Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

Seeing the game scattered on the ground, Jiang Sen successfully persuaded Hu Zhiqing. Early the next morning, he and Wang Haiyang went to the village chief's house to borrow a donkey cart and went to the team headquarters.

When they arrived at the team headquarters, Luo Yongcai was on the phone. On the table was a stack of manuscript papers, all of which were exquisite articles written by the educated youth as a gift for National Day.

"Haha! I didn't expect the Fourth Brigade to be full of hidden talents. I received more than forty articles. I don't understand these, but they look pretty good... They've already reached the Third Brigade? Then let's organize the educated youth here to keep up the good work and strive to open the road as soon as possible!"

He hung up the phone, his smile still lingering, and looked up to see the donkey cart at the door.

Jiang Sen and Wang Haiyang looked at him with smiles, their smiles widening.

"Good lads, you've come at the right time. The farm headquarters is carrying out a snow-clearing activity, doing joint construction with the army. Go back and tell the educated youth that we'd like to join in. Head towards the farm headquarters and try to get this road open as soon as possible!"

Jiang Sen nodded and said, "Captain, tell Captain Hu about the snow removal when we get back. Take a look at this first!"

On the donkey cart, two little wild boars with their hooves tied were rooting around and grunting.

"You ran into wild boars again?" Luo Yongcai's smile faded as he walked to the door and looked closely. "There's always a big boar following a little wild boar. Didn't you see that? It's too dangerous! Next time you see a wild boar, stay far away, okay?"

Jiang Sen and Wang Haiyang chuckled.

"Still laughing? If I'd known you guys were this reckless, I shouldn't have agreed!"

"Captain! Listen to us!"

Jiang Sen then recounted how the fisherman profited.

After saying that, he added, "Also, there are a few wolf pelts; bring them over once they've skinned them."

Luo Yongcai finally felt relieved and pointed at them, "Tell me, what do you want to exchange this time? Let me see if the team headquarters has it. If not, we'll go to the farm headquarters to exchange it after the road opens."

This was exactly what the two wanted.

Wang Haiyang is now on the list.

He said, "Someone in Kyoto wants to get some mountain products. We'll leave you one wild boar, and send the rest away."

Luo Yongcai simply said "Oh" without any further reaction, only adding, "You don't need to tell me this; you all got it yourselves."

The two couldn't help but exchange a glance, both seeing joy in each other's eyes.

In fact, Luo Yongcai already knew Wang Haiyang's identity from Zhang Jianjun.

Therefore, he said that if someone in Kyoto wanted mountain products, he would naturally not stop them; on the contrary, he would lend a hand at crucial moments.

After leaving behind a wild boar, Luo Yong found a wooden box from somewhere.

"Come on, put me here! You living thing... you won't die even if you go to the capital, will you?"

Wang Haiyang said, "Who cares if it's dead or not? We can still eat it even if it's dead."

Luo Yongcai was still a little worried, so he urged the two of them to go to the stable next door and get some corncobs to put in the box.

He sealed the box, patted it, and said, "Let's see if you make it to Kyoto alive!"

Wild boars can also be found in the mountains around Kyoto, and many restaurants serve this dish, but it is still a rare treat.

After all, these things only damage crops when they come down from the mountain, and not many hunters go up the mountain to hunt.

Therefore, this wild boar, weighing around 100 pounds, would definitely be a rare find in Kyoto.

Along with the wooden crate containing the wild boar, Jiang Sen and Wang Haiyang also sent the remaining sack of mushrooms, half of which contained pine nuts and hazelnuts.

After leaving the communications room, the two greeted Luo Yongcai and then drove the donkey cart back home.

Back in the village, after returning the donkey cart, Wang Haiyang gave Zhao Erhu a pack of cigarettes, which made the young man very happy.

At the entrance of the canteen at the educated youth settlement, people were working hard, with steam rising from large basins.

Several educated youths sat around a large pot, scraping hair off the plants.

They were laughing, sleeves rolled up, and some were even humming a song.

