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

The scariest thing is not seeing ghosts or gods with your own eyes.

Instead, they knew they were going to get into trouble, but fate was forcing them to move forward.

This feeling of powerlessness made Qian Yunshan feel fear for the first time!

Where are they?

The worship ceremony has ended.

Qian Yunshan stood alone on the platform.

Other leaders are surrounded by their followers.

More or less, there are always three or five people accompanying them.

But when I turned around, there was no one left!

A sense of insecurity welled up inside him, and he forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart.

He moved closer to the head of the forestry department.

"Old Zhao, I'm heading back now that the ceremony's over. You know I've been pretty busy lately, so I can't keep you company today. How about I treat you to drinks another day?"

Qian Yunshan wanted to leave.

It was as if a voice in his head was constantly giving him hints.

The forestry leader, known as Old Zhao, seemed to have heard something interesting.

He burst out laughing.

"Damn it! Are you kidding me? What's got you so busy? What are you pretending to be? Besides, do you even have a car to get back? You're just leaving?"

If we're going to drink, let's not postpone it. Let's go for a walk up the mountain together later. Our tent is over there; I've already made arrangements.

Flying dragons, pheasants, and a few small snakes—I had my men catch them specifically because I know you like snake soup.

You have no idea how difficult it is to catch those snakes this time of year!

These animals, which are now protected in later generations, are indeed delicacies on the dinner table in this era.

Especially in forestry areas, whenever a leader comes, it's always the leader saying he wants to eat tiger meat.

These former forestry leaders can get some for us.

Even in later generations, the more remote the village, the more precious the wild animals were used to entertain leaders.

They say they're domesticated, and that tests show no problems after they eat them.

This has become a consensus among everyone.

"Really, Lao Zhao, I really have something to do."

"Get out of here! We can talk about it tomorrow. Today, listen to me—we're drinking until we drop! It's such a big event!"

We can easily get several thousand kilograms of meat, isn't that something to celebrate? So shut up and just listen to my instructions today!

If you refuse again, you're disrespecting me!

After saying that, Old Zhao put his arm around Qian Yunshan's shoulder and refused to let him leave.

A sense of powerlessness welled up in Qian Yunshan's heart.

In Northeast China, face is of paramount importance. If you refuse after hearing these words, you are considered a mortal enemy.

In a daze.

He seemed to see a pair of cold eyes.

An inexplicable panic made his eyes lose focus.

They were pulled and dragged along by Lao Zhao as they walked off the stage.

The leader gave a speech; the formalities were done.

The rest is just the practical stuff!

The forestry team, led by the commune leader, along with a few mountain dogs, got together.

They began discussing how to successfully carry out this hunt.

Originally, Lu Weiguo should have stepped forward, but it was inconvenient for him to do so.

He pushed Huang He away in one swift motion.

Fortunately, this kid is quick-witted; he doesn't take on extra work, nor does he refuse or object.

You have to understand that it's an activity entirely dominated by men, so it's inherently competitive.

The forestry workers and the mountain dog argued until their faces turned red.

Neither side would back down, and both were saying they would use their own cronies to lead the charge.

Only the Yellow Crane neither competes nor fights.

Instead, he won everyone's favor.

At last!

The result of the discussion was exactly as Lu Weiguo had expected!

Mountain Dog is in charge of heading towards the deep mountains in the border direction!

More than ten mountain dogs, nearly forty hunting dogs.

They are all incredibly talented people who have lived in seclusion in the mountains for many years.

He's the perfect person to be in charge of that most dangerous area.

Familiar with the terrain, ruthless and fierce!

The prey is divided 50/50.

Half is for oneself, and half is handed over.

However, this was just a verbal agreement. Hunting in winter is also called specimen hunting.

The prey that was caught was buried directly in the snow and froze solid in no time.

We can dig it up after the hunt is over.

This way, the meat can be preserved very well.

But in this situation, how many prey they actually hunted is ultimately up to those few mountain dogs to decide.

The forestry department is responsible for the remaining areas where logging has just begun.

There were their logging teams, supplies, and even people and guns there.

It belongs to the area that has been contracted.

The last commune hunting party.

Only a handful of people, about a dozen, were responsible for the foothills.

However, the forestry hunting team was protecting the leader's presence at the event and the subsequent drinking session.

The surrounding area had already been scouted.

They even discovered quite a few "wild" traps.

By default, this area has been cleaned up.

Just let the commune's hunting team protect the leaders.

"It's done!!"

Just after Huang He finished explaining the mission, Lu Weiguo clenched his fist heavily!

More than a week of hard work!

The arrangements over the past week have all progressed according to his plan!

Who says hunting doesn't require using your brain?

Only through tripartite communication and a deep understanding of human nature can a plan be executed so perfectly.

At this moment, the dozen or so people surrounding Lu Weiguo were looking at him as if he were a monster.

Huang He, in particular, knew about Lu Weiguo's plan.

Once you're on that pirate ship, there's no getting off.

He was afraid that he might say the wrong thing and ruin Lu Weiguo's plans.

From the allocation of locations to the communication between them, it was almost exactly the same scene as Lu Weiguo's previous entrustment!

Lu Weiguo even predicted that Qian Yunshan would be taken away by forestry leaders!

The other hunting teams sent by the communes.

Because of the strict internal management of the commune, many people had not touched a gun for many years.

Unfortunately, not everyone can get a gun license.

They only intended to go through the motions.

Just as Lu Weiguo had promised, they were assigned to the safest area.

Every family has both elderly and young members.

Who wouldn't want to complete their mission safely and then take the meat home?

"Little Lu, you're awesome! From now on, we old guys will follow you."

"That's fine. I thought we'd be assigned to a place near our village. There have been wolves howling around the village these past few days, and the kids from our village haven't been able to leave the house in ages."

"Yes, I'm old and useless now. My family depends on me to earn work points, so I really don't dare to go up the mountain anymore."

"This trip will not only provide meat, but also a full centimeter of credit per day. As long as I can make it back alive, I can have a good New Year this year."

Praise and extol.

More than ten dogs hung their heads, not daring to utter a single bark.

The people are listless, and the dog probably hasn't been up the mountain in a long time.

"Okay, guys, we'll just follow behind. If we spot any prey, let my two brothers go first, and we'll split the spoils equally."

To put it bluntly, you are all my elders, and this is what a junior should do.

Lu Weiguo's words were worthwhile, so wait until he disappeared into the crowd.

The hunters could also vouch for him, saying that he went to catch prey.

As soon as these words were spoken, another round of praise rang out.

Huang He silently gave Lu Weiguo a thumbs-up.

He couldn't help but marvel inwardly, "If someone can act like that, how could they not succeed!"

However, at this moment, besides admiration, he felt mostly joy at having chosen the right person to follow.

Damn it, putting everything else aside, just the fact that they used gold beans to dig a hole led them to where Qian Yunshan hid his money.

Then turn around and grab.

He's gotten more money and tickets in the last few days than he's ever heard of in his entire life!
