The man in the green military uniform was very good-looking, tall and handsome. When he walked by, people around him, whether men or women, looked at him carefully and eagerly, probably envious of whose family he belonged to.
The man stood there and looked around the train station, then he picked a direction and left.
When Qin Qingman and Li Hongyi arrived at the county public security bureau, the atmosphere in the entire bureau was very tense. No matter what the police officers were doing, they would look towards the gate of the bureau intentionally or unintentionally.
As if waiting for something.
Seeing Qin Qingman and Li Hongyi coming in, everyone was stunned for a second before they breathed a sigh of relief.
Public security officer Xiao Zou came up to greet us and asked, "Did you encounter any trouble on the way?"
"It's okay." Li Hongyi was a little puzzled.
Only Qin Qingman felt nervous, as Xiao Zou's words revealed a lot of information.
"Xiao Zou, let me introduce you. This is Comrade Qin Qingman, the women's director of Hongqi Commune." Li Hongyi knew that Xiao Zou knew Qin Qingman because Qin Qingman had been to the county public security bureau before.
But Qin Qingman, who came at that time, did not yet have the status of a commune cadre.
"Hello, Comrade Qin." Xiao Zou stretched out his hand and shook hands with Qin Qingman.
Even though he belongs to the county police, in terms of rank, Qin Qingman is higher than him and can be considered a cadre leader.
"Comrade Xiao Zou, is Comrade Zheng Xuesong here?" Qin Qingman followed Li Hongyi to the County Public Security Bureau this time not only to help Li Hongyi prove the authenticity of the transcript, she also had something more important to do with Zheng Xuesong.
He even went to look not only for Zheng Xuesong but also for the director of the county public security bureau.
She had met the director before. His name was Fang Lu. He was an upright and responsible man. He was a retired soldier who had transferred from the army. He was Wang Chengping's former subordinate in the XXX Division and was also familiar with Wei Ling.
"Comrade Qin, Comrade Zheng Xuesong is in the office, please follow me."
Xiao Zou was originally sent by Zheng Xuesong to the Public Security Department to gather information. When he saw Qin Qingman wanted to see Zheng Xuesong, he immediately led people to Zheng Xuesong's office, and Li Hongyi followed automatically.
Zhao Tiancheng was arrested because of the information and conclusive evidence that Li Hongyi sent from Hongqi Farm. At this time, Li Hongyi, who had returned to the Public Security Bureau, also had to report to Zheng Xuesong as soon as possible.
The transcript in hand should be shown to Zheng Xuesong and filed.
Zheng Xuesong is the captain of the county public security bureau. He has great responsibilities and powers and has his own independent office. At this time, he did not participate in the interrogation, but handled official business in the office and was also waiting for Li Hongyi.
As a result, not only did he wait for Li Hongyi, but he also waited for Qin Qingman.
When Zheng Xuesong saw Qin Qingman, he knew that Qin Qingman came not only to be a witness for Li Hongyi. After a simple greeting, he quickly took the transcript handed to him by Li Hongyi and took it over. After reading it, he asked Li Hongyi to sign and put the transcript away for filing, and then he kept his eyes on Qin Qingman.
"Comrade Qin, are you here for Zhao Cai?"
Zheng Xuesong guessed Qin Qingman's purpose, and this was also the reason why he agreed to take action against Zhao Tiancheng before.
"Yes, Comrade Xuesong, is Comrade Fang Lu here? I want to see him."
Qin Qingman directly stated her ultimate goal.
"Yes, the director returned to the bureau half an hour ago and is in his office. Comrade Qin, please follow me." Zheng Xuesong didn't waste any time and led Qin Qingman directly to the director's office.
He did not ask anything on the way because he knew it was not within his job scope.
“Dudududu——”
There was a knock on the office door of the county police chief.
"Come in." Fang Lu's majestic voice came from the door.
The offices at that time were different from those in later generations. The soundproofing was a little worse. If you really wanted to discuss confidential matters, not only did you have to have guards outside the door, but you also had to speak in a low voice in the office.
This was Qin Qingman's second meeting with Fang Lu.
