Lu Qingyang carried the snake and walked briskly towards the team, and actually exchanged it for three work points.

In this labor-oriented era, villagers in the brigade often went into the mountains to hunt, and the work points were converted according to the size and value of the prey.

When he was carrying the snake to exchange, he saw Uncle Tie carrying a wild rabbit to exchange for work points.

As soon as he saw Lu Qingyang, he greeted him, "Little Lu, I didn't expect you to have this skill. You can even subdue a snake. You are really a young man to be feared!"

Lu Qingyang felt a little embarrassed by the compliment, after all, the achievement of catching the snake was not his.

"You once said that Shen Mo lived with her grandmother? Their life should be better, right?"

"Yes, but she is quite hardworking, and the work points she earns are enough to exchange for food. But her grandfather, Old Shen, is old and in poor health now, and he can't do the work any more. It's pitiful to say that the grandfather and grandson depend on each other for survival."

Lu Qingyang probably understood it, so she took the bowl back every time, and she must have brought it back to her grandfather to eat.

"Indeed, at such a young age, you have to shoulder such a heavy responsibility."

"She's almost 17 or 18 years old now, old enough to get married, but I'm afraid no one would dare to marry her."

Uncle Tie also knew that Shen Mo's appetite was something that most people could cultivate.

Lu Qingyang thought of Shen Mo's bean sprout-like body. She was actually only seventeen or eighteen years old. She was really well developed.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he had to hurry back up the mountain as he had other plans today.

I realized that it was time for lunch again, so I took out the lunch box hanging in my bag. Inside was the leftover radish soup from yesterday, with a thin layer of ice on top.

The temperature has dropped below zero so quickly. It seems that it is far from minus several dozen degrees.

It really feels like it's getting colder and colder. When it snows, I don't know what it will be like when it's frozen.

Lu Qingyang heated up yesterday's carrot soup, threw a few sweet potatoes into the campfire, and had a quick lunch.

Before Hu Shengli prepared to hunt, he came to Jiang Wanwan and made a promise.

"Wanwan, what kind of game do you want to eat today? Pheasant or rabbit? I promise to hunt one for you."

Jiang Wanwan nodded shyly, "Waiting for your good news."

Liu Chunhua said enviously: "Wanwan, Hu Shengli is so nice to you. When will I meet someone who is so nice to me?"

“You will definitely encounter it.”

Jiang Wanwan said this, but she felt disgusted in her heart.

With her looks, if she wants to win the favor of men, she should just work honestly!

After all, she only needs to beckon her finger to make men willing to work for her.

The educated youth had gone out with their homemade guns to shoot squirrels, and Sun Xiangqian also grabbed one. Seeing that several old educated youth had killed the prey, he also became eager to try.

"Qingyang, let's go hunt pine trees, shall we? I always eat the prey I catch, but this time I'll show you how good I am."

"OK."

Lu Qingyang just happened to think of a plan.

He checked the traps he had set yesterday. A small squirrel had fallen into one of the small traps, still alive and kicking.

He walked to the tree with the wasp's nest and looked at it thoughtfully for a while.

"Qingyang, what are you doing? Come on, go a little further inside."

Unexpectedly, Sun Xiangqian's shooting skills were not wrong, and he shot a squirrel. He excitedly picked up the squirrel and said, "It's just too small, but it's big enough to get stuck in the teeth."

"Come on, it's wrong to achieve it. My cousins ​​say they are good at shooting, but they can't hit anything."

Lu Qingyang said this deliberately so that the two people next to him could hear it.

Hu Shengli had a quick temper to begin with, and after hearing what he said, he really felt relieved.

Coupled with what happened in the morning, he looked down on Shanglu Qingyang even more.

"So you're pretty good. Why don't you kill a squirrel for me? I'll be impressed by you!"

"That's right." Lu Dazhi was certain that Lu Qingyang didn't know how to use a gun at all. He had been timid since he was a child and had never even touched a gun, let alone fired one.

