Chapter 8 Daily Rewards are about to take off!

Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival. Even if I can’t eat mooncakes, at least I can give my family a full meal.

In the evening, Zhang Xingwang felt a little satisfied when he saw the women in the family happily eating boiled potatoes and drinking corn porridge.

Originally, we requested to cook some thick corn paste, but no one agreed. They all said that potatoes were just like eating dry rice, so why ask for so much. The more you can save, the better. Zhang Xingwang couldn't do it alone, so he had to compromise.

Thinking about gaining control of the family as soon as possible.

Several women went to see a movie together, but Zhang Xingwang didn't go. His second sister, who was sullen and looked at him with resentment, was left at home.

It should be that the younger sister came back and said something to her mother Wang Xiulan, which made Wang Xiulan leave the second sister at home to look after him.

I was thinking about the recent prices and bills I got from my elder sister at night, preparing for the next hunting plan.

When the women came back chattering in the evening, the younger sister had already fallen asleep in the older sister's arms.

It didn't look like anything unusual and probably nothing unusual had happened, so Zhang Xingwang followed suit and went to sleep.

Unexpectedly, the next morning, when he was sleeping late, he suddenly heard a "ding" in his mind: the holiday automatic sign-in was successful, and he was rewarded with 5 kilograms of corn and 0.1 cubic meters of space. The holiday special reward space is 1 cubic meter.

Zhang Xingwang was no longer sleepy when he heard the prompt. This was the rhythm of taking off. With a 1.4 cubic meter cubic space, the hunting plan could be carried out in advance.

He quickly got up, wiped his face roughly, and said something to his fourth sister who was cleaning the house.

"It's Mid-Autumn Festival, I'm going back to the village to visit my grandparents."

He didn't care about the questioning from his fourth sister and ran away.

We walked in silence until we got to the village after dark. The village had a festive atmosphere. We left work early today to celebrate the festival.

The adults were chatting at the entrance of the village. A big pot was set up in the village canteen with soup stewing in it. Here and there, a few pieces of pork offal could be seen. A few aunts were steaming buns made of two-grain flour nearby.

Seeing Zhang Xingwang coming over, several villagers asked in unison:

"Isn't this prosperous? He is in good health and has grown into a big boy."

"Well, I'm well now. It's not the holiday, so I came back to visit," Zhang Xingwang answered casually.

At this time, the village chief Zhang Yougen came over and said with a smile:

"Okay, come back to visit your grandparents more often when you have time. The pork soup and steamed buns that Murakami made today will be ready soon. Remember to ask your grandpa to come and eat."

"Got it, Uncle Yougen."

Everyone in Zhangjia Village is related and the village chief is even less than five generations away from his family, so he is Zhang Xingwang's uncle.

As he was talking, he saw the old man walking towards him slowly. When he saw him, he asked:

"Xingwang, are you back for the holidays? You must be exhausted from the journey. Your grandma is at home, go home and rest first." He looked at the meat soup in the cafeteria, squinted his eyes and continued:

"We have pork soup today. Grandpa will bring it back and we will have dinner together."

At this time, Uncle Gen joked:

"Uncle, you have calculated the time perfectly. It will be ready soon."

“No, I came here by the smell.”

The old man replied with a smile on his face.

"Xingwang, you go back first, I will follow you."

Zhang Xingwang replied, "I understand, Grandpa," and went back.

When they got home, the old lady was sweeping the yard. When she saw her grandson coming in, she smiled so hard that her teeth were showing. Zhang Xingwang took out the corn from the space and handed it to the old lady, saying:

"Grandma, I brought back some corn. We must eat something good today during the holiday."

The old lady didn't reply, she just looked at her grandson. But although she had silver hair, she looked healthy. She asked with concern:

"My dear grandson, grandma sees that you look rosy and energetic. Are you feeling better?"

"Well, I'm totally fine now."

"It seems that the folk remedy your mother found worked, that's good."

Zhang Xingwang had the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinner with his grandparents. After a whole day of traveling, he had no mood to appreciate the moon and went to bed early.

At dawn the next day, before the old man went to work, I coaxed him into taking out his hunting rifle and headed into the mountains.

At first, the old man refused to agree, but later he explained that he had made a trap last time and wanted to go and have a look, so the old man let him go. However, this time he only gave him 10 bullets, probably because he was afraid that he would go into the mountains like last time.

We walked all the way into the mountains. There were no wild animals or even wild vegetables along the way. The villagers had already cleaned up everything.

Before I reached the trap, I heard some noise inside. I ran over and saw a silly roe deer trying hard to jump out.

This is not a stupid roe deer, this is the first pot of gold, it looks like at least 60 or 70 kilograms, this is a sure thing. He raised his hand and gave it a bullet, and then put it into the space.

Then I grabbed the vines and went down to check. All the corn had been eaten. And it seemed that the roe deer was not the only prey. There were also pheasant claw marks, and it seemed that the pheasant had flown away.

After all, who would be willing to use food as bait these days, so it makes sense that it attracted a lot of prey.

This wave is not a loss, but I have to learn how to set traps when I go back, otherwise it will be useless if I encounter flying birds. This time I didn’t put bait, I didn’t have corn, and I didn’t know how to make bird traps.

With the roe deer as a base, Zhang Xingwang felt much more relaxed. While it was still early, he made some marks and began to move deeper into the area.

Let alone wild boars, we didn't even encounter any larger prey on the road. However, we did kill four large birds, which weighed only about six or seven pounds in total. They were colorful and looked very scary.

But who cares about these things these days? Just like what Zhang San Lao said, if they are extremely hungry, even a panda will eat. It is just an emergency measure to avoid danger.

I was very tired along the way. Seeing that it was around noon, I started to return along the mark. After walking for just two or three minutes, I suddenly saw the branches on the ground in front of me moving. I took a closer look and saw something strange.

This was not a branch, but a python that was slowly crawling towards the big tree next to it. It looked as thick as a calf and three or four meters long. Zhang Xingwang was so frightened that the hair on his back stood up and his body froze, not daring to move.

How could a modern man have experienced all this? The python was about seven or eight meters away from him. He knew that snakes attack very quickly and they also have heat sensitivity. It was hard to say whether it was highly poisonous or not, but it must have discovered him.

Regardless of why the python did not attack him but was climbing up the tree, he slowly began to back away. Suddenly, he found that the python did not move. It raised its huge head and began to spit its tongue in his direction.

Zhang Xingwang was so frightened that he raised his hand and started firing bullets. There was a burst of "puff" sound like flesh coming out. He retreated while firing. After four or five bullets, the snake's head was smashed.

After five or six minutes, the python was completely motionless. Zhang Xingwang carefully went over to check. Fortunately, only the snake's head was hit, and the body was still intact.

When he looked up at the tree, he saw a hidden bird's nest on a branch. It was estimated that the python was also preparing to climb up and eat the bird's eggs when he encountered it.

After I had taken care of the python, I took a break and climbed up a tree to get three unknown bird eggs. Then I continued to go down the mountain. With the python, the space was basically full. This time, the plan was completed in excess.