"Hello, Comrade Qin." Fang Lu saw Qin Qingman not only stand up and come towards him, but also extend her hand.
Fang Lu is in his forties. Perhaps because he is busy with the affairs of the Public Security Bureau, he looks older than his actual age. He has a deep "川"-shaped wrinkle between his eyebrows and is a rather serious comrade.
At this moment, he did not smile even when facing Qin Qingman, but looked serious and businesslike.
After a brief friendly handshake, Fang Lu's gaze shifted to Zheng Xuesong's face.
Zheng Xuesong turned around and left. After leaving the office, he did not go far away, but stood guard outside the door.
Qin Qingman and Fang Lu spoke very quietly, and no one knew what they talked about. Ten minutes later, the office door opened and Fang Lu let Zheng Xuesong in.
"Comrade Xuesong, there is a task that needs you to handle now." Fang Lu gave an order to Zheng Xuesong.
"Yes, Chief." Zheng Xuesong stood in front of Fang Lu with a serious face. Although he didn't know what the mission was, he was the first to express his opinion.
"Comrade Xuesong, we need you to go to Nanzhen Commune." Fang Lu explained clearly.
"Tuanjie Village, Nanzhen Qianjin Brigade?" Zheng Xuesong asked. After arresting Zhao Tiancheng, he also did a lot of preparatory work. He knew that Zhao Cai's hometown was in Nanzhen.
"Yes, you went to Unity Village, and then..."
Fang Lu was about to assign the secret mission to Zheng Xuesong. At this moment, the sound of running was heard outside the door, and at the same time, reports came from far and near, showing the urgency of the incident.
Qin Qingman and Fang Lu looked at each other and turned their gaze toward the outside of the office.
This interrupted Fang Lu's order to Zheng Xuesong, and Zheng Xuesong could only shift his gaze over.
"Director." It was Liu Wu who hurried in from outside the door.
After Liu Wu and Tang Xiangrong obtained the three lost family letters from Huang Wanqing in Hongqi Town, they immediately rushed back to the county town. They arrived at the Public Security Bureau earlier than Qin Qingman and Li Hongyi, and they had just participated in the new work of the Public Security Bureau.
"Speak." Fang Lu looked at Liu Wu seriously without saying a word.
It was obviously not an easy task for Liu Wu to rush into the director's office in this way. Fang Lu could even feel that the matter might be related to Zhao Cai.
Ever since Zhao Tiancheng was arrested, the entire county public security bureau has been waiting for Zhao to make a move.
But as time went by, the county revolutionary committee not far away did not make much movement, which was a bit strange and inconsistent with Zhao Cai's usual style of doing things.
"Director, we just got the news that Zhao left the County Revolutionary Committee half an hour ago. He left in a very secretive way. Our comrades have just confirmed that the County Revolutionary Committee dispatched a lot of vehicles just now, but none of them came to us, but left the city instead."
Liu Wu reported while panting.
"Leave the city?" Fang Lu was a little surprised. Zhao Tiancheng was with him, but Zhao didn't want to save people but instead wanted to leave the city.
No matter how I look at it, this thing doesn't seem right.
"Did you see clearly which direction you were going?" Qin Qingman, who had been in the office the whole time, did not bother to avoid suspicion and spoke directly.
Because she had a bad feeling in her heart.
"I went in the direction of Hongqi Town." Liu Wu knew Qin Qingman, so he answered directly without caring who asked the question.
Qin Qingman, Fang Lu, and Zheng Xuesong immediately became serious.
"Something's wrong. What is Zhao Cai going to do?"
Fang Lu paced in the office, his brows furrowed tightly together, the shape of his eyebrows almost pinching a fly to death.
"Could it be about the trouble of going to Hongqi Farm to find Comrade Huang Wanqing?" Zheng Xuesong guessed.
"There is not only Comrade Huang Wanqing at the Red Flag Farm, but Gao Yefang is also here. Is it possible that Zhao Cai is not only looking for trouble with Comrade Huang Wanqing, but is also targeting Gao Yefang?" Liu Wu also joined the discussion.
After a sudden interrogation, Zhao Tiancheng confessed a lot of things.
But so far, they have no evidence that Zhao Cai has violated the law.
