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

On the edge of Laoshiqiao Village lies a vast mountainous area. Although the mountains here have a lot of exposed rocks, they are entirely covered by forests.

Therefore, if someone is hiding in these mountains, it would be extremely difficult to catch them.

Zhang Li'an led militiamen Sun Wenjie and Yang Tieqiang in front, while Zhang Yun followed behind on a roe deer. Soon they arrived at a sweet potato field on a rocky hill.

Although the entire mountain is made of rock, there are still large areas of soil on the ground, which are quite suitable for growing sweet potatoes.

Sweet potato vines spreading throughout the mountainous area create a unique landscape.

At this moment, Zhang Li'an stopped and pointed to a corner of a sweet potato field in front of him.

“Zhang Yun, Ma Zhongguo shot the villagers right here, there’s still a pool of blood there.”

Sure enough, there were obvious signs that the sweet potato field had been dug up by someone, and the bloodstains on the sweet potato leaves had just congealed and were very conspicuous.

Sitting on the roe deer, Zhang Yun shouted to the two red jackals, "Go, smell them."

The two red jackals, having consumed speed points, were able to understand Zhang Yun's words.

So the red jackal went to that corner of the sweet potato field and sniffed around for a while.

"Zhang Yun, you are really amazing. You actually managed to tame the red jackal."

Seeing how obedient the two red jackals were to Zhang Yun, Zhang Li'an was filled with envy.

"If you had these two red jackals two days ago, we might have been able to shoot down that whole litter of wild boars."

Sun Wenjie emphasized this point.

"Yes, I haven't slept well for two days since I heard about that group of wild boars escaped."

Yang Tieqiang said with a sigh.

Zhang Yun didn't respond. "That group of wild boars has entered the Spirit Spring Space. You can forget about it."

"Red Jackal, lead the way into the mountains."

Once the red jackal had finished sniffing, Zhang Yun immediately gave the order.

The two red jackals howled and immediately took off running, heading towards the mountains not far away.

“Zhang Yun, this mountain is called Shifeng Mountain by the villagers of Laoshiqiao Village. You can see at the highest point there is a straight stone peak, which is what they call Shifeng.”

“I have already spoken with the captain of the Shiqiao Brigade. The trees in Shifeng Mountain are not very tall, but there are many caves inside, and the path is very difficult to walk on because of the various rocks blocking the way.”

“After shooting and injuring someone, Ma Zhongguo immediately fled into the mountains. According to the villagers, only two hours have passed, so Ma Zhongguo must still be in the mountains. It’s impossible for him to have climbed over the mountain peak.”

On the way, Zhang Li'an shared what he knew.

After listening, Zhang Yun confirmed Zhang Li'an's guess.

Although Shifeng Mountain isn't very high, it's still over two hundred meters tall, and climbing over it in one go would be extremely physically demanding. Besides, when Ma Zhongguo was fleeing, he had no food and had to steal some from the sweet potato field, which is how he unexpectedly encountered the villagers and opened fire.

Therefore, Zhang Yun could be certain that Ma Zhongguo had dug up a large pile of sweet potatoes and was now hiding in a cave in Shifeng Mountain.

"Captain Zhang, stop talking and save your energy. Just trust these two red jackals; they will definitely find Ma Zhongguo's hiding place."

Zhang Yun laughed.

In the sweltering heat of June, you'd break out in a sweat with every step you took, and it was especially stifling in the mountains.

Naturally, it's best to talk as little as possible to avoid dehydration and heatstroke.

Zhang Li'an, Sun Wenjie, and Yang Tieqiang were indeed sweltering in the heat, so they obediently shut up and followed behind the red jackal, walking slowly.

The two red jackals moved nimbly through the mountains, weaving between the trees and making their way up the mountain quite quickly.

Zhang Yun, leading the roe deer, followed behind and managed to keep up steadily without showing any signs of fatigue.

But gradually, Zhang Li'an and the other two couldn't keep up. They were panting and exhausted.

"Zhang Yun, I can't do it anymore, I really can't keep up."

Zhang Li'an was over forty years old after all, and walking in the mountains in such hot weather, on an uphill path, he really couldn't keep going any longer.

Sun Wenjie and Yang Tieqiang sat down on a rock, wiping their sweat, rubbing their knees, and complaining of being tired.

"Captain Zhang, you guys go find a shady place to rest. I'll go search for Ma Zhongguo."

Zhang Yun spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Li'an immediately waved his hand and hurriedly shouted, "No, it's too dangerous for you to go up the mountain alone. Ma Zhongguo has a gun. If you push him too far, he might shoot you and you'll die."

This is also true.

No matter how confident Zhang Yun was, he couldn't guarantee that he could see Ma Zhongguo in advance. If Ma Zhongguo suddenly shot him from dozens of meters away, Zhang Yun would indeed be injured.

"How about... Captain Zhang, could you lend me a gun?"

After a moment of silence, Zhang Yun suddenly spoke.

Despite the danger, Zhang Yun still didn't want to give up.

However, Zhang Yun still hoped that he could take this opportunity to touch a gun and fire a shot himself.

There was a bow and arrow in the spiritual spring space, and Zhang Yun also had archery skills, but he knew very well that in this mountain forest, trees everywhere blocked the view, so a bow and arrow was not very convenient.

But if you have a gun, you can climb a tree and use the high altitude to shoot wild animals from a distance.

Yes, Zhang Yun wanted to borrow the gun not to kill Ma Zhongguo, but to hunt the wild animals in Shifeng Mountain.

“Our guns are our militia’s second life, how can we lend them to you? Besides, according to regulations, we cannot lend our guns to others.”

Zhang Li'an immediately said.

It’s really a waste of food and salt.

Zhang Yun's eyes lit up and he immediately came up with another idea.

Suddenly, Zhang Yun picked up Zhang Li'an, put him on the back of the roe deer, and then snatched the Type 56 rifle from Zhang Li'an's shoulder.

"Captain Zhang, you can sit on the deer, and I'll carry your gun for you, is that alright?"

Zhang Yun laughed.

Zhang Li'an was about to get angry, but Zhang Yun had already patted the deer's rump, making it run away before Zhang Li'an had a chance to speak.

Zhang Yun immediately followed and ran away.

Sun Wenjie and Yang Tieqiang were about to speak up to stop him, but Zhang Yun had already run away in a flash, and they didn't have time to react.

"This...this mother is truly a talent."

Sun Wenjie laughed angrily.

"I'm truly speechless. It's not just about a gun. Sigh, the captain has really suffered."

Yang Tieqiang was both amused and exasperated.

In the mountains and forests, a roe deer carried Zhang Li'an, running at high speed.

"Zhang Yun, you're stealing a gun. That's illegal, do you understand?"

"Put me down quickly."

Zhang Li'an shouted angrily.

Zhang Yun didn't reply and calmly followed behind.

Soon, Zhang Li'an's mouth became dry and he couldn't even shout anymore.

Zhang Yun touched Zhang Li'an's waist again and took out a leather magazine, which indeed contained four bullets.

The militiamen carry guns, but each time they go on a mission, they are only equipped with 5 bullets.

There was already one bullet in the rifle.

The two red jackals, who had been searching ahead, finally began to howl.

Zhang Yun immediately realized something was wrong, so he gripped his gun with both hands and made a firing motion at any moment.
