Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

Soon, his wife heated up the leftover rice in the pot.

Yue Feng ate a bowl of porridge to tide him over, and then ate some meat dishes, but didn't eat any dry food or staple food.

After finishing his meal, Yue Feng said goodbye to his wife and then walked back to the old house.

It's almost ten o'clock, and the lights in the north room are still on.

Nine times out of ten, it was when Xiao Tao came home that the dog in the yard barked. His mother heard the noise and turned on the light, afraid that her son would come over and she wouldn't be able to see him in the dark.

Yue Feng gently pushed the courtyard gate, which was bolted. He didn't call out, but reached into a groove on one side and found the old-fashioned key to the wooden lock. He then easily unlocked the gate.

With a creak, Yue Feng pushed open the door and entered the courtyard.

The next second, I saw the lights in the room where my parents were sleeping turn on.

"Xiaofeng, you're back?" Mom, wearing a coat, quickly pushed open the door to greet him.

"Mom! I got off the train this evening. Something came up at the restaurant and I was delayed. I just got back!" Yue Feng replied.

"Come on in! Your dad's still awake!" Mom turned and went inside, but the door was open.

"I won't go inside. It's getting late. You guys go to sleep and come over early tomorrow morning!" Yue Feng said.

"Just come in! Your dad and I have something important to discuss with you!"

"Oh, okay!" Upon hearing that there was something important to discuss, Yue Feng immediately scurried into the house.

Inside the room, Yue Lei climbed out of bed, sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) wearing a close-fitting tank top, and smoked a cigarette: "This trip went quite smoothly?"

"Yeah, it's alright! Jinlong helped me find a house, and the paperwork for one was done smoothly. The other two are also going through the process. I'll transfer the money later, and then we can just wait!" Yue Feng said truthfully.

"There's something I've been keeping an eye on with your mom, Xiao Na's dad, and I for days. We didn't make any moves until you came back! Now that you're back, we need to let you know as soon as possible!"

Yue Feng was slightly taken aback: "What's wrong?"

"There's something fishy going on at the village's mountain produce purchasing and sales station, where Li Yinhua and her husband are in charge of buying and selling the goods!"

"Huh? What's going on?"

Hearing this, Yue Feng scratched his head. He had only been gone for a few days, so why were there so many problems? Even the village's purchasing and sales point was having issues.

“There were obvious discrepancies in the information Li Yinhua reconciled every day, which were included in the losses. A small portion of substandard products were mixed in, and inferior products were passed off as superior ones!”

If it were just this minor issue, it wouldn't be worth telling you. The more serious problem is that Li Yinhua's brother is now buying wild vegetables and other goods from elsewhere and delivering them to our supply and marketing cooperative!

Upon hearing his father's explanation, Yue Feng immediately frowned.

The business of this mountain product purchasing and sales point does not leave any room for profit manipulation by middlemen. Why don't the mountain people sell their products themselves at higher prices, instead of letting the other party make a profit from the difference?
"Why don't those villagers who gather mountain products come to our supply and marketing outlets to sell their goods themselves, willingly letting others profit from the difference?" Yue Feng asked, frowning.

"I've inquired about it. Li Yinhua's younger brother, Li Chunlin, seems to have joined an organization called the 'Kitchen Knife Team' and become its leader."

They gathered and colluded with many idle people, and designated the area around the back mountain of their village as their own territory.

When the mountain people come into the mountains to collect wild produce, you have to sell it to them! If anyone refuses, they'll be beaten and kicked!

Li Erlengzi, who lived at the entrance of Lijiazhuang Village, was not convinced and had his head broken!
This could be a big deal or a small one, Xiaofeng, you have to take it seriously! If people spread rumors that you were the one who instigated this, all the reputation you've worked so hard to build will be ruined!

Upon hearing this, Yue Feng, who hadn't taken it too seriously at first, immediately frowned.

It's the cleaver team again!
This organization, which seems to have suddenly appeared, has an incredibly long reach.

So, Yue Feng's original intention was to establish a purchasing and sales point for mountain products to help farmers, but it turned into an accomplice in their exploitation of the local produce for profit.

"Okay, Dad, don't get upset. I understand. I'll start dealing with things one by one tomorrow morning!" Yue Feng said gently.

"I feel there's something fishy about this. If you're worried, you can ask around among your friends and then deal with it!"
"They dare to be so brazen, they must have powerful backers. Don't offend people we can't afford to mess with!" Mom chimed in from the side.

Yue Feng: "Don't worry, Mom, I know what I'm doing! You two get some rest, we'll talk about other things tomorrow!"