"Zhao Cai's target may not only be Huang Wanqing, but also me and Wei Ling." Qin Qingman was the first to react because she suddenly remembered the gold jewellery that Huang Wanqing gave her.
Gao Yefang formed an alliance with Zhao Cai. It was said that the capital had already contacted Zhao Cai. If the people in the capital gave the task to Zhao Cai, then Zhao Cai might really take the risk after Zhao Tiancheng was arrested.
"Come here, prepare the car, we will go to Kaoshantun immediately."
Fang Lu was the first to understand Qin Qingman's words and immediately gave the order.
At this time, don't give Zheng Xuesong any tasks yet, he has to go to Kaoshantun first.
Even though they are the county public security bureau, each township has a public security commissioner sent out. At this time, there are not many public security police officers in the bureau. The county revolutionary committee has dispatched a lot of vehicles, which means there are a lot of people. If they want to stop Zhao Cai, they will definitely have a lot of people.
Zheng Xuesong knew the seriousness of the situation when Fang Lu gave the order, and immediately took Liu Wu with him and left.
"Zhao Cai is a very vicious person. He must be removed."
There were no outsiders in the office, and Fang Lu couldn't help but whisper to Qin Qingman that he had witnessed the establishment of a special unit like the Revolutionary Committee, and had also seen with his own eyes how many people had been tortured in this catastrophe.
To put it bluntly, he could only watch some of his relatives and friends suffer in this catastrophe, so he immediately agreed to help after hearing Qin Qingman's plan.
"Comrade Fang Lu, Zhao Cai is absolutely courting his own destruction."
Qin Qingman's expression was also very serious.
She knew that Zhao Cai was making such a fuss and heading to Kaoshantun just to strike first. At this moment, Chuchu was the only child at home, and Zhao Cai and his gang would definitely scare the child.
"I'll call the xxx division headquarters and ask them to head to Kaoshantun as soon as possible."
Fang Lu made a decisive decision.
"Thank you."
Qin Qingman knew that Fang Lu was protecting herself and Wei Ling, and she owed Fang Lu a favor.
"Don't be so formal with me. It's us who have failed to fulfill our responsibilities." Fang Lu answered Qin Qingman's words and then made the call.
The call was transferred several times before it was transferred to the XXX Division Headquarters.
After arriving at the division headquarters, I was transferred by the operator to the office of the division commander Wang Chengping.
Wang Chengping happened to be in the office at the time. When he heard the message from Fang Lu, he almost smashed the microphone in his hand. "Old Fang, don't worry, I will send people to Kaoshantun right away. If you dare to use those crooked tricks on our comrades, I will see how many brains this Zhao has today."
When Wang Chengping heard that Zhao Cai dared to attack Wei Ling's rear, he was really furious.
After hanging up the phone, he took people to Kaoshantun.
The division headquarters is close to Kaoshantun, so it won't take much time to get there. However, Zhao knew Qin Qingman's background but still dared to do this. She must have been well prepared, and maybe she has already arrived in Kaoshantun.
In Kaoshan Village, after seeing Qin Qingman off to work, Chuchu led a group of children in the village to hunt in the back mountain.
How could a bunch of tiny kids hunt? All they relied on was the wolf cub, Dudu.
The children are of different ages. The oldest is no more than seven or eight years old, and the youngest is Gungun, who is only three years old.
A group of children rushed into the back mountain as if they were playing.
The back mountain is wide and big, with few trees. The place closest to the village is the village’s favorite ice skating venue in winter. That place is a small gentle slope, which becomes bare in winter without any trees.
As soon as the ice and snow formed, the entire gentle slope became extremely slippery.
Both adults and children like to bring a small stool from home to use as a ramp. Turn the stool over so that the surface touches the ground and people sit on it. No one needs to push. Just a little effort with your feet will allow you to slide down the ramp.
Because the gentle slope is long, gentle and safe, it is the favorite activity venue for the people of Kaoshantun in winter.
At least when Chuchu and her friends arrived, there were still a few teenagers skating on the gentle slope.
"Sanmu, Chuchu, where are you going?"
