Rebirth 78: Hunting for Treasure in the Mountains, Spoiling My Wife and Daughter to the Heavens

"Young man, how many animals are there in the mountains these days?"

"I was thinking, there are a lot of wild boars and wolves, but not many other animals, especially roe deer. Those that go into the mountains have been almost all killed, all by those idiots."

With every sentence Lu Weiguo spoke, he would mention that kid surnamed Qian.

"Damn it, are you never going to stop? If they hadn't stopped me, would I have put up with this?"

Young Master Qian kept cursing from behind.

Watching the two bicker, Officer Liu's head was throbbing with pain.

At this moment, he was absolutely certain of Lu Weiguo's identity.

If you're not a fool, who would dare to mess with this spoiled brat?

If it really is related to Zhang Benmo, whom they are trying to arrest.

People would avoid anyone with the surname Qian, let alone act like Lu Weiguo, who had killed a sika deer and wouldn't let go once he bit it.

"Aren't roe deer the most numerous?"

Police officer Lao Liu changed the subject, saying that fortunately, Lu Weiguo had a lot of experience in the mountains.

He learned a lot from this trip.

Not all people from Northeast China have been to the mountains, nor do all people from Northeast China know how to hunt.

It's the same principle as how not every person from Northeast China in later generations can drink it or resist the cold.

"You mean beating roe deer with a stick and scooping fish with a ladle? That's all old folklore, just something those ignorant people who migrated to Northeast China spread without any real knowledge."

There aren't that many silly roe deer. Besides, if they were that silly, they would have gone extinct long ago.

"Beating a roe deer with a stick" refers to the fact that roe deer, a type of sika-hoofed animal, cannot stand on ice and can only be hit with a stick on the ice.

At other times, you should also avoid its line of sight.

Lu Weiguo is like a walking encyclopedia of the forest.

He would explain everything Old Liu asked in detail, as if reciting a familiar story.

The reason was simple: to get Old Liu to take him seriously.

The reason I'm picking a fight with that kid surnamed Qian is so that I can go to the county public security bureau with him.

They relentlessly pursued him, laying the groundwork in advance.

And in this process, there will always be someone who can protect him.

Old Liu is just right.

After all, this was the only person who showed disgust after the young man fired his gun.

"Young man, not bad, you know a lot. We've already walked halfway up the mountain about the person you mentioned. What are your thoughts?"

"Did someone say there were footprints here?"

Lu Weiguo asked without turning his head, his expression casual, while looking around as he asked.

"Yes, someone reported that there were footprints here, so we were notified to stop going up the mountain. We came up here following this clue."

Become!

Lu Weiguo suppressed the urge to smile.

Old Liu could rattle off this kind of inside information off the top of his head.

It can be said that they completely let their guard down around him.

A local official is more powerful than a distant one.

He had been trying to make contact with the county's public security bureau or the local street administration.

Unexpectedly, this created an opportunity.

After all, you can't rely on your mother-in-law's connections.

Even with a son-in-law, some relationships can only be used once or twice.

Using it too much will make you look down on.

"That's not easy to find."

"Didn't you just say..."

"Brother Liu, I realize that finding footprints is easy, but finding people is difficult," Lu Weiguo suddenly stopped and turned around to say.

"You motherfucker, you idiot, do you want to die?! What are you spouting nonsense about?!"

Upon hearing this, Young Master Qian suddenly burst out in laughter.

"My farts don't even come close to yours. Look at you, your brain isn't fully developed, your cerebellum isn't completely formed."

"You spew filth the moment you open your mouth, and you have diarrhea the moment you walk down the street. Are you a premature, mentally challenged person?!"

Lu Weiguo ignored everything else and turned around to start cursing.

Police officer Liu was about to explode with frustration. After another round of persuasion, the two finally calmed down.

The others were numb.

Moreover, Young Master Qian looked pitiful.

Don't be fooled by how often Young Master Qian calls his mother; it's completely harmless, just like a catchphrase.

But that country bumpkin.

Every time he curses someone, he manages to make Young Master Qian blush and turn red in the face.

If it weren't for the high air pressure on the mountain, it could have caused a stroke.

"Alright, Xiao Lu, that's enough. I'll give your brother Liu some face. Tell me what happened."

Lu Weiguo looked at the people behind him, panting and kicking, shivering from the cold, and even the ears of one young policeman were frostbitten black.

Knowing he couldn't keep going in circles, he had already led the group around the mountains three times.

Then he pointed to a mark on the ground and said.

"Look here." Lu Weiguo lay down.

I carefully blew a breath.

Then a footprint appeared before everyone's eyes.

"In the mountains, footprints aren't as clear as they are at the foot of the mountain. A footprint can only be preserved for three days at most."

And look, the wind is so strong, the footprints that just appeared were quickly covered up.

Lu Weiguo paused here.

"As for what I just said about the difficulty in finding suitable people... you're a professional, you should be able to tell by looking at the footprints."

I said that because I saw the footprints.

"Um?"

"Let me see!!"

The three policemen gathered around at once, and Young Master Qian also squeezed in to watch the excitement.

"The footprints are shallow at the beginning and dark at the end... Was this person walking backwards?"

Old Liu noticed the problem after just one glance!

"Yes! I think the footprints on the mountain are deliberately created as an illusion. Judging from the footprints, they've probably already come down the mountain..."

Lu Weiguo said casually.

"right!"

The three police officers did not respond.

The man surnamed Qian suddenly became excited.

"That idiot is just a bookworm. If he stayed on the mountain for that many days, he'd either starve to death or get eaten by wolves."

How can there be footprints on the mountain?

I told you you're nothing, even though you said you'd checked the whole village.

"Investigate again! If you still can't find anything, none of you are doing this anymore!!"

As Young Master Qian's insults became increasingly offensive, the expressions on the faces of these men gradually darkened.

But because of their status, no one dared to say anything.

However, Lu Weiguo...

"You're really something else. What's wrong with you? You're already showing off without even having a drink. You might as well think the whole Northeast is yours, instead of just this place."

Upon hearing this, the police officers looked at Lu Weiguo as if he were a family member.

"Oh dear, you're everywhere!! Look at me today..."

As soon as Young Master Qian reached for his gun, he was stopped by two young policemen.

This action has been repeated many times.

They've all gotten used to it.

Only Old Liu kept observing the footprints, and would occasionally blow on them on the ground.

Lu Weiguo wasn't worried at all.

These footprints were made by him, truly when he was coming down the mountain.

Another time was when I stepped on it while going up the mountain.

Although he taught Zhang Benmo how to avoid being followed.

But he's a novice after all.

It's much safer to make your own way out by stepping on it.

It would be strange if people of this era could figure it out!
