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

"what!"

"What's wrong, Jia Cheng!"

The two sisters are reflecting on their lives.

Suddenly, Lu Jiacheng shouted!

"Whoa! Mom, be quiet, I want to go hunting!"

"Ah?" Li Xiulian exclaimed in surprise, then covered her mouth.

"Hunting? Hahaha, you little brat, you want to hunt? The prey is bigger than you."

Li Xiuhe laughed without restraint.

"Third Aunt, don't say anything, really. You all stay here and don't move. Watch what I do."

Lu Jiacheng's buttocks, like little earthworms swaying back and forth.

This amused Li Xiuhe so much that she covered her mouth.

However, she obediently lowered her voice and looked in the direction Lu Jiacheng was pointing.

There's nothing there~

Li Xiulian muttered something under her breath, but the words had barely left her lips when...

The bushes over there began to sway rhythmically, startling the two sisters so much they dared not move.

Li Xiulian held Lu Jiahuan tightly in her arms.

Li Xiuhe was even a little scared when she saw this.

She had heard how ferocious the wild animals in the mountains were.

"Here I am! Watch this!"

Lu Jiacheng shouted and jumped into the river, then ran across to the other side in three quick steps.

"Jiacheng, come back!!!"

Li Xiulian was truly panicked. Li Xiuhe had only heard about it, but she knew all too well how ferocious the wild animals in the mountains were.

"Sis, hold the baby, I'm coming over..."

"Maybe we won't need to."

Li Xiulian turned back, intending to hand Jia Huan over to her sister.

However, at this moment, Li Xiuhe opened her mouth and pointed in the direction of Lu Jiacheng.

"Huh?" Li Xiulian turned around to look.

On the other side of the river, a few-month-old roe deer tilted its head, curiously observing this side.

It was as if they were asking who had made the noise.

Lu Jiacheng happened to peek out from under the riverbank and jumped up to hug the little roe deer around the neck.

Four- or five-year-old children are at a mischievous age, when they can run and climb.

As he embraced the silly roe deer, he lightly leaped onto it.

I sat steadily on the back of the silly roe deer.

The little roe deer kept struggling, but it was still just a baby.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stand up under Lu Jiacheng's weight.

"Haha, I told you it would definitely come back! Mom, I'm awesome, right?!"

Lu Jiacheng used his buttocks to press down on the lower half of the roe deer's waist, causing the roe deer to completely give up its resistance.

"No, you little brat, who did you learn this from? When did you learn it? Slow down!" Li Xiulian said, half crying and half laughing.

The father was always thinking about going hunting in the mountains.

The younger one is starting to follow in his father's footsteps.

"I learned it all from Uncle Dazhuang. Back in the Xing'an Mountains, Uncle Dazhuang and I would tease the silly roe deer like that."

This thing is so much fun! Just call out to it, and it comes running back by itself in no time.

Lu Jiacheng danced with joy as the silly roe deer struggled, then casually plucked a few blades of grass and wove them into a rope.

They tied the roe deer's four legs together and dragged it across the river.

"You always have to be more careful; you scared your mother half to death."

The silly roe deer doesn't struggle; anyone who's ever caught one knows that.

Once it loses its strength, unlike other animals, it blinks its big eyes and remains motionless as if resigned to its fate.

"This thing is so cute, I don't want to eat it."

Li Xiuhe squatted down and stroked the roe deer's fur.

That look didn't suggest reluctance to eat; it was clearly more interested in the fur coat she was wearing.

"Tch, we're getting some benefits from the kids today too. I remember there was a knife in your basket over there; we'll have barbecue later."

Li Xiuhe rolled up her sleeves and got to work. In this era, there were no cute rabbits, so why would anyone eat rabbits?

Anyone who has this idea is relatively well-off materially, which is why they want their thinking to become more progressive.

However, for people in this era, having enough to eat and drink was the primary task.

Spiritual fulfillment depends entirely on what happens after the lights are turned off at night.

This is why family planning was so difficult to implement back then.

Every household had four or five children.

Although Li Xiulian had never skinned a roe deer herself, she had learned the ropes of the business through observation and experience.

The roe deer's neck was snapped.

He carried the four legs to the riverbank, skinned them while rinsing them with the river water, and they didn't look so bloody anymore.

After breaking the meat down, just throw it into the river to soak.

The river water was cool and clear; although it was not drinkable, it was much cleaner than that of later generations.

A four- or five-month-old roe deer only weighs about ten kilograms.

After removing the skin, there are also internal organs.

In addition, Li Xiulian's skills were mediocre, and the actual amount of meat she could remove was more than five or six pounds.

Lu Jiacheng was not idle at this time either. He selected the harder branches from the willow tree and broke them off.

Remove the leaves, wash it clean in the river, and use a knife to carve a pointed tip.

Skewer the meat that Li Xiulian cut.

Li Xiuhe felt superfluous, watching the mother and son work together so seamlessly.

The envy in her eyes, and her affection for Lu Jiacheng, were overflowing.

"It's so good to have your own precious son; he can do chores at such a young age."

"Sister, you can do it too, it's not like you can't have children."

Li Xiuhe joked with a smile.

"I'm already so old. According to my mom, if I don't get married soon, I'll go through menopause, hahaha."

The two sisters laughed without restraint.

The fire, which was about to go out, was rekindled.

At this point, there was no charcoal available; they simply kept raising the frame higher.

Grilling meat skewers over an open flame.

In no time, the aroma of meat filled the entire riverbank.

The group of people were so hungry that their mouths watered.

"Delicious!! It tastes so good even without any seasoning!!"

"Little Jia Cheng, you're amazing!"

"Oh, I love you so much, come here and give me a kiss from Auntie."

As soon as the meat skewer entered her mouth, Li Xiuhe's praises never stopped.

Grilled meat over an open flame, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

The meat of this roe deer, which was lively and energetic just half an hour ago, tastes absolutely fresh.

Because it's a fawn, it's even still drinking milk.

The meat has a rich, milky flavor and no unpleasant odor at all.

Even Lu Jiahuan ate some.

"Jiacheng, soak the rest in water. We'll save them for your dad to eat when he gets home tonight. We don't know if he'll be able to hunt anything."

"Don't let your son be any more capable!"

After Li Xiulian finished speaking, she covered her mouth and giggled foolishly.

And the Lu Weiguo they were talking about.

At this point, there was really no gain at all.

Standing under the crabapple tree, they kept throwing crabapples into the basket.

Hunting in the summer is fraught with challenges, and even Wangcai (the cat) has difficulty finding prey.

Moreover, black bears are active all the time during the summer.

It is preparing for hibernation, making it difficult to locate the bear by its tracks.

"Damn it, it would be embarrassing to go back empty-handed. I'll get two baskets of wild crabapples; that means I've spent the whole day dealing with this stuff..."
