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

Inside was a makeshift bed made of a few tree branches, but the wood was rotten and it was in a terrible state.

Qin Qiming went inside, looked around, moved the rotten wood outside, and cut two branches from a nearby sapling.

Next, he set up a simple bed and placed it in the room.

Although the wood in the room is somewhat weathered, it is still usable and will not collapse in the short term.

Qin Qiming sat down. He had already drunk half of the water in his kettle on the way, and now there was only a little water left in the kettle.

Deep in the mountains, water resources are abundant; you can find water just by being near a mountain spring.

The most important thing right now is to replenish your energy and eat something promptly.

He ate the dry biscuit and drank two sips of water.

Fearing he wouldn't reach the area before dark and would be exposed to predators, he ate as he walked at noon, only filling his stomach slightly and not eating his fill.

Now I can finally sit down and have a proper meal.

At this moment, Qin Qiming took out a map to examine it.

This map is very useful; he can use it to find the habitats of hunters in the past.

To prevent wild beasts from sensing his presence, Qin Qiming wore a small vest made by the wolf king.

Therefore, small animals avoided him along the way, and no wild beasts appeared.

This is the result of many years of experience from the veteran hunter.

Or perhaps it was because we were right at the boundary of a predator's territory that we didn't encounter any other predators along the way.

That night, Qin Qiming thought he would sleep soundly, but the long journey made him sleep exceptionally well.

Perhaps it was because the cabin was so well-preserved that I was able to sleep so soundly, having such a sheltered place to sleep.

He woke up with a sensation as if he were being gently stroked by downy fur.

Startled, he sat bolt upright and instinctively grabbed his gun.

result……

"Hey, Little White? What brings you here with me?"

Xiao Bai glanced at him, looking quite relaxed, and then darted into a small hole and disappeared.

Qin Qiming scratched his head, feeling puzzled.

At this time, it was roughly 5:30 in the morning, halfway up the mountain.

Little White sneezed cleverly.

Its voice was soft, almost like a person's. After sneezing, it would hop into Qin Qixiu's arms and rub against her affectionately.

"Qixiu, why are you up so early today?"

Min walked out of the room and saw that she had already gone downstairs.

"Sister Huimin, I miss my brother."

"Silly girl, don't worry, your brother will be safe and sound, I firmly believe that!"

"Me too!"

Then Min started cooking; in reality, she also missed Qin Qiming.

Qin Qiming had already eaten breakfast, and according to the map, today's next stop was much closer than yesterday's.

But the closer you get to a rest stop, the more difficult the journey ahead will be.

Sure enough, after resting, Qin Qiming closed the door of the cabin, inserted the wooden stick, and continued on to the next stop.

The road was rugged, and the only way to clear obstacles like tree branches was to use the village chief's family heirloom sword.

He didn't arrive at the second stop until evening.

The cabins at the second stop were even more dilapidated than those at the first stop, and were completely uninhabitable.

Fortunately, Qin Qiming had Liu Xiuqin make a hammock.

He set up a tall hammock nearby.

Despite the risks of sleeping in a hammock—if a tiger discovers him at night—he can only climb to a higher place and shoot to drive the tiger away.

But after a night, perhaps because he was wearing the wolf king's skin, he was surprisingly safe.

At the second stop, Qin Qiming had already traveled 15 percent of the way into the mountainous area.

Early on the third day, he searched for edible ingredients near the second station.

Qin Qiming checked the surroundings. Apart from the traces left by the old hunter, the rest of the deep mountains were covered with grass and unmelted snow.

Nevertheless, the mountain is now covered with green grass.

Qin Qiming set up a hammock nearby and continued his exploration.

Although the old hunter's map was ancient, the terrain remained largely unchanged, and he was determined to find the location of the ingredients marked on the map.

The search lasted for half a month.

People outside the mountains are anxious because it should be the rainy season, but it hasn't rained yet, and the land is cracking.

It is speculated that a famine may occur.

But they understood that if they didn't sow, they would get nothing, while sowing at least offered the hope of reaping something.

Therefore, spring plowing is still in full swing.

After searching for a month, Qin Qiming finally found a ravine area where the sun was shining and taro seedlings were growing vigorously.

He was so excited that he spun around in circles.

If all the harvested food can be stored in the cellar, it will be enough to supply the entire village with food for the whole winter.

This taro plantation stretches as far as the eye can see; Qin Qiming certainly couldn't dig it up by himself alone in the fall.

Moreover, the mountain is steep and there are wild animals around, so one person simply cannot finish digging it all.

However, if the village's guard team goes into the mountains together, they can dig up enough grain to supply the whole village for about half a month.

After exploration, Qin Qiming finally located the ingredients left behind by the old hunter.

He drew a line on the map and clearly marked the location.

Afterwards, Qin Qiming tidied up the hammock and other equipment, and immediately returned to the village to report the situation.

On his way back, he encountered a roe deer, shot one down, and brought it back to the village to share with the children to improve their meals.

Qin Qiming has been away from the village for nearly two months, and his family is worried about his safety.

On the one hand, Wang Tiantian envied the nice house that Min lived in, and on the other hand, she chatted with the educated youth in private.

"Do you think Qin Qiming is lost in the mountains and won't come back?"

"There are wild animals in the deep mountains. He's probably already dead. We haven't heard from him for so long!"

Wang Tiantian gritted her teeth, "What a pity that he died so young!"

Despite saying it, she was thinking to herself that the nice house had been taken over by Min and her group.

Wang Tiantian couldn't find an opportunity to ask the village chief if she could stay at **Min's house.

She worried that if the village chief disagreed, Zhang Feng's attitude towards her would change once the news got out.

Although her family's conditions were very difficult, at least she was able to eat.

During this period, Min survived entirely on willpower.

She firmly believed that Qin Qiming could not have died in the deep mountains.

Min faced the curious or sympathetic looks from others with composure.

She showed no signs of discomfort because she believed Qin Qiming would return.

The person she's waiting for will definitely come back.

However, today, Qin Qiming really did return home.

When Min heard the courtyard gate open, she excitedly ran out and the first thing she saw was Qin Qiming with a full beard.

"you are?"

"Huimin, it's me, Qiming!"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, **Min's tears welled up, and she rushed forward to throw herself into Qin Qiming's arms.

Qin Qiming threw the roe deer off his shoulder onto the ground and hugged her tightly.

I was so worried about you.

The children shouted from the second floor, "Brother Qiming!"

Several children hurriedly ran down the stairs.

Suddenly, Qin Qiming was surrounded by his relatives.

He spent two months in the deep mountains, missing them every single day.
