Reborn in the 1980s: Nine Stunning Beauties Get Pregnant Before Marriage

Ding Wanru gazed at the curtain of water hanging from the cave entrance and said softly, "This rain isn't going to stop anytime soon. Yongqiang, take off your coat and dry it first; you'll catch a cold wearing wet clothes."

As she spoke, she unbuttoned her coat. The coarse cloth coat, soaked by the rain, was draped over her arm, revealing a light blue cotton vest underneath.

The vest clung tightly to her slender waist, its graceful curves fully revealed in the firelight.

Chen Yongqiang also took off his shirt. The firelight immediately illuminated his muscular chest, revealing the clearly defined muscles honed from years of working in the mountains.

He wrung out his clothes and hung them on a makeshift tree branch next to the fire. As he turned around, his gaze involuntarily fell on Ding Wanru.

She was only wearing that thin vest, and the firelight danced on her beautiful shoulders and neck.

Ding Wanru noticed his gaze, a faint blush rising to her cheeks, but a playful smile played on her lips: "Didn't you get enough of looking last night?"

"It was too dark last night, I couldn't see clearly." Instead of looking away, Chen Yongqiang moved closer.

Ding Wanru's ears burned under his gaze, but she still mustered the courage to meet his eyes: "Is it pretty?"

"She's beautiful," Chen Yongqiang said honestly. Ding Wanru was indeed one of the most beautiful girls in the village.

"I didn't expect you to be such a scoundrel..." Ding Wanru said, raising her small hand as if to punch him.

Chen Yongqiang grabbed her wrist and gently pulled her back, causing Ding Wanru to fall into his arms.

"What are you doing?" Ding Wanru struggled slightly.

Chen Yongqiang leaned closer and placed a gentle kiss on her lips.

Ding Wanru was initially a little shy, but then slowly responded to him.

The pattering rain outside the cave perfectly masked the increasingly heavy breathing of the two.

Her fingers unconsciously climbed up his strong arm, feeling the warmth emanating from his skin.

Just then, a strange noise came from outside the cave, followed by heavy footsteps.

Chen Yongqiang released Ding Wanru, his eyes instantly sharpening. He turned and grabbed the double-barreled shotgun leaning against the rock wall.

"Brother Yongqiang..." Ding Wanru had just opened her mouth when Chen Yongqiang stopped her with a gesture.

The rain had subsided at some point, and light from outside the cave shone in, casting a huge dark shadow.

Chen Yongqiang, shirtless, quietly moved to the side of the cave entrance, his back pressed against the rock wall.

A brown bear stood upright, peering warily into the cave entrance.

Its heavy breathing condensed into white mist in the air; it was an adult male bear with shoulders and back as thick as hills.

"boom--"

Without hesitation, Chen Yongqiang fired the first bullet into the brown bear's chest.

The brown bear let out a painful roar, its massive body swaying, but it did not fall.

Its scarlet eyes were fixed on Chen Yongqiang's direction, as if it were about to rush over and fight like a cornered beast.

"boom--"

The second bullet followed immediately, striking the brown bear squarely in the neck. It finally collapsed to the ground, its limbs still twitching.

Chen Yongqiang quickly pried open the gun barrel, and two hot spent cartridge cases fell to the ground. He then took out two new bullets from his belt and loaded them.

"Bang—bang—"

Two more shots were fired, one into the brown bear's head and the other into its heart.

The brown bear then completely stopped moving. Chen Yongqiang maintained his shooting posture, the muzzle still pointed at the fallen bear, until he was certain it was completely dead.

Ding Wanru covered her mouth tightly with both hands, her eyes wide open.

"It's alright, it's dead!" Chen Yongqiang checked again before finally relaxing a little.

They had to act decisively. If that bear had charged into the cave, they wouldn't have had anywhere to hide in such a small space.

Ding Wanru released her hand that had been covering her mouth, stared at the enormous corpse at the cave entrance, and was momentarily at a loss for words.

Chen Yongqiang walked to the bear carcass and gently kicked its head to confirm that it was completely lifeless.

"It's a male bear. Judging by its size, it must weigh five or six hundred pounds."

Ding Wanru finally stood up and walked to Chen Yongqiang's side.

"Are you alright?" she asked softly, her gaze falling on his hand gripping the shotgun tightly.

Chen Yongqiang's eyes, however, remained wary as he scanned the surrounding woods. "I'm fine. But I might have to spend the night here."

This bear is a treasure trove, and we need to deal with it as soon as possible. Because Ding Wanru is here, it's inconvenient for Chen Yongqiang to directly put the whole bear into his spatial storage.

He quickly put on his half-dry clothes, took out his hunting knife, and said, "You take care of getting the fire going, I'll deal with the bear."

Chen Yongqiang walked to the bear carcass and began skinning it. This bear skin could fetch a good price if taken to the old tanner.

As he worked, he said, "Bear bile and bear paws are both good things. Take them home and see how you use them."

Ding Wanru responded, "You can sell the bear paws for money, but the bear bile has the effect of clearing the eyes. I'll give it to Zhang Shen to try."

"Okay!" Chen Yongqiang did not object, and he quickly peeled off the bear skin.

The knife in his hand gleamed coldly in the firelight as he sliced ​​open the bear's belly.

Chen Yongqiang cut up the bear meat: "This bear meat isn't very tasty, let's eat something else."

Ding Wanru didn't understand either, she just nodded.

She watched as Chen Yongqiang carefully removed the bear bile, wrapped it in prepared oil paper, and neatly placed the four bear paws aside.

"Aunt Zhang's eyes...can they really get better?" Chen Yongqiang suddenly asked, his hands still busy tying up the remaining bear meat with rope.

Ding Wanru replied softly, "We have to give it a try. With this high-quality bear bile, it might be able to alleviate the worsening of her eye condition."

She handed him the roasted sweet potato, saying, "You eat first."

Chen Yongqiang took the roasted sweet potato and blew on it: "You must have been terrified today!"

Ding Wanru ate a small bite of sweet potato and shook her head: "With you here, I'm not afraid."

She looked at the darkening sky outside the cave, "Are we really going to spend the night here?"

"Hmm." Chen Yongqiang wiped his mouth.

"Bear blood has a strong smell, and it might attract other wild animals at night. It's safer to stay by the fire." He got up and spread the processed bear skin on the rock wall, then hung the bear meat in a well-ventilated place. "We'll go down the mountain first thing tomorrow morning."

By the time Chen Yongqiang had dealt with the bear, it was already dark, and the distant howls of an unknown wild beast could be heard from outside.

Ding Wanru unconsciously moved closer to Chen Yongqiang.

Not long after, several mournful wolf howls came from afar.

Chen Yongqiang stood up alertly and walked to the cave entrance to look outside.

A few eerie green lights flickered in the distant woods, slowly approaching the cave entrance.

He instinctively gripped his shotgun, intending to fire a warning shot to scare them away.

But when his gaze fell upon the bear meat hanging on the rock face, he changed his mind.

"We can't take this bear meat with us either," he whispered to Ding Wanru.

"Why not feed it to the wolves? Once they're full, they'll leave."

As he spoke, he took a large piece of bear meat and threw it forcefully into the distance.

Actually, he did this for a reason. Taking this opportunity, Chen Yongqiang threw out a few dozen kilograms of bear meat.

He put the rest into his spatial storage, which explained where the bear meat went.

"Will those wolves really leave after eating the bear meat?" Ding Wanru asked with some concern.

"If they don't leave, I'll have to let them eat bullets." Chen Yongqiang checked his hunting rifle.
