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

Ding Dahu also walked while cursing.

However, I have to admire him; Lu Yao is a real man!

When I was a teenager, I didn't have his ruthlessness.

He really went all out; he almost broke my nose.

My head is buzzing from his kicks; if he keeps hitting me, I might not be able to beat him!

The neighborhood was so noisy that none of the neighbors dared to come and break up the fight.

Everyone was afraid of Ding Dahu's old plaster.

Neither Lu Changyou from the backyard nor Lu Ming from the west yard dared to come out; it was better for their neighbor, Grandpa Zuo from the east yard, to shout "Stop fighting!" over the wall.

Some members of the Lu family hid inside the house to listen, while others squatted against the wall, peeking through the gaps in the tree bark fence.

Not a single one of them dared to fart.

Seeing that Lu Yao dared to go against Ding Dahu, the toughest man in the village, the Lu family members were also a little scared.

Has this child gone mad?

They had originally planned to come back for tiger meat after Ding Dahu left.

Seeing Lu Yao's furious expression, they didn't dare to come.

When Lu Yao saw that he had fought to a draw with Ding Dahu, he was so angry that he kept hitting his head.

With Ding Dahu's fighting ability, I could easily take on three or five of him when I was in my twenties.

It's a pity he's only seventeen and hasn't received any special muscle training yet; his body is still too thin.

Having a lot of technical skills alone is not enough.

At night, kerosene lamps were lit in the house.

Back then, even Jiapigou Village couldn't get an electric wire.

The only electrical appliances in the village were battery-powered semiconductors and flashlights.

The three men's stomachs were growling with hunger; the tiger meat had been simmering for almost two hours and was still not cooked.

The room was steaming hot.

The bottom of the kang (heated brick bed) was so hot it burned my buttocks.

I've never been willing to burn so much firewood.

Lu Yao sat on a small wooden stool in the house, kneading the melted yellow clay with his hands to make balls.

The girl, Lu Xiaoqian, wrapped ice in a handkerchief and rolled it on the back of his head to reduce the bruising on the swollen area.

Mother Jiang Guizhi sighed and complained that Lu Yao was too impulsive.

Lu Yao looked at his mother, who looked worried.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Mom, I have something to tell you, but you and your sister shouldn't tell anyone else."

"What's up?"

"actually……"

Lu Yao originally wanted to tell his family that he could know what would happen in the future, but then he thought that his mother was a housewife and didn't have much experience, and Xiaoqian was too young, so it was better not to tell her.

Even with your closest relatives, it's better not to know than to know.

Back then, he failed to kill the tiger, and the tiger carried Ding Dahu away. Moreover, his grandfather kicked his family out of the house, and Lu Yao was powerless to resist. The three of them ended up homeless and living in the production team's stable.

Lu Yao didn't tell what happened afterward.

Because it got too tragic later.

The young woman committed suicide by jumping into a well after being subjected to domestic violence by a ferryman.

My mother couldn't take the shock and went insane.

He died not long after.

19-year-old Lu Yao stabbed the ferryman more than thirty times.

He cut off his head and buried it in his younger sister's and mother's graves, then ran off to make his own way in the world.

He has weathered many storms over the decades and committed many evil deeds.

You can't say that.

They wouldn't believe me even if I told them, and it was actually quite scary.

"Mom, sister, I promise I'll make sure you live a good life from now on."

"We're having a tough time right now, so let's just tough it out. When the policies improve, I'll go into business and make money. Right now, while hunting isn't prohibited, I'll hunt to support you all."

As he spoke, he began to roll mud balls again.

This tiger meat might satisfy one hunger pang, but it won't fill you up completely.

In this era, we need to weather the storms before we can develop.

The policy doesn't allow doing business, so even if Jack Ma came back in his day, he would still have to go to work and earn a salary.

We still need to continue hunting.

Since I didn't have a gun, I made a slingshot to hunt birds.

I must get my hands on the gun myself.

It wasn't Ding Dahu's five-shot burst, but Zhang Mazi's Soviet-made SKS semi-automatic carbine hidden in the kang (heated brick bed).

Before liberation, Zhang Mazi was a notorious gang leader known for his arson, murder, robbery, and all sorts of evil deeds.

After liberation, during the suppression of bandits, his troops were scattered by the People's Liberation Army.

He changed his name and pretended to be a refugee who had fled famine, and came to Jiapigou.

It wasn't until two years later that he was implicated by his arrested accomplices and subsequently arrested by the police.

Everyone saw the gun that was found in the hidden compartment under the kang mat in his house.

However, Lu Yao didn't recognize what kind of gun it was at the time. It wasn't until he joined the army that he learned that the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle was made by imitating a carbine.

The carbine has a maximum range of one kilometer.

Its effective range is also around 400 meters.

Suitable for long-range shooting of animals.

It was much more powerful than Ding Dahu's five consecutive shots.

The effective range of a five-shot burst is only a few dozen meters.

Animals are more sensitive than humans, so it's not easy for you to get close enough to shoot them.

Therefore, carbines are more suitable for hunting.

However, although Zhang Mazi was over fifty years old, he was very fierce, and even Ding Dahu didn't mess with him.

His young wife was only thirty years old. She was quite fierce outside, but she was as docile as a lamb in front of Zhang Mazi.

Zhang Mazi told her to kneel, but she didn't dare to lie down.

So how can I get the gun hidden in the secret compartment under the kang mat, and how can I find the pack of bullets?

Once we get the gun, we can report him as a remnant of the Bearded Man's gang, which would be considered doing a service to the people.

Once he's arrested, the gun will be his!

