The hunter's leisurely life begins with marrying a female educated youth.

Old Camphor Tree Square.

The members of the six production teams reunited.

Just before roll call, Zhang Yun finally arrived and stood in the last position of the fifth team.

As the work recorder for the fifth team, Han Xuemei had always stood at the back of the line. When she saw Zhang Yun coming over, she nodded secretly, a special meaning emerging in her eyes.

It was a look of anticipation, mixed with hope and sweetness. Ever since receiving Zhang Yun's promise, Han Xuemei had found her place in his heart and regarded Zhang Yun as her closest person.

"Good morning, Han Zhiqing."

Zhang Yun greeted everyone in a very open and friendly manner.

Upon hearing this, all the other members of the commune turned to look at Zhang Yun and Han Xuemei.

Han Xuemei blushed instantly, feeling somewhat at a loss. She really hadn't expected Zhang Yun to greet her, and the surrounding members were all focused on her, making her feel quite embarrassed.

But deep down, Han Xuemei was very happy, which meant that Zhang Yun cared about her.

The surrounding commune members looked at the two with unusual expressions, after all, these six production teams had been working together for so long, and everyone was very familiar with them.

Zhang Yun is usually a kind and honest person, so he would never take the initiative to greet people.

Just now, Zhang Yun, contrary to his usual behavior, actually took the initiative to greet them, and the expressions of the two of them were quite intriguing.

Some astute members have already realized that the two have a different story behind them.

At this moment, Captain Zhang Youwei raised his hand and began to speak.

"Comrades, I am very happy that everyone is here today."

"Let me first summarize yesterday's achievements. We successfully completed tasks such as weeding, turning over soil, cutting grass, and repairing irrigation ditches. I especially want to commend commune members Zhang Jiwu and Zhang Yun for catching wild rabbits."

"Today's work is mainly to pull weeds in the rice fields. It's June now, and the early rice can be harvested in July. We only have half a month to prepare for the busy farming season."

"In addition, today we will continue to have our members catch wild rabbits, mountain snakes, and field mice. The six team leaders will decide on the personnel arrangements."

"Oh, by the way, the brigade secretary has returned from the commune. The commune has issued a notice that wild boars have been spotted at Jiming Mountain near our Jiuwan Village, and crops in some villages have already been destroyed."

"The brigade secretary gave me an instruction: to send two members of the commune to patrol the nearby mountains with the militia captain. Any two members who are willing to go on the patrol can raise their hands now."

Zhang Youwei spoke loudly, then his eyes swept across the room.

"I go!"

Zhang Yun was the first to raise his hand and shout it out loud.

Zhang Yun had originally intended to go into the mountains to hunt wild animals, and now that he had a legitimate reason to do so, he was naturally going to raise his hand.

Moreover, Zhang Yun knew very well that Zhang Boshu, as the team leader, would definitely not let Zhang Yun go as the person in charge of catching the wild rabbits.

Therefore, Zhang Yun must seize this opportunity.

Upon hearing Zhang Yun's voice, Zhang Jiwu raised his hand without hesitation.

“I’ll go too,” Zhang Jiwu said readily.

None of the other male members raised their hands.

Wild boars are very dangerous in the mountains, especially when they roam in groups. If you run into one, you could lose your life.

Furthermore, when entering the mountains, one must constantly face attacks from venomous snakes and wild animals, as well as bites from small insects that cause redness, swelling, and itching of the skin.

With the weather so hot now, getting water is a big problem once we go into the mountains.

As rural people, all the members of Jiuwan Village have experience going into the mountains. They know very well that patrolling the mountains is not a good job, so of course they are not enthusiastic.

Seeing this, Zhang Youwei understood the concerns of the other members, so he naturally wouldn't force them.

Now that Zhang Yun and Zhang Jiwu had raised their hands, Zhang Youwei could consider his task complete.

"Alright, now the six team leaders will lead their respective members to arrange today's production tasks."

