Reborn in 78, I made my fortune by working in the mountains, supporting three families on my own.

Zhao Lei was anxious and ran through the woods as fast as he could.

Before long, a figure was seen lying on the hillside, clutching his leg and screaming in agony.

at the same time.

From another direction, Qin Dashan also rushed out. The two exchanged a glance and hurriedly came to the man's side.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the person screaming was unfamiliar; it was neither Qin Bowen nor Wang Zongbao.

They both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, how are you?" Zhao Lei stepped forward, squatted down, and checked on the other man.

The young man recognized the man but instinctively asked for help: "Help me, I've stepped into an animal trap."

Zhao Lei and Qin Dashan checked the other person's injuries.

At that moment, the sharp, pointed animal trap was firmly gripping the other person's ankle, piercing the flesh and drawing blood.

Qin Dashan gasped.

"Ouch, brother, you're badly injured! I just hope God protects you and doesn't hurt your Achilles tendon, otherwise it'll be a real problem."

The young man became even more frightened upon hearing this.

The burly young man, standing at 1.78 meters tall, was now in tears, pleading for help: "Brothers, please, please save me, help me, take me down the mountain to find a doctor. I can't afford to be disabled. I have an elderly mother at home, and my new wife is pregnant. My whole family is waiting for me to support them."

Qin Dashan was kind-hearted to begin with, and upon hearing this, he felt even more pity: "Leizi, lend a hand, let's take the animal trap off first and stop the bleeding from the wound."

Without a word, Zhao Lei and the other man worked together, prying open the animal trap and freeing the animal's ankle.

He rinsed the wound with water from his water bottle and found that the other person had only suffered some superficial injuries and had not damaged his Achilles tendon. He breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Lei reassured him, "Brother, it's not a big problem. You didn't injure your Achilles tendon. Just rest for a few days and you'll be fine."

Upon hearing this, the young man thanked him repeatedly.

After wiping away her tears, she carefully examined Zhao Lei and Qin Dashan, then suddenly looked at Qin Dashan and said, "Brother, you look familiar. Aren't you surnamed Qin?"

Qin Dashan nodded: "Ah, yes, my name is Qin Dashan, this is my brother-in-law Zhao Lei, and these are two younger brothers. We came into the mountains together to hunt wild boar. By the way, what about you, brother?"

Upon hearing that it was indeed Qin Dashan, the militia captain of the Heping Brigade, Wang Xiaohu immediately became excited: "It really is you, Brother Dashan! You led the militia to our Taiyang Brigade to repair the road before, and you helped the villagers a lot. I recognize you."

Halfway through his sentence, Wang Xiaohu suddenly turned around and looked at Zhao Lei, exclaiming in shock, "You're Zhao Lei?"

Zhao Lei scratched his head in confusion.

He thought to himself, "Am I not as famous as my brother-in-law?"

Could it be that the bad reputation of being divorced three times has been spread again?

Am I that famous?

Wang Xiaohu grabbed Zhao Lei's hand and said gratefully, "Brother Lei, so you're Zhao Lei! Thank you, thank you for killing the murderer who killed my little sister."

Zhao Lei and Qin Dashan exchanged a glance, both completely baffled.

"Brother, what murderer? I haven't done anything illegal," Zhao Lei immediately retorted.

"Brother Lei, have you forgotten? Didn't you kill a bear a while ago? The little girl who died, Wang Xiaofang, was my little sister."

"Hiss... Now that you mention it, I remember. You're Uncle Shoushan's son?"

"Yes, yes, I'm the second oldest in my family, my name is Wang Xiaohu."

Unexpectedly, the group started chatting while treating Wang Xiaohu's wounds, and quickly became acquainted.

However, this is not surprising, after all, Tuanjie Township is only so big.

In this day and age, transportation is underdeveloped, and people cannot travel all over the country. Most people in the same village or town are related or acquaintances.

Not long after, Wang Xiaohu's injuries were treated, but his mobility was still limited and he had difficulty walking.

Qin Dashan and Zhao Lei supported him on either side.

Qin Dashan pressed, "Xiao Hu, why are you here all alone? What are you doing up the mountain? How did you manage to step into that animal trap again?"

After Wang Xiaohu explained, everyone understood that Wang Xiaohu had also heard about Zhao Lei and his group making a fortune by hunting a lot of wild boars in Qingshui Ditch.

The news had already spread throughout the young players' circle of the Suns.

A few daring young men discussed it and realized that they could only earn a little money by earning work points.

Why not go up the mountain and hunt a few wild boars for a treat? If you're lucky, you might even make a fortune.

So Wang Xiaohu and several villagers came to Qingshuigou yesterday.

As it turned out, the others were lucky and each of them managed to catch one or two wild boars of varying sizes, and they went home feeling quite pleased with themselves.

He was just bad at shooting and had bad luck, scaring away wild boars several times, which resulted in him getting nothing.

The thought that everyone had prey made him feel ashamed to go back, so he had to hunt something.

So he stayed in Qingshui Gully. Unexpectedly, after lunch today, he planned to explore deeper into the forest, but he accidentally stepped into an animal trap.

A short while later, Qin Bowen and Wang Zongbao, having heard the commotion, also came out of the woods.

Upon seeing the injured Wang Xiaohu, he was initially surprised, but after learning what had happened, he said nothing more.

Wang Xiaohu suddenly said something inappropriate: "Brother Dashan, did you set these animal traps?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lei and the other three all frowned.

Qin Bowen immediately retorted, "Wang Xiaohu, what are you saying? We saved you, and instead of acknowledging it, you're blaming us?"

"Brother Bowen, I've heard a lot of people in Qingshuigou say these past few days that you used animal traps to hunt so much game. Didn't you set them yourself?"

Qin Dashan brandished his hunting rifle indignantly: "Brother Xiaohu, we hunt with rifles. Who said we use animal traps? We would never do something so immoral."

"Brother Dashan, you are good people, and I also don't think you were the ones who released them. But now many people are blaming you for this. Several old hunters in Qingshuigou are seriously injured, and I heard from them that they are planning to cause trouble for you."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lei was shocked to learn that things had escalated to this point.

We absolutely cannot sit idly by and let the rumors continue to spread, or the false will become the truth.

"Let's take Xiaohu down the mountain today. We should use this opportunity to get rid of the accusations they've put on us, or we'll really have a big problem."

"Yeah, Lei Zi, ever since we went up the mountain today, I've been feeling uneasy, like something's going to happen."
