Chapter 2: Orion

"Your second brother is a little busy with his studies, so he won't come back for the New Year this year......"

Facing Yang An and Yang Ping's inquiry, Song Jiawen didn't know what she remembered, her face changed slightly, and she finally smiled.

"The second brother won't come back for the New Year? The eldest brother has played a lot of game, just waiting for him to come back for the New Year......"

Hearing this, Yang An's face was full of disappointment, and Yang Ping's mouth was even more deflated, and she almost cried.

"Don't cry, don't cry, doesn't your second brother also know that your eldest brother is working hard and wants to save some money for the family?

Song Jiawen said, hurriedly pulling a piece of candy and stuffing it into Yang Ping's mouth, Yang Ping snorted, smashing the sugar cube, although she was sad, she couldn't even cry, because the sugar cube was too sweet.

The children around looked at Yang Ping's small mouth, imagining the taste of the candy cubes, and their saliva flowed all over the ground, the children of the Zhuang family, the sugar cubes were a luxury that could only be seen in their dreams.

Yang An dragged his sister, and seemed to think that Yang Ping's performance was a bit embarrassing for the old Yang family.

"An An, Pingping is still young!"

Song Jiawen rubbed Yang An's head a little funny and a little sadly, and asked in a low voice with a slightly shy face: "What about your eldest brother?" ”

"Big brother entered the mountain two days ago, and it is estimated that it is almost time to come back today and tomorrow...... Thank you, Sister Jiawen! ”

Yang An replied, bowing down to Song Jiawen to thank her, she didn't look like a child from a poor family at all, but like a child from a scholarly family who had been disciplined since childhood.

"The road is slippery, you guys slow down and don't fall!"

Song Jiawen watched Yang An drag Yang Ping's hand and went home with a lost face and shouted, listening to his reprimand for Yang Ping, saying something that the eldest brother usually taught, how could he lose his manners because of a piece of candy and so on, looking up at the snow-covered mountains, a heart seemed to be clenched by something, and he couldn't do it.

The snow covers the mountains, and the wild beasts in the mountains are hungry and crazy, and it is extremely dangerous to go into the mountains to hunt at this timeβ€”there are leopards in this mountain, and many people have seen them!

"Jiawen, what are you looking at?"

Song Jiawen came back from her worries, but found that she had arrived at the door of the house, and Song Kangnian was wrapped in a thick leather jacket to greet her out of the door, looking at her with a doting face.

"Daddy!"

Song Jiawen said with a smile, and then Youfu Cai held the box and handed it to Song Kangnian and said, "Master, the ...... that Miss bought for you in the provincial capital"

"There is filial piety, there is filial piety, and she is worthy of being my daughter Song Kangnian!"

Song Kang Nianle's back tooth sockets came out, beckoned Song Jiawen into the house, and asked the subordinates to burn the fire pit more vigorously, so that the girl could warm her body, and then said to Fucai: "Jiawen is in the provincial capital, thanks to your care, hard work!" ”

"Master, this is what we should do!"

Fucai smiled and glanced at Song Kangnian vaguely.

Song Kangnian, who was anxious to enter the house with his daughter, slowed down slightly and cast an inquiring look.

"On the way back, someone followed us!"

Fucai lowered his voice and said, "I'm afraid these people are coming for Miss!" ”

"I, Song Kangnian, have been fasting and chanting Buddha all these years, do those who don't have long eyes really think I'm a bully?"

Song Kangnian's expression was grim, and he instructed Fucai to find a few sturdy long-term tenants in the village to come over, and distribute several guns in the warehouse to strengthen the defense.

Song Jiawen is his heart, no matter who dares to beat his daughter's idea, he will definitely fight with the other party.

The house resounded with the voices and laughter of Song Jiawen and his wife, and the joyful atmosphere instantly suppressed the uneasiness in Song Kangnian's heart, and he entered the house with a smile, he didn't see him for a year, he really wanted to take a good look at how much his daughter had changed this year.

In the mountains and forests, snowflakes fly.

A wild boar snorts and runs through the thick snow, and its keen sense of smell allows it to easily spot the dangers around it and the food under the thick snow.

Shout......

There was a sharp roar tearing wind, whistling, and a large cloud of blood exploded on the door of the wild boar's head!

In the miserable howl, the wild boar fell to the ground in response, struggling violently, and the blood flowed with the struggle, like a blooming red flower in the snow-white snow.

There was silence all around, as if the bullet had appeared out of thin air, except for the faint sound of a bolt loading bullet indicating that someone was there.

It's Yang Yi, the villagers are used to calling him Yang Da, and they will secretly call him Yang Da fool behind his back.

His whole being melted into the snow around him, both on his body and on his head, and on the gun.

The body of the gun was wrapped with strips of cloth, and the front of the muzzle of the gun was obviously a section and a lot thicker, it was a modified bamboo tube, which was also wrapped with strips of cloth, and the snowflakes on the strips of cloth were slightly melted at the moment, exuding heat, because of the heat of the gun.

The muzzle of the gun is preceded by a bamboo barrel, which is Yang Yi's accidental discovery, which can effectively weaken the gunshot, and after modification, the gunfire can reach an almost inaudible level.

Hunting and firing guns is a common thing, and the hunters around also have muskets.

