Chapter 130 Are you afraid that I will steal the limelight?

"Ah!"

Li Guoqiang chuckled, reached out and patted the Type 56 Semi-God Gun on his back, then laughed and said, "Look at what you said, I'm carrying a gun! What's there to worry about?"

"cut!"

Qu Yinfeng rolled her eyes, then spat and said, "What's so great about having a gun? The wild beasts in the mountains won't recognize your gun. If they really get the chance to bite you, your life will be ruined!"

"have to!"

Seeing Qu Yinfeng like this, Li Guoqiang immediately admitted his mistake and said, "I was wrong. I promise that I will try to come back earlier in the future and not let you worry!"

"Hmph! That's pretty much it!"

Qu Yinfeng's expression relaxed when she heard that. She then opened the door and looked into the yard for a few times. She couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Hey, Qiangzi, where is the prey you hunted?"

"Well, this is what happened!"

Li Guoqiang hesitated for a moment, but finally told what happened in Phoenix Ridge.

"what?"

After hearing this, Qu Yinfeng's eyes widened, and then she gritted her teeth and cursed: "Those damned big insects are actually coming out to harm people again!"

After she finished cursing, her eyes suddenly turned red, obviously she was thinking of her son who was killed by a tiger, and the old man who was forced by the tiger to jump off a cliff and became half disabled.

It can be said that their family was destroyed by the big tiger.

"All right!"

Li Guoqiang patted Qu Yinfeng on the back and said softly, "It's all over now, and we can definitely find those two man-eating monsters and kill them."

"You continue to cook. I'm going to go to Uncle Fu's house and tell him about this matter."

After saying this, he was about to turn around and leave, but Xu Dani, who was watching him eagerly, hugged his thigh tightly.

Seeing this, he felt a little happy in his heart, then he bent down and picked up the little girl with his hands.

"Big brother, Dani misses you so much!"

Xu Dani put her arms around Li Guoqiang's neck, put her face on his shoulder, and then spoke softly.

"Ok!"

When Li Guoqiang heard the little girl's soft and cute voice with a little grievance, he felt his heart melt. He nodded hurriedly and said coaxingly: "Big brother misses Dani too!"

"When I'm free in a few days, I'll take you to the county town to attend the big market, okay?"

"Yeah!"

When Xu Dani heard about going to the big market, her eyes suddenly lit up, and then she nodded vigorously and agreed.

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang smiled slightly, then said softly: "Then you wait for me at home, I will go to talk to your grandfather Fu about something."

"Oh!"

Xu Dani nodded in agreement, got off Li Guoqiang reluctantly, and then stood silently at the door watching him walk out of the yard.

Seeing this, Qu Yinfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of worry appeared on her face.

Today, their family has finally been able to live a few days of good life, so nothing can go wrong again!
Soon, Li Guoqiang went to Xu Guangfu's house, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw Xu Guangfu and other brigade cadres including Sun Maocai and Xu Guanglu sitting on the kang having a meeting.

"Hey! Qiangzi, you're here!"

When Xu Guangfu saw Li Guoqiang coming in, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and then he waved his hand and said, "Come and sit on the kang. I just have something to tell you."

"Uncle Fu, what's the matter?"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang first greeted Sun Maocai, Xu Guanglu and others, then walked up and sat next to Xu Guangfu, and asked with a smile.

"Here's the thing."

Xu Guangfu did not keep the topic in suspense and directly told the story that Majiadian Commune had asked their production brigade to send people into the mountains to search for the wild wolves that attacked Shen Wanpeng.

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, then continued, "We just discussed it with several brigade cadres and decided that Guanglu and you will each lead a team to hunt wild wolves in the mountains for five days, and each of you will be given 10 work points every day."

"Also, if you catch any prey during this period, you will all be able to distribute it among yourselves."

"However, there is a requirement. Each team of you must kill at least three wild wolves and hand them over to the commune."

"How about it? Do you have the confidence to complete the task?"

"this."

After listening to it, Li Guoqiang did not agree immediately, but shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Fu, it's not that I don't want to accept this task, but the situation in the mountains is more complicated now."

