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

"Katerina, I wanted to stay with you for a few more days, but given the situation, you should go back now."

I've entrusted everything to you. I'll come visit you with some things after I'm done with this work in a few days.

It happened suddenly, and the daytime plans were completed inexplicably.

This forces the newlyweds, who had just managed to maintain a relationship, to face the prospect of separation.

Moreover, Katerina's subsequent progress was also not good.

They can only separate under these conditions.

"Lu! I can't bear to part with you, I still want to be with you..."

"Stop dawdling! You're acting like an old woman. Come on, I'll come find you in a bit."

Lu Weiguo lowered his head and kissed her.

As a result, Katerina pounced on Lu Weiguo like a blind man.

After munching away for ages, until I was almost suffocating, I reluctantly packed my bags and left.

After all, Lu Weiguo wasn't in a hurry, and Zhang Benmo's collapse would take some time.

Boss Xiong and his group live far away, so it will take them even longer to get back.

After watching Katerina leave, Lu Weiguo slowly carried Liu Dazhuang down the mountain.

"Wangcai, go play for a while, I'll call you when I leave."

As they approached the former snowdrift, Lu Weiguo chased Wangcai away.

Actually, he had a lot of money but bad luck.

If we find another place to rest, Wangcai will definitely not go there.

But the place where he rested was the very place where Lu Weiguo and Katerina had their affair.

Wangcai was a little overwhelmed by what he did.

When they left, they left a splash of urine as a way of marking their territory.

Lu Weiguo dared not move.

The two men embracing each other, though it didn't understand what they were doing.

Hugging and cuddling is no different from provoking Wangcai.

Biting off necks is something Wangcai has done before.

Practice makes perfect, and it has clearly become quite professional.

"Wow, that's impressive, you just started doing it without warning."

Before Xiong Laoda and his gang arrived, Lu Weiguo stood on the snowdrift and looked at Zhang Benmo with a smile.

"I didn't! It wasn't me! Brother, save me! You should know I don't have the guts to kill anyone!"

I was just about to let him go, but then a beast came and bit its neck off...

When Zhang Benmo saw Lu Weiguo, it was as if he had seen a savior.

I quickly regained my composure.

"I don't know about that, but is it important? What's important is that someone saw you kill him."

You need to deal with those guys first. Remember what I told you? They're just a bunch of thugs.

I'll side with whoever has money and power; there's no need to be so particular. I can protect you.

But how you convince them is up to you.

Qian Duolai had protection by his side. Lu Weiguo's previous plan was to take a sneak shot and then run away.

But Zhang Benmo's arrival killed three birds with one stone; he could simply disguise himself as a passing hunter.

What is his relationship with Zhang Benmo?

Lu Weiguo could only chuckle. He could be used, but deep conversations were superficial.

After all, he's someone who can be exploited these past few years.

If he remains the same as in his previous life, his father-in-law will be able to deal with him personally in this life.

His wife had just finished her postpartum confinement period when he started seeing other women.

With just one point, Lu Weiguo was able to completely control him.

"Don't move! Don't come any closer! I didn't kill anyone. They saw it. It was a beast who killed him!"

Boss Xiong returned faster than expected.

They weren't carrying Li Dahai with them, which meant Li Dahai was no longer of any use to them. As for whether he was dead or not, that depended on how ruthless these people were.

However, in Lu Weiguo's view, they at least did not have the courage to kill people with their own hands.

They are not the gangsters of later generations.

Rather, it's because they're already living quite well, especially Boss Xiong.

When you're all alone and ready to fight and struggle.

If life were good, who would still do that kind of thing?

He's got too much money.

Xiong Laoda and his group were much calmer than Lu Weiguo had imagined.

Faced with Zhang Benmo's double-gun stance, Li Xiangyang was ready to pounce.

Boss Xiong wasn't afraid, and he led his underlings step by step over there.

"Don't come any closer or I'll shoot! I really didn't kill him, take whatever you want..."

"I believe that either you killed him or you did, and it wasn't intentional."

Xiong Laoda acted as if he hadn't seen Zhang Benmo, and also pretended not to see the Lu Weiguo brothers.

He walked forward, took the bag of money, pulled out a few bills, and threw them to the silly-looking Li Lao Er.

Then they began to loot Qian Duolai's belongings.

A watch, a gold nugget, and two letters.

He opened the letter, saw there was no money in it, and threw it on the ground.

Then, without turning back, he led his underlings away.

"You're just leaving like that?"

"Once the work is done, what are we still doing here?"

Xiong Laoda walked calmly, but his ability to reply clearly indicated his intention to communicate with Zhang Benmo.

However, this series of actions gave him the upper hand in his conversation with Zhang Benmo.

"Brother, let's cooperate from now on. If you don't tell anyone, I can vouch for my innocence. We're both in the same town..."

Zhang Benmo was dumbfounded. He copied what Lu Weiguo had taught him, like a cat trying to imitate a tiger.

Upon hearing this, Xiong Laoda chuckled and looked up at Lu Weiguo.

"Brother, if I'm not mistaken, you're Lu Weiguo from Struggle Village?"

"Oh, you recognize me."

Lu Weiguo stared at Xiong Laoda. Just from what he had just done, he knew that this kid was someone special.

However, I don't recall ever hearing of this person in my previous life.

"I don't know him, but Wang Defa from your village used the promise of taking us to gamble in the next county as leverage to get me to mess with you. You'd better watch out."

The two men stood before Qian Duolai's corpse.

The conversation had absolutely nothing to do with having more money.

"Then thank you, bro."

Lu Weiguo smiled as he fiddled with the hunting rifle in his hand.

"Since we're brothers, if you need anything in town, come find me. Also, don't point your gun at your brothers."

Before turning around, Boss Xiong said something with a smile.

He simply patted Zhang Benmo's face and shook his head.

That was as if to say, "You lowly nobody aren't worthy of cooperating with me."

Then he and his underlings disappeared into the night.

"He's not stupid, he's someone to be reckoned with."

Based on this alone, Lu Weiguo had a very high opinion of this so-called Boss Xiong.

Ten years ago, he might have been a powerful and influential figure.

But it's almost the 1980s...

Such people gradually disappeared with history.

Are there really any old hands here?

In this society, do we really need to fight with real guns and swords?

That's just plain stupid.

"Hey, let's go. Go back to your father-in-law now. He's got money to burn. Tell him the truth."

Don't mention me, my status in your father-in-law's heart is much higher than yours.

Half truth, half lie. Knowing that Qian Duolai is dead, he'll protect you.

However... you should be nicer to your wife and kids. You've had your fun outside, don't bring your emotions home.

There is more than one way down the mountain.

He was also afraid that his relationship with Zhang Benmo would be discovered by someone with ulterior motives.

Furthermore, there have been continuous gunshots here for the past few days.

If that attracts the border guards, it'll be a disaster.

Of course, the border guards didn't come; he guessed the Qian family had also given them instructions.

But that's a story for another time.

After spending so much time on the mountain, it's time to go home and spend some time with my wife and kids.

It won't be too late for him to go to the county town when Zhao Kaishan personally comes to him for help.
