He seemed quite regretful, as Jiang Wenwan had no idea what kind of hunting rifles the villagers used at that time.
Anyway, in her previous life she used an AK47 and various other weapons with silencers.
If you take it out and use it here, she can guarantee it won't be as loud as setting off firecrackers.
Modern technology focuses on noise reduction and quiet operation.
She took the opportunity to get more information out of him, using a few White Rabbit candies to coax the little garlic sprouts, and told him everything she knew.
"Anyway, that's how it is. Every autumn harvest, wild boars from the mountains would come down and wreak havoc on the crops. My grandfather and Zhao Si's grandfather would take their guns up the mountain and shoot a few of them first."
Wild boars do come down now, but even if they do, we're facing a food shortage, so they have even fewer to eat.
Garlic Sprout's eyes darted around as he looked at Jiang Wenwan and said:
"Sister Jiang, you're asking so many questions about the mountain, do you want to go up the mountain?"
Do you know how to hunt wild boars?
Those wild boars are formidable; they're so big, they must be incredibly strong.
Jiang Wenwan couldn't help but laugh when she saw him stretch out his hands as he spoke.
"I heard that Changbai Mountain is on the other side of this mountain, so I was thinking of going in to dig for corn."
But I'm afraid of encountering wild boars, so I thought I'd ask you, you clever little monkey, for directions first!
Garlic Sprouts looked at her with that familiar, knowing look in their eyes.
He knew that ginseng was a valuable plant.
“There are people in our village who dig for corn, but last year, Old Zhao, who was digging for corn, encountered a pack of wolves. I heard those wolves were really fierce.”
No one in the village went up the mountain to look for clubs anymore.
Jiang Wenwan continued to try to get information out of him.
"Didn't the captain have a gun? Why didn't he go up the mountain and take care of all those wolves?"
Garlic Sprouts looked at her with an expression that said, "You don't understand."
"My grandfather said that now that there's no war, the higher-ups aren't issuing bullets anymore, and every bullet used is one less available!"
If you want more bullets, you'll have to buy them yourself.
After hearing this, Jiang Wenwan understood everything.
She remembered that around 1980s, when they started confiscating firearms, and even hunting rifles couldn't be kept at home.
However, this may not have been implemented in some remote mountainous areas.
But even if you keep them, they're just a pipe dream since you don't have any bullets.
As they were talking, they arrived at Ge Lao Er's house.
Garlic sprouts hopped and skipped into the yard, calling out:
"Uncle Ge, I brought Sister Jiang to make a cabinet."
Ge Lao Er was just a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. Hearing what Suan Miao said, he quickly called to Jiang Wenwan, who had just put her bicycle away.
"Oh, Jiang Zhiqing, come in and sit down, it's still quite cold today!"
Jiang Wenwan greeted him with a smile, knowing that he meant it was still quite cold that day.
"Uncle Ge, there's no need to trouble you, I just came to let you know. You can just make me a cabinet. I don't have many bills on me, how about I give you some money?"
"Why not?"
"Sure, I have some right at home. Look, I applied some oil the day before yesterday when it was raining and I had nothing better to do. It'll be ready to use now that it's dry."
When Jiang Wenwan went over to take a look, it was indeed true; there wasn't even a lock on it yet!
Do you have a lock here?
"Yes! If you want it, I'll just attach the lock for you."
Seeing that the lock he took out looked quite new, she knew that this family specialized in carpentry, with a family tradition of craftsmanship.
So he said:
"Then I need three locks, do you have any?"
Ge Lao Er was taken aback and thought to himself: This new educated youth is quite wary; he puts three locks on one box.
However, he still said cheerfully:
"some!"
Garlic Sprout, standing to the side, asked innocently:
"Sister Jiang, why did you use three locks?"
Jiang Wenwan seized the opportunity to say:
"Because I have to be wary of Hu, the educated youth who shares my room!"
Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. Her biological father is my stepfather, and my biological mother is her stepmother, so we're considered sisters.
But she used to bully me, so I have to be careful around her.
Garlic Sprouts opened their mouths wide in surprise, blinking their eyes; it was clear their little brains were working at high speed.
Jiang Wenwan laughed again.
When Ge Lao Er's wife came out, she glanced at her and said:
"Judging from your bike, you're heading to the county town, aren't you?"
"Yes! Auntie, are you going? I'll take you the way."
Ge Lao Er's family waved their hands.
“I’m not going. I’m just reminding you that if you’re going by yourself, you might as well take the village’s oxcart. It’s not safe for a young woman to ride a bicycle by herself.”
Jiang Wenwan's eyes flashed upon hearing this.
"How could it not be safe? All I've seen along the way are warm and kind-hearted villagers."
Ge Lao Er's wife was amused by her words.
Jiang Wenwan knew in her heart that she was just saying that on purpose, but she wasn't wrong; most people were still simple, honest, and kind.
But in a large forest, there are all kinds of birds; there are good ones, and naturally, there are bad ones.
"You just need to be careful yourself."
Jiang Wenwan thanked her happily, gave her six yuan, and took a box with three locks back to the educated youth settlement.
They all went to work at that time.
After entering the room, Jiang Wenwan put the box away and then packed her belongings inside.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was in the room, she went into her spatial dimension.
She went to the bathroom and turned on the water valve. Thank goodness, there was water in her room.
Otherwise, she was really prepared to take a bath only once a month, or even once throughout the entire winter.
Unfortunately, there was no vegetable garden in her 250-square-meter space. She went to the armory to tend to her treasures and checked that her ammunition was still plentiful.
Then he went to the medicine storage room next door and tidied up the things on the lab table.
In her past life, she was a medical doctor, but only in secret; her research findings were published under other people's names.
To put it bluntly, she's highly sought after by everyone.
Although mercenaries also walk in the darkness, at least they can release their pent-up emotions.
I found two kinds of medicine in the laboratory.
That muscle-softening powder is very effective, as are the Mongolian and Han medicines; the smell of them can make people faint within moments.
For now, I'll just take out these two kinds of medicine. Oh right, and a tranquilizer gun too, we need to prepare that as well.
Two more rooms could actually be added to the educated youth settlement, but they would have to pay for it themselves.
It doesn't matter if I pay for my own accommodation if I want to live comfortably, since money is meant to make people feel comfortable, right?
After taking a shower, she went out. She was going to the county today to see if there were any people buying wild game.
She took advantage of the fact that wild boars were not yet a nationally protected animal to make more money.
She rode her bike to the county and didn't encounter any bad people. She went to the state-run restaurant to shop.
"Comrade, could you fill all five of these lunchboxes with meat buns?"
The restaurant waiter saw that she was carrying a net bag containing five lunch boxes, and guessed that she couldn't have bought them all for herself.
Only those sent-down youth would do such a thing.
"Comrade, do you have tickets? If you do, I can fill it all up for you."
