The two men lost the hunting dogs and had no idea where the dogs were going after chasing the musk deer.
Fortunately, the little monkey Jixiang came back and led the way for them.
Just now, when a few hunting dogs were chasing the musk deer, it also jumped quickly on the tree to catch up.
The two soon saw several hunting dogs gathered together and sniffed the ground, but they did not find any trace of the musk deer.
"What's going on?"
Chen Dazhuang had a puzzled expression on his face.
"have no idea."
Chen Wang also shook his head and looked around.
Although the hunting dogs were not as fast as the musk deer, they were not much slower. With Ruyi's strong sense of smell, it was impossible for them to be completely thrown away.
The behavior of the hunting dogs over there was also a bit strange at this time.
A breeze blew, and Chen Wang suddenly sniffed and smelled a peculiar fragrance.
"Brother Zhuang, do you smell the fragrance?"
"fragrance?"
Chen Dazhuang also took a breath and nodded in surprise, "It really is, what is that smell!"
"It seems that a few dogs have discovered something. Let's go and take a look."
Chen Wang walked over.
Several hunting dogs noticed the footsteps and turned to look at them.
“Woof, woof woof!!”
Ruyi shouted excitedly.
Chen Wang walked closer quickly and found a small mound of earth on the ground where the dogs had just sniffed.
After squatting down, I immediately felt the fragrance became stronger.
Obviously, the strange fragrance seemed to come from under this small mound of earth.
"Shit, there's no sachet underneath!"
Chen Dazhuang seemed to have thought of something and exclaimed.
"The sachet of the male deer?"
Chen Wang looked up at him in surprise.
"Yes, my father said that when musk deer are in heat and mating, their scent sacs will fall off and be buried under the soil."
Chen Dazhuang explained excitedly.
Chen Wang nodded suddenly, took out a shovel from the medicine basket and shoveled off the dirt.
What soon came into view was an oval-shaped object covered with short brown hair. After opening it, one could see a black cyst-like body the size of an egg inside.
"Yes, that's it. It's a hairy musk deer. It should have just fallen off. We are rich."
Chen Dazhuang said excitedly.
Chen Wang picked it up and put it into the medicine basket, then stood up and said, "This shouldn't be the scent bag of the musk deer just now, right?"
"Of course!"
Chen Dazhuang nodded.
"That probably means that musk deer are often active in this area, and there may be more than one."
Chen Wang expressed his guess.
As soon as these words came out, Chen Dazhuang's eyes suddenly lit up.
"That's right, Awang, you're right. There may be more. Let's look for them!"
"Um!"
So the two of them took a few dogs and started a careful search.
As expected, the two of them really found two more.
With the sense of smell of a few hunting dogs, this treasure with a unique fragrance is not difficult to find.
After the hairy shell sachet is taken back to dry in the shade and the outer hairy shell is removed, the secretions inside become irregular spherical or granular shapes, which are musk kernels.
Musk is widely used in the fields of perfume and traditional Chinese medicine and has high economic value.
"That's enough, let's go back."
Chen Wang looked at the time on his watch and found that it was almost 5 o'clock.
"How about we come back here and look for it tomorrow?"
Chen Dazhuang suggested somewhat reluctantly.
"That's not necessary. The dogs have such a keen sense of smell, there's no way they wouldn't have found it if there were more."
"All right!"
"Don't be greedy, this is already a lot."
“That’s right.”
Chen Dazhuang grinned.
"Let's go!"
"Um!"
…
…
The two of them left the mountain in a happy mood and returned to the village.
Although they didn't get much meat, the musk they got was enough for the two to make a fortune.
First I arrived at the master’s house.
"Is this... musk?"
Seeing the hairy shells that Chen Wang took out from the medicine basket, Chen Jianjun spoke with surprise on his face.
"Yes, Dad, isn't this valuable?"
Chen Dazhuang asked with a smile.
"certainly."
Chen Jianjun nodded and asked curiously, "How did you get them? And three of them."
Chen Wang explained the situation with a smile.
"Your luck..."
Chen Jianjun's face was filled with speechless emotion.
Musk is not so easy to get.
Many hunters have wandered around in the mountains for half their lives and may never get this.
"They smell really good, Dad, how much can these sell for?"
Yan Yulan couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked.
"How would I know the current price? I got one when I was young, and it was a few dollars per gram at that time!"
Chen Jianjun replied.
"Then how about now, it should be several dozen yuan per gram, right?"
Chen Dazhuang said excitedly.
"Master, I'll leave this here for now and leave it to you to handle."
Chen Wang put it on the table.
Chen Jianjun nodded and said, "Okay, leave it to me. It will take a few days to dry in the shade, and then grind it into musk kernels."
"Brother Zhuang, let's divide these pheasants, rabbits and badgers!"
Chen Wang pointed at the prey that had been poured out of the sack.
"Leave two pheasants and a hare, and you can take the rest back!"
Chen Dazhuang said readily.
"You don't want the badger?"
"No, take it back and stew it. Your wife just gave birth to a child, so she needs some nourishment."
