Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

Tang Hongsheng felt that he was screwed. He was extremely regretful now. Why did he insist on looking there? Wouldn't it be better to leave the mountain?

I went back and didn't find anything. Halfway out of the mountain, I felt a little regretful, as if there was still a place I hadn't searched. In the end, I went back and ended up catching up with the spring rain.

It was raining and I couldn't go anywhere. I finally waited until the rain stopped and thought I would rush to the target area to have a look. If I could find it, I would look for it. If not, I would go out of the mountain. But I ended up running into two enemies.

When the two men saw Tang Hongsheng looking for something, they ran over and threatened him to hand over the thing.

Tang Hongsheng was a brave man and would not suffer a loss in the face of difficulties, so he handed over to them the few coins that looked like copper coins and silver coins that he had just picked up.

The sturdy man searched Tang Hongsheng's body and told him to get out. Tang Hongsheng was glad that he had hidden the money he had exchanged from Li Long, otherwise it would have been taken away.

Knowing that this place was taken by someone, Tang Hongsheng wanted to change the place. Anyway, he had found things in different places in the mountains. Unexpectedly, when he was looking for them in another ravine today, he met those two again.

Fortunately, the two were at the entrance of the ditch. When Tang Hongsheng was shouted, he turned around and ran, and then ran to Li Long.

Seeing Tang Hongsheng running in panic, Li Long put down the bowl and ran into the house to get the gun. However, he gestured for a long time and didn't see what was behind this guy.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Long remembered the tall and thin man and asked, "Is there a wolf behind you? Or is someone chasing you?"

"No, no, there's no one here, I'm just hungry... By the way, will you accept this?" Tang Hongsheng didn't tell the truth. He was worried that if he told Li Long that someone was chasing him away, Li Long would chase him away as well, otherwise he would be in trouble.

What Tang Hongsheng took out this time was a copper incense burner, which looked very heavy and felt heavy in the hand.

It is also covered with green rust, but the incense burner is thick, so the rust is nothing.

"Take it." Li Long stood up and took the incense burner and looked at it. He found that Liu Shanmin was also looking at the incense burner, so he handed it to him and said:
"You want to see it too?"

"This is the style of the Xuande furnace." Liu Shanmin was quite knowledgeable. He looked at the furnace and said, "It's just a Qing imitation of the Ming. It's not the real thing."

"It's not real?" Tang Hongsheng originally wanted a high price, but when he heard that it was a fake, he lost the confidence to ask for a high price.

"Can it be exchanged for... ten dollars?" Tang Hongsheng was a little expectant.

"Yes." Liu Shanmin nodded and turned to look at Li Long.

"Okay, if you say it's okay, it's okay." Such a heavy copper stove can be sold for three or five dollars even if you sell copper, not to mention it is an antique.

"Then can I still have a meal?" Tang Hongsheng climbed up the pole directly after hearing it. He turned his head to look behind him and found that no one was catching up with him, so he finally put his heart at ease.

"Okay." Li Long went to find an enamel bowl and filled it with rice, then pointed to the cooked and cut internal organs and wolf meat on the table.

Tang Hongsheng took the bowl and immediately started eating. Although he had exchanged some food before, how could the food there be compared with what he had here? It was simply not comparable. He hadn't had a proper meal for several days.

Li Long poured him another bowl of rice soup. Since you promised to give him a meal, don't be too stingy.

After eating two bowls, Tang Hongsheng patted his stomach and felt full. After drinking the rice soup, he stood up and looked at Li Long.

"Go wash the dishes, I'll get you the money." Li Long said unceremoniously, "No one will clean up for you here."

As he said this, he went to the inner room and came out with a big unity in his hand.

Tang Hongsheng took the money, looked at the mountain again, then said hello to the two people and left quickly.

"Someone just wandered around in the woods over there, and then retreated back inside." Liu Shanmin waited for Tang Hongsheng to leave, and then said to Li Long, "They must be chasing this guy."

"Yes, it should be." Li Long nodded.

"They probably saw you there, so they didn't continue chasing you. You have a high reputation here, and others don't dare to chase you when they see you."

"It's not that I have a high prestige, it's that I have a gun in my hand." Li Long patted the gun and said, "This thing is the real power."

Li Long said this, but he had not expected that because of these two things, his place might be regarded as a place like the Peace Hotel.

