Reborn in 1963: I Hunted and Stockpiled Meat During a Famine

"No, I just saw a funny-looking little thing."

"What's this funny little thing?"

Ma Quanxue looked in the direction Qin Qiming pointed and saw a little guy in the distance.

Its little body was furry, its limbs were short and clumsy, and its whole body was grayish-brown. It met their eyes right away.

“Oh, a raccoon dog.” Ma Quanxue chuckled.

Qin Qiming nodded: "This thing's skin is very warm, look how its fur is all sticking up. These things live in burrows, but they don't dig their own burrows; instead, they occupy the burrows of foxes or badgers."

"Really? You stole it?"

“It’s not about stealing; they only go in because they have nowhere else to live. When they have nowhere else to live, they go into cracks in the ground or tree holes. Very few animals in the mountains do that.”

Raccoons are indeed different from other animals.

This animal is quite interesting; they live in one burrow as a family, with one male and one female paired together.

As long as the male lives, the female will never seek another, and the same applies to the male.

They can stay together for life.

But these animals are only active at night, so why are they out now?

No one knows the exact reason; perhaps they came out in search of food.

Qin Qiming only looked away after the raccoon had disappeared from sight.

"Raccoon fur is so warm, wearing it feels like being wrapped in a quilt, it's very comfortable."

It's a pity these raccoons are breeding; the whole family needs them. Otherwise, killing a few to keep for winter would be excellent.

Qin Kang: "Forget about fighting the raccoons, get busy right now. Qiming, go back to the guard team first."

Qin Kang shook his head helplessly after hearing what Qin Qiming and Ma Quanxue said.

Qin Qiming is only worried about one thing now: if he sets up the bait but ends up catching a raccoon instead of a leopard, that would be too disappointing.

"Alright, Qiming, once you finish this last bit of work, pack up and go back to the manor and the village."

Several people took turns working, and they were busy for a long time.

Because the soil was not completely dry, the group worked together to dig a pit that was long and wide enough for a person to stretch their arms to measure, and nearly as deep as a person.

While considering the sturdiness of the net, Qin Qiming placed the bait on the top layer of thin branches.

After that, he stopped paying attention to what was happening there and went to beat up the guards.

Qin Kang, however, stayed in Majia Village and did not return.

After visiting the guard team, Qin Qiming returned home.

Before anyone could even take a sip, there was a knock at the door.

"Qiming, Qiming, are you there?!"

Qin Qiming strode to the courtyard gate, pulled it open, and saw Zhang Feng standing there, looking anxious.

"Qiming, my Yiyi has been vomiting and having diarrhea for some reason. Xiaoyao told me to come and get a wolf king tooth, grind it into powder, and give it to her."

Qin Qiming's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

"You must have run into something unclean. Wait a moment, I'll go get you the Wolf King's Tooth."

After rummaging around in the house for a while, he picked out a large wolf king tooth, took it out, and handed it to Zhang Feng.

"Qiming, thank you so much. I'll head back now."

"Alright, go ahead and do it."

Locals have a saying that if a child is frightened and vomits and has diarrhea, the wolf's teeth can stop the diarrhea.

But the medicine was actually made by mixing antidiarrheal medication into tooth powder.

Wolf teeth have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and dispersing blood stasis.

It is often used to treat colds, coughs, and infantile malnutrition.

Qin Qiming watched Zhang Feng leave before turning back.

"These wolf fangs must be properly preserved."

Qin Qiming handed his bag of wolf teeth to Min: "These are treasures. If any villagers need them, give them one; there are plenty."

Chen Xu took a large wolf tooth tied with a red rope from his neck.

"Sis, look, this is a wolf fang that Brother Qiming made just for me."

Min gently stroked Chen Xu's wolf fang: "Wear it properly."

Chen Xu was so excited that his face turned red.

The next day, Qin Qiming was chopping firewood with an axe in the courtyard, planning to prepare more firewood before taking Xiaobai to Zhangjia Village.

However, Min looked very nervous.

"I feel a little uneasy. Chen Xu and the others usually come back right on time, but it's almost five o'clock today and I still haven't seen them!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Qiming threw down his axe.

"You stay home and wait, I'll go and check along the way."

Qin Qiming had just descended halfway down the mountain when he saw Qin Qixiu running towards him.

"Brother, please save Brother Chen Xu!"

"what is wrong?"

Qin Qiming ran up to Qin Qixiu, bent down and asked.

Qin Qixiu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Brother Chen Xu's nose was so swollen it looked like a steamed bun after Qin Hongcui beat him up!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Qiming's eyes immediately narrowed.

"Come on, take me to see it!"

Qin Qixiu was running ahead when she accidentally fell, but she immediately got up and continued running.

When the two arrived at the village entrance, they found a group of children gathered together, with Xia crying beside them.

Qin Qiming stepped forward, grabbed Qin Hongcui, and slapped her.

Qin Hongcui was beaten until she was dizzy and disoriented.

"Why did you hit me?"

"Why did I hit you? What right do you have to ask?"

Although Qin Hongcui knew she was in the wrong, she still argued, "I just wanted to see Chen Xu's Wolf King Fang, but I didn't expect him to be so stingy as to refuse to lend it to me!"

Chen Xu, who had just been pinned to the ground by Qin Hongcui, suddenly scrambled to his feet: "This is robbery, not borrowing!"

"Chen Xu, don't get agitated, speak slowly."

Chen Xu then recounted Qin Hongcui's actions.

On his way home with his two younger sisters, his classmates praised his wolf-like teeth, saying they were unique in the whole school.

Qin Hongcui overheard this from the roadside and demanded to see it for him!

Chen Xu refused.

So Qin Hongcui tried to grab it, and then a fight broke out.

Qin Qiming saw that Chen Xu's nose was swollen from being hit, but his eyes were bright and alert, so he was obviously not afraid of Qin Hongcui.

"Good job. You should protect your own things. Next time, you must let your sister come home earlier to tell me."

Qin Hongcui reached up and touched the corner of her mouth: "You hit me, you have to pay me back with a wolf tooth!"

Qin Hongcui also wanted a wolf king's tooth so she could give it to her beloved.

"You still dare to demand compensation? Chen Xu is a student, and you are an adult. You have no right to hit him."

Qin Qiming grabbed Qin Hongcui's hand and twisted it forcefully.

"Let go of me!"

Qin Qiming asked, "Do you still want compensation?"

"Do not……"

Qin Hongcui didn't just not want it; she simply didn't dare to accept it!

Qin Qiming slapped her so hard that her mouth went numb...

Are hands made of iron?

Why does it hurt so much?

The other students looked on with envy, saying, "Chen Xu, your brother-in-law is really amazing!"

"That's right, he rendered Qin Hongcui powerless to resist with just one move!"

Several students came over and patted Chen Xu on the shoulder, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, Qiming-ge, I protected Wolf King Fang!"

"Well done, let's go home!"

Qin Qiming glared at Qin Hongcui.

Qin Hongcui immediately covered her face with her hands, worried that Qin Qiming would slap her again.

She could even feel her saliva involuntarily flowing out of her mouth.
