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

Weasels hold a very special place in Northeast China.

The weasel is also known as the yellow weasel, yellow skin, or yellow fairy.

In Northeast China, every place with "immortal" in its name has a unique legend.

Some say that encountering a weasel will bring good fortune.

Some also believe that weasels can ward off disasters or even bring good fortune.

Even though people often make videos jokingly asking whether the weasel looks like a civil servant or a public institution employee, it's not a big deal.

But if you really offend a weasel, you might see one stand up and talk to you in the middle of the night.

Then you'll know what fear is.

In this day and age, you might see a weasel jumping around and acting crazy when you go out at night.

If you don't scare him into pooping or peeing, then you're really brave!

"Brother Weiguo, why are you catching that thing? Don't we have two sables at home? Aren't they all the same?"

After listening to Lu Weiguo's plan, Liu Dazhuang asked curiously.

The urgent trip up the mountain to catch weasels was actually a backup plan.

They wanted to bring down, or even drive, that guy surnamed Qian insane.

We also need to cause some trouble for Zhang Dexing and find out who's behind him.

This is an absolutely once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

First of all, the parents of the person surnamed Qian must have been of high social standing.

You could tell from the fawning look on Zhang Dexing's face after he asked for his name.

That's why he asked Zhang Dexing to find someone to keep the man surnamed Qian company for the night.

At the gambling table arranged by Zhang Dexing, the man surnamed Qian was so frightened that he wet himself.

If Zhang Dexing doesn't bring out his cousin behind him to settle things, this debt will never be settled.

As for what to use to scare them, it's when they're playing with camphor and getting all confused.

A yellow fox spirit suddenly appeared.

He's still the kind of Huang Daxian who can't scare people, but can scare them with his farts.

This is something that sable cannot do.

Moreover, those two sables have now become Lu Jiacheng and Lu Jiahuan's favorite pets.

Drive the sables mad and let them scare people.

Lu Weiguo was truly reluctant to part with her.

Lu Weiguo is probably the first person in the world to be so patient with a fool.

After explaining all this, Liu Dazhuang didn't know if he understood or not, but he just kept nodding.

The two of them found their destination.

Before even getting close, you could hear rustling sounds coming from inside the wooden dwelling.

Forestry workers live in the mountains and prefer to use local materials.

They usually use wood to build a complete hut.

Even the wooden bed inside was built entirely of wood.

Each time someone comes to inspect, we just need to lay a layer of plastic sheeting on top.

If you come in winter, you will suffer even more.

The room was covered in snow, and the workers were too lazy to clean it up. They simply laid out blankets on the wooden beds and went to sleep.

Over the course of winter, almost all the workers would be chilled by the snow under the wooden beds.

Therefore, the workers in Northeast China during this era worked for the development and prosperity of the motherland.

They truly gave their all.

In later generations, retired workers were tormented by rheumatism and arthritis, living a life worse than death.

These are all the root causes of problems that have been picked up in this era.

"There's potential! Where there are mice, there are weasels. These creatures eat over three thousand mice a year."

Set up the basket, tie a stone inside, and do you still have some dried meat in your pocket? Take some out and put it in.

"Seal your mouth and nose, I'm going to chase the rats over there!"

Most animals in the mountains are nocturnal, especially small animals.

Weasels are no exception.

Moreover, catching them is very easy; although weasels are small, they are quite bold.

Because of its large appetite, it often fights with animals larger than itself in order to get enough to eat.

This led many people in later generations to discover that this thing was not afraid of people at all.

When faced with hunger, all animals possess extraordinary courage, and humans are no exception.

"Yeah, it's like catching a bird."

"Yes!" Lu Weiguo nodded.

As for why there's a stone inside...

That's because weasels fart when they're in danger.

If you could knock a weasel unconscious with a stone, it wouldn't be bothered by the smell of farts.

The two split up.

Lu Weiguo went around to the side and behind the wooden shack.

Liu Dazhuang's flashlight flashed.

They started banging on the shack with wood.

Hearing the noise, the rats inside scattered and fled, and in no time they were all gone.

The rest of the time was simply spent waiting.

When the rats escape, the weasel, unable to bear its hunger, will search for food nearby.

And the dried meat prepared for Zhang Benmo...

"Zhang Benmo?"

Upon realizing this, Lu Weiguo was stunned.

Looking at the jerky that Liu Dazhuang kept chewing.

I remembered that the main reason I went up the mountain today was to bring him food.

But the result was...

Lu Weiguo could only pray in his heart that the kid wouldn't be so stupid as to just hide in the cave.

Four days have passed, and he's starving to death.

The two lay prone in the snowdrift.

Despite the howling cold wind outside, the temperature inside the snowdrift is gradually rising.

The two were covered with dry grass, just like selling ice blocks in the summer with cotton quilts.

It has heat preservation function.

But a chill still seeped into my body.

"ah..."

After climbing for a while, Liu Dazhuang couldn't help but feel the urge to sneeze.

Lu Weiguo reacted quickly and covered Liu Dazhuang's mouth!

Shh!! Don't make a sound!

In the direction he pointed.

A small yellow animal stands upright.

He stood not far from the earthen basket, looking around.

He looked at the quiet wooden shack with a suspicious expression.

It's as if they're saying, "Why is there no food at the buffet today?"

That little guy was extremely cute, even a bit human-like.

This is also why many people say that weasels will seek official recognition.

With a suspicious look on its face, the weasel, seeing no movement in the hut, tried to lie down and find another place to eat.

But just as they were walking out, her sensitive nose twitched.

then!

As if discovering a new continent, they quickly ran towards the earthen basket.

Liu Dazhuang was overjoyed at the sight!

But Lu Weiguo knew that this little guy was very clever.

It will probably take a long time to observe before they can crawl into the trap.

really!

When the weasel saw the strips of meat, it didn't eat them right away.

Instead, they stood still and looked around.

After observing for about five minutes and seeing that there was nothing unusual around, he jumped into the soil basket!

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The sound of the rope being pulled rang out.

...On the other side...

The three police officers, including Lao Liu, were discussing the case at the male educated youth settlement.

At the female educated youth settlement next door, Zhang Dexing called over Wang Defa and a bunch of scoundrels.

They were gathered around Young Master Qian, bragging, smoking, and drinking the village's grain liquor.

"Blowing Bull" is a type of playing card in Northeast China.

The gameplay is somewhat similar to games like Texas Hold'em.

The score is calculated as well.

With Zhang Dexing's hint, Wang Defa dealt Qian Gongzi cards that weren't very strong, but he always managed to win against everyone at the table!

"My God! I told you Qian Shao was lucky! Look at him, he beat everyone at the table with just over thirty points!!"

Zhang Dexing was praising her enthusiastically.

Young Master Qian also excitedly drank grain liquor one sip after another.

Playing cards, regardless of the stakes, as long as he wins, it stimulates his nerves and makes him even happier!
