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

Hearing Liu Meifen's call, Wang Cuiqin turned around and looked curiously at the envelope in Chang Kun's hand.

"Xiao Kun, what's making your mother so happy?"

"Sister Wang, it's nothing, just a job quota for a waitress at the state-run restaurant across the street," Chang Kun said casually.

"What?!" Wang Cuiqin's eyes widened. "That's not all? My God!"

She circled Chang Kun twice, clicking her tongue in amazement: "I've noticed that Xiao Kun is becoming more and more capable; he's managed to take care of the whole family perfectly."

"Your mother was just complaining the other day about how hard your aunt works farming and doesn't have enough to eat, but now things are better..."

Liu Meifen took the envelope and looked at it from left to right, her face full of joy: "Son, you did a great job."

"Alright, Mom, I'll go get it for Auntie now, so that nothing goes wrong."

"Hmm, that makes sense. So, you took the afternoon off?"

Chang Kun nodded: "Tomorrow is a holiday too, so it's a good time to rest."

"Huh? Didn't you say your company is busiest during National Day? How come you get a day off tomorrow?"

"My boss wants me to hunt some game again, saying it's to nourish the people in the unit."

Wang Cuiqin chimed in from the side: "Oh my, your leader is so kind, thinking so much about his employees. Unlike our Director Song, who always tries to hoard the good stuff for himself."

Liu Meifen glared at her: "Keep your voice down, or someone will hear you praising your boss behind his back."

"Hehe, now it's just the two of us in the supply and marketing cooperative, plus Xiao Kun, so who would hear us... Speaking of which, Xiao Kun got a watch as a reward last time, I wonder what he'll get as a reward this time." Wang Cuiqin's words were full of envy.

"Sister Wang, Mom, I'm leaving now." Chang Kun wanted to get to his aunt's house as soon as possible, finish his business quickly, and go home early.

"Go ahead, go ahead, see if you want to bring Xiaoshui over to stay for a couple of days while you're at it."

"good!"

I rode all the way to my uncle's village. When I arrived at my uncle's house, I found the door closed and no one in the yard.

Did they go to the fields? Even Xiao Shui isn't home.

Chang Kun looked around, wondering if anyone had asked his aunt where she had gone.

"Hey, are you Liu Meilin's nephew?" an old farmer called out to Chang Kun as he passed by.

"Grandpa, did my aunt go to the fields?"

"Oh dear! You don't know yet, your aunt Fan Erxiao lost the village's cow and is crying and wailing all over the mountain!"

"What?!" Chang Kun was startled. The cow in his uncle's village had always been looked after by his uncle. Now that it had gone to the city, his aunt was taking care of it. How could it have been lost all of a sudden? Had it been stolen?

"Grandpa, what's going on?" he asked anxiously, grabbing the old farmer's arm.

"Fan Erxiao was herding cattle on the mountain early this morning. I heard that he encountered a wolf or a tiger, which scared the cattle away. They still haven't been found, and it's probably hopeless."

Upon hearing this, Chang Kun became even more anxious and hurriedly asked, "Sir, where is my aunt now?"

"Where? Where else could it be? Keep looking for the cow on the mountain. Lots of villagers have gone. If we can't find the cow, who knows what the village will do for plowing and transporting goods!"

"Grandpa, please take me up the mountain. I'm not familiar with the mountains around your village, and I won't be able to find my aunt." Chang Kun patted his pocket and handed the old farmer a cigarette.

"Hey, this is a good cigarette. You're quite generous, young man!" The old farmer didn't stand on ceremony and lit the cigarette, taking a satisfying puff.

"Grandpa, please take me up the mountain quickly, maybe I can still find that cow."

"You've got quite the nerve, young man. So many people from the village have searched for the cow on the mountain and haven't found it, and you think you can?" The old farmer took a couple of puffs, frowned, and said, "This tobacco isn't any good either; it's not even as strong as a regular pipe."

