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

Liu, the ferryman, felt very aggrieved after being inexplicably beaten by Lu Yao.

When I get back, I'm going to find a few people to beat up Lu Yao.

In those days, people usually didn't call the police when fights broke out.

Unlike now, where you can be detained for punching someone, and if you fight back, it's considered a fight between two people and both of you are detained.

Back then, as long as you didn't cripple or kill someone, it wasn't considered a big deal.

Even if you call the police, they're too lazy to arrest him, and even if they do, he won't be detained for more than

Besides, everyone's poor, so nobody has the money to compensate you.

Therefore, most people who get beaten up will seek revenge.

If you can't afford to offend the other party, then it's best to swallow your anger.

Because if you call the police and have him detained, he will retaliate against you even more viciously when he gets out.

Not to mention in the mountains, even in the city, countless people were killed in armed conflicts at this time.

Who cares about the safety of the people in the mountains?

It's all because the people don't report it, and the officials don't investigate.

So the ferryman sought help from people in the village with whom he had a good relationship.

Of course, he wouldn't dare to approach Ding Dahu, knowing he couldn't beg him.

Find young people who are close relatives or friends.

But after finding two, I heard that Lu Yao had stabbed Yang Ming, the son of the commune director, with a knife.

Frightened, Liu Dugong quickly disbanded his group of relatives and friends.

Yang Shouye was a local tyrant; even I wouldn't dare straighten my back in his presence.

Lu Yao stabbed his son with a knife; wasn't that like daring to touch a tiger's tail?

Firstly, he thought Lu Yao was too headstrong and difficult to deal with, so he didn't dare to come.

Furthermore, I wanted to see what would happen to Lu Yao after he offended the local tyrant.

But how could he not be afraid when Lu Yao suddenly appeared at his doorstep today?

He thought Lu Yao knew he was looking for someone to take revenge.

I instinctively picked up the shovel.

Lu Yao asked, "What are you going to do? Are you going to fight me?"

"Huh? Ah! No, I need to go out and clean up the snow."

Liu, the ferryman, realized that the other party hadn't said he was going to hit him, so he quickly offered an explanation.

Although Lu Yao was only a teenager, his calm demeanor made Liu Dugong dare not turn against him.

"You country bumpkin, what do you want from me?"

"Come with me, I need to talk to you about something."

"What's up? Let's talk here."

"About Xiaoqian."

"oh oh!"

Liu the ferryman suddenly laughed.

A brilliant idea flashed into my mind.

This kid must be starving again. He's after my money and food coupons and wants to marry his girl to me!

These days I've been thinking about Lu Xiaoqian's pretty face.

She even imagines Lu Xiaoqian as the person she hugs when she sleeps.

The pillow has holes in it.

So when Lu Yao mentioned Xiaoqian, he was immediately smitten.

He followed Lu Yao out, limping.

Leave the courtyard and turn a corner.

Liu Dugong, stop!

"Just say what you have to say. Why did you have to come out here? Is Xiaoqian here?"

"Snap"

Lu Yao slapped him hard across the face.

Lu Yao grabbed his collar:

"I've come to warn you, you're absolutely forbidden from ever uttering the words 'Xiaoqian' again. Or I'll rip your tongue out!"

"I didn't mention it, didn't you? It was you who brought it up!"

Liu, the ferryman, was so wronged when he was beaten!

Seeing Lu Yao staring at him with eyes that seemed to be blazing with fire, he couldn't help but feel guilty and afraid.

Lu Yao also knew that the reason he forced his younger sister to her death was in his previous life, and that Xiaoqian was still alive and well in this life.

I just hate him when I see his face.

They pinned him to the ground and lectured him for a long time, pointing at his head.

It was to give Tiezhu, Goushengzi, and the others some time.

Although Liu the ferryman cowered when he saw him, he couldn't just take his things.

There are two concepts: robbery and fighting.

Besides, if you steal his fishing gear, and he calls the police, you'll have to return it to him when they arrive.

If it was stolen, he wouldn't dare to confront me without evidence.

Liu, the ferryman, was so bullied by Lu Yao that he dared not say a word.

He kept promising that he would never dare to go to Lu Yao's house again.

They avoided seeing Jiang Guizhi and Xiaoqian.

Lu Yao then released him and left.

When Liu Dugong returned home, he drank heavily in anger, unaware that many of his fishing gear, which he had left in the west room, were missing.

Lu Yao ran south all the way down.

Upon reaching the riverbank, they turned back eastward.

Pass through a small grove of trees, and you'll reach the fork in the road.

Sure enough, Tie Zhu, Gou Shengzi, and Er Ni'er were all there.

