Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

"Sister, you eat here, I'll go take a look."

Li Damei put down the pancake and went straight to the storefront where Yang Xiaowei had just come out. She pushed the door but it didn't open, so she knocked. Two young men came out and looked at Li Damei warily: "What are you doing?"

"Looking for my partner, Yang Xiaowei."

"He just left."

Li Damei saw through the crack in the door that people were playing cards at two tables inside. There was money in front of each person and the whole room was filled with smoke. Her heart sank at that moment. This was a fucking gambling den.

Li Damei came back in a daze. Liu Xia Lian had a clear memory that after Li Damei got married, her husband was arrested and sentenced for gambling within two years. Li Damei had to endure the hardship with her son and daughter. Her life was extremely miserable.

After the meal, the two of them got on the mule cart. Damei was absent-minded.

"Damei, what's wrong? You look so distraught."

"My partner seems to be gambling. What should I do?"

"Maybe she's just here for fun. When you find a chance to ask her and communicate with her mother-in-law, you'll know everything. Anyway, you haven't gotten married yet, so you have plenty of ways out. Why are you worrying? It's hard to find a three-legged frog, but it's easy to find a three-legged man."

Li Damei was puzzled, not understanding what Liu Xialian meant by the three-legged man. Suddenly she understood and her face turned red with shame.

Liu Xia Lian is different. She has lived two lives and is now an old lady in her sixties or seventies. She has seen everything.

"Hahaha, Sister Xia Lian, you, you."

"Don't think about it. Let's go. Making money is the most important thing. It's better to have money yourself than to have it from your parents."

There were many vendors on the roadside ahead, all of them were villagers from nearby. An old hunter with gray hair was leading a Northeastern Hound and selling dogs there. It was a long-haired yellow hound, a big male dog, about 70 centimeters tall, with a short neck, strong limbs, a big and thick tail, and looked to weigh about 70 or 80 kilograms.

Liu Xia Lian didn’t know how to choose a dog, but it was obvious that this dog had a red halo on its head.

"Old man, how do you sell this hound?"

The old man sighed, "If you really want thirty dollars, you can take it away. This dog can kill a wild boar weighing more than 100 kilograms, and it can also kill a deer or roe deer. If I wasn't old, I really wouldn't want to sell it. My son insisted on taking me to the city."

Liu Xia Lian carefully touched the dog's head. This dog didn't mean any harm. Because hounds often hunt in groups, they are friendly to hunters and hunting dogs.

"The dog is a good one, but it's too expensive. Ordinary people can't even make 30 yuan a month."

"I sold it at such a high price to prevent dog meat vendors from buying it for meat. What did you two girls buy this hound for?"

"Old man, don't look down on girls. I go hunting in the mountains all year round, and I have caught black bears and wild boars. If you pay less, I will take it back. I like this hound and it is a good match."

"Let's put it this way. Twenty-five. It can't be any less. This is a leader dog. He has experience in leading a team. If there are three or five hounds, he can command them."

"Okay, old man, count the money."

The old man took the money, wrapped it in a handkerchief and hid it close to his body, then untied the hunting dog's rope with tears in his eyes.

"Girl, it's an old rule here that we don't sell ropes when we sell dogs. You can buy one from the side."

I bought a cowhide collar and a thin iron chain, and also a spiked collar and a nylon rope.

The old man gave a thumbs up and praised: "Young people are still willing to spend money. The anti-choke collar is very useful, especially when fighting wolves, it doubles the fighting power."

The old man reluctantly gave the big yellow dog to Liu Xialian, and kept making arrangements: "Go and enjoy life at the new owner's home. I am old and cannot take you into the mountains. Go and do your best."

The big yellow dog rubbed back and forth on the old man's legs, and then followed Liu Xia Lian onto the mule cart.

After all, it was a new dog, so a cowhide collar and an iron chain were put on it. However, the dog was quite obedient. It lay there and stuck out its tongue for fun along the way, and would occasionally glance at the two of them.

Li Damei took the leftover corn tortillas from the past two mornings. She said she would not eat them when they were in her hand, but only started to eat them after putting them in the car.

When they were halfway there, they took a break in a Chinese forest. Suddenly, they saw the big yellow dog became alert and started wagging its tail wildly at something not far away.

Liu Xia Lian looked up and saw that it was a silly roe deer jumping around. The roe deer was very curious and found it strange to see the mule eating grass, so it came closer to take a look.

"Why don't we try this rhubarb? Roe deer are fat now, and they are delicious when used to make dumplings," Liu Xia Lian suggested.

"Okay, this roe deer weighs about 50 to 60 kilograms, we should be able to catch it."

As soon as Dahuang was untied, it ran out in a flash. The roe deer didn't know how to run yet and just stood there cutely, looking with its head tilted. When it noticed the hunting dogs, it was too late. After running a few dozen meters, Dahuang grabbed its throat and it immediately fell to the ground and rolled over.

"What the old man said is indeed true. This hound can kill a deer alone."

Liu Xia Lian went over and picked up the roe deer. It was a male roe deer, quite heavy, weighing about 60 kilograms.

Li Damei praised: "Sister, I will hold you tightly in the future. You are the one chosen by the God of Luck. You got up early to sell goods, encountered robbers, caught a fugitive, and on the way back, spent twenty-five to buy a big dog. Before I got home, I earned it back for you. I understand why you are willing to spend money, because your money is getting more and more."

"There is no such thing as a god of luck. I just tried harder. Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. Let's go home and make dumplings."

The big black mule worked hard to move forward. When it saw the door of the house, it cried twice. The eldest sister came over with the child in her arms and opened the gate. The mule pulled the cart straight into the yard.

My mother came out too, and saw a big yellow dog wagging its tail on the mule cart. She asked, "Why did you bring back such a big dog?"

"Well, this is sold by an old hunter. It's a hunting dog. Nowadays, it's either bears or wolves. It's not safe at night. With a big dog guarding the house, you can sleep peacefully at night."

"Oh, I killed a roe deer. It's really fat."

"It was bitten by a hunting dog on the way back. Big sister, look at what's on this car?"

When the eldest sister came over, she saw there were so many things, including blankets, quilt covers, thermos, and radio.

"Dangdangdang, here's a Shanghai brand watch for forty dollars. It's a supplement to your dowry."

My eldest sister got married last spring. At that time, my younger brother Liu Jingwen fell seriously ill and the family savings were spent, which greatly reduced my sister's dowry. This is a small regret.

My sister's nose felt sore and tears came down.

"Look at you, tears are free, you cry for no reason, you are deficient in energy and blood, go see a doctor these days."

"It's okay, second sister. I am touched."
