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

The hothead is called Ma Dong.

The man was tall and strong, from Majia Village. He was a local bully who often robbed others. As a relative of the village chief, he was extremely arrogant and used to running rampant. He never expected to meet a tough opponent today.

Originally, Ma Dong was very confident in his fists.

But to his utter surprise, before he could even throw a punch, Qin Qiming swept him off his feet with his leg, sending him sprawling to the ground with his front teeth knocked out!

Qin Qiming didn't tolerate it. He flipped the other person over and started hitting him from both sides, cursing as he did so.

"You call me a bastard? I hold a grudge."

The blow made the opponent see stars.

Seeing the other person beaten to a pulp, Qin Hao, fearing trouble would escalate, quickly stopped him, saying, "Qiming, what are you doing? Stop hitting him!"

"Brother Hao, am I fighting? He came to rob us. I'm already being lenient by not killing him. Besides, this kid brought weapons into the mountains and poached in other people's territory. What's the point of having a guard team? Let's just disband them all."

"Go ahead and kill me, you bastard, your whole family are bastards..."

However, before he could finish his curse, a short knife was shoved into his mouth.

Qin Kang's tone was cold and hard, his face expressionless: "Keep cursing, and I'll cut off your stinking tongue when you're done."

Just then, footsteps came from the woods, followed by He Changzhao's voice: "Qiming, stop!"

Upon seeing He Changzhao, Qin Qiming smiled and said, "You're not convinced?"

"If you're not convinced, then kill me if you dare!" Ma Dong continued to provoke.

Qin Qiming merely sneered, "Fine, I'd like to see how long you can keep up this act."

He Changzhao went up the mountain early in the morning to conduct investigations and visits, with the aim of checking the surrounding situation.

They had only been searching in the woods for a short time when they found a clue.

Then they saw several young people running over in a panic. As soon as they saw He Changzhao and his men were police officers, they immediately asked for help.

Upon hearing the young man's description, He Changzhao immediately realized it was Qin Qiming!

Ma Dong is a difficult person. He has dealt with Qin Qiming many times and was worried that Qin Qiming would suffer a loss, so he came here.

However, when he arrived, panting, he found that Ma Dong was the one who had suffered a loss, and even pulled out a knife!

This is absolutely unacceptable; it could result in someone dying!

He Changzhao roared as he stumbled his way to the scene, grabbed Qin Qiming, and pulled him aside: "Are you crazy? How can you use a knife in a fight?"

Qin Qiming calmly explained, "I didn't fight. You don't just use knives in a fight. Those guys trespassed into the mountains, claiming they were there to hunt. Look, there are sticks and bullet casings all over the ground... The little girl's body we found a couple of days ago had blunt force injuries..."

Qin Qiming deliberately spoke vaguely, and He Changzhao immediately understood his meaning: it would be unreasonable not to take Ma Dong away for investigation.

We just found traces in the woods, and Ma Dong coincidentally brought people over to steal the game. It doesn't seem reasonable to say it's nothing. They are clearly the prime suspects. If we don't arrest them, who else can we arrest?

He Changzhao glanced at Qin Qiming and ordered the police behind him, "Take Ma Dong away."

"Qiming, what are you planning to do with this thing?" Qin Kang gently nudged the brown bear on the ground with his foot. "To be honest, I've never seen such a big brown bear in my life. I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to see such a big guy again for the rest of my life."

"The future is long, who can predict what will happen?" Qin Qiming looked at the brown bear on the ground, also somewhat unsure of what to do. "Brother Kang, what do you think we should do with this thing?"

"Ask me?" Qin Kang asked, somewhat puzzled. "You should make this decision yourself, after all, you're the one who hunted the brown bear."

"Qiming, could you cut off a piece of meat for us to try?"

He Changzhao said with a smile.

Qin Qiming was taken aback: "If you really crave this, you can have all of this meat, I'm not touching it."

"What's wrong? You're a hunter, don't like to eat this?"

Qin Qiming shook his head, "That's not what I meant. This is a killer bear. If you don't mind, you can take it if you want to eat it. We don't eat this stuff."

"What? A killer bear?"

The police officers were stunned when they heard this, and even the ones who were tied up looked up and listened intently.

"Isn't it obvious? It's a bear that killed people."

"What's going on? Where did this killer bear come from?"

"The night before last, some people were drinking in Baijia Village. In the middle of the night, something entered the village, resulting in the deaths of four people and one person going insane..."

Hearing Qin Qiming's words, He Changzhao immediately understood: "You mean, this bear is the beast that broke into Baijia Village and killed people?"

"Yes. I followed the footprints in the snow all the way here..."

Upon hearing this, He Changzhao's expression changed.

Ma Dong and the others listening nearby were already horrified.

Damn it, so those bears who went to such lengths to scheme had such a terrifying background, killing and eating people!

"Ouch!"

A young man couldn't hold it in; a wave of nausea washed over him, and he began to gag.

"Behave yourself and don't move, or I'll break your legs!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Ma from the police station felt nauseous, but he still endured the discomfort and kicked the person in front of him a few times.

"So that's why you went to the mountains to kill it?"

“If we don’t get rid of it, what if it sneaks into the village one night, or even a neighboring village? What if someone dies then? We might as well kill it now to prevent future trouble.”

He Changzhao nodded: "You did the right thing. We have to get rid of it, or something terrible will definitely happen in the future! It's just that you took too much risks. How could you come with only the three of you? You should have called all the guards. It's easier to kill a bear with more people."

As he spoke, he glanced at Ma Dong and the others.

"Who can predict what will happen in these mountains? At the time, I didn't think too much about it and just killed him first."

"Director He, don't blame Qiming. If it were me, I'd definitely buy him a drink," Qin Kang interjected. "If it really gets into the village and something happens, it'll be too late to regret it. Qiming is worried about something happening; he's thinking about our mountain villages. The patrol team has been established for months, always saying they'll patrol the mountains and protect the forests, but what mountains have they actually patrolled, and what forests have they protected? Now it's clear, isn't it? They're patrolling the dangers in the mountains and protecting the people in the villages. If I were you, I'd definitely report it to higher authorities and let the government see that we rural people aren't just taking advantage of others. Then, you, the director of Yangguan Bureau, might even get some reward thanks to Qiming!"

"That's right, Director He, my brother is right!"

After they said those things, He Changzhao was indeed tempted.

"Alright, I'll take advantage of this opportunity and report the guard team's meritorious service to the government..."

Then, Qin Qiming and the other two dragged the bear away.

Watching Qin Qiming's departing figure, He Changzhao couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Hey Xiao Ma, what's your opinion on this matter?"