Yang Yi was so careful, completely because the gun he used was not an ordinary musket, but an M1924 Mauser rifle, even if such a rifle was in the army, it was a rare good gun, if it was found in the hands of an Orion, it would be a big trouble!

This gun is the key to his ability to successfully provide Yang Kuan with school and feed his younger brothers and sisters in the past two years - those ordinary shotguns are not only low in accuracy but also have limited lethality, it is okay to fight pheasants and hares, and large animals such as wild boars have no way at all.

Just like this wild boar, with a thick layer of resin rubbed on its body, which is bonded to its fur, it is like wearing a suit of armor, and even if the iron sand fired by an ordinary shotgun hits a wild boar, it is estimated that it will rub off a layer of bristles, let alone kill with one shot like this rifle.

The wild boar's struggle became weaker and weaker, but Yang Yi still didn't move, waiting quietly, after all, the beast after being injured was often the most ferocious, and he didn't dare to be careless.

And for the sake of this wild boar, Yang Yi has been waiting motionless in this snow for a day and a night, and he doesn't care about waiting a little longer.

The blood that flowed quickly took away the life and strength of the wild boar, and after a while, it finally stopped moving.

Yang Yi got up, shook off the large snowflakes on his leather jacket, and then walked briskly towards the wild boar.

This wild boar weighs more than 100 catties, which can make the younger brothers and sisters eat meat and eat happily during the New Year, and if they can't finish eating, they can take it to the town to exchange it for money, and they can also make a new set of clothes for each of them......

Thinking of this, the corners of Yang Yi's mouth showed a happy smile, making his overly serious face look much gentler.

was about to squat down to clean up the wild boar, but Yang Yi's eyes suddenly widened, and the muscles in his body instantly tensed!

A colorful leopard peeked out not far behind him, snorting and inhaling, greedily sniffing the blood in the air, its footsteps blending with the creaking of the branches of the wind and the snow that should not be heard at all.

But Yang Yi heard it, this is not the ability honed by years of hunting as a hunter, but his instinct.

Since he was a child, he has had a natural sensitivity to danger, and Dad Yang always praised him when he was not dead, and he was born to eat this bowl of rice.

Yang Yi slowly turned his head and saw a leopard the size of a calf, the rifle had slipped into his hand, but he was not ready to aim and fire.

Although a leopard skin of the leopard is worth twenty or thirty oceans, enough for him to work for a year.

The leopard looked at Yang Yi and let out a low roar from his mouth, looking at the rifle in his hand with a look of fear in his eyes.

"Who are you going to scare if your subordinates are defeated?"

Yang Yi smiled, having said that, he didn't dare to be vigilant, took out the chopper on his waist with a gun in one hand and the other hand, chopped off a hind leg and threw it in the direction of the leopard.

The leopard was still roaring in a low voice, with no intention of leaving.

"You're getting more and more greedy!"

Yang Yi snorted, but after all, he cut off the remaining hind leg and threw it at the leopard and said, "That's all, if you are still not satisfied, don't blame me for picking your skin and selling it for money!" ”

I don't know if I understood his words, the leopard roared twice, looked at the wild boar, and the unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but he finally picked up two pig legs, jumped into the depths of the forest and disappeared.

Yang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, wrapped the wild boar with its hind legs in a leather jacket, and walked down the mountain quickly to see the sky, and there was still hope to get home before dark.

The remnants of the blood were quickly solidified by the wind and snow, covered by snow, and the reckless mountain forest returned to calm again, as if nothing had happened.

At dusk, Yang Yi returned to the outskirts of the village, and saw the smoke coming from several houses far away from the village, and a bright smile bloomed on his face, and then he put down his prey, and after observing left and right for a while to make sure that no one was nearby, he came to a large rock, cut away the snow and soil, and revealed a wooden box.

There were also two or three rifles identical to the Mauser on his shoulder and a shotgun common to Orion, as well as a large pile of bullets.

If you look at the wooden box and these guns, I am afraid that I am very suspicious of how these things got into the hands of him, the hunter.

Yang Yi put the rifle wrapped in strips of cloth into the wooden box, then picked up the shotgun and buried the box, stepped on it, and then left the hillside and returned to the village.

There was a firelight through the crack in the door, and the sound of reading could be heard at the same time.

Seeing the firelight and the sound of reading, Yang Yi's heart was full of warmth, and then walked over.

"Big brother, you're back!"

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the sound of reading stopped abruptly, Yang An and Yang Ping ran out happily, and when they saw the wild boar on Yang Yi's back, they screamed and laughed.

"Have you been reading and writing well at home for the past two days?"

Yang Yi asked, as he entered the house.

Yang An Yang Ping nodded vigorously, and then said happily: "Sister Jiawen is back, and she is more beautiful than before!" ”

Hearing Song Jiawen's name, Yang Yi's mind immediately changed the shadow of an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, whose high-quality clothes were stained with dirt and grass clippings, and she was raising the small embroidered bag in her hand at herself, and the ocean in the bag was rattling.

Although several years have passed, Song Jiawen has grown up and become much more beautiful, but this picture is eternally engraved in the depths of Yang Yi's mind and has never faded.

"But the second brother didn't come back......"

Yang Ping's crying voice woke up Yang Yi's reverie: "I miss the second brother......"
