Marrying an Officer in the 60s: I Became the Clan Head After Moving to the Northeast

Qiu Yantang transmigrated, becoming the clan head of the desolate Qiujia Village on her very first day.

Everything her master had burned for her materialized. Her storage ring transformed int...

Chapter 28 Hunting in the Mountains

Huang Xiaohuang couldn't sleep in the first half of the night because he was too excited, and in the second half of the night he couldn't sleep because Qiu Yantang was suppressing him.

Not long after they fell asleep, the little frog ran out and slept with them. Its posture was very similar to Qiu Yantang's, with the whole frog pressing on it.

Putting it under my arm was a small matter, and occasionally I would put it under my thigh. The most terrifying thing was when it was almost dawn and I put it under my head...

It was a very difficult moment in Huang Xiaohuang's life.

My legs are better now, but I have some dark circles under my eyes.

The next morning, Qiu Yantang was awakened by a knock on the door. When he woke up, Huang Xiaohuang was still under his head, and Frog had disappeared.

Seeing that Qiu Yantang had already gotten up, Huang Xiaohuang quickly ran to the side.

But in Qiu Yantang's opinion, it was still a little lacking.

"Let's open it tonight."

Listening to Qiu Yantang's words, Huang Xiaohuang nodded, "I understand, thank you, little ancestor."

When Qiu Yantang walked to the door, she saw Qiu Guangdong and the others waiting for her there.

"Little Ancestor, shall we go?"

At this moment, Huang Xiaohuang ran out of the house and left. Qiu Zongsheng looked at the running yellow fox and felt that he looked a little familiar.

"You won't let me have a meal?" Qiu Yantang said. Isn't this too inhumane? Letting people go just after waking up.

Qiu Guangdong said, "Don't worry, little ancestor. I'll catch some birds for you when we get to the mountains. Birds are delicious now."

The bird he was referring to was the sparrow, also known as the house sparrow in Northeast China. Qiu Yantang had eaten it when he was very young, but later it became a protected animal and could no longer be eaten.

Very punishing!

But she basically never saw him again afterwards.

At that time, birds built their nests in trees or on roof tiles. Maybe there weren't as many trees anymore and the structures of houses were different, so there were fewer and fewer of them.

"Forget it, there's not much meat, I won't eat it."

Are you coaxing the child?

Jin San saw Qiu Yantang walking with a somewhat uninterested look and said, "Little ancestor, I'll hunt pheasants for you!"

Qiu Yantang nodded repeatedly, saying that pheasants were fine.

At that time, I heard people describe the Northeast as hitting roe deer with a stick, scooping fish with a ladle, and pheasants flying into the rice pot.

Although there has been a drought for three years, the animals in these mountains still have some ability to survive.

We soon reached the mountain and saw a pheasant as soon as we entered.

Jin San was also quick-eyed and quick-handed, and he shot the target directly with a bow and arrow. As expected of a Manchu, drawing the bow and shooting arrows seemed to be a skill in his bones.

Looking at the fluttering pheasant, Qiu Guangdong said, "Everyone, spread out and see if there's any prey nearby. Little ancestor, how do you want to eat this pheasant?"

Qiu Yantang looked at the pheasant, which had been bled by Jin San. "Let's roast it and eat it. Do you have any salt?"

"I brought salt, cumin, and chili powder. I'll give them all to you, my little ancestor." Jin San said as he dealt with them.

After the treatment was completed, an area was cleared and no weeds were left in the area to avoid fire.

This is also because they often go into the mountains and have a lot of experience.

The fire can also be controlled by using some thicker branches so that it won't scratch everywhere.

After all, setting fire to a mountain will result in life imprisonment!

When the food was almost roasted, Qiu Yantang's rumbling stomach was finally satisfied. When Qiu Yantang finished eating, Qiu Zongsheng and the others came over with strange expressions on their faces.

"Village chief, there is not much prey in this area."

He scratched his head, a little confused. Why did this happen? He saw the pheasant when he came in.

"Little Ancestor, which way are we going?"

Qiu Guangdong asked why a group of men like them wanted to take Qiu Yantang with them to hunt. This was the point. Moreover, even if a tiger appeared, they could fight it, so there was no need to worry about Qiu Yantang's safety.

Qiu Yantang thought for a moment, took off his shoes, turned around a few times with his eyes closed, and threw the shoes away.

"This way!"

Qiu Yantang pointed in the direction of the shoes.

Qiu Zongping looked at it, his face full of confusion, "Isn't this too casual, little ancestor?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Zongsheng quickly covered his mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I'm just throwing my shoes to ask for directions. If you encounter a ghost wall in the mountains in the future, you can use my method."

He has a guardian deity at home. Although Huang Ling doesn't need him to take action, he has learned a little from it. He naturally knows something about it. He knows such simple things.

Moreover, he is the kind of person who always says things in a positive way, otherwise, he may cause troubles by speaking out of his mouth and his words may easily come true.

Qiu Yantang listened to Qiu Zongsheng's words and nodded, "That's right, after all, God will give us a clear way out."

"Also, if you encounter a ghost wall, just act fierce and start cursing. Close your eyes and walk in one direction to get out. Remember, you must act extremely ferocious."

Everyone nodded after hearing this, and Qiu Guangdong even took out a notebook and wrote it down.

"Village Chief, please lend us your notes so we can copy them when you get back."

Qiu Guangdong also nodded repeatedly. When the writing was almost done, he would find someone to write it into a book and place it in the ancestral hall of Qiujia Village.

He felt a little embarrassed. At first, he thought that the little ancestor was a woman and so young, and might not be able to be a good patriarch of Qiu Village.

However, the elders of the tribe overcame all objections. From the current situation, it seems that these elders were very far-sighted. No wonder no one in Qiujia Village starved to death during the three-year drought.

"I want to hunt a rabbit. My wife's birthday is tomorrow, and I want to give it to her as a gift!" Qiu Zongping said. At this time, when people celebrate their birthdays, they eat an egg in the morning to bring good luck.

Qiu Zongping wanted to make his wife happier.

Those who go hunting in the mountains can pick out a small item to take back, such as a pheasant or a rabbit.

"Of course you can!" Jin San said. The little ancestor said that you should say something positive.

Just at this moment, a jumping rabbit appeared in front of us. It was gray and looked quite fat.

Qiu Yantang pointed at Qiu Zongping, who immediately understood.

"Swoosh!" Qiu Zongping shot the rabbit directly, and the rabbit lay on the ground kicking its legs.

"See, what did I say?" Qiu Yantang said, "Go pick up the rabbit."

"Why!"

Qiu Zongping quickly ran to the rabbit. The rabbit felt a little heavy when he picked it up, and everyone was envious when he brought it back.

Many families haven't eaten meat for a long time. Most of them went hunting in the mountains during the Chinese New Year last year and hunted a skinny wolf. Then the whole village cooked a big pot of soup.

The water was still carried down from the mountain.

With this precedent, everyone listened to Qiu Yantang more. Qiu Yantang was not in a hurry. They would probably have to spend the night in the mountains, which was also fine.
