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

After a day of strolling around, the whole family was a bit tired.

In the evening, I randomly picked a small shop to eat something, and then went back to the guesthouse to rest.

The next day, before dawn, Chang Kun woke up.

He quietly got up without disturbing anyone, got dressed, went downstairs to find Old Chen, and rented two bicycles as usual.

Back in the room, Cheng Min and Sun Xiulan were already up and tidying up the things in the room, with more than 100 kilograms of grain neatly packed.

Cheng Xin rubbed his eyes, not fully awake yet.

"Let's go." Chang Kun grabbed the food, tied it to his bicycle, and called out, "Let's go while it's still cool."

The group left the guesthouse, and two bicycles loaded with their belongings headed towards the village.

As dawn broke, a thin mist enveloped the fields and roadsides, and the distant mountains were verdant, creating a beautiful landscape painting.

Sun Xiulan sat in the back seat of Cheng Min, looking at the familiar mountain scenery, feeling a mix of emotions.

This time, I'm going back to say goodbye.

Two hours later, we arrived at the village entrance.

Chang Kun stopped the car and looked at the surrounding mountains.

On the way, I was thinking that if there was any game in these mountains, I would try to hunt some today. If I couldn't eat it all, I could ask my mother-in-law to give some to the neighbors.

Now, sensing the presence of prey, I could indeed find quite a few animals roaming the mountains: wild rabbits, pheasants, and various birds of all sizes flying among the trees. Unfortunately, I didn't spot any large creatures.

He didn't say much, just unloaded the things first.

Pushing her bicycle to the dilapidated house, Sun Xiulan opened the door and put her things inside.

Cheng Min looked around and sensed something was wrong: "Mother, why is it so quiet?"

Sun Xiulan also noticed that the village was quiet and every household had their doors closed.

Just as I was wondering, a crack appeared in the door of Aunt Wang's house next door, revealing a face.

"Xiulan, why are you back?"

Upon seeing Sun Xiulan's new clothes, Aunt Wang paused for a moment, then glanced at the people behind her and said in a low voice, "Why did you come back? Both villages need water today, and everyone has gone to the back mountain."

Sun Xiulan's expression changed slightly: "Another competition? Didn't we say we'd do it another day?"

"Why postpone it?! The village next door couldn't wait any longer; they told us yesterday to have the competition again today." Aunt Wang sighed. "Your little Xin, you absolutely mustn't go this time..."

Sun Xiulan clenched her fists, while Cheng Xin stood behind her, head down, saying nothing.

Cheng Min thought her mother was still worried about the village, so she went over and took her mother's hand: "Mom, how about... we go take a look?"

Sun Xiulan shook her head: "I'm not going."

She looked towards the back mountain, not intending to join in the fun.

Having lived in the village for over a decade, I have developed a strong attachment to it.

But the matter of earning water was a major event in the village, and she came back today to say goodbye. She didn't want her son or son-in-law to get involved in that kind of fight.

Cheng Xin raised his head, as if to say something, but was glared at back by Sun Xiulan.

"Let's go inside and tidy up."

Most of the villagers had gone to the back mountain, so they could only wait for them to return before thanking each of them individually.

After putting his things away inside, Chang Kun stood up, glanced outside, and said, "Mother, I'm going for a walk in the mountains."

"Going into the mountains? What for?"

Chang Kun smiled and said, "When I entered the village just now, I heard pheasants calling from the mountain. I guessed there was some wild game. Since I'm back, I might as well pick up some things."

Sun Xiulan opened her mouth, wanting to say that everyone in the village knew there were wild pheasants in the mountains, but those things were very clever and not so easy to catch.

Seeing that the son-in-law was in high spirits, it was difficult to say anything that would spoil the mood.

Cheng Xin's eyes lit up, and he jumped up: "Brother-in-law, I'll lead the way. I know this mountain well. I know which path to take and which forest has good stuff!"

"No!" Sun Xiulan grabbed her son.

"Mom, what's wrong now?"

Sun Xiulan looked at her son, then at her son-in-law: "You two...you're not going to the back mountain, are you?"

Cheng Xin rolled his eyes: "Mom, I'm not stupid. I won't go to the back mountain to fight. I'll take my brother-in-law to the West Mountain for a walk. There are lots of pheasants and rabbits there."

Sun Xiulan still couldn't get it; she held onto her son tightly and wouldn't let go.

"Mom, why don't we go together? You can keep an eye on them, then you'll feel more at ease." Cheng Min also wanted to take a trip to the mountains where her mother had lived for more than ten years.

Sun Xiulan hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "That works."

Cheng Min smiled and winked at Chang Kun.

She knew very well how skilled her man was at hunting.

She was quite pleased to have been able to show off in front of her mother today.

Cheng Xin took the slingshot he had made, slung a bamboo basket over his shoulder, and the whole family went out and headed towards the western mountains.

The mountain road was difficult to walk on, full of potholes, and the wild grass was ankle-deep.

Sun Xiulan walked at the front, her steps steady and even more agile than Chang Kun's.

She's been walking this mountain for over a decade; she can walk it with her eyes closed.

Cheng Xin followed behind, glancing back at his brother-in-law every now and then, his eyes filled with excitement.

As they approached a small ravine, Chang Kun suddenly called out to his mother-in-law and brother-in-law.

Stop.

He bent down and touched forward.

Just as Sun Xiulan was about to speak, Cheng Min covered her mouth.

With his camouflage skills, Chang Kun was not afraid of being discovered by his prey. The moment he approached the ravine, he suddenly lunged forward.

A pheasant, its feathers mottled and its tail feathers trailing long, took flight from the grass.

The animals in these mountains are indeed clever; it almost escaped.

Chang Kun stretched out his hand and grabbed the pheasant's claw.

"We caught him!" Cheng Xin jumped up excitedly.

Sun Xiulan's eyes widened. How long had she been in the mountains, and she'd already caught a pheasant?!

If everyone in the village had this skill, who would bother farming?

Cheng Min smiled and took the pheasant, then gestured towards the bushes, saying, "Quickly check if there are any wild eggs inside!"

"My wife has become shrewd. How did you know there were wild eggs?" Chang Kun squatted down, rummaged through the grass for a while, and pulled out a nest of wild eggs, with more than a dozen inside.

Cheng Xin ran over, his eyes wide with amazement: "Wow! So many eggs! Brother-in-law, you're amazing!"

Chang Kun smiled and handed him the wild eggs.

It's just that it's inconvenient to take out a gun, otherwise I would definitely shoot a few big guys to show my brother-in-law what real power is.

After crossing a small hill and arriving at a thicket of bushes, Chang Kun pointed to a cave in the grass.

"There are wild rabbits in this hole."

Cheng Xin looked in that direction but saw nothing.

"Brother-in-law, how did you know?"

"Don't ask so many questions, hurry up and gather some firewood." In the mountains of Beijing, Cheng Min knew how to smoke rabbits, and she directed her younger brother's actions.

They lit dry grass to block the cave entrance, and smoke poured into the cave. Chang Kun and Cheng Xin guarded another cave entrance in the distance.

A moment later, a dark shadow flashed at the entrance of the cave, and a wild rabbit darted out.

Chang Kun had been waiting for this moment. He reached out and grabbed the rabbit's hind leg.

Before Cheng Xin could even clap and cheer, another one darted out. Chang Kun deliberately didn't catch it, letting his brother-in-law try his hand.

Cheng Xin pounced and pinned the rabbit to the ground. Even after being kicked twice, he held on tightly.

"I caught it! I caught a wild rabbit!"

He lay on the ground, his face beaming with smiles.
