The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

Yang Dalin left the mountains and was almost at the campsite.

Yang Dalin spotted his colleagues standing guard from a distance.

There was a small earthen mound next to the campsite.

Two colleagues stood guard on the earthen slope.

It seems that Captain Jing has learned from the previous lesson this time.

People were stationed at the high points surrounding the campsite.

These two colleagues had not yet discovered Yang Dalin.

Yang Dalin made a commotion from a distance.

Since it's already dark, don't approach rashly and risk being misunderstood by your colleagues.

They can see themselves clearly, but they can't see themselves in the darkness.

As soon as Yang Dalin made a noise, the other party heard it, shone a flashlight on him, and realized that Yang Dalin had returned from hunting.

A colleague called out and quickly came forward to greet Yang Dalin.

The other colleague could only remain on guard.

Hearing his colleague's call, someone quickly came over.

They came to pick up Yang Dalin.

Several flashlights were shining randomly.

Upon seeing that Yang Dalin was carrying so much meat...

A goat doesn't yield much meat after slaughter; it's barely enough for these colleagues to have one meal.

But what about adding a wild boar weighing over 200 pounds?

This makes a lot more meat.

Eating more meat means eating less grain.

For now, everyone will no longer have to worry about saving food and going hungry.

The chubby boy was the fastest runner among them.

He ran to Yang Dalin's side, took the mutton from Yang Dalin, and said, "Boss, you're amazing! What kind of meat is this?"

Why didn't I hear any gunshots?

Yang Dalin handed him the rope with the mutton tied to it, and said, "This is wild mutton. You've never eaten it before, have you?"

I waited at a spot where the animals were drinking water and then ambushed them directly with a knife, so there were no gunshots.

"Shooting them with a gun would scare all the prey away."

"Boss is really amazing. Can you teach me sometime?"

I'd like to go hunting with you too.

"Little Fatty, you should wait until you have a full stomach before going into the mountains with your boss. Otherwise, you'll get hungry soon after you go in, which will slow down your boss too much."

One of the guys who came over to help joked with the chubby boy.

The chubby boy knew he wasn't fast, but he wasn't discouraged at all and replied, "My boss will definitely protect me. Once we're in the mountains, he can hunt some wild rabbits and pheasants for me to fill my stomach, and then I'll be fine."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The chubby boy successfully made everyone laugh.

Everyone carried the meat to the campfire at the encampment.

The water in the big pot has boiled, and we're just waiting for Yang Dalin to bring the meat to cook.

If you don't have cooking oil, the best way is to stew or boil.

You can eat the meat and soup together.

Soaking dry rations in meat broth makes it delicious.

To prevent the flavors from mixing.

Yang Dalin then asked his colleagues to set up a small pot.

This pot is used to stew half of the mutton.

In another large pot, some wild boar meat was stewed.

To allow the remaining wild boar and mutton to sit for a longer time.

Yang Dalin even made sure his colleagues cooked them all.

Although the temperature in the mountains isn't that high in early summer, you still need to be careful.

Yang Dalin also knew about the weather in Qinzhou. In later generations, summers there were very comfortable, with the hottest temperature never exceeding 36 degrees Celsius. Summers there were so pleasant.

There's heating in winter, so it's not cold indoors; the climate is actually quite nice.

I don't know how things are going right now.

Yang Dalin then took out a large handful of wild vegetables from his satchel.

They said it was dug up by a stream along the way.

To prevent everyone from eating only meat, which would be too greasy.

You can eat some wild vegetables to supplement your vitamins.

The delicious game meat was ready, and Yang Dalin even made sure to give the filial little fat boy extra meat.

At noon, the chubby boy would rather go hungry himself than not give Yang Dalin a yellow steamed bun, so Yang Dalin naturally had to treat his little brother better.

Everything was brought by Yang Dalin.

If he gives more to someone, who would dare to object?

Although the wild boar meat didn't taste that good, Yang Dalin brought a lot of seasonings.

The stewed meat was still very fragrant.

Everyone enjoyed the meal.

Even Yang Dalin ate three large bowls.

Team Leader Jing, Team Leader Wang, and Team Leader Xiao were also very satisfied with Yang Dalin's performance.

With this kid around, I've really saved myself a lot of trouble.

Otherwise, with dozens of people in the convoy, there would be concerns about them going hungry later on.

That night, Captain Jing arranged for others to take night shifts so that Yang Dalin and the drivers could get a good rest.

Yang Dalin slept for several hours during the day and wasn't very sleepy.

He volunteered to stay with the meeting for the first half of the night.

I'll go to sleep in the second half of the night.

Seeing that he was in good spirits, Captain Jing said, "It's up to you. You can rest whenever you're tired."

You don't need to worry about the nighttime surveillance duties.

Yang Dalin nodded in agreement.

I chatted with the chubby boy around the fire for a while at first, and then sent him off to rest around nine o'clock.

After a while, Yang Dalin got up and looked around.

This time, he wasn't too worried about spies appearing in the mountains. He was worried that most of the animals he saw this evening were herbivores, and that carnivores might come and launch a sneak attack at night.

That's why Yang Dalin took the initiative to offer to help guard the community.

It was almost midnight, and Yang Dalin was getting sleepy.

He planned to do one last check of the outer outposts before going to rest.

When he reached the high point of the small hill next to the campsite, Yang Dalin suddenly felt a murderous aura.

Yang Dalin quickly lay down and looked over there.

艹。

Three leopards were spotted.

They were crawling in a fan shape, approaching this side.

Yang Dalin knew there were snow leopards on the plateau, but he really didn't know there were leopards here.

Yang Dalin didn't have time to greet Team Leader Jing.

He quickly told the other two colleagues on guard duty to lie down.

One of his colleagues leaned over Yang Dalin and asked, "What's wrong, Dalin?"

All Yang Dalin could see at this moment was, "There's something approaching over there, but I can't see what it is."

Yang Dalin immediately loaded the SKS.

The three leopards probably also realized that Yang Dalin and his group knew they were planning a sneak attack.

He hid directly in the grass, lying prone and stopping his advance, which made Yang Dalin's visibility poor.

Yang Dalin could only fire a shot based on his breathing and his sense of touch.

"bump……"

A gunshot rang out in the quiet night.

Soon Yang Dalin saw the other two leopards run away in fright.

There was one that didn't move; it was probably hit by Yang Dalin.

Yang Dalin fired two more shots haphazardly in the direction the leopard had run.

The piercing gunshots woke up my colleagues at the campsite.

No one bothered to put on clothes; they grabbed their guns and rushed out.

Fortunately, it wasn't the dead of winter; it was early summer, and although the night was a bit chilly, everyone could bear it.

Even after everyone ran out, they didn't panic. Each person took their assigned spot and stood guard over the car.

Several team leaders also ran out of the tent.

Captain Jing, holding a flashlight, shouted, "What's wrong?"

Yang Dalin responded: "Captain Jing, there are wild animals approaching from the west."

I fired a shot; it should have scared them away.

Captain Jing and his men walked up the hillside with flashlights: "The rest of you, keep on guard. Da Linzi, one more person is coming with me to check."

Two of the three men were holding flashlights, shining them to the left, right, and front, while Yang Dalin stood in the middle with a gun.

That way, if Yang Dalin discovers anything, he can just shoot.

After walking a few dozen meters to the west, we saw a leopard lying in the grass.

A single shot hit the opponent squarely in the forehead.
