While Lü Jiawei was helping Qin Meiru sit down at the braised food stall, Chang Kun had already taken Cheng Min and Xiao Xiuer into the mountains.

Cheng Min and Xiu'er, a young woman and a young girl respectively, were both very interested in the plants and trees in the mountains.

Upon seeing a small thorny jujube tree, the two stopped and remained motionless.

"Sister Xiaomin, look at those jujubes, they're so big!"

"There's an even redder one over there, quickly pick it!"

This wild jujube tree is different from the tall jujube tree in my yard. It grows short, is covered with small thorns, and its fruit is only the size of a little fingernail.

These small sour jujubes taste quite good, with a sweet and sour flavor.

Chang Kun remembers that when he was a child, he would often pick sour jujubes to eat when he had a sweet tooth, and he would still enjoy it even if he was pricked by the thorns.

Xiuer was short, and her arms were like short radishes, so she couldn't reach the small sour jujubes on the thorny jujube tree at all.

She hopped around, directing Cheng Min to pick fruit.

"Sister Xiaomin, the very top, that whole bunch of them is all red!"

This little girl was tired of eating dates at home, so when she came to the mountains, everything looked new and exciting, and she wanted to try everything.

"Okay, okay! Sister Xiaomin will pick some for you!" With such a noisy little girl around, going hunting in the mountains felt more like a picnic.

"Ouch!" You have to be very careful when picking jujubes. If you're not careful, Cheng Min got pricked and a small bead of blood oozed from her finger.

"Let me see..." Chang Kun grabbed Cheng Min's hand, turned his back to Xiu'er, put the bleeding finger into his mouth, and gently sucked it a couple of times.

"Okay, be careful next time..."

Cheng Min blushed, glared at Chang Kun, and whispered, "This isn't concern for me; it's more like you're taking advantage of me!"

"Hehe... As a husband and wife, what's there to gain or lose...?"

"Big brother, Sister Xiaomin, hurry up and pick them!" Xiuer's eyes were only on the small wild jujubes, but she was also afraid of the sharp little thorns on them.

"Big brother will pick it for you!"

Cheng Min and Xiu'er each held a handful of small sour dates, following behind Chang Kun, eating them with beaming smiles.

"Big brother, this is delicious! You should try some!"

"Did you have fun going up the mountain with your older brother?"

"Yes, I'm so happy! Big brother is the best! It would be even better if you could catch another myna bird to keep the one at home company!"

Chang Kun shook his head, ignoring the little girl.

It's impossible to catch another myna. Since my rebirth, I've sensed all sorts of prey, but I've only seen a myna once.

Today we went up the mountain to catch squirrels, and also to play with my wife and Xiuer.

He led the two of them straight to the woods where they had seen the squirrels earlier.

Before even reaching the woods, from afar, I could sense two squirrels darting and leaping through the trees, seemingly engaged in a struggle with something.

Chang Kun focused his attention and sensed that a large snake, as thick as a bowl, was coiled on a pine tree, flicking its tongue as it crawled into a hole in the tree.

Inside the tree hollow, three newly awakened squirrel cubs huddled in a nest of dry grass, making soft humming sounds.

On the tree trunk, the normally timid squirrels now had bloodshot eyes and their tails burst open like fluffy flames. When they encountered the giant snake, they did not flee. Instead, they kicked their legs fiercely and shot straight for the snake's head like arrows.

Startled by the sudden attack, the giant snake abruptly raised its head. In the brief moment when the squirrel was desperately biting, it bent its body and coiled itself around one of the squirrels.

Given the squirrel's agility, the giant snake would have had no chance to catch it.

But to protect their young in the nest, the two squirrel parents disregarded everything else, abandoning their agility to fight the giant snake head-on.

What a fierce battle between snakes and rats!

Sensing the danger, Chang Kun grew anxious. The squirrel was his intended meal; how could he let the snake swallow his prey?

At this moment, both large squirrels were already wrapped around the snake's body, and the immense pressure of the coils made them squeak and squeak.

"Hurry up!"

Chang Kun didn't have time to explain and ran forward quickly with his long legs.

A little while later, the two squirrels were crushed to death and were about to fall into the snake's mouth.

Approaching the woods, about seven or eight hundred meters away, and seeing the giant snake's mouth getting close to the squirrel, he could no longer hold back.

He knelt on one knee, raised his rifle, and saw only blurry lines in his sights, filled with lush green trees.

However, even with layers of trees blocking the way, everything is no problem with the "One Hit Kill" skill.

*Smack!*

After the crisp gunshot, I sensed that the giant snake's head had suddenly exploded, splattering blood onto the tree trunk. Its thick, long body lost control and limply fell to the ground.

Two squirrels were entangled by the giant snake and fell to the ground. They frantically pawed at the ground with their little paws, but could not get up.

"Big brother, what are you doing?"

Xiuer jumped up and looked ahead, only to see dense forests. She didn't understand what her older brother was shooting at with his gun.

Cheng Min also looked at Chang Kun with a puzzled expression.

"Don't ask so many questions, let's go! Let's go take a look!"

They hurriedly led the two into the woods, but before they even reached the giant snake, the sharp-eyed Xiao Xiu'er cried out in alarm.

"Big brother! Snake! Snake..."

She held tightly to Chang Kun's clothes with one hand, and covered her eyes with her other small hand, peeking through a small gap with two fingers to look at the large snake on the ground.

Cheng Min's heart tightened; a snake as thick as a bowl was truly a rare sight.

Ever since her father was bitten by a snake, she has been afraid of snakes. Even though the snake on the ground had no head, she still didn't dare to go near it.

Was her husband shooting at this snake from outside the woods?

At a distance of seven or eight hundred meters, separated by dense forest, to be able to hit a snake in the head with a single shot is simply miraculous.

Even when my older brother came back from the army and I heard him bragging, I had never heard of such marksmanship in the military.

My man is amazing with a gun, whether in bed or hunting in the mountains!

Unbeknownst to her, Cheng Min had also been influenced by Chang Kun to become somewhat lewd.

Chang Kun, unaware of what his wife and Xiu'er were thinking, told them to stay where they were, and quickly stepped forward to move the giant snake's body aside.

At this moment, blood trickled from the corners of the mouths of the two squirrels entwined by the giant snake. They were barely breathing and were on the verge of death.

In the past, when I went into the mountains to hunt squirrels, I would always let those with babies live.

What a pity about those two squirrels...

Once the squirrel parents die, the remaining baby squirrels are unlikely to survive the autumn and winter.

However, the baby squirrels can be taken home and fed by Xiuer.

This little girl probably couldn't be happier than that.

He turned around and waved to Xiuer: "Xiuer, come here, I'll show you something fun."

"I'm not going there! That snake's head's gone, it looks disgusting!"

……

Just as Chang Kun was about to climb the tree to catch the squirrel cubs, Lü Jiawei pushed a bowl of braised pork in front of Qin Meiru.

"Eat it while it's hot, then we'll all go home!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Meiru couldn't help but tear up again, and her voice became choked with emotion.

"Actually...actually, I don't need a bride price."