Don't make trouble here. If you want to make trouble, you have to wait until you leave.

That's the situation.

Of course, it's just YY, he doesn't really have that kind of prestige.

Lin Xiaohu and He Yiku watched Tang Hongsheng go to Li Long and sighed.

"Boss, do you want to pursue me?"

"What are you chasing? We can't chase them anymore." Lin Xiaohu turned around and walked back into the mountain. "Let's go to that spot and have a look. I just hope that it hasn't been washed away or dug up by anyone."

The good news is that several points have been discovered, but the bad news is that the contents of the several points discovered so far show signs of leakage.

Now he just hoped that the most precious things would not be exposed. Unless he had no choice, he did not want to confront Li Long. The local tyrant had guns and connections. If he provoked him, he would be in endless trouble unless he was beaten to death with a stick.

Besides, he also saw that the tall and thin man seemed to have only picked up a stove, which was not a good thing.

"If we fix this stove and sell it, we can get a few dozen yuan." Liu Shanmin pointed at the stove on the counter and said, "But we have to find a suitable buyer. Most people who buy these things these days are in the mainland, not here."

"Then just leave it there. At worst, I can just use it as an incense burner." Li Long really didn't care. He just wanted to keep it. After all, he could slowly clean up and play with these things when he had free time. With it in hand, there was no need to watch TV or see the ones in the museum.

Seeing that Li Long didn't care, Liu Shanmin didn't say anything more. He stood up and slowly went to the spring to wash his bowl.

Watching him wash slowly and carefully, Li Long didn't care much. After cleaning up his own dishes, he planned to take all the meat out of the pot and put it in the small room.

After the fire under the stove is extinguished and the pot is cleaned, the water inside will be dried up. This way, the pot will not rust as long as it does not rain.

After doing all this, Li Long looked around and saw that no one came to exchange things, so he went into the house to take out his own bedding and put it out to dry. After drying it, he said to Liu Shanmin:

"You're injured, so you should hide for a while. Resting will help you recover."

"Okay." Liu Shanmin didn't say much. He slowly moved back to the shed, uncovered the quilt and lay down in it.

After Li Long hung the bedding out to dry, he was too lazy to go looking for mushrooms. The sun was too strong, so he decided to take a rest.

Then I saw Tang Hongsheng running back again.

Li Long looked at him strangely and asked:
"what happened to you?"

"Well... Boss, I heard your tractor go east every afternoon. Where are you going?" Tang Hongsheng did not answer Li Long's question, but asked instead.

"See? That's called a 'lifting handle'. I have a group of people making 'lifting handles' in the ditch in the east, and I go there every day."

"Is there any way out of the mountain?" Tang Hongsheng asked again.

"Yes." Li Long roughly understood Tang Hongsheng's idea.

"Then...can you take me there?"

"Okay, but it will be too late then." Li Long hesitated, "You won't be able to leave the mountain by then."

"Then... can you leave earlier? I'm still scared." Tang Hongsheng expressed his thoughts, "There are still bad guys in this mountain. I'm worried that I'll run into them on the road..."

"Okay." Li Long thought about it and said, "Then go to the truck and have a rest. I'll call you when we leave."

If you accept something from someone and their request is not excessive, you can satisfy it.

In the afternoon, when the sun was still high in the sky, Li Long took out the remaining rice and meat from the house and carried them to the shed. Seeing Liu Shanmin lying there thinking about something, he said:
"I'm going to collect the weapons now. You just lie down here first. If someone comes, tell them that I will be back in the evening. If no one is around, you can have a good rest. I'll light a fire for you. There shouldn't be any wolves coming at this hour."

"Okay." Liu Shanmin nodded.

Li Long put the meal down, went to get firewood to light the fire, then locked the door and started the tractor.

Tang Hongsheng was lying in the tractor's bucket, unable to sleep and not daring to urge Li Long. But when he saw Li Long driving the tractor with a gun on his back, he immediately became happy.

"Leaving now?"

"Now go ahead and sit down."

"I'd better lie down in the tractor." Tang Hongsheng was still worried about being seen, so he lay down in the tractor bed. "It's bumpy lying down here," Li Long reminded him, but when he saw that he didn't come out, he didn't care anymore, drove the tractor around and headed east.

