From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 76 Negotiation
"Going up the mountain to hunt?" The soldier was stunned. He didn't react for a moment.

In the past month or two, whenever the weather was a little better, he would follow Jiang Yao to wander around the villages around the county town.

Although Jiang Yao was not sure how much money he made from hunting birds, he definitely knew how much he earned every day.

In the beginning, it was not a problem to just go around a village and shoot dozens of birds, but now it is an undeniable fact that birds are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

Hearing Jiang Yao talking about wanting to go hunting in the mountains, Bingzi was puzzled. He tentatively said, "My uncle-in-law and his family live in the mountains, close to the town. There may be a lot of birds, but other prey is hard to find."

"If you want to have a good harvest when hunting there, you have to go deep into the mountains."

"I heard from my uncle-in-law that in the mountains there, there are not only wild rabbits and wild boars, but also tigers and leopards."

"In the early years when guns were not banned, many people would go into the mountains to hunt during the slack season. But now, there are few people who dare to go into the mountains without weapons."

"Uncle Yao, we can go bird hunting every day with a slingshot in hand. If we really want to go to the mountains with my uncle and his family, I will always feel uneasy if I don't have two shotguns!"

……

While speaking, Bingzai observed Jiang Yao's expression.

Men, naturally, tend to develop an interest in guns or hunting.

When the soldier thought about the wonderful scene of himself carrying a hunting rifle, walking in the deep mountains and forests, hunting prey one after another amid the sound of gunfire, his mouth started to water and his blood started to boil.

After all, young people of their age are like this.

"Are there tigers and leopards in the deep mountains over there?" Jiang Yao was shocked when he heard Bingzai say that.

He had always thought that it would be good enough to find some wild boars in the mountains within Taoyuan County, but there shouldn't be any tigers or leopards.

If he hadn't heard it from Bingzai, he really wouldn't have known about these things.

"Yes!" The soldier nodded with certainty and added, "Just a few years ago, my uncle's family's livestock was taken away by a tiger in their village."

"But that thing is now a protected animal. Anyone who dares to hunt it will be caught and imprisoned for at least several years."

"Once we enter the deep mountains over there, we can't fight tigers and leopards. It's not a big deal if we just fight wild boars or something like that."

"Uncle Yao, it's hard to get a hunting rifle right now. If we go into the mountains without a weapon, how can we defeat those beasts?"

……

Frowning and thinking for a while, Jiang Yao nodded and responded: "You should know something about my ability. It doesn't matter if we can't get a gun. As long as we are well prepared, we should be able to deal with it even if we encounter a ferocious beast."

It's not long before the Chinese New Year, and the price of pork, which used to be five or six yuan per catty, has now risen to seven yuan. If the game hunted in the mountains is brought to the county to sell, I wouldn't say how much it would cost, but a starting price of ten yuan per catty should be safe.

Although he couldn't hunt tigers and leopards, if he was lucky enough to come across a wild boar, he might earn more than he would have if he had hunted birds in a month.

When he thought of this, Jiang Yao's heart was already burning with anger.

"I'm sure of Uncle Yao's abilities. If you say you can do it, I absolutely believe you." After hearing what Jiang Yao said, Bingzai's eyes lit up.

Hanging around with Jiang Yao every day, no one knows Jiang Yao's abilities better than him.

When shooting birds, Jiang Yao held a slingshot in his hand as a cover, but sometimes when there was no one around, he was too lazy to pick up the slingshot and would just stare at the bird, and it would fall from the tree by itself.

Having seen this scene several times, Bingzai already regarded him as a god and worshipped him. After two dry laughs, Bingzai quickly added: "Whenever you go up the mountain, you must count me in. Uncle Yao, you eat the meat and I will just drink some soup."

As the two were chatting, Tong Gang and a few friends appeared at the door of the dance hall.

In the eyes of some people, dance halls are smoky and not decent places, and those who come to such places to play are basically ruffians and gangsters.

However, this view is too one-sided.

After all, there were no entertainment activities in that era. At night, unless one could stay at home and watch TV, places like dance halls, billiard rooms, and game rooms naturally became the best places for young people to kill time.

There are so many young people of this generation who like to hang out in dance halls. For most of them, it is very normal to go to dance halls to have fun when they have nothing to do.

"Jiang Yao, Bingzi!"

After the Huang Cuicui incident, Tong Gang's relationship with Jiang Yao and the others naturally became much stronger. He immediately came over while greeting them: "Why are you standing outside? Why don't you come in?"

"The dance hall has already started, and they are playing a slow dance piece. Isn't this what Jiang Yaoni is best at?"

"Don't you feel good about dancing with a girl in your arms? What are you doing here chatting with two soldiers?"

Taking out a pack of cigarettes, Tong Gang handed one to each of Jiang Yao and the other man, and joked with a smile.

The friends who were with him also knew Jiang Yaobingzai, but their relationship was not that close.

After stopping for a while and saying hello, they went into the ballroom first.

"What do you mean I'm best at the slow four? I can't dance any other dances, I only know how to dance this, okay!"

Jiang Yao rolled his eyes and chuckled, continuing, "It's almost the New Year, and I want to make more money. Bingzi and I are discussing business!"

"In a few days, we are going to go hunting in the deep mountains of Yangxi Town. If you are interested, I will count you in."

He had no intention of hiding this matter from Tong Gang.

After all, hunting in the mountains is different from hunting birds around the county town. After chatting with Bingzai for half a day and getting to know the mountainous area in Yangxi Town a little, Jiang Yao has already set his hunting target on prey such as wild boars. As for hunting birds, it is just a by-product.

Since he had such a plan in mind, if only he and Bingzai went up the mountain, it might not be enough!
"Hunting, okay, then I must be included!"

"I heard that Bingzai followed you to hunt birds every day and made a lot of money."

"I don't ask for too much from following you, Jiang Yao. I just want some money for cigarettes."

Without giving it any further thought, Tong Gang patted his chest and agreed without saying a word.

"No matter whether you can make money or not, you won't be shortchanged for cigarette money!" Jiang Yao said, rolling his eyes at Tong Gang.

"Okay then, it's settled!" Tong Gang responded happily.

Standing at the door of the dance hall, the few of them chatted for a while.

Seeing more and more girls entering the dance hall, Jiang Yaotong and a few others finally walked into the dance hall.

PS: I have always thought that there are no tigers or leopards in our county. The place the protagonist is going to is based on our Wuyunjie Nature Reserve. But when I checked, I found that there are not only leopards, but also wild South China tigers...
