The tall fat man was angry. He took the gun off his back and tried to pull the bolt, but Liu Xialian threw him over her shoulder and threw him heavily to the ground. The hunting rifle was also thrown into the snow. The rifle was pointed at the tall fat man's head: "Boy, do you believe that you can see your own brains before you die?"

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of hand, Boss Chen's two bodyguards hurried over to persuade them: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, all misunderstanding. This may be their catchphrase. Boss Liu is magnanimous, please let him go."

As soon as Wang Shao and the short man behind him raised their guns, they were pointed at by Daya, Erya, Li Shaoling, Li Hu and Xu Xiong.

Young Master Wang immediately became scared. The hunting rifle was fine, as it was a product of the last few decades. As for the two crossbows, they were probably some kind of magical item from the Qing Dynasty. If one of them went off accidentally and he died in the mountains, how unfair that would be.

"Fatty Wang, Dazhuang Xu, put your guns down."

Although the two were reluctant, they had no choice but to put down their weapons because of the situation.

Liu Xia Lian was not polite at all. She went over and confiscated the three hunting rifles. She also found a Type 54 rifle stuffed inside Fatty Wang's clothes and a short knife on Xu Dazhuang's trouser leg, all of which were confiscated.

Liu Xia Lian put away the gun and said to Wang Shao: "What's your name? I don't have the habit of calling people Master?"

"My name is Wang Yong. We just call each other that for fun. It's been many years since the liberation. There's no such thing as a young master. The fat one is Fatty Wang, and the strong one is Xu Dazhuang."

"You are a smart person. I like dealing with smart people. We are here to rescue people entrusted by Boss Chen. We will complete the mission by taking you out. So you must follow my arrangements along the way. Otherwise, I can't guarantee your safety. Do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand. It was all a misunderstanding. Fatty Wang just has a foul mouth. I've told him many times, but he never learns his lesson."

"Okay, let's eat, and then we'll set off right after we finish eating. We must travel ten miles before dark, and then find a place that's easy to defend and hard to attack to spend the night."

The air-dried roe deer meat will taste a bit salty when boiled in water, but it is simple and quick to prepare. After eating two or three taels of dried meat, each person will feel full of energy.

Li Hu looked at the wolf carcasses scattered all over the ground and felt very sorry: "What a pity, there are dozens of wolves. Their skins can be sold for a lot of money."

But he also understood that there was no way to take them away in this situation. The climate in the mountains could change at any time. If it suddenly snowed and froze, the guns would not work. If they encountered a wolf pack at this time, they would be dead.

Three hunting dogs were on guard in front, Liu Xia Lian led the way, and Daya and Erya kept a close eye on Wang Shao. If he dared to make any dangerous moves, they would be hacked to death on the spot.

The team formed a long snake formation and slowly returned the way they came.

The road was difficult to travel on and the pace was very slow. We only walked six or seven miles until the sun was setting. The wolves behind us were howling, making people feel annoyed and confused.

This is the wolf pack's tactic of tiring the enemy out. If the enemy is distracted, a surprise attack can have a very good effect.

Liu Xia Lian said, "Don't be afraid, this is the wolf pack holding a memorial service. Don't pay attention to them. Let's walk faster. Remember there is a cave ahead."

After walking another three miles, it was completely dark. A wide open snowy plain appeared in the jungle. There was a cave on the edge of a cliff, about the height of a person. Usually, people who went hunting in the mountains often came here to spend the night, but it was winter now, and there was no one there at all.

Liu Xialian looked inside and found no wild animals at all, but Li Hu didn't know that, so he lit a firecracker and threw it in, and heard a loud bang. A fox eagle flew out, cursing, and although no one knew what it was cursing, it was definitely very dirty.

Liu Xia Lian pointed to the cave and said, "We will camp tonight, clear the snow, prepare firewood, and build fortifications."

Boss Chen's two bodyguards were also quite capable. They helped cut down tree trunks with axes and made simple wooden spikes to prevent wild animals from attacking at night. Wang Yong, Fatty Wang, and Xu Dazhuang cleared snow, punched tree stumps, and pulled wire.

The wolves suffered a great loss during the day, and given their nature, they would definitely come back to take revenge at night.

When we entered the mountain, we brought two large pieces of sewn leather with us. The tent we were going to build was also very simple. Several tree trunks were made into a cone shape, with leather edges and a skylight on the top. A small fire in the tent was enough to cope with the sharp drop in temperature at night.

Boss Chen's two bodyguards used a piece of canvas to make a small tent. As for the tent they originally brought, it was lost on the way.

Liu Xia Lian, Daya and Erya were in one tent, Li Shaoling, Li Hu and Xu Xiong were in one tent, the two bodyguards were in one tent, and the three from Beijing were in one tent.

Three bonfires were lit, and the temperature rose instantly. Now there were eleven, and the roe deer meat was obviously not enough.

Li Shaoling and Li Hu went out with guns. About half an hour later, they brought back a processed roe deer, weighing about 40 kilograms of meat.

Daya and Erya were carving wooden sticks and putting the meat on skewers. There was plenty of meat and everyone got several skewers. Soon the tent was filled with fragrance.

The only thing was that the bonfire lit by the three people in the cave was not good, and their barbecue skills were also poor, it was horrible.

Wang Yong shamelessly brought the skewers of meat to Liu Xia Lian to grill. Although roe deer meat is delicious, it must be grilled thoroughly. If it is half-cooked, people will get sick if they eat it. For example, hunting dogs often eat raw meat, so they need to be dewormed every few months, otherwise there will be terrible parasites in their bodies.

Rhubarb is better cooked and can be eaten cooked as long as the conditions are met.

As the sky gradually darkened, Wang Yong tried to get closer to Liu Xia Lian.

"Sister, you have such great kung fu skills. Who did you learn this from?"

"It's a family tradition, a farming skill, not worth mentioning."

"I came to the mountains to look for a spiritual fruit for my grandfather, called the Blood Spiritual Fruit. How about this? You and your team continue to accompany me in the mountains to look for it."

"I've never seen it, nor heard of it. What do I want to do with it? Is it delicious?"

"My grandfather is over seventy years old and has cirrhosis of the liver, which has reached a point where it is out of control. An old Chinese doctor in Beijing recommended this medicine. Just one pill is enough to alleviate my grandfather's condition. I hope you can help me. The money is easy to negotiate. I will get you 30,000 yuan when we get to the city."

Liu Xia Lian looked at Wang Yong. The children in the big compound might not be very filial, but the old man was of great use. As long as the old man was alive and well, the old connections were still there, which would be of great benefit to the development of future generations.

For example, if Liu Xia Lian’s grandfather had not died in 1949, she would have been a child of a wealthy family and would not have had to work as a farmer in a remote rural area.

Liu Xia Lian shook her head: "Life and death are determined by fate. Isn't it a good choice to accept one's fate? It is rare for a person to live to seventy, so living to seventy is not a loss."

"My grandfather carried a gun and fought for the people."

Daya next to her said with disdain: "There are many people who have carried guns. My sister's grandfather also carried a gun. My great-grandfather was an officer of the Qing Dynasty. There are hundreds of people in Lijiatun who have carried guns."
