Siheyuan: All the incense in the family is counting on you

Hearing what Li Bowen said, the hunter also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, they had brought him cotton and cloth as agreed, but he hadn't gotten any wild boars or roe deer, so he felt a little guilty. Now that he heard Li Bowen say that he just needed pheasants and rabbits, he felt happy.

"That's great. I have already prepared the pheasants and rabbits. I will take them with me when I go back." said Hu the hunter.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Hu!" Li Bowen nodded happily, and then asked, "When can we see wild boars or something?"

Hunter Hu looked out the window, thought for a moment and then answered, "It's hard to say. We don't know if it will snow in the next few days. If it snows heavily, wild boars will leave traces when they come out to look for food. We can follow these traces and find them easily. But if it doesn't snow, we can only go up the mountain and try our luck."

It has been a long time since it rained, so it is really not easy to snow. However, no one can do anything about what God has done.

Li Bowen nodded: "Then let's see. It's okay if we can't get it! Anyway, our factory will have plenty to use next year!"

"Well, okay, don't worry. Anyway, there's nothing to do right now. I'll go to the mountain every now and then. If I see them, they won't be able to run away!"

"Then you take care of it!"

The two chatted for a while, and then Li Bowen stood up to say goodbye. It was cold now, so there was no need to go down to the cellar. The hunter directly took out the packed pheasants and rabbits from the room and let Li Bowen take them away.

After returning to the fox's house, he threw the rabbit and a pheasant to the fox's wife and asked her to stew them. He loaded the remaining chicken into the car, which he would take back to make soup for Chen Qiao to nourish her body.

They had a simple lunch at noon, and the fox came back pulling the cart when it got dark in the evening.

This guy has been eating well recently and has obviously become stronger. When he puts on a thick cotton coat, he looks like a big bear and does not live up to his nickname of a fox at all.

They unloaded the exchanged items from the truck, and the stewed meat was also out of the pot. Seeing the meat on the table, Fox took out a bottle of Shaodaozi and poured half a bowl for Li Bowen and himself.

After taking a sip, Li Bowen immediately put down the bowl and couldn't help but exclaimed: "This wine is too strong!" The strong liquor flowed down his throat, as if he had swallowed a razor blade, and it felt as uncomfortable as if it was burning.

The fox seemed to be used to it and picked up the bowl and drank from it in big gulps.

The four of them sat around the table, enjoying the food and chatting happily. At some point the topic turned to the procurement mission of Li Bowen's era. The fox suddenly remembered something and said to Li Bowen, "Mosquito, when I went to exchange food these two days, I heard that Changling Commune raised a lot of pigs. Why don't you go over and take a look? Maybe you can get a few back."

"Is it true?" Li Bowen's eyes lit up and he became excited after hearing this.

"The man who told me about this has a wife from over there, so I can be sure of that!" the fox replied.

When Li Bowen heard this, he thought to himself that it would be great if he could find pigs in Changling Commune.

"Then we have to go and see, do you have any acquaintances in Changling Commune?" Li Bowen asked.

The fox shook his head: "There really isn't any, I can only go and look for it blindly!"

Li Bowen thought about it and decided that this was a good option. After all, he had the letter of introduction from the factory, and as long as their commune had any extra ones, he would definitely be able to buy it.

So he said to the fox, "That's fine. I have a letter of introduction from the factory anyway. As long as they have extra ones and offer a high price, I should be able to get them. Come with me tomorrow to take a look! If there are any, we can decide on a few first."

The fox nodded in agreement, and the two agreed to go to Changling Commune together the next morning.

After dinner, Li Bowen and his wife rode their bikes home.

It was completely dark at this time. They walked along the country road. There was silence all around them, only the whistling sound of the cold wind blowing through the fields.

Li Bowen suddenly felt a piercing chill rising from his spine, as if a pair of cold hands were caressing his back. He couldn't help but shiver, and the hairs on his body stood up involuntarily.

He wondered in his heart: Is it because I drank too much alcohol that my body heat dissipated too quickly, so I felt so cold? Thinking of this, he quickly wrapped his cotton jacket tightly around himself, hoping to resist the cold.

"Are you cold, my dear? Wrap yourself tightly with the quilt!" Li Bowen said as he turned around to look at Chen Qiao who was sitting in the truck bed.

"Yeah, I'm fine, I'm not cold!" Chen Qiao responded. She didn't seem to feel the same chill as Li Bowen.

However, after a while, Li Bowen found that the feeling of coldness did not lessen, but became stronger. He began to worry, wondering what was going on. So he subconsciously turned his head and looked back.

It didn't matter when I looked, I saw four small lights flickering in the darkness not far behind my tricycle. What was that?

Li Bowen's heart was filled with alarm bells, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

“Is this a wolf?” he thought to himself.

It was a time of famine, and not only were humans facing a food shortage, but even wild animals were having trouble finding enough food. Could it be that these two green-skinned beasts were unable to catch prey in the mountains, so they ventured down the mountain to look for humans?

Thinking of this, Li Bowen's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

In his two lifetimes, except in the zoo, this was the first time that Li Bowen had seen a wild wolf! If it was just him, it would be fine, he could fight the wolf, but now Chen Qiao was in the car with him, it would be bad if Chen Qiao was hurt!

In this cold winter, Li Bowen's palms were sweating from nervousness. He cursed himself in his heart. When Corey said he would be equipped with a gun, why didn't he take it? He had to carry his throwing knives. Throwing knives are useful against people, but they are definitely not as effective as guns against wolves.

When I go back this time, I must get two guns from the security department, one long gun and one pistol.

However, now is not the time to think about these things. Li Bowen pulled out three flying knives from his waist, grasped them in his right hand, then turned back and said to Chen Qiao: "Wife, I feel the wind is a bit cold. You should shrink into the truck bed and cover your head with a quilt. It will be warmer."

Chen Qiao responded and shrank back into the truck bed, covering her head and face with the quilt, leaving only her eyes exposed.

Li Bowen took a deep breath, held the flying knife tightly, and stared ahead vigilantly. He felt a dangerous aura approaching, and he had to protect Chen Qiao and himself.

As time passed, Li Bowen's heartbeat became faster and faster, but the two wolves following behind him did not pounce on him.

The lights of the village could be vaguely seen in the distance, and Li Bowen breathed a sigh of relief and was no longer so nervous.

But at this moment, two wolves suddenly jumped out from not far in front of him. Damn, they are going to attack me from the front and back!