The leading boy’s nickname is Dayang, he is twelve years old this year. He usually thinks Chuchu and the others are too young and doesn’t play with them much. But today, seeing that these kids looked strange, Dayang became curious.
"Hunting, let's go hunting."
Miki wanted to show the world that he could hunt.
"You can hunt?" Dayang and his friends were stunned.
Those who were sitting on the stools stopped skating and just looked at Chuchu and the other kids in shock and disbelief.
Who could not see such an obvious look? Seeing that they were being suspected, Chuchu and the other children were not satisfied at all. Several children said at the same time: "With Dudu here, we will definitely be able to catch the prey."
Although the children in the village have never seen Dudu’s bravery, they have seen the powerful hunting dogs in the village.
The hunting dogs of Uncle Yongfu's family in the village can catch prey by themselves, so the wolf cub Dudu can certainly do it too.
Chu Chu didn't expect that everyone had so much trust in the wolf cub, and couldn't help but look at the wolf cub under her feet.
Because it eats meat and drinks goat's milk every day, the wolf cub grows very well. It is a plump ball, and it is full of meat when it is held in the arms. But because it eats too well, this guy doesn't seem to have grown much. Its four paws are short, and it feels like it has been half a head shorter when standing in the snow.
Can a wolf cub like this really catch prey?
Chu Chu felt a little guilty, and he even wanted to say a few polite words on behalf of the wolf cub. However, before he could speak, Dayang gave up skating and came over with a few friends.
"If Dudu can catch enemies, he can definitely hunt."
The Ocean boys looked seriously at the wolf cubs jumping happily on the snow, and nodded seriously.
Although they did not personally witness how the wolf cub assisted Qin Qingman in catching the bad guys last time, many elders in the family witnessed it with their own eyes, and the teenagers still had great confidence in the wolf cub's strength.
"Right, I said that with Dudu here with us, we will definitely get to eat meat today."
The kids at Miki's place were happy.
"Add us, we want to go hunting too."
Several teenagers from Dayang looked at Chuchu with burning eyes. The wolf cub was the wolf of Chuchu's family, so if they wanted to participate, they definitely needed Chuchu's consent. This was also the first time that several teenagers expressed their desire to play with a group of little brats.
Sanmu's group of kids were proud and happy, and they all looked at Chuchu.
Chuchu was a little embarrassed, "I don't know if Dudu can catch the prey. It's still too young and has never hunted before." He said this in advance. If the final result is not satisfactory, everyone should not blame the wolf cub.
"Let's give it a try."
Miki and all the children looked at Chuchu eagerly.
They have more confidence in the wolf cub than its master Chuchu does.
"Okay, then let's go hunting, but everyone has to be careful and don't make too much noise, otherwise it will affect Dudu's judgment." This was the first time Chuchu took the wolf cubs to hunt in the mountains. He didn't understand a lot, but he also knew that hearing was the first key to hunting.
"Okay, let's be careful and try not to make any noise."
Dayang and the other children nodded in agreement.
Seeing that no one had any intention of retreating, Chu Chu could only look at the mountain behind and choose a direction to move forward.
He had never hunted before and didn't know much about it, but he had gone up the mountain with the adults in the village in the summer and autumn, so he had some experience climbing mountains. With this little experience, he led a group of children up the mountain.
They didn't have far to go anyway, so they just wandered around the back mountain.
The mountain behind Kaoshantun is huge, and the further you go in, the more mountains there are. When the group of children entered the mountain, they were instantly made to look like tiny ants in comparison to the mountains.
The few young people who were following Chuchu and the others from a distance looked at the group of children who had entered the back mountain with serious expressions.
"What should we do? Should we follow them or not?" Li Xing asked his companion. To be honest, he was a little hungry. He had just finished running early in the morning and had not eaten anything. Going into the mountains was strenuous work.
It takes a lot of courage to go into the mountains with a growling stomach.
"Let's go in. Those kids have all gone in. If we don't go in, what if something happens to them?" The person who spoke was called Jiang Hao. He was the child of Jiang Linshan's eldest brother, and was somewhat related to Chu Chu.
Li Xing looked at the other three companions again, and seeing that everyone nodded, he could only nod and follow Chuchu and the other children.
