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

Lu Yao was afraid that Zuo Xiaoying would expose his affair with Huang Yuejuan again.

I sat here and smoked a cigarette.

I think I should send Sakura over to check on her.

If Ding Mei's anger subsides, she will go back on her own.

It's not a good idea to always hide outside.

I remember when I was little, if I got into trouble, my mom would hit me with the broom handle. If I ran away to hide, everything would be fine.

By the time I got home, Mom had calmed down.

I wonder if Xiao Meizi can.

He told Zuo Xiaoying not to say anything in the future, and just see if Ding Mei would get angry.

Fearing that she might accidentally say something like, "She's still lining up to be my woman," Ding Mei might kill her at home again.

Not long after, Zuo Xiaoying ran back.

"Brother Kid, no one's home."

"Hmm? Then go check the backyard again and see if she's at my mom's house."

Zuo Xiaoying made another trip.

A few minutes later:

"No, Sister Yuejuan is here. She was looking for you and your sister-in-law, but I didn't tell her you were here. Aunt Guizhi also said that your sister-in-law brought back a bowl of steamed buns."

Lu Yao found it a bit strange.

Given Ding Mei's personality, even if she didn't go to her mother to complain, she would still have to go home and wait to be beaten.

How could it not be?

Did she go back to her parents' home?

Oops.

If she really goes back to her parents' home and tells Ding Dahu, she'll be in big trouble.

That old scoundrel still comes to our house to cause trouble.

You could beat him up before you got married, but now that you call him "Dad," it would be a laughing stock if you hit him again.

Lu Yao dared not hide anymore.

He got up and left, returning to his own home.

Zuo Xiaoying jogged after Lu Yao.

Once inside, I looked around but no one was there.

I opened the cabinet, but there was no one inside.

Zuo Xiaoying suddenly pointed to the kang (a heated brick bed):

"Hey kid, look, there's a note here."

As he spoke, he picked it up and read:

"You country bumpkin, I'm leaving. You can do whatever you want, whatever...what? I can't read, you'll have to figure it out yourself."

Lu Yao snatched it away.

The characters on it are very neat, like those written by an elementary school student.

Despite the numerous typos, Lu Yao still managed to recognize them:

"Little country bumpkin, I'm leaving. You can spend your money and play as you please, I won't hold you back. Don't look for me! I'm not going home, I'm angry..."

"Oh dear, where did little Meizi go?"

Looking back at the little nest on the ground, Tiger Girl was gone too.

Huh?

Looking at the wall again, after Ding Dahu got the carbine, he gave it to Lu Yao in a five-round burst.

Lu Yao was left to Ding Mei.

Now even the five-shot streak is gone!

Mom said she brought over a bowl of steamed buns. The bowl is still there, but the steamed buns are gone.

Ding Mei went out without her coat, and now she doesn't have it anymore.

Her military-style satchel is gone too?

With a gun and Tiger Girl by his side... Could they have gone into the mountains?

They went straight to Ding Dahu's house after leaving.

Yuan Shumei was still in the yard when she saw Lu Yao and quickly asked how he was doing.

Lu Yao also had to comfort her:

"It's alright, Xiao Meizi has a temper, she'll be fine in a bit. I'll come back and see if she hit you. If she did, I'll deal with her later."

"Stop bragging, go back and comfort her. I'm fine, I'm just worried about Xiao Meizi."

"It's really nothing. Um... she didn't come, right?"

"No, why?"

"It's alright, don't be angry with me. I'll find her and deal with her later. If you're going back to the city, you should go back first, so she won't ask you any questions if she sees you."

Yuan Shumei was at a loss.

If it weren't for her, she would have stayed to look for Ding Mei no matter what.

Now that Lu Yao has said that, she's not staying either.

She went back to the house to find her mother, Fan Suzhen, and the two of them went back to the city together.

Lu Yao wandered around for a while. Xie Chunfang was alone in the room. Lu Yao didn't dare to tell her that Xiao Meizi had run away in anger.

Hurry home to pack up, then head to the back mountain to find Ding Mei.

Seeing that Zuo Xiaoying had been following him for so long, keeping only three steps behind without saying a word, Lu Yao followed along.

"Don't talk to me about this anymore, and don't tell anyone else about me, understand?"

"Hmm. But... I'll go with you to find your sister-in-law; many hands make light work."

"No need, it would only cause more trouble if you went and let her see."

Zuo Xiaoying worried, "What if my sister-in-law does something rash?"

Lu Yao, familiar with Ding Mei's personality, shook his head:

"No, if I did anything to betray her, she'd kill me first if she had to!"

