Reborn as a capitalist's young master in the 1970s, he starts his life by being blocked at the

Zhao Erhu looked at the two men with surprise: "Captain Zhao, you two know each other?"

Team Leader Zhao waved his hand: "I met the young man once when I was investigating that wildfire."

"Please come in, everyone."

Chen Jianming invited the group into the house, quickly took the hot water from the stove, brewed a pot of black tea, and poured a cup for each person.

After Professor Lin sat down, he looked around the room and nodded repeatedly: "The environment here is quite nice, quiet and elegant, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world. Young man Chen, I'll have to trouble you with the archaeological work at Xuri Ridge!"

"What is Sunrise Ridge?"

Zhao Erhu sipped his black tea and explained, "Professor Lin and his brothers are planning an archaeological expedition to Xuri Ridge and need a guide. I thought you'd been on the mountain for so long and be familiar with the area, so I brought them here to find you."

"I see!"

Chen Jianming nodded without saying anything more.

Since Zhao Erhu made this arrangement, there must be a reason for it.

Sure enough, while everyone was talking, Zhao Erhu pulled him outside: "After I went back last time, I wrote a report and asked for instructions from the higher-ups. You should have received news by now, since you saved people. I don't know why there has been no news for so long."

"This archaeological expedition is a national mission, and you were the first person I thought of. Do your best, and I'll try to get approval from higher-ups for you again. A few more times will definitely be helpful."

"Thank you, Brother Tiger. I will do my best to not let you down."

Chen Jianming thanked him repeatedly, feeling very grateful.

Since his parents passed away, few people have truly cared about him.

Zhao Erhu could have easily ignored his affairs, but now he's taking the initiative to think of him.

Zhao Erhu patted him on the shoulder: "You just need to make sure your own safety and the safety of Professor Lin and the others, and that nothing goes wrong. After all, this is in the mountains, and there could be any dangers. Be extra careful."

"I see."

Back inside, Captain Zhao had already gotten up and was about to say goodbye and leave.

Chen Jianming stepped forward to persuade them to stay: "Captain Zhao, Brother Erhu, you've come all this way, please stay for a meal."

Zhao Erhu put a lot of effort into his affairs.

Team Leader Zhao said, "We have other matters to attend to at the institute, so we won't have dinner. I'll leave Professor Lin in your care."

"Don't worry, with me here, I won't let anything happen to them."

This matter concerns whether he can return to the city smoothly, so he will not take it lightly and will try his best.

Moreover, Professor Lin seems like a nice person, with a kind face, and his students, two men and two women, are all quite amiable.

One of the female students was tall and slender, with a youthful spirit between her brows, yet she was also gentle, and her appearance was no less than that of Shen Cui and Yang Yu.

"I'm relieved to hear that!"

Team Leader Zhao nodded, then shifted his gaze: "Professor Lin, I have other matters to attend to at the institute and can't get away, so I won't keep you company any longer. These seven are security personnel specially dispatched from the provincial capital to accompany you into the mountains and ensure your safety."

Professor Lin stood up and thanked him, "Thank you so much, Captain Zhao!"

Chen Jianming was surprised. He had thought the seven men were also security guards, but he hadn't expected them to be bodyguards specially sent down from the provincial capital to protect Professor Lin.

This shows how much the provincial capital values ​​Professor Lin.

After watching Captain Zhao and Zhao Erhu leave, only Professor Lin, four students, and seven guards remained in the wooden house.

Professor Lin waved his hand dismissively: "Let's not delay any longer, let's set off while it's still early!"

"Let's have a meal first before we go. We've come all this way, so let's try some wild game from Heiyu Mountain."

Chen Jianming took out two pre-smoked bear paws.

He could tell that Professor Lin held a high position, otherwise the provincial capital wouldn't have attached so much importance to him.

In order to get back to the city as soon as possible, he decided to make a good impression.

This is also why Zhao Erhu arranged for him to go along!

If it's just to protect a few people, seven guards are enough.

Wow, what a huge bear paw!

The slender female student exclaimed in surprise.

A male student in a Zhongshan suit asked, "Judging from the thickness of the bear paws, this should be an adult grizzly bear, and it must be quite large. Brother Chen, did you hit this?"

Chen Jianming nodded.

"sharp!"

The male student gave a thumbs up.

"I didn't expect Brother Chen to have such abilities. No wonder Officer Zhao kept recommending you to me. With you here, it seems we're much more confident about this Xuri Ridge archaeological excavation."

Professor Lin glanced at the bear paw and looked somewhat embarrassed.

"I originally intended to depart immediately, but since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony!"

He came here to relax; otherwise, how could a rumor about a ruin have made him personally come?

"Professor Lin, you're too kind. This bear paw I made is delicious."

After saying that, he picked up the two bear paws and went into the kitchen.

"I'll help you."

The slender female student had a cheerful and lively personality and followed them into the kitchen.

These two bear paws were not enough for everyone to share, so Chen Jianming took advantage of the female student's inattention and pulled out a large piece of bear meat.

The two were busy in the kitchen, and soon the aroma of meat filled the wooden house.

"It smells so good!"

The students inside were drawn in by the aroma of meat.

"Try it, how does it taste?"

They brought out the bear meat and gave everyone a large piece.

Professor Lin adjusted his glasses, slowly took a bite, and his eyes lit up. He praised repeatedly, "Young Master Chen, you have excellent skills! You are truly multi-talented. Not only can you hunt, but you can also cook very well. Any girl who marries you will be very lucky."

"Professor Lin, you flatter me. The environment is simple, and there's not much to offer in terms of hospitality. We can only use what's available."

Chen Jianming thought of Shen Cui and Yang Yu. They had indeed enjoyed a lot of good fortune, but it wasn't the same thing Professor Lin had mentioned.

"Delicious! Delicious!"

The two female students nodded repeatedly, completely disregarding their image while eating.

While he was busy in the kitchen, Chen Jianming also learned the name of the slender female student: Yu Qingqing.

Everyone, including the seven guards, was very satisfied with his cooking skills and ate with gusto.

"I didn't expect there would be a share for us? Thank you!" a middle-aged, burly guard said with a smile.

Even a seasoned scholar like Professor Lin couldn't resist eating a few more pieces.

"We've had our meal, it's time for us to get going." Professor Lin let out a burp.

Before leaving, Chen Jianming prepared some food and took out several hunting rifles from his spatial storage.

He doesn't need to worry about so much when he's alone, since he can take things from his spatial storage at any time.

With so many people around, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to enter the space; he couldn't very well go empty-handed, could he?

Xuri Ridge is located in the southeast direction of Heiyu Mountain, which is quite far from the cabin, about 50 li away.

In addition, the mountain road was rugged, so everyone walked slowly.

Along the way, Yu Qingqing blinked her big eyes and kept glancing at the man who was looking at her, asking, "Brother Chen, how old are you this year?"

"nineteen."

"So young?"

Yu Qingqing covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes filled with admiration.

She was still in school when she was nineteen, while her partner not only guarded the mountain alone, but also hunted large wild beasts like bears.

She didn't even dare to think about these things.

Yu Qingqing pressed further, "Aren't you afraid to be alone in the mountains?"

"Of course I was scared at first, but I gradually got used to it. There are advantages to living in the mountains; at least it's quite peaceful."

"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young."

Professor Lin laughed and said, "Scholars are useless. We who bury ourselves in books are far inferior to you."