"When Chuchu and the others catch prey, we must share it. Otherwise it will be too uneconomical. I haven't had any food today." Li Xing couldn't help but said with a smile. He was trying to have fun in misery. He didn't believe that Chuchu and the others could catch prey.
"It has to be divided. We have protected them."
Jiang Hao and several others also laughed.
They touched their bulging bellies and followed the child.
Going up the mountain in this season is the most torturous, because the mountain is blocked by heavy snow and it is extremely desolate. It is impossible to find anything to fill your stomach, unless you hunt prey. However, the back mountain is close to the mountain village, so the possibility of hunting prey is very low.
These young people just played house with a group of children.
They believed that if they failed to catch any prey, the children would surely go home soon. Being hungry was very uncomfortable and no one could hold on.
Originally, Chuchu just wanted to take her friends for a walk around the back mountain, but as more people came, everyone looked serious, which made the wolf cub serious as well, and their running steps were no longer just for fun.
Wolves are born into the jungle.
As the atmosphere around it became quiet and serious, it began to take cautious steps and its round head began to move.
He stopped from time to time and listened carefully, as if he could hear sounds that Chuchu and the others could not hear.
In this way, everyone's attention will be more focused.
Everyone spontaneously followed the wolf cub, and the snow on the ground turned from hard to soft.
The reason why the snow is hard is because many people have stepped on it and compacted it. The reason why the snow is soft is different. It is because not many people are walking on it and the snow still looks like it has just fallen on the ground.
At this time everyone could see the difference in the wolf cub.
When people step on the fluffy snow, they will sink into it due to their own gravity, but this is not the case with the wolf cub.
Seeing the chubby figure stepping on the snow without being affected at all, it seemed that the snow under his feet was still very hard. Chuchu, who was following behind the wolf cub, followed the wolf cub's feet with every step.
The wolf cub was stepping on the unsinkable snow, but Chu Chu would sink half a leg into it as soon as he stepped on it.
You can see how big the gap is.
In this way, the children were more motivated to catch prey and trusted the wolf cub more. So, led by the wolf cub, the children went deep into the back mountain.
At this point, the younger children had already been carried on the backs of the older children. Only in this way would they not hinder the team's progress. Li Xing and his friends also joined Chuchu and her group of children.
The children were actually very happy to see the extra adults.
They were not worried about the divided prey, but were happy that with the company of adults, today's hunt would be safer.
Li Xing and Jiang Hao's brows furrowed deeper and deeper as the team moved forward.
By this time they had already entered the depths of the back mountain. Such a long distance was beyond their psychological range. If they had not seen the wolf cub's relaxed yet serious expression, they would have stopped the team long ago.
Li Xing paused for a moment and turned his gaze towards Jiang Hao.
He thought that they could call the children to stop, because if they went any further, they would really enter the mountains. Entering the mountains was a very dangerous thing, and anything could happen in the mountains. If they really encountered danger, they would not be able to protect so many children.
Just when Li Xing was about to call out to Chuchu and Sanmu who were walking in front.
The wolf cub who had been leading the group suddenly jumped out at an extremely fast speed that was totally inconsistent with his body size and disappeared from everyone's sight. Before anyone could even scream, the wolf cub appeared again.
The wolf cub reappeared with a struggling prey in its mouth.
"It's...it's a rabbit, a snow rabbit!"
Sanmu followed Chuchu and immediately recognized the prey in the wolf cub's mouth. He also ran towards the wolf cub with Chuchu.
The wolf cubs were not yet adults, and the snow rabbits were too big, so their struggle was quite intense. They were worried that the prey would be lost to the wolves, so they rushed to help.
Besides, the snow hare was very fat after a winter of hibernation and overeating, and the wolf cub could not lift it in his mouth and it was difficult to drag it.
"Holy crap! They actually caught something!"
Li Xing was so shocked that he couldn't help but utter a traditional Chinese Zen mantra.
"Go and help, don't let the snow rabbit run away." After saying this, Jiang Hao and several of his companions stretched out their long legs and rushed towards the wolf cub.
