They traded bear bile for Li Lei's deer antlers.

Over the next few days, Chang Kun went into the mountains every day to capture black bears alive, and completed the task of capturing ten black bears in just three days.

It's been ten days since I left home. I've never been away from home for so long since my rebirth. It's time to go home.

Zou Shengrong was very reluctant to part with him. He had never seen a hunter as capable as Chang Kun before, who had managed to get the breeding base to catch ten black bears several months ahead of schedule.

Before parting, he took out his treasured possession—a glossy, purplish-black musk—and gave it to Chang Kun.

This is a wonderful thing. According to the Compendium of Materia Medica, it can clear the meridians, awaken the mind, and even induce labor. It has miraculous effects at critical moments.

The three Chen brothers gave Chang Kun three catties of Northeast forest frogs so that he could take them back and try them.

In that short time, they ate a lot of roe deer, pheasant, and venison with Chang Kun, and were quite impressed with Chang Kun's hunting skills.

Forest frogs are good for kidney health and beauty. Although they are not medicine, they are extremely nourishing. In autumn and winter, pairing them with red dates and longan is a perfect way to replenish the blood and energy of the whole family.

Zou Shengrong, the three Chen brothers, and Li Lei accompanied Chang Kun to the train station, watching him eagerly as he entered the platform before saying goodbye and leaving.

Finding a secluded spot, Chang Kun tossed his bags and belongings into his spatial storage. Before boarding the train, he checked the changes brought about by the system upgrade.

In the past few days, when hunting black bears, roe deer, and hazel grouse, the system has detected that the weight of the prey is below 880 jin (440 catties), and the range has reached 2250 meters.

When the sensing range reached 2000 meters, the system underwent another upgrade.

The system has a space capacity of 20*20*20 meters, which is larger than a basketball court, and it can now store living things.

This change greatly pleased Chang Kun.

There are dozens of injured dragons in the space right now. They were all wounded by Chang Kun's blows to their wings and were captured alive after falling to the ground.

The system's sensing capabilities have also undergone a major upgrade.

Once Chang Kun senses his prey, even if the prey escapes the sensing range, he can roughly determine the direction it fled in and thus pursue it.

In the future, if you encounter fast prey and it escapes, you can still track it down and bring it back based on its location.

Just like that fierce tiger in the mountains, if I want to find it again when I come to Northeast China, I just need to follow the direction and chase after it.

Once on the train, the conductor was still Gao Jin.

"Train conductor, these are game hunted in the mountains. Here are two for you to try." Chang Kun took out two flying dragons.

"Hey! It's a flying dragon. These things are rare these days; they're almost hunted to extinction by hunters in Northeast China."

Gao Jin chuckled twice, took the flying dragon, and said, "Don't let its small meat size fool you, it's incredibly delicious. Xiao Ren, arrange a sleeper berth for Chang Kun!"

……

In the office of Gulou Subdistrict Office when Chang Kun was taking the train back to Beijing.

"Yan Feng! Tell me, what exactly happened?" Director Wang glared angrily at Yan Feng, whom he had summoned, from beside the office desk.

"Second Aunt, what are you saying? I don't understand!" Yan Feng blinked, pretending to be completely unaware.

"Don't understand? Last time you asked me which house Chang Kun wanted, and now someone else has snatched it up. I've already checked, and the person who took the house is your aunt!"

Director Wang paced back and forth in his office, his footsteps making a deafening noise.

"Oh, Second Aunt, it's better for us family members to get the house than for outsiders to benefit from it, right?" Yan Feng said with a smile, his tone light and cheerful.

He made his aunt take away the house that Chang Kun had reserved, a small act of revenge that made him feel really good.

"I helped him find a place out of a favor, and you, of all people, are ruining it!"

Director Wang was frustrated. After thinking for a while, he felt that things had come to this point and he could only arrange other housing for Chang Kun.

He waved his hand dismissively. "Get lost. You'd better keep quiet for the next few days. You haven't even cleaned up your own mess yet, so don't go around causing trouble!"

Yan Feng was taken aback: "Second Aunt, what happened to my house? What's wrong?"

