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

"Awooo!~"

Miserable and painful, compared to a headshot, the lynx's attack caused the wolf to feel pain.

Meanwhile, Lu Weiguo and his companion were not idle either.

Two more shots were fired in quick succession, both hitting their targets perfectly.

Faced with "truth," even the fiercest beasts can only flee in terror.

What seemed like a long time had passed was actually only a moment, and the wolf pack, which had just been preparing to encircle the wolf, was now gone.

It vanished instantly.

However, of the five wolves that were killed, two were carried away by the surviving wolves.

"Damn it! That's mine!!"

Liu Dazhuang didn't know how to reload, and holding the shotgun, he tried to chase after the enemy as if he were wielding a big stick.

Before he could run two steps, Lu Weiguo grabbed him by the collar.

"Come back! Are you crazy? Don't chase a cornered enemy. We can't pursue a fleeing wolf too far. Do you think we can outrun four people with just two legs?"

Lu Weiguo looked at the remaining three wolves and was actually satisfied.

The only drawback is the lack of hunting dogs.

Honestly, if I had a few hunting dogs at this moment...

He insisted on taking Dazhuang with him to catch up.

No matter how fast a wolf runs, it can't escape the nose of a hunting dog.

As long as we chase them to their den.

The two remembered the location and brought a few more people with them.

Smoke and fire can not only kill all the wolves inside, but also get the pelts of a few wolf cubs.

If the fur is of good quality, the price is not cheaper than some mink furs!

The cold wind howled.

The lynx was too lazy to eat the adult wolf's meat.

She looked back at Lu Weiguo every few steps before gradually disappearing into the forest!

"Shh~~"

Seeing this, Lu Weiguo whistled, trying to keep the lynx.

But this thing is too wild; it can't be tamed by just meeting it once and killing wolves together.

But Lu Weiguo wasn't in a hurry; lynxes have a very strong sense of territory.

Now that we know this is the lynx's territory.

Come more often in the future, and if conditions improve, bring a few chicks for the lynx.

If this were truly tamed by the lynx, it would become a hunting companion in the mountains.

After that, I can really roam freely in the mountains.

"Good heavens, three wolves! Two of them can be skinned to make 'top grade' pelts. Plus the reward for hunting wolves, each one can sell for at least a hundred dollars!"

With those three heads combined, you're bound to make a fortune, Da Zhuang!

Dazhuang heard the auspicious number 250.

He grinned and chuckled foolishly.

Wolf meat is not tasty; it's sour and tough, and the hide isn't worth much either.

However, in recent years, wolves have become rampant and are always coming down from the mountains to harm poultry.

Both the commune and the county offered certain rewards for hunting wolves.

In larger cities, the carcass of a wolf can earn a reward of two or three hundred yuan.

In mountainous areas like Fendou Village, the rewards are only between fifty and eighty yuan.

It's just like receiving goods; there's exploitation at every level, and by the time it reaches the people, they're basically only left with scraps.

"Let's go down the mountain!"

This time, Lu Weiguo was no longer arrogant. Seeing that it was getting dark, he dared not linger there and carried the wolf's carcass back to the village with Dazhuang.

The wolves were handed over to the supply and marketing cooperative, and their pelts didn't even need to be skinned.

Thinking that I would gain something every time I went up the mountain, my mood was lighter than the north wind.

. . . . .

It had already gotten dark.

The faint candlelight in Fendou Village is like a guiding light leading home.

Inside the Lu family's mud-brick house, two children were playing under the dim light of a kerosene lamp.

The door opened, and steam rose from the kitchen, where shadowy figures overlapped, filling the air with the warmth of human connection.

"Crunch~ Crunch~~"

The sound of footsteps on snow could be heard outside. Li Xiulian, with her keen ears, put on her coat and ran into the yard.

"Wei Guo, Da Zhuang, you're back?"

Outside the courtyard, two steadfast figures entered, and the moment the gate closed, there were three loud bangs.

Inside the courtyard, snow and mist swirled, and the air was thick with the stench of money!

"What's this? Whose dog did you kill?!"

Through the snow mist, Li Xiulian looked at the gray-brown wolf carcass and stared blankly at Lu Weiguo and the other man.

These days, wolves don't eat well either; they only weigh about 20 or 30 pounds each and don't grow very big.

It really does look just like the wolfhounds in the village.

"Xiulian! This isn't a dog, this...this is a wolf!!!"

Upon hearing the sound, a voluptuous figure rushed out of the house.

First, he winked at Lu Weiguo, then hid behind Li Xiulian.

"Wolves! Weiguo, you went to fight the wolves! You... let me check if you're hurt!"

Seeing Lu Weiguo nod in confirmation, Li Xiulian, who had just been engrossed in chatting with her sisters, panicked instantly.

Avoiding the wolf's carcass, they circled around to Lu Weiguo's front.

They frantically checked Lu Weiguo's entire body, even scrutinizing his crotch.

He simply tore off the red string that served the same purpose as his waistband, and took a look inside.

Seeing that Lu Weiguo had no injuries, they breathed a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, Li Xiulian had no joy at seeing the wolves or being able to exchange them for money.

Instead, with a gloomy face, he slapped Lu Weiguo hard across the chest.

"You! You're being too outrageous! How dare you provoke such a beast!"

"What if something happens to you? What if you get bitten by a wolf? What will the three of us do then?!"

One punch, two punches, three punches...

The little fists kept patting Lu Weiguo's chest.

She saw that Lu Weiguo had been looking at her with that doting smile for a long time.

Li Xiulian threw herself into Lu Weiguo's arms, her voice trembling with tears, and said, "It's all Mom's fault, why did she have to get you a hunting rifle?"

Look at you, you dare to fight a wild wolf! That's too dangerous, Lu Weiguo! You're not allowed to do that again!

"I won't let you go up the mountain anymore! We'll go home tomorrow and return the hunting rifle!!"

Li Xiulian was truly terrified at this moment.

At first, Lu Weiguo went up the mountain to catch rabbits.

This is normal for rural people; sometimes, when children go to play at the foot of the mountain, they might even find rabbits that have frozen to death.

Later I heard that they caught a fire-breathing fox from the mountain.

There were also two sables, but Li Xiulian wasn't nervous at all, even after she learned that Lu Weiguo had killed a wild boar.

Li Xiulian felt safe going up the mountain.

but!

This time, they brought back a three-headed wolf!

That's a wolf!

It has been a synonym for evil and ruthlessness since ancient times.

She was, after all, a city girl, and the story she heard most often growing up was the boy who cried wolf.

If they disobey, it's like the legend of the white-haired wind, wild wolves snatching children and tearing out their internal organs.

Therefore, in Li Xiulian's mind, wolves are one of the most dangerous animals in the mountains.

Lu Weiguo, you only go up the mountain to catch some meat to supplement the family income; that's what a mature man does.

Li Xiulian was overjoyed.

But Li Xiulian was unwilling to risk such a dangerous fight with wolves!

In her heart, Lu Weiguo being alive and well is more important than anything else!

"Oh dear, look how scared you are! This thing is nothing, not even as troublesome as a wild boar. This young couple is just putting on a show for me."

Stop being so mushy!

Seeing this, Zhao Yangyang spoke in a sarcastic tone from behind.

Li Xiulian didn't care at all, and still snorted: "I'm willing! Anyway, the Wei Kingdom can't go up the mountain anymore."

Yang Yang, please talk to Zhang Dexing for me. My son Weiguo, my son Weiguo, will work diligently in the brigade from now on.
