Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

Fan Daqiang's body was relatively weak, and he was already starting to feel the strain.

Fan Dayong, also trembling, stayed on a tree opposite.

"Daqiang, it's getting dark. We lost our hunting rifles when we ran away. We have no choice but to stay in the tree. Just bear with it a little longer. It'll be better when it gets light!"

"But what if the wolves still don't retreat after dawn? What should we do?" Fan Daqiang was still worried.

"Still not backing down?" Fan Dayong gritted his teeth. "Either we two brothers will starve to death in the tree, eventually falling to become wolf food. Or we'll run into hunters who've come into the mountains and be rescued!"

"Huh?" Fan Daqiang looked dejected.

This place is not far from the core of Da Liu Mountain.

Who would be so bored as to travel this far to hunt? Aren't they afraid of being eaten by wild animals?

Even if hunters were to venture into the mountains, with so many wolves, would they dare to risk fighting the wolves for the sake of the two brothers?

The thought of wolf packs

Fan Daqiang regretted it.

After learning of Fan Xibei's death, the two brothers fled into the Da Liu Mountain in fear.

Having learned from their previous hunting experience with Liu Bei, they quickly crossed the boundary marker of Sanlipo and ventured deeper into the area.

At first, they were so-so, and the two brothers each killed a rabbit.

This led people to believe that their hunting skills had improved by leaps and bounds, and that they could stay in the mountains without worrying about food or water, thus surviving the calamity peacefully.

As a result, when the two brothers roasted rabbit in the deep forest, they forgot to cover up the smell of blood.

As the two brothers were busy drooling over the two roasted rabbits, they heard the howling of wolves.

The two brothers were immediately startled and quickly grabbed their hunting rifles to defend themselves.

quickly,

A pack of wolves really did appear.

Upon seeing the pairs of wolf eyes, the two brothers had lost their composure from when they were hunting wild rabbits and were now very flustered.

Immediately, Fan Dayong grabbed Fan Daqiang and urged him to hurry.

"Daqiang, there are too many wolves. They're tough to deal with. Grab the rabbit meat and run while you eat! Be quick!"

In their panic, they forgot that he still had two hunting rifles in his hand.

Seeing that the two brothers were scared and wanted to run away,

The wolf king believed that the two brothers were cowards and easy targets.

The wolf king immediately gave the order to pursue, and the pack swarmed after them.

The chase made the two brothers even more panicked. On their escape, they not only forgot to eat the rabbit meat, but also lost their hunting rifle.

But the wolf pack behind them still didn't let them go and continued to chase them.

In the end, Fan Dayong had a flash of inspiration and told Fan Daqiang to quickly find a tree and climb it, just like him.

really.

The wolf pack was helpless after seeing the two brothers climb the tree. They could only stay under the tree and look up at the two brothers, but they refused to leave.

that's it,

The two brothers stayed in the tree for a whole day and night.

Their legs are almost numb from being stuck in the tree.

With the temperature dropping and their stomachs growling, the brothers were suffering from hunger and cold, making it increasingly difficult for them to endure the ordeal.

Fan Daqiang, in particular, felt that he was increasingly unable to bear it any longer.

Not only was his body getting colder, but his hands, feet, and legs were also becoming increasingly numb.

Gradually, under the pressure of hunger and cold, his thinking became increasingly sluggish, and he felt somewhat numb.

This condition is called hypothermia.

Let alone in 1981,

Even in later generations, many people who encounter this situation when entering the mountains do not know what it means.

"Awoo~"

The wolves below the tree kept howling at the tree above.

They appeared very calm and patient, not in a hurry at all.

As a wild animal in the deep mountains and forests

When hunting, it is common for wolf packs to wait for three days and three nights in order to catch their prey.

Not to mention it's only been a day and a night.

This amount of time is child's play for the wolf pack; it's nothing.

in contrast,

They were well aware that the two people in the tree were now at their weakest point.

Before long, they will fall from the tree and become their food.

They don't need to do anything; they just need to be patient and wait for success.

"Daqiang, what's wrong? Are you okay? Can't you sleep, you hear me?"

Fan Dayong glanced at Fan Daqiang across from him out of the corner of his eye and sensed something was amiss.

"Daqiang? I'm talking to you, why aren't you answering me? What's wrong with you? Say something!!!"

Seeing that Fan Daqiang still didn't respond, Fan Dayong became anxious and quickly asked again.

"Daqiang, are you cold?"

"Listen to me. You have to keep going, no matter how cold it is. Don't sleep, or you won't be able to wake up."

"Wake up, wake up!"

Seeing that his younger brother was about to get into trouble, Fan Dayong became really anxious and started yelling at the top of his lungs.

Hearing his anxious voice, the wolves under the tree became even more patient, each one panting and drooling, clearly waiting for their meal to begin.

"Brother, I...I'm so cold..."

At this moment, Fan Daqiang felt his mind becoming increasingly unclear, and he really wanted to sleep.

But he still instinctively responded to Fan Dayong with a sentence.

"This is bad. Daqiang really can't hold on any longer. If this continues, he'll really die! What should we do?"

"No. This really can't go on. He's my brother, my only brother. It was my idea to go into the mountains in the first place. I brought him here. If he dies, I... how am I supposed to face our parents?"

"A hundred years from now, when I get there, what face will I have to see him?"

"Damn it! We're going to die anyway! Instead of waiting for a chance in the tree, I might as well jump down and fight the wolves. Maybe I can fight my way out!"

"Daqiang, wake up! Listen to me. Staying in the tree is death, jumping down is also death. Either way, you're going to die, so you might as well jump down and fight the wolves!"

"Maybe with a bit of luck, we two brothers might manage to escape and save our lives!"

"Of course, if we're all unlucky and die, at least we fought with our lives. We didn't let down the men in our veins, did we?"

"Brother, this is...too dangerous. I can't gamble..."

"I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?" Fan Dayong snapped. "Our lives are in our own hands. No one has the right to decide them!"

"You better get your act together, you hear me?"

"Don't worry, tonight, even if I die, I will fight my way out for you."

"If you make it back alive, I don't ask for much. After you get married and have children, your first child can be adopted by me so he can continue my family line!"

"Qiangzi, did you hear what I said?"

"If you're a man, wake up, you bastard! Stop sleeping!"

"Otherwise, you don't deserve to be a man. You might as well be reborn as a pig or a dog in your next life!"

"Pigs and dogs?"

"Unworthy of being a man?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Daqiang seemed genuinely shocked. His eyelids slowly opened, and he stammered, "Brother, I...I don't want to be...a pig or a dog. I...I want to be...a man..."

"Since you want to be a man, what are you sleeping for? Wake up. Get your act together! Then break off a tree branch, and on my command, the two of us brothers will jump down and fight those beasts below!!!"

"Brother, I...I'll listen to you..."