Chuchu and Sanmu were the first to hold down the snow rabbit.
"So fat and furry, it feels so comfortable to touch." Miki held the snow rabbit tightly, a look of excited surprise on his face.
He knew that Dudu could do it.
"Dudu, good job." Seeing that Sanmu had held down the rabbit and other companions came to help, Chuchu simply let go of her hands that were pressing on the rabbit and instead picked up the wolf cub and rubbed it.
Although there is only a rabbit at the moment, he believes that the wolf cub will be able to catch more prey in the future.
As long as he can catch the prey, he won't be considered to be deceiving his friends.
"Let me touch it, let me touch it." Many children had never touched a living rabbit before, and they couldn't help but gather around Miki and stretched out their greedy little hands. Everyone's face was flushed with excitement.
It was worth it that they ran so far, they finally caught the prey.
"Don't rush, Sanmu, don't let up, don't let the rabbit run away, wait for me, I'll find a tree bark to tie up the rabbit." Jiang Hao arrived first and quickly reminded the group of excited children.
"Got it. Everyone, don't rush to grab them. I'll tie up the rabbits and touch them one by one."
Miki held the rabbit tightly with his body weight, not daring to relax at all.
"Dudu, go catch some more rabbits."
Chu Chu hugged the wolf cub tightly and then put it on the ground.
As soon as he made this sound, silence returned to the scene immediately. Everyone knew that wolf cubs rely on hearing to catch prey.
Facing countless pairs of piercing and eager gazes, the wolf cub straightened his chest on the snow, his round eyes full of pride. At this moment, he had a bit of the style of his father Xiao Hei.
"Dudu, go catch a rabbit."
Chuchu stretched out her little hand and gently pushed the wolf cub's chubby butt. When the little butt was pushed, it was full of flesh, firm and elastic, and the feeling was more nostalgic than touching a snow rabbit.
One rabbit is not enough for so many people, so other prey must be hunted.
The wolf cub doesn't understand human language, but it grew up with Chuchu. The two guys eat and sleep together, and have long formed a tacit understanding.
After Chuchu's push, the wolf cub tilted his head to look at the rabbit that Sanmu and the others were holding, and understood.
It realized what was happening and turned to look around.
This is a small valley with not many trees around, but you can vaguely see some branches sticking out from under the snow. The snow should be slowly melting with the change of seasons.
Some dead grass that had been buried under the snow has begun to show its head.
The wolf cub stared with its round eyes and looked around, its ears trembling slightly.
The vibration is very slight, but it is still there.
Then the wolf cub disappeared again.
This time everyone was prepared. Li Xing and Dayang followed the wolf cub.
One of the two was an adult, and the other was a teenager. They had long legs, great strength, and could run fast. When they saw the wolf cub, they were shocked.
A silly roe deer.
This silly roe deer was not big, but no matter how big it was, its weight was much heavier than the wolf cub, so the wolf cub failed to knock down its prey. Instead, it jumped up and bit the roe deer's neck hard.
The roe deer was frightened and immediately rushed around in panic.
Fortunately, the wolf cub was quite heavy, which actually affected the running speed of the silly roe deer. This created an opportunity for Li Xing and Dayang who followed behind, and the two of them rushed over directly.
An adult, a teenager, and a wolf cub, the silly roe deer was knocked to the ground directly.
"Wow, Dudu is amazing!"
The other children followed and everyone cheered excitedly as they watched the scene.
The roe deer is not yet an adult, and its weight does not reach the 50 or 60 kilograms of an adult, but after skinning and removing the internal organs, it is definitely worth more than 30 kilograms of meat. With so much meat, plus a snow rabbit, it is more than enough for the group of people present to eat.
Li Xing was so excited that his face turned red, and his hands were tightly around the neck of the silly roe deer. As time passed, the silly roe deer finally took its last breath. (Hunting activities permitted in our country in special areas)
“Huff—”
The silly roe deer died, and everyone couldn't help but breathe heavily.
Just now, everyone was extremely nervous and excited, especially the few people who were suppressing the silly roe deer. They really used all their strength to kill the silly roe deer.
"Going home?"
Li Xing and everyone else looked at Chu Chu.
