Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

The wild goat fell on the hillside.

Li Long breathed a sigh of relief, but did not go over immediately. He first breathed heavily to recover his strength, while loading bullets into the magazine.

After recovering for a few minutes, Li Long walked towards the goat with his gun.

The wild goat was already dead and motionless. The bullet had hit its chest, probably crushing its internal organs.

Li Long pulled out a knife with his gun on his back, cut a blood vessel on the wild goat's neck, stood up and stepped hard, making sure to drain as much blood as possible from the wild goat's body.

After a while, the blood stopped oozing from the wild goat's neck.

Li Long looked around. The sun had just come out, so it was still early. He picked up the goat and put it on his back. He held the gun in his right hand and supported the goat with his left hand as he walked down the mountain.

This goat weighs thirty or forty kilograms, and it takes more than an hour to carry it back.

Fortunately, we can take a shortcut and don't need to enter the hot spring ditch again. From here, we can cut diagonally across the head of the hot spring ditch and go straight to the wooden house.

Occasionally, one or two drops of blood would drip onto Li Long's clothes, but he didn't care. He wore old clothes when he went hunting, and he would wash them after hunting. There was no need to wash them too clean, as long as they didn't get dirty.

The sun had just come out, and the dew had not yet dispersed. Li Long's pants were already soaked, and the trouser legs stuck to his legs, feeling very uncomfortable. He was anxious to get back to the wooden house to change clothes. After passing the second ditch after the hot spring ditch, he suddenly remembered that this was the ditch that the young man who came to him with the four metal pieces yesterday mentioned.

Unfortunately, Li Long was carrying a wild goat on his back and was in a hurry to leave, so he didn't look for anything in the ditch and hurried over.

In a ditch less than 500 meters away from Li Long, hidden under the bushes, the tall and thin man was looking for something in the stream.

He had originally planned to leave the mountains and go to the county last night, but after being persuaded by Li Long, he returned to his dugout for safety reasons.

After being woken up by gunfire early this morning, the man simply got up and went to the stream to wash his face. It suddenly occurred to him that since the four pieces of metal he had acquired yesterday could be exchanged for thirty yuan, if he found other good things, could they also be exchanged for money?

With this idea in mind, he immediately ran to the stream where he found the bronze mirror and metal pieces and started looking for them.

After searching the area for a long time, we found nothing except some scattered copper coins and rotten pieces of cloth.

This area seemed to be formed by flood. The tall and thin man looked upstream, where the bushes were even denser. The tall and thin man had seen wolves in this forest area, so he didn't dare to go there.

Forget it, saving your life is more important. Let’s get something to eat and leave here quickly.

Li Long returned to the wooden house, put the wild goat next to the spring, quickly went into the wooden house, opened the door, went in, changed his clothes and pants, and then he felt better.

After changing his clothes, Li Long hung the dirty clothes on the bucket of the tractor outside, took a knife and a basin, went to the spring, and began to skin and gut the animals.

Soon, the sheepskin was peeled off, smeared with salt and put aside. He didn't expect that wasps would come to eat it so early. However, after applying salt, the wasps only dared to circle around the sheepskin or come to the mutton.

Li Long dug out the wild goat's internal organs and put them in a basin, cut up large pieces of mutton and put them in another basin, and then washed the stomach and intestines.

When the stomach and intestines were cleaned, Li Long stood up, filled the basin with water, carried it to the small room, smeared salt on the unloaded mutton, and found a clean sack to put it in.

Although he was a little hungry, he didn't plan to eat. He first put all the Fritillaria in the cabin, including the antler, into one bag of dry ones and two bags of wet ones, and put them on the tractor.

There were still some supplies left in the small room, but Li Long didn't care too much about them. They were not too valuable. The most valuable thing here was these Fritillaria. He planned to go down the mountain.

After locking the door and starting the tractor, Li Long drove away.

Although he knew that this would make a lot of noise, Li Long had no other choice. After all, he couldn't find another person to guard here. In fact, he could ask his eldest brother to come over, but his eldest brother was obviously still thinking about making money by making a living with his strength and skills, and he couldn't interrupt his enthusiasm.

