Reborn in 1963: I Hunted and Stockpiled Meat During a Famine

Chapter 36 This trivial matter is not discussed in the next chapter.

“I can go. I’ve overcome much more serious challenges than this, so this little thing is nothing.”

Qin Qiming didn't say anything more. Since Qin Kang had said so, he really had to let him go and take a look.

If he and the village chief were to search alone, they would be running around like headless flies, and it would take them forever to find those two places.

Sometimes, searching blindly is not as efficient as having someone point out a few places.

Without further hesitation, they shouldered their guns, took ropes, packed rations, and prepared to head into the mountains.

As soon as I stepped out the door, I bumped into someone head-on.

Liu Dacui, panting, handed over two crucian carp. "Brother Qiming, these are two fish I brought back from Grandma's house. I'll make you some soup!"

Qin Qiming was wearing a leather jacket, which showed off his fit physique.

Liu Dacui swallowed.

I went to his house with the fish to look for him, but only **Min was washing clothes in the yard.

She wasn't about to hand the fish over to that slut. After finding out that Qin Qiming was with the village chief, she came running over.

As a result, Qin Qiming didn't even bother to come closer and glance at her.

Just let her take it and hang it on her door.

Liu Dacui raised her hand and wiped her mouth.

I'll have to think about this carefully when I get back, see if I can come up with any way to get Brother Ercheng to pay attention to me...

As soon as they left the village, Qin Hao rushed over in a hurry.

"Second brother, why did you suddenly run back to the village? You must have come all the way from the mountains in the dark, right?" The village chief asked with a furrowed brow as he looked at Qin Hao who was rushing over.

"Father, something terrible has happened!" Qin Hao gasped for breath.

"What happened? Don't panic, take it slow!" The village chief quickly reassured Qin Hao, signaling him to catch his breath.

Qin Hao took several deep breaths, and the cold air he inhaled calmed him down a little.

"A major incident happened in Baijia Village last night!"

"Baijia Village? What happened again?" the village chief asked in surprise.

"Yesterday, just before dark, screams came from quite a distance from the village, followed shortly by gunshots. The villagers immediately grabbed their weapons and rushed over, only to find people dead!"

"How did you die?" the village chief pressed.

"It looked like the person had been eaten by wild animals in the mountains, but it was too dark to see clearly. The villagers took the person back, and I found these few things nearby before they left."

As Qin Hao spoke, he took out a few bullet casings from his pocket and handed them to the village chief.

The village chief took the bullet casing, and the more he looked at it, the more his brows furrowed.

"Uncle Tian, ​​what's the story behind this?" Qin Qiming asked from the side.

"These two can be used as a lasso, they're pistols."

"Those guys, the Blue-Faced Demon!" Qin Qiming immediately realized, "Are they causing trouble again?"

“That’s right, it’s them.” The village chief looked at Qin Hao, his expression turning serious: “Did you check the person you found last night? Did you see any bullet holes in his body?”

"We checked, and his body was covered in bites, so we couldn't find any bullet wounds."

"Did the person who was killed also discover something they shouldn't have, just like Uncle Bai?"

Qin Qiming felt there was something sinister about this matter.

"The Blue-Faced Ghost has been hiding for so long, why is he being so active now?" Qin Qiming was a little confused.

"That's possible. In that case, the Green-Faced Demon's hideout should not be far from Baijia Village, otherwise they wouldn't have been making moves there all the time."

Qin Qiming felt that something was off: "Uncle Tian, ​​what kind of person is the Blue-Faced Ghost you know?"

"He's slippery, impossible to touch or get close to, and he hides himself well; nobody knows where he is."

Qin Qiming nodded: "Do you think the Blue-Faced Ghost would be so blatant as to cause trouble in Baijia Village and lure people there?"

The village chief, Qin Kang, and Qin Hao were all stunned when they heard this, feeling like their brains couldn't process it.

"Qiming, what do you mean by this?"

Qin Qiming sorted out his thoughts and said, "Remember, the last time Uncle Bai had an accident, it was outside Baijia Village, and this time it's outside again. Judging from the bullets Brother Hao just picked up, do you guys think it's possible that those people deliberately set a trap for us?"

Qin Kang seemed to be getting the gist of it: "You mean, this was all planned by Green-Faced Ghost and his gang, leading us by the nose? Making everyone think they're just lurking around on the edge of Baijia Village?"

"Who knows? I'm just guessing based on the character of those Green-Faced Ghosts. It seems like they're deliberately leading us that way!"

"What the hell is that damned blue-faced devil up to? He doesn't care about the lives of us mountain people at all, and he's even leading others to go over there!"

"Today it's Baijia Village, tomorrow it could be another village." The village chief couldn't contain his anger: "If we don't deal with these beasts, how can we have a peaceful life in these mountains!"

The village chief looked at Qin Hao, and his anger subsided a little.

"Okay, you've gotten smarter and more careful now, you know to bring the things back."

"Hehe." Qin Hao scratched the back of his head: "I'm not that stupid."

"Alright, let's go home and rest. The rest of us will go up the mountain first."

"What? Up the mountain!"

Qin Hao looked at Qin Qiming and the others, utterly astonished: "Father, with so many things happening on the mountain right now, what if something goes wrong if you go up there now..."

"Hey, kid, can't you think of your old man for once?" the village chief spat. "Now that you're back, take a rest. There are dozens of people in Baijia Village. Whether you're there or not, things will run as usual. By the way, how's the Bai family's matter going?"

"The burial took place yesterday, and everything has been taken care of. My wife is staying at home with her mother and hasn't come back yet."

"Okay, go back. You've been working really hard lately, take a break."

"Don't rest, I'm still very healthy!" Qin Hao said hurriedly. "Father, it's just the three of you going into the mountains. If something happens and we don't have enough manpower, I'll go with you!"

Go eat your food!

"Dad, wait for me!"

In the end, Qin Hao caught up, carrying a few flatbreads in his pocket, and walked up the mountain while munching on them.

No more young people from the village joined in; too many people would make things complicated and could easily expose the scheme.

Unlike the last time when the five of them went into the mountains, this time Qin Qiming walked in front, Qin Kang was still not fully recovered, and Qin Hao, who had run back to the village to report before dawn, was in the middle, with the village chief bringing up the rear.

"Qiming, slow down, your brother Kang can't keep up!"

The village chief shouted from behind, and Qin Qiming stopped and waited for the people behind him to catch up.

"Qiming, with more people going into the mountains, don't stretch out the process too much. Otherwise, if something happens, we won't be able to keep up with everyone, and even a small matter can turn into a big one."

Once the three men caught up, the village chief continued, "Later, you and Lao San can switch places and let him go first. You're careful, so take good care of your brother Kang."

Qin Qiming looked at Qin Kang and saw that his breathing was much heavier. He immediately realized that he had not considered things thoroughly enough this time.