The ground was completely dry, and the tractor was really bumpy on it, but Tang Hongsheng could hold on. When he was searched by the two men for the first time, he felt that the sturdy man's eyes were looking at him and wanted to do him.

He didn't want to take any more risks, so he had to get out of the mountain as soon as possible.

When the tractor reached the ravine where Halimu and his team were, Li Long slowed down and said:

"This is the shortest way out of the mountain, and there is a road. Do you want to come down?"

Tang Hongsheng got up and saw that there was indeed a road leading to the north. He thought for a moment, jumped out of the truck, and said to Li Long:

"thank you!"

Then he ran north along the road.

Li Long looked at his back, then continued driving the tractor towards Xiaobaiyanggou.

In Xiaobaiyanggou, Lao Huang just started cooking, and everyone was weaving the handles. It rained all day the day before yesterday, which delayed a day's work. We started working yesterday afternoon, and today everyone is trying to catch up with the progress.

Every time you add a porter, you get four more dollars, which is real money.

Over a year, Li Long successfully established credibility and guarantees in the team. As long as he said how much money, he would definitely give it in the end.

Although the requirements are strict, it is also for the purpose of getting the task later. Otherwise, no one would agree to this deal.

With two or three incomes every year, wouldn't there be some extra money for the family?
After all, if farmers do not have these sideline incomes, they can only have extra money when they sell their grain during the summer and autumn harvests. How do they spend money on daily expenses?
Now Li Long gives two or three opportunities a year, and each time he can earn a lot of money, and this money is not only used by this family. Who in the team doesn't have relatives or friends? If I have more money, I can take care of others.

At this time, the relationship between neighbors in the village and the team was actually very good. Even if there were one or two rival families, they were not many.

It's not a life-and-death feud. At most, we just pretend not to see each other or turn around when we meet.

Many people laughed when they heard the rumbling sound of the tractor. Li Long didn't come yesterday, so they were wondering if he was doing something else. Even Sun Jiaqiang heard the rumbling sound of the tractor and came out from a ravine in the south, carrying a bag of fritillaria still covered with grass and hurried over.

Li Long drove the tractor to the edge of the dugout, took a bag from the seat and handed it to Lao Huang:

"Brother Huang, this is the wolf offal I braised today. I'll cut it up for everyone to try tonight."

"Okay. Did you go to hunt wolves?" Old Huang was very happy. He had discussed this with Gu Boyuan before deciding to come here. Last year, Gu Boyuan cooked by himself, and he basically picked wild vegetables and mushrooms. The main thing everyone provided was food.

It was actually the same in the past. The chef was paid by work points, so he had to look for ingredients in his spare time. Otherwise, if he only had staple food, everyone would definitely be dissatisfied. As a result, after coming here, Li Long brought meat every now and then, and it became much easier for him to be a chef.

"Xiaolong, did you kill a wolf?" Li Jianguo asked immediately when he heard Li Long say wolf bastards.

"No, someone killed a wolf and gave me something in exchange." Li Long explained vaguely.

"Is there anyone with a gun in this mountain? Are they vagrants?" Li Jianguo was a little worried.

"No, the man hit the wolf to death with a stick. But he was also injured, so I changed his medicine." Li Long explained, "It's okay, I've been mainly changing Fritillaria recently, and haven't gone out hunting."

After hearing this, Li Jianguo was reluctantly relieved and continued to weave the handles.

Li Long took a quick look and found that there were five or six or seven or eight people carrying the weapons in front of each pit, which was more than the last time.

When Li Long looked, Sun Jiaqiang had already come over with the bag. He walked up to Li Long and said with a smile:

"Boss Li, why didn't you come yesterday?"

"Yesterday? I went back to the county. It was raining, and everyone came to exchange Fritillaria. After they exchanged my things, I went to the county to purchase some more supplies." Li Long explained.

"We all heard your tractor passing by here, and you didn't stop. I have 17 or 18 kilograms of Fritillaria here. Can you weigh it for me?"

"So many? Did you go digging for Fritillaria even when it was raining yesterday?"

"Yeah, it's raining. Although it's hard to walk, it's easy to dig Fritillaria. With the rain, Fritillaria have grown wildly in the past two days. We must dig them as soon as possible, otherwise we will have to wait until next year for them to grow and bloom."