Tie Zhu shook the two patched fishing nets off his hands:

"Hey kid, look, isn't this it?"

Ernier was carrying two empty buckets, which were meant to hold fish.

Gou Shengzi held an ice axe in one hand and an ice pick in the other.

He asked Lu Yao excitedly, "Do you think these two things are useful? They're with the fishing net, so I just grabbed them!"

Gou Shengzi didn't recognize Bing Chuanzi, but he felt that it was heavy and could be sold for a lot of money as scrap metal.

In the past, besides stealing manure, he would steal iron to sell at the town's recycling center for money.

Lu Yao was extremely surprised when he saw it.

"My God, this old guy's got some serious stuff! I thought he didn't have an ice axe or ice picks; I've never seen him fish in winter before!"

Liu, the ferryman, has difficulty walking. A few years ago, when he went out to break ice in the winter, he broke his good leg again.

Therefore, he doesn't use the ice picks and ice drills left by his ancestors, which were used for winter fishing.

They also didn't tell anyone about the winter fishing method.

The members of these remote mountain villages are mostly lazy.

Everyone's just trying to get by; nobody's willing to put in the effort if they can get something to eat.

Lu Yao looked at the fishing tools and checked them; they were all usable.

During that period, even a tin bucket was a rare commodity.

Ordinary families still use wooden buckets or rubber buckets.

You probably couldn't find even two tin buckets in Manjiapigou Village.

"Alright, I'll teach you how to use these things. This place is high up, so even if that lame guy realizes he's lost something, he won't be able to find his way here."

Lu Yao started looking for a fishing spot at the crossroads.

These skills were learned later when I returned to Jiangzhou and learned them from some professional fishermen.

Back then, Lu Yao would return to Sitong River for winter fishing every winter.

Therefore, Lu Yao's experience is far superior to Liu Dugong's skills, which are passed down from his ancestors.

Breaking ice and setting nets isn't something you can do just by finding any river channel.

You need to find a bend in the river, where the deep water meets the shallow water.

Then we need to look at the characteristics of the ice surface.

By observing bubbles and listening to the faint sound of flowing water while lying on the ice, one can determine whether there are schools of fish underwater.

The optimal water depth is between 1.5 and 2.5 meters.

If it's too deep, the fish won't surface because they don't need oxygen.

There are too few fish in shallow water.

The fishing net that Tiezhu brought included a scoop net and a gillnet.

If the ice hole in the fishing net is too small, it's useless; it's best to use a hanging net instead.

The net isn't very big, only about ten meters long.

In the later stages, Lu Yao used mechanized winches to pull the nets.

A net spans the river.

Now, with a small network, you have to find the narrowest possible area.

Lu Yao chose a spot.

Then, use an ice pick weighing about ten kilograms to stab the ice surface.

After poking a notch, the iron pillar was then used to carve it out with an ice axe.

Both the bottom and top of the net need to be drilled with holes about one meter in diameter.

Several small holes were punched between the two holes.

It can be used to ventilate and attract fish, and can also be used to pull fishing nets with a pole.

They didn't steal the pole.

Lu Yao cut a few tree branches by the river.

Since the ice holes are close together, we use tree branches to hook and pull the net.

After setting up the net, the teenagers were all sweating profusely.

Hats were taken off, and cotton-padded coats were removed.

Ernier stood to the side like a clothes rack, wearing all of their cotton-padded coats.

After setting up the net, Lu Yao instructed the others:

"You don't need to stay here and hold out. Go to the woods over there and practice your archery and slingshot skills. Once this net is set up, it will take at least two or three hours before you can take it down."

Tie Zhu and Gou Shengzi had only ever gone into the water to catch fish; neither of them had ever used a net to catch fish.

Not to mention winter fishing.

Seeing that Lu Yao knew everything, she admired him even more.

She listens to Lu Yao in everything.

Lu Yao said, "I have something to take care of at home. You guys can practice archery here and watch."

After Lu Yao finished speaking, he put on his cotton-padded coat and ran home.

That carbine can't just stay at home all the time; I have to go back and hide it.

Before I even reached my doorstep, I saw a figure in a red cotton-padded jacket wandering around the roadside from afar.

No need to look closely, that's Ding Mei, my future mother-in-law.

I saw her under a tree by the roadside, fiddling with her braids and twisting her body.

She looked like she was gazing at him with affection.

Lu Yao couldn't help but laugh; his expression looked like he was flirting.

Lu Yao walked past her quietly.

The wide cotton pants couldn't hide her slender waist.

He recalled pushing her up the cliff by the backside; her rounded figure was full and alluring.

I must say, my mother-in-law has really nice curves.
