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

Chapter 372 Silver Ocean

Feng Chengmin stabbed the three horses to make them bleed, and after Wang An and his two companions stripped the corpses of their clothes, they continued the same old operation.

Burn all clothes, shoes and hats.

It was not until this time that Wang An saw who the person was who had soles nailed on the front of his leather shoes but was not killed by the cannon.

But we only know a rough estimate because the man was shot twice in the head, but one of the bullets entered from the back of the head.

This results in a piece of the person's entire face being missing, and it is impossible to tell what he looks like.

Of course, none of this matters, as long as he's dead.

Just as Wang An was driving the sled to dump the body, Feng Chengmin, who was skinning and removing meat from the horse, suddenly said:

"About two and a half miles west of here, there is a really deep ditch."

Upon hearing this, Wang An, Mu Xueli and Wang Li turned their eyes to Feng Chengmin almost at the same time.

I have to say that Feng Chengmin is really familiar with these mountains!

After Feng Chengmin noticed the looks of the three people, he smiled seriously and proudly, with an expression of "You didn't expect this" on his face.

Then the three of them turned their heads at the same time in tacit understanding and did what they were supposed to do.

No matter what, even though the four of them killed someone together this time, no one admitted to having killed anyone before.

No matter how you ask, they don't understand and have never killed anyone.

When Wang An drove the sled back, Feng Chengmin and his two companions had already skinned the three horses and were removing the meat from them.

Wang An immediately stepped forward to help and speed up the unloading of the meat.

Speaking of horsehide, in fact, horsehide, like donkey skin, is very valuable, and it is much more expensive than cowhide.

On the one hand, this is very good leather, and the leather of the front and back halves of a horse are also different.

The horsehide on the front half of the body is thinner and looser, accounting for about three-quarters of the total area. It is used as ordinary leather and can be used to make shoes and clothes.

But the leather on the back half is tighter, which is more awesome because it can be used to make waterproof leather shoes.

In particular, the skin on both sides of the horse's buttocks, called "butt skin", is quite wear-resistant and can also be used to sharpen knives.

On the other hand, horse skin has medicinal value. It can be burned into ashes to treat psoriasis.

After Wang An and his four companions unloaded the meat, they loaded the horse meat, horse skin and offal onto the sled without waiting for the horse meat to freeze, and then drove the sled home.

As for the horse head and hooves, they were thrown into the bushes, mainly because there was not much meat on them and they took up too much space, so there was no place to put them.

They sped all the way without any delay, and two hours later, Wang An and his three companions returned to Wang An's home.

At this time, the east room of Wang An's house was filled with smoke, but the scene was quite quiet. Except for the "sizzling" sound of people smoking, no one was talking.

It was obvious that everyone was worried about the safety of Wang An and the other three.

When they saw Wang An and his three companions returning safely, everyone in the room immediately burst into laughter.

However, everyone tacitly agreed not to ask about the follow-up and simply ignored the horse meat and 56 and a half that the four people brought back.

The result is good, that's enough.

After a sumptuous lunch, everyone started the most important task of the day, which was to "divide the spoils."

There is nothing wrong with calling it “dividing the spoils”, because although these things were obtained through everyone’s hard work, in essence, they can indeed be considered “stolen goods”.

But no one, including Wang An, would think so, because they all have no diploma.

Isn't it stupid to discuss the issue of whether something is "dirty" or not with someone who has no diploma?
In everyone’s perception, these things are treasures, treasures that belong only to everyone.

In order to divide up these treasures, Wang Dazhu even went to a small shop to borrow a scale. The first thing to be divided was the "treasures" in the tomb.

According to weight, Wang An divided all the gold and silver in the coffin into 16 portions, and Wang An and his son Wang Dazhu each received 2 portions.

Of course, this is also the result of everyone's unanimous discussion.

When sorting the jade pieces, Wang An was a little troubled. After all, the price of jade pieces is actually based on the material and craftsmanship.

Fortunately, people without a diploma tend to think in a very simple and easy-to-understand way, so everyone agreed that jade articles should also be weighed.

The main point is "not bad"!
To be honest, when this distribution method was proposed, Wang An was confused.

I have only heard that the raw materials of jade articles are weighed on a scale, but I have never heard of weighing things that have been carved into shapes.

However, Wang An thought about it carefully and suddenly felt that this method made a lot of sense.

No matter what kind of jade it is, it is essentially jade. If the weight is not different, then it is not much different.

There's nothing wrong with this!
So, he continued to move the weight.

When distributing the porcelain, everyone just symbolically took a plate or two bowls or something.

Because when everyone was digging these things out, they knew that Wang An attached great importance to these porcelains. If Wang An hadn't asked everyone to be careful, perhaps only one in ten of these porcelains would remain.

As for the big money, everyone simply ignored it.

Because just when Wang An was about to divide it, Feng Chengmin said to Wang An:

"What's the use of this thing? I still have half a basket in my house. If you want it, you can come to my house someday when you have time and take it all away."

Liu Deyuan also said: "Yes, I have half a bag at home. If you want, I will send it to you someday."

In fact, in this era, almost every family has a lot of money, and many families have a lot of money, not too young.

But this thing is really useless. Sometimes kids throw it like a dart, and if it’s lost, they won’t even bother to look for it.

Sometimes when you stroll around the village, it is normal to pick up this kind of thing.

Wang An also knew that this thing was worthless and useless until he was arrested.

So Wang An didn't continue to worry about the huge sum of money, but moved the jar left by his ninth brother onto the kang.

After opening it, he poured everything inside onto the kang. When everyone saw the pile of things on the kang, their breathing became rapid.

Especially the elders like Wang Dashu, their eyes lit up when they saw the things on the kang.

There were only two things that came out of the jar, gold bars and silver dollars.

Not to mention gold bars, silver dollars are silver dollars, commonly known as silver egg dollars.

Most of these silver coins are Yuan Datou, and there are also a small number of silver coins with President Sun Yat-sen’s portrait and Guangxu Yuanbao.

It can also be seen that what made Wang Dashu and others' eyes shine was not gold bars, but silver dollars.

People who have experienced the era before the New China seem to have a special obsession and affection for silver dollars. Gold bars, jade, and jewelry are all little brothers compared to silver dollars.

Because before the establishment of New China, in the land of China, only the silver dollar was the most stable currency.

All those banknotes are paper, and they are the kind of waste paper that is too hard to even be used to wipe your butt.

But it must be said that although Wang Dashu and others all had shining eyes, no one took the initiative to step forward and pick up one to play with and look at it.

Wang An started scoring without saying anything.

　I'm really sorry, something delayed me, thank you for your support and likes, thank you!
