Reborn in 1985, starting from the mountains of Northwest China

Chenjiagou was unusually lively today, despite Chen Zhengang's repeated orders yesterday not to leak any information.

But if a secret is known by more than five people, then it is no longer a secret.

"Have you heard? The Zhao family is offering a reward of one hundred yuan for killing a bear! That's a hundred yuan!"

"What, are you planning to go up the mountain too?" The old woman looked at her neighbor with curiosity. She had been a farmer all her life, and now she wanted to wield weapons?

The neighbor chuckled and said, "My old man doesn't have that kind of ability. All he can do is show off on the kang (heated brick bed)."

"That's not bad either, unlike Old Sun's family..."

During their leisure time, villagers like to gather together to gossip. If there's nothing new to say, someone will always make up something out of thin air to amuse everyone.

Chen Feng's heart was heavy. He hadn't expected that in just one night, the whole village would know about it. If they hadn't caught the bear, his father's medical treatment would be short by a whopping five hundred yuan!

How can we raise this huge sum of money? We can't really ask Mother to sell the house and land!

"That would be so unfilial of him," Chen Feng thought to himself as Old Huang came to his door.

"Hey bro, is everything ready on your end?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Chen Feng looked up at Lao Huang, who still had that cheerful smile, showing no sign of anxiety or unease.

Chen Feng asked hesitantly, "It was all prepared yesterday, Brother Huang. Have you heard the news outside?"

"I saw you looking so worried, I wondered what was wrong. Turns out it's this matter," Old Huang said, knowing that Chen Feng was just worried and confused, so he tried to comfort him.

"When we hunt, we must first respect the mountain god. If he's willing to protect us, this bear certainly won't escape!"

"I didn't pay my respects to him when I went up the mountain before. Should we put something up now?"

"Haha, as long as you respect him in your heart, that's fine." Old Huang patted Chen Feng on the shoulder: "You're so lucky, kid. He must like you. Let's check the guns and ammunition again. If there are no problems, let's go."

Chen Feng chatted with Lao Huang for a while, then went out with him. This was the most well-prepared he had ever been for a mountain trip!

Before leaving, Lin Xiu instructed, "Be careful. If things get tough, don't take any risks. I'll go borrow some money from my parents' home."

Chen Feng gave a wry smile. He had just fallen out with his brother-in-law, and if Lin Xiu went to borrow money now, she would definitely be met with disdain.

As a man, he didn't want his woman to suffer, so this hunting trip had to succeed, not fail!

As a seasoned hunter, Lao Huang's preparations for supplies left Chen Feng secretly speechless.

The tricycle carried not only two hunting rifles, but also many other things he hadn't expected, such as a flashlight, salt, and various pre-made traps.

It's true that professional tasks should be left to professionals!

Chen Feng and Lao Huang took turns riding the tricycle. As his body gradually warmed up, Chen Feng gradually regained his previous state.

Once they reached the foot of the mountain, Old Huang pushed his tricycle into a small hut, locked it, and explained, "This is a hut I built myself. There are a few more in the mountains. I keep some cured meat, medicine, and other things here for emergencies."

Chen Feng nodded; this was the other person imparting valuable experience to him. As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows; a qualified hunter should also have multiple supply points in the mountains.

The two carried their belongings and walked side by side. But as they walked, they sensed something was amiss, so Chen Feng stopped and looked back.

Sure enough, several groups of people followed behind him and Lao Huang. When they saw that they were not moving, those people also stopped.

"Ha, they're planning to pick up the scraps left behind by us!"

Old Huang frowned. This kind of thing was actually quite taboo. After all, nobody wanted to have to be wary of humans behind them while hunting.

He turned around and went straight to them. "Old Ma, you're all experienced hunters, how come you're still acting like three-year-olds, doing such a ridiculous thing?"

Old Ma said shamelessly, "Old Huang, what do you mean by this? Is the mountain yours? It's none of your business how we walk!"

He didn't want to do this originally, but after his nephew analyzed it with him last night, he felt that Lao Huang was experienced and used to work alone, so he wasn't much of a threat to others.

But now, being associated with Chen Feng is proving to be quite troublesome. After all, everyone has witnessed just how shrewd and resourceful Chen Feng has been these past few days!

This combination of a scholar and a soldier is the most troublesome. That's why he and a few hunters he was on good terms agreed to wait in the forest hut at the foot of Laohuang Mountain and follow them up the mountain.

Isn't Chen Feng very familiar with the bear's tracks? Once we find it, we have a large and powerful force on our side. Are we afraid that the duck we've already got will fly away?

Old Huang has a short temper, and seeing the other party being so unreasonable, he immediately got angry.

"You don't need that wrinkled old face of yours anymore. You can sell it to Butcher Sun, and he can use it as a rag!"

"How dare you speak to me like that!" Old Ma's face darkened as he reached for his hunting rifle on his back. Several of his companions also approached, guns drawn, the rapid, menacing clicks of their rifles being cocked adding to the menacing atmosphere.

Seeing that something was wrong, Chen Feng fired a shot into the air. The gunshot startled everyone, and they all stared at Chen Feng.

"Young man, don't fire your gun so easily. You might accidentally discharge it and cause an accident, which would be terrible!"

Old Ma wasn't easily intimidated, and immediately threatened him.

"Think about what my older brother does before you decide whether you want to fight me."

The "elder brother" Chen Feng was referring to was not Chen Jun, but Yang Kai!

Although Lao Ma and his accomplices looked grim, Yang Kai's name still held sway over them. If things escalated, they probably wouldn't fare well either.

Another group of hunters heard gunshots and rushed over. Although they didn't see the bear, they witnessed this spectacular scene.

"Young Master Chen, you're too domineering! Old Ma is your uncle by seniority, how dare you talk like that!"

Those people, disregarding the facts, immediately began to accuse Chen Feng. Since they were all hunters for decades and knew each other well, they naturally sided with Old Ma when facing outsiders.

Chen Feng sneered: "Follow me if you want, as long as you're not afraid of getting lost in these mountains."

After saying that, he pulled Lao Huang away quickly. There were more and more of the other side's people here, and if they stayed any longer, they might get hurt.

In the deep mountains and forests, if someone gets carried away and acts recklessly, he doesn't want to fight to the death with such a hothead!

Although the two walked quickly, they couldn't shake off the flies following them.

Old Huang was getting a little anxious. They were getting closer and closer to Wufeng Mountain. What if someone took advantage of them?

Judging from the way these people were acting, they seemed intent on leaving the two of them permanently in the mountains.

"Don't worry, let's play with these idiots first before we fight the bear!" Chen Feng said calmly.
