Rebirth 60: After the separation, he took his wife to eat delicious food

Hu Zi quickly agreed, "I'll be there on time tomorrow morning!"

Chen Yuan thought for a moment and said, "This matter cannot be made public."

"I know there are only you and Grandma Li in your family. When the time comes, find a reason so that Grandma Li won't worry."

Hu Zi understood what Chen Yuan meant and was also well aware of the danger here.

"Don't worry, Brother Yuan. I understand everything you said. I'll keep this matter to myself."

Chen Yuan patted Hu Zi's shoulder and said, "Take your time. Our lives will get better and better!"

The two brothers chatted about this and that, telling many interesting stories from their childhood, and the meal lasted until after eight o'clock.

Before leaving, Hu Zi insisted on leaving behind all the rations he brought.

"Brother Yuan, I'm poor now and don't have anything good. When life gets better in the future, I will definitely repay you!"

"Just take this ration!"

Chen Yuan was worried that Hu Zi would think too much if he didn't accept him, so he said, "Then I'll accept him this time. Be careful when you go back."

"Hey!"

……

The next day, Sun Weiwei got up early to make breakfast.

Yesterday, Chen Yuan told her that he would not go home for lunch when he went into the mountains with Hu Zi, and would bring some dry food to sustain himself on the mountain.

When Chen Yuan woke up, Sun Weiwei had already baked the pie.

"This pie is stuffed with pork and cabbage. You and Huzi can eat it when you go up the mountain. And here are the potato pancakes."

"Row!"

Chen Yuan had just finished breakfast when Hu Zi arrived.

As soon as Hu Zi entered the house, he was radiating excitement. "Brother Yuan, do you think my hatchet works?"

Chen Yuan glanced at Hu Zi's shiny hatchet and saw that he had put a lot of effort into it last night.

"Okay, take it with you, let's go now."

It hasn't snowed these two days, so the road up the mountain is much easier to walk on.

"There are few things in the front mountain, and most of the large wild animals are in the back mountain. Let's go directly to the back mountain and try our luck today."

Chen Yuan held a wooden spear in his hand and kept probing the ground.

Hu Zi followed Chen Yuan's example and found a wooden stick, which he then carved into a spear.

After walking for a while, Chen Yuan saw a familiar mark.

"I dug a trap over there. Let's go and take a look."

Follow the mark and walk forward. Not far away is the trap set by Chen Yuan.

There were many footprints of wild animals around the trap, and the hay covering it had fallen off.

Chen Yuan looked into the trap and saw hares and pheasants that had been frozen solid.

The rabbit head that was smashed last time was covered by a thin layer of snow, obviously it had not been touched.

He frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.

"This trap is small, and there are no traps, so it's hard to catch the big ones."

"When the water clears, we can dig a big one and make a steel clamp."

Hu Zi felt that the trap was well made and there must be no big wild animals passing by.

Before, Chen Yuan always wandered between the back mountain and the front mountain. As for the deepest part of the back mountain, he had never been there.

He went up the mountain alone for fear of encountering large wild animals such as bears, Siberian tigers, and leopards.

Today, I bring Hu Zi with me, so I can go deeper and explore the way.

Chen Yuan picked up the spear, picked up the pheasant and hare, put them into a snakeskin bag, and then set the trap again.

No matter how small a grasshopper is, it is still meat. I didn't expect this small trap to catch any large wild animals.

Hu Zi looked at Chen Yuan with admiration. He didn't expect that hunting could be done in this way.

"Hold on to your hatchet. The mountains aren't as safe as the outside world. Let's be alert."

As he spoke, Chen Yuan picked up his hunting rifle and walked forward with a vigilant look on his face.

After Chen Yuan said this, Hu Zi also became nervous.

The two of them walked slowly into the mountains, one on the left and one on the right.

No one had ever been to the deep mountains, and the snow was obviously much deeper than in the front mountains, making it difficult for the two to walk.

The sound of "squeaking" underfoot on the snow kept ringing in my ears.

This mountain is not high, but it stretches endlessly backwards.

The two of them were already feeling a little tired as soon as they entered the back mountain.

Chen Yuan kept observing the surrounding environment. He saw that the forest in front of him was getting denser and the snow was getting deeper, like a sea of ​​snow.

Suddenly, Hu Zi patted Chen Yuan excitedly and said, "Brother Yuan, do you see a hole there?"

Chen Yuan looked in the direction of Hu Zi's finger and saw a big rock not far away and a cave next to it.

"Come on, let's go over and take a look."

The two men carefully tested their feet with wooden spears and successfully reached the entrance of the cave.

Chen Yuan looked up and down at the entrance of the cave and found that the cave was formed naturally, not dug by humans.

He took strips of cloth and hay from the snakeskin bag, made a simple torch, and used a flint to light the torch against the wind.

The entrance of the cave is narrow and small. After walking two steps inside, there is a large space.

"This cave is great. The narrow entrance can block the wind. Let's go back and chop down two trees to make a bed. We can rest here and then continue walking into the mountains."

Chen Yuan looked at the cave with satisfaction, thinking about what to bring with him next time he went into the mountains.

Hu Zi nodded and agreed, "That's a good idea. Let's make the cave entrance more hidden."

The two of them admired the cave for a while, and then Chen Yuan took out the pancakes that Sun Weiwei had baked in the morning from his arms.

The pie was still warm in my arms.

He found a large rock, placed the cloth bag containing the pie on it, opened it, and called out, "Huzi, come and eat some pie. After we rest, let's walk around here and clean up the cave."

When Hu Zi smelled the aroma of the pie, his stomach started to growl. He took out a mixed flour steamed bun from his bag and shared it with Chen Yuan.

"My grandma made these mixed flour buns, and there's also some sorghum wine."

Chen Yuan's eyes lit up when he saw sorghum wine.

It was freezing outside, and any water he brought out would freeze to the bone. He didn't have a thermos, so he never brought water with him when he went up the mountain. When he was thirsty, he would just grab a handful of snow and eat it.

But sorghum wine is different. It won’t freeze even when it’s outdoors, and just a sip of it can warm you up.

"This sorghum wine is good! How much do you have left?"

Hu Zi scratched his head and said with a simple smile, "This was made by my grandma. There hasn't been much food in recent years, so she made very little. There's only half a bucket left."

Chen Yuan thought that this thing should also be available on the black market, so he would go back and get some and take it with him when he went up the mountain.

After eating and drinking, the two men took their tools and prepared to go out to chop down trees.

Hu Zi saw a white shadow swaying not far away.

"Brother Yuan, what do you think that is?"

Chen Yuan looked up and saw a silver-white bear standing upright, staring in their direction.

The bear suddenly stretched out its hand, as if to greet them.

Chen Yuan's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself, this is not good!

They encountered a bear-man!

"Huzi, that's a man-bear! Let's be careful, don't let him rob us!"

Chen Yuan picked up his hunting rifle, aimed at the bear man's head, and was ready at all times.

It would be fine if this big guy just left, but if he really pounced on me, I'm afraid I can't kill him with just one shot.

The bear man swayed his body.

It looks like there will be a fierce battle today.
