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

The hitching post resembles an adult in terms of height and build.

Hitting him from over fifty meters away is quite difficult for someone who has just started shooting.

But for a militia member who frequently engages in target practice, it's just average.

Lu Yao couldn't help but laugh.

It wasn't this easy when I was testing my students.

So he looked into the distance.

Two crows landed on an old locust tree about a hundred meters away.

He said, "The wooden stake is dead; I can't see its power. I'll just hit the crow instead."

Hao Limin is getting old, and his eyesight isn't very good anymore.

I vaguely saw two black dots on the tree over there, but I could only see them because of the white snow-capped mountains in the distance.

Looking at Lu Yao again with growing suspicion:

"Young man, don't be too hard on yourself. You're probably fairly confident, aren't you?"

At this moment, he began to question Lu Yao, wondering if he was just being arrogant and boastful in his youth!

Lu Yao smiled and said, "Boss, if you want to test my skills, I can't just hide them and not show them off. I'm confident!"

With that, he raised his hand and fired a shot.

The gunshot startled everyone around.

No one expected Lu Yao to strike so suddenly; no one even saw him aim!

The echoes of gunfire had not yet completely subsided when a crow landed on a tree over there.

The other one was startled and took flight.

"Bang"

Lu Yao fired another shot.

The crow, which had flown dozens of meters into the air, also fell to the ground in response.

"Yay! My brother's a sharpshooter!"

Lu Xiaoqian was so happy she jumped for joy.

Everyone was stunned.

Even Ding Dahu, who had always disliked Lu Yao, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:

"Holy crap! Really!"

The militiamen could hardly believe that such a big kid had done something so big.

Shooting birds in flight?

Still so far away?

The estimated distance is at least 140 to 150 meters.

They had all practiced shooting at targets during field training. As long as they could hit the target from this distance, it was fine; they didn't need to hit the bullseye. Their marksmanship was quite good.

Moreover, Lu Yao raised his hand and fired the gun without even seeing him aim.

The first shot was a fluke, but the second shot couldn't possibly be a fluke.

They were all incredibly surprised.

Yang Shouye saw that Lu Yao was even angrier.

He's so outstanding, it goes without saying that the county magistrate will like him...

Yang Shouye was a master of flattery and sycophancy, so how could he not study the mindset of leaders?

Knowing that County Chief Hao came from a military background, his favorite thing to do was to hold militia competitions.

I always come.

He always personally presented awards to outstanding militia members.

Unfortunately, none of the militiamen in Shuiling Town brought them any glory.

I can't even get into the top ten every time.

Sure enough, Hao Limin's face lit up with surprise.

However, being a leader, he held back and simply smiled and gave a thumbs up.

Meanwhile, Ju Wen, who was standing next to him, was already furious.

Straight clap with both hands:

"What amazing marksmanship! Lu, you're incredible!"

Hao Limin looked at Lu Yao with a smile:

"You're incredibly talented at this. Would you like to join the army?"

I asked the same question as Ju Zhenghua.

Lu Yao gave the same answer.

I don't want to be too far away from my mother and sister.

Hao Limin, however, was even more talkative than Ju Zhenghua.

"Alright, then you'll join the militia! We can't waste such a promising talent!"

He turned to Yang Shouye and said, "Have the militia company properly train this kid; he'll be a force to be reckoned with when he grows up!"

Yang Shouye nodded repeatedly:

"Yes, sir. I will definitely have the militia company train him into the best militiaman!"

Hao Limin checked the time: "Alright then, I have to go to Lincheng for a meeting. I won't disturb your conversation any longer."

Look at Ju Wen standing to the side:

"Wenwen, you weren't exaggerating, this kid really is a good prospect!"

"Of course, my dad kept praising him. You know my dad doesn't praise people easily!"

Hao Limin laughed heartily: "I don't praise people lightly, but this kid... is really good!"

He looked at Lu Yao with admiration before getting into the car.

Yang Shouye's smile faded only after watching Hao Limin's jeep turn the corner and disappear from sight.

Looking back, it's all about class struggle.

Although County Magistrate Hao admired Lu Yao, he also realized that County Magistrate Hao and Lu Yao did not know each other and were not familiar with each other.

