Wang Tianxiao doesn't really understand these advanced scientific concepts. Much of his information comes from the internet, and with his limited abilities, he can't distinguish things clearly and can only accept them critically.
"Dad, look at my little brother's fingers! They're so short, not even as long as my smallest finger!" Wang Fang adored her little brother, spending almost all her time by his side, kissing his cheek every now and then.
“Your little brother is still small. When you were born, your fingers were shorter than his,” Wang Tianxiao said with a smile.
He gently put his arm around his wife's shoulder, looked at their two children, and felt a deep warmth in his heart.
He has a son and a daughter, a virtuous wife, and doesn't have to worry about others' opinions in life. He has basically fulfilled a man's ultimate dream.
I couldn't help but secretly thank God. What virtue or ability did I, Wang Tianxiao, have to be able to live such a life that I could only dream of?
"You smell fishy, don't touch the child's face."
His wife saw that he still wanted to pinch Xiao Wangpeng's cheeks and quickly reminded him.
Upon hearing this, he quickly withdrew his hand. He had just been handling the deer and it had picked up some of the smell. Although he had changed his outer clothes, he guessed that there was still some fishy smell left on his hair and hands.
I hurriedly got off the kang (heated brick bed) and washed my hair with laundry detergent, while also cleaning my hands.
After tidying up and changing into clean clothes, he said to Li Yali, "Okay, I'm going to the city now. Is there anything you want to eat? I'll bring it back for you."
"No need, Brother Wu makes all sorts of delicious food every day, I'm almost tired of it, you should thank him properly."
"Yes, don't worry, I know."
What are you going to the city for?
"I went to buy several dozen catties of wine. I just killed a deer and drained some blood, about ten catties. Deer blood is not easy to store, but making it into deer blood wine will make it much easier to preserve."
"Okay, go ahead then. Be careful on the road."
"Okay."
As Wang Tianxiao spoke, he didn't move immediately, but just looked at his wife. Li Yali looked at him in confusion, "Why don't you just leave? Why are you staring at me like that?"
Wang Tianxiao pointed to his right cheek with his finger.
Li Yali's face flushed red. She gestured with her mouth towards the child, indicating that the child was there and how could he be so shameless, this lewd boy.
But Wang Tianxiao wouldn't let it go, and even pretended to bring his face close to his wife.
Having no other choice, Li Yali took advantage of a moment when her daughter wasn't paying attention and gave her husband a light peck on the cheek. "Alright, go on, go on."
"Ha ha."
Wang Tianxiao left triumphantly.
Seeing Liu Yuanzheng sitting on a large rock at the mouth of the mountain ridge, sunbathing, Wang Tianxin sat close to him, seemingly chatting with him.
Wang Tianxiao knew that Wang Tianxin was up to no good. He must have been impressed by Liu Yuan's hunting and slingshot making skills and wanted the old man to teach him a thing or two.
Wang Tianxiao did not object to this.
His hope for Wang Tianxin is that he can live in the mountains in the future, whether it is hunting now or planting medicinal herbs in the future, it will be a career.
Only through continuous struggle will he gradually mature and become a responsible and mission-driven young man.
Instead of letting idleness lead to decadence.
"Uncle, please watch the deer for me. I'm going to the city to buy some wine. Deer blood doesn't keep well, and it'll be a loss if it spoils."
Liu Yuan laughed and said, "If you want the old man to help you with the work, you can't get him to do it without buying me a pot of wine."
“Sure, Uncle, what kind of wine do you like to drink? I’ll get some for you on my way back,” Wang Tianxiao said with a smile. “Or I can get a lot and share some with you when I get back.”
"It's just the baijiu in our Qingcheng bar. I'm an old man and I don't like the taste of baijiu from other places."
"OK."
As Wang Tianxiao was about to leave on his motorcycle, he suddenly stopped and said to Liu Yuan with a grin, "Uncle, didn't we bring back some honey dogs today..."
"What, you still want me to skin you?"
"How about five jin (2.5 kg) of 65-proof Qingcheng Baijiu?"
"What do you think?" Liu Yuan scoffed.
"Then how about ten pounds? Would you consider it?"
Liu Yuan tapped his pipe on the ground and patted Wang Tianxin on the head. "Didn't you want to learn skills from this old man? Come on, today I'll teach you the most basic skill of a good hunter: skinning."
"Huh?" Wang Tianxin was still a little scared.
"What, you can't even stretch out your hand to skin something, yet you want to make a living in the mountains? You really look down on the wild animals in these mountains."
Liu Yuan stood up, picked up the short knife Wang Tianxiao had used to clean the deer, and said irritably, "I'll only teach you once. If you want to learn, hurry up and come over. If you don't want to learn, don't bother me anymore. You're not a young lady, why are you bothering this old man?"
“Brother…” Wang Tianxin looked at Wang Tianxiao with a bitter expression.
Wang Tianxiao chuckled, stepped on the gas, and the motorcycle kicked up a cloud of dust before quickly disappearing down the mountain road.
After hesitating for a long time, Wang Tianxin finally stood up with a bitter face and went to Liu Yuan's side.
There were nine honey dogs in total. Six of them had already been bled, and the rest hadn't. Liu Yuan first cut open the honey dogs' throats to drain their blood before hanging one of them on an iron hook on a tree and starting to skin it.
“Watch closely. Honeybee pelts are easy to skin. If you want to skin deer, wolves, wild boars, or even bears in the future, you have to start with the simplest thing: honeybee pelts. If you can’t do this, then you should go back to the plains as soon as possible. You’re not suited to living in the mountains.”
"I'm a little scared." Wang Tianxin looked at the blood-red honey dog with a troubled expression.
“You come from the same family, look at your brother, he does everything in a swift and decisive manner, why don’t you learn from him?”
Mentioning his brother, Wang Tianxin suddenly remembered many things. He clenched his fist, mustered his courage, and said to Liu Yuan, "Let's give it a try. If my brother can do it, I definitely can too."
"Aren't you afraid anymore?"
"I'm not afraid!"
"real?"
"Of course it's true. A real man's word is his bond."
Liu Yuan then laughed and called out, "What are you standing there for? Come here, follow the cut I made... Yes, like this, take it slow. Don't you understand why I told you to take it slow? If you cut the skin like this, how can you sell it? Nobody will even want it. Yes, yes, yes... just like this..."
The sun had passed its zenith, and the wind began to blow on the mountain ridge. An old man and a young boy were working on a honey dog skin that had been cut into pieces.
One moment the old man was so angry he was jumping up and down, the next the boy was stabbing the honey dog in the body with a knife and preparing to turn around and quit.
But soon, the exasperated boy patiently explained and taught him step by step, while the boy who said he wasn't going to continue never truly left.

Second floor of Wenyuan Hotel.
"What is this, Old Wang?"
Zhang Wenyuan looked at the things wrapped in newspapers on the table and asked curiously.
Wang Tianxiao smiled mysteriously.
"Anyway, it's good stuff. I had a hard time getting this, it's absolutely fresh."
"Look at how mysterious you are," Zhang Wenyuan said, slowly unfolding the newspaper with a hint of disbelief. Before he could fully open it, his expression suddenly froze, followed by overwhelming joy.
