Reborn at 60: I Helped My Sister Get Rich Starting from Hunting

Zhao Dong broke out in a cold sweat. "That won't do!"

With so many people in the village, half of them are elderly people and children. If they were to be attacked by a pack of wolves, there would be nowhere to hide!

"Yangzi, have we gotten ourselves into a huge mess?!"

As he spoke, Zhao Dong turned to look in the direction of the village.

Everyone was frugal, and after dark, no one even bothered to turn on their kerosene lamps; they went to bed very early.

A person's defenses are at their lowest when they are asleep.

If you were attacked by wolves at this moment...

Isn't that just a death sentence?!

Zhao Dong could almost see mountains of corpses and seas of blood!

Zhang Yang dragged the dead wolf past him and suddenly laughed out loud, "What are you looking at? Thinking about your neighbor Cuilan, or Du Shujun from the educated youth settlement?"

"Yangzi! We've messed up! We're doomed! No, no, we have to go back to the mountains right now and kill all the wolves!" Zhao Dong said, his face pale.

Zhang Yang glared at him. "Are you out of your mind? Just the two of us? One gun, one crossbow, and we can wipe out a pack of wolves? You really dare to dream!"

Zhao Dong held him tightly, "But we can't just leave like this!"

"This burst wolf head, along with all the wolf blood on the ground, should be able to intimidate the wolf pack for a while."

Zhang Yang regained his serious expression, "But this is not a long-term solution. We really need to go back and remind everyone to make preparations as soon as possible."

Wolves are strong attackers, but their jumping ability is limited.

Each household raised its fence, which helped to protect against wolf attacks to some extent.

Seeing that Zhao Dong hadn't recovered yet, Zhang Yang had no choice but to patiently analyze the situation with him again.

"Don't take all the blame. Strictly speaking, we didn't cause this mess. The wolf pack was probably attracted by the roe deer."

"The wild roe deer couldn't find food in the mountains and tried to get closer to the village, so it ran from the deep mountains to the location we saw last time."

"We killed the roe deer, leaving behind a pool of roe deer blood, which attracted the wolf pack."

"Otherwise, you shouldn't see any wolves in this area."

“But even if we don’t kill the roe deer, the wolf pack will still follow the roe deer’s migration and gradually approach the village.”

"That's why there are patrol teams."

Zhang Yang took a deep breath.

He suddenly felt the gun in his hand become heavier.

Originally, they just wanted their family to survive, but they never expected that they would run into wolves as soon as they borrowed this thing from Zhang Minde.

The wolf pack threatened the lives of everyone in the village.

As the person holding the gun, he bore the responsibility of protecting everyone.

"Let's go, let's take this message back first!"

Zhang Yang finally persuaded Zhao Dong, and the two of them worked together to carry the wolf down the mountain.

Wolves are different from roe deer, and with the threat of a wolf pack lurking behind them, Zhang Yang didn't dare to carry the wolf back to the village just like that, so he took Zhao Dong to find Zhang Minde first.

In the dead of night, Zhang Minde was half asleep when he opened the door to find two people covered in frost and snow, and then he saw a headless, blackish-gray thing...

"What is this?!" Zhang Minde was instantly jolted awake. "You've run into wolves?!"

"Yes, Uncle De!" Zhao Dong's expression was a mix of crying and laughing as he looked at Zhang Minde as if he were a savior. "Please make a decision!"

Zhang Minde was completely bewildered. "What idea should I come up with?"

Seeing that he was rambling, Zhang Yang took the initiative to speak, "Uncle, we were lucky this time. We didn't encounter a pack of wolves, only this lone wolf that had fallen behind. But this wolf asked for help, so there must be other wolves of its kind in the mountains."

Zhang Demin stood with his hands behind his back, circling the dead wolf on the ground.

"Wolves have been around for a few years, but back then the patrol team was large and had plenty of guns and ammunition. When their alpha wolf died, the pack scattered. Winter came early this year, and there's less food in the mountains, so they've come closer to the village. It's really dangerous!"

Following Zhang Minde's lead, Zhang Yang recounted how he had cut off the wolf's head.

Zhang Minde immediately showed an appreciative look, "Well done! Leaving the wolf's carcass will serve as a deterrent; they shouldn't dare to approach for the time being!"

Zhang Yang dared not take credit. "Uncle, this is just a delaying tactic. The wolf pack may still attack the village later. So, please talk to the brigade leader about this first thing tomorrow morning and have him inform every household!"

Zhang Minde nodded seriously, "I understand! Alright, it's getting late, you should take this wolf back."

"Why don't we stay here with you?" Zhang Yang expressed his concerns. "I don't have the qualifications to patrol the mountain. It's dangerous to run around with a gun. If the captain finds out, not only will we be punished, but you might also be implicated."

Zhang Minde's gaze towards Zhang Yang became even more spirited.

This young man is really good!

Bold yet meticulous, he's a great candidate for patrolling the mountains!

He had just recommended Zhang Yang to the brigade leader during the day, and the brigade leader said he would find an opportunity to test Zhang Yang's abilities.

I never expected this opportunity to come so quickly!

"Listen to me! Take the wolf back! The captain will come to your house to check on the wolf first thing tomorrow morning!"

……

The production brigade leader who oversaw several nearby villages was named Zhang Haiquan.

Going back two generations, we can even trace some kinship with Zhang Yang's family.

But Zhang Yang's father passed away early, and the two families didn't have much contact, so their relationship became distant later on.

Zhang Haiquan is approaching forty and, in terms of seniority, is Zhang Yang's cousin.

But he had official business to attend to at Zhang Yang's house today, so he naturally kept the matter to himself.

"Zhang Yang, open the door, the captain is here!" Zhang Minde shouted loudly at the door.

Zhang Yang had gotten up early and, hearing the noise, quickly opened the door. "Good morning, Captain!"

Zhang Haiquan had heard that this kid was a reckless scoundrel, so he didn't have a very good impression of him.

But seeing him in person now, I suddenly felt that he was a bit different from the rebellious teenager I had met before.

I can't quite put my finger on the differences.

Perhaps it was because he witnessed bloodshed that his fighting spirit was ignited, leading to his change of nature?

Anyway, he seemed to have much more energy than others.

They looked much more presentable than the militia squads around them.

Zhang Haiquan silently pondered this as he followed Zhang Yang, who was leading the way, and arrived at the Zhang family's woodshed.

Before he even entered the door, he was greeted by a pungent, gamey smell.

When they looked closely and saw the headless dead wolf on the ground, they were immediately shocked.

They really are wolves!

Zhang Haiquan immediately stepped forward to examine the wolf's carcass.

After examining it closely, I only found a bullet hole on the wolf's right hind leg.

"How did you kill him?" Zhang Haiquan asked in surprise.

Zhang Yang scratched his head. "They mainly killed him by knocking him to death."

Kill him?

Are you bragging?

Zhang Haiquan, with his hands behind his back, looked at him sternly and said, "Don't lie!"

Zhang Yang calmly recounted the process of killing the wolf.

He had just finished talking about how he smashed the wolf's head with the butt of his shotgun, when a low growl came from outside the door.

"Mother!" Zhang Yan called out.

Zhang Yang ran out to check and discovered that Li Huifang had secretly followed him and overheard his conversation with the team leader.

What mother wouldn't love her son?

Upon learning how dangerous the process was, he couldn't catch his breath, his vision went black, and he fainted.
