Reborn 73 years later, he takes his mother-in-law hunting in the mountains.

How could Lu Yao not be alarmed when gunshots rang out in his own yard?

I quickly rode out of the yard.

The courtyard wall was just a half-person-high earthen wall with some dry branches stuck on top to prevent people from climbing over it.

You can see the entire courtyard from outside.

Inside were five older children.

Gou Shengzi, Tie Zhu, Ding Mei, Er Ni'er, and Lu Xiaoqian.

Ding Mei was carried to the yard and sat on a pile of firewood.

Gou Shengzi and Tie Zhu each had a small-caliber rifle.

Lu Xiaoqian also had one.

The five-shot rifle that Ding Mei had belonged to her father, Ding Dahu, was also taken back by Gou Shengzi.

Erni'er, however, was holding the leather slingshot that Lu Yao had made earlier, anxiously circling around her brother.

"Could you hold onto this for a bit, bro? Could you hold onto it for a bit, bro?"

That shot was fired by Ding Mei.

Ding Mei has now mastered the power of recoil; with the butt of the rifle cushioning her shoulder, she can withstand it completely.

Moreover, she was a good shot; she shattered a fist-sized snowball perched on a tree branch on the wall with a single shot from ten meters away.

When they saw Lu Yao return and push his cart into the yard, everyone quickly lowered the muzzle of their guns.

Lu Yao came in, saw the snowballs hanging from the branches of the trees on the courtyard wall, and immediately became furious:

"Are you guys stupid? Bullets don't have eyes! What if someone walks by on the street and you kill them?"

Erni quickly raised her hand: "I don't have a gun, it wasn't me!"

Ding Mei said, "They all ran out of bullets, but I still had some."

Indeed, the three militia groups had long since run out of bullets for their small-caliber rifles.

Ding Mei still had over thirty rounds left in her five-round burst.

When everyone was having a great time, they agreed that each person would fire a shot.

Hearing Lu Yao say it was so dangerous, he accepted it.

Ernier said to Lu Yao, feeling wronged:

"Brother Wa, Xiaoqian has a gun, but I don't!"

Lu Yao smiled and took the gun back from Lu Xiaoqian, giving it to Erni'er:

"Xiaoqian, if you're not going into the mountains, don't practice this. Read more books, learn to write, and you'll be able to go to school after the New Year."

Then he said to Gou Shengzi, "Keep this gun. When I have time, I'll give you a carbine. That one is much more powerful."

Now that Zhang Mazi is dead, and I am the militia company commander in charge of security in Shuiling Commune, it doesn't matter if I take out that gun and use it.

Tie Zhu and Gou Shengzi were extremely envious when they saw the Mauser pistol on Lu Yao's waist.

Lu Yao took it down and let the two of them weigh it and play with it.

They weren't allowed to fire their guns. Instead, they were given ten yuan and told to buy five boxes of ammunition from the supply and marketing cooperative when they had free time, so they could practice shooting at targets.

These guns were left with the village hunting team.

Ding Mei looked at Lu Yao without saying a word.

After everyone else quieted down, he pointed to the car:

"Hey kid, whose car is this? Is it Zheng Wenli's?"

"You recognize all of these?"

Lu Yao found it very strange.

Ding Mei rolled her eyes: "It's obvious. His bicycle is covered in handlebar grips, a seat cover, and a frame cover, like he's wearing clothes. And there are red ropes tied to the wheels."

Lu Yao looked at it and saw that the car was indeed decorated in a variety of colors.

"You seem to know him quite well?"

Ding Mei stared wide-eyed at Lu Yao: "What are you trying to say?"

Lu Yao's battery died instantly.

At this moment, he was a little afraid of Ding Mei.

I don't know how to face it.

I want to talk to her, but I don't know where to start.

Lu Yao had never been this conflicted about a business worth billions in his previous life.

He turned to Gou Shengzi and asked, "How's your mission going?"

"Victory achieved."

Lu Yao glanced at the quick-talking Lu Xiaoqian and the sulking Ding Mei, then called to Gou Shengzi:

"Come on, let's talk at your place."

Tell them to carry Ding Mei back into the house.

