Time Travel: My Comfortable Life After Going to the Countryside

Leqi: "Liu Xiangyang, are you still going into the mountains today?"

"Go ahead, I've learned several skills from my master, so I definitely need to put them into practice. As great people have said, practice is the sole criterion for testing truth."

Leqi: "Then you have to be careful. Let's go back and cook quickly. You can go after you finish eating. I'll make some steamed buns for you to take with you. You can eat them if you get hungry tonight."

Le Yao: "Sis, let me knead the dough for you first, you can go and cook the dishes."

Xue Bingbing: "Then I'll wash the rice and cook the rice. Leqi, you cook the dishes. That way we can save time."

"Hmm, not bad, not bad. Well then, I'll reluctantly indulge in my lordly fantasy. Let's go home."

While the three women were cooking, Liu Xiangyang went to the village's large well to fetch water and filled both large water vats.

If we really succeed in raising rabbits, then shouldn't we dig a well near our yard? Otherwise, it's not realistic to have Xue Bingbing and the others fetch water every day. We should start raising rabbits first.

Liu Xiangyang cleaned the rabbit hutch and changed their hay. Leqi came to call her for dinner.

Just as Liu Xiangyang was about to close the courtyard gate with his basket on his back, Old Wang arrived. "You brat, you've only learned a little bit and you're already heading into the mountains again?"

"Master, what brings you here?"

"Hey, I'm here to give you this. It's been with me for many years." Old Wang was holding a knife in his hand.

He drew his sword from its leather sheath. The blade was covered with fine, needle-like forging patterns, and was bluish-gray in color, with only a hint of cold light emanating from the edge.

The handle is made of deer antler and has been used by Old Wang for many years, so it has developed a patina.

"This was passed down to me by my father, and now I'm passing it on to you."

"Master, this is too expensive. Why don't I just go to the county and buy one?"

Upon hearing Liu Xiangyang's words, Old Wang grabbed a leather knife and began to beat Liu Xiangyang mercilessly.

"Damn it, I was doing something that was meant to be passed down, and you interrupted me. I'll beat you to death, you piece of trash."

Liu Xiangyang covered his head with both hands and said, "Master, stop hitting me, I'll take it, I'll take it, okay?"

"You worthless bastard, if you actually hit something, be careful to bleed it out. Get lost." Old Wang cursed as he left.

Liu Xiangyang rubbed his hands, pulled out the knife and looked at it. "It's the same as my military dagger."

Liu Xiangyang has the ability to dissect, so he doesn't actually need a hunting knife, nor did he intend to get one, but he owes Old Wang a debt of gratitude.

Liu Xiangyang followed the same path up the mountain as yesterday, hoping to encounter the same few roe deer from yesterday. When he arrived at the place where the roe deer had disappeared, there was only a series of footprints extending inward.

Liu Xiangyang followed the footprints for another ten minutes or so. Just as he turned past a tree that would take three people to encircle, his foot landed on the withered yellow leaves.

"Click"

Liu Xiangyang stopped in his tracks, and suddenly his whole body trembled.

Just forty or fifty meters away, a black bear the size of a small mountain was standing there staring at him with its dark eyes, sniffing his scent. The beast looked to weigh at least five or six hundred pounds.

A gust of wind carrying a strong, pungent smell of fish and rotting earth rushed towards Liu Xiangyang.

Liu Xiangyang's muscles tensed, his brain racing, recalling Old Wang's advice: "If you encounter a bear, don't run around, don't play dead, don't show weakness, and slowly back away."

However, I have an absolute safe distance of 15 meters. It's not like I was ambushed and couldn't react in time. Besides, I'm within the range of a shotgun, so I have double insurance. What's there to be afraid of?

Thinking of this, Liu Xiangyang tightened his grip on the hunting rifle and slowly ran past a tree toward the big black bear.

The black bear stared at Liu Xiangyang, growling at him in a low voice. When Liu Xiangyang was seven or eight meters closer, there were no obstacles between them.

The black bear suddenly stood up, opened its mouth wide, and let out a deep roar from its throat. Liu Xiangyang could smell the stench emanating from the bear's mouth.

The big black bear seemed to be enraged when it saw that Liu Xiangyang showed no sign of being frightened.

With a thud, it landed on its front paws and charged towards Liu Xiangyang.

Liu Xiangyang had been pointing his hunting rifle at the black bear, but after thinking about it, he decided not to damage the bear's hide and put the gun away.

When the bear entered within fifteen meters, the stench, along with the bear's running, entered Liu Xiangyang's mind.

Despite his discomfort, Liu Xiangyang put the big black bear into his spatial storage.

Liu Xiangyang retreated to the tree that was so big that three people could barely encircle it, took out the hunting knife that Old Wang had given him, and released the black bear. It was only 3 meters away from him. The black bear was stunned for less than 3 seconds before it regained its senses and pounced on Liu Xiangyang again.

Liu Xiangyang was startled and quickly put the black bear back inside.

After calming down, I placed the black bear about ten meters away from him. This time, the black bear was stunned for about five seconds.

"Haha, this is going to be great! I'm going to kill the bear alone! I, Liu Xiangyang, am determined to pull this off."

After being repeated more than ten times, the black bear was released after nearly two minutes of unconsciousness.

This time, Liu Xiangyang placed the big black bear in front of him. The bear lay sprawled on the ground, and Liu Xiangyang took his hunting knife and stabbed it into the bear's neck, making two horizontal cuts to the left and right. Bear blood spurted all over Liu Xiangyang, emitting a foul stench.

"I made a mistake. I didn't think of that. I'll be more careful next time I kill a bear." He wiped his face, tied the black bear's hind legs with a rope, and hung it upside down.

Bear blood must be thoroughly cleaned, otherwise the bear meat will quickly become fishy and unpalatable. Liu Xiangyang didn't know what bear blood was, but he still collected some and put it in his space. Maybe the readers will know what bear blood is used for.

After bleeding the bear, he put it into his spatial storage, slung his backpack over his shoulder, put his knives and spears inside, and headed down the mountain.

As they approached their own courtyard, they hoisted the black bear onto their backs and pushed open the gate. They saw the light on in their own room, where Xue Bingbing, Le Qi, and Le Yao were yawning and chatting. Hearing Liu Xiangyang's voice as he returned, the three women quickly came out with lanterns.

"it's me."

Under the dim light, the three were startled by Liu Xiangyang, only reacting when they heard his voice.

"Liu Xiangyang, where are you hurt?"

"Where can we find a doctor this late at night?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just bear blood sprayed on me. My skin isn't even broken."

Liu Xiangyang placed the bear at the kitchen doorway. "Hurry up and boil some water, and get me some food. I'll go call my Uncle Wang to come and skin the bear."

Xue Bingbing and the others boiled water and heated up the food, while Liu Xiangyang went to Old Wang's house.

"Clang clang clang"

"Open the door, it's me."

"Here it comes, here it comes, it's so depressing in the middle of the night."

Old Wang got up and opened the courtyard gate, only to see Liu Xiangyang covered in blood.

"You fucking killed someone?"