Mao Jun and the Sichuan girl were discussing how to cook wild boar meat in the best way.

Last time I made a stew, this time I'm going to try something different.

"Captain! We're back!" Jiang Sen shouted.

Ho Chi Thanh, who was sharpening his knife, looked up and exclaimed, "Pretty fast!"

“We borrowed Zhao Guangding’s donkey cart!” Jiang Sen squatted down next to him. “When I went to the team headquarters just now, Captain Luo said that the farm headquarters and the army were organizing a joint snow removal operation, and they’ve already reached the Second Brigade. Captain Luo told us to come back and tell them to organize a snow removal activity as well, so that this main road can be opened to traffic as soon as possible.”

"Great!" Hu Zhiqing was quite happy. He turned around and called over a fellow educated youth, "Old Zhang, the team headquarters has notified us that we're doing a joint snow removal project with the farm headquarters and the army. It's on the road leading to the farm headquarters. I heard they've already reached the Second Brigade! We can't fall behind!"

The educated youth named Lao Zhang looked to be in his thirties, with a dark complexion. He was probably the deputy team leader of the educated youth settlement.

Basically, whenever Ho Chi Thanh had something to discuss, he would consult with him, along with a few other people.

Old Zhang turned around and agreed, wiped his hands, stood up and said, "I'll go tell you now, you can cook at home!"

Hu Zhiqing agreed and replied, "Don't worry about logistics. If it's ready and you haven't returned by then, I'll send it over to you!"

Soon, all the educated youth came out.

They carried shovels and brooms, stood in rows, and set off singing.

Several people followed behind, carrying red flags.

Jiang Sen and Wang Haiyang didn't go with them. They thought it was still early and wondered if they should do something else. Then they saw Wei San waving at Jiang Sen from not far away.

Jiang Sen stood up and said, "Captain, Wang Haiyang and I will go see if we can get some more food. The snow is heavy, so we won't go into the mountains; we'll just stay around here."

"Okay, go ahead! It's okay if you can't find it, we have enough to eat with what we've stored."

Hu Zhiqing agreed without hesitation.

Jiang Sen gave Wang Haiyang a wink, and they walked together toward their lodgings.

Wei San was waiting for him at the corner.

"Something's up?" Jiang Sen asked in a low voice, glanced back, and pulled the person to continue walking inside.

Soon, the three of them left the area of ​​the educated youth settlement and stopped in front of several large trees.

Jiang Sen felt that this place seemed like a good place to make a meeting.

Last time, Lu Xiu and Feng Chao did this and that behind this big tree.

“We hadn’t been back long last night when I saw him meet Lu Xiu not far ahead. They only exchanged a few words before leaving,” Wei San said, glancing at Wang Haiyang as if weighing whether the man was trustworthy.

Jiang Sen asked, "Did you hear what they were saying?"

Wei San recalled, "I didn't dare get too close, afraid they would discover me. But I think I heard something about trains and railway tracks, but I couldn't hear anything else clearly."

Trains and railway tracks!

Upon hearing those two words, both Jiang Sen and Wang Haiyang felt a jolt in their hearts.

"Alright! That's enough about this. Go and help with the snow shoveling, and whatever you do, make sure they don't find out!"

Wei San nodded, turned and left.

Jiang Sen couldn't help but say to him again, "Be careful!"

Wei San's body stiffened for a moment, then he waved to him with his back turned.

Wang Haiyang asked, "Who is he talking about?"

The person Jiang Sen had Wei San secretly keep an eye on was none other than Xiao Ma.

Of all the people he suspected, only Xiao Ma was someone he couldn't figure out.

His arrival at the Fourth Brigade made Jiang Sen think twice.

Lu Xiu no longer needs to find evidence; it's already enough to prove he's a spy.

He met with Wang Weimin at a hunter's hut in the mountains, where Wang Weimin was arrested.

He had Wei San keep an eye on Xiao Ma just in case, but unexpectedly, he was right.

"pony!"

"Who?"

"Why are you shouting so loudly? Did you step on a mouse's tail?"