If Ding Mei hadn't been angry, I would have carried her inside myself.

Then Gou Shengzi and Tie Zhu came out.

Erni'er was playing with Ding Mei and Xiaoqian and didn't come along.

Lu Yao didn't say anything on the way, for fear that someone might overhear him.

But they had just arrived at Gou Shengzi's house.

I could hear people arguing in the yard.

The three men went inside, only to find a ferryman holding Gou Shengzi's mother by the hand and carrying a bucket filled with fishing nets in his other hand.

"You fucking stole my stuff! I'm not done with you today! Let's go to the town police station!"

The mother of Gou Shengzi was so frightened that she kept bowing:

"Brother Ferryman, I really didn't know this was yours. I only heard from my son that it was borrowed."

"Borrowed? This is fucking stolen!"

Liu Dugong spoke with righteous indignation.

It turned out that the water bucket that Gou Shengzi's family used to fetch water had leaked today, so Gou Shengzi's mother temporarily took out the tin bucket that Gou Shengzi had hidden in the storeroom and went to the well to fetch water.

Just then, Liu, the ferryman, passed by outside the courtyard.

I recognized it immediately as the bucket I had thrown away.

He was puzzled for several days after his buckets, fishing nets, and other tools went missing from his home.

But there were no clues and nowhere to look.

Seeing Gou Shengzi's mother holding her water bucket, he immediately became furious.

They stormed in with a righteous indignation and started overturning things.

As a result, ice axes, fishing nets, and other equipment were found in the warehouse.

He immediately shouted "Thief!" and was about to take Gou Shengzi's mother to the police station.

Just then, Lu Yao and the other two entered.

Gou Shengzi saw that the hem of his mother's cotton-padded jacket had been torn open.

Inside, she was wearing a ripped vest with half of her chest showing.

He immediately flew into a rage: "Ferryman, what are you doing?"

The ferryman grinned maliciously: "You brat, you dare steal my fishing net..."

I was only halfway through the conversation when I suddenly saw Lu Yao carrying a Mauser pistol.

Moreover, both Gou Shengzi and Tie Zhu were carrying a rifle.

I broke out in a cold sweat.

Now he trembles whenever he sees Lu Yao.

Quickly put on a smiling face:

"Haha, you country bumpkin, you're a militiaman, right? I caught a thief. Gou Shengzi's mother stole my fishing net!"

Lu Yao waved his hand at Gou Shengzi:

"He said he framed your mother for stealing fishing nets, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to beat him up!"

"Then let's go!"

"good!"

With Lu Yao backing him up, Gou Shengzi has nothing to fear.

He swung the butt of his gun and knocked the ferryman to the ground.

Fearing he might damage the gun, Tie Zhu quickly replaced it with a fire poker.

Gou Shengzi swung the fire poker and smashed it against the ferryman's back with a "crackling" sound.

The ferryman was beaten until he rolled on the ground.

"Oh dear, you country bumpkin, I didn't say I framed her; she really did steal my fishing net!"

"Your fishing net? Who can prove it?"

"Everyone in the village knows I fish!"

The ferryman, in pain, crawled to Lu Yao's feet and hugged Lu Yao's leg to explain.

Lu Yao kicked him away:

"Just because you fish doesn't mean all the fishing nets are yours! I kill people too, does that mean all the guns in the world are mine?!"

What kind of logic is this?

The ferryman quickly added, "This fishing net was passed down from my grandfather's generation. I've mended and rewoven it over many years!"

"Okay, let your grandfather be the witness."

"My grandfather died a long time ago!"

"Then there are no witnesses. I could have said this fishing net was left by Gou Shengzi's grandfather. You came in to steal the net and got caught, so you're turning around and accusing someone else?"

The ferryman was almost driven mad with anger.

He threw his head back and shouted, "You're framing me! You're all in cahoots!"

Lu Yao sneered: "Damn it, we're all in cahoots, so what? Gou Shengzi, tie him up and send him to the militia. I'll frame him and have him executed later."

"what?"

Gou Shengzi was stunned.

He stopped hitting her, holding the wooden stick.

The ferryman was terrified.

My cotton pants are all wet from peeing.
