Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

Chapter 40: When it comes to being powerful, who is afraid of whom?

Although it was not a holiday, the department store was quite lively, with many people, loud noises and noisy atmosphere.

Li Long looked around and saw that they were all here to buy New Year goods. There were many workers in Shicheng and they had extra money at the end of the year. Even if they couldn't afford big purchases, they would buy two kilograms of fruit candy, some sesame cakes or two cans of food.

Yang Bailao still wears a two-foot red hair string during the New Year.

When he saw Jiang noodles, he squeezed over and weighed a kilogram. Compared with fruit candies, this snack wrapped in sugar and fried was obviously more advanced. Then there were fried peanuts. The production team planted oil sunflowers, and each family could get some in the fall. Some were pressed for oil, and some were left to be fried and eaten during the New Year, but the mouth was black after eating.

Li Long also divided the peanuts he bought into two portions, one for himself and one for Tao Daqiang.

He looked around and saw a double-barreled hunting rifle, which is called a sand gun in the local dialect because the shotgun is filled with iron sand or lead, and single-headed bullets are rarely used. Each one is clearly marked at more than 300 yuan. There are also air guns, which are more than 100 yuan each.

A small-caliber rifle costs 180 yuan, the price of a bicycle. The bullets of a small-caliber rifle are about the same size as the tip of a thin pencil. They are still for sale at this time, which makes Li Long jealous.

It's a pity that there is no money.

After another round of walking, I saw some children's cotton-rubber shoes. I wanted to buy some for Li Qiang and Li Juan, but I didn't know their sizes, so I had to wait until next time.

He looked around and didn't see anyone selling fishing nets, so he left the department store and Tao Daqiang went in instead.

"Da Qiang, I bought four kilograms of fried peanuts. You bought two kilograms and I bought two kilograms. I didn't see the fishing net. Go inside and take a look."

"Okay." Tao Daqiang entered the department store with a feeling of trepidation and excitement.

He came out after a while, and Li Long could even see sweat on his face.

"Why did you come out?"

"No... I don't know what to buy. There are too many things and too many people."

Li Long smiled, this is cowardice. But it's nothing, just come a few more times and it will be fine.

"Then let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative and see if there are any fishing nets there."

The supply and marketing cooperative was not far from the department store, so the carriage arrived quickly. There were few cars on the road at this time, but there were a few people riding bicycles passing by in a hurry.

"Do you want to go in or should I go in?" When they arrived at the place, Li Long asked Tao Daqiang.

"Brother Long, you should go in. I didn't dare to ask just now." Tao Daqiang was a little embarrassed. "If you have it, buy it for me. If not... forget it."

Li Long entered the supply and marketing cooperative and saw that there were fewer people inside than in the department store and the noise was also quieter.

He looked around and saw people selling fishing nets, but they were large-scale pulling nets and blocking nets, and small sticky nets. There were no scoop nets.

Li Long was a little disappointed, but he still asked about the price of the sticky net.

At that time, there were only single-layer sticky nets, 50 meters of three-finger nets cost 2 yuan, and two-finger nets cost 1.7 yuan. He knew the price, but didn't buy it, and the salesperson didn't say anything.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Long told Tao Daqiang about the situation. Tao Daqiang was a little disappointed, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"Let's go back." Li Long looked at the time. The sun was slightly west, and the items were sold out earlier than yesterday.

But it takes another two hours to get from Shicheng to Ma County, and nearly two hours to get back. It will probably be dark by the time we get home.

When Li Long passed by the state-owned restaurant, he bought four buns and the two of them ate while walking.

When they got out of Shicheng, Li Long suddenly stopped.

Tao Daqiang was chewing a meat bun, and when he saw Li Long stop, he asked:
"Brother Long, what's going on?" He was sitting in the carriage, looking backwards, and didn't see what was going on. "Someone is blocking the road, most likely trying to rob money." Li Long said in a low voice.

When he heard that someone was going to rob him, Tao Daqiang stuffed the bun into his mouth, jumped out of the car and looked forward.

Two young men, one holding an iron chain and the other holding an iron pipe, slowly walked towards the carriage.

There were woods on both sides, and the two guys had found a good location. After the robbery, they went straight into the woods, making it difficult to find them.

"Brother Long, do you want to fight?" Tao Daqiang was a little nervous.

"Are you afraid?" Li Long took the horse whip in his hand and wrapped the whip rope around the pole to make it easier to hit.

"Afraid? What the hell!" Tao Daqiang spat, "If you want to steal our money, you'll have to fight to the death!"

I want both life and money!

"Brother, we want money but not life. Pay us a bribe, not much, ten dollars, and you can leave. Otherwise, I won't tell you what happened to you, but I'll kill you, and you won't feel well, right?"

The man holding the chain stopped five meters in front of the carriage and said, "We are not greedy. We know you have made a lot of money this time. What do you think?"

"Not so good!" Li Long sneered, "Want to eat for free? Let's see if you have the ability to do so!"

He turned to Tao Daqiang and said:

"You're on the left, I'm on the right..."

Before he could finish his words, Tao Daqiang had already rushed forward!

The two men were shocked. What does this mean? Just do it?

When Li Long saw Tao Daqiang rushing over, he immediately followed him. He rushed forward with a whip in his hand and whipped the man holding the iron pipe on the head - the whip was long, which was an advantage.

The man with the iron chain saw Tao Daqiang rushing over and knew that this would not end well, so he had already swung his chain. Unexpectedly, although Tao Daqiang was a simpleton, he was no novice in fighting and playing in the team. When he jumped up, he suddenly hit the other person with his hat. The man's eyes were dazzled, and Tao Daqiang had already kicked him in the chest. The man took two steps back, and Tao Daqiang had already stepped forward and grabbed his shoulders, and hit him in the face with a headbutt!
The man screamed, covered his head and squatted down. His eyes were full of blood and he couldn't see anything. He was in excruciating pain!
Tao Daqiang's side had a direct collision, while Li Long's side was a mobile fight. He swung the whip and the opponent used an iron pipe to block it. Li Long did not get close. He did not have Tao Daqiang's body shape and was not very good at fighting, but he had quick reactions and could hit the opponent out of the blue, making the opponent very annoyed but unable to do anything.

The man holding the iron pipe rushed towards Li Long regardless of the consequences. He was ready to hit him hard as long as he got close enough. As a result, he heard his partner screaming!
When he turned his head, Li Long knew that the opportunity had come. He rushed over quickly, grabbed the other person's arm and tripped him.

He is not good at fighting, but he has practiced wild wrestling!
At this time, Tao Daqiang also came to help and knocked down the robber who was in a stalemate with a punch. Li Long took the opportunity to step forward and kick him a few times, making it impossible for the robber to turn over.

"Body search." Li Long said to Tao Daqiang:

"See if there's anything valuable."

Since you're here to rob, you should be prepared to be robbed.

"Brother Long, I have twelve dollars and a stack of food coupons." After the fight, Tao Daqiang acted silly again and even revealed that he addressed Li Long.

Li Long found eight yuan and fifty cents, some food coupons, and a pen. It was not known whether they were stolen from someone else or belonged to the man himself.

"Take the iron chain and iron pipe, and let's go!" Li Long put away the money and said:

"We have to leave as soon as possible."

This was someone else's territory, and he was worried about the other party's revenge.

On the last day of the May Day holiday, I would like to thank the book friends in Taiwan Shuchong for their donations. Thank you for your support! Today is the first round of recommendations.
