Li Mu strolled slowly towards the back of the mountain, the crunching sound of his footsteps on the snow in the quiet forest being exceptionally clear.

Li Jianjun, who had been following closely behind him for about three or four miles, was almost running out of patience.

"Damn it, that damned bastard Li Mu probably doesn't know I'm following him and is deliberately playing with me!"

Li Jianjun muttered curses under his breath, but his feet didn't stop moving, as if he was afraid of losing the person in the blink of an eye.

Li Mu didn't notice anyone following him at first, until he was almost at the place where he would set the rabbit trap. He subconsciously took the opportunity to urinate and looked around.

Although no figure was seen, his long trail of footprints clearly indicated that he had been stepped on.

Even if you press down on the marks, there will inevitably be times when you are careless.

But Li Mu did not make a fuss.

Regardless of who he is, given his physique, he couldn't possibly fight back, let alone fight someone. Even if he were to tear into someone like an old woman, he'd be out of breath.

It seems that besides needing to improve his health, he also needs to quickly learn the military boxing style that his elder brother Gao taught him in his previous life.

As Li Mu was thinking this, he had already reached the trap.

The sudden appearance of the snow-white fox made him instantly forget the displeasure of being followed.

A well-tanned, top-quality fox fur can sell for at least a hundred or two hundred yuan.

As for fox meat, it is not only delicious but also very nutritious.

Stewing it with chicken and mushrooms is a nourishing and invigorating way to replenish energy.

Thinking about it made Li Mu's mouth water.

He quickly tied the fox up by the mouth and legs, then turned around and checked all the rabbit snares he had set off.

Except for the one that had been gnawed by the fox, which was unacceptable, a total of eight large, fat rabbits were caught.

But just as Li Mu was about to go down the mountain with the rabbit and fox, Li Jianjun suddenly jumped out from behind the tree.

"Li Mu, that's a good haul!"

Li Jianjun spoke with a grin, his eyes, no bigger than soybeans, greedily sweeping over the fat rabbits that Li Mu was carrying while injured.

"I was wondering why I felt like something was watching me from behind. Turns out it was you, Jianjun!" Li Mu replied with a smile.

However, they did not stop walking and continued down the mountain after bypassing Li Jianjun.

Seeing this, Li Jianjun immediately grabbed Li Mu's arm anxiously: "I said, don't go! Everyone gets a share. There are so many rabbits, you have to leave one for your brother, right?"

Li Mu turned around and smiled: "Is one enough?"

"You can give the brothers two more if you want, otherwise I can't guarantee that the news of you hunting rabbits on the mountain won't spread to the village."

Li Jianjun is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Li Mu was a hundred times unwilling for him to participate in hunting wild animals, precisely because he was worried that the whole village would find out.

If everyone goes hunting in the mountains, how will Li Mu make money?

"Li Jianjun, you're like a toad on your foot, it doesn't bite but it's disgusting."

Li Mu's face darkened, and he swung his arm and kicked Li Jianjun in the kneecap.

"Damn it, Li Mu, you bastard, you dare to lay a hand on me."

Li Jianjun, in pain, stumbled and knelt on the snow. He then began to curse at Li Mu.

However, Li Mu acted as if nothing had happened, picked up his things, turned around, and walked down the mountain.

If anyone tried to stop him today, Li Mu would have let it go peacefully.

But this person happens to be Li Jianjun.

In his past life, this scoundrel saw that he made money raising pigs and tried to find a way to partner with him in raising pigs.

But he had made a prior agreement with Brother Gao: Brother Gao would provide the money, and Li Mu would provide the labor; no other people could be involved.

Therefore, he politely declined Li Jianjun's offer.

For this reason, I even treated that bastard to several meals in a row.

But that bastard is something else; every time I see him, he speaks in a sarcastic and sarcastic tone without saying a word.

He secretly mixed the meat from diseased pigs from other villages into his pig feed, causing more than half of the pigs in his pig farm to die, and he also lost a lot of money.

Later, when he was working with a construction team, he cheated the villagers, not only losing more than a year's worth of wages but also causing Tian Xiaohu to become lame.

With that thought in mind, Li Muren had already returned to the Gao family.

At this moment, the lights in the Gao family's house were already on.

As soon as Li Mu entered the courtyard, he saw Hu Tou running out of the house crying.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Li Mu asked as he reached out to wipe the tears from Hu Tou's face.

Tiger Head's eyes gleamed even more fiercely at his question.

"I dreamt about my grandma, and I want to go see her."

"Is this it? Okay, we'll go see your grandma in a bit." Li Mu said, handing the things in his hand to Tian Xiaohu who was walking over.

Tian Xiaohu took the item and his eyes lit up immediately: "Brother Mu, you really caught a fox!"

"It's a pity there's only one."

Li Mu was somewhat unwilling to speak, and then asked, "Do you know how to tan leather?"

He doesn't know how to make tannins.

Tian Xiaohu shook his head somewhat embarrassed.

Now, he follows Brother Mu, and apart from being needed for physically demanding tasks, he can't help with anything else.

Li Mu didn't have high hopes for Tian Xiaohu, but good quality fox fur was easier to sell than fresh fur.

If it's bloodstained, it might have been dyed, and people will try to lower the price.

Secondly, if the skinned animals are not processed promptly, they are prone to shedding hair and falling into the lower grade, thus failing to fetch a good price.

"Then let it rest for two days, and I'll get everything ready before I deal with it."

As he spoke, Li Mu reached out and picked up Hu Tou: "Come on, let's have breakfast first. After we've eaten, your Uncle Mu will take you to town to see Grandma."

Upon hearing Li Mu's words, Hu Tou immediately stopped crying.

After eating, Li Mu took Tiger Head and the two rabbits straight to the county hospital.

Tian Xiaohu stayed at the Gao family's house. All the prey they hunted was now at the Gao family's house. Who knew if those heartless beasts in the Gao family would come and steal from their home?

There weren't many people in the hospital in the 1980s.

Most people are not used to seeing a doctor when they are sick; they just take some medicine from the village quack or the clinic.

Another issue is that people don't have much money; they wouldn't dare come for medical treatment or hospitalization unless it costs tens of yuan.

That's why finding people is not difficult at all.

But to everyone's surprise, when Li Mu and Hu Tou finally found the ward where Old Lady Gao was staying, they heard a commotion coming from inside.

"Luo Dongzi, you bastard. You've really forgotten your mother now that you have a wife. If your wife wants chicken, you should brave the snow and go into the mountains to hunt it for her."

"All I want right now is to eat some rabbit meat, and you're making excuses for me."

"Waaah... Oh God! Why is my life so miserable, Zhang Cuie..."

Rabbit meat!

He does!

Li Mu's eyes flickered slightly, and he tightened his grip on the sack's opening, pulling Hu Tou's hand as they walked into the ward.

Beside the bedside of the old woman who was crying and wailing, stood a middle-aged man wearing glasses and looking embarrassed.

Grandpa Gao and Grandma Gao, who had already woken up, were right opposite them.

The two of them were openly watching the spectacle, all that was missing was a handful of melon seeds.

Li Mu suppressed a laugh, speechless, and quickly walked to Old Lady Gao's bedside, asking, "Auntie, how are you feeling?"

"I brought you two fat rabbits. I'll ask the hospital's small kitchen to make you some soup. It'll be very nourishing."