The leader only admired him because of his excellent marksmanship.

Maybe I'll forget about this person in a few days.

However, Yang Shouye still dared not make things too difficult for Lu Yao for the time being.

"Alright, Xiao Lu, do you want to join the militia? Tomorrow, take your household registration booklet to the militia company in Shuiling Town and report to Deputy Company Commander Wang Biao. Once you're there, you must obey discipline and follow orders, understand?"

Lu Yao ignored him.

Instead, he looked at Zuo Shouquan:

"Brother Zuo, if you're alright, come inside and have some water. I'll ask my mom to make you some stewed wolf meat."

Yang Shouye was given the cold shoulder, which made him very embarrassed.

If it were anyone else, he would have lost his temper long ago.

But these were militiamen handpicked by the county magistrate, and he dared not say no to them.

She glared angrily at Ding Dahu.

"I'm leaving!"

As he spoke, he pushed his bicycle and walked out.

Several militiamen quickly followed.

One of the militia leaders, surnamed Jiang, kept looking back at Lu Yao, deeply admiring the young man's marksmanship and courage.

Zuo Shouquan could also see the tension between Yang Shouye and Lu Yao.

Staying here now is not a good idea.

But Lu Yao's words were still on his mind.

I was also filled with unease.

"Xiao Lu, how about this: when you go to town tomorrow, come to the police station to find me, and we can talk again. I won't come inside."

After saying that, he left.

Since Lu Yao didn't reveal that he knew about the matter when he became the county magistrate, he naturally wouldn't go around talking about it.

There's no need to rush to ask.

With so many people around, it's not convenient to say much.

He got on the sidecar motorcycle and sped off.

Only Ding Dahu remained outside the wall.

Lu Yao looked at him: "Aren't you leaving? If you don't, you won't get anything to eat!"

They called to their mother, sister, Tiezhu, Goushengzi, and others to go back inside.

Ding Dahu stood on the street by himself for a while.

He was so angry that he kept cursing as he walked back.

They criticized Yang Shouye, then Zuo Shouquan, and even Hao Limin.

However, he secretly regarded Lu Yao in a different light.

How did this little rascal suddenly become so capable?

On the day I went into the mountains on the third day of junior high, I cursed at him but didn't dare to talk back.

After falling in the mountains, he got up as if he were a completely different person.

The thought of him calmly hunting down the Siberian tiger sends chills down my spine.

No, I have to subdue this kid, otherwise who in the village will respect me!

Ding Dahu was used to ruling the land like a king in Jiapigou.

He was a little overwhelmed when a young man who commanded everyone's respect suddenly appeared.

It felt like his dominant position was about to be shaken.

……

Lu Yao and the others went inside.

The older children were still excited.

One by one, they surrounded Lu Yao, asking how he knew how to shoot.

Only Jiang Guizhi felt something was amiss.

She was frightened when she saw the way Ding Dahu and Yang Shouye looked at Lu Yao.

Although the county magistrate seemed to have a fondness for the country bumpkin, they were not related by blood, and the man couldn't be his protector.

A local official is more powerful than a distant one. If Yang Shouye and Ding Dahu cause trouble for us, things will get tough for us.

Tie Zhu, holding the newly made longbow, asked Lu Yao:

"Hey kid, are we still going into the mountains today or not?"

"Yes, let's go hunting!"

Gou Shengzi couldn't wait either.

But Lu Yao shook his head:

"The wolves in the mountains are still there. We don't have guns. If we encounter them again, we will surely die."

Erni'er added, "Yes, I ran into Uncle Ba this morning. They said the team's hunting party hasn't gone into the mountains, and Captain Ding is also afraid of encountering wolves!"

Seeing that Tie Zhu and Gou Shengzi looked a bit disappointed.

Lu Yao patted them on the shoulder:

"Don't be discouraged. Once I get to the militia company, I'll be assigned a gun. In just a few days, I'll definitely take you into the mountains."

Tie Zhu asked, "So what are we going to do today?"

Lu Yao smiled mysteriously, and taking advantage of Jiang Guizhi's inattention, quietly asked:

"Do you dare to steal anything?"
