Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

"I……"

Wu Xiaoli's mind went blank; she was in no condition to make any reasonable judgments.

Wu Xiaoli, who had been pampered since childhood, burst into tears, her eyes vacant as she sobbed.

Seeing his daughter's appearance, Wu Guochang sighed: "Sigh! Otherwise, you should secretly give birth to the child!"
I'll figure out someone to temporarily take care of her later! I'll look for a partner later; let's focus on saving the baby first!

"I'll do whatever you say!"

Wu Xiaoli was no longer smug; her heart was filled with resentment at being schemed against.

"Let's leave it at that for now! What can I say about you? You've completely disgraced the Wu family!"

Wu Guochang looked at his daughter and shook his head helplessly, not knowing what to say.

The next day, Wu Xiaoli submitted a report to her workplace requesting a long-term leave of absence and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Nobody knows where she went except for Yue Feng and a few of his friends. They believe she's gone to find a place to rest and have a baby.

Yue Feng used a scheme to help Xiao Wen get rid of this hot potato, and the weight in his heart was finally lifted.

The next day, after finishing his business, Yue Feng called the village office where Li Guangkun was located, and the two quickly got in touch.

"Hello! Is this Brother Li? This is Yue Feng!"

"It's me, Brother Yue. Are you done with the household chores?"

Li Guangkun was very excited. He had been anxious and worried every day for the past few days, fearing that Yue Feng would change his mind and cut off contact with him.

"Okay, I'm done with things at home. When would be a convenient time for you to come over? Let me know once you've booked your ticket, and I'll pick you up at the station!"

"I can leave anytime; everything has been arranged at home!"

"Then you should buy your train tickets first. Contact me once you've booked the train. Don't worry about the rest! Come stay with me for a few days, and then we'll take the train to Beijing together!"

"it is good!"

……

After hanging up the phone, Li Guangkun's clenched fist slowly relaxed.

Finally, we can set off! This trip to visit friends is an opportunity to broaden our horizons and see how professionals abroad raise and train eagles, breed birds of prey, and develop the industry!
After hanging up the phone, Li Guangkun took his luggage to the train station that same day and bought a ticket for the earliest train to Fengcheng.

On the other side, Yue Feng also received the itinerary arrangements from Li Guangkun over the phone.

Judging from the time it takes, it will take Li Guangkun more than a day to get there by train, so Yue Feng can prepare some food and other necessities in advance, which is more than enough time.

A day later, Li Guangkun walked out of the train station carrying a large suitcase.

From a distance, I could see Yue Feng leaning against his tricycle, waiting for me, on the roadside opposite the station hall, holding a large cardboard sign.

The sign, written in striking red letters, read: "Welcome Li Guangkun, a descendant of Yingtun, to visit and provide guidance!"

"Over here!!" Yue Feng spotted Li Guangkun from a distance and immediately strode over to him.

"Brother Yue! Haha, long time no see!!" Li Guangkun walked over and met up with him, shaking hands warmly.

"Brother Li, you're just joking. I've only been away from your house for a few days! Were you getting impatient?" Yue Feng took the bag from the other man's hand and joked with a smile.

"I'm not lying to you at all. Ever since you left, I've been waiting for your call like it's an eternity! I was just worried that something might have happened at home that might have gotten in the way!"

"Hehe, there were some trivial things at home, but I've taken care of them all! Get on the bike, let's go home first!" Yue Feng called out, leading the other person to his motorcycle.

Li Guangkun was a worldly-wise adult who had ridden in cars with Beijing license plates, but he was still slightly taken aback when he saw Yue Feng's military-plated three-wheeled motorcycle.

"You borrowed this car from a friend just to pick me up?"

Li Guangkun looked the motorcycle up and down, quite surprised by its unique design.

Yue Feng grinned: "I guess so! Get in the car first, we'll talk about everything else when we get home!"

"This is a great thing! It's my first time sitting in one!"

Li Guangkun got on the motorcycle, touching it on the left and looking at it on the right, showing considerable curiosity.

"Hold on tight, we're coming!"

Yue Feng gave a shout, shifted gears and twisted the throttle, and soon the motorcycle was speeding up, heading straight home.

The two chatted loudly for a while along the way, but the wind was strong and they couldn't understand each other. It wasn't until Yue Feng rode his motorcycle into the village that they slowed down.

The car stopped in front of the new house, and Yue Feng got out: "We're home. This is my new house. Let's go inside and have a meal!"

Li Guangkun looked Yue Feng up and down at his impressive brick house, becoming even more curious about the young man in front of him.

Before coming here, Li Guangkun thought Yue Feng was just a village kid who was acquainted with the second-generation rich kids in Beijing for some reason, and that he was just asked to help out when he went on a business trip.