"Everyone should know about the Fenghuangling Production Brigade, right?"

"Two days ago, a man was eaten by a giant insect, and another man was beaten to death by a giant insect!"

"Besides, up to now, the people over there haven't found those two man-eating monsters."

Hearing this, the faces of the people present changed, obviously they understood what Li Guoqiang meant.

Then, Xu Guangfu frowned and asked in a deep voice: "How did you know about this?"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly told him everything he had seen and heard in the past few days.

Among them, of course, the story of him going to find the hundred-year-old wild ginseng and using the small world to teleport was omitted.

After listening to his experience, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly fell into silence, and a heavy look appeared on everyone's face.

Nowadays, no one is considering going into the mountains to hunt wild wolves. Instead, they are all worried that the two man-eating beasts might suddenly run into their village and harm people.

As neighbors of the Fenghuangling Production Brigade, they naturally knew about the tiger crisis in Fenghuangling. They also knew about the incident of a hundred tigers surrounding a village in southern Hunan Province.

Therefore, they understand very well how terrifying the giant insects that eat humans are.

After a moment of silence, Xu Guangfu suddenly knocked the table with his pipe, then said in a serious tone, "Well, I'll take Qiangzi to the commune to report this matter and see what the commune leaders say. You stay in the village and notify every household not to go out casually for the time being. We'll talk about it when we come back!"

"Okay!" After hearing this, Sun Maocai, Xu Guanglu and others hurriedly nodded in agreement, and then began to act separately.

Xu Guangfu did not waste any time. He took out a cavalry rifle from the cabinet, then took Li Guoqiang out and walked towards the stable.

After a while, they got on the donkey cart driven by Lao Sun and hurried to Majiadian Commune.

At the same time, Sun Maocai, Xu Guanglu and others informed every household in the village of the news that a man-eating beast had appeared in the mountains, and sent people to bring back all those who were hunting and collecting firewood outside to avoid any accidents.

However, since everyone went into different places to hunt in the mountains, and some people would not reveal their hunting routes in order to avoid competition for their prey, three villagers ended up not being able to find their prey in time.

While the families of these three villagers were worried about this, Xu Guangfu and Li Guoqiang also successfully arrived at Majiadian Commune and immediately found He Shijun, the newly appointed commune director.

"Director He, we have a very important situation to report to you!"

"Don't be impatient, sit down and talk slowly!"

When He Shijun saw Xu Guangfu and Li Guoqiang suddenly walk in, a warm smile immediately appeared on his face. Then he pointed to the chair in front of the desk and greeted them softly.

Upon hearing this, Xu Guangfu did not hesitate to take Li Guoqiang over and sat down. Then, with a serious face, he told him about the man-eating beast that had appeared in the mountains.

"A giant insect ate a person?"

After hearing this, He Shijun was suddenly surprised, and couldn't help but look at Li Guoqiang strangely.

If he remembered correctly, his predecessor Director Ma Qixiong and canteen purchaser Shen Wanpeng had met with unexpected accidents because they went to Li Guoqiang's home.

Nowadays, Li Guoqiang just went to the Fenghuangling Production Brigade, and the villagers of Fenghuangling were eaten by the insects.

This made him think of the recent weird rumors about Li Guoqiang in the commune.

Originally, he didn't really believe in these things, but when he looked at Li Guoqiang's handsome face, he couldn't help feeling a little scared, fearing that Li Guoqiang would bring him some bad things.

However, since these things could not be discussed openly, he could only suppress this feeling and hurriedly asked someone to call Ma Baosheng, the head of the commune militia.

Finally, after discussion with Ma Baoshan, he decided to let Ma Baoshan lead thirty militiamen and the militia company of Jinshanbao into the mountains to search for the two man-eating beasts and the group of wild wolves that attacked Shen Wanpeng.

Due to the urgency of the situation, it didn't take long for Ma Baoshan to gather the team together. Then he drove a carriage borrowed from the commune and rushed back to Jinshanbao with Xu Guangfu, Li Guoqiang, Lao Sun and others.

