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

The mother-in-law couldn't help but feel a little envious when she saw how energetic the children were.

"Look at them, they're running like cannonballs."

The mother-in-law and Ma Lianhe were given their belongings and went up the mountain with ease.

Qin Qixiu carried a pumpkin and ran, panting heavily.

Chen Xu slung the entire bag of sauerkraut over his shoulder, looking incredibly strong.

The three children were very lovable, eager to do chores and afraid that others would surpass them.

"Sis, I've brought the groceries back."

Chen Xu ran ahead and shouted at the entrance of the courtyard.

"Put it in the storage room!"

"okay."

The two younger sisters echoed in response.

"Ouch, it's so heavy!"

Xia called out from behind, holding a pumpkin.

"Huixia, slow down," Min said with concern.

The next moment, before she could finish speaking, Xia stumbled and fell to the ground.

Chen Xu immediately ran out of the storage room to help Xia.

Min ran over: "How are you? Did you hurt yourself?"

"Sister, it's okay, I'm wearing thick clothes."

"That's good."

Min smiled and ruffled Xia's hair.

Qin Qixiu stepped forward and asked, "Did you hurt yourself?"

Xia nodded awkwardly: "It does hurt a little."

Min: "Where does it hurt?"

Xia: "My hand hurts."

Min immediately grabbed Xia's hand: "Oh dear, your skin is all broken. Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Qin Qixiu said, "I'll go to my brother's room and get the liquor. He said liquor can disinfect!"

"Go quickly!" Chen Xu urged.

Min cautioned, "Don't rush, be careful not to fall again!"

"Okay!" Qin Qixiu replied and ran to get the liquor.

"Sister Huimin, here it is."

Min took the liquor and carefully poured some into Xia's hand.

"It hurts!" Xia's face scrunched up in pain.

"Bear with it for a moment." Min carefully cleaned and disinfected her.

"Okay, be careful from now on, understand?"

"Understood, thank you, Little Xiu."

"You're welcome. I'll put this back in my brother's room."

Qin Qixiu took a deep sniff of the baijiu and thought it seemed to have a certain fragrance.

then……

One bite after another...

When Min found her, she was already sitting on the ground, grinning foolishly, which startled Min.

Qin Qixiu was only six years old. She was afraid that drinking so much wine would make him stupid. After telling Chen Xu, she hurriedly went to Zhangjia Village to find the herb gatherer.

On Qin Qiming's side.

The group descended the mountain and walked along the muddy country roads, encountering people from the town and various villages in the mountains, as well as out-of-towners who had come down the mountain to make purchases.

They noticed the wild game on Qin Qiming's donkey cart and stopped in their tracks.

Some people asked about the source of the prey, some asked about the price, and some inquired about the specific hunting location.

Liu Qingsong nudged Qin Qiming, urging him to go and talk to these people.

Qin Qiming treated these people differently. He knew that those who asked about prices were potential customers and needed to be dealt with properly.

When asked about the village or hunting location, he would give a few casual replies.

When someone presses for details about the hunting location, the others will use guns to drive them away.

Seeing that these people were all carrying guns, no one dared to approach them anymore.

This group of people clearly came from an extraordinary village, and they were all armed, unlike those from ordinary villages.

Even if someone is tempted, they wouldn't dare to make a move when they see such a scene.

Otherwise, once you get into trouble, there's nowhere to escape, and it's simply courting death.

Qin Qiming thought that the most important thing about going to the county town this time was to ask about the price of pig cinnabar again, as that was the real deal.

If we sell them all, we'll have enough money to build another house.

As he thought about it, he felt more powerful under his feet and his steps became easier.

Just as Qin Qiming was feeling happy, a shout suddenly came from behind him.

He turned around and saw a carriage slowly approaching, escorted by several people.

"Make way, let them go first."

Qin Qiming shouted, and the crowd immediately made way, allowing those behind to pass smoothly.

"Thank you everyone!"

Passersby expressed their gratitude to Qin Qiming and his group, but upon glancing at them, they noticed that each of them was carrying a gun, and their pupils constricted.

Urged on by those behind him, he quickened his pace, looked away, gripped his sleeves tightly, and continued onward.

Qin Qiming watched the carriage gradually disappear into the distance, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

There's one person in this group who looks really familiar!

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Standing next to Qin Qiming, Liu Qingsong noticed the change in his expression and asked, "Is there something wrong with that carriage?"

"I don't know if there's anything wrong with the carriage, but I recognize the person traveling with it towards the county town."

Qin Qiming tried hard to recall, attempting to find the person's appearance in his memory, but he couldn't remember at all.

Although it felt familiar, he couldn't find any specific impression of it.

"Don't force yourself to remember; they won't take our things away."

Liu Qingsong encouraged him, "Don't worry, this time when you go to the city to sell the mountain goods you've accumulated over this period, you'll definitely make a fortune. The money you save will not only be enough for you to marry Huimin, but you'll also have a lot left over."

They chatted as they walked, not stopping even when people asked about prices along the way, and headed straight for the county town.

After a short rest, everyone ate the food they had brought with them, quickly filling their stomachs before continuing their journey.

"The county town is right in front of us, let's keep up the good work!" Liu Qingsong shouted, and everyone's spirits were lifted.

When Qin Qiming and his group were leading their donkeys into the city, they were stopped by a People's Liberation Army soldier.

The People's Liberation Army soldiers walked up to them, saluted, and said, "Your rifles must be stored here first, and you can retrieve them when you leave."

We understand that it's dangerous for you to go up and down the mountain, and carrying guns is understandable. But this is a county town, and regulations must be followed.

Liu Qingsong immediately agreed, signaling everyone to put down their guns so that the People's Liberation Army could count them. Qin Qiming was in charge of registering them, and then received a receipt.

"Comrade Qiming, you'd better hold onto this note carefully. Don't lose it, or you'll have to go through a lot of trouble."

Qin Qiming took the note, glanced at the name on it quickly, and then carefully put it away.

Qin Qiming and his group spent quite a while at the entrance of the county town just because of this gun issue.

"Old Ma, where did you put our guns? Don't let them hang out with those guys!"

"Don't worry, I put it in the west room."

Qin Qiming listened to their conversation, his mind racing.

So, those people have already entered the city.

"Comrade Qiming, you should hurry into the city."

Chen Jingen patted the frozen, rock-hard wild game.

"To be honest, this is the first time I've ever seen wild game being brought in by the truckload to be sold. Your village really has some tricks up its sleeve."

Qin Qiming smiled and remembered the task the village chief had given him. He needed to go to the government office today to find Zhao Meng and tell him about what was happening in the mountains.

He wasn't familiar with the area either, so he asked Chen Jingen, "Comrade, how do I get to the county government?"

What are you going to the county government for?

"Looking for someone named Zhao Meng, a soldier who is currently helping out in the county government."