Li Long weighed the Fritillaria for Sun Jiaqiang and found it was more than 17 kilograms. Li Long counted it as 18 kilograms and counted out 54 yuan to hand to Sun Jiaqiang.

"Hey, that's great." Sun Jiaqiang took the money and helped Li Long pour the Fritillaria into the bag that Li Long brought over, then turned his head and looked in the direction of Lao Huang:
"Is that cooked offal you brought?"

"Well, I got the wolf this morning. I gutted it and cooked it. You need to add a lot of seasoning to it, otherwise it won't taste good."

"It's good enough to have something to eat, why would I care about so much?" Sun Jiaqiang couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Although the food has been good these days and there is meat every day, they have been malnourished almost all their lives, how can they make up for it with meat in a few days? Even the two children in Li Jianguo's family have had meat almost every day since last year, but if Li Long brought back beef bones and cooked them in a big pot, they would be very greedy.

The meal that Lao Huang cooked today was cornmeal porridge. Because it contains white flour, he specially steamed white flour buns today, without cornmeal, as a snack. In fact, it only takes one and a half buns per person, and the stir-fried dish is mushrooms.

After the rain, there were a lot of straw mushrooms. Lao Huang could easily get a basket of them by just digging at the mountainside, so he fried half a pot of them. This stuff is quite juicy and absorbs oil, so it is still delicious after being fried.

Li Long put the Fritillaria away, and Xie Yundong also came over.

"Brother Yundong, how many have you compiled?" Li Long asked with a smile.

"We have compiled eight from yesterday to today." Xie Yundong's tone was a little proud. In fact, once everyone is devoted to this work, there are basically few problems. The people who came this time were not as troublesome as Xu Jianjun. Li Long had also taken care of the people from the surrounding forestry teams, so there was no trouble, which made him feel much more relaxed.

"Sure, that's more than 30 yuan." Li Long said with a smile, "Then let's take a look?"

"Okay, let's look at mine first. If there are any unqualified ones after you finish reading it, I still have time to re-edit it." Xie Yundong didn't act too arrogantly. He just said it first, so that if there are any unqualified ones later, it would be easier to explain.

After the eight bearers finished checking, Li Long was very satisfied and all of them passed. Two people carried the bearers to the tractor, Li Long took out a notebook to write it down, and then asked Xie Yundong to sign.

Next, before the meal was ready, Li Long went to look at those who were already finishing up the work and began to check the handles one by one.

Including Li Jianguo's.

Even if it was just for show, Li Long checked very seriously. Of course he would let some people off, but what surprised him was that every leader assigned by Li Jianguo, if ranked by grade, was above good standard.

It can be said that this eldest brother attaches more importance to maintaining Li Long's authority than Li Long himself.

After checking almost halfway, Lao Huang called out that it was time for dinner.

After checking Jia Weiguo's handle and putting it in the car, Li Long went to the stream to wash his hands, then took his enamel basin and went to get his meal.

Half of the people have already started eating.

There were some offal brought by Li Long, and a few pieces were put into each bowl, which brought more smiles to everyone's faces.

This is better than what I eat at home, so I am very satisfied.

"Xiaolong, we are all enjoying ourselves by doing this job for you." Lu Yingming took a big bite of the steamed bun and said loudly.

Others echoed.

Li Long finished his meal and went to his elder brother's place. Sun Jiaqiang made room for him and said with a smile:

"Boss Li, would you consider taking me in as your younger brother? I feel like working with you is promising, why don't you just take me in as your subordinate?"

"Are you kidding me?" Li Long said with a smile, "You can earn enough to buy a color TV in one season of Fritillaria, and you still work as someone's younger brother? Are you someone who works as someone's younger brother?"

"As long as you accept it, I'll be your boss." Sun Jiaqiang said as he ate a piece of offal with chopsticks, "It's great to be your boss so that I can eat meat from time to time."

After that, he leaned close to Li Long and said:
"This morning, I saw a monster on a human, a two-headed deer!"

"What? You saw it too?" Li Long asked in surprise.

"What? You've seen it too?"

"Is it a big male deer?" Li Long said.

"Yes! But it ran away when it saw me, and I didn't catch up with it." Sun Jiaqiang said with a bit of regret, "In fact, I didn't dare to chase it, because I was afraid it was a monster." (End of this chapter)