Mom nodded: "Okay, then you can go back now. Xiao Na is scared to be home alone, so I've been sleeping with her for the past few days!"

"gone!"

……

Yue Feng turned off the lights in the outer room and then locked the courtyard gate.

He was in a good mood when he first came to the old house, but now he felt a little heavy-hearted.

Two seemingly insignificant things turned out to be the work of a group of people stirring up trouble.

From the information he had gathered earlier, Yue Feng knew that Luo Dapao had also taken his friends to a restaurant for a meal some time ago.

This indicates that their group existed even earlier than they have now begun to emerge and establish themselves.

However, he had no reputation before and has only recently started to emerge.

This detail is quite intriguing.

In the past, when public security was poor, there were similar gangs and organizations, but they were all limited to specific individuals and industries.

Apart from the banditry of the past, they generally do not harm ordinary villagers.

Now, things have gotten really bad. First, these people caused trouble in the restaurant to make their presence known and disrupt the restaurant's operations. Then, they recruited people and tried to take a cut of the purchase price of the mountain products.

They've really gone after me, trying to stir up trouble. They've got quite the appetite.

On the way back, Yue Feng pondered the matter the whole way, feeling as if he had overlooked some details.

When we got back to the new house, the lights were still on in the yard and the north room.

Yue Feng entered the courtyard, locked the front door, and then went into the north room.

"You're back! Honey, are you sleepy?"

Wang Xiaona had already picked up all the food from the table and was now leaning back in her chair, resting.

"You're back? I'm fine. Did your parents say anything to you?"

"They mentioned something about the mountain produce purchasing and sales point!"

Wang Xiaona cautioned, "I heard from the villagers in the next village that those 'cleaver gang' members are quite fierce! Be careful, let's live a peaceful life and not provoke those desperados!"

Yue Feng grinned: "They're just desperate criminals! But even if they're desperate, can they compare to those Russian poachers in the old forests by the border?"

"We still need to be careful! I know you didn't set up this purchasing and sales station to make money for yourself. We can not make money, but we can't take on extra risks!"

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely be careful! If anything happens, just ask Uncle Hat. We don't have any official positions, so we definitely won't clash with them unless absolutely necessary!" Yue Feng comforted his wife like he was coaxing a child.

"That's more like it! You must be tired after such a long train ride, right? There's hot water in the thermos, soak your feet and relax!"

After saying this, Wang Xiaona was about to bend down to pour Yue Feng's foot bath water. "Alright, you just sit still, I can do it myself!" Yue Feng waved his hand repeatedly and went to do his own thing.

After washing my feet, all the fatigue came back to me.

As Yue Feng and his wife turned off the lights and got into bed, a pair of smooth, soft hands climbed onto Yue Feng's chest.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and that's no joke.

Seventeen thousand three hundred and twenty-one words are omitted here.

……

The next morning, Yue Feng opened his eyes precisely before six o'clock.

In the yard, near the storage shed, the big black eagle and the little white spear were cawing loudly. This was the time when the male and female eagles would hand over their duties, taking turns incubating the eggs. Usually, it was just past dawn when the male eagle would go out to hunt for food and then return to relieve the female eagle.

It was already broad daylight outside. Yue Feng quickly got up, dressed, and went to check on his eagle.

Having been away for so many days, Yue Feng was quite missing his Falcon. He wondered if the two of them might have developed some kind of tiff after not seeing each other for so long.

Yue Feng didn't rush to push open the door to the Eagle's Nest warehouse. Instead, he stood at the door of the north room and habitually whistled twice.

The moment it heard the whistle, the black eagle, forgetting the food it hadn't finished eating, jumped from the barn to the open window and peered out.

Upon discovering that it was Yue Feng who had blown the whistle, the big black eagle immediately began to squawk excitedly.

"Hehe! You still recognize me, not bad!" Yue Feng grinned, feeling quite pleased.

The big black eagle cawed for several minutes, then suddenly pushed off the window and flew straight towards Yue Feng.

Yue Feng stretched out his arm, and the large black eagle landed directly on his arm.

Gaa gaa gaa gaa!
The big black eagle nodded back and forth at Yue Feng, calling out incessantly, as if to say, "Where have you been all this time? I haven't seen you for a long time!"

Yue Feng touched the eagle's chest and tail feathers. During this time, the black eagle had begun its molting period, and many of the fine downy feathers on its body had fallen off and new feather tubes had grown in its place.

Especially on its lower abdomen, where it spends a lot of time incubating the eggs, its feathers are noticeably thinner, and its soft little belly is even showing.

