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

"Fuck him, that's the kid! Kill him! That bastard, he's been bullying us in our village, hunting and trading in wild game, making a fortune."

There are several other women in the family, all exceptionally beautiful, but he's just a hunting dog, nothing more.

No one's as awesome as you guys! What makes him so special?

And his brother, that idiot, got involved with two widows, it's infuriating!

Inside a small alley.

Before Zhang Benmo could catch his breath, he heard shouts and curses coming from a small house.

"Wow, your little village of struggle can actually produce someone like this?"

A calm voice rang out, filled with disdain.

"Damn, don't even mention it. Just six months ago, he was a gambling addict. I don't know what kind of old immortal possessed him, but he's changed a lot in the last six months."

A disgruntled voice complained about the change in the man he spoke of.

"Mountain Dog? Ask around and see if anyone's been going up the mountain lately. I'm planning to take my brothers up there to take care of some business."

If I can make it in time, I'll take care of it all at once for you.

The composed man seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked a question.

"Going up the mountain! I know that, he went up the mountain yesterday. If he doesn't go up the mountain, what will happen to the women at home?"

"Alright! Get the money ready. We're all got the tools, so we can take care of this little thing while we're at it."

As soon as the man finished speaking, lewd laughter echoed from inside the room.

When men get together, they only talk about eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and prostitution.

Zhang Benmo listened carefully to the sounds inside.

Fendou Village, going up the mountain, could you be referring to Brother Lu?

Having been terrified by the situation in the county town, he also wanted to go up the mountain to hide.

After listening to the sounds coming from inside the house.

Thinking it over, I decided to go to the vicinity of Fendou Village and remind Brother Lu.

After all that has happened, Lu Weiguo is now his only support.

"Forget it, let's go to the old lady first. We can make it up the mountain around the same time as this group."

Two more days passed.

Zhang Benmo said goodbye to the little girl and the old lady.

He kissed the little girl's forehead, touched the dry rations in his arms, and felt a deep sense of gratitude.

"Grandma, little girl, if I survive, I will take care of you both for the rest of my life."

After saying this, Zhang Benmo braved the wind and snow and rushed inside without looking back.

. . . . . .

"Brother, the snow is really heavy. I'm going to go up the mountain to scout things out first. Hehe, you don't need to wait for me tonight."

At the entrance of the Lu family's residence.

Liu Dazhuang, wrapped in a military overcoat and wearing a newly made wolfskin hat, waved goodbye with a smile.

The snow and wind are exceptionally heavy today.

It's impossible to distinguish between humans and animals from three meters away.

You can't tell if it's a man or a woman from a meter away.

The older generation calls it White-haired Wind.

It is said that the White-Haired Wind is home to bloodthirsty monsters and is also the death anniversary of countless people.

"Okay, be careful. If you can't find your way, dig a snowdrift and hide there."

Lu Weiguo nodded: "I'll go to Old Mrs. Chang's house and then come to find you."

The bigger the waves at the beach, the more expensive the fish.

There's a saying in the mountains that the heavier the wind and snow, the greater the harvest.

"Don't worry, brother, I'm lucky and have a long life. Heaven won't take my life."

The two men didn't take the heavy snow seriously.

The women inside were all increasingly worried.

Li Xiulian wrapped Lu Weiguo up in layers of clothing, including a wolfskin vest and a cotton coat.

Only then did they let Lu Weiguo leave.

The wind and snow were heavy.

Everyone is staying home to hibernate.

On the way to the next village, Lu Weiguo didn't encounter a single person.

fair enough.

If you encounter someone, you'll see a lynx standing on Lu Weiguo's head.

They'd probably be scared out of their wits.

Near Mrs. Chang's house, it was much more lively outside her door at this time.

It is said that illness waits for no one, and even on snowy days, many people still come to see Mrs. Zhang for medical treatment.

"Excuse me, I'm going in to see Grandma Chang."

Upon reaching the entrance, Lu Weiguo squeezed his way into the queue.

"Go outside and join the queue. Everyone's here to see Grandma Chang, why are you in such a hurry!"

Several men holding children in the group cursed.

"I'm not here for medical treatment, I'm just delivering something," Lu Weiguo explained patiently.

They all have children, they are all fathers, and he understands the feelings of these fathers.

"Get out of the way! I said I'm not here for medical treatment. Why don't people who aren't here for medical treatment waste time if they go in?!"

The man held the child tightly in his arms, as if afraid the child would be exposed to even a little wind and snow.

"I... well, fine, I'll stand in line behind you. Dude, what's wrong with you? In this snowy weather, you're carrying a child out, aren't you afraid he'll get cold?"

If it were anyone else, Lu Weiguo wouldn't have such a good temper.

Seeing the child crying incessantly, Lu Weiguo couldn't help but empathize with him.

"What's wrong? Going to the doctor?"

The man's voice was weary as he lifted the blanket to show Lu Weiguo the child in his arms.

Just one glance!

Lu Weiguo almost screamed out in surprise!

She looked at the man with a shocked expression and disbelief.

"Big brother, this...this is..."

"I got bitten by a mouse. It bit off half of my ear. Luckily, I found out in time, or it would have bitten my nose."

The man felt increasingly guilty as he spoke, and slapped himself twice.

Mrs. Zhang's village is Fangniugou, which is next to Fendou Village.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the distance is less than five kilometers.

However, the local customs and habits are completely different.

Fendou Village is surrounded by mountains. There is little land and a large population. After finishing their work in the fields, people would often take a stroll in the mountains.

Fangniugou has a lot of land but few people, and the working hours are long, so generally few people would venture into the mountains.

Of course, more land means more cattle.

Cows eat a lot, so they need to store up hay in the fall, which provides more hiding places for mice.

"Brother, if that's the case, you shouldn't be here. You should go to the hospital. If it's inconvenient for you, I have some money here. Taking care of the child is the priority."

The baby in the man's arms was only eight or nine months old, with half of its ear bitten off and two teeth marks on its face.

It bleeds from time to time.

"Good buddy, no need for that. I've been to the hospital, and they said... they said... there's no hope. We'll just have to live a few days, that's it. I... I thought I'd come to see Old Mrs. Chang, just to try anything, even if it's hopeless."

What if it works...?

Upon hearing this, Lu Weiguo was at a loss for words.

He took out twenty yuan from his pocket and quietly stuffed it into the quilt wrapped around the child.

Fortunately, the wind and snow were heavy outside, and Mrs. Chang didn't want people to freeze outside.

Minor illnesses go untreated, and major illnesses are not a cause for alarm.

Before long, Lu Weiguo followed the man into the house.

Before Lu Weiguo could close the door...

Without even looking up, Mrs. Chang said, "I was wondering why my sage didn't come today. Turns out it's you, you wretched thing, who's here."

It exuded a menacing aura, scaring my celestial being away!

"Spit it out and get lost."

"Damn!" Lu Weiguo didn't even need to go inside to know that the old lady was talking about him.

"Grandma Chang, my matter isn't urgent. This brother's child had his ear bitten by a rat, and the hospital says there's no hope."

"You should take a look at him first."
