, the net was full as expected.
The reason why it was said that the big horse and the mule were together was because Wang An learned from the lesson in the morning and took an extra "playing pole" when he went into the mountain in the afternoon. The "playing pole" is actually a kind of shaft pole, but this thing is much thicker and longer than a normal shaft pole.
The main function of this thing is to allow livestock to combine their strength.
The usage is also very simple, that is, just hang the thousand-dollar hook on the shaft rod on the steel rings on both sides of the pole, and then tie the thousand-dollar hook of the pole with a rope.
Wang Yi looked at the fishing net full of fish and said to Wang An excitedly:
"Brother, you are such a ruthless fisherman. This net must have 600 to 700 kilograms of fish, right?"
Wang An has gotten used to it and doesn't feel particularly happy. The main reason is that fishing in such an abundant fish resource has little to do with the level of skill.
To put it bluntly, as long as you know how to cast a net, you can catch fish no matter who comes.
Seeing Wang Yi's excitement, Wang An said with a smile:
"Next time we come fishing, you can learn how to cast the net, hahahaha"
For those who have never cast a net, casting a net to catch fish may be a pleasure, but for Wang An, this thing is no longer interesting.
Then, Wang An instructed Wang Yi:
"Please untie the net. Your fifth brother and I will go and catch the fish in that nest."
As they were talking, Wang An and Wang Li walked towards another fish nest.
In this way, when Wang An and his two companions loaded all the fish in the two nets onto the carriage, an afternoon had passed.
However, although the two nets contained a lot of decent fish, weighing a total of 1,200 to 1,300 kilograms, there were no particularly outstanding big fish.
The largest sturgeon here weighs only about 50 to 60 kilograms.
Looking at this sturgeon, Wang An suddenly realized that he should raise more sturgeons in his own fish pond.
After all, this thing has become a veritable protected fish species in later generations.
The most important thing is that because this thing is so delicious and valuable, it was hunted very heavily, to the point where there was almost no sturgeon to be seen in the river several kilometers away.
So if you want to eat delicious sturgeon meat in the future, it will be a luxury.
However, the main food of sturgeon is other fish, so there must be other fish in the fish pond.
Thinking of this, Wang An said to Wang Li and Wang Yi:
"Next time we go fishing, let's find a place with lots of sturgeons to cast our nets. I think it's better to raise sturgeons. Carp and grass carp are everywhere, and they just take up too much space in the fish pond."
Wang Li and Wang Yi nodded in agreement without saying anything more.
The next morning, Wang An was putting armor and collars on the dogs when Wang Li and Mu Xueli came over with guns on their backs, riding horses and leading the dogs.
At this time, the dogs of Wang Li and Mu Xueli were also wearing armor and collars.
To be honest, it's really hot to put armor made of a walking jacket on a dog in this season.
But there is no way. If there is no protection of armor, the dog may not be able to survive a single round in the hands of the blind bear.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Mu Xueli asked Wang An with a curious look on his face:
"Brother-in-law, I heard from Lao Wu that we are going to hunt the man-bear this time, right?"
Wang An nodded and said:
"Well, if it's not a man-bear, it's probably about the same."
Thanks to “Hei Aniu Ge” for the reward, thank you very much!
I wish you a long and successful journey, and everything goes well!