Let’s leave it this way for now. It’ll only take half a day, so there shouldn’t be any trouble, right?

The tractor drove out of the mountain at high speed, crossed the Qingshui River, turned onto the Wuyi Highway, and it was more than an hour later when we arrived at the county town.

It was time for everyone to have breakfast, and Li Long was very satisfied with his speed.

He drove a tractor to the compound and met Gu Xiaoxia. When Gu Xiaoxia turned around to lock the door, she heard the sound of the tractor and turned around to see Li Long.

"Are you back?" Gu Xiaoxia asked in surprise.

"Yes, I'm back." Li Long said with a smile, "I was in a hurry, so I slaughtered a wild goat to put some meat at home, but not much. Two of my friends in the mountains are in the animal husbandry team, I'm going to give them some meat and supplies, and sell some Fritillaria."

"Okay, then when will you be back?"

"I'll leave in a moment. It's the Fritillaria season now. There are a lot of supplies in the cabin, and the braided carrying handles are also there. I dare not leave for too long."

"Okay, then you should be careful." Gu Xiaoxia was a little disappointed, but she also knew that the work in the mountains was the most important thing for Li Long. She gave him a few words of advice and went to work.

Li Long drove a tractor into the yard and took the undried Fritillaria to the side room to dry in the sun. Then he collected all the dried Fritillaria. Together with the Fritillaria he had dried in the mountains, there was half a bag in total.

Li Long estimated that these Fritillarias were less than 20 kilograms, which was not a small amount. He left the half of the antler in the wing room and did not plan to take it with him. It was too little, so he should accumulate some and sell it later.

After finishing these things, Li Long drove out in his tractor, locked the door and went directly to the purchasing station.

Chen Hongjun came out when he heard the sound of the tractor. When he saw Li Long, he smiled and said:

"From the sound of the tractor, I guess it's you. You came here when I just got to work. Did you arrive last night?"

"No, I arrived this morning." Li Long drove the tractor to the yard of the purchasing station and said with a smile, "It's the Fritillaria season in the mountains now, so I've been very busy recently. Look, I collected a bag of dried Fritillaria and sent it to you."

"It must be the right one you sent." Chen Hongjun said so, but after Li Long took the Fritillaria down, he still opened the bag and checked it carefully, then poured it into the large basket inside the counter and looked through it.

"Not bad, not bad. Almost no impurities, no mold or spoilage. It will definitely be graded as Grade One." Chen Hongjun nodded in appreciation after reading it. "I'll weigh it and issue you an invoice now."

Eighteen kilograms for nine yuan, forty-five yuan per kilogram, a total of eight hundred and fifty yuan and fifty cents.

After Li Long received the money, Chen Hongjun originally wanted to chat with him, but Li Long was really busy as he had to do other things.

He took the money and went to the department store to buy some things. Some of these things were to be placed in the wooden house as supplementary supplies, and some were to be sent to Halimu and Yushanjiang's homes. Since the strong laborers on both sides were not there, Li Long naturally had to take on the responsibility of delivering the supplies when he was free.

In addition to daily necessities, he also bought some exercise books, pens and other stationery items. These should all be useful.

After leaving the department store, Li Long went to the market again, this time to buy food. The food he sent to the two families last time should not have been eaten up, so this time Li Long bought food for the mountains, including eggs.

Sister Yang was still selling breakfast and was very happy to see Li Long driving over with his tractor.

Li Long was hungry, so he stopped and said to her:
"Sister Yang, get me some food."

"Okay!" Sister Yang smiled and served Li Long a bowl of mixed noodle porridge and a steamed dough pancake with vegetables. This surprised Li Long a little, because Sister Yang also started making noodles.

This cake is made of white flour mixed with corn flour. It is baked until it is golden brown and looks appetizing.

Li Long ate a pancake in two or three bites, and then Sister Yang picked up another one for him. After finishing it, he waved his hand to indicate that he would not eat anymore, and drank the warm porridge in one breath. Li Long wiped his mouth and handed the bowl to Sister Yang. He went to the back bucket and took out a piece of wild goat ribs from the sack and handed it to Sister Yang:
"I caught this in the mountains today. I'll leave a piece here for you. Eat it slowly. I'm leaving now!"

