Dahei Lost His Prey
Chapter 955 Dahei Lost His Prey
Wang An picks honey differently from Mu Xueli.
Mu Xueli leaves everything clean wherever he goes, leaving nothing for the bees, while Wang An will leave a layer of honey for the bees when he digs it out.
The reason why Wang An did this was because the beehive was not too far from the village, only about twelve or thirteen miles away, which was just outside the outskirts of the village.
So if you want to pick honey again next year, you can come here and do it again.
But if he did what Mu Xueli did, then this hive of bees would most likely flee from here and find a new place to settle down. If Wang An wanted to find another beehive, it would not be an easy task.
In fact, compared with later generations, the beehives in the mountains at that time were still quite serious.
As long as you spend enough time and effort, it is not difficult to find it.
It's really not worth it to go to the mountains to look for some honey.
Besides, this thing is not easy, we can only say "not quite difficult". In fact, it is not easy at all to find this thing.
Soon, Wang An filled the two bark bags.
Although he could dig out another beehive in the bark bag if he continued to dig, Wang An did not plan to continue.
As I said, leave some food for the bees. At least they have to have enough food to survive the winter.
Because only in this way can we continue to eat honey next year.
So Wang An put out the burning mugwort rope on the tree and climbed down from the tree.
As soon as he came down, Mu Xueli and Wang Li came to meet him. Mu Xueli looked at the bark bag that Wang An took off from his waist, and subconsciously said:
"Brother-in-law, there are still a lot of beehives in there, right? Can I go up there again?"
Wang An shook his head and said:
"Don't go. There aren't many left. If you pick all of them out, the bees will surely run away. Come back next year."
When Mu Xueli heard this, he slapped his thigh and said with a bit of annoyance:
"Why didn't I think about this before I was picking honey? If I had left some for the bees, we would have honey to eat every year. Oh, I am so tired every day!"
It can be seen that Mu Xueli really regrets this matter.
After Mu Xueli finished speaking, Wang Li immediately said with a smile:
"It's not enough that you eat other people's honey, but you also have to empty their food storage. You are really good at it."
Mu Xueli rarely argued with Wang Li, and her face was full of regret.
Mu Xueli was feeling regretful, but Wang An and Wang Li were looking at her with gloating expressions on their faces.
After a while, Wang An said to Mu Xueli:
"Okay, don't think about it anymore. Get a bag, put these three bags of honey in it and hang it on the tree. Take it back with the meat before going home. After that, let's go to the waterside to eat, and then continue looking for the man-bear."
After Wang An finished speaking, Wang Li asked:
"Fourth brother, shall we take some meat over to roast?"
This time, because they were going into the mountains to hunt killer bears, and they were in the vicinity of the forest where animals were relatively scarce, Wang An did not bring the small pot into the mountains.
Wang An shook his head and said:
"We don't have time to finish the barbecue. It will take up too much time. Let's just have some pancakes for lunch. After we finish eating the pancakes and rest for a while, we will continue looking for it."
Wang Li answered casually:
"Yeah, it's so hot, it's painful to eat barbecue."
As they talked, the three of them worked together to hang the sack containing the bark bag on the tree. Then, the three of them led the horses without riding them and continued to walk towards the stream.
After walking for about a mile, the three of them arrived at the stream.
In these mountains, the water in streams like this one flowing down from the mountains is drinkable, but there is one exception, and that is when it rains.
Because when it rains, the feces of various animals, the eggs of various parasites, and various bacteria will be washed everywhere by the rain.
If you drink this kind of water directly, the worst that can happen is diarrhea.
After finding a spring, Wang An and his two companions drank some water first, then washed the wild vegetables they had dug up. Then they sat there and ate pancakes wrapped with the wild vegetables.
Place the big pancake on the flour bag, spread soybean paste on it, put big brain melon, wild onion and wild vegetables on top, roll up the pancake and you can eat it directly.
It’s not crunchy at all. Just this way of eating it will definitely make the dry and crunchy pancakes instantly rise to more than one level.
During the meal, Wang Li suddenly asked Wang An:
"Fourth brother, what should we do if we still can't find that bear after noon?"
Wang An chewed a pancake and said incoherently:
"If you can't find it, forget it. It's not our fault. What can we do?"
Wang Li swallowed the pancake in his mouth and explained:
"No, Fourth Brother, I mean if we can't find it after noon, should we go home or stay in the mountains next night?"
Wang An rolled his eyes at Wang Li and said:
"Live in the mountains? Fuck, to feed mosquitoes? I won't live in the mountains."
In fact, there are mosquitoes in this woods even during the day. Fortunately, the three of us were wrapped very tightly and were not bitten by mosquitoes.
But the most amazing thing in this woods is that as soon as the sun sets, mosquitoes will quickly swarm out.
Just go to any station and in less than a minute, you will be filled with mosquitoes from beginning to end, a dense swarm.
At that time, except for lighting the old cow's skin, even lighting the mugwort rope would be useless.
Amidst the constant chatting, the three of them finished this lunch which was not at all sumptuous.
After taking a short break and smoking a cigarette, the three of them continued to ride their horses and lead their dogs, wandering around the area.
You know what, there is an old saying that goes, "Hard work pays off."
Just when the three of them wandered to a meadow, Dahei suddenly spoke, and then the dogs howled and ran after Dahei.
The meadows in the mountains are basically flat lands washed out by mountain torrents.
To put it simply, when the flood spread, a valley was forcibly turned into a large flat land by silt.
However, it is worth noting that such meadows have abundant water, dense grass and soft soil, so it is very easy for a swamp to form somewhere in the meadow.
When Dahei spoke, the three of them couldn't help but feel happy and rode their horses to chase after Dahei and the other dogs.
Soon, the dogs and Wang An and his two companions chased to a water bubble.
But when he arrived at the small puddle of water, Dahei suddenly stopped barking and started to wander around the small puddle of water, occasionally looking up to smell, and then lowering his head to smell the water.
It is obvious that Dahei lost his prey.
