Chapter 61 Hunting, Appetizer

Wen Shu was cooking. Su Yue had hunted a pheasant in the mountains and had never been willing to eat it, so he immediately took it down and stewed it as soon as his daughter came back.

The temperature in the mountains is lower, so the meat can be hung for a long time after being salted and air-dried.

The Su family originally had no fine grains, so she opened the rice bag that Su Heng brought back and scooped out three full bowls of rice to cook. No matter how poor they were, she would not let her daughter go back to her parents' home without having enough to eat.

Seeing that she couldn't help, Su Heng washed the peaches and brought them out to the men in the main room.

Seeing that they all looked worried, he asked, "What's wrong?"

So Lu Mingchuan told Su Yue what happened just now. Su Heng frowned after hearing it and asked Su Yue:

"Dad, did you take my words seriously last time? This isn't going to work. We should prepare some food."

Su Yue sighed, but still nodded to show that he had listened.

At this time, Su Jing said, "Dad, use my share of the money to buy food. Let's get through this first and think about other things later."

"What nonsense are you talking about! I'm still rich, so I don't need to touch your wife's money. Just find me a daughter-in-law as soon as possible!"

People in the mountains get married early, basically in their teens. Su Jing is already considered an old man of marriageable age.

Su Jing was not moved at all: "Why would you marry a wife when you are almost starving to death? Are you old and confused?"

Su Yue slapped him on the shoulder and said, "You're teaching your father a lesson. Fine, I'll go to the city to get food tomorrow. Don't come to me and cry when you miss your wife!"

Su Yue listened to the advice, but he was worried about his eldest son's lifelong affairs!

He has a pretty face and many girls around him want to marry him. Even the daughter of the commune leader is interested in him.

As a result, he is already twenty years old and his younger sister is married, but he is still single.

The eldest son's temperament is like his youth, bold and full of ideas. Su Yue is also afraid that he is too opinionated and may go astray without someone to restrain him.

After hearing what his elder brother said to his father, Su Ming asked, "Dad, do I have some too? If so, please use my share to buy food."

He doesn't need a wife. He just wants to fill his stomach.

Then, as expected, he got hit on the head.

The lunch was quite sumptuous. Wen Shu prepared the vegetarian dishes very delicately. The only meat dish was placed in front of Su Heng and Lu Mingchuan.

No matter how greedy Su Ming was, he barely reached for his chopsticks. Su Heng didn't know what to say, so he just stood up and distributed a few pieces of meat to everyone at the table, saying:

"Let's eat together. We're all family. No special treatment."

Su Jing was extremely surprised when he saw the meat in the bowl. Was it because he had eaten all the meat by himself, and his annoying sister would roll her eyes if she left out two pieces for him and Su Ming to satisfy their cravings?

What methods did Lu Mingchuan use to transform his sister into a completely different person?

There wasn't much meat on the pheasant to begin with, and it shrank even more after drying, so each person only had a few pieces.

"My daughter is really sensible." Su Yue said to Wen Shu.

Wen Shu smiled and nodded. After the family happily finished their lunch, she went to get some food for Su Heng and the others.

Su Heng followed him and when she looked up, she saw a hunting rifle hanging on the wall of the utility room.

Wait, Su’s father used to be a hunter!

Seeing the gun, Su Heng's eyes suddenly lit up: "Mom, is this gun still usable?"

Wen Shu glanced back and said, "It can be used. If you want to go, ask your dad to take you there. However, there is a lack of water in the mountains recently, so it's hard to find prey."

The animals in the mountains are all smart. Although Su Yue is an old hunter, he is just an ordinary person after all. It is unrealistic for him to rely on hunting to support his family, so he does not often go into the mountains.

Su Heng smiled and said, "No need. Dad is tired from all the work this morning. Mingchuan and I can go."

It is impossible for any prey to escape her perception once she enters the mountains. Then she can let Lu Mingchuan take action. It would be perfect.

Thinking of this, she immediately went out to call Lu Mingchuan, but Su Ming wanted to go too after hearing that.

He heard that his brother-in-law used to be a soldier, so he must be an accurate shooter and can definitely set a fire.

Su Jing: "Then let's go together. Dad is resting at home. I'll take you there."

So the team became four people.

Su Yue, who was inexplicably excluded, sat at the door and scratched his head. He felt that he was not very tired and was still thinking about showing off his skills in front of his daughter and son-in-law.

Over there, Su Jing led a few people into the woods. Seeing Su Heng handing the gun to Lu Mingchuan, he asked, "Brother-in-law was a soldier, so he must be a very good shooter. Are you used to using this gun?"

Facing this somewhat difficult brother-in-law, Lu Mingchuan just smiled modestly: "It's okay, I'm used to it."

Su Ming said innocently, "That's good, brother-in-law. I think we can definitely get the goods today."

"Just wait, your brother-in-law will show you his skills later." Su Heng decided to let them see the Sniper King's strength.

Hearing Su Heng praising him, Lu Mingchuan straightened his back with the gun on his back, but the expression on his face was still very humble.

Su Jing's eyes flickered when he saw the interaction between the two, and he suddenly found it very interesting.

He took a few people into the mountains. He knew where there was a small pond where they could try their luck.

Unexpectedly, before they reached the pond, Su Heng stopped a few people and pulled Lu Mingchuan to walk around the bushes and explore the other side.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the woods, forming tiny spots of light on the grass.

And in the dense bramble bushes on one side of the meadow, a pheasant with colorful tail feathers was peeking out.

Su Jing, who followed, covered Su Ming's mouth to prevent him from scaring the pheasant.

Su Ming was completely confused and had no idea what was going on.

Lu Mingchuan had already taken out the gun and held it up, his eyes slightly fixed, and he lightly pulled the trigger.

"Bang-"

The gunshot rang out and the pheasant fell to the ground.

Before Su Ming could see clearly where the pheasant was, the battle was over. He was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth when he saw the pheasant that Lu Mingchuan picked up.

"This...brother-in-law is too awesome!"

Lu Mingchuan just smiled modestly: "Pheasants are easier to hunt."

Su Heng didn't know how to be modest: "This is just the beginning, just an appetizer."

Lu Mingchuan can shoot wild ducks with a toy gun, so it should be easy for him to catch them with a real gun. She wants to go into the mountains to hunt four-legged ducks.

Su Jing was also surprised and praised: "It's really amazing."

"Brother-in-law, can I learn shooting from you? I don't want to go to high school anymore. After I learn shooting from you, I will go hunting and I will definitely be able to make a living." Su Ming said.

"Stop, study hard." Su Heng quickly stopped him. She remembered that her brother had good grades.

Su Ming was puzzled: "Why? I have studied but there is no job for me. All the people in the city have moved to the countryside. If I go hunting, I can earn a living earlier. Big brother, don't you think so?"

Su Jing didn't know either. No matter how smart he was, he was just a young man from the mountains. There was no more information for him to refer to.

But he still rejected Su Ming's idea and said, "What is it? I'm not starving you. You're stupid anyway. Maybe reading more books will open your mind."

"How am I stupid? I got the first place in the whole school!" Su Ming was dissatisfied.

Su Heng found it funny and said, "Anyway, finish high school first. Why are you still a hunter and come to find your brother-in-law?"

The college entrance examination will be resumed in two years, and Su Ming will not be able to become a hunter by then.

There is no shortage of clear-headed people in the family. Since there is a way to advance, he will definitely be forced to pursue a good future.
