The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

Back in the yurt, I had just put down the package I was carrying.

Wu Tian plopped down on the ground, still shaken, and said, "That scared me to death!"

"This is what the grassland looks like at night. A few years ago, Old Chen and I encountered much more dangerous situations than this," Captain Wang said, patting Wu Tian on the shoulder.

Master Chen, who was standing to the side, also spoke up:

"By the way, Kaixin, Xiaotian, how many bullets did you use?"

"Master, I don't need it. I brought my own gun and bullets," Li Kaixin replied.

Sitting on the ground, Wu Tian looked puzzled and asked Li Kaixin, "Kaixin, what kind of riddle are you and Master Chen talking about?"

"Don't you know?"

"Think back to the last time you returned to the transport station from the Northeast. Although you encountered robbers, didn't you return the bullets along with the gun when you returned it?"

Li Kaixin said in surprise.

Wu Tian still looked confused.

Seeing that Wu Tian couldn't understand, Captain Wang succinctly explained:

"Unless there are special circumstances, not a single bullet should be returned."

Wu Tian finally understood, but still asked naively:

"Master, what happens if we run out of bullets?"

"They'll deduct your salary, and in serious cases, they might even fire you," Captain Wang said irritably.

Then he looked at Li Kaixin, and then at Wu Tian.

He muttered to himself, wondering why his apprentice was so dull and why Old Chen was so lucky. The more he thought about it, the more resentful he became, and he couldn't help but glare at Wu Tian.

Wu Tian was completely bewildered by his master's glare and asked blankly, "Master, what's wrong?"

"It's alright, don't say anything more." After saying that, Captain Wang turned his head to the side.

Master Chen laughed when he saw this.

I noticed Lao Wang's eyes darting back and forth between Li Kaixin and Wu Tian earlier, and I guessed that he was feeling resentful.

Instead of adding fuel to the fire, Master Chen said to Wu Tian, ​​"Xiao Tian, ​​how many bullets did you use today? I'll replenish them for you."

"Oh, thank you, Master Chen. How much will it cost?" Wu Tian asked.

Master Chen smiled and waved his hand:

"Let's talk about it after we get back to Beijing! Besides, you still owe your master money."

As he spoke, he took out a box of bullets from his bag and handed it to Wu Tian, ​​telling him to make up the difference himself.

"Go to sleep! It's getting late," a voice said.

Li Kaixin and Master Chen looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Captain Wang had already lay down and closed his eyes.

The two smiled at each other, then stopped talking and blew out the kerosene lamp.

The three of them lay down on the bunk and fell into a deep sleep.

As dawn broke, Chaolu and Enhe were already waiting outside Li Kaixin's tent.

Li Kaixin came out to relieve himself in a daze, and the two brothers immediately came forward with smiles on their faces.

Looking at the two large faces in front of him, Li Kaixin was instantly wide awake.

"Happy brother, you're up." Chao Lu rubbed his hands together and said with a smile.

Knowing the purpose of their visit, Li Kaixin said, "Good morning, Brother Chaolu and Brother Enhe. Please wait for me."

After saying that, he walked to a corner, unzipped his pants, and then returned to the yurt.

Inside the yurt, Master Chen and the others were still fast asleep when Li Kaixin turned to his side and took out a large Qianmen cigarette from the secret space.

After leaving the yurt, he handed it to Chaolu.

Chao Lu quickly accepted it.

"Thank you, Happy Brother!" Enhe and Chaolu said in unison, their faces full of joy.

Li Kaixin smiled and waved his hand: "It was originally meant to apologize, you don't need to be so polite."

The two brothers and Li Kaixin exchanged a smile.

The two brothers then opened a pack of cigarettes and started smoking.

Chao Lu took a sip of his drink and asked Li Kaixin, "By the way, Kaixin, are you busy today?"

"It's nothing, what's wrong, Brother Chao Lu?" Li Kaixin asked, puzzled.

Chao Lu was excited and said, "It's good that you're alright. We're going hunting later, do you want to come?"

"Are we going to the Greater Khingan Mountains?" Li Kaixin asked.

Chao Lu quickly waved his hand:

"Happy Brother, what are you thinking? The mountains are too dangerous, we dare not go there."

"We are hunting on the grasslands."

After thinking about it for a while, Li Kaixin finally agreed.

After breakfast, Li Kaixin took his gun and headed to the horse farm, where the two brothers were already waiting with their horses.

After mounting their horses, Chao Lu led the way, and the three of them rode off in one direction.

After riding for about half an hour, the speed finally slowed down.

Li Kaixin had always had a question in her mind, and she took the opportunity to ask it now:

"Brother Chaolu, how do you distinguish between wild and domesticated animals when you hunt on the grasslands?"

"We graze our livestock in specific areas, and the domesticated animals are usually in large flocks with markings, making them easy to distinguish," Chaolu said with a smile.

Li Kaixin nodded after hearing this.

Just then, a rabbit suddenly darted across the grass ahead.

Without hesitation, Enhe raised his gun and fired. Instantly, the rabbit was shot in the head.

Then Enhe rode forward and picked up the rabbit.

"Brother Enhe, you're amazing," Li Kaixin praised.

Upon hearing the praise, Enhe smiled and replied, "Happy brother, you can do this too."

The three rode for a while longer before finally encountering a decent prey.

A roe deer was staring at them with its signature foolish eyes.

This time, Chao Lu raised his gun to shoot, but he was probably too anxious and missed.

The roe deer was startled and ran far away in an instant.

Chao Lu was somewhat embarrassed. He had wanted to show off his skills in front of Li Kaixin, but he had failed.

Then, the three of them spurred their horses and gave chase.

When approached again, the roe deer darted forward once more.

Chaolu and Enhe fired shots repeatedly, but the roe deer skillfully dodged them all.

At that moment, Li Kaixin raised his gun, aimed, and hit the roe deer squarely in the head.

"Brother Chaolu, I hit it!" Li Kaixin said, turning his head.

Chao Lu was even more embarrassed, and forced a smile, saying, "Brother Kaixin, you're really amazing."

Enhe, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Chaolu already felt he had lost face, and he became furious with Enhe.

"What are you laughing at, Enhe? You missed too, didn't you?"

"But I hit a rabbit earlier," Enhe said seriously, suppressing a laugh.

Li Kaixin stepped forward to smooth things over: "Brother Chaolu, Brother Enhe, I just got lucky and hit the target."

Chao Lu then gave up.

However, Chaolu clearly increased his horse's speed, wanting to find another prey to prove himself.

Unfortunately, we didn't encounter a second roe deer all morning.

Although they saw gazelles and wild horses during the trip, the three of them disappeared as soon as they saw them from afar.

Li Kaixin also discovered that hunting on the grasslands was far more difficult than hunting in the mountains and forests.

The animals here can spot people from afar, and they disappear before people even get close.

In the end, the morning's catch consisted of only four rabbits and one roe deer.

After returning, they went to the production team leader, Batel, and handed over half of their game.

Chaolu explained that on the grasslands, half of the game hunted must be handed over; this is the local custom.

In the end, only two rabbits and half a roe deer remained.

Li Kaixin was just trying to relax, so he didn't care much about this little gain. In the end, he only cut off one roe deer leg and gave the rest to the two brothers.

The two brothers tried to refuse, but Li Kaixin insisted on giving it to them.

He then waved his hand and turned to walk towards his yurt.
