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

Fully armed, one man and one lynx.

We should at least bring back a silly roe deer.

We've been walking along the riverbank for over an hour, and not a single roe deer has come to drink water.

Lu Weiguo marveled at the newbie's good luck.

Even God took care of them.

But just then, a white animal without eyes appeared before them.

"This is???"

"A blind man?" Lu Weiguo was dumbfounded when he saw this animal.

This is a specialty of the Greater Khingan Mountains; you can hardly find it anywhere else.

"Blind Man's Pestle" is a dialect term from Northeast China.

It describes someone as having blind eyes, but not actually being blind.

This phrase often comes from the wife, implying that her husband doesn't see the housework.

The scientific name for the blind mole rat is the Northeast mole rat, also known as the ground sheep. It is stout and cylindrical in shape.

Because they live underground year-round, their eyes have degenerated into tiny specks, hidden in their downy fur, resulting in extremely poor eyesight. They rely entirely on their ears and fur.

Moreover, the ears are hidden in the hair.

Looking at it, it looks like a round, plump little piglet with only a mouth.

"Aaaaaah! This is unbelievable! Even God is saying I'm a complete idiot!" Lu Weiguo was furious.

This thing is a rodent; it doesn't harm crops and only eats earthworms and larvae.

It's not harmful in itself, but the meat doesn't taste good.

Even during the years of natural disasters, no one ate these things.

Only the lynx Wangcai found this thing strange and pawed at it with its paw.

"Don't touch it, it's covered in bacteria. Let's go into the mountains, I'm going to fight the heavens today!!"

Can Lu Weiguo fight against fate?

It's hard to say.

But the punishment from God was truly swift.

Just as the man and the lynx entered the deep mountains.

There was a click.

A pine tree as thick as a thigh suddenly collapsed.

It hurtled towards Lu Weiguo.

At first, Lu Weiguo didn't pay attention, as this kind of situation is very common in the mountains.

You can easily avoid it by simply dodging to the side where the tree has fallen.

At this moment, you must not run away.

No matter how fast you run, you're not as tall as a tree, and you're very likely to be crushed to death by it.

Many inexperienced loggers are injured in this way.

But before he could take a few steps, a tree inexplicably collapsed towards him.

This really terrified Lu Weiguo.

The tree falling is normal, but...

They all fell in his direction, isn't that a bit too much of a coincidence?

Lu Weiguo dodged easily to the left.

But looking at the marks on the trees beside him, he really didn't dare to move.

The pine tree, as thick as a thigh, was covered with cracks.

The crack was covered with scratches and a few black hairs remained on it.

Judging by the naked eye alone, it looks very much like the hair of a black bear.

Moreover, the black bear's mating season is quite unique, and there are hardly any scenes of affection between them.

Female black bears rub their bodies against large trees, leaving behind a distinctive scent.

This will attract many male black bears to compete for them.

The winner mates with a female black bear.

Then he went off to enjoy himself, leaving the female black bear to conceive and give birth.

During hibernation, the baby bear gives birth painlessly, and the little black bear grows up by finding its mother's milk on its own.

Lu Weiguo didn't dare to move because of those few hairs.

Instead, the big tree seemed to be possessed, swaying wildly in the wind.

It could collapse at any time.

No matter which way Lu Weiguo went, the tree would sway in that direction.

"Damn it... Wangcai, that's not fair! Come here, don't run away!"

Wangcai probably sensed the danger too, and hid in a tree far away, licking its paws and not coming closer.

"Is this just unbeatable? Damn it, why am I having such bad luck today?!"

Lu Weiguo carefully observed the tree, glancing around out of the corner of his eye to analyze the escape route.

Don't think Lu Weiguo is being overly cautious.

If it really is as he guessed, that they can't be brought down.

Then he might really die here today.

The tree that cannot be broken down, also known as the tree evil spirit, is a unique legend in the forestry industry of Northeast China.

It is specifically for punishing humans who disrespect mountain gods and tree spirits.

When a tree is normally felled, the foreman or lumberjack will anticipate the direction it will fall and leave an escape route. However, if it cannot be uprooted, it is beyond human control. If you move to the left, the tree will lean to the left.

You turn around and run, and the entire tree crashes down behind you, specifically targeting your movement.

It's like they've been cheated.

The old saying goes, "If you can't bend a tree, just sit still and grow old. If you run around, the tree will fall on you."

Rough words are not rough.

However, there are ways to break the deadlock.

That is to take off your old clothes and throw them on the other side of your body.

If a tree falls on old clothes, it means the mountain god isn't angry; rather, it's because you're having bad luck that the tree hits your old clothes.

It can take away bad luck and prevent you from suffering from minor illnesses and disasters.

Once Lu Weiguo thought of this, he immediately put it into action.

To be honest, he really felt that his luck hadn't been too good lately.

Otherwise, you'd never return empty-handed if you didn't climb the mountain.

Take off your coat and throw it to the other side.

Lu Weiguo just stood there quietly.

really!

A sudden gust of wind blew in, directly causing the unyielding object to lose its direction.

It went straight at his old clothes and threw them.

The falling of the large tree created a trail of smoke.

As the smoke dissipated.

The sharpest, hardest branch of that big tree struck the old man in the chest.

If this were to hit someone, even the King of Heaven couldn't save them.

Just as he was congratulating himself, perhaps God had taken away his bad luck.

"Aww~~"

Two animal cries rang out from not far away.

Then came a series of flesh-on-flesh impacts.

"Wangcai! Come on!! You fucking get closer to me."

Lu Weiguo's face lit up with joy upon hearing the voice.

The animal's call was all too familiar.

Isn't this the Black Bear he's been longing for?

Moreover, judging from the sounds, it was clearly two black bears fighting.

What does it mean when the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman benefits?

Once the bad luck is gone, all that's left is good luck.

However, he was still not in a hurry.

The experience was too dreamlike; I should be more careful on the mountain next time.

Bending over and crouching low, Lu Weiguo parted the patch of weeds in front of him.

Just five or six meters away, two robust black bears stood up abruptly.

They stood almost face to face, staring intently at each other.

No one yielded.

Then came a series of slapping motions.

Clearly, the two bears were evenly matched, and neither gained the upper hand in their series of attacks.

After they lost their footing and fell back to the ground, they continued to collide with each other.

Stimulated by the scent of the opposite sex, only by winning can one gain the right to a spouse.

"This thing must weigh at least 300 pounds, Wangcai. I'm going to shoot one of them in a bit, can you help me distract the other one?"

Two shotgun shells, plus two bullets in my hand.

It can fire four bullets in an instant.

Bears have thick hides and tough flesh, so the bullet's power is barely enough to cover the bear's hide.

If we let it take down the 56 again, would we still need Wangcai?
