Chapter 31 Call Me Daddy and I'll Teach You How to Shoot a Gun
Lu Yao didn't care whether she believed him or not, he looked up at the snowy forest and sighed:
"I can indeed remember a lot of things, but if I don't follow the original course of events, history will change."
Look at Ding Mei, who is trying not to laugh:
"You've never spoken to me so calmly before; you always looked down on me. But back then, I really was useless, timid and cowardly."
Ding Mei found his precocious and serious manner of talking nonsense rather amusing.
"Then tell me, what will happen tomorrow, or what will happen next?"
Lu Yao shook his head: "I didn't get the gun back then, nor did I go into the mountains with you. That part has changed."
"So... what will happen in the village the day after tomorrow and the day after that?"
Lu Yao laughed and said, "Then tell me, what were you doing five years ago today?"
"Who remembers?"
"You don't even remember what happened five years ago, how could I possibly remember anything from fifty years ago?"
Ding Mei wanted to ask her more questions.
It wasn't a matter of whether she trusted him or not; she simply took Lu Yao's words as a joke.
Just then, a shadow flickered at the edge of the primeval forest ahead.
Then it disappeared into the weeds.
Lu Yao quickly raised his gun.
Ding Mei saw it too, and pulled the machete out from the waistband of her cotton trousers behind her back.
"Hey kid, there's something up ahead!"
The two immediately went into hunting mode.
He bent down and slowly approached.
Lu Yao picked up the SKS semi-automatic carbine and aimed the sights at his eyes.
He aimed at the direction where the dark figure had just appeared.
Twenty meters... fifteen meters... about ten meters.
Lu Yao stopped, and Ding Mei stopped as well.
Her delicate, large eyes looked ahead, then back at Lu Yao.
I don't know what I should do.
There was no movement for half a day.
Lu Yao started moving forward again.
He reached out and pulled Ding Mei behind him.
The outstretched arm landed squarely on Ding Mei's chest and pushed her backward.
Ding Mei glared at him.
However, he didn't say anything.
She knew he wasn't intentionally taking advantage of her.
Lu Yao approached the clump of wormwood step by step.
Step inside...
There's nothing there!
Look, this is a downhill road; they probably ran away a long time ago.
Look down at the footprints on the ground.
He was surprised: "It's a person! The shoe print isn't very big; it must be either a woman or a child!"
Ding Mei is also quite strange:
Where would a woman come from in this deep mountain forest?
We had now passed Rabbit Ridge and entered Wild Boar Forest.
Even Ding Dahu's hunting team wouldn't dare to come this way easily.
Even if you come, there must be at least five or six people.
Otherwise, you'd just be food for a wild beast.
It's illogical for a woman, or a child with feet smaller than forty, to appear on their own!
However, looking deeper into the forest, one sees strange rocks, lush grass, and trees that block out the sun, making it impossible to see very far.
"Never mind her, let's keep looking for prey."
Lu Yao pulled Ding Mei away.
Ding Mei was held by his hand and followed him.
Suddenly I felt something was wrong.
He quickly shook off Lu Yao's hand and put his hands inside his glove compartment.
Lu Yao turned to look at her.
Why is your face so red?
"It's okay. Look ahead, don't look at me!"
The two continued walking.
Vast mountains and boundless forests.
The snow-covered land stretches to the horizon.
Although Lu Yao now has a gun, he is no longer afraid of wild animals.
However, finding a wild animal in this boundless forest is not something that can be done easily.
"Hey kid, can you even fire a gun? And I don't even know if this gun works properly?"
Ding Mei followed behind Lu Yao, trying to find topics to talk about.
"I've checked it, and this gun should work. I don't want to waste bullets, so I'll try it on whatever I see later."
As Lu Yao spoke, his eyes never relaxed for a moment, constantly scanning the scene before him.
I can't help but marvel at how good my eyesight is now.
Later, when I was over sixty, even with glasses, I couldn't see very far.
From afar, it looks like a flower; up close, it's like a flower.
I regret not protecting my eyesight properly back then.
Now that I've been reborn, both my eyes are in perfect condition.
It stretches for miles under the sunlight.
"Little Mei, there's a 'flying dragon' over there. If we can defeat it, we'll have lunch!"
Lu Yao quickly ran towards a grove of trees.
Ding Mei followed closely behind.
The scientific name for the "flying dragon" is the hazel grouse.
In Manchu, the hazel grouse is called "Feiyelengu".
It means "chicken in a tree".
Later, taking advantage of its similar pronunciation, it was called "Flying Dragon".
Moreover, the hazel grouse has a long and curved neck bone, resembling a dragon bone.
Its claws are covered in scales and look like a dragon's claws.
The meat is tender, has a good texture, is nutritious, and tastes delicious.
The old saying "Dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground" refers to the meat of the flying dragon.
It is not a real dragon.
Look, the distance is over thirty meters.
If we go any further, we might frighten it and make it fly away.
Lu Yao lay prone on the snow, his right hand gripping the trigger of the gun, and his left hand outstretched to hold the gun up.
"Bang"
A crisp gunshot rang out, the sound carrying for miles.
"Got it!"
Ding Mei was so happy that she stepped on Lu Yao's butt and hopped over to find "Flying Dragon".
As soon as Lu Yao fired the shot, the birds in the tree fell to the ground.
He rushed over and saw that the bullet had shattered "Flying Dragon's" head.
Ding Mei picked it up and ran back.
She retrieved the flying dragon without Lu Yao even having to get up and walk over.
A long braid swung back and forth behind her head.
He jumped and skipped along the road for several dozen meters, as happy as a child.
Lu Yao was also affected by her emotions.
I've never been this happy, not even when I hunted a Siberian tiger myself.
"Look, you little rascal, you hit me right in the head! Amazing! You hit so accurately from that far away!"
Lu Yao laughed, "This is nothing. If I had a telescope and sights, I've hunted rhinos from a kilometer away!"
Ding Mei slapped him twice:
"You get all worked up just because I said you're fat? When have there ever been a rhinoceros in these mountains!"
Lu Yao just smiled and didn't argue.
Even if I told her, she wouldn't believe my experiences abroad.
This girl loves to hit people.
It's okay in winter, but if you're wearing less clothing in summer, she'll slap your skin until it's all red.
Lu Yao was momentarily lost in thought.
Suddenly I remembered that time I got drunk and mistook her for Zheng Shuang.
She not only loves to hit people, but she also loves to bite them.
Ding Mei also got drunk that night.
I don't know who I think I am, I'm very cooperative, and I even bit my own shoulder until it bled.
Lu Yao was startled awake by the pain and realized that he had entered the wrong room, Ding Mei's room.
Run out quickly.
From then on, she beat me quite a few times.
She never said why, but when no one was around, she would pinch and hit him.
……
Alas, the future is just a memory for Lu Yao.
But Ding Mei, the country girl in front of him, had no idea.
She reached out and took Lu Yao's gun to aim:
"Hey kid, teach me how to shoot a gun!"
"Call me 'Dad' and I'll teach you!"
"Are you out of your mind! One minute you're calling me mother-in-law, the next you want me to call you dad. Are you just staying at home watching your dog?"
"Fine, don't bother. If you don't want to teach me, then I won't. Hand over the gun."
Lu Yao reached for the gun.
Ding Mei picked it up and ran:
"No, here are the bullets I'll give you. You have to let me fire a few shots."
"Don't run! There's something over there!"
When Lu Yao called out, Ding Mei noticed a large, dark creature on a hillside to their side!
