Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.

Zhang Quhun stared at the sack in shock, unable to believe that he had caught the field mouse so easily.

Although he saw the field mouse run into the sack and heard it squeaking, he still found it hard to believe.

He had tried catching field mice with others before, but he often failed to catch one out of ten attempts. Now, he caught a field mouse right away with Chang Kun.

He stood there, stunned.

Chang Kun found Zhang Quhun's expression hilarious.

In his past life, it was Zhang Quhun who taught him how to catch field mice, trap rabbits, and catch fish and shrimp.

Jin Sanjia had been making sarcastic remarks from the sidelines, waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

He and Chang Kun used to be like-minded, and the two of them would walk cats and play with dogs in the village.

Later, when Chang Kun went to work in the city, he voluntarily became Chang Kun's subordinate, flattering and fawning over Chang Kun and freeloading off him.

After that, Chang Kun was expelled. He could no longer eat and drink with them, so he had to pay back all the humiliation he had suffered from being subservient to them.

The fact that Chang Kun was expelled was something he secretly orchestrated.

Today I saw Chang Kun with the village's simpleton, Er Shazi, trying to smoke out field mice, which made him very happy.

Has Chang Kun gone mad too? Leading the village's second simpleton to do things that only a three-year-old would do?

Until he heard Zhang Quhun, the big idiot, scream in surprise when he saw the ground rat.

"What? A groundhog?"

"How is that possible! Surely Zhang Ershazi doesn't even recognize a ground mouse?"

He rushed to Zhang Quhun's side and looked down to see field mice scurrying up and down in the sack.

Kim San-ga felt just like the five field mice in the sack—completely bewildered.

Hearing the commotion, Chang Kun rushed over in a few steps and patted Zhang Quhun on the shoulder:

"The crickets are dried well, why don't you hurry up and dig up some rat droppings? Jin Sanjia is waiting to eat them, hahaha."

Jin Sanjia was stunned for a moment, then jumped up and started cursing:

"You're the one who eats shit, your whole family..."

Before he could finish cursing...

"Bang!"

Chang Kun kicked him in the stomach, sending Jin Sanjia crashing into the ridge of the field.

"Keep your mouth shut!" Chang Kun didn't even glance at him.

Jin Sanjia has a bullying and cowardly personality, and such a person would have been the best candidate for a puppet army traitor in the past.

At this moment, he was in excruciating pain in his lower abdomen from being kicked by Chang Kun, but he didn't dare to utter a sound. He got up and limped away.

After walking more than a hundred meters, he turned around, glaring at Chang Kun and Zhang Quhun with gritted teeth, uttering harsh words.

"Just you wait, I'll kill you!"

Zhang Quhun excitedly picked up the field mice one by one and stomped them to death. He squatted on the ground and watched, still finding it hard to believe.

Chang Kun briefly recalled the route the field mouse took when it escaped and walked to the farthest point of the two burrows.

"Cricket, dig down here."

Field mice usually store their food at the end of their burrows.

He handed the hoe to Zhang Quhun.

Although he himself wasn't very good at farm work, Zhang Quhun was quite skilled at it, easily digging the ground with a hoe.

As Zhang Quhun dug down, it only took him five or six minutes before he shouted:

"Brother Kun, Brother Kun!"

……

Meanwhile, at Chang Kun's home.

Liu Meifen hummed a little tune as she skinned a wild rabbit in the yard.

It's hot in the summer now, so if you don't peel the meat quickly, it will spoil easily.

The rabbit looked quite plump. We skinned it, removed its internal organs, and then examined it.

Each one weighs only a little over two pounds, and if you remove the bones, there's even less left.

The old saying goes, "Eating rabbit won't make you fat," which simply means that rabbit meat is low in fat and not easy to gain weight from.

But these days, it's good enough to have meat to eat, so why would anyone be picky?

Liu Meifen touched the belly meat of the skinned rabbit and smiled as she muttered to herself:

"You know what, the rabbits are quite plump at this time of year. We'll save the innards for dinner to make these little guys drool."

The two rabbits were quickly cleaned up.

Liu Meifen threw a clean, naked rabbit into a large water vat and kept it chilled in the water, which would keep the meat fresh for at least a few days.

She then took a large piece of salt, about the size of a fist, from the stove, gently tapped it with the back of a knife, and crushed each small piece with the knife before carefully rubbing it onto the rabbit meat.

This is the coarse salt of that era; it didn't require ration coupons and could be bought freely.

People can't live without salt. As for fine salt, it's available, but you need ration coupons for it, and it's quite expensive.

The remaining rabbit meat was finely rubbed with salt and hung in a cool, shady place in the main room to dry, so that it would slowly turn into cured meat.

These days, eating a few bites of cured meat is considered celebrating the New Year.

Liu Meifen looked up at the rabbit meat, becoming happier the more she looked.

……

At the foot of Beishan Mountain, the entrance to the field mouse burrow has been dug open.

Chang Kun and Zhang Quhun bent over and peered over the field mouse hole.

The bright yellow soybeans and golden corn lay in the cave, attracting their attention.

The field mouse's food storage has been dug up!

Zhang Quhun knelt on the ground, his hands trembling as he picked up a handful of soybeans and held them under his nose to inhale deeply.

This is grain!

These days, food is more precious than gold in people's hearts!

How long has it been since you ate pure grains?

Zhang Quhun himself couldn't quite remember...

Zhang Quhun carefully placed the soybeans and corn onto the sack, but he was still not satisfied.

He wielded the hoe and dug up the field mouse's food storage area thoroughly, picking up every single grain of food.

He squatted in front of the sack, looking at the soybeans and corn with an extremely devout expression.

"Brother Kun, these soybeans and corn must weigh five or six pounds together!"

"There are still a lot of field mice in this area; let's raid a few more nests today!"

Chang Kun remained calm. With the system around, catching a field mouse or digging up a granary was a piece of cake.

"Yes!" Zhang Quhun answered loudly.

The group walked another two hundred meters forward, and Chang Kun spotted another nest of field mice. He sensed a lot of life inside, indicating it was a large family.

"Cricket! Get ready to light it."

Chang Kun searched carefully and found that this nest of field mice had a total of 9 entrances, which was simply incredible!

Chang Kun led Zhang Quhun to block the entrances to the field mice's burrows one by one with large stones, leaving only two entrances open: one for smoke and the other for the field mice to crawl out.

"Brother Kun, Brother Kun, let me go catch field mice instead."

"Okay, you come here. Open the sack and cover the hole."

Chang Kun was in charge of lighting a fire to smoke out the field mice, while Zhang Quhun was in charge of preparing to catch the field mice at another cave entrance.

As the fire was lit, the smoke slowly entered the field mouse burrow. The burrow was quite large, and the smoke did not immediately drive the field mice out.

Chang Kun frowned, turned around and found some semi-dry grass to cover the burning firewood, and thick smoke immediately billowed from the field mouse burrow.

Sensing something, a large swarm of field mice rushed towards the other entrance of their burrow. "Cricket, watch out, the field mice are charging!"

Zhang Quhun nervously pursed his lips and stared wide-eyed at the cave entrance.

In the blink of an eye, field mice escaped from their burrows and rushed into the sack.

"Holy crap, holy crap! How come there are so many!"

"Brother Kun, there are so many in this litter!"

Zhang Quhun's voice cracked from shouting.

Upon hearing Zhang Quhun's scream, Chang Kun was about to run towards him.

Suddenly, a field mouse the size of a wildcat rushed out of its burrow, carrying a burning firewood on its head.

Holy crap!

"Holy shit! Holy shit!"

It's so big!

Have the field mice become spirits?!
