Rebirth 1979: Hunting wild boars and saving educated youth

When the python saw someone invading its territory and shooting it, it opened its huge mouth in anger and pounced towards Chen Feng.

Chen Feng was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He dodged the attack by leaning sideways and at the same time seized the opportunity to shoot the python in the head with his hunting rifle.

The python felt pain and twisted its body, almost rolling Chen Feng in.

Chen Feng did not dare to delay. He retreated while shooting and started a fierce fight with the python.

The python had thick skin and flesh, so a few shots did not kill it, but made it even more violent.

Chen Feng suddenly had an idea. He took advantage of the terrain and jumped onto a large rock nearby. From his high vantage point, he aimed at the python's seven-inch position and pulled the trigger.

This shot directly hit the python's vital point. The python howled and collapsed to the ground.

After confirming that the python was dead, Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief, walked forward carefully, used a dagger to cut open the python's abdomen, and took out the precious snake gall.

He carefully kept the snake gallbladder and then dragged the python's body back home with great effort.

After returning home, Chen Feng threw the python in the yard, simply treated its wound, and hurried to the town to find Director Sun.

Director Sun was delighted to see Chen Feng and quickly asked, "Chen Feng, did you find it? So fast!"

Chen Feng nodded, took out the snake gall from his arms and handed it to Director Sun.

Director Sun took the snake gallbladder, looked at it carefully, and was overjoyed. He thanked him repeatedly: "Chen Feng, you are really great! This time is all thanks to you!"

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Director Sun, what you said is true. You have always been helping me, and I haven't been polite to you."

Director Sun laughed heartily and said, "Okay, then I won't be polite with you."

Chen Feng chuckled and prepared to say goodbye, thinking to himself that this mission was finally completed successfully.

Unexpectedly, Director Sun said, "Don't leave in a hurry. Come with me to deliver the snake gall later."

Chen Feng didn't think much about it. He thought he might need to know more about the snake in a while, so he agreed readily: "Okay, I'll go with you."

Director Sun turned and went to the medicine cabinet and began to pack the herbs. He put a bulging package on his back and carefully placed the snake gallbladder in it.

After everything was ready, the two went out together.

The car sped along and was about to reach the destination. Chen Feng felt the solemnity of the place. He saw the sign with red letters on a white background and realized that they had arrived at the Municipal Party Committee compound.

Director Sun leaned over and whispered, "This is the family quarters. Just use your eyes and don't speak unless you're asking."

Chen Feng nodded and responded, "Silence is golden, I understand."

The car slowly stopped in front of a two-story building, and Director Sun went forward and knocked on the door.

The door opened quickly, and a middle-aged woman appeared at the door. She looked like the family's nanny and led the two into the house.

As soon as Chen Feng entered the door, he was stunned.

Sitting on the sofa in the room was an old man, a respected man he had seen on TV news before. The old man looked energetic, holding a newspaper in his hand and looking at them with a smile.

Chen Feng was secretly surprised, but he remained calm and followed Director Sun to greet the old man.

Director Sun greeted the old man and asked softly, "How are you feeling today?"

The old man smiled generously and waved his hand, saying, "I'm in good health and have no illness."

Director Sun quickly responded, "Yes, they are just minor ailments, but they must be treated seriously, old leader. I've found snake gall for you. It was Xiao Chen who went up the mountain to find it for you. I rushed over as soon as I got it."

Chen Feng sat on a small stool beside him, silently taking the tea handed to him by the nanny.

It was a ceramic pot with large tea leaves soaked in it. One sip of it was very thirst-quenching.

He watched quietly as Director Sun got busy and personally made medicine for the old man.

Director Sun first took the herbs out of the package and placed them on the table. Then he took the precious snake gallbladder, carefully cut it open, and dripped the bile into the medicine jar. He then wrapped the remaining snake body in ice and gave it to the nanny, who kept it in the refrigerator.

The heat was controlled just right. Director Sun stirred the medicine from time to time while boiling it, and the aroma of the medicine gradually spread.

Finally, the medicine was ready. He picked it up himself and handed it to the old man carefully.

The old man took the medicine bowl, smiled at Director Sun and Chen Feng, and said, "Thank you for bothering me and making such a special trip."

Director Sun quickly said, "As you should, old leader. Your good health is our greatest wish."

After drinking the medicine, the old man's face actually became a little rosier. He looked at Chen Feng with a smile and asked, "I heard about Teresa Teng's case recently. It's been all over the newspapers. What do you think about it?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng immediately responded with a smile, "I was just being a little clever and wasn't steady enough at the time. Looking back, it was indeed a bit risky."

Hearing this, the old man laughed heartily: "Development is bound to involve risk. Crossing the river by feeling the stones—that's risky! Back when we were engaged in revolution, we put our heads on the line. Don't you think it was risky? But now, some comrades have forgotten that and are starting to play it safe. That won't help us achieve our goals!"

Having said that, the old man became even more interested and insisted on keeping Chen Feng and Director Sun for dinner.

Seeing this, the two men hurriedly declined, but the old man waved his hand and said with a smile: "Xiao Chen, you took a big risk to get me that rare snake gall. It would be unreasonable for me not to treat you to a meal."

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Feng and Director Sun exchanged glances, knowing that it would be difficult to refuse.

The nanny immediately got busy, and soon a sumptuous meal was placed on the table.

Chen Feng glanced at the dishes on the table and his heart skipped a beat.

Seeing the table full of greasy dishes, he secretly worried whether the old man's body could bear it.

He thought about it and couldn't help but persuade him: "Old leader, isn't your food a bit too greasy? It's not good for your health."

When these words were spoken, Director Sun was shocked and quickly winked at Chen Feng, signaling him not to say anything more.

He knew in his heart that the old man had a very bad temper. Sometimes he would not even listen to the health care doctor and might get angry if you said a few more words.

However, the old man was not angry. Instead, he looked at Chen Feng with a smile and said, "Young man, you really care about my diet. But don't worry, my body was able to withstand the enemy's bullets back then. Can't I withstand this little bit of meat now?"

Having said that, the old man picked up another piece of braised pork and started eating it in big mouthfuls, looking like he was enjoying it very much.

Seeing this, Chen Feng could only smile and jokingly said, "Being able to withstand bullets only makes you half a hero. In my opinion, being able to withstand both bullets and flesh is what makes you a true hero."
