Siheyuan: I just want to live

Chapter 52: Return to Mentougou Mountain Area

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the end of the month. Tomorrow is Saturday, which is also the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, commonly known as the "Little New Year".

After the last meeting of the whole hospital, Jia Zhang was taken away by the relevant departments for investigation. Although Yi Zhonghai ran around, he failed to rescue her. From the next day, Jia Zhang was arranged by Director Wang to work with other personnel to repair the houses that collapsed due to the snowstorm, and her life became unusually fulfilling.

Sun Xiaojuan's house was repaired on Laba Day, and they moved out on the same day. The next Saturday, Zheng Guoan specially invited Chen Feng to a state-owned restaurant for a meal to express his gratitude to Chen Feng for taking in his family.

Jia Zhang was released and went home on the weekend. When she returned to the courtyard, she saw Chen Feng and gnashed her teeth in hatred. She even wanted to rush forward and bite Chen Feng twice. The anger in her triangular eyes was not concealed at all.

Chen Feng still went to get off work on time every day. During this period, Sha Zhu tried to find an opportunity to put a sack on Chen Feng, but he never succeeded. Similarly, Yi Zhonghai never found a good opportunity to discipline Chen Feng.

However, Chen Feng was extremely busy in this short month. He had already harvested more than 6,000 kilograms of corn from his field, which was a considerable amount! Then, he planted a crop of wheat without stopping, and now the wheat seedlings had grown slightly above his ankles.

Chen Feng also put a group of rabbits into the field. After a period of breeding, there are now more than a hundred rabbits of all sizes. These little guys have an amazing appetite, and the cabbage Chen Feng bought is simply in short supply and cannot keep up with their eating speed.

Chen Feng did not have high expectations for this season's wheat. He would be satisfied as long as he could harvest enough seeds for the next planting. Currently, there was no other suitable food to feed the rabbits, so he could only maintain the status quo.

In addition, Chen Feng squeezed nearly 150 kilograms of oil from the soybeans in the space, and the remaining soybeans were enough to sow another season. With so much oil, Chen Feng would have more than enough to use for a year, and he no longer had to keep an eye on when the oil bottle at home would run out.

The small fish in the pond have grown a lot now, and some of the big ones have grown to about two kilograms. There will be one more dish on the New Year's table.

...........................................................................

Today is the end of the month, and tomorrow is the annual Little New Year. As early as yesterday, Station Master Li notified everyone in advance that wages would be paid this morning, and if there was nothing else to do in the afternoon, they could go home and rest first, without returning to work.

In fact, the entire factory will basically not be working this afternoon. Take the steel mill as an example. Due to the large number of employees, the task of paying wages alone will take a whole afternoon. In contrast, the number of people at the scrap yard is relatively small, and the wage payment process can be completed within half an hour before the noon shift ends.

The scrap yard has always adhered to the concept that everyone is a worker of the state. As long as the wages are paid, there is no need to continue working that day, just like other factories.

After receiving his salary, Chen Feng did not rush home, but randomly found a snack bar on the street and ordered some simple food. He chewed the food slowly, but his mind had already flown far away.

After dinner, Chen Feng rode his bicycle westward out of the city. He wanted to try his luck in the Mentougou mountain area to see if he could encounter some unlucky prey. The reason he chose to go to Mentougou instead of Changping was because he was really afraid of encountering a tiger again. The last experience left him with lingering fears, and he still remembers it vividly.

Chen Feng walked along the familiar mountain road until he came to the place he had been to last time. It was already past five in the afternoon when he finally arrived at the pond. Along the way, he did not gain anything and did not even see a shadow.

The water that Chen Feng took away last time has not been refilled yet because it is winter. Perhaps only when spring comes and the ice and snow on the mountain melt, the pool will be filled again. Chen Feng stood by the pool, feeling a little emotional.

Chen Feng walked slowly around the pond mouth, carefully checking for any animal footprints, but found nothing. He stared at the huge pit in front of him, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly realized. Because the water in the pond was too far away from the pond mouth, the animals could not drink water here, and naturally would not visit this place again, so their footprints could not be found!

After searching the pond in vain, Chen Feng picked up the Thompson submachine gun in his hand and walked carefully towards the bear cave he encountered last time. When he approached the cave, he took out a grenade from the space and threw it in without hesitation.

After a loud bang, the whole cave was filled with smoke and dust. Chen Feng waited patiently for a while, and after making sure there was no danger, he held the gun, turned on the flashlight, and slowly walked into the cave.

