The uncle and nephew made their way back home in the dark. The grandfather and the others were still awake. Seeing that the two had returned safely, they arranged for Sun Zhengguo to go and rest.
The next morning, the family's breakfast had improved; although they were reluctant to eat white flour, they were now eating cornbread.
"Grandpa and Grandma, don't skimp on food at home. I'll bring you some every month or two. Eat as much as you want."
Sun Zhengguo was afraid that his family would start eating sweet potatoes again as soon as he left, so he gave them special instructions.
"Okay, from now on I'll enjoy the blessings of my grandson! Hehe!"
Grandma said with a smile.
Grandpa sat to one side, nodding in agreement, while my second uncle and aunt smiled without saying a word, and my cousin Zheng Nan was struggling with the cornbread in his hand.
After breakfast, Sun Zhengguo went to his maternal grandfather's house to discuss with him about going into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs.
In fact, he had no shortage of any herbs in his space, but he still had to put on a show.
"A century-old medicine is ready?"
Upon meeting, Lin Hong immediately inquired.
He didn't think his grandson would go to pick the produce on the spot; the chances were too slim. He must have made some preparations.
“I was prepared a long time ago. I got lucky last year and bought it on the black market. Can you take a look?”
Sun Zhengguo told a lie, then took out the ginseng he had prepared beforehand from his canvas bag and handed it to his grandfather.
Lin Hong took the small cloth bag, opened it, and was immediately surprised to see the ginseng inside. He quickly examined it closely.
"How much did this ginseng cost?"
Two minutes later, Lin Hong asked again.
"The person was in a hurry to sell and didn't seem to know much about it. He just said it should be about a hundred years old. I ended up buying it for 600 yuan."
After listening to his grandson's story, Lin Hong couldn't help but sigh. This silly boy is really lucky. This is not a century-old medicine. It must be two hundred years old.
"What's wrong, Grandpa? Have I been scammed?"
Sun Zhengguo is still putting on an act; he knows exactly what's going on in his own life.
Lin Hong was completely dumbfounded. "Are there really such swindlers? If so, give me as many as you can get."
“You weren’t scammed. This medicine is good. The rest of the herbs can be found on the mountain. Since you’re familiar with them, just go and pick them yourself!”
"Alright! Let's go up the mountain and see if we can catch some game to improve our lives."
"No, no, no! The game on the mountain now belongs to the collective. If you bring back a pheasant or a rabbit, it will be difficult to divide it among your friends."
Lin Hong quickly stopped him.
No one hunts in the village anymore; the village militia organizes the hunts, and all the spoils are distributed by the village.
"Alright, I'll do whatever Grandpa says. I'll go down the mountain after I finish gathering the herbs."
However, Lin Hong was still worried, so he told his grandson to go find Lin Wenjun to get a gun before going up the mountain.
Sun Zhengguo didn't refuse. He went to the village office, got a rifle from his uncle, and headed up the mountain.
On the way up the mountain, Sun Zhengguo didn't collect any medicinal herbs, since he already had them in his spatial dimension. He also lost interest in the small animals he saw, as the meat he had wasn't even enough to fill a tooth gap.
After leisurely making their way up the mountain, Sun Zhengguo decided not to venture any further. He found a cool spot, plopped down, and started playing with his rifle.
The rifle in Sun Zhengguo's hand has quite a history. This year, the village militia was just given two rifles, and his uncle took one for himself.
This rifle is the famous Type 56 semi-automatic rifle. This type of rifle was used by the police even in later generations, which shows that its performance is stable and reliable and that it is a good partner of the People's Army.
Today, his uncle gave Sun Zhengguo a magazine with a total of 30 bullets. Since he has nothing else to do, he'll practice shooting a few times in a bit.
Over the years, Sun Zhengguo had rarely handled guns. It only took him a few minutes to become familiar with the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle. After taking a few aiming shots, he was about to fire a test shot.
Suddenly, he heard a series of low, whistling growls in his ears.
Sun Zhengguo quickly gripped his gun and looked in the direction of the sound. What he saw startled him. About 25 meters to his left, five or six wolves were approaching him.
"Damn beast, we were really careless."
Sun Zhengguo couldn't help but feel remorse.
I must not have been careful while playing with the gun, allowing the wolves to get so close. If those beasts had charged at me, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
At this moment, the wolf king, the leader of the pack, noticed that Sun Zhengguo was looking at them and let out a howl.
Upon hearing the howl, a gray wolf nearby immediately charged at Sun Zhengguo.
The distance of twenty-odd meters was covered in an instant, and it looked like the gray wolf was about to charge at them.
Without thinking twice, Sun Zhengguo unleashed a powerful whip kick aimed at the wolf's belly.
"Awooo... Awooo... Awooo!"
The gray wolf was swept seven or eight meters away by a kick, letting out a pitiful howl. Its four legs trembled incessantly on the ground, unable to even stand up; it probably wouldn't live much longer.
Sun Zhengguo had practiced martial arts for many years but rarely had the opportunity to use it. Today was the first time he had revealed his strength, and he was quite satisfied with the result.
The wolf king was very cunning. When it saw the gray wolf's miserable state, it immediately stopped and kept howling, as if it was calling for its companions.
Sun Zhengguo didn't care. It was a good opportunity to test his strength. He had kung fu, a gun, mental strength, and a spatial ability. What was he afraid of?
He hadn't planned to kill any animals today, but these beasts came to him on their own, so he couldn't be blamed. It would be good to add a meat dish to the evening for the people of Dongxiang Village.
Whether it was the wolf king's call that worked or not, a few more wolves came soon after. However, the wolf king did not choose to attack, but continued to summon and howl.
Several more wolves arrived one after another, bringing the total number of wolves to over twenty, and the number is still increasing. The two sides are still in a standoff.
A great war is about to break out!
When Sun Zhengguo saw so many wolves arrive again, his palms became slightly sweaty. He took a few steps back, ready to pounce. He knew the wolf king was about to make his move.
Sure enough, after two more wolves arrived, the wolf king gave a signal.
Two wolves charged at Sun Zhengguo from the left and right respectively.
Sun Zhengguo hadn't expected that these beasts would even resort to strategy and know how to flank from both sides, but this was of no use to him.
Sun Zhengguo planned to defeat them one by one, so he spotted the slightly larger wolf on the left and rushed over in one stride.
As the man and the wolf met, a powerful strike, like Mount Tai pressing down, slammed his fist into the wolf's head like an iron hammer.
"Awoooooo...!"
This wolf's fate was even worse than the previous one; it not only let out a sharp scream, but also spat out a mixture of blood and white foam.
The attack paused for a moment, and the wolf on the right came over as well. In the blink of an eye, Sun Zhengguo delivered another side kick.
With a howl, this wolf followed in the footsteps of the first wolf and was about to meet its end.
Three moves to take down three wolves – Sun Zhengguo was very satisfied with this result, feeling it was a testament to his years of hard training.
After the two wolves fell to the ground, Sun Zhengguo had no idea how the wolf king would plan its next attack.
No matter how you attack, I can just use up a whole magazine. Once I'm out of bullets, I'll let you experience the power of Dongfang Bubai.
The scene was extremely bizarre, with a man facing off against a pack of wolves.
