Reborn in the 1980s: Nine Stunning Beauties Get Pregnant Before Marriage

Chen Yongqiang wasn't annoyed by her push; instead, he chuckled softly, "Just kidding, you took it seriously."

Liang Meie turned her back to straighten her clothes: "How can you joke like that?"

Chen Yongqiang reached out and pulled her back, this time with much gentler force.

Liang Meie struggled a little, then stopped moving and let him hold her.

He had placed the miner's lamp at his feet at some point, and its light slanted across the ground, casting a hazy glow around the two of them.

Liang Meie snuggled closer to him, and Chen Yongqiang's hand slowly roamed down her back, feeling the warmth of her body even through her coarse clothes.

His hand hovered over the hem of his shirt, tentatively trying to unbutton it, but Liang Meie did not push him away.

"Don't take it off... it's cold when the wind blows in." Liang Meie pressed his hand down, her voice barely audible.

Chen Yongqiang stopped what he was told, his palm still resting on her waist.

She buried her face in his shoulder, her warm breath seeping into his chest through her cotton-padded coat.

The bamboo grove rustled in the night breeze, occasionally punctuated by the squeaking sound of bamboo joints rubbing together.

Chen Yongqiang's hand began to move upwards, his fingertips slipping under the hem of his clothes. Liang Meie instinctively pressed down on his wrist, but without applying any force.

"Just tease her a little!" he whispered in her ear.

Liang Meie didn't respond, but simply released her hand. Chen Yongqiang's hand slid inside her clothes, his palm resting against her warm waist.

Her skin broke out in tiny goosebumps in the cold night.

A few barks came from afar, and Liang Meie instinctively tried to push him away.

Chen Yongqiang tightened his arms around her; her waist was soft and warm, like the only source of warmth in the night.

"Someone's here..." Liang Meie shifted her body uneasily.

"It's the dog from the village entrance," Chen Yongqiang reassured in a low voice.

Liang Meie gradually relaxed and snuggled back into his arms.

The bamboo basket had been overturned at some point, and several freshly dug winter bamboo shoots rolled onto the withered leaves.

After an hour of passionate lovemaking in the bamboo grove, Liang Meie, while tidying her clothes, muttered a complaint, "You've gotten my clothes all dirty!"

Just then, a rustling sound came from deep within the bamboo forest.

Chen Yongqiang raised his hand to signal her to be quiet, and listened carefully.

In the darkness, several dark figures moved along the bamboo thicket, and the sounds grew closer.

"Don't make a sound." He lowered his voice, quickly fastened his belt, and picked up the musket leaning against the rock.

Under the moonlight, the silhouettes of four or five wild boars could be vaguely seen. The lead boar was enormous, and they were rooting around in the soil with their snouts, searching for winter bamboo shoots.

Chen Yongqiang raised his musket, knowing full well that hunting wild boar alone was very dangerous and required a fatal shot to a vital spot.

At that moment, a rather large wild boar stood on a rock and raised its head.

As an excellent hunter, Chen Yongqiang keenly seized the opportunity. His musket fired a loud bang, and the pellet struck a wild boar in the head, killing it instantly.

Startled by the stray bullet, another wild boar, its eyes red, charged toward where they were hiding.

"Yongqiang..." Liang Meie cried out in alarm.

Chen Yongqiang didn't have time to reload the gunpowder; he simply drew his hunting knife from his waist.

The wild boar came charging menacingly, its tusks aimed straight at his face.

He dodged to the side, and the wild boar whizzed past his trouser leg.

Chen Yongqiang felt a sharp pain in his leg and knew he was injured, but he didn't have time to check it at that moment.

Just as the wild boar turned around to charge again, Chen Yongqiang seized the opportunity, darted forward, and plunged his hunting knife into the boar's neck.

Warm blood splattered on his face, and the wild boar, in pain and madness, frantically shook its massive head.

Chen Yongqiang's arms bulged with veins as he used all his strength to stab the knife deeper.

But the wounded wild boar burst forth with astonishing strength. With a sudden struggle, it broke free of its grip, carrying the hunting knife stuck in its neck, and staggered into the depths of the bamboo forest, leaving only a trail of blood behind.

Liang Meie mustered her courage and ran over. In the moonlight, she saw Chen Yongqiang covered in blood, and her voice trembled with tears: "Yongqiang...this...this is all blood! Are you alright? Don't scare me!"

Chen Yongqiang unscrewed his military water bottle and took a sip of spiritual spring water: "It's nothing serious, it's probably just wild boar blood."

He looked down at his leg. "That beast bumped into me, and I just got a minor cut."

Liang Meie quickly squatted down and saw that his trouser leg was torn and covered in blood.

Chen Yongqiang took another sip of the spiritual spring water, and a warm current quickly spread from his stomach.

The tingling sensation in my legs was replaced by a slight tingling and itching, as if new flesh was growing and healing rapidly.

The cold sweat on his forehead slowly dried; it had really been that dangerous.

Liang Meie felt a little relieved, but still reached out to support his arm: "Are you really alright?"

Chen Yongqiang supported himself on his knees as he stood up, moved his injured leg, and said, "I'm really fine!"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly received a system notification.

[System notification: Three adult wild boars have been eliminated, completing the forest protection mission!]

[Mission Rewards: 50 Fortune Points, Special Item, 1 Type 56 Semi-Automatic Rifle, 10 Rounds of Ammunition!]

Upon seeing the system notification, Chen Yongqiang was extremely excited, but since Liang Meie was still on site, it was inconvenient for him to take out the gun he had just been awarded to check it.

Chen Yongqiang walked over and kicked the wild boar's huge head. The beast died quickly.

It's even stronger than the one we shot a few days ago, weighing at least 150 pounds.

He turned to Liang Meie and said, "Go back first. I promised to send you the ham hock tomorrow morning."

Liang Meie looked at the large wild boar on the ground: "How can you move such a heavy thing by yourself?"

Chen Yongqiang pointed to the path outside the bamboo forest and urged her, "No need, you should go back quickly. If this gunshot rings out, someone might come over."

Liang Meie then picked up her bamboo basket and hoe and hurriedly walked out of the bamboo forest, her figure quickly disappearing at the end of the path.

Chen Yongqiang shone his headlamp on the intermittent bloodstains on the ground; the dark red marks stretched deep into the bamboo forest.

"That beast can't have gone far," he muttered to himself.

Since we received the system notification, it means that the wild boar that was stabbed by the hunting knife has indeed died.

Chen Yongqiang took out the semi-automatic rifle he had just obtained from the system, pulled the bolt, and said, "Good gun. If I had this gun, I wouldn't have been injured."

He carried two guns and followed the trail of blood deeper into the bamboo forest.

After walking for about half an hour, a dark figure lay motionless on the ground in a clearing in the bamboo forest ahead.

Under the glow of the miner's lamp, the wild boar lay on its side in a pool of blood, the hunting knife still deeply embedded in its neck, only the hilt protruding.

Chen Yongqiang cautiously approached and kicked the wild boar's hind leg to confirm that it was dead. This one was smaller, but still weighed about 100 pounds: "We need to get these two wild boars back quickly."
