Return to the era, take over and become a winner in life

Chapter 14 Three people go into the mountains together

The two sisters and Li Qing stood around the rocket stove and looked at it for a while before starting to cook.

Xu Ye went to the yard to wash his face, and then trained the leopard for a while.

I will take it into the mountains at night, so I need to get used to it.

"Xu Ye, are you going into the mountains at night?" Zhang Gui climbed up the wall of his house and asked condescendingly.

"Of course I'll go. Uncle Gui, do you want to come with us?" Xu Ye glanced at Zhang Gui.

"I won't go. You take Sanbao with you." Zhang Gui's old face turned red.

After eating the muntjac root tonight, he will definitely stay home and work hard.

Not to mention tonight, he doesn't plan to go for the next week.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of food?
Therefore, I want to ask Xu Ye to take care of Zhang Sanbao.

"Okay, let's set off after dinner." Xu Ye agreed immediately.

After all, the Zhang family had a homemade shotgun, a hunting bow, and three hunting dogs.

It would be of great help if we could go into the mountains together.

The Zhang family has many cousins, and their words carry a lot of weight in the village.

Xu Ye brought Zhang Sanbao with him because of this reason.

After all, if you gain a lot, it is easy to arouse envy and be tripped up by others.

In addition, Zhang Gui’s elder brother is an expert at tamping walls in the team, and he is often asked to do so.

Xu Ye naturally wanted to ask him for help, and Zhang Gui would have to speak up at that time.

Dinner was similar to lunch, with the meat being the leftovers from lunch. But for Jiang Ruyue and the others, it was like New Year's Day.

Xu Ye forced himself to finish a large bowl of white rice mixed with shredded sweet potatoes. After all, hunting was very physically demanding, and one couldn't run far if he didn't eat enough.

After eating, Zhang Sanbao took all his equipment and led the hunting dog to the Li family's yard.

"Brother Ye, I heard that you are going to tamp down the wall. Is it the courtyard wall?" Zhang Sanbao asked involuntarily as he looked at the yellow earth in the yard.

"Yes, you will have to ask your uncle for help at that time. I don't know if you can ask him for help." Xu Ye joked.

"Look at what you said, Brother Ye. My uncle is not a master chef. My father will talk to him tomorrow and he will be able to help at any time." Zhang Sanbao said, patting his chest.

"Okay, I feel relieved when you say that." Xu Ye grinned.

"Sister, are you ready? It's time to set off." Xu Ye turned his head and said.

"Here I come." Jiang Ruyue came out carrying a backpack and handed the shotgun to Xu Ye.

Jiang Ruyue was well prepared tonight. She not only brought a kettle of boiled water, but also some leftovers, pine oil lamps and matches.

In addition, there is a raincoat.

This raincoat was brought back by Li Dongming when he was discharged from the army. It has always been his treasure and that is why he did not sell it.

Although the moon is bright and the stars are sparse tonight, the situation in the mountains is unpredictable, so it is better to be prepared.

"Give me the thing, I'm strong." Xu Ye handed the gun back.

Jiang Ruyue hesitated for a moment, then took the gun and handed the backpack to Xu Ye.

Xu Ye took the backpack. It was heavy, but he walked steadily, as if the burden was just a piece of cake for him.

Zhang Sanbao looked at Xu Ye with some envy. He also wanted a beautiful woman to go into the mountains with him.

The news that Xu Ye moved into the Li family spread throughout the village.

Everyone said that Xu Ye came here to help, because Li Dongming had previously found a few people just to help.

Although those people were envious of Jiang Ruyue's beauty, they were not worried about not being able to find a wife, and were not willing to come to the Li family to help them.

Everyone knows that being a bandit means being treated like a beast of burden, and the children born cannot have your surname.

Being a son-in-law is better than joining a gang.

But bringing a wife to help others was another matter. Although Zhang Sanbao was curious, he did not ask any more questions.

They left the village quite early, and many people saw the three of them leading hunting dogs and carrying hunting rifles, and knew that they were going into the mountains to hunt.

In addition to envy, everyone also has some expectations.

After the deer meat was distributed to twenty people this morning, one of them gave away one pound.

Everyone wants to eat meat.

If Xu Ye and his team can hunt any prey tonight, those who haven't had meat can have a taste of it.

If you kill a wild boar, not only can you eat the meat, but you can also exchange it for some wild boar oil. Wouldn't that be even more delicious?

After saying hello many times along the way, the three of them walked out of the village and set foot on the path into the mountains.

The moonlight poured down on the winding mountain road, adding a touch of silver to the deep night.

Occasionally, the chirping of one or two night birds could be heard in the mountains, adding a bit of mystery and silence.

The mountain is bare and there are very few insects.

Xu Ye was paying attention to the situation around him, holding a slingshot in his hand, ready to attack at any time.

Most of the time, guns are not needed, so Zhang Sanbao not only brought a shotgun but also a hunting bow.

None of the three spoke much, after all, hunting requires one to keep one's ears open.

Once you start chatting, there’s no chance to listen to the animals’ calls.

Before they knew it, they had been walking for over an hour.

The mountain road began to become rugged, with weeds and vines intertwined, and every step had to be taken carefully to avoid being scratched by sharp leaves.

Xu Ye walked in front, Jiang Ruoyue was in the middle, and Zhang Sanbao followed closely behind.

The hounds surrounded them, sniffing and stopping from time to time, as if exploring this ancient forest in their own unique way.

Jiang Ruyue followed closely behind Xu Ye, and if she wasn't careful she might bump into Xu Ye's back.

The cool night breeze blew through the treetops, gently brushing her cheek, bringing a hint of freshness.

As we go deeper, the mountain road becomes steeper and the soil under our feet becomes softer. We need to step firmly with every step to avoid slipping.

Xu Ye looked back from time to time to check on Jiang Ruyue's condition.

After all, she is a woman, and her physical fitness is naturally inferior to that of men.

This is determined by the physiological structure. Women have less muscles than men.

But at the moment, Jiang Ruyue is in good condition.

Under the moonlight, the mountains and forests seemed to be endowed with life. Every tree and every leaf swayed gently in the light and shadow, making rustling sounds.

The mountain road became narrower and narrower, and the trees on both sides became denser and denser. Even with the help of moonlight, we couldn't see too far.

Xu Ye had to slow down and observe his surroundings more carefully to prevent any unknown dangers lurking.

He secretly felt lucky in his heart that Zhang Sanbao and the hunting dogs were there, as their keen senses could detect potential dangers in advance.

As time went by, sweat gradually soaked the clothes of Jiang Ruyue and Zhang Sanbao, but Xu Ye did not sweat at all.

Before they knew it, they had been in the mountains for two hours.

But in those two hours, they didn't see any animals they could attack.

Finally, Xu Ye stopped in a relatively open space.

He turned around to look at Jiang Ruyue and Zhang Sanbao, and said slowly: "Let's rest here for a while. I hope this forest can bring us some surprises."

Zhang Sanbao and Jiang Ruyue nodded and found a relatively comfortable place to sit down. The hunting dogs formed a circle and guarded them vigilantly.

"Brother Ye, do you think we will encounter muntjacs tonight?" Zhang Sanbao took out a pack of self-rolled cigarettes from his pocket and prepared to give Xu Ye the first one.

At this time, his hand was held down by Xu Ye.
