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

Zhang Yang poured a bowl of meat soup for the villager who delivered the message, expressing his gratitude for their hard work in running the errand.

After everyone finished their soup and left, Zhang Yang stopped forcing a relaxed smile.

He looked at Zhao Dong and said, "Dongzi, did you hear that? There are no militia patrols in our village!"

Zhao Dong nodded, then immediately shook his head. "If there are no patrols, let's just lock our doors and get some sleep! You wouldn't expect me to..."

Zhang Yang patted him on the shoulder, "My brother understands me best."

"No! Absolutely not!"

Zhao Dong panicked and reached out to grab Zhang Yang.

He didn't know what the point of doing this was, but he knew he couldn't really let Zhang Yang take the risk.

"That's a wolf! Don't be a daredevil!"

"Keep your voice down." Zhang Yang shook off his hand. "You just stay in the woodshed and I'll go guard the yard."

The fire was still burning in the earthen stove in the woodshed, crackling and popping, which made it difficult for him to hear the sounds outside.

Therefore, Zhang Yang insisted on staying in the courtyard.

He used the clutter piled up in the yard as cover, then, holding his gun, began his long night watch.

The first half of the night was calm, except for a light snowfall.

Zhang Yang was dressed warmly, with a straw mat wrapped around his body, so it wasn't as cold as going up the mountain.

In the latter half of the night, Zhang Yang faintly smelled something unusual.

Immediately afterwards, they heard the sound of something stomping on the snow.

The sound was soft, yet powerful.

The footsteps grew closer, accompanied by heavy breathing.

Zhang Yang subtly moved the straw mat, observing the surrounding situation.

Just as he turned his head to the left, he saw a gray figure!

What a huge wolf!

It was a whole size bigger than the one lying in his room!

Moreover, it has a noticeable notch on its right ear, making it look like an old wolf that has been injured.

Zhang Yang gripped his hunting rifle tightly.

At that moment, the wolf also set its sights on the obstructive fence surrounding their yard.

The wolf gripped the ground tightly with its front paws, its body slightly lowered, ready to pounce at any moment!

Zhang Yang seized the opportunity and pulled the trigger.

boom!

A gunshot rang out, and a bullet flew.

The bullet pierced through the gaps in the straw mat and fence, heading straight for the old wolf!

The old wolf had already pounced into the air, but upon hearing the gunshot, it was clearly startled.

However, it was too late for it to retreat.

puff.

The bullet struck the old wolf precisely in the abdomen.

This is the softest part of a wolf's body.

The old wolf fell heavily from mid-air, smashing the surrounding snow into a flurry of dust.

"Ouch!"

The howling of wolves echoed from the east again, their mournful cries chilling to the bone!

"There really isn't just one!" Zhang Yang quickly loaded his gun, bracing himself for a desperate fight.

He had barely made a move when a lightning-fast black shadow darted out from around the corner of the alley ahead.

The wolf was darker in color. When it arrived and saw its dying companion on the ground, it went berserk and charged towards Zhang Yang's house.

The black wolf pounced with incredible speed, seemingly intent on taking Zhang Yang, the hunter, down with it!

Boom!

This time, Zhang Yang didn't dare to conserve bullets and fired two shots in quick succession!

Black Wolf lashed out twice, then let out a scream.

Both shots hit!

"Yoko! Yoko! How are you?!"

Zhao Dong, who was inside the house, could no longer hold back and rushed out with his crossbow.

Upon closer inspection, Zhao Dong saw two large wolves lying outside the fence, and he was so frightened that his hands trembled!

But he already had experience shooting once, so the crossbow was even more nimble in his hands.

Zhao Dong gritted his teeth, ran to the fence, and fired several arrows at the two wolves that were still panting.

The sound of gunfire woke up the entire Zhangjiatun village.

Although not every household had a gun, they had bone knives, hoes, and spears!

"The wolves have come to our doorstep, we can't just sit here and wait to die!"

"If we form a group of five, standing back to back in a circle, we can work together to kill wolves!"

The men from several families rushed out, discussing strategies with each other.

However, after they patrolled the village with weapons and torches, they discovered that the wolves were indeed there, but they were already dead!

How did he die?

"Are you dead?"

"I've never seen such a big wolf before!"

The villagers chattered amongst themselves, and couldn't help but poke the wolf with whatever they had in their hands.

Zhao Dong had now recovered from his immense fear.

He suddenly became nervous about the wolf pelts when he thought about Zhang Yang taking him to the black market in Maoli Town to sell wolves the next day.

Zhao Dong hurriedly said, "Don't poke it anymore! If you ruin the leather, you won't be able to sell it for a good price!"

The other villagers were dumbfounded. "Dongzi! You're something else! You saw such a big wolf, and instead of being afraid, you were thinking about how to sell it for money?"

Zhao Dong quickly covered his mouth, realizing he had said too much.

Taking advantage of the quiet moment when everyone had calmed down, Zhang Yang shared his thoughts.

"We don't know how many wolves there are. Even though these two are dead, we still need to be careful!"

"I suggest that we temporarily form three teams tonight to patrol the village in shifts!"

"Let's go find the brigade leader again when it's light tomorrow and ask him to reorganize a militia squad for our village!"

"We can't rely on people from other villages to guarantee the safety of our own village!"

The men of Zhangjiatun were all fired up by Zhang Yang's words.

Everyone recalled the details of the night and were filled with indignation.

"We often deliver vegetables to the militia in Wulipu, hoping that if anything happens, they will think of us and stock up on some!"

"But even though the wolves came tonight, they didn't even show a trace of humans!"

"In critical moments, we still have to rely on ourselves to save ourselves!"

"Yangzi is right! It's time for Zhangjiatun to re-establish its own squads!"

The men, their blood boiling, seemed to have rediscovered their youth.

Even though they hadn't slept much that night, everyone was full of energy!

Finally, the sky began to turn pale.

This thrilling night is finally over.

Zhang Haiquan rushed over in a thick coat and was so shocked when he saw the two large wolves being carried to the crooked tree that he could hardly speak.

"You killed them all?" Zhang Haiquan was speechless.

Zhang Yang remained nonchalant as he replied, "It's not entirely my achievement; Dongzi also contributed, and everyone participated."

Zhang Haiquan did not comment on his words, but he already knew what was going on.

Zhang Minde also arrived at this time.

He immediately checked the wolf's wounds, and then exchanged a glance with Zhang Haiquan.

Zhang Haiquan had no objections at this point.

"Since everyone is here, I'd like to take this opportunity to announce something!"

Zhang Haiquan looked serious, his gaze first sweeping over the villagers present, and finally settling on Zhang Yang.

"As you all know, our militia squad in Zhangjiatun was disbanded a couple of years ago due to disciplinary issues."

"The past two years have been peaceful and uneventful, so the matter of reorganizing the militia squads has been put on hold."

He was slightly embarrassed and felt a bit guilty, so his tone became more firm as he spoke.

"But now, our home is threatened by wild animals in the mountains! We've only seen wolves so far, but there are also bears, wild boars, and leopards in the mountains. It's really not safe!"

“A few days ago, Zhang Minde told me that he had found a new leader for the militia squad. At the time, I didn’t believe it.”

"But after last night's test of killing wolves, I believe everyone has witnessed Zhang Yang's abilities!"
