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

Chapter 78 You're so ruthless? You're even more vicious!

"Only six?"

Seeing that the smoke had mostly dissipated, Huang Guangzu bent over to check.

Presbyopia is common among older people.

The old man counted for a long time before confirming that the number was correct.

"Hey Weiguo, where did you learn your hunting skills? They're not very good. Old Li used to be able to catch at least ten or so!"

Huang Guangzu was too embarrassed to say how many he wanted upfront, so he just kept picking out the fattest badgers.

It had just snowed, which was the time when the badgers were at their fattest.

The smallest badger weighs 15 or 16 pounds, and the largest can weigh more than 20 pounds!

"So he died young, and you didn't even live to see the end!"

Lu Weiguo rolled his eyes at the village chief and said quietly, "Village chief, give me all the skins, and I'll give you four pieces of meat, okay? I'll also give you a bowl of the badger oil I rendered out, is that alright?"

"Badger pelts aren't worth much. What do you need so many for? Give me three badger pelts, and I'll make a vest."

Huang Guangzu tightened his cotton coat, as if he were very cold.

Lu Weiguo had already noticed the fur peeking out from under his cotton-padded coat.

This isn't an ordinary cotton-padded coat; it's clearly a cotton-padded coat with a rabbit lining inside.

That's how leaders are at this point; they're embarrassed to disconnect from the masses.

They only dared to wear mink, rabbit fur, and other furs as linings inside their clothes.

"Alright, village chief, whatever you say, but I have one condition."

"Huh? You still dare to have conditions?"

Huang Guangzu's face was so wide with laughter that it became a thin line.

"I'll tell you when I get back."

After some haggling, both of them felt they had gotten a good deal.

A wooden stick can be used to hit someone on the head; there's no need to peel off the skin, or even use a gun.

Soon, the six unconscious badgers were put into the sack behind Liu Dazhuang.

Just as the three of them were looking at the sun and were about to turn back...

Lu Weiguo suddenly felt as if something was spying on them!

He turned around abruptly!

Behind a large tree not far away, a bearded man peeked out, peeking at them.

The moment Lu Weiguo discovered him, the man tried to pull his head back!

It was evident that Lu Weiguo raised the hunting rifle on his back in less than three seconds.

The man exhaled a breath of stale air and emerged from behind the tree, raising his hand.

"Brother! Which village are you from?"

Upon seeing the man, Lu Weiguo quickly scanned the area and, finding him alone, raised his gun and stood in front of Liu Dazhuang and the village chief.

It's not that Lu Weiguo is cowardly.

In this day and age, this is how you should act if you encounter a stranger in the mountains.

There is no ban on guns or hunting.

Wild animals still roam the mountains and fields.

In the hearts of those who hunt for food in the mountains, a human life is not as valuable as a wild boar.

"Mountain dogs chasing the mountain."

The man behind the tree had a beard almost longer than his face. He spoke with a strange Northeastern accent, and his eyes showed no fear, only a hint of scrutiny.

"Mountain Dog? Which village were they originally from?"

Mountain dogs are people who rely solely on the mountains for their livelihood; they eat and live in the mountains.

Some don't even come down the mountain for three to five years.

All the daily necessities they needed were traded with people who came to the mountains.

"Struggle... no, I'm from Sanhe Village."

The man was very good at reading people's expressions. As soon as he said the word "struggle," the old man's expression changed.

They quickly changed their address to Sanhe Village, which is next to Fendou Village.

Do you know Old Zhang, the hunter from Sanhe Village?

Lu Weiguo continued to ask questions without putting down his gun.

"I know him! He's the one who's been trading supplies with me for years. I didn't mean anything by it; I just wanted to trade hides for some salt!"

"You know them? Don't be ridiculous, are you from the KGB?"

Lu Weiguo was absolutely certain, since there was no hunter with the surname Zhang in Sanhe Village.

The KGB, the Russian secret service that every Northeasterner knows.

In those days, people in Northeast China were either wary of or hated.

One type is naturally those who once lived a life of burning, killing, looting, and committing all sorts of evil deeds on this land.

Even in the 1980s, many villages would use loudspeakers to warn the descendants of those who hadn't moved away.

The other type is the Russians.

Despite what we've seen in later generations, the Russians and our country are actually very close.

However, in the 1940s and 50s, the evil deeds committed by the Russians in Northeast China were no less than those committed by ordinary people.

The phrase "Beware of the KGB" has even been turned into a children's rhyme.

KGB? I'm not afraid. One bullet and three will fall.

Yellow rice, dipped in cold water, is something I eat all the time!

This clearly demonstrates the hatred that people in Northeast China harbored towards the Russians during that era.

However, Lu Weiguo just had a sudden inspiration and said it offhand.

But the man opposite him instantly changed his expression!

"Holy crap! This is going to be a huge success!!!"

Huang Guangzu opened his wrinkled eyelids for the first time!

"No... this luck is just too good." Lu Weiguo's expression was also a bit strange.

In later generations, capturing a spy could earn a reward of 500,000.

While the monetary rewards weren't as high in this era, there were still plenty of hidden rewards.

However, what he valued most was the honor of the country, which was something Lu Weiguo longed for.

"I...I'm not like that, you've misunderstood, I'm just scared..."

"Whether it's true or not doesn't matter, don't move! Stand still!"

At this point, Lu Weiguo was no longer willing to listen to his explanation.

"I won't move! Don't shoot!" The man's expression returned to normal as Lu Weiguo gradually approached.

He spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear: "You're the one who killed people with lynxes, aren't you?"

Um? ! ! !

Lu Weiguo, who was still excited, instantly stood still.

"Using lynxes to kill people? I don't understand?"

"That's exactly what the words meant." The man lowered his hand as if he had won, and continued with a smile, "I used to be a sent-down youth, so I understand the people in power better than a country bumpkin like you."

I thought that if I defected there I would be freer, but the people there didn't like me because I was Asian.

So, we're the same kind of people. I have no other intentions than to help each other. I remember here, when people kill, they just eat peanuts, right?

You wouldn't want others to know you killed someone, would you?

"Oh? Threatening me?"

Lu Weiguo made a decision instantly after considering the matter in his mind.

"Lu Weiguo, what are you dawdling for! Don't waste your breath on him. If he arrests the wrong person, I'll take the blame. If he's right, we'll have at least twenty more bags of fertilizer next year!!"

When Huang Guangzu saw Lu Weiguo chatting with him, he couldn't help but call out.

Although he was anxious, he didn't move an inch!

After all, he had attended meetings and studied it; it was the KGB, the most ruthless spies in the world.

"Village chief! I feel he's a good..."

Lu Weiguo pretended to turn around and explain.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that the man had relaxed his guard.

"Bang!!"

The double-barreled shotgun struck the man in the chest at close range!

"What the hell are you doing, Lu Weiguo?!"

Lu Weiguo exclaimed as if he had been startled, and immediately sat down on the ground.

Then, he reached into the snow and touched the Hualongzao trouser leg.

She handed it to the man's hand.
