Bringing Space to the 60s

Originally, Zhang Xudong lived a relaxed and comfortable life. Relying on the medical clinic left by his grandfather, he had no worries about food, drink, or money.

However, after a nap, he w...

Chapter 54 Hunting

Zhang Xudong broke out in a cold sweat after hearing what his grandmother said.

"Don't worry, grandma. I will never go to that place again. I just went there out of curiosity.

Curiosity kills the cat! Although I am not a cat, I think I am more suicidal than a cat.

We have enough food and drink, do you think I would be stupid enough to go there to make money?

Besides, I can make money with my own ability, and I don't need to rely on those things to make money. Making that kind of money is embarrassing for us. Grandma, just put your heart at ease. Is your grandson a fool?

Grandma nodded after hearing this and said: "My grandson is always a fool."

Zhang Xiyan nodded in agreement. "Grandma, how could Sister He fall for my brother? Is there anything wrong with her?"

"Yanyan, your sister He is good in every way except her eyesight. Please help your sister He more in the future, and don't let your unreliable brother be left without a wife."

Zhang Xudong put down the bowl and walked towards the bedroom. He couldn't live like this anymore. Whoever wanted to wash the pots and pans could do it.

Can't I have a temper? I won't wash the pot today. At worst, I can wash it tomorrow morning when I cook. What can you do? I've spoiled you two.

Zhang Xudong was so angry that he fell into a deep sleep after practicing martial arts. He slept so soundly that he almost woke up late.

Remembering that he hadn't washed the pot yet, Zhang Xudong didn't even bother to tidy up the space and hurried to the kitchen.

We have to wash the pot and cook quickly, otherwise we will be late for work.

As soon as Zhang Xudong left the main hall, he saw a light coming from the kitchen. Grandma was indeed a grandma; she was different because she'd seen the big things. Those past events were only fleeting; reality was life, and it was hope.

Zhang Xudong ate breakfast in a hurry and didn't even have time to practice boxing.

Zhang Xudong put a Tang sword, a pistol and some bullets in a backpack, put the backpack on his back with the rifle in his hand, said goodbye to his grandmother and left the house.

When he arrived at the brigade entrance, all the commune members who were going to work had already arrived, and the others were listening to the brigade leader assigning tasks.

The militia company commander, Uncle Zhuang, was waiting for Zhang Xudong with ten men carrying guns and backpacks.

Last night, the team leader and a few others discussed it and decided to only arrange eleven militiamen and Zhang Xudong to go into the mountains in order not to delay watering and strengthening the seedlings.

There was no need to drink alcohol to encourage hunting in the mountains; once everyone was together, they could just go. A group of twelve people, under the expectant gaze of the other members, walked into the towering Taihang Mountains.

Zhang Xudong was already depressed when he first entered the old forest because the eleven people were unable to walk. They wanted to dig up wild vegetables, pick mushrooms, and even the wild fruits on the trees.

Zhang Xudong quickly stopped everyone and said, "We went into the mountains to hunt. How can we travel if we carry a basket of things on our backs?"

It's a good thing to be able to hunt a pheasant or a rabbit on the outskirts of this forest. Even if you hunt until dark, it's still not enough for the villagers to eat.

While urging everyone to hurry up, he asked Zhang Dazhuang: "Uncle Dazhuang, who here has the best shooting skills?"

"Of course it's me, your uncle. How can I be their leader if I don't have some skills? Do you think they are all good people?"

Those people laughed and retorted, "None of us are good birds, only you are a good bird. Come on, fly a good bird for the brothers to see and broaden their horizons."

"Uncle Dazhuang, since you are a good shooter, you can use my gun. You can shoot pheasants and rabbits as you like. There are plenty of bullets." Zhang Xudong said as he handed the Type 38 rifle to Zhang Dazhuang.

"This is a new gun that hasn't been fired many times. It's not bad. Although it's not as good as our 56 and a half, it has enough bullets. I'm going to have a good time today." Zhang Dazhuang took the gun and was amazed for a while.

"Uncle Dazhuang, can we pay for your bullets?" Zhang Xudong asked.

"Dongzi, this isn't about money. It's about having money but having no place to buy it. Everything is in short supply right now, especially bullets.

"Each gun is only issued 20 rounds of ammunition. If you fire a bullet, you have to explain why and where you used it. You also need evidence and witnesses. Only after you explain clearly will we get a replacement. "Do you think we can just use it recklessly?" Zhang Dazhuang said helplessly.

Zhang Xudong led a group of people along the stream, heading deep into the mountains. Animals need water, especially in the summer. Wild boars love to wallow in muddy puddles. Where there's water, there's always prey.

Zhang Dazhuang had a great time along the way, shooting pheasants, rabbits and other animals from time to time.

I just saw a bird and wanted to shoot it, but Zhang Xudong quickly stopped me. That thing only has a few pounds of meat. Do you really think you have endless bullets and want to shoot a bird?

After two hours of traveling, everyone was exhausted. They'd just had a bowl of watery vegetable soup in the morning, and after peeing, they were empty.

Eat when you're hungry, and make a fire to grill meat. This time, Zhang Xudong was more cautious. He first asked Uncle Dazhuang to send two people to guard, and then the others started to collect pheasants and rabbits.

Letting them rest and barbecue, Zhang Xudong began searching along the stream.

We are already deep in the mountains here, so there should be wild boars, wild sheep and so on.

Zhang Xudong searched along the stream for more than ten minutes and finally found a messy hoof print.

Judging from the hoof prints, it seems that a big wild boar brought several little wild boars to drink water.

Zhang Xudong walked five or six hundred meters along the hoof prints, and heard the sounds of wolves howling and pigs squealing in front of him.

Well, this is like a fight between wolves and wild boars. There are many wolves, and one or two wolves would not dare to fight a full-grown wild boar.

Especially female wild boars protecting their cubs are more ferocious than male wild boars with fangs.

Zhang Xudong followed the sound and saw a small valley ahead. Inside the valley, nine wolves surrounded a 300-pound sow wild boar at the bottom.

The sow was standing in front of a rock wall, with a small cave behind her. The piglets must have taken refuge in the cave, while the sow was guarding the entrance.

The leader wolf was commanding several wolves on the side, running and jumping in front of the wild boar, confusing and provoking the wild boar, but did not dare to attack easily.

After a while, a wolf in front of the wild boar took advantage of the wild boar's distraction, jumped up, and bit the wild boar's neck.

However, the wild boar only used its big head to poke the wolf up more than two meters into the air with its mouth.

With a bang, the unfortunate creature's back hit a rock and it immediately fell to the ground, howling but unable to get up. The saying "head of steel, bones of iron, waist of tofu" really is true.

Seeing this, the wolves didn't dare to move forward easily, but just circled around the wild boar.

Zhang Xudong saw this situation and knew that the battle was still going to continue. "Hurry up and call for help! We want these wild boars, big and small. We can't let these wolves get away. After all, they are meat!"

Zhang Xudong quickly turned around and ran to call for help. What he didn't expect was that they were about to witness a wild boar fighting alone against a pack of wolves.