Deep down, Li Guangkun didn't think he was any worse than Yue Feng. They were both from rural backgrounds, and neither of them was superior to the other.

But from the moment he got off the train and saw Yue Feng's car, and then from the moment he got home and saw the impressive brick house, Li Guangkun knew he was wrong, and terribly wrong at that.

The young man in front of me, though not very old, was much better off than my family.

These five large tile-roofed houses in front of us are definitely among the most impressive houses in the surrounding villages of Yingtun.

"Wow! Your new house is really impressive!" Li Guangkun couldn't help but exclaim.

"Haha, I built this house with some money I made from hunting in the mountains a few years ago! It's nothing! Come inside, I'll push the car out into the yard too!"

Li Guangkun entered the courtyard, and Yue Feng opened the gate and pushed the motorcycle into the yard.

At this moment, Li Guangkun noticed that there were two other vehicles parked near the base of the south wall.

One was a military-plated motorcycle of the same model, and the other, covered by a tarpaulin, was even more unusual—it turned out to be a snowmobile produced by Xiao Rizi.

“This…” Li Guangkun’s gaze fell on the other two cars, his eyes full of doubt.

Perhaps only one car was borrowed, but how do you explain the other two?

"Haha, these are all our own vehicles! The motorcycle is registered with a unit in the town, and this snowmobile is for going into the mountains in winter!" Yue Feng introduced calmly.

"Tsk tsk, this is a rare item that money can't easily buy!"

"I love it! When we get to Beijing, I'll ask Jin Shao to get you one too!"

"I can't possibly accept that. This stuff is really hard to work with even with oil where I'm from! I was just saying it offhand!"

"Come inside! My wife has already prepared dinner! Just have a bite to eat first!"

Soon, Yue Feng led Li Guangkun into the main room of the north house.

Wang Xiaona, holding her son happily, came out to greet them in a generous manner.

"Xiaona, this is Brother Li Guangkun, my friend! Brother Li, this is my wife Wang Xiaona, Kaixin, call him Grandpa!"

"uncle!"

Kaixin often meets people from outside, so she is very outgoing and greets people in a very generous manner. "Hey! Grandpa brought you a toy he made himself!" Li Guangkun responded with a smile, taking out a finely crafted wooden toy from his bag.

This is a small airplane shaped like an eagle, with two wheels underneath. You can attach a rope and pull it around on the ground to play.

Kaixin immediately took a liking to this toy; her eyes lit up, and she wouldn't let go of it once she stared at it.

"Aren't you going to thank your grandpa?" Yue Feng took the wooden toy and handed it to his son.

"Thank you, sir!"

"Ah, that's wonderful!"

The two calls of "Grandpa" made Li Guangkun laugh; this kid was really adorable.

"Let's eat first! We haven't had a proper meal on the road all day! Dumplings on the way, noodles when we get off. Xiaona, go and get the noodles for your brother!" Yue Feng called out.

“Okay, no need to go to too much trouble, just have a bite!” Li Guangkun said.

"No trouble at all, Brother Li, please wait a moment and have some tea with Xiaofeng first!"

Wang Xiaona brewed some tea and brought it to the table, then said hello and went into the kitchen.

Once seated in the living room, Li Guangkun noticed that the appliances, furniture, and other furnishings in Yue Feng's home were far beyond his comprehension, even more impressive than the home of the village secretary of Yingtun Village.

The house is fully equipped with all kinds of home appliances such as televisions, refrigerators, and amplifiers, and the furniture is also the latest style, which is at least ten or twenty years ahead of the traditional rural home furnishings.

Yue Feng took out a cigarette from under the table: "I remember you used to smoke, Brother Li, right? Try this! And here's some hand-pulled noodles!"

"Xiaofeng, what else do you do in the village besides hunting in the mountains?"

"I had no idea you lived such a wealthy life until I came to your house! Even the village secretary's house in Yingtun can't compare to yours in terms of furnishings and grandeur!"

Li Guangkun took the cigarette, lit it naturally, and then asked, unable to contain his curiosity.

If it were a stranger who didn't know Li Guangkun's temperament, asking such a question would be a bit abrupt, but Yue Feng knew Li Guangkun's temperament and didn't find fault with it.

This person is straightforward and can't keep things to themselves; it's always better to ask than to keep it bottled up.

"Haha, I do a bit of everything! I'm currently the village secretary, I run a livestock farm on the mountain, and I also have some small businesses in the city!"
To be honest, my family came to Northeast China from my grandfather's generation, venturing out of the Guandong region. We didn't have much of a foundation here; we just built a hunting team by falconry, then raised dogs, bought guns, built a new house, got married, and gradually made our way to where we are today!

"Tsk tsk, you're too modest! If I remember correctly, you're only in your early twenties, right?"

