Siheyuan: Reborn in 59 years of famine, with a wife and daughter

Yesterday, when Lin Qiye, who was unemployed, came up with the idea of ​​temporarily relying on hunting to support his family, he made a strategy.

The best place for hunting in the towns and villages surrounding Sijiu City is Qinjialing, 40 miles west.

There is a large undeveloped mountain there, and many hunters go there to hunt.

But everyone went in groups and no one dared to go alone like Lin Qiye. After all, there were ferocious beasts such as wild boars, wolves, and leopards roaming deep in the mountains, and some people had even encountered tigers.

It would be very dangerous for a person to face such a ferocious beast.

But that only applies to ordinary hunters. For people like Lin Qiye, who have guns and the ability to teleport, this miraculous way of saving their lives.

He was not afraid of these things at all. At worst, when his life was threatened, he could just teleport away.

In order to save money, Lin Qiye did not take a rickshaw after walking out of the No. 95 compound, but walked to the bus station.

Fortunately, the Sijiucheng Bus Station is not too far from Hongxing Street, and Lin Qiye has good walking speed.

Thirty minutes later, we arrived at the bus station.

Lin Qiye took out money and went to buy a ticket.

"Young man, do you have a letter of introduction?"

"letter of introduction?"

Lin Qiye was stunned.

Yes, that was in the 1950s and 1960s. There were no ID cards in that era. ID cards were not used until the 1980s.

Therefore, due to the need to manage social security and population mobility, a letter of introduction has become one of the essential documents for people to go out, and a letter of introduction is needed to do anything.

This is a valid document for identification.

Whether you take the train or the bus, no matter what errand you go to any department in another place to do, you need a letter of introduction.

It can be said that as long as you leave the four-nine cities, you need a letter of introduction.

Those who are employed can get a letter of introduction from their workplace, while those who are unemployed can go to the neighborhood committee to get a letter of introduction.

Lin Qiye smiled and said to the ticket seller, "I'm so sorry, brother. I left in a hurry and didn't have a letter of introduction. You see, the neighborhood committee is not open for work now. Can you please make an exception and let me buy this ticket? I'm definitely not a bad person."

As he spoke, Lin Qiye took out a pack of Lao Dao brand cigarettes and tactfully handed one to the other party.

The other party looked at Lin Qiye, hesitated for a moment, and finally took the cigarette from Lin Qiye.

Seeing that Lin Qiye was so capable, the other party didn't want to embarrass Lin Qiye.

The ticket seller held a cigarette in his hand and said, "Comrade, remember to get a letter of introduction when you go out next time. This will not happen again."

"Okay, okay, thank you, big brother. I will remember to open it next time."

"But for safety's sake, we still have to search you. After all, you don't have a letter of introduction, and we can't be held responsible if anything happens to you."

"Okay, big brother, I don't have anything with me, you can search me."

Lin Qiye's things were all placed in the space, so it was impossible to find anything by searching his body.

He had nothing on him except the one dollar for fare that Li Yueling had given him and half a pack of Laodao cigarettes.

Lin Qiye expressed his understanding of the conductor's request. He opened his hands and allowed the conductor to search him.

The ticket seller saw that Lin Qiye was not only capable but also cooperative. He searched Lin Qiye's body briefly and found no contraband, then bought a ticket for him.

These town buses mainly run short distances compared to long-distance buses and trains.

Sometimes, even without a letter of introduction, you can still buy a ticket and take the bus as long as you are polite and speak nicely. After all, no one will check this thing along the way.

However, if you want to take a long-distance bus or train, you must have a letter of introduction to buy a ticket.

Because there will be police checks along the way, if a passenger does not have a letter of introduction, the train conductor or bus driver will be fined. It is also quite troublesome, as people without letters of introduction will be detained and sent back to verify their information. No one wants to deal with such trouble.

I successfully spent fifty cents and bought a ticket to Qinjialing.

Lin Qiye thanked the conductor and boarded the earliest bus.

The bus headed towards Qinjialing.

The original distance of about forty miles was only about twenty kilometers, so it would not take much time at all.

But the road surface these days, even inside the city, has not been hardened in many places, let alone outside the city.

After leaving Sijiucheng, the road became bumpy and uneven, and the mountain road was rugged with sharp turns and steep slopes. The bus was bumpy all the way and drove slowly. It took nearly three hours to reach Qinjialing, 20 kilometers away.

After getting off the bus, Lin Qiye looked around and saw a large village at the foot of the mountain on the left, with at least one or two hundred households, and on the right, going up, there were towering mountains.

There was a stone tablet at the intersection ahead. Lin Qiye walked forward and came to the stone tablet.

This is a general's arrow. In those days, many people in the countryside were superstitious.

Moreover, medical technology was backward and many children died of illness.

So they would ask someone to make a stone tablet and engrave on it "The arrow is blocked by the tablet, the bow is opened and the string is broken."

At the bottom of the stone tablet, there is an arrow pointing the way engraved. It can be placed at the bridge head or at a fork in the road to ward off evil and avoid disasters, and can ensure that children grow up safely. This kind of stone tablet is called the General's Arrow.

Lin Qiye stepped forward and carefully looked at the signpost on the stone tablet.

The road on the left leads to the big village called Qinjia Village, and the road on the right is the mountain road into Qinjialing.

Lin Qiye did not hesitate, turned right and walked towards the road leading into the mountains.

On the outskirts of the mountains, Lin Qiye could still meet some farmers collecting firewood and cutting grass. After going a few thousand meters into the mountains, the number of people became sparse and the forests became extremely dense.

Lin Qiye began to rely on the hunting master skills rewarded by the system, as well as his sense of smell and hearing that far surpassed that of ordinary people, to search for traces of prey.

Now, after receiving the reward from the system, it is no exaggeration to say that Lin Qiye’s hunting ability is comparable to that of an experienced professional hunter who has been hunting for decades.

Coupled with his super sense of smell and hearing, he is even much better than such professional hunters.

Not long after walking, Lin Qiye discovered a pile of animal feces on the ground in front of him.

Lin Qiye walked up to the feces, squatted down, and found a branch to dig out the feces.

This is a pile of wild boar feces, and judging from its freshness, it must have been left there last night.

Judging from the size of the feces, this wild boar is quite large, weighing at least several hundred pounds.

Lin Qiye was happy and instantly became interested. If he could kill a wild boar weighing hundreds of pounds today, he would be rich.

After all, a wild boar weighing hundreds of pounds can be sold for at least one or two hundred yuan, which is nearly half a year's salary for an ordinary office worker.

Moreover, although it is only the beginning of 1959, the three-year natural disaster has already begun to take shape, and even many remote rural areas are now suffering from famine.

Although the country is still making great efforts to provide disaster relief, the national treasury is already limited. By that time, not to mention meat, even food may not be available for purchase.

Lin Qiye had to think about the future. He promised to give his wife and daughter a good life and he couldn't let them starve.

If I can't make my family live a good life, then I, a person who traveled through time and space with the system, will have a miserable life.

If you kill a wild boar weighing several hundred pounds and then make it into cured meat, it will be enough to eat for seven or eight months.

Thinking in his mind, Lin Qiye carefully observed his surroundings, trying to find out the direction the wild boar had left based on the surrounding traces and continue tracking it.
