Rebirth 1983: The counterattack started from hunting in the mountains

After crying for nearly half an hour, Zhang Mingtang finally calmed down.

He bowed to Zhang Yaoyang very sincerely.

"I'm sorry, I was frightened just now and acted a little too aggressively. I hope I didn't scare you."

"I have already thought of some scenes. It is indeed you who saved me. I owe my life to you. Don't worry, I will definitely repay you."

"As for the death of my two companions, I will not shirk my responsibility. I killed them by accident. I will turn myself in after I get down the mountain."

Speaking of this, he became a little sad.

If he accidentally kills someone, he might end up in jail or even lose his life, and his wonderful life would be ruined.

But, this was his own fault, and he accepted his fate.

After listening to this, Zhang Yaoyang nodded, agreeing with his approach.

At the same time, he also gave a very high evaluation of this person's character.

People of this era are more simple and honest.

In later generations, most people live more selfishly and rationally.

Maybe he would really put all the blame on Zhang Yaoyang, and even kill him to destroy the body in order to protect himself.

If Zhang Mingtang is really arrogant and unreasonable, Zhang Yaoyang really needs to teach this young man a lesson.

But after the other party explained himself honestly, he felt a little bit reluctant. It was too cruel to lose a life for an unintentional mistake.

In this era, the legal profession has just been restored, and many people do not understand the legal regulations or the ins and outs involved. Basically, apart from crying out that they are innocent, any other substantive defense is useless.

Therefore, in this era, it is very easy to find legal loopholes.

His character as a top student, coupled with his extensive knowledge from later life, gave him a say in the matter.

"You don't have to be too pessimistic. I can be your witness, or I can have someone conduct an on-site inspection of this place to see if there is miasma that can harm people."

"I am willing to help you appeal for innocence and ensure your acquittal."

Zhang Mingtang was stunned.

"Is this really possible? Why are you helping me like this? We are not even related."

He has to plan something, otherwise he will feel like he has something to repay.

I feel very uneasy.

Freedom must come at a price, and we have to weigh what that price is.

If he cannot afford it, he would rather go to jail for life as an atonement for his sins than do anything against his conscience.

After all, Zhang Mingtang came from a big city, and his ideological awareness was quite high.

Zhang Yaoyang stared at the other person's handsome face for a long time and sighed in his heart.

He didn't expect to see such a scary hint on a stranger.

In his previous life, he lived to be over sixty years old and never knew about this until he died.

I didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected gain this time. For a moment, I felt mixed emotions. I just felt that this world is still too small, and we finally collided with each other after going around in circles.

"I'm helping you, and I'm also helping myself. I want to do something big, and I need someone to help me gain a foothold in Kyoto."

"Just now when you were unconscious, I saw the letter of introduction on you and knew that you had connections in Kyoto."

"Don't worry, I'm doing a legitimate business. I just want to start a company. Don't worry, I won't get you into trouble."

He just needs someone to help him get some connections so that he can do things more conveniently.

His goal is to build a career, and this guy is just a stepping stone for him.

Zhang Mingtang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.

What the other party asked for was relatively simple. To open a company, all one had to do was obtain business qualifications.

In other places, policies are relatively strict, there is no one at the top, and you may not be able to get it done even if you run around a lot.

Even in a big place, people who don't understand the inside story may have to take a lot of detours. It can save a lot of trouble if they have an acquaintance to help them.

The reason why Zhang Mingtang knew so much was naturally because his family happened to have a small business.

I don’t make much money, but I can achieve financial freedom earlier than ordinary people.

Otherwise, he would not have developed such a life-threatening hobby and dared to take risks in uninhabited mountains and swamps.

The two of them reached a preliminary recognition, and after learning that they had the same surname, they immediately became brothers.

At this time, it was almost two hours away. If he didn't go back, Xinghua and Chen Ergou would probably come looking for him and cause trouble.

Before leaving, Zhang Mingtang kowtowed three times to his two companions towards the miasma-filled land with some discomfort.

"Xiaobai, Lihua... I'm sorry, I can only leave you here. When I get down the mountain, I'll find someone to take you home!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely make up for what I owe you. Your family will also be my family in the future. I, Zhang Mingtang, swear here that I will treat them well in this life."

Wiping away tears, Zhang Mingtang followed Zhang Yaoyang and ran towards the dark forest.

At this time, the fish pond was filled with a fishy smell and the scene was bloody and scary.

There were a lot of big fish, which were cut in half and hung on the branches with their cheeks supported by sticks.

There were too many of them, and it looked like corpses were everywhere. When Zhang Mingtang saw it for the first time, he couldn't help but gasp, and felt that the things hanging there seemed to be people.

After listening to Zhang Yaoyang's vague explanation, Chen Ergou and his friends learned that the stranger had not eaten for two days and one night and generously showed their greatest goodwill to the stranger who suddenly appeared.

The two men took out a few of their own pancakes and caught a big fish, which they roasted over the fire for him to eat.

Zhang Mingtang had no way of refusing. He was so hungry that he swallowed the food in big gulps without caring about his image.

As he was eating, he seemed to think of his dead companions and tears started to fall down.

The food brought back salty tears. After eating half full, I couldn't eat anything else.

His sadness was silent but powerful, and it infected the people present and made them feel a little unable to eat.

No one said much, but just sat by the red fire, quietly accompanying him, hoping that the sun would rise soon to dispel the gloom of the night.

In the days that followed, Zhang Mingtang seemed to have become a different person. He became calm, reserved, and taciturn. Sometimes, there would be a moment of emptiness in his eyes.

If someone familiar with him saw him now, they would certainly be surprised at the change.

He no longer had the arrogance and rebelliousness of the past. He became very silent and depressed. He probably would never do anything adventurous again in his life. He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

If Zhang Mingtang wants to survive, he can only follow Zhang Yaoyang and his hunting team and wait for the right time to go down the mountain with them.

During this period, he would also help with hunting, but as for the prey, he insisted on not participating in the distribution, and only gave the profits to Zhang Yaoyang and let him distribute it himself.

For him, being able to save his life is priceless, and he will never be able to repay the other party's kindness in this lifetime.

However, he didn't know that Zhang Yaoyang's purpose in helping him was not just for profit, but also for other reasons.

It’s just that things are too complicated, so I won’t discuss them for now.

Ten days of hunting passed in a flash, and everyone returned along the way. They made a special cargo rack with branches and sticks, collected some dry goods stored and dried along the way, tied them up with vines and ropes, and then pulled the trailer away.

This is easier than carrying a hard bar on your shoulders, and you can carry more things.

The most eye-catching thing on Zhang Yaoyang's trailer is a moose.

It was very big, with its fur not damaged at all. It looked as big as two wild boars and weighed at least 500 kilograms.

This is the most valuable thing on this trip, probably worth a few thousand dollars.

This thing is deliberately placed in the open. It can only be given to the master or Qian Weixing. No one else can eat it.

It's because he has fed these two too many wild animals recently, so their purchasing power will decrease. If he gives them the money, he can only sell it at a low price, which is somewhat like selling it at a low price.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Mingtang spent ten thousand yuan to buy it in order to repay his kindness. Such a generous act shows how wealthy his family is.