This is experience from a past life.

Lu Yao brought his pistol, put on his overcoat, and slung his bag over his shoulder.

They took out the oxygen cylinder, breathing machine, diving mask, and headlamp from the jeep and carried them on their backs.

He has already come up with a solution.

When a child cries, if you keep trying to comfort him, he will keep crying.

The best way is to distract yourself.

If Xiao Meizi goes up the mountain, then we should take her diving to find the treasure first; she'll be so happy.

Maybe I'll be able to forgive myself then.

Walking towards the back of the mountain, when we passed the vegetable greenhouse, it was Tiezhu's turn to be on duty today.

I saw Liu Shuangyan here too, watering the plants with Tiezhu.

Lu Yao then asked them if they had seen Xiao Meizi.

Liu Shuangyan quickly reported it, and indeed she saw it.

They said Xiao Meizi was taking Hu Niu up the mountain to hunt.

Liu Shuangyan even said she wanted to go along, but Xiao Meizi wouldn't let her.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yao felt relieved.

Looks like they're heading to Rabbit Ridge.

Then I can find her by following the road for a while.

As we headed towards the back of the mountain, Liu Shuangyan followed behind.

"Hey, Tuwa, you're going to find Xiaomeizi? Can I come too?"

"Go my ass, I'm not taking you!"

Lu Yao thought to himself, "I'm already in a mess enough, and you'll just make things worse."

If you insist on messing with me halfway there, and Ding Mei sees us, it won't be as simple as just throwing bricks at us; she's carrying a five-shotting gun.

After sending Liu Shuangyan back, Lu Yao went off to pursue Ding Mei with high hopes.

Women are easy to deal with; it just depends on whether she loves you enough.

Lu Yao is now using a strategy of avoiding direct confrontation.

As long as you catch up with her, there's no one else in the mountains. Take her to see some new things, or use a self-inflicted injury or something, and you'll have her hooked in no time.

Lu Yao was still somewhat confident that he could handle Ding Mei.

Although it will definitely be more difficult than dealing with Zheng Shuang back then, it will definitely be possible to resolve the situation.

That's how confident I am.

They strode up the mountain.

Upon reaching Rabbit Ridge, we found some footprints.

There are Ding Mei's and Hu Niu's.

Tiger Girl is now about the size of a medium-sized dog.

However, Ding Mei found it to be a burden.

It doesn't hunt, but it does eat meat.

Lu Yao had checked the warehouse; Ding Mei had taken away all the minced meat that was supposed to be for Hu Niu.

After wandering around Rabbit Ridge for a while, I didn't find Ding Mei. Following her footprints, I saw that she didn't seem to want to stop at all.

They crossed the mountain and headed towards the Wild Boar Forest.

Is this girl really going hunting?

Could it be that you're going to look for the caves in Wohu Ridge?

Ding Mei had mentioned to Lu Yao more than once that the hot spring valley was really nice, but unfortunately, she had difficulty walking around at that time and couldn't explore it.

They discussed that if Lu Yao had time in the future, they would definitely take her to play for a few days.

Did she go by herself?

Probably not.

Although Crouching Tiger Ridge is easy to find, it stretches for dozens of miles, and finding a cave among those rugged and crisscrossing mountains is not something everyone can do.

Only seasoned hunters who are used to roaming the mountains can find it.

With Ding Mei's skills, she might get lost in the Wild Boar Forest.

The Wild Boar Forest alone covers thousands of acres, with dense forests, thick grass, deep snow, and many wild animals.

Lu Yao started to worry.

I was so confident just now, but now there are no bamboo shoots left.

He quickened his pace and followed Ding Mei's footprints.

However, these footprints are not found everywhere.

Sometimes, when you encounter grass or hard snow, no trace can be left on it.

Lu Yao knew the way to Wohu Ridge, but he was looking for Ding Mei, not the cave in Wohu Ridge.

Therefore, you can't run that way first.

Ding Mei didn't know the way. If she went astray and he arrived at Wohu Ridge after dark, he wouldn't be able to find her when he turned back.

We could only patiently search for clues, keeping our heads down.

Fortunately, there were no footprints when crossing the grassland, but we could still find traces of the tiger girl's shed fur.

As we were walking, we suddenly heard a gunshot ring out from the Wild Boar Forest ahead.

Lu Yao was startled; this was the sound of five shots fired in quick succession.

Immediately afterwards, the sounds of old-fashioned rifles and Type 99 Japanese rifles rang out again...
