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

Chapter 210, vanished?

Is it worth a thousand dollars?

In later generations, a thousand dollars could be enough to build a good relationship with a police captain.

Do you think it's worth it?

However, people of this era do not have this kind of thinking, and Lao Liu does not have this sense of crisis.

If Lu Weiguo is a bad person, he could easily ruin him with just a thousand yuan.

But at that moment, Lao Liu wasn't thinking about any of that.

It was another lead on human traffickers, and another about my sister's life-saving money.

Old Liu was already excitedly taking off.

People are always in high spirits when good things happen, it's true!

Fueled by their conviction, they were able to uncover where the human traffickers had come from when they left the city.

The footprints can only be traced up to the foot of the mountain because so many people have come up the mountain recently, making the footprints chaotic.

Even after hiring two hunting dogs, they couldn't find any trace of the human traffickers.

"How about I go up the mountain for a walk? But I need to go home first."

After a whole day of fruitless searching, Lu Weiguo was indeed getting a little anxious.

"Can your nose be sharper than a hunting dog's when you're up in the mountains?"

"I can't, but the lynx next to me can!" Is his lynx the same one that attacked Qian Yunshan?

Opinions vary.

There are so many animals in the mountains, you can't just force them into categories.

But Lao Liu probably knew what was going on.

"Really?"

"It should be fine. Lynxes have a better nose than dogs. With so many kids, their eating, drinking, and relieving themselves all smell, so it's impossible to hide them too well."

Lu Weiguo stated definitively.

Moreover, he kept praying that those human traffickers at least had some humanity, since the first child to go missing had been missing for over a week.

If they still can't find it, living in these mountains for a week would be unbearable, let alone for children, even for hunters.

"Alright, I'll go report to Secretary Zhao and then get people to search the mountain!"

"Okay! Let's split it up in two."

Searching the mountain with people means traversing a large area, meter by meter.

Human and material resources are the biggest costs.

Fortunately, this is Northeast China, so once the news spreads, many people will spontaneously come.

Lu Weiguo returned home that night without waking his family.

Just as they reached the door, the night owl Wangcai came out of the shack on his own.

Lynxes, unlike dogs, cannot be leashed.

This thing has a high degree of freedom; it can only be raised free-range.

Fortunately, there were two sables at home, which Wangcai always thought were food that Lu Weiguo fed to it.

I'll eat the sable when it grows up.

That's why they're willing to stay home at night, which is really about guarding their food.

Sables are rare, and the same applies to animals.

Moreover, sable meat is all lean and has a unique aroma.

Everyone who eats it says it's delicious.

"Wangcai, can you help me find someone?"

Lu Weiguo took out several family heirloom toys from the shed.

There are his handmade wooden rocking cars, as well as some small wooden knives and slingshots.

"You know, kids who just love playing with these toys, right?"

The lynx lay on the roof of the quilted shelter, squinting its eyes and looking at Lu Weiguo with an arrogant air.

It's as if you're kidding me.

Isn't the owner of this toy right inside the house?

"It was a group of many, many children this big..."

Lu Weiguo gestured as he spoke.

But animals are animals after all.

Wangcai still had that look on his face as if he were an idiot.

"Looking for someone!! Looking for someone in the mountains! Looking for two-legged creatures!"

Lu Weiguo sighed helplessly.

But as soon as he said that, the lynx stood up instantly.

She jumped onto Lu Weiguo's shoulder.

"Um?"

Can you understand this?

What about just now?

Lu Weiguo slapped his forehead. Sure enough, being with an idiot made him an idiot too.

It's just an animal; what does it understand about adults and children? It could just say it's looking for someone.

Take the lynx with you and ride your bike.

After a bumpy ride that left Lu Weiguo feeling dizzy and disoriented, they finally arrived at a barren mountain not far from the county town.

This barren mountain is truly quite unique.

Unlike the previous Shanquangou and Dongshan Cemetery.

The mountain is positioned right in the wind's path, causing a temperature difference of more than one degree between the left and right sides of the mountain.

When the northeast wind is weak, the temperature is a little higher.

Therefore, there are very few animals here, and the living conditions are poor, so small animals cannot stay.

Large animals rarely gather here because they can't find food.

Even when hunting, few people come to set traps.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Lu Weiguo locked his bicycle and hid it in a patch of grass, covering it with tree branches.

Seeing this, the lynx knew they had arrived at their destination. Ignoring Lu Weiguo, it jumped onto a tree and ran into the mountains.

"Damn it, even a dog knows to wait for someone. I'll replace him sooner or later!!"

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle~~"

A grinding sound rang out.

A lynx appeared above Lu Weiguo's head.

Lu Weiguo shut up and dared not say that Wangcai was naughty again.

Following the footprints Wangcai left on the tree.

They searched the entire mountaintop but found no trace of human traffickers or children.

Wangcai was also surprised.

The mountains are its territory; as long as there are people in the mountains, there's nothing it can't find!

Just as the two stood on the hilltop, feeling the north wind blowing from the other side of the mountain.

A little yellow weasel popped its head out of the snow.

Those two little short paws kept flapping against my face.

Then he stuck out his buttocks, facing Lu Weiguo and the lynx.

Turning back, I kept observing the movements of the two animals.

After Lu Weiguo was reborn, he didn't have a system or anything like that.

But with improved physical fitness, one also develops a better affinity for nature.

Even their luck improved considerably.

"What do you mean? Are you asking what you look like?"

Lu Weiguo's words seem to have triggered a key phrase.

The weasel suddenly perked up!

He stood with his legs spread wide, looking just like a person.

Then he pointed in a direction and disappeared into the snow.

"Wangcai, do you understand what I mean?"

Lu Weiguo was completely bewildered, while Wangcai, used to eating cooked meat, couldn't be bothered to look at the stinking weasel.

Before the two had rested enough, and before they had even finished smoking a cigarette...

The weasel is out again!

It's still pointing in that direction!

Then it burrowed into the snow again, and this time, no matter how much Lu Weiguo asked it what it looked like, it wouldn't come out again.

"Is it really pointing us in the right direction?"

Lu Weiguo grinned, his face filled with disbelief.

However, that area is right in the north wind's eye, so the wind is strong and the snow is heavy. It's also a place that neither the person nor the lynx has ever been before.

Lu Weiguo felt sorry for the lynx and wrapped it in his clothes.

Tie the dog-skin hat tightly.

They walked towards that direction, stumbling along the muddy path.

Before we even reached the windy spot, the snow was already more than half a person high.

Every step Lu Weiguo took was difficult.

Let alone those children.

He instantly felt an urge to be played by a beast.

"Damn! I hunt every day, and I still got tricked by a weasel?"

Lu Weiguo shook his head and smiled bitterly.

After walking another ten meters or so, the snow was already as high as his neck.

Moreover, there were no signs of human activity in the surrounding area.

There wasn't even a sign of an animal.
