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

Whiteout, also known as snowstorm or white disaster in grasslands.

It is a severe weather condition.

In Northeast China, however, it is a legend of a monster.

Almost every Northeasterner has heard a terrifying story: whenever there is a disobedient child...

When a whiteout occurs, you can't go outside, or even open the door.

Otherwise, they will be captured by the "White-haired Wind".

Its sharp claws will tear open the belly and eat all the internal organs.

Lu Weiguo walked alone in the blizzard, recalling the story, and gripped the hunting rifle in his hand.

In my past life, I actually saw a "white-haired wind" once while with the mountain dog in the Greater Khingan Mountains.

According to that mountain dog.

That white-haired wind is a snow leopard deep in the forest.

Those things live in high places year-round, and they are prone to oxygen sickness when coming down mountains.

When a whiteout occurs, the air pressure is low and there is less oxygen down in the mountains.

That's why we went down the mountain to hunt.

Snow leopards, when they eat animals, have a particular fondness for tearing out their hearts and livers.

"Please, please don't have this thing..."

Lu Weiguo walked and prayed.

Although snow leopard fur is more expensive than the sable fur at home.

But in this environment, that thing is definitely a top-tier hunter.

Even if you have a gun, it's useless.

If you want to fire, you should at least see it first.

With visibility less than three meters, who could possibly see that thing moving as fast as lightning?

As he pondered this, Lu Weiguo walked back to the path he had taken to go up the mountain.

Find the mark left by Liu Dazhuang.

We started climbing the mountain following Liu Dazhuang's footprints.

Just as he entered the forest, the lynx that had been waiting jumped onto him again.

. . . . . .

On the other side of the mountain.

Zhang Benmo tightened his tattered leather coat and stood on the hilltop, trying to discern directions.

He originally wanted to take the dirt road to Fendou Village, but there were checkpoints and police along the way.

Not only people from the county town, but even forestry workers came out to help.

Left with no other choice, they decided to go up the mountain.

But the mountain roads were even more difficult to navigate, and with the sudden gust of white wind, he lost his way after just one hilltop.

If it were the old him, he might have already broken down and given up.

During this period, they were eating animal carcasses and excrement in the cave.

They were eating Liu Dazhuang's chewed food again.

And then there was that obedient little girl, who made him realize the true meaning of the word "man".

Unlike with Sister Zhao, I never felt like a son-in-law who had married into the family and had to listen to their every word.

The series of changes, on the contrary, made him even more determined.

"It should be this way; the vegetation is lush here, it's to the east."

Zhang Benmo recalled what he had read in his geography book.

I chose a direction, tapped my legs to encourage myself.

They ran straight down the mountain.

It is less than one kilometer away from Zhang Benmo.

Qian Duolai was protected by more than ten people in the middle.

He wore a black cotton coat, a black dog-skin hat, and a scarf around his face.

Qian Duolai even wore a pair of black sunglasses.

"Brother Qian, given this weather, should we add a little more money?"

The burly man at the head of the group kept glancing at the black bag Qian Duolai was carrying.

"Brother Xiong, don't call me that, just call me 'little brother'. I didn't expect there to be such a strong wind all of a sudden."

Brothers, you've all worked hard on this trip. As long as you can get me to the border, all the money in my pocket is yours!

"Even if I take it back, I have nowhere to spend it, right?"

After being beaten up these past few days, Qian Duolai's temper has improved a lot, and he even understands that his life is now in Xiong Laoda's hands.

However, it's possible that Mrs. Chang put in a little too much medicine.

These past few days, he's felt weak all over and has developed a severe craving for cigarettes. Besides smoking, he can't even eat.

Fortunately, I feel much better today.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to lift those hundreds of ten-yuan bills in his black pocket.

"That's great! Money talks. We brothers are all supported by your old man. It's no big deal for us to call you 'brother'!"

Brother Qian, I need to discuss something with you. It's a personal matter, something between us brothers.

If I happen to be there, or just passing by, I'll go out and let you know in advance.

Despite his large muscles, Boss Xiong is also very smart.

Qian Duolai had already given him face, so he had to ask this young master for permission before taking on any private jobs.

"That's not a good idea."

Qian Duolai frowned slightly; all he could think about was getting to the border as quickly as possible.

His father had already arranged for someone to pick him up.

Once you reach the border, you can fly high like a bird.

Here, there is always the risk of being caught.

"Don't worry, it won't cause any problems. I've done so much dirty work for your dad, don't you trust me for something like this?"

"Then Brother Xiong, do as you please. Just deliver it to the border on time in four days."

Qian Duolai clutched the bag of money to his chest.

Four days!

Four days later, without his parents watching over him, he... damn it, he just wouldn't take off!

At this time, the northeastern mountains are continuous.

The three groups of people were moving in the same direction.

Under the white blizzard.

All the small animals hid.

Only greedy humans take the risk.

Resisting the wrath of nature.

. . . . . .

"Dazhuang, are there any signs that someone has passed by?"

It is located in a mountain valley more than ten kilometers from the border crossing.

Lu Weiguo led the lynx to Liu Dazhuang, who was squatting in a snowdrift warming himself by the fire.

More than two meters of snow, in a place rarely visited by people.

Hiding in a snowdrift is undoubtedly the best option.

"Holy crap, bro, you're amazing! You managed to find me by smell. I thought you weren't coming until tomorrow or the day after!"

"Get out of my way! Do you think I'm a dog?!"

The wind in the mountain valley was not only not weak, but actually very strong.

Anyone who has lived in the mountains knows that as long as you dig a good hole in front of the snowdrift.

The low pressure generated by strong winds acts as a natural barrier.

It retains all the warmth from the snow pit inside.

The wisdom of the older generation is entirely consistent with the scientific principles of later generations.

"Hehe, bro, you're even cooler than a dog. With this much wind, how could a dog smell it?"

Lu Weiguo laughed and gave Liu Dazhuang a good kick. The little lynx found a warm spot, curled up in a ball, and began to rest.

The wait was long.

Unlike later generations, people in the mountains don't have cell phones or e-books.

As soon as it got dark, with a lynx helping to keep watch, the two men covered themselves with a wolfskin rug and began to prepare for sleep.

The sound of the wind outside is a great low-frequency sound.

Lu Weiguo closed his eyes and fell asleep.

but!

It wasn't even midnight yet.

How did he realize something was touching his stomach?

Still half asleep, he thought it was either Li Xiulian or Zhao Yangyang.

After all, that little girl Zhao Yangyang always tries to harm you in the middle of the night.

But when the calluses on his hands rubbed against his delicate skin...

Lu Weiguo woke up instantly!

No woman's hands are that rough!

Especially when that hand started to undo his belt.

Lu Weiguo stood up instantly.

Then he put the lynx in Liu Dazhuang's arms!
