Rebirth in 1972: Redemption in Changbai Mountain

"Wait, wait, is that wolf down there dead?"

Just as the man at the top was about to come down, the sandwich cookie in the middle became unhappy.

"I'm dead, I'm as stiff as a rock. If you two don't get up, I'm going to die."

Luo Hao's voice was hoarse, and he seemed to be having trouble breathing.

The two got off Luo Hao and sat down on the ground, staring intently at Luo Hao's lower body, ready to pounce on him again at the slightest sign of trouble.

Luo Hao propped himself up with his hands, panting heavily, as if trying to breathe back the breath he had been holding in his chest.

It took him a while to recover.

"Are you Lü Zhijun, He Wu, and Qin Rui?"

"Who are you? How do you know our names?" He Wu touched the back of his head, wondering if his head was still bleeding.

"We are Director Xie from Taiping Commune, here to search for your hunters?"

"Save us? Hunters? Is that all they're capable of?"

Lu Zhijun stood up, looked at the disheveled Luo Hao, then glanced at Wang Xiaolong, who was standing two meters away without moving, and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"No, didn't I find you? This just proves that the hunters in Taiping Town are much better than those in Red Flag Town."

Unable to bear Lü Zhijun's gaze, Luo Hao quickly tried to explain.

"Never mind, is there anything to eat? I'm starving."

He Wu lowered his hand, and the bleeding finally stopped. He hurriedly stepped forward and searched Luo Hao's body.

"Hey, hey, I don't have any food on me, stop touching me."

"Tch, weren't you here to rescue us? How come you didn't bring any food?"

He Wu got up reluctantly.

"Brother Wu, here's a cookie."

Qin Rui stood at the bottom of the slope, holding up a small square, about the size of her palm, wrapped in thin paper.

"Oh." He Wu's eyes lit up, and he quickly ran over and snatched the cookie from Qin Rui's hand.

As he peeled back the paper, He Wu exclaimed in surprise, "Compressed biscuits!"

As he was about to take a bite of the cookie, he suddenly saw Qin Rui staring at him with wide eyes.

"Hehe... Sister Qin Rui, I'm sorry, I was just really hungry."

As He Wu spoke, he broke the compressed biscuit in half, handed one half to Qin Rui, and then broke the remaining half in half again and handed it to Lü Zhijun, who had come over.

Qin Rui took a small bite of the biscuit and chewed slowly.

He Wu and Lü Zhijun weren't so refined; as soon as they got their hands on it, they couldn't wait to stuff it into their mouths. It was just a tiny bite, not worth savoring at all.

After swallowing, He Wu felt it wasn't enough, so he quickly licked his palm, which contained crumbs left over from breaking the biscuits.

Looking at these young masters and ladies from the city, Luo Hao realized they were completely unrecognizable as city kids. They were filthy, and their eating habits were even worse than those of village children.

"Have you finished eating? How do we get out?"

The three of them looked up immediately, even Qin Rui, who was still slowly munching on a cookie, stared blankly at Luo Hao.

"Are you out of your mind? If we had a way out, we wouldn't have stayed here for several days."

Lu Zhijun looked around. The room was like a large vat, with ice walls on all sides. The only entrance and exit was the crack, which was where they had slid down.

Lu Zhijun looked at Luo Hao as if he were an idiot. The director of Taiping Commune sent someone like this to rescue them? That's incredibly unreliable.

He Wu was even more impolite than Lü Zhijun: "You said you came to rescue us, and you came empty-handed?"

As he spoke, he stared intently at Luo Hao's hands, where there was only an empty gun without bullets.

"Me, my backpack? Oh right, my junior brother told me to take it off; it's still up there! Wang Xiaolong, you son of a bitch..."

Luo Hao had originally thought that Wang Xiaolong was using him as a shield and wanted to cause him trouble, but then he saw his junior brother lying on the ground without making a sound.

Luo Hao stepped forward, turned Wang Xiaolong over, and then tremblingly placed a finger under his nose.

Whew... Luo Hao breathed a sigh of relief, but anger immediately rose within him.

pop... pop...

A series of slaps landed on Wang Xiaolong's face, instantly causing his cheeks to swell.

Zhou Rui then reached the northeast corner of the valley. He was carrying a large bag and was walking faster than Xie Yongjiang, who only had a rifle.

"Ruiwa, Ruiwa!" A burst of excited shouts rang out.

Zhou Rui turned around and saw Gu Jiacheng waving at him.

Zhou Rui stopped and gave Gu Jiacheng a smile.

Gu Jiacheng and Hu Dongmu quickly ran over.

"Ruiwa, where's my dad?"

Seeing that only Zhou Rui and Xie Yongjiang were there, Gu Jiacheng couldn't help but ask. However, he didn't look anxious; with Zhou Rui there, his father would definitely be alright.

"Resting at the campsite."

Sure enough, Zhou Rui's words immediately put Gu Jiacheng's mind at ease.

"Have you found any clues?" Xie Yongjiang interrupted them, unable to bear their casual conversation.

"We went down to the bottom of Eagle Cliff, but there was nothing there." Hu Dongmu shrugged.

"How come there's no trace at all? Didn't you say that Lü Zhijun and his group came to capture the Falcon?"

Zhou Rui glanced at Xie Yongjiang, really not wanting to be on the same team as this guy. He had no skills whatsoever, all he knew was how to find fault with others.

"Alright, since there are no clues at Eagle Cliff, then take us to other places to take a look." Zhou Rui ignored Xie Yongjiang and directly instructed Hu Dongmu.

Hu Dongmu nodded, mimicking Zhou Rui's manner, completely ignoring Xie Yongjiang. With Zhou Rui here, he wasn't afraid of being bullied by the hunters of Taiping Town.

Hu Dongmu led Zhou Rui and the others onto a side path, which was the same path that Luo Hao and his companion had taken.

After walking for about ten minutes, Zhou Rui suddenly grabbed Hu Dongmu, who was at the front.

"Brother Zhou, what's wrong?"

Hu Dongmu looked at Zhou Rui, and saw a solemn expression on Zhou Rui's face.

Zhou Rui didn't speak immediately, but stared blankly ahead, his eyes somewhat vacant.

He was immersed in his senses at this moment. His sixth sense had not spread very far, only about 700 meters away, blocked by the valley, but there was a dense aura of life within it.

"Something's not right ahead. I'm going to fire and call for help." Zhou Rui said, taking off the Type 56 rifle from his back.

"What's wrong? There's nothing in front of us, why are you making such a fuss?"

Xie Yongjiang's sarcastic voice rang out, which was irritating.

Zhou Rui completely ignored him. If he were alone, he might have gone ahead to scout ahead, but with Gu Jiacheng and Hu Dongmu present, he naturally had to be more cautious.

Hey, hey, hey.

Zhou Rui fired three shots into the air in quick succession, the sound carrying far and wide.

Gu Jiacheng had told him that they were all searching the same area, and he believed that Huaban could hear his gunshots.

A few minutes later, three more shots rang out; Zhou Rui was giving Wang Shouye directions.

After three attempts, two figures finally appeared on the winding path.

"Gu family brat, who fired the shot? Why did you call us here?"
