"Stay away, wolves are cunning and treacherous creatures. Don't be fooled by their age; the older they get, the more deceitful they become. With their long lives come experience, making them harder to deal with than ordinary wolves. It's better to use a gun; it's safer that way."
Yu Songbai suddenly realized, Uncle Chen's words were like a revelation. He took the advice and picked up his hunting rifle, pulling the trigger to put down the old lone wolf.
Afterward, the group removed the wolf's body from the beast trap and tossed it onto the sled before continuing on their way.
Upon reaching the village and bidding farewell to Uncle Chen, they kept their promise and headed to Wang Daye's home.
"Wang Daye, open up!"
Their journey had been fruitful, and Wang Zhaoran's tone was filled with excitement.
When Wang Daye opened the door, his eyes lit up. The first thing he saw was the shiny black bear skin on the sled. He hunched over, trembling with anticipation as he reached down to touch the bear skin.
"Young folks are impressive, truly impressive!"
Having hunted all his life, he knew just how difficult it was to acquire such a trophy. The bear's thick hide meant that even a direct shot from a hunting rifle might only graze its surface without causing serious harm.
"Wang Daye, we brought back your roe deer as promised," Wang Zhaoran said as he unloaded the roe deer from the sled and hoisted it onto his shoulder to bring into the yard.
Wang Daye didn't stand on ceremony; his old bones could no longer handle climbing mountains for hunting.
"Honestly, I could really use this!"
"Yu Songbai, Wang Zhaoran, let's take the back roads home! With so many animals, it wouldn't be right for everyone in the village to see them. If we don't divide them up properly, it could cause trouble. Didn’t Grandma say she wanted to treat everyone in the village to a feast? We can all eat together then!"
Yu Qingsong considered this reasoning; there were all kinds of people in the village, and avoiding complications was wise.
"Wang Zhaoran, are there people living over there?"
Yu Qingsong pointed toward a row of simple houses not far away.
"Oh, big brother, that's the cattle shed—it's where some people who have made mistakes are sent to live."
"Oh, do you know who all is in there?"
Yu Songbai is quite a character; he can insert himself into any conversation, anywhere. I heard there's the director of Hu City General Hospital and a professor from some university. Let me think... there's also a brigade commander from a military district who, for some reason, got sent down there. They all live there with their families.
"Oh, I see!"
Yu Qingsong nodded, indicating he understood.
By the way, in that small house over there lives a former Zhiqing from the Youth Commune, Wang Xiuli. If you have nothing to do, make sure not to wander over there. If someone sees you, they might report it, and then they'll say you're getting too close to bad elements, and that won't be good.
That's just how things are these days. Wang Zhaoran was worried they might not have been to the countryside before and wouldn't understand the situation here, so he reminded them.
"Alright, we got it!"
Yu Songbai said as he threw his arm around Wang Zhaoran's shoulders in a friendly manner.
"Bro, you guys head back first. I’ll go back to the old house to grab something and will be back soon!"
Wang Zhaoran actually didn’t want to bring up Wang Xiuli’s name; he had mentioned it inadvertently earlier. It stirred something within him. Since it was brought up, he couldn’t help but want to take a look. There was no particular reason or goal—he just felt inexplicably drawn.
Maybe it was because she was his first woman!
"Alright, we’ll head back and wait for you! You better not slack off!"
Yu Songbai joked, playfully punching him lightly on the shoulder.
"Ouch! This kid is surprisingly sturdy. Big brother, feel this!"
Yu Songbai said as he playfully poked around Wang Zhaoran's arm.
"Alright, if Wang Zhaoran has something to do, let him go!"
Yu Qingsong remarked with exasperation towards his younger brother. At over ten years old now, he still acted like a child and never seemed to grow up.
