Time Travel: My Comfortable Life After Going to the Countryside

Liu Xiangyang returned to his room and opened the package. Inside were a thick cotton quilt, a sweater and long trousers, a dog-skin hat, cotton gloves, and cotton shoes.

Liu Xiangyang put the quilt and clothes into the closet, changed his clothes, carried the basket on his back, picked up the hunting rifle, and went to Xue Bingbing's house.

"Steam me a few more buns, I'll take them up the mountain to eat, I might have to go every day for the next few days."

Le Qi: "Liu Xiangyang, how about we forget about it? We still have wheat flour here, right? We can eat wheat flour during the autumn harvest."

Liu Xiangyang deliberately held the hunting rifle in his hand: "With a gun, what animals are you afraid of? You saw with your own eyes how I took down those two spies. My more than ten years of martial arts skills haven't been wasted."

"Besides, even if you guys don't eat it, I'm still craving it. I'm doing this entirely for myself."

The three girls were so moved they almost cried, especially Xue Bingbing, who had only her maternal grandmother to take care of her since she was a child, and even if she was bullied, she didn't dare to tell her.

Xue Bingbing couldn't hold back any longer and threw herself into Liu Xiangyang's arms, bursting into tears. This reminded Le Qi and Le Yao of what their mother had written in her letter: that their father's health was failing and he was nearing his end.

Leqi and Leyao rushed over and hugged Liu Xiangyang, crying loudly.

Although Xue Bingbing pleaded and clung to him desperately, she only managed to quell Liu Xiangyang's anger a little. However, when the three warm and soft bodies embraced him, Liu Xiangyang still shamefully had a reaction.

Leqi was crying in Liu Xiangyang's arms when she felt something pressing against her stomach. She grabbed and pinched it, realized what it was, and blushed with embarrassment.

He quickly stepped back and said, "I'll go knead the dough first."

Hearing Le Qi speak, Xue Bingbing and Le Yao blushed and said, "Then I'll go cook first." "I'll go help my sister knead the dough."

Just moments ago, Liu Xiangyang was surrounded by warmth and fragrance, but now he was all alone. Is this a case of "three monks have no water to drink"?

The three women in the kitchen were all blushing as they went about their tasks. Although none of them spoke, they all seemed to understand each other's feelings.

Under the watchful eyes of the three women, Liu Xiangyang carried his basket and walked into the mountains.

I passed by the place where villagers usually gather firewood.

"Is Liu, the educated youth, going into the mountains?"

"I'll go in and take a look, try my luck." He then took the hunting rifle from his basket and held it in his hand.

"Then you must not go deep into the mountains, it's the time when the bears are preparing for winter."

"Okay, I understand."

Following the mountain path pointed out by the villagers, Liu Xiangyang continued walking, marking the direction on the trees with his machete every now and then.

If you encounter any large stones along the way, put them into your spatial storage so you can pave a stone path for the yard later.

More than an hour later, it was completely dark, with only the moonlight shining through the branches and reflecting on the earth.

Liu Xiangyang could only unleash his spiritual power to ensure that no movement within a 15-meter radius around him could escape his notice. He listened carefully, his eyes scanning the area ahead intently in the moonlight.

Another half hour passed, and although they had collected quite a few stones, they hadn't found a single animal.

Just then, a series of footprints appeared ahead, and Liu Xiangyang quickly followed them carefully.

Liu Xiangyang had no hunting experience in either of his lives. This time, he went into the mountains to learn by doing. Anyway, it was absolutely safe within a 15-meter range. Through more than a month of farm work and the experiments on Xue Bingbing these past few days, he had more than enough stamina. So he just went for it.

After following the footprints for about 300 meters, I saw several figures moving in the grove ahead.

After carefully observing what appeared to be a few roe deer, I cautiously moved forward another two hundred meters or so without disturbing them. I was now about a hundred meters away from the roe deer.

The optimal shooting distance for my shotgun is 30-50 meters. To ensure a fatal shot, I should get a little closer.

Liu Xiangyang carefully stepped over the broken tree branch in front of him without making a sound. After a few minutes, he moved forward another seven or eight meters. At this time, the roe deer seemed to have sensed something and kept looking up at Liu Xiangyang.

Liu Xiangyang dared not go any further. He lay motionless on the ground, observing the roe deer inside. Its back fur was bluish-green, and it weighed about 100 kilograms. In Northeast China, this kind is called "green-capped" or "big green chestnut".

After lying on the ground for more than ten minutes without any movement, the roe deer relaxed and began to eat.

Liu Xiangyang climbed another thirty or forty meters and estimated that he was about sixty or seventy meters away from the roe deer.

One of the roe deer seemed a little uneasy; it had stopped eating and kept staring in Liu Xiangyang's direction. Liu Xiangyang felt that it had already discovered him.

Liu Xiangyang had no choice but to take a gamble, raising his shotgun and aiming at one of them.

With a bang.

Gunshots rang out in the mountains. The three silly roe deer heard the sound and then disappeared in a few swift movements.

"Damn it, I almost hit him. If I had just advanced another ten meters, I would have been fine. Looks like I still need to find someone to teach me how to hunt."

Liu Xiangyang checked his watch; it was almost ten o'clock, time to head down the mountain.

On his way back, Liu Xiangyang spread out his mental energy, collecting suitable stones and decomposing trees that looked pleasing to the eye.

It took me more than two hours to get home. I was just about to wipe myself down when there was a knock on the gate.

"Is Liu Xiangyang back? It's us."

Liu Xiangyang opened the courtyard gate and welcomed the three women in: "This is our first time going. We were unlucky and encountered a few silly roe deer, but we scared them away."

"As long as you're alright, that's all that matters. We can hunt another roe deer next time."

"Having white flour to eat is good enough. Liu Xiangyang, don't take any risks."

"In my opinion, some of the older educated youth couldn't even get enough to eat with cornbread, so we're already much better off."

Liu Xiangyang: "I almost took them down today. Tomorrow I'll ask someone for advice on how to find prey. We absolutely have to get some meat."

"Have you finished showering?"

Leqi: "Liu Xiangyang, since you're not home, we feel bad coming to wash at home and wasting your firewood."

Le Yao: "The main problem is that we don't have a key, so how are we supposed to get in?"

"If that's what you're saying, then I guess I'll just have to cook for myself from now on."

"As long as it's not too late, you can come and take a shower. I'll leave a key with you, so if I'm not home, you can come and take a shower whenever you want."

Leqi: "Liu Xiangyang, that's not what I meant."

Liu Xiangyang went to find the other key and handed it over. Seeing that neither Xue Bingbing nor her sister reached out to take it, Le Qi had no choice but to reach out and take the key herself.

"That's not what I meant. So, are you still going to take a shower today?"

"It's too late now, let's wash tomorrow. We'll head back now, Liu Xiangyang, you should get some rest too."

After taking a shower, Liu Xiangyang lay alone on the kang (a heated brick bed). He felt a little uncomfortable; he had been eating meat every day for the past few days, and suddenly lying alone like this felt strange.

It's so late. Once Leqi and Leyao are asleep, Xue Bingbing will probably be asleep too. I'm having trouble sleeping alone.
