1968: At the beginning, the beautiful sister-in-law came to borrow food! Chapter 049

No, I have to go out and take refuge for a few days!

At the very least, I need to think about my next steps!

If it gets light soon and Li Xiulian comes over to help, what will I do?

Indeed, helping widows should only be done during the day, not blindly busy day and night.

But it’s not a big problem, I just need to go out and cool down.

In my previous life, I drove with the sisters from the neighborhood quite often.

Oh, right! The treasure map!

As he was thinking, Li Yunfeng’s eyes lit up, remembering the treasure map rewarded by the Hunting Space.

It’s only about 150 li from here, not very far.

This trip will only take me four or five days to return.

Having made up his mind, Li Yunfeng no longer delayed, opened the door, and entered the house.

He took down the gun hanging on the wall and put on his overcoat.

He also took some bullets and packed some steamed buns from home.

There was water, meat, red sausage, and canned food in the space, but no staple food.

He needed to bring more; if he was out for many days, he couldn’t go without staple food!

While he was busy, the door to the west room opened, and Natasha came out, rubbing her eyes.

“Husband, up so early? Don’t you want to sleep more?”

“I couldn’t sleep. I was thinking of going into the mountains to see if I could hunt anything. I’ve been living off my savings these past few days; it’s time to stretch my muscles.”

“Into the mountains? It looks like it might snow today. The roads in the mountains will be hard to walk, won’t they?”

Natasha was a little worried.

“It’s fine! I know what I’m doing.”

“You two stay home and watch the house. I’ll try to be back in four or five days.”

“I’ll also go see what the wild boars in Wild Boar Ridge are like. I won’t go in, I’ll just check around the edges.”

With that, without waiting for Natasha to ask anything else, he pushed open the door and left directly.

Natasha looked at his hurried departure, a little bewildered.

But Natasha didn’t think much of it and turned back to her room to catch up on sleep.

It was normal for people in this area to go hunting. Those families with better living conditions usually had skilled hunters at home.

Li Yunfeng left the house, jogging all the way, and soon arrived at the edge of the small forest behind the village.

Looking around in the dark, he released the donkey from the space.

“Giddy up! Brother Donkey, take me treasure hunting!”

“Mother-in-law, I’m sorry, but I’m going to hide for a few days!”

He swung onto the donkey’s back, identified the direction of the treasure map to the south, and slapped the donkey’s rump.

The donkey brayed twice, “Hee-haw~,” and galloped off.

“Hiss!”

“It’s really damn cold here!”

“I need to take out my shield. If I encounter wild beasts, with the shield’s defense and my current physical fitness, I won’t be instantly killed by a black bear or a tiger!”

On the way, Li Yunfeng couldn’t help but mutter.

Then he took out his shield and hung it on his left hand, while his right hand held his large insulated thermos cup and he began to drink black tea.

Black tea is good; drinking black tea in winter is good for the stomach and can warm the body!

After walking for most of the day, the sun was already high in the sky, and Li Yunfeng hadn’t seen a single person.

He did encounter a few roe deer and several pheasants, but Li Yunfeng wasn’t in the mood to hunt them, focusing solely on getting deeper into the mountain gully.

He rode the donkey during the day, and when night fell, he would find a hidden spot, put the donkey back into the space, and then enter the space himself to rest.

The space was like spring all year round, much more comfortable than this icy, snowy, hellish place outside.

He could also drink hot tea, eat some ready-made jerky, and get a good night’s sleep.

The key was that it was very safe!

Without his control, nothing could enter the space.

After two days of traveling like this, Li Yunfeng estimated that he wasn’t far from the mountain where the treasure map indicated.

After checking the treasure map’s route, drinking some tea, and eating a couple of steamed buns and red sausage, Li Yunfeng was riding the donkey through a dense pine forest, intending to enter the space to rest.

Suddenly, he heard a low, rhythmic “grumble~~ grumble~~” not far ahead.

Huh? What kind of strange sound is that?

Is it a ghost?

Li Yunfeng hadn’t encountered anyone else these past two days!

But that shouldn’t be right; where was that sound coming from?

Li Yunfeng quickly got off the donkey and listened carefully.

The grumbling was quite loud, very low and deep.

It was also accompanied by faint “crunch, crunch” sounds, like something grinding its teeth, or like branches being broken.

Curious, he quietly put the donkey back into the space, then lightened his steps, holding his shotgun, and cautiously followed the sound.

Pushing aside a thick layer of snow and low pine branches, Li Yunfeng crouched down, peeked forward, and his eyes instantly widened!

Not far ahead, under an exceptionally thick old red pine tree, so large it would take three or four people to embrace it, there was a huge, pitch-black tree hollow!

The entrance to the hollow was about a person’s height, and it was dark inside; nothing could be seen, but the deafening grumbling sound was coming from within!

Looking at the ground around the tree hollow, the snow was trampled messy, leaving several clear, huge plum blossom-shaped paw prints!

Next to it, several pine branches as thick as a bowl had been forcibly broken off, and the breaks were still fresh!

“Holy crap? A tree hollow dug by a black bear?”

Li Yunfeng almost laughed out loud. How should he put it, this treasure map was indeed worthy of its name!

He hadn’t even found the treasure yet, and he’d already encountered a black bear.

“Damn it! It’s like someone brought a pillow when I was sleepy! I was just worrying about how to get some good stuff back to shut those women up!”

Li Yunfeng rubbed his hands excitedly, saliva almost drooling.

This was simply a gift package delivered to his doorstep!

The key was the black bear, well, it smelled good!

Orchid Bear Paw, this was a perfect score dish at the first national chef competition in China in 1983.

It was also the first perfect score dish, and also the champion dish of the first national chef competition.

It’s a pity that after the Wildlife Protection Law came out, Northeastern cuisine directly died out.

Not only was Orchid Bear Paw delicious, but bear meat, red deer meat, and Siberian tiger meat were collectively known as the “Third Immortals.”

Bear meat, Siberian tiger meat, and red-crowned crane meat stewed together were called Northeastern Stew.

At this time, there was no Wildlife Protection Law.

Catching one meant profit!

“To me—collect!!!”

As Li Yunfeng placed his hand into the tree hollow, which had been excavated by the black bear.

The moment his hand touched the black bear’s body, the black bear was instantly collected into the first layer of the space by Li Yunfeng.

Li Yunfeng quickly concentrated and sensed the Hunting Space.

Indeed! In the empty first layer of the space, there was a large, dark creature!

That creature seemed not to have reacted to what was happening, still maintaining its curled-up sleeping posture, but the grumbling had stopped. It seemed to have been startled awake by the sudden change and was groggily shaking its large head.

“It worked! It actually worked!”

Li Yunfeng looked at the scene in the space and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

He had only thought of it on a whim, but he never expected that the Hunting Space could actually be used this way! Directly collecting living creatures!

This was simply a divine skill!

With this move, in the future, if he encountered powerful wild beasts, as long as they touched his body, he could get the beasts into the space!

This safety factor was directly maximized!

“Heh heh, black bear, once you’re on my turf, you’re at my mercy!”

Li Yunfeng looked at the still somewhat bewildered black bear in the space and smiled smugly.

When he got out of the mountain, he would find a secluded place, release it, shoot it, and then the bear gall, bear paws, and bear skin would be easily obtained, wouldn’t they?

Having collected this unexpected surprise, Li Yunfeng was in a great mood and released the donkey again.

“Brother Donkey, well done, we caught a wild black bear.”

“When we go back, I’ll have Natasha stir-fry some cabbage for you!”

“I really need to thank nature for its bounty!”