The tractor rumbled away from the market, leaving behind a cloud of smoke.

The direction of the animal husbandry team is directly south of the county town, parallel to the direction of Qingshui River. There is also a road to Xiaobaiyanggou, so Li Long plans to go to the animal husbandry team, give the things to Halimu's mother and Yushanjiang's family, and then go directly up the mountain from Xiaobaiyanggou to the wooden house. The animal husbandry team is relatively quiet now. The children are all in school. Most of the people left behind are elderly people. They sit in the house when they have nothing to do, twisting wool yarn or basking in the sun. He smelled a fragrant smell of naan, but he didn't know whose family was making naan.

Li Long first arrived at Halimu's home. Halimu's mother, the old lady, was stacking cow dung cakes in the yard. These should have been brought by Halimu. The cow dung cakes were piled half a person high against the wall, and coal covered with grass was next to them.

Hearing the sound of the tractor, the old lady turned her head and looked over. When she saw Li Long, she was stunned for a moment, then she grinned.

Li Long turned off the engine and got out of the car, saying to the old lady:

"I brought you meat!"

After he said that, he remembered that the old lady didn't understand Mandarin, so he went to the truck bed, took out two wild goat legs, and gestured to the old woman.

The old man waved his hands hurriedly and said a bunch of words. Li Long could only hear the "no" meaning, but couldn't understand the rest.

However, he did not allow the old lady to refuse and walked into the house with the leg of lamb.

The house was really small, with the kitchen and bedroom together, a bit like a winter nest in the mountains. Li Long found an empty basin and put the meat in it.

The old lady followed in, still saying something, but Li Long didn't care. When he cut up the sheep, he basically removed the four legs and cut off the ribs. He left one of the ribs for Sister Yang, and planned to keep the remaining ribs and the spine in the wooden house and eat them slowly.

There are two families here, each with two legs, one in front and one behind, indistinguishable from each other.

Putting the leg of lamb down, Li Long took out another set of daily necessities and placed them on the bed. He could understand everything inside, so he didn't explain much.

The old lady took out a small bag from her clothes, opened it layer by layer, and found money inside. Li Long waved his hands and helped her close the bag again. She couldn't ask for money, that would be a slap in the face!

Seeing that Li Long didn't want to take the money, the old man went to make milk tea. Li Long waved his hand hastily, pointed at the car, and said:
"Yushan River!"

What he meant was that he would send some meat to Yushan Jiang's family. Then he waved to the old lady and left.

In fact, if he had enough time, he planned to stay and chat with the old lady. Even if he couldn't understand what she was saying, it would feel different to have someone talking to the old lady.

Let's wait until I'm done with this busy period. As I said before, I still have to renovate the houses and yards of two families, so I don't have time for the moment.

Li Long drove the tractor, went up, waved to the old lady, and went to Yushan Jiang's house.

After watching Li Long leave, the old lady wiped her eyes and turned to process the meat. It was a hot day, and the meat would go bad if it wasn't processed.

Yushanjiang's wife was growing vegetables in the yard. It wasn't like they didn't grow vegetables. Yushanjiang's wife would grow some. Li Long saw that there seemed to be potatoes? And radishes?
But no matter what, seeing her looking at him, Li Long greeted her, and then took out two lamb legs from the truck bed. This surprised Yushanjiang's wife, and like Halimu's mother, she said a lot of things.

Li Long smiled, handed her the leg of lamb, then turned around and went to the car to get some daily necessities, and put them into the house.

The woman said something that Li Long didn't understand. He just pointed at the tractor outside, indicating that he had something urgent to do, and was about to go out.

Yushanjiang's wife chased him out and wanted to give him money, but Li Long refused.

Are you kidding? How can I charge money?

He felt that he owed Halimu, Yushanjiang and others too much, and if measured in money, it would be incalculable.

Of course, everyone owes each other.

