Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205: Chapter 145: Old Zhang’s Family (Part 2)

"Brothers, you’re doing this out of spite. Why did I speak the plain truth?"

Zhang Qingshan looked at him with a smile. Seeing that he was about to tease the third brother, he changed the subject so as not to provoke him, "Dad, are we going to the mountains with other villages this year, or just our village? If it’s just our village this time, we shouldn’t go into the deep mountains. In the autumn, those people from Tiger Gully went hunting and got injured by a pack of wolves."

Uncle Zhang paused when he heard this, "This time, three surrounding villages will go up the mountain together, and whatever we catch belongs to our own village. As for how much we catch, it depends on the village’s arrangements. We won’t go deep into the mountains, just around the middle. Going further in is risking our lives, it’s not like the old days when there wasn’t enough food and clothing, no need to risk our lives."

Mr. Zhang nodded repeatedly, not wanting any accidents, as his family wasn’t short of money. His sons were all accomplished, and with the in-laws participating, if they encountered a pack of wolves, it wouldn’t be enough for just him and Xiao Wu to handle.

"In recent years, there have been frequent wolf howls in winter, fewer hunters, and more large beasts, so we still need to be careful. Even the middle of the mountain has wild boars and deer, there’s plenty of wildlife there. To go into the deep mountains, you’d need at least a hundred seasoned people with guns."

Zhang Guoqing listened anxiously. He had seen many wild deer at the creek. In a couple of days, men from three villages would swarm the forest, likely scaring all the wildlife away. He had observed that terrain, very safe, and planned to go up those mountains in the next few days, but he was too busy to notice.

"Dad, do you remember the small creek by the middle of the mountain that I mentioned last time? It’s a great place, we should go there early, otherwise, if everyone rushes in, it could scare away those wild animals."

Uncle Zhang was very interested and asked, "Xiao Wu, is it the small creek by that patch of black forest? That place is near the neighboring county, not many people go there. Did you find any tracks?"