When they returned to the village, it was already dark. Xu Guangfu could only arrange for Ma Baoshan and others to stay overnight in the homes of villagers.

Originally, because Qu Yinfeng's family had relatively ample housing conditions, Xu Guangfu wanted to arrange for Ma Baoshan to live with seven or eight people in Qu Yinfeng's home.

But who would have thought that Ma Baoshan and others declined this proposal, saying that living in more dispersed areas would better ensure the safety of the villagers.

Seeing this situation, Xu Guangfu immediately knew that Ma Baoshan and others were afraid of Li Guoqiang's name, so he did not try to persuade them anymore and directly arranged Ma Baoshan and others to stay in other villagers' homes.

Li Guoqiang was happy to have some peace and quiet. In order to avoid suspicion, he said goodbye to Xu Guangfu as soon as he returned to the village, went back to his own home, and had a delicious dinner with Qu Yinfeng and Xu Dani.

Then he went to the bathhouse to take a hot bath, rubbing off the mud and dust accumulated on his body and relaxing his mind.

Although he was not worried about being eaten by the big tiger, what he had experienced in the past few days, especially the half-bloody corpse of Lai Shun, still stimulated his spirit a lot, making him feel a little tired.

Fortunately, he was not the kind of person who liked to feel pity for others. With the help of hot water, he quickly eliminated the negative influences and then thought about how to find the two man-eating beasts.

After much thought, he finally came up with only three relatively reliable methods.

One of the ways is to organize people to search the mountain with hand-held nets, just like what was done in Phoenix Ridge. As long as the two man-eating beasts have not left this forest and persist for a period of time, they will definitely be found.

Another way is to go into the mountains alone, use a fresh wild boar as bait, and wait patiently for a while.

The last method is for him to use the small world to teleport and continue searching in the mountains and forests.

However, if you want to adopt the latter two methods, you must first convince Qu Yinfeng and Xu Dani.

Otherwise, if he was away from home for a long time, Qu Yinfeng and Xu Dani would probably worry to death.

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly, shook his head, stood up from the big water tank, then dried his body, put on his clothes, returned to the house, and told Xu Dani the story of the Big Bad Wolf and the Little White Rabbit.

After coaxing the little girl to sleep, he used the excuse of going to the toilet and used the small world to teleport to conduct a thorough search near Jinshan Fort to prevent the two man-eating beasts from sneaking over here.

Then he quietly returned to the house, got into bed and went to sleep.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.

Before daybreak, wisps of smoke were already rising from every household in Jinshanbao.

After finishing his breakfast at home, Li Guoqiang immediately got dressed, took his dry food and his gun, and went to the threshing ground to gather with the main force.

However, before he could reach the threshing ground, a petite figure suddenly blocked his way.

"Shang Xiuzhen, why are you stopping me?"

"Li Guoqiang, can you help me talk to Captain Xu and let me go into the mountains with you guys to hunt the giant insects?"

When Shang Xiuzhen heard Li Guoqiang's question, she hurriedly stated her request.

"you?"

Li Guoqiang frowned, then shook his head without even thinking and refused, "No, you can't even use a gun now. It's too dangerous to follow me into the mountains."

"Who said I can't use a gun?"

Shang Xiuzhen's eyes widened, and she quickly retorted, "I have been learning how to shoot with Ma Hongying all this time. If you don't believe me, you can give me the gun and let me try it!"

"is it?"

Li Guoqiang looked at Shang Xiuzhen in surprise, then nodded and said, "Then come with me to the threshing ground first! Then you can go and talk to Uncle Lu yourself. If he agrees, I have no objection."

"you"

Shang Xiuzhen frowned, and then said unhappily, "Can't you help me talk to him? If I told him and he agreed, why would I have to come and beg you?"

"Then there's nothing I can do!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang spread his hands, with a helpless look on his face.

"Li Guoqiang!"

Shang Xiuzhen saw Li Guoqiang's attitude and couldn't help but asked angrily, "You are too stingy. You don't want to help me. Are you afraid that I will steal your limelight?"
