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

Zhang Feng shook her head: "Don't think that just because the meat tastes good, it's safe. It's dangerous. Xiuxiu, you don't understand. A hunter's life is like living on the edge of a knife. I don't want you to live such a life of fear."

Tian Xiuxiu's eyes reddened. "Oh, I understand."

But in her heart she thought, "This meat is really delicious; the aroma is so enticing!"

Zhang Feng lowered her head and ate her noodles. As a rural woman, as long as she had land, her life was secure.

Chen Xu plans to settle down in the village, but the village will not allocate land to him.

He could only go hunting.

In rural areas, people are not afraid of hard work or fatigue, but they are afraid of not having land, as this is a major issue concerning the survival of the whole family.

After the meal, Tian Xiuxiu went into the kitchen, washed the pots and pans, and then washed the cabbage.

Although she felt a little uncomfortable about being two years older than Chen Xu, she was not very tall, and when she stood next to Chen Xu, they were the same height.

If you didn't know their age, they really would look like a pair of friends of the same age.

At this moment, Chen Xu was still running wildly halfway up the mountain.

"Ouch, sis, stop hitting me! I admit I was wrong! All I did was share a bucket of roe deer offal with the village kids to roast, is it really necessary to chase me all over the mountain and beat me like that?"

"You brat! Offal is meat too, and you ruined the whole bucket?"

Qin Qiming shook his head, stepped forward, and took the bamboo strip from Min's hand.

"Stop chasing after him and hitting him, or you'll just exhaust yourself."

"That brat, he has no idea how precious meat is! He gave away the whole big bucket!"

Chen Xu's facial muscles tightened, and he reached out to touch his buttocks: "Sis, I really didn't think that much about it. I was just happy that everyone was here, so I distributed the whole bucket of waste."

Min glared at him fiercely: "You spendthrift!"

Chen Xu's face was as tense as a bowstring. "Sister, I really didn't have anything else on my mind. I just felt that since we've all gathered together, we should divide that bucket of waste water among ourselves."

Min's eyes glared at Chen Xu like a sharp sword: "You really are a good-for-nothing."

"Sis, that slap really hurt so much it made my heart tremble."

"If you dare to act like this again, I'll still beat you without hesitation!"

"I'll never do it again, really!"

Oh, Chen Xu, Chen Xu.

No one gave him any pointers on how many pieces of meat should be on a skewer.

Chen Xu managed to string the bamboo skewers together until they were piled high, like a small mountain.

Qin Qiming: "I originally wanted to say that there should be less meat on each skewer, but so many kids were staring at it longingly in the afternoon, and I couldn't bring myself to say it."

Min looked up at Qin Qiming.

"This is not your fault, you can't be blamed."

Chen Xu pouted: "Sis, look at Qiming-gege's eyes, like he's looking at a rare treasure, but he looks at me like I'm just a weed!"

At this moment, Xia came out of the house: "Sister, come in quickly, the meat and offal soup in the pot smells so good, it looks so tempting!"

Min quickly replied, "Coming, coming! I'll be right back. My meat offal soup smells delicious. Hurry home and eat!"

Qin Qiming threw the bamboo strip at the door and asked, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt much now. It only hurts when I'm being hit, but it doesn't hurt anymore."

"Let's go eat."

"Hey, okay."

The family then sat around the table, which had a large bowl of meat soup and three plates of vegetables on it.

While eating, Qin Qiming said, "The public trial is the day after tomorrow, Min'er, let's go into the city together to take a look."

“It’s too late.” Min put down her chopsticks. “Xiao Zhao and the others just went to the countryside. I need to take them around to get acquainted with the villages these next few days.”

"Okay, when you have time, I'll take you to the city and make you a couple of new outfits."

……

Soon, the day of the trial arrived.

The place was packed with people; even the herb gatherers from Zhangjia Village came.

Seeing the sea of ​​people around him, Qin Qiming's eyes widened, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Just how many families has this blue-faced devil ruined? How come so many people have gathered for a public trial?"

"This is nothing! We've already come a small number!"

Qin Kang was jostled about by the bustling crowd, and could only move forward with the flow of people, panting.

"I reckon only the villagers from a few villages around the county heard the news and came over. Those places that were harmed even more by the Green-Faced Ghost either couldn't come because the road was too far, or they didn't know about it at all. Otherwise, the number of people here today would have increased several times over."

To put it bluntly, even when the Japanese devils came back then, they weren't as ruthless or capable of causing harm as he was!

Looking around at these people with angry faces, eagerly waiting to make their move, it's truly a miracle that the Blue-Faced Ghost has survived this long; his ancestors must have accumulated a great deal of good karma.

He has really offended everyone.

Even a wealthy man like Zhang Peng, who would get drunk and then pass out, hated him to the core; let alone ordinary people.

"Hey, I heard that it took our soldiers a lot of effort to catch that blue-faced devil this time."

"That's right. We were still waiting for a commotion here when the Green-Faced Demons got caught without any warning. I heard they killed several hundred people in a row, both in capture and beating. Our soldiers are really something!"

"This is a great thing! The Green-Faced Demon and his gang have been wiped out. Our area is finally at peace. That bearded man had been running rampant for decades, but now he's gone. It's truly a blessing from heaven!"

"I also heard that the Blue-Faced Demon was captured by the militia."

"Yes, yes, they said it was the militia of the mixed-surname village..."

"..."

As the bound man was pulled out of the stage, the surrounding crowd began to surge forward, and Qin Qiming and his companions were also pushed forward.

Fortunately, Zhang Peng was by their side. This strong man was like an indestructible wall, and no one could push them away.

The first person pulled out was a tall, thin man who knelt on the ground with his head down.

"Who has a grudge against the notorious bandit Yu Guang...?"

The person on stage shouted down to the crowd, but before he could finish speaking, someone struggled to get up and rush up, but was stopped.

"Fellow villager, this is a public trial. If you have any grievances or grudges, speak them out here. We will record them and make a final decision. We can't just rush in like this. Everything takes time. Otherwise, we would have just killed them back then. Why would we have waited until now?"

Several other people tried to rush forward, but they were stopped. They were told to speak up if they had any grievances.

"My name is Old Man Zhang, and I live in Maogou..."

The first middle-aged man to rush onto the stage pointed at Yu Guang, his eyes wide with rage: "That son of a bitch, he kidnapped my sister back then. When I tried to stop him, he pinned me to the ground and beat me. My father tried to stop him, but they beat him to death. My mother fainted from anger because of this..."
