"I'm not asking you to steal."
Ye Beiping beckoned to Hou Baolin and Wu Di, then approached and said, "I mean, if we're free tonight, let's borrow the guns and go into the mountains to see if we can get some wild game to eat."
Wild game?
Hou Baolin and Wu Di exchanged a glance and immediately shook their heads vigorously, like rattles.
"What's wrong?" Ye Beiping asked, puzzled by their expressions.
Are there any demons or monsters in the mountains?
The two of them had such strange expressions.
Hou Baolin sighed and said, "We don't know how to use guns, so even if we took them out, it would be useless."
“Exactly, do you think you can use a gun in Beiping?” Wu Di chimed in.
"Cough cough."
Ye Beiping coughed a few times, straightened his clothes, and said in a serious manner, "I have to say, I really do know how to shoot."
"cut."
Hou Baolin and Wu Di scoffed disdainfully.
"Beiping, we grew up together. Do you think we don't know your capabilities?"
"Yes, Beiping, how come we didn't know you could shoot? Don't cause trouble, you can kill people if you don't use a gun properly."
Seeing that the two didn't believe him, Ye Beiping rolled his eyes for a while and began to threaten, "Are you two still brothers? You're not even willing to do this little thing, what kind of brothers are you?"
This tactic was completely taught to me by those good-for-nothing friends from my past life.
Not going to drink?
Are you even a brother anymore? If you don't go, our friendship is over.
Not going clubbing?
Are you even my brother anymore? I'm blocking you, we have nothing in common anymore.
Not going to pick up girls?
Are you even my brother anymore? Goodbye, goodbye, don't look for me again.
...
As he listened to the threatening words, Ye Beiping's lips curled into a smile as he looked at Hou Baolin and Wu Di.
Upon hearing this, the two began to hesitate.
If you're loyal, you should go.
Wu Di gently touched Hou Baolin's hand holding the fishing rod: "Monkey, why don't you go? We can't let Beiping go alone. It'll be good to have more people to look after each other, right?"
"That's right, if we manage to hunt a big wild boar, you won't get any points if you don't go." Ye Beiping kept stirring things up, since they were short of meat, they would use pork as bait.
"Wild boar?"
Wu Di and Hou Baolin also unconsciously swallowed.
It's been so long since we've eaten pork. Even if one is a village chief and the other a militia company commander, it's considered good if their family can eat meat once a month.
Immediately, Wu Di, that fatso, was the first to raise his hand and say, "I agree with Beiping's opinion."
"You..." Hou Baolin was furious. He looked at Ye Beiping, then thought of the marbled pork, swallowed hard, and said, "Fine, then it's settled. Tonight, when we go to my dad's to steal the gun, no one can tell. After we're done, we have to put it back. I need two legs to shoot a wild boar."
"Yes, yes, I want a pig's head and a leg." Wu Di also started fantasizing about dividing the spoils.
Ye Beiping found the two men's behavior somewhat amusing. They hadn't even seen a wild boar yet, and they were already dividing up the spoils. Perhaps that was just how impulsive young men were.
"Okay, it's a deal."
The three of them spent the whole afternoon fishing by the lake, but they didn't catch a single fish.
Left with no other option, they had to head back home.
Fortunately, Ye Beiping did not come away empty-handed; he caught a crucian carp the size of two palms with his bare hands, which meant he had dinner sorted.
When she got home, Ye Xiaoxin couldn't wait to rush up and stick her head into the bucket.
"A fish? You actually caught one?"
Seeing Ye Xiaoxin's excited expression, Ye Beiping raised an eyebrow and said, "Of course, I dove into the lake and stunned the fish with my bare hands, then caught it directly."
"real?"
Ye Xiaoxin was very surprised and kept looking Ye Beiping up and down, wondering if her younger brother had been traumatized by something while she and her mother had been at her maternal grandparents' house for a few days.
If it's because of Su Xinyi, she's been here for over two years, and Ye Beiping has never acted like this before.
Ye Beiping, on the other hand, didn't have so many questions. He simply tossed the fish to Ye Xiaoxin and said, "Sister, hurry up and make dinner. I still have to go into the mountains tonight."
Ye Xiaoxin, carrying the bucket, frowned slightly in surprise: "We still have to go into the mountains?"
"Ye Beiping, let me tell you, going into the mountains is no joke. You were lucky enough to get some meat yesterday, but you don't get that kind of luck every day. Catching some fish is fine, but if something really happens, I won't be able to explain it to Mom."
Hearing his sister's words of guidance and concern, Ye Beiping felt a warmth in his heart.
I haven't been educated by my elders for at least several decades.
"Sis, don't worry. Fatty and Monkey are coming with me tonight. If something happens, I won't be the first one to get hurt. If there really is a tiger, Fatty can probably feed it all by himself. I'll be able to run back."
Ye Xiaoxin was relieved by his half-joking words and went to the kitchen with the bucket: "Okay, I'll make you dinner now."
Tonight's dinner isn't noodles, it's rice.
Two vegetable dishes plus a braised fish, it smells delicious.
After working all morning and swimming for more than an hour in the afternoon, Ye Beiping was indeed a little hungry.
After quickly finishing two bowls of rice, he found another plate and took the entire top half of the fish head away.
Seeing this, Ye Xiaoxin pouted and said, "You...you should come back soon."
After thinking about it, she decided to keep quiet.
Girls definitely need to be coaxed. At most, I, as the older sister, will suffer a little and eat less fish and meat.
"Okay, sister." Ye Beiping picked up the fish and hurried to the educated youth settlement.
When Ye Beiping arrived at the courtyard of the educated youth settlement, he hesitated for a long time before entering the courtyard. He looked around, hoping to wait for someone he knew to come out and bring the fish in.