The cave was empty, with no other animals living there. Moreover, the disgusting smell from last time had disappeared without a trace. Chen Feng cleaned the cave briefly and decided to stay there tonight.

After some effort, Chen Feng finally cleaned the cave thoroughly. Then, he carefully piled up some corn stalks, which not only effectively prevented moisture but also played a good role in heat preservation.

After everything was ready, Chen Feng entered the space and skillfully fried a rabbit weighing more than one pound, and paired it with steamed buns for dinner. After a hearty meal, Chen Feng moved some stones to block the entrance of the cave, then put on his coat and crawled into the warm nest made of corn stalks.

The next morning, the cold hit and Chen Feng woke up from the cold. He walked out of the cave and looked up at the sky, only to find that it was still dark. He looked at his watch and saw that it was just past four o'clock. It was still early.

Chen Feng stretched his body and then quickly slipped into the space. He first took a comfortable hot bath to fully relax his body and mind. Then, he enjoyed a hearty breakfast.

After completing this series of actions, Chen Feng left the space. At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and he stepped on the narrow path in the morning light, continuing to move forward towards the mountains.

The products in the mountains are indeed more abundant than those in other places. By noon, Chen Feng had already caught five or six rabbits and more than twenty pheasants. Perhaps it was because he left home early that he was able to have such a harvest!

At noon, after Chen Feng had lunch in the space, he did not rush out, but rested for more than an hour. After all, he had been walking for the whole morning and was already exhausted.

After resting, Chen Feng picked up his gun again and continued to move forward.

When he walked into a valley, he suddenly found a group of black shadows swaying in front of him. Chen Feng looked closely and found that it was a group of wild boars, and there were quite a few of them, more than a dozen of them, big and small.

Chen Feng quickly checked the guns and ammunition, then approached them cautiously.

When the distance was closer, Chen Feng swiftly climbed up a thick tree. He tied himself tightly to the trunk with a rope, then raised the Thompson submachine gun in his hand and fired at the pigs without hesitation. After three magazines were emptied in a row, the wild boars were frightened and fled in all directions.

Only then did Chen Feng come down from the tree. He quickly replaced the new magazine, carefully approached the place where he had just fired, and carefully checked the results of this round of attack.

Satisfactorily, this shooting achieved quite good results. Two of the smaller wild boars died on the spot, and the other three larger wild boars were also seriously injured. The two smaller ones weighed about 70 to 80 kilograms, and among the three large ones, the largest one looked to be more than 300 kilograms, and the other two were slightly smaller, but also weighed more than 200 kilograms.

Chen Feng skillfully shot the prey again and put them all into the space. He glanced at his watch and found that it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Considering that it was getting late and there might be more danger ahead, Chen Feng decided not to go deeper and instead walked out of the mountain along the way he came. After all, if he didn't return in time, he might not be able to return to Sijiu City on time tomorrow.

Chen Feng walked along the way he came until dark. After observing the surroundings, he found no place to camp nearby. So Chen Feng entered the space and slept in it tonight.

After finishing dinner in the space, Chen Feng took a comfortable hot bath. As his body relaxed, he felt a wave of tiredness coming over him, so he climbed onto the bed and lay down, and soon fell asleep.

When he opened his eyes again, Chen Feng subconsciously glanced at the watch on his wrist and found that it was already past seven o'clock. He couldn't help but be a little surprised that he had slept for so long. Thinking carefully, more than thirteen hours had passed since he entered the space. Chen Feng got up in a hurry, washed up simply, ate a few bites of food casually, and left the space.

However, the moment he stepped out of the space, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. It was pitch black all around, as if he was in an endless night. Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something and slapped his forehead hard. It turned out that he had forgotten that the speed of time passing in the space was different from that in the real world. The more than thirteen hours spent in the space were actually only equivalent to more than three hours in reality!

Faced with this situation, Chen Feng fell into deep thought. It was obviously impossible to continue moving forward. Walking in the wild at night was not only dangerous, but also easy to get lost. In desperation, he had to return to the space and wait.

For the next twenty hours, Chen Feng wasted time in the space. He would eat a meal every once in a while to kill time. Finally, when the sky was slightly light, Chen Feng took steps to go home again.

This time, he carefully followed the road he had come from, and only walked out of the mountain area and onto the road outside at sunset. Chen Feng did not dare to delay, and immediately took out his bicycle and headed towards Sijiu City.