Yue Feng played with the big black eagle for a while as was his habit, before gently pushing open the warehouse door while holding the eagle.

Inside the eagle's nest, Little White Spear temporarily took over incubating the eggs from his wife. He lay obediently in the nest, and when he saw his master come in, he only made a few small caws without getting up from the nest.

Yue Feng looked around. The warehouse was very clean, with fine sand on the floor. Apart from a few eagle droppings, there were no feathers of the prey or leftover remains.

It goes without saying that during the days Yue Feng was away from home, his wife cleaned and tidied up every day.

Yue Feng stretched out his arms, letting the big black eagle fly to the platform on the roof beam. Then he took down the flashlight hanging on the wall, climbed up the ladder to the eagle's nest.

I checked each egg in the nest with a flashlight. Luckily, all five eggs hatched normally this year. Under the light, I could see large patches of shadowy tissue covered with blood vessels. According to the schedule, the eaglets should hatch in a little over a week.

After checking on the baby eagles in the eagle enclosure, Wang Xiaona, the wife, got up from inside the house.

The couple strolled hand in hand back to their old house for breakfast.

After breakfast, the hunting team members gathered at Yue Feng's house.

So many things have happened in just a few days, both at home and in the restaurant. As the leader, Yue Feng definitely has to deal with them.

Investigate what needs to be investigated, retaliate where necessary, settle each case one by one!

Immediately, Yue Feng assigned tasks to the group.

The three men were assigned to gather information in three different areas: the Eagle Hunting Brigade, the supply and marketing channels in the city, and their own village and the surrounding villages. They were each tasked with finding out information about the Kitchen Knife Team and the owner of the newly opened restaurant.

As for Yue Feng himself, he had returned from his trip but hadn't yet taken a stroll around the farm on the mountain.

I wonder how Master and Grandpa Wu have taken care of the wolf cubs they found.

After assigning the tasks, Yue Feng rode his motorcycle to the mountain farm.

Even when we were still a hundred meters or so from the gate of the farm, the dogs in the yard started barking noisily.

Yue Feng twisted the accelerator and sped up, quickly arriving at the door.

"Master, sir! Open the door!" Yue Feng shouted at the top of his lungs.

This call only made the dogs inside the house make even more noise.

Soon, Zhao Dashan came out of the house and pushed open the gate of the breeding farm.

"You're back? When did you get home?"

"Hehe, I got off the train yesterday evening and arrived home around 10 p.m.!" Yue Feng pushed his motorcycle into the yard.

The four dogs in the house were so excited when they saw their owner come home that they barked incessantly and wagged their tails like fans.

"Where's my Uncle Wu?" Yue Feng asked curiously.

"Your uncle had some family matters to attend to, and he left the day before yesterday after receiving the news!"

"Oh, didn't you say what it was about?"

"They didn't say, it seems to be related to the Ginseng Gang. They should be heading into the mountains in about half a month!"

"Oh! How's our wolf cub doing?" Yue Feng asked again.

Hearing this, Grandpa Zhao grinned and said proudly, "Not only the wolf cubs, but even the mother wolf is in the enclosure behind!"

"What? You caught that she-wolf?" Yue Feng was a little confused when he heard the news.

"No, the mother wolf was shot by villagers who came up the mountain to hunt with a shotgun, and I found her! I'm raising her in the back! This wolf is quite smart and understands human nature! I let her hold the cubs. After I took away her milk from the cubs, her milk stopped flowing not long after, and I've been feeding the cubs with a bottle every day these days!"

"Oh, let's go take a look!"

"go!"

Soon, led by Grandpa Zhao, Yue Feng saw the little female wolf who had given birth to mixed-breed pups.

The mother wolf was lying in a cage with some dry grass inside. Several cubs, whose eyes were already open and were almost a month old, were whimpering beside her.

Upon seeing the stranger arrive, the little female wolf lay down on the ground in a defensive posture, baring her snow-white fangs with a menacing air.

"Who are you trying to scare? Can't you tell the difference between the king and the queen? Quiet down, we're all family, we don't want to hurt you!!" Grandpa Zhao scolded her impatiently, and the she-wolf immediately lay there obediently, not daring to bare her teeth.

Yue Feng took a closer look at the little female wolf. Its fur color, size, and body length were all somewhat different from those of ordinary wolves.

Its fur is silver-gray, and its body size is slightly larger than that of an ordinary wolf.

What's even more impressive are its eyes, which seem to understand human speech. They seem to know that the hostility in its eyes won't harm it, and the hostility in its gaze softens considerably. (End of Chapter)