Li Long got on the tractor, waved to Yu Shanjiang's wife, and was about to drive away when a man on horseback came over. When he saw Li Long, he asked in Mandarin with a rolled tongue:
"Are you Yushanjiang's friend?"

"Yes. I'm sending some things to his family. They've moved to another place, and without the man, there must be some difficulties at home."

"Yeah, I heard about you from Yushanjiang," said the man, who was in his forties and wearing a worn baseball cap. "I'm Adili, the deputy captain of the animal husbandry team. I heard that you also sent them something last time, which was very good. It's really great for both families to have a friend like you. On behalf of the animal husbandry team, thank you!"

"You're welcome, Duosen and Adasi, you're welcome." Li Long smiled and said, "If there's nothing else, I won't stay. I still have some things to do in the mountains. I'll come over in a while and repair the houses for the two families. We can talk then, how about it?"

"Okay, okay." Adili's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "You are really good! Yakesi! The real Adasi!"

With Adili's help, Li Long left the pastoral team and drove directly into the mountains.

Adili asked Yushanjiang's wife why this man came here. Yushanjiang's wife told him the truth. Adili nodded and left.

Li Long entered the mountain and turned to the entrance of Xiaobaiyanggou, but he did not enter the ditch, but drove directly to the wooden house.

The people in the team that was responsible for carrying the tractors in Baiyanggou also heard the rumbling sound. They thought the tractor would turn in, but the sound came from far away and then went away.

"Isn't it Xiaolong's tractor? Have new tractors been brought into the mountains? Are there so many rich people now?" Lu Yingming asked curiously while plaiting the handlebars.

"No, this tractor belongs to Xiaolong." Li Jianguo is very familiar with the sound of his brother's tractor. "He must have something to do and is in a hurry to get back to the wooden house. Didn't you hear that the sound came from the east, which means he didn't come from the mountain above Qingshui River. There are a lot of things in his wooden house, and it will be bad for him to leave for a long time."

When Li Long's tractor arrived near the wooden house, he saw someone running south in panic from the direction of the wooden house. He drove the tractor quickly to chase after him. The man saw the tractor chasing him and immediately ran to the west away from the tractor. Li Long looked at the distance, stopped the car, turned off the engine, raised his gun and fired a shot at the top of the man.

"Stop, or I'll shoot you in the leg!"

The man was startled and fell to the ground. When he got up and was about to run, he heard Li Long's shout and immediately stopped running.

This guy really dares to shoot!

Li Long strode over with a gun in hand. When he passed the wooden house, he found that both doors of the house had been pried open.

He was very angry when he saw things spilled all over the floor!

When he approached the man, he found that he was carrying two pockets, both of which were bulging. Li Long guessed that if the man was not too greedy and just took some things and left, he might not have noticed it.

The man lay on the ground, not daring to move. When he heard the footsteps, he begged for mercy:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was really hungry, and when I saw you weren't here, I thought of opening the door to see what was inside, but... I couldn't help myself..."

Li Long didn't believe his nonsense. How could you contain so many things if you couldn't help it?

He stepped forward and kicked the man in the ribs, causing him to scream in pain.

"Don't pretend, get up! Carry the things back to the cabin!"

The man did not dare to resist. He covered his liver area and climbed up obediently. He carried the things and slowly moved towards the wooden house.

Li Long pointed a gun at him and walked to the front of the wooden house. He sternly told him to put the things down. Then he took a rope, tied the guy up tightly, and then started beating him up!
The main thing was that he found that many things in the house were not taken away and were destroyed!
The rice and flour bags were slashed open, and the dried meat that was not taken away was thrown on the ground, and some of it was stepped on. The lid of the wine was also opened, and a cage was even overturned on the ground. Now the whole room smelled of wine!
This guy is a piece of shit!

For a while, screams were heard continuously, but Li Long didn't care at all, nor did he try to stop him from speaking, he just kept beating him up ruthlessly.

After he calmed down a little, his face had turned into a pig's head, but the most serious injury should be his ribs. Li Long should have broken or cracked several of his ribs.

You deserve it! (End of this chapter)