"You didn't know?" Director Wang asked in surprise. "Your father's grain coupons at the grain station were stolen. Didn't he tell you?"

Yan Feng didn't care. A few grain coupons were nothing to his father, the director of the grain station.

"Second Aunt, it's just a few grain coupons. My dad can make up for it from somewhere else. The grain station has no shortage of grain."

"A little bit of grain coupons?" Director Wang shook his head, utterly speechless at his nephew. "Fifty thousand jin of national grain coupons? Have your father go and get them!"

"What?!" Yan Feng jumped up like a mouse whose tail had been stepped on.

Fifty thousand jin of national grain coupons—what does that even mean!

Even if a family of five ate for a hundred or two hundred years, they still couldn't finish this much!

If these tickets were to end up on the black market, they could be exchanged for over a hundred Jeeps. Just imagine how outrageous that is!

If these grain coupons aren't found soon, his father's job as the grain station director is over.

He might even end up in jail!

Thinking of this, Yan Feng's face turned deathly pale, and his legs went weak.

……

Time flew by in the sleeper berth. After two meals and a nap, Chang Kun arrived in Beijing.

He really missed that familiar air.

It was still early, so Chang Kun didn't rush back to the research institute to report for duty. Instead, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative first.

Pushing open the door, before she could even say hello, Chang Qing saw her older brother first and screamed with delight.

"Big brother, big brother's back!"

She rushed to Chang Kun's side, disregarding the fact that she was already a grown woman, wrapped her arms around Chang Kun's neck, and hung her whole body on him.

These past few days, without her eldest brother at home, she and her two younger sisters have been missing him terribly. Every night, they run to sleep on the west kang (heated brick bed) of their eldest brother, hoping that he can come home soon.

Unexpectedly, it took a full ten days for my older brother to return home.

"You're so big now, and you're still relying on your older brother." At this moment, Liu Meifen came out from behind the counter, looking at her beloved son with joy in her eyes.

With my son away these past few days, the house feels less lively, like it's missing its pillar of support.

"Mother!" Chang Kun called out.

"Hey, is Xiao Kun tired? Go back and rest for a while?" Looking her son up and down and seeing that he was in good spirits, Liu Meifen felt relieved.

After chatting for a while, Chang Kun pulled out a burlap sack from behind him and took out two flying dragons.

"Sister Wang, this was brought back from Northeast China. Take it home and have a taste."

"Oh my, Xiao Kun is so kind, he even brought me something." Wang Cuiqin couldn't stop smiling. She looked at Feilong and asked in confusion, "Xiao Kun, is this a quail?"

At this moment, Director Song of the supply and marketing cooperative heard the noise, came out of his office, and greeted everyone with a cheerful smile.

"Chang Kun is back! Your mother has been talking about you every day."

"Hey, Director Song, here are these two for you, and also for Xiao Yao and Lao Liu, one for each of you." Chang Kun took Feilong (a type of dragon) out of the sack and laid them out on the ground one by one.

"Oh my, is this a flying dragon?" Director Song exclaimed in surprise after examining it for a few moments.

"Director Song has a good eye!"

"I remember a few years ago, a comrade from Northeast China gave me one of these. The taste..." Director Song said with a look of reminiscence.

At this moment, Wang Cuiqin picked up the Flying Dragon: "This thing is called Flying Dragon? That's quite a grand name..."

"Hey, Xiao Wang, how about I trade you two chickens for this dragon?" Director Song's eyes darted around as he rubbed his hands together and discussed it with Wang Cuiqin.

"You're kidding me. I'm not trading. This is definitely a good product. Don't try to take advantage of me."

"Hey, let's not convert it anymore. Xiao Kun made a lot of money in the Northeast, getting so many flying dragons."

"This thing is called a flying dragon, so we've finally got to eat dragon meat!" Wang Cuiqin happily fiddled with the flying dragon, thinking to herself that the family would be able to have some meat again today.

"You have to admit, Xiao Kun is amazing. This flying dragon used to be a tribute to the palace. We're really living the good life by following Xiao Kun..."