"It's ripe! It's finally ripe!"

Jiang Guizhi called out from the kitchen, which made Lu Xiaoqian jump up with joy.

They cheered and ran to the kitchen.

"Time to eat tiger meat!"

Lu Yao also went out, where the aroma of meat filled the air.

Ah, it was around this time.

Later, hunting was banned. Tigers can eat people, but I've never heard of anyone daring to eat a tiger.

If you dare to eat a Siberian tiger, that's a crime that could cost you your head.

Lu Yao had never eaten tiger meat before.

It tastes almost like chewing tree roots, more fishy than beef, and tougher than venison.

Even though it's cooked, it's still a bit hard to swallow.

After all, he was a wealthy man who had eaten his fill of delicacies.

However, for Jiang Guizhi and Lu Xiaoqian, it still tasted delicious.

After all, neither of them could remember the last time they had meat.

Since the 1960s, we haven't even been able to afford lard, let alone meat.

Although Lu Yao didn't want to eat it, seeing how happy his mother and sister were, he still joined them in chewing the tiger meat.

The whole family was eating meat, each holding a bowl.

They were all very happy, even happier than during the Chinese New Year.

This feeling is even more joyful than making hundreds of millions in business.

Seeing his lost loved ones celebrating joyfully before him, Lu Yao couldn't help but shed tears.

Fortunately, the kitchen was steamy, so no one saw anything.

Lu Yao was genuinely happy.

Thank God for His blessing. I will definitely seize this opportunity to ensure that my mother and sister will no longer suffer any injustice.

And Ding Mei.

You've called me a rogue for decades, so I'll show you what a rogue I am.

Pull out my oxygen tube, and see how I deal with you.

That night, none of the family members slept well.

The kang (heated brick bed) is too hot.

They all crowded at the end of the kang (heated brick bed), leaving a large area at the head of the kang for ventilation.

Lu Xiaoqian insisted on sharing a bed with her brother and listening to his stories.

Jiang Guizhi said she was too old to sleep in the same bed with Lu Yao, and she kept asking why.

Jiang Guizhi blushed and couldn't explain it clearly.

Seeing his younger sister's innocent and naive nature, Lu Yao told his mother, "It's okay, let her sleep here."

The brother and sister lay together, Lu Yao holding his sister's small hand, feeling deeply moved.

For him, having not seen a girl for decades, and having his suddenly deceased relatives lying on the same kang (a heated brick bed) chatting and laughing, was more joyful than being truly rich.

While chatting with her family, she tried hard to recall what had happened over the years.

He wanted to sort out everything he could remember right now.

For example, he was friends with Minister Ju of the Armed Forces Department and his daughter Ju Wen later on, and he also knew about what happened to Minister Ju.

The police chief of the town's police station, surnamed Zuo, later became my friend in Jiangzhou, and I knew about his past.

Zhao Scarface, a notorious local thug, was also someone he was using.

With these resources, the road ahead will be smoother.

The next day, Lu Yao got up very early.

He gently moved the girl's arm away from him and climbed out of bed.

"Brother, why are you up so early?"

Lu Xiaoqian watched Lu Yao get dressed with sleepy eyes.

"Hey girl, I have something to take care of. Oh, and you need to do me a favor."

As he spoke, he whispered a few words in Lu Xiaoqian's ear.

Lu Xiaoqian smiled and nodded, then burrowed her head under the covers.

"I'll just pretend I have a stomachache, right?"

Lu Yao nodded, put on his cotton-padded clothes and trousers, put on his cotton hat, and picked up his patched wool glove.

He put the dozens of mud balls that had been dried by the stove into his handbag.

I went out and found a piece of wire from Line 8 in the warehouse.

He bent it into a slingshot handle using pliers.

There are no rubber bands.

However, Lu Yao had already made up his mind to go to Huang Yuejuan's house.

Huang Yuejuan was a female educated youth sent to the countryside, and she was twenty-seven years old and still single.

Everyone says she has high standards.

Because she used to study medicine.

When I was sent to the countryside, I worked as a health worker in the commune.

The house she lived in was built for her by the Jiapigou Production Brigade, not far from the home of the brigade leader, Ding Dahu.

Lu Yao came to her for no other reason than that she had the tubing used for intravenous drips.

A slingshot made of tubular leather is much more powerful than a rubber band.

"Clang clang"

Knock on the window.

"Sister Yuejuan, are you up?"

As soon as the door opened, Huang Yuejuan, who had just washed her face, peeked out:

"Hey kid, what are you doing?"

Lu Yao was taken aback.

I haven't seen Huang Yuejuan for almost fifty years.

I remembered her as pretty, but I didn't expect her to be this beautiful.

Like a lotus emerging from clear water.

She's much more real than the countless "internet celebrity" girls who are everywhere these days.

Her eyebrows were arched, her eyes were almond-shaped, and her lips were cherry-red. Her eyes were so bright that they could reflect a person's image.

Her full head of black hair was tied into two thick braids that hung down in front of her shoulders, with the ends of the braids swaying on the hillside.

This is the true story of a girl named Xiaofang in the village.

"Hey, you country bumpkin, what are you staring at like an idiot?"

Huang Yuejuan raised her wet hand and flicked water droplets off Lu Yao's face.

Lu Yao then came to his senses.

"Oh, Sister Yuejuan, my sister has a terrible stomachache, could you go and take a look at her?"

"My stomach hurts. Okay, I'll go right away."

"Then I'll carry the first-aid kit for you."

"Okay, I'll put on my coat."

Huang Yuejuan went to get dressed, and Lu Yao quietly opened her medical kit.