"Come on, come on, have your cigarette, I'll take you up the mountain, okay?" Seeing Chang Kun's anxious face, the old farmer led the way, muttering to himself.

"If they can't find the cow, even selling it wouldn't be enough to compensate Fan Erxiao. Liu Meilin just started working in the city and doesn't have much money. Losing this cow would ruin the whole family. Sigh!"

"I heard that Xiao Liu's job in the city was found for him by his nephew. Now that he's lost the cow, he can only pay back the debt by selling his job."

"Oh my! You wouldn't happen to be his nephew, would you? Little Liu seems to only have one nephew and a bunch of nieces."

"No wonder, everyone in the village smokes pipes, they wouldn't want to smoke cigarettes, tsk tsk..."

Unexpectedly, the old farmer was quite the chatterbox, muttering to himself the whole way, completely oblivious to how anxious Chang Kun was behind him.

Along the way, sensing the surrounding prey, Chang Kun did not find anything unusual.

As for the old farmer's claim that the tiger might have scared the cow away, Chang Kun didn't believe it at all. Where could there be any tigers around the capital?

"Sir, there's no way there could be a tiger around here. No one has seen one in all this time."

The old farmer took a puff of his cigarette and chuckled, "You're still young, lad. A couple of years ago, back when I was 57, there were rumors in Changping and Miyun about some kind of Black and Blue Tiger." (True story)

Reminded by the old farmer, Chang Kun suddenly remembered that there were indeed rumors of tiger sightings in Miyun and Changping a couple of years ago. However, due to the long time that had passed since his rebirth, he had completely forgotten about it.

If it really is a black-and-blue tiger, that would be easy to handle, since neither black-and-blue tigers nor South China tigers have been listed as protected animals in the past 60 years.

In particular, the South China tiger, along with bears, leopards, and wolves, is considered a "pest" by the Ministry of Forestry, which calls for all-out efforts to hunt and kill them.

Siberian tigers were relatively lucky; hunting them was banned 50 years ago, and in 60, they were listed as protected animals along with golden monkeys and giant pandas.

If the black and blue tiger that scared the old ox away on the mountain was indeed the tiger, then it was a great gift delivered to his door. Chang Kun had always wanted to make a few jars of tiger bone wine to help his parents improve their health, but he was missing tiger bone as the main ingredient.

Moreover, tigers are valuable from head to toe, and for some people, tiger penis is even more important.

As for my aunt losing the village's old ox, it would be best if it could be found. If it can't be found, then we should compensate the village with another ox. Compared to the value of a tiger, what is an old ox?

Thinking of this, Chang Kun felt a surge of excitement.

In both his past and present lives, he had never imagined that he would be able to eat tiger meat.

Hmm~~ I have eaten Tang Monk's flesh before—it was a small red package containing spicy chips, dried fruit, and the like.

Following the old farmer into the mountain pass, he pointed to a distant mountain peak: "Fan Erxiao lost his cow on that mountain. Go there yourself. If there really is a tiger, I can't outrun you young people."

Chang Kun: ...

This old man is really afraid of death; he actually knows that it's okay if he can't outrun a tiger, as long as he can outrun his teammates.

As we drove up the mountain with the sensors on, we saw three or five people huddled together in the distance, shouting, "Big Yellow, Big Yellow..."

Upon reaching them, before Chang Kun could even speak, one of the burly men leading the group frowned: "You're not from our village, what are you doing here?"

Chang Kun explained that he was Liu Meilin's nephew and that he wanted to help when he heard that the cow was lost.

"What? You're Fan Er's nephew?"

"That's perfect! Now that Fan Er has disappeared, no one's going to compensate for the lost cow! You're her nephew, you have to take responsibility!"

Chang Kun laughed in anger. What kind of logic is this?!

Regardless of whether the cow was actually lost or not, even if it was, it's not his nephew's place to pay for it.

Poverty truly breeds wickedness!