"Zhang Yun and Zhang Jiwu, come with me to the brigade's threshing ground. The militia captain is waiting for you there."

After arranging the matters, Zhang Youwei immediately made an announcement.

Just as Zhang Yun was about to leave, Han Xuemei took two steps forward, stood beside him, and softly said, "Be careful once you enter the mountains."

As soon as she finished speaking, Han Xuemei ran away with a blush on her face.

Zhang Yun felt Han Xuemei's concern and smiled brightly as she watched Han Xuemei run away.

This must be the kind of blissful feeling you get when you're in the throes of new love.

Before long, Zhang Yun and Zhang Jiwu followed the brigade leader Zhang Youwei to the brigade's courtyard, a courtyard house that served as the brigade's office.

Each of the powerful figures in the brigade, such as the brigade party branch secretary, brigade leader, and militia captain, had their own office, which was a separate room.

Zhang Li'an, the militia captain, was in his forties and had a strong, tall build. His imposing figure gave him an imposing presence, and the Type 56 rifle slung across his back added an even more intimidating aura.

During this period, the country had not yet banned guns, and ordinary people could buy guns from supply and marketing cooperatives. However, the Type 56 rifle, which originated from the army, was not available for purchase and was only issued to the militia.

When Zhang Yun saw Zhang Li'an, his eyes immediately locked onto the gun; he was extremely envious.

"If I ever had money, I'd definitely buy a gun and carry it with me. It would be really impressive," Zhang Yun vowed to himself.

Zhang Youwei led the group to the location and then said with a smile, "Captain Zhang, these two members of the commune are willing to go on patrol with you in the mountains. This is Zhang Yun, and this is Zhang Jiwu. They are both skilled hunters. Yesterday, the two of them worked together to catch more than twenty wild rabbits."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Li'an's eyes lit up. He had also heard that the second canteen had cooked two large pots of rabbit meat yesterday, and it turned out that this was the result of the two people in front of him.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Captain," Zhang Li'an replied with a smile.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Zhang Youwei returned to his office.

Zhang Li'an looked Zhang Yun and Zhang Jiwu up and down and said with a smile, "Going into the mountains is a bit dangerous, so we need to prepare in advance."

“I have two canteens and two bayonets here. Take them with you. I’ll call two militiamen later, and the five of us will go into the mountains together.”

As he spoke, Zhang Li'an took out a kettle and a bayonet that were placed behind his desk.

This canteen was made of aluminum and coated with a dark green paint film. Its shape resembled that of an XO bottle from later times. It was also the most popular canteen in the military and could hold two liters of water at a time.

A bayonet is like a long, thin dagger with a very sharp tip. If it were to pierce the body of a wild animal, the entire blade would go in.

Zhang Yun and Zhang Jiwu both accepted the water bottle and bayonet with smiles, and then left the field with Zhang Li'an.

The other two militia members were already waiting at the foot of Songshu Mountain. Zhang Li'an brought the two over and joined them.

"Once you cross Songshu Mountain, you'll reach the territory of Jiming Mountain."

“This Pine Tree Mountain can only be considered an ordinary mountain. There are wild animals in it, but most of them are small wild animals such as rabbits, pheasants, and venomous snakes.”

"But Jiming Mountain is very dangerous, and large wild animals live there. When we go in, you must obey my orders and not act on your own."

“Sun Wenjie and Yang Tieqiang, of course I trust you two. But Zhang Yun and Zhang Jiwu, this is your first time working with me, so I must make it clear to you that you will follow my orders in all operations. Do you understand?”

Militia captain Zhang Li'an emphasized this very seriously.

Zhang Yun understood Zhang Li'an's concerns and agreed with them.

Entering the mountains, visibility is limited, and if you are traveling alone, it is easy to lose your way, which is dangerous for everyone.

Only by coming together can we fight the danger together.

"clear."

Zhang Yun and Zhang Jiwu both had experience going into the mountains before, so they understood this principle and readily agreed.