"Lu Qingyang, come and compete with us!"

"Okay, let's compete! Who is afraid of who?"

Sun Xiangqian shook his head worriedly, "Qingyang, do you really know how to shoot with a clay gun? You asked me to teach you yesterday."

He would, but the point today was not to hit the pine tree, but to... teach those two a lesson.

Lu Qingyang picked up the gun pretentiously and said, "Let's try it."

So the two of them started walking in the woods with their rifles. Lu Qingyang saw a few squirrels in the trees, but he didn't shoot at them.

Hu Shengli fired several shots but didn't hit any, and he became a little impatient.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Qingyang deliberately released the live squirrel in his bag under the tree where the wasp's nest was.

Sure enough, the squirrel immediately climbed up the tree trunk.

"Squirrel, here's the squirrel!"

As expected, everyone's attention was drawn here, especially Hu Shengli, who, seeing so many female educated youths watching, expressed his desire to the peak.

"Where?"

Lu Dazhi pointed to the tree behind him and said, "I saw it. It's on that tree."

Lu Qingyang casually fired a shot and sighed in frustration, "I didn't hit it."

"Tsk, you still want to compete with me, what do you think you are? Just look at my shooting skills!"

Hu Shengli was aiming at the squirrel on the pine tree and didn't notice that there was a wasp's nest a little higher up.

Lu Dazhi was still making a fuss, "Shengli, you must teach him a lesson, let that ignorant kid know what it means to be powerful."

The squirrel had an injury on its leg, so it was slow to climb the tree.

Sun Xiangqian was still worried about Lu Qingyang, "Qingyang, is this easy? Why did you give it to them?"

Lu Qingyang then pulled Sun forward a little further away, until he felt the distance was far enough, and then he stopped.

"Look at what's on that tree?"

Sun looked forward for a while until he heard gunshots and was startled.

He saw something fall from the tree, but it was definitely a squirrel.

Lu Qingyang yelled, "Oh no, this distance is still far enough, let's move further away."

He originally thought that the gunshot would scare the hornets, but who knew that Hu Shengli was so powerful that he actually knocked down the hornet's nest directly.

The wasp sting was just a joke, and the two heard a cry for help from behind.

Lu Qingyang suppressed his laughter and spread his hands, "I admit that I lost."

Sun Xiangqian finally responded. It turned out that he had already known about the hornet's nest in the book. This was just a trap.

"Qingyang, you are so bad."

Lu Qingyang returned to the camp as if nothing had happened, ready to continue his logging work.

More than an hour later, Han Zhiqiang finally realized what was going on. "Where are those two people? Where are Lu Dazhi and Hu Shengli? Where did they go to slack off?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads, bewildered. "I know, I didn't see them just now."

"I just saw them hunting squirrels there."

The man tapped his finger and led the way to the distant woods.

Everyone looked over there, and suddenly saw two wet figures stumbling back, looking very wolfish.

Not only that, the two men's heads were swollen like pigs' heads due to being stung by the wasps, and Lu Dazhi's mouth was even stung by a wasp, which was extremely funny.

To avoid the hornets, the two men jumped into a pond in the mountains with water plants hanging on their bodies.

A sudden gust of cold wind blew past, bringing with it a bone-chilling chill, and the two of them were almost frozen into ice.

Han Zhiqiang was angry and amused at the same time, "Why did you do this? You stirred up a hornet's nest?"

Hu Shengli nodded with a look of grievance. He had never been so rude before, especially in front of the girl he was pursuing.

"Quick, go to the fire and warm yourself up!"

Although Han Zhiqiang was angry, he was also afraid that something might happen to the two of them. If they were frozen to death, he would be held accountable.

Lu Dazhi covered his swollen mouth, and when he saw Lu Qingyang's half-smile, he started to yell exaggeratedly, "Damn him! Damn him!"