All the prey were killed by the wolf cubs, and it can be said that only Chuchu has the right to distribute them. If Chuchu wants to take the prey home, everyone will definitely not be able to eat meat today, but no one will complain.
Because that's the hunting rule here.
The most likely scenario is that the Qin family will hand over half of the prey to the village, and then every household will share the soup.
There were too few prey and too many people in the village, so on average each family would only get one bite of meat.
Chuchu looked at the prey on the ground, then looked at all the people who were looking at her with bright eyes, picked up the exhausted wolf cub and said firmly: "I told you before, we hunt for meat, we won't go back, we'll just grill it on the mountain."
If the prey is not brought back to the village, they can indeed keep it all.
"Really...really grilling and eating meat?"
Chuchu's words did not cause screams or laughter. After a while, someone asked this question in a weak voice.
Because everyone knows that barbecuing on the mountain means everyone can eat a lot of meat today.
"Yes, let's roast it. Let's quickly pick a place with water and dry firewood." Chuchu smiled at everyone.
Under Qin Qingman's education, when there was no shortage of food at home, he could share with his friends.
"Ah! That's great. Eat meat. Eat meat with big mouthfuls."
Miki was the first person to jump up, followed by more children jumping and dancing on the snow. At this moment, all the fatigue in everyone disappeared, and everyone was happy that their stomachs would soon be filled.
"Let's go back. Do you remember there is a stream where we came from? The water there is running and not completely frozen. It is most convenient to collect firewood for barbecue nearby." Li Xing found the most ideal place for barbecue after a quick thought.
"Just go there!"
Chuchu waved her little hand and walked back holding the wolf cub.
The wolf cub had exhausted all his strength in catching the silly roe deer that was much heavier than himself. Now he was lying in Chuchu's arms, closing his eyes and falling asleep contentedly. He needed to replenish his energy first.
Ten minutes later, a fire appeared on the empty ground.
The younger children each found a tree stump to use as a stool and sat around the warm campfire to warm themselves. Li Xing and the other adults were collecting the prey, and Dayang and the teenagers were helping.
"Eat meat, haha——"
The youngest GunGun sat next to ChuChu and watched Li Xing and the others packing up their prey, smiling so hard that his eyes narrowed.
"Whoever is quick, go back to the village and tell the adults that it's time for dinner, so that the family members won't be able to find the child and think something has happened."
Jiang Hao, who was collecting the prey, suddenly stopped, looked up and said something.
They had originally thought that they would be able to go home before dinner, so they had not thought of telling their families. Now, if they were to have a barbecue on the mountain, it would be impossible for everyone to go home on time. If no one went home, their families would be worried.
"You are the fastest among us. Go back and notify every household and bring some salt with you." Li Xing looked at Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao was stunned for a moment, then nodded, handed the prey in his hand to Li Xing, and began to wash his hands with the accumulated snow.
After washing, he went straight down the mountain.
After Jiang Hao left, Li Xing and his friends continued to pack up the prey.
They were all children from the mountains. They had learned how to collect prey since they were young and carried a knife with them. They simply cut up the prey perfectly. Neither the skin of the snow rabbit nor the roe deer was damaged.
Leather is a good thing to them, and no one will waste it.
"Chuchu, we will take these two leathers back later. Ask your sister to take them to Uncle Yongfu to help with the tanning. Uncle Yongfu's skill in tanning leather is the best in our village." Li Xing instructed Chuchu.
"Okay." Chu Chu already knew the quality of the leather and did not refuse.
Both prey were killed by his wolf cubs, and according to hunting regulations, the skins indeed belonged to their family.
Everyone worked very quickly, and soon all the meat was roasted on the campfire. As the flames licked the meat, the aroma of the meat began to spread.
Li Xing led his men to dig a pit and bury the inedible things, and then sat by the campfire with the children waiting for meat to eat.
The fierce fire slowly forced the fat out of the meat, which eventually dripped onto the bonfire below. With the addition of fat, the bonfire became even more intense, and all the meat slowly turned golden over time.
Very tempting.
"Gurgle, gurgle—" The scene was filled with the urgent sound of rumbling stomachs.
