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

Lu Weiguo went through this process.

Whenever the existing order is broken, there is always a period of chaos first.

Of course, this is also the reason why our country is so strong.

If this happened in another country, it would either split or disintegrate.

Yet, thanks to our publicity and down-to-earth nature, we still managed to achieve high-quality development even amidst the chaos.

"Holy crap! This bear is huge! Damn! Why is it shedding? Aren't they supposed to shed their fur in March and April?!"

After finishing their business, Lao Liu looked at Hei Xiazi's corpse and secretly marveled.

It has to be said, this bear is really big.

If it were autumn, it would probably weigh around 500 jin (250 catties).

The only downside is that it smells like an old bear, and if Lao Liu tugs on it, a handful of fur will come off.

"Old Bear, he was just waving at me like a human, he's the legendary white-faced bear."

"Wow, that's amazing! Where's the bear bile? Did you get it out?"

Bear bile has anti-inflammatory and heat-clearing properties, but it's something you can only find by chance.

Drinking it regularly after soaking it in alcohol can also treat lower back and leg pain.

At this time, there was even a saying that a drop of bear bile should be put into the eyes of a one- or two-year-old child.

The child will never have any eye problems.

"Look at that old, withered thing, how could it possibly have bear gall? But its nose and bones are pretty good stuff, I'll get them and send them to you when we get back."

Old bear meat doesn't taste good, and its fur sheds, especially if it has eaten humans.

That body also contained a substance that humans could not digest.

"Damn, I feel like you've been cursing at me all day. Calling me an old hag all the time. Fine, I'll get someone to help you get this thing down later."

Please save one of these bear paws for me, I'm not eating it myself, I'll give it away.

Lu Weiguo did not refuse this offer.

Bear paws are considered a delicacy.

But if not handled properly, it will smell like stinky feet that haven't been washed for years.

Especially Old Bear.

Nothing major has happened, and there are no cases to handle.

These junior police officers naturally became public servants serving the people.

Village Chief Huang and his entourage saw them off at the village entrance.

Old Liu was driving, preparing to take the young man with the injured hand back.

Two of my fingers were blown apart, and one broke off.

I don't know if it will connect.

"Let's go! Damn it, let's go find Wang Defa!"

Village Chief Huang was furious and didn't even plan to process the bear meat right now.

"What's your rush? Once he knows we're back, does he think he'll stay in the village? Grasshoppers can only hop around for a year."

"Let's light a fire in the village courtyard; it's almost dawn. Let's deal with this bear first."

"That's true. So, you want a share of this bear?"

Village Chief Huang was also a bit tired, and kept taking puffs of the cigarette that Lu Weiguo handed him.

The thought of my old pipe, which I've been smoking for over forty years, being trampled and broken by that young man was unbearable.

I felt a surge of anger again.

"Divide it up. This meat isn't worth much. Let each family share a little to try. I'll even make you some liquor with the bear basket."

"Keep the bear's head, paws, skin, and those kneecaps for me."

"Whatever, you're rich now, you don't even care about this meat anymore. But it's fine, don't let it go to waste, consider it your wages for building your house tomorrow!"

Village Chief Huang couldn't stand Lu Weiguo's wastefulness.

They made the decision directly for Lu Weiguo.

A series of rooster crows rang out.

The whole village was suddenly full of life.

Two large pots in the village courtyard were steaming, and the aroma of meat inside was irresistible.

The pot was filled with bear entrails and other miscellaneous items.

A pound of liquor was put in, along with a large pile of dried wild vegetables.

The other pot is pure meat!

Li Xiulian was worried about Lu Weiguo's safety and didn't sleep well all night. She rushed to the village branch as soon as it was light.

Upon entering the courtyard, one could see Lu Weiguo by the fire, processing two intact bear teeth.

As expected of an old bear, those bear teeth are over twenty inches long.

The grooves inside the tooth were filled with blood.

In humans, this would mean tooth inflammation.

But in a bear, that essence and blood are used to ward off disasters and evil spirits.

"Honey, are you alright?"

Li Xiulian looked at Lu Weiguo, a little angry. He had returned safely, yet he hadn't even bothered to come home and say hello.

"Oh? My daughter-in-law's here. How did the dental work go? When you get back, braid a rope for the two kids to wear."

"Hmph, I always knew it was the child. Do you know how worried I was about you?"

Men are generally slow to react, and it wasn't until this moment that he realized something was wrong with Li Xiulian.

"Oh dear, is it because I haven't prepared a gift for you yet? There are so many bear bones here, pick one, and I'll carve a peace buckle for you."

"Oh dear! Who wants your gift! I was worried about you, you blockhead."

Li Xiulian was so angry that she stomped her feet.

Lu Weiguo, however, burst into laughter.

"Haha, I know, I was just kidding. I smell really bad, and it's all bloody. I'm afraid I'll bring something dirty home with me and scare you and the baby."

But it's also my fault. I should have sent someone back to inform you. It definitely won't happen again next time.

That's one good thing about Li Xiulian; she rarely makes unreasonable demands, as long as your explanation is sufficient.

Then you can go there.

Of course, this is also a principle that people in this era generally follow.

Regardless of age or gender, everyone is busy making a living.

In that time it took to make such a fuss, you could have dug up several potatoes from the ground.

The sun gradually rose.

Aside from the place where Lu Weiguo built his house, this courtyard in Tiancun had the most people.

Almost the entire village came.

Although it was just after the New Year, the villagers still had some food in their stomachs.

But who wouldn't want to eat a few more bites of meat?

Even Lu Dewang brought his two children over!

The whole village is watching over these two pots, waiting for the sauerkraut to be cooked so they can eat lunch!

Of course, Zhang Dexing and Wang Defa were the only two missing.

This made many older women feel itchy; why was there no one to touch their hands today?

"Dad! Weiguo! Come quick!! Ruizhi's water broke!! She's going into labor!! Is there a midwife?! I... I'll go find Old Mrs. Chang!"

See, this is the reputation of Mrs. Chang.

Whenever someone gets sick, no matter what kind of illness it is.

Even if it were a childbirth, she would be the first person I thought of.

"Why go find her? These days everyone talks about scientific childbirth. Go find Liu Dazhuang and get the oxcart!"

Then Lu Weiguo turned around and pulled Li Xiulian away.

"Xiulian, you stay with your sister-in-law and help her carry all the bedding and other supplies. It's her first time giving birth, and she has no experience."

"They don't have a husband's family yet, so let's go and take care of them first. Your mother can look after the child here."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiulian simply nodded repeatedly.

He was increasingly satisfied with the atmosphere at the Lu family home.

Ever since my sister-in-law broke ties with her family.

The Lu family will not bully daughters-in-law who have no family of their own.

The whole family even pitched in to take meticulous care of their sister-in-law.

From this perspective, the Lu family's background is quite good.

"I know, don't worry. I've had two kids. Oh, and could you also help your older brother's family prepare some money? That way, we can step in if anything happens."
