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

On Lu Weiguo's side.

He's doing very well.

They were experienced and used to being in the mountains. Even if there was a strong wind, they would still go to the border to check it out as planned.

But if you have a lot of money, things won't be so easy here.

A group of more than ten people crowded into a square tent they had set up themselves.

People were packed together, making it difficult to even turn around. Tents were set up on the snow, which was then melted by the warmth of people's bodies.

My whole body was soaked, and I felt terribly uncomfortable.

They had originally brought three tents, all of which were high-end items that they had smuggled from the forestry department.

With limited building capacity, the chosen location happened to be upwind.

The other two tents were blown away by the wind before they could be set up.

"Brother Xiong, can we leave today? This is too uncomfortable."

Qian Duolai was spoiled since childhood and had never been treated like this before.

The most painful time was the last time I went up the mountain and encountered Lu Weiguo and his group.

"Go? Why don't you go out and try? The wind is so strong, damn it, are you having bad luck? I've been around for over ten years and I've never seen weather like this."

"Brother, don't say that. Talking nonsense on the mountain can easily incur the wrath of the mountain god."

One of the henchmen quickly intervened.

But the next moment, he was kicked away by Boss Xiong.

"Damn it! A mountain god? If there really is a mountain god, let him come and kill me!"

Before Boss Xiong could finish complaining, the underling who had just been kicked out suddenly screamed.

Then there was silence.

"Who! Xiao Wu!!! What's wrong with you!!"

The people inside the tent fell silent instantly.

Then the younger brother's older brother shouted for help.

"Stop fucking yelling, it sounds like a wolf howling! If you're worried, go outside and check!"

Despite his boastful words, Xiong Laoda's actions betrayed his true intentions, as he squeezed his way towards the center where Qian Duolai was.

"You! Boss! You... that's my own brother!"

"So go and see for yourself." Boss Xiong felt no remorse whatsoever: "You might have stepped into a snowdrift. If you don't go, you'll really freeze to death."

Upon hearing these words, the man knew he was no match for Boss Xiong.

Besides, he needed to wait until this job was finished so he could share the money with his mother at home for her medical treatment.

He cursed under his breath, then pushed open the tent flap and went outside.

Just as the person disappeared from their sight, another exclamation rang out, and then silence returned outside.

"No...no...no, are there monsters outside?"

The fact that two people disappeared in the white whirlwind terrified Qian Duo.

The medication given by Mrs. Chang had already caused him considerable discomfort due to its side effects.

Startled, I pulled out a pack of cigarettes from my pocket, lit one, took a couple of puffs, and finally calmed down.

"Monsters? Aren't you a college student? You believe in this?"

Boss Xiong asked for a cigarette and lit it together with the cigarette butt that Qian Duo had brought.

"This is Northeast China, what's there to disbelieve? I was even haunted by a snake spirit a few days ago..."

Since he didn't dare go out anyway, Qian Duolai simply recounted what had happened a few days ago.

When Xiong Laoda heard Lu Weiguo's name, he was clearly taken aback.

"Do you know that kid?"

"I don't know him, but that fortune teller said he had a lot of malevolent energy around him, and that it was very comfortable to be near him. That was definitely the case a few days ago, when my dad took me back home."

I feel like I'm being too cutesy.

Qian Duo was very certain.

Even Xiong Laoda, who initially didn't believe it, began to have doubts.

"Yes! This place outside is called White Hair Wind, and legend has it that there are man-eating creatures in White Hair Wind..."

Ten thousand mountains, a million bones in the wilderness.

Everyone listened with chills down their spines, completely forgetting the two brothers who had just left.

The three parties went up the mountain.

Zhang Benmo was all alone as he made his way through the mountains.

He was frozen and unconscious, but he relied entirely on his willpower to find his way forward.

. . . . .

"Brother Weiguo, it seems there's something going on over there."

It took Lu Weiguo and his companion a whole day to travel the ten-kilometer stretch of road to finally reach the border.

This area is called the border, but there's really only one guard post.

There are towering cliffs on both sides, with only a narrow, winding path leading down the mountain.

To get across, you'll need something like a rope.

"Over there? You saw it?"

Lu Weiguo held the sleeping lynx, leaned against the tree, and looked in the direction the other was pointing.

"Hmm, I saw a light flash?"

What the hell?

Light?

Where they were, there were high mountains on both sides, which blocked most of the wind and snow.

However, visibility is still not very good.

"Yeah, it's just like the mirrors we used to play with when we were kids."

Liu Dazhuang recalled for a moment and said.

Mirror?

Reflective?

I am!

Could it be the Mosin-Nagant?!

Lu Weiguo was stunned for a moment.

You should know that before 1979, we did not have any domestically developed sniper rifles.

Especially in the Northeast region.

Almost everyone who carries a scope is using a Mosin-Nagant.

Moreover, very few people know how to use it.

But if it's not Mosin-Nagant, then it must be someone from the Russian side.

They're quite a distance from the border, so if they're Russians, they've crossed the line!

Lu Weiguo's mind was almost failing him at this point.

His original plan was to be at the border, ideally right when Qian Duolai had just crossed the border.

They'll kill Qian Duolai.

That way, even if they find out about him later, it won't have anything to do with him anymore.

That's why I'm taking this trip up the mountain so seriously.

They kept moving closer to the border.

But he seems to have forgotten one thing: if Qian Duolai crosses the border, given the nature of those people...

Someone from the Russian side will definitely come to pick you up.

There might still be villages near our border.

On the Russian side, there are truly no people within a hundred kilometers.

Moreover, these border areas were once our territory.

The Russians did some really ruthless things in those years, executing all the yellow-skinned people in the Far East.

What they fear most is losing this territory they've seized.

They came all the way here without a third person crossing the border right under their noses.

If there really is someone like that.

They were either informants who received more money, or Russian border guards.

The latter is alright, since this is still our territory.

If it's the former, then we'll inevitably have to deal with them in advance.

Lu Weiguo pondered for a while, then pressed Liu Dazhuang to the ground and finally decided to carefully approach him.

At that moment, he was incredibly grateful for the sudden blizzard.

If visibility were good, he would probably be dead by now.

The two of them moved forward slowly, one in front of the other, crouching down.

He saw the reflection after getting within ten meters.

This chilled him to the bone.

But when you actually get within three to five meters, you see the muzzle of a gun sticking out of the grass.

Lu Weiguo's heart suddenly raced.

Black muzzle, brown barrel, Soviet-made SVD sniper rifle.

It has a long range, high accuracy, and is equipped with full-power bullets.

One shot to the head, and he was shattered into pieces.

You'll definitely see Grandma instantly.
