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

Cheng Xin ran ahead, leading the way, and kept turning back to shout to the villagers, "Hurry up! It's just ahead!"

He was followed by more than twenty people, some from his own village and others from neighboring villages who had come to watch the spectacle.

The man in the Zhongshan suit walked at the front, taking large, quick strides, his face expressionless.

Cheng Xin couldn't hold back his words and started talking as he ran.

"Captain, you have no idea how good my sister and brother-in-law are to me! Yesterday they took me to town and bought me new clothes, all brand new from head to toe!"

He tugged at his blue school uniform, beaming with pride, "Look at this! The material is really good; my sister said it cost a lot of money!"

People nearby gathered around to look, marveling at the sight.

"This material is really good; it feels so smooth to the touch."

"How much?"

Cheng Xin scratched his head: "I didn't dare ask, anyway, it's not cheap. My sister said it doesn't matter how much it costs, as long as it looks good."

Someone laughed and teased, "Cheng Xin, you've hit the jackpot!"

Cheng Xin chuckled, his eyes narrowing with laughter: "And there's more! My brother-in-law took us to eat wonton noodles, and they were so delicious! The soup was incredibly flavorful, I even ate two bowls!"

He gestured, "And there's rice noodle rolls, so slippery, you can slurp them up in one bite! I've never seen anything like it before!"

Those nearby were swallowing hard.

"And another thing, my brother-in-law is a policeman, working at the Beijing Railway Public Security Bureau. He's really impressive!"

Cheng Xin got more and more excited as he spoke, "My older brother is even more impressive. He's the head of the local police station in our hometown, in charge of dozens of people, and he even has a gun!"

"A gun?" Someone's eyes lit up. "A real gun?"

"Of course! My brother-in-law said he has both long guns and short guns, so I can play with them to my heart's content!"

"Don't brag, kid."

"I'm not bragging! My brother-in-law said it himself!" Cheng Xin said, tilting his head back with a smug look on his face.

After walking for a while, he remembered something, turned back and shouted into the crowd, "Oh right, my sister and brother-in-law also brought back some food, rice and cornmeal, over a hundred catties! They said they're going to share it with our neighbors in the village to thank them for taking care of my mother all these years!"

A commotion broke out in the crowd.

"Over 100 pounds?"

"Really?"

"Is Xiulan, that woman, really that generous?"

Cheng Xin nodded firmly: "Really! My brother-in-law, mother, and I carried it back together. There were several bags, neatly stacked!"

The man in the Zhongshan suit paused, turned around, and glanced back at him.

Cheng Xin was still gesturing: "And there's more! My brother-in-law just took us up the mountain, and we hunted pheasants and rabbits, and caught a lot of bamboo rats! We're saving them all for the villagers to eat!"

Someone couldn't help but ask, "How much?"

Cheng Xin counted on his fingers: "Three pheasants, four rabbits, bamboo rats... six bamboo rats! And dozens of wild eggs!"

An uproar erupted in the crowd.

"So many?"

"Who is Xiulan's son-in-law? How come he's such a good hunter?"

"I've lived in these mountains for decades, and I've never seen anyone catch so many things!"

Cheng Xin beamed with pride, chin held high: "My brother-in-law is amazing! He can just duck into the bushes, stretch out his hand, and catch a pheasant! He can smoke out a rabbit from its burrow, and catch it every time!"

He got more and more excited as he talked, gesturing wildly.

This kid rarely has something to show off in front of the villagers, and he finally got his chance before leaving.

"And those bamboo rats! My brother-in-law went into the bamboo forest by himself and came out with six in no time! I was stunned!"

Those around them were stunned.

Someone muttered quietly, "This kid... he's talking like it's the truth."

"It doesn't seem fake to me. Surely his new clothes aren't fake?"

"Too……"

Cheng Xin heard this, turned around and grinned at the man: "Why would I lie to you? When we get to Lanni Bay, you'll see for yourselves! Everything's in my mother's house!"

He turned around and continued running forward. After a few steps, he turned back and shouted again.

"Hurry, hurry! My brother-in-law just dug up some water up ahead! The water's crystal clear, you'll see!"

When the group arrived at Lanni Bay, they saw several people standing on the shore, looking down into the water.

Cheng Xin ran ahead, shouting as he ran, "Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! I've brought people!"

The man in the Zhongshan suit rushed over, looked down, and froze.

At the bottom of the muddy bay, water is gushing out of a newly dug pit.

There wasn't much water, just a thin stream, but it was definitely water, clear and sparkling in the sunlight.

He squatted down, stared at the water for a while, and then scooped up a handful.

It was cold; it really was water.

"There's water...there really is water..."

He murmured, his voice trembling.

The crowd surged forward from behind, crowding the shore to look down, and immediately erupted into chaos.

"There really is water!"

"Water is coming out of Muddy Bay!"

"My God!"

Some people jumped in, squatted by the pit, reached out to scoop up the water, and brought it to their mouths.

Several more people jumped in, gathered around the pit, and shouted all at once.

"That's great, we don't have to fight over that little bit of water in the ditch anymore!"

"Our village is saved!"

On the other side, Cheng Xin was surrounded by a group of teenagers.

"Cheng Xin, is this your brother-in-law?"

"Did he really dig that hole?"

How did he know there was water here?

Surrounded by others, Cheng Xin was so smug that his eyebrows practically flew off his face.

"Of course! My brother-in-law is amazing! He can tell there's water down there just by standing here!"

He grabbed the bamboo basket next to him and lifted the straw covering it: "Look! This is what my brother-in-law harvested this morning!"

Several heads crowded around at the same time.

"Wow--!"

"So many pheasants!"

"And rabbits!"

"What's this? A bamboo rat?!"

Cheng Xin reached inside, pulled out a bamboo rat, and held it high: "Of course it's a bamboo rat! It's so delicious! My mother said she roasted one for me before, and I even chewed the bones up!"

The boys stared wide-eyed, reaching out to touch it, but afraid of being bitten.

Cheng Xin put the bamboo rats back, then took out a few wild eggs from the basket and gave one to each person.

"Here you go! Your mother will cook it for you later!"

The boys held the wild eggs as if they were precious treasures.

The adults nearby also gathered around to look, marveling at the full basket of prey.

"Xiulan's son-in-law is truly a capable man!"

"How much time has it taken to kill so many things!"

"We've lived in these mountains for decades, and we've never seen anyone hunt like this!"

Suddenly someone remembered something and leaned over to look down into the pit.

"Hey, didn't they say there were fish down there?"

Cheng Xin heard this and ran over shouting, "Yes! My brother-in-law said there are fish down there, weighing over a hundred pounds!"

"Fish? Really?"

"There can be fish underground?"

The man in the Zhongshan suit squatted by the pit, staring at the water, and murmured, "Where there's water, there are fish...where there are fish, there's water..."

He stood up, turned around, and looked at Sun Xiulan.

Sun Xiulan stood on the shore, her daughter holding her arm. She had a smile on her face, but her eyes were a little red.

The man in the Zhongshan suit walked over, stood in front of her, and suddenly bowed.

"Sister-in-law Xiulan, thank you!"
