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

Chapter 623 Absolute High Standards
Wang An had been thinking about the hanging sheep on the Qingshigang for a long time, but that thing might be the most agile and the most timid of all animals.

Whether it is its sense of smell, hearing, or vision, they are all very impressive. Overall, they are basically equivalent to those of a sika deer, but this thing's alertness is much stronger than that of a sika deer.

The most important thing is that the hanging sheep is like the blue sheep, also known as the mountain sheep. There is no road that it cannot walk on. It can go anywhere as if it were flat ground!

So generally speaking, hunting hanging sheep is dozens or even hundreds of times more difficult than hunting sika deer.

In other words, when it comes to playing this game, strength is not that important at all, it all depends on luck, and good luck is useless.

At the very least, although sika deer are very alert, they live in the woods after all, and humans can still track them.

But the hanging sheep lives its entire life at the top of the mountain, which is a very steep mountain with a very high altitude, so this thing is completely erratic and cannot be found.

Generally speaking, it’s not that Wang An doesn’t want to take advantage of the situation, but that he simply doesn’t have the ability to do so.

That's why Wang An thought about using a golden eagle. After all, a golden eagle is a large bird of prey. Even if it can't catch the hanging sheep, it can still restrain the hanging sheep, thus creating opportunities for people.

When Wang An heard Wang Dazhu say that he knew a golden eagle's nest, his mood became very happy. It was like he was sleeping and the pillow came to him immediately.

Wang An asked:
"Golden eagle's nest? A golden eagle's nest is great. Where is that golden eagle's nest? I'll go get it for it."

Wang Dazhu thought for a while and said:

"It's not too far. Just to the southwest, about 40 miles away, there is a Shilazi Mountain. The golden eagle's nest is on it."

Having been running in the mountains all the time, Wang An had a pretty good understanding of the geographical features of the mountains. So when Wang Dazhu mentioned it, Wang An immediately pictured the appearance of Shilazi Mountain in his mind.

The Shilazi Mountain is not very high, only about 180 meters. But according to the rules of eagles building nests, the golden eagle's nest must be on the steepest side of the Shilazi Mountain.

Thinking of this, Wang An had basically determined the approximate location of the golden eagle's nest, and nodded:

"Yes, I know that piece. I will go get it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Ignoring Wang An's words, Wang Dazhu continued:
"That golden eagle's nest has been there for quite a few years. I remember you weren't even born before I saw it. It's hard to say whether it's still there now."

After Wang Dazhu finished speaking, Wang An was stunned for a moment. The main reason was that the timeline was really far away. In this unfortunate situation, Wang An still had to call the two golden eagles "uncles".

The reason why we mentioned those two golden eagles and not other golden eagles is because the lifespan of eagles, including golden eagles, is quite long.

And this "quite long time" is calculated with reference to the human lifespan. The lifespan of an eagle is about 70 years.

That is to say, if nothing unexpected happens, Wang An will die of old age, but the eagle hatched from Wang An’s two eagle eggs will not be dead yet!
It really was achieved, "The man died, but the eagle is still here!"

We have to admit that the word "熬" in "熬鹰" does not only refer to the willpower, but also refers to the competition of life at the same time.

Of course, although the eagle's life is long, the golden eagles in the golden eagle's nest that Wang Dazhu mentioned may not be the two that Wang Dazhu saw that year.

After all, no one knows which of the two guys, "Tomorrow" and "Accident", will arrive first. Wang An nodded and said:

"Well, I'll go check it out tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. If there's any, I'll take it out. If not, forget it. There's no rush."

Wang Dazhu nodded, agreed casually, and started talking to Wang An about building a house.

In this way, the father and son talked all the way to the gate.

Without Wang Dazhu's reminder, Wang An rubbed his head and rubbed his hair into a mess.

Then, he moved his mouth and eyes, flexed his eyebrows, and pretended to be aggrieved after being beaten, then walked into the house.

To be honest, Wang An's facial expressions, especially his fixed facial expressions, made Wang Dazhu's eyes widen.

Wang Dazhu never expected that his eldest son could change his face faster than the opera singer.

You can show whatever expression you want, and the main point is to do whatever you want.

When the father and son entered the room, Liu Guilan took a special look at Wang An. After noticing Wang An's aggrieved expression, she nodded with satisfaction to Wang Dazhu behind Wang An.

When Wang An noticed Liu Guilan's actions out of the corner of his eye, he lowered his head and made a face at Mu Xueqing who was making a fire.

To be honest, the situation between the old couple and the young couple at this moment was quite interesting. They quietly started a battle of wits and courage again.

But one has to admit that Wang An’s 20 yuan was not wasted. He did not get beaten, his father was very happy, his mother vented her anger, and his wife’s mood improved.

In short, everyone was very satisfied, and the key was that the atmosphere was no longer so depressing and dull.

No matter what, the most important thing is that the whole family is happy.

While cooking, Wang An used the big pot in the yard to boil a large pot of hot water.

I haven't taken a bath for more than 20 days. I really can't stand it. If I wasn't eager to go home, Wang An would have gone to the county bathhouse to take a good bath, rub it carefully, and finally have a cupping.
In fact, in rural Northeast China these days, people rarely take a bath in winter. They usually just wipe their upper body with a wet towel when washing their hair, and wash their lower body when washing their feet at night.

It’s not that I don’t want to wash, but I simply don’t have the conditions to do so!

You can imagine that the temperature indoors is less than 10 degrees Celsius, and the maximum outdoor temperature is minus 20 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, taking a bath can freeze people to death.

The most important thing is that if you take a shower in such a situation with a huge temperature difference, you will basically catch a cold every time you take a shower. No one can escape this, no matter how good your physique is.

The water outside was boiling and the food in the house was ready.

Before taking a bath, eating is naturally more important. You can skip a bath, but you cannot skip a meal. After all, as the old saying goes: "Food is the first necessity of the people!"
I have to say that although Wang An made Liu Guilan angry, which led to Liu Guilan ordering Wang Dazhu to beat Wang An, the first meal arranged by Liu Guilan after Wang An came back was quite impressive!
Stewed lamb chops and lamb ribs, lamb with leeks, stewed pork bones, braised pork, steamed sturgeon, fried meatballs, braised forest frogs, and the only vegetarian dish, which is also a dish that people in Northeast China cannot do without at every meal, dipped in pickles!

A full 8 dishes, absolutely high standard!