"Yes! We seized the opportunity and were lucky!"

Li Guangkun couldn't help but exclaim, "We're both raising and training eagles, but you're better than me!"
Where I'm from, keeping a large eagle is at best just adding a little meat to the family's diet! Making money from eagle herding is practically impossible!

“Our village is right next to the mountains, so our natural conditions are a bit better than yours!”

However, it's not difficult for you to make some money by falconry over there!

Organize a group of people to go falconry in the fall to catch barnacles, grouse, pheasants, rabbits, and the like. Find sales channels in your town or the nearest city! It should definitely work!

"This……"

Li Guangkun was slightly taken aback when he heard Yue Feng's seemingly casual advice.

No matter how much he caught with his hawks, he never considered the problem in this way.

Although Yingtun doesn't have as good a mountain area as Yuefeng's back mountain, it's still not difficult to catch some wild game by releasing hawks.

Wild birds like sand pheasants, hares, pheasants, and rabbits can be caught by eagles as long as they go a little further away.

"That's how I started, saving money little by little! You're no worse than me at falconry, you can definitely do it too if you want to!" Yue Feng said modestly.

"I've never really thought about it that way! Where I'm from, even if we catch some wild game with falcons, it's mostly shared among relatives and friends, or we keep it for ourselves. We've never thought about turning it into money!"

Upon hearing this argument, Yue Feng felt somewhat that further discussion was pointless. After pausing for two seconds, he changed his tune, saying, "Different local customs exist, so there's no right or wrong to it!"

As they were having a lively conversation, Wang Xiaona came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of freshly made hand-pulled noodles.

"Brother Li, let's eat first! The noodles are ready!"

The hand-pulled noodles with prawns are topped with two bright red prawns, each weighing about two or three ounces.

Several other dishes were also served at the same time: canned ribbonfish, salted peanuts, stir-fried mushrooms, and twice-cooked pork.

Li Guangkun was somewhat surprised by the food at Yue Feng's house, even though he had only made a casual gesture.

Having lived for decades, this was the first time Li Guangkun had ever seen a shrimp thicker than his thumb.

"One bite is enough, why prepare so much food!"

"Let's eat first, and talk after we've eaten and drunk our fill! Want some wine? I'll have a drink with you to help you relax," Yue Feng asked.

"Let's not drink alcohol now, we need to eat noodles. Drinking will make the noodles mushy. We're free this afternoon, take me to see your eagle!"

"Okay, then I'll invite my family and friends over tonight, and we'll give you a proper welcome-back dinner!"

Soon, Li Guangkun wolfed down his hand-pulled noodles, while Yue Feng coaxed his son and kept him company, chatting idly.

After the meal, Li Guangkun asked impatiently, "Is your eagle kept on the mountain or somewhere else? I didn't see any eagle-keeping decorations in the yard!"

Yue Feng grinned: "My main combat falcon is in the outbuilding. Have you finished eating? I'll take you to see it!"

"Come on, I want to see for myself what your gyrfalcon looks like!" Li Guangkun stood up abruptly, his eyes filled with eagerness.

Yue Feng left his son with his wife and led Li Guangkun into the yard.

As soon as the door to the eagle coop was opened, the pair of gyrfalcons, Big Black Eagle and Little White Spear, came running at Yue Feng, their tails raised and heads lowered, cawing loudly.

"Haha, the eagle knows we have guests and is greeting us!"

Yue Feng grinned, stretched out his arm and clapped it, and the two eagles immediately landed on his arm from their perches.

Upon seeing the legendary pure black gyrfalcon, Li Guangkun's eyes widened in astonishment.

He was knowledgeable about eagles, and he knew the characteristics of top-quality falcons recorded in the Eagle Manual by heart. However, in reality, this was the first time he had ever seen a falcon of this caliber.

In Li Guangkun's eyes, the large black eagle in front of him had gentle eyes and its body shape and posture were in perfect condition.

Neither of the two eagles had a single feather tip worn down; when held up to the light, the feathers were covered in frost and snow, displaying an extraordinary texture.

"Hiss... What a magnificent eagle! This is the gyrfalcon described in the book! What a fine eagle!"

Li Guangkun gasped, his eyes glued to the scene.

Yue Feng grinned: "Stretch out your arm and hold the eagle up yourself to feel it! My eagle is intelligent and won't scratch or bite randomly!"

Li Guangkun eagerly stretched out his arms, and Yue Feng called out, "Big Black Eagle, let Brother Li have a good look at it!"

The big black eagle glanced at its master, then reluctantly jumped onto Li Guangkun's arm. With a shake of its feathers, it immediately produced a series of rustling sounds like metal feathers rubbing together.

Li Guangkun was completely captivated by the magnificent treasure before him. (End of Chapter)
