In the 1970s, I sold my iron rice bowl, stocked up space and went to the countryside

Lu Qingyang seized the opportunity, locked the squirrel's head with a sharp look, and pulled the trigger lightly. With a crisp "bang", the bullet penetrated the target accurately.

He picked up the squirrel's body. The fur was intact and not damaged. It was a good start.

As they went deeper into the hinterland of the forest, the squirrels appeared more and more frequently.

Following the leading hound, they almost entered the squirrel's nest.

There were several male educated youths who joined the hunting team with Lu Qingyang and Sun Xiangqian. Two of them were already veterans. They joined the hunting team last year, so they were familiar with the route.

One was Cao Hongbin and the other was Ge Erniu.

Another one was Ren Ziqiang, who had always been hostile to Lu Qingyang. After all, the two were rivals in love.

Hu Shengli did not join the hunting team shamelessly, perhaps because he found that he was not that kind of material at all.

The last time he hunted bears, he was scared. After returning, he had a fever. He never mentioned joining the hunting team again.

Wang Dagang took a big iron pot from his horse, "It's noon. Let's rest here, eat some hot food, and then continue to move forward!"

The firewood in the forest was soaked and difficult to light. Experienced hunters would carry some dry firewood with them for emergency use.

Uncle Tie skillfully lit the hay in his hand. As the flames jumped, the campfire rose, adding some vitality to the quiet forest.

He carefully picked up a few handfuls of clean white snow and slowly put it into the iron pot, waiting for the snow water to gradually boil under the enthusiasm of the fire.

"Come on, everyone drink some hot water first."

Soon the pot of boiling water was empty, and everyone shared it to enjoy this rare warmth.

Lu Qingyang covered his ears with a hat, leaving only a slit of his eyes, observing the surrounding scene.

When it was his turn to heat up the rice, the salted fish gave off a fragrant smell. It was delicious when eaten with sorghum rice. After finishing the meal, Lu Qingyang stuffed another candy into his mouth.

After a short rest, they continued their journey.

Although Mantou's legs were short, he ran fast and was very clever.

When a squirrel suddenly jumped out of the woods, Mantou chased it without hesitation. After a few jumps, he returned triumphantly with the trophy in his mouth.

"Great, I thought this little guy was still very tender, but I didn't expect that even a greyhound could catch it." Wang Dagang couldn't help but praise it a few times.

The leading hound suddenly barked in the north direction, and Wang Dagang's face suddenly became serious.

"Laifu has smelled the smell, everyone cheer up, let's see what good stuff this time."

Lu Qingyang followed behind Wang Dagang and slowly stuck his head out to peek at the movement in front.

What came into view was a huge reindeer, its gray fur radiating luster in the snow, its belly slightly bulging, as if frightened, cautiously observing the situation around.

Winter is the time for reindeer to migrate, and this reindeer may have delayed time and separated from the main group, so it can only go north to try to find the migrating group.

Ren Ziqiang was about to load his gun, but was stopped by Wang Dagang, "We hunters also have hunters' rules. This reindeer is pregnant."

Ren Ziqiang was puzzled: "This deer has horns, how can it be a female."

"Female reindeer have horns. Foraging is really a physical job. Foraging female reindeers have no choice but to do it hard. Over time, they have horns."

"Xiao Lu is right. Reindeer are originally led by females."

Ren Ziqiang reluctantly put away his gun.

Wang Dagang saw his displeasure, "Don't have any opinions, just follow this pregnant female reindeer first."

Lu Qingyang instantly understood Wang Dagang's idea. He wanted to follow the female reindeer to find the reindeer herd.

They rode horses this afternoon, following the female reindeer not far away.

Lu Qingyang had never ridden a horse before, and he started to learn when he arrived at the Liuxi Brigade. I didn't expect that he had a talent in this area.

When passing a mountain, he saw a herd of reindeer at the foot of the mountain.

Wang Dagang hid excitedly and whispered, "I found it, I said I had a way."

"Be prepared, pick the lone ones to fight."

The reindeer's horns are not for decoration. If surrounded by reindeer, it is difficult for one person to escape even with a gun, which requires tacit cooperation between teammates and hunting dogs.

Uncle Tie reminded: "Choose the fat ones to fight!"

The male reindeer's feet are larger than those of the female reindeer, and the body size is also much larger.

Lu Qingyang walked slowly into the bushes without rushing, and first asked the hounds to go out and drive the reindeer herd.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Lu Qingyang aimed at a lone male reindeer and decisively pulled the trigger.

WithThe gunshots behind him rang out, and the male reindeer hurriedly prepared to run away.

Lu Qingyang turned around and realized that it was Ren Ziqiang who did it on purpose. He deliberately scared away the male reindeer because he didn't want Lu Qingyang to gain anything.

Ren Ziqiang raised a smug smile at the corner of his mouth and said provocatively: "What's the matter, you can hit it."

Lu Qingyang snorted coldly and walked in front of him with steady steps.

"I can't hit it, and you can't hit it either. Don't you think it's a pity to miss the opportunity because of personal grudges?"

Ren Ziqiang muttered in his heart: "What's a pity? I can't hit it, and I will never let you get it easily."

At the moment when this thought fell, Lu Qingyang's finger gently pulled the trigger, and a crisp gunshot cut through the air. The bullet splashed a piece of mud and snow not far from his feet, which startled Ren Ziqiang all over.

"You, you, you... Lu Qingyang, we are teammates, you want to kill me?"

Lu Qingyang sneered and said lightly: "It was just an accidental discharge."

"Do you still remember that we are teammates? Then how do you explain your actions just now?"

Ren Ziqiang was furious and raised his gun to point directly at Lu Qingyang, "I warn you, if you do this again, I will really shoot you!"

Lu Qingyang remained calm, and continued to load bullets into the gun without stopping his movements. His tone was so calm that it was outrageous: "You can try it, or just kill us all at once. Otherwise, once your murder is exposed, your fate will be a hundred times more miserable than mine."

He did this because he was not afraid that Ren Ziqiang could hit him. He still had 100 luck points this month, and he hadn't used them yet.

And Ren Ziqiang, after all, was just a cowardly person. He was still timid after all, and could only reluctantly lower his hand holding the shotgun and give up.

Lu Qingyang felt that the most important thing now was to kill the reindeer.

Mantou had a very strong learning ability. When he saw other hounds driving reindeer, he immediately imitated them.

But what he drove was a young reindeer.

Lu Qingyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but at least it was better to have it than not.

The little reindeer didn't have horns and wasn't very capable of attacking, but that didn't mean it didn't have the ability to attack. It turned around and pushed Mantou out.

But Mantou's strength was too weak, so he just rolled a few times in the snow, but he wasn't injured.

Lu Qingyang heard Sun Xiangqian's voice from behind him: "Qingyang, behind you."
