Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

Before Li Long opened the door, Liu Shanmin spoke from outside:

"Two men rushed over, and there were wolves chasing them."

"Be careful." Li Long opened the door and walked out with his gun in hand. Since it was a wolf chasing people, no matter what, people could not be killed by wolves here.

Three wolves were chasing Boss Deng and the other two towards this side. Boss Deng was in a panic and ran a little too fast, so he fell down. The man next to him rushed past him like a gust of wind, around the pile of carrying handles, and rushed towards the wooden house.

He knew that as long as he rushed to the wooden house, he would survive.

"Feng Er, give me a hand!" Deng Lao Da shouted in panic as he climbed up. Feng Er ignored him. Although he had never heard of the story, he knew this truth: I may not be able to outrun the wolf, but as long as I can outrun my companions, I will most likely survive!

A wolf rushed up and pounced on Boss Deng on the ground. Boss Deng reacted quickly even though his life was in danger. He rolled over to avoid the wolf, grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and threw it at the wolf. At the same time, he got up and rushed towards the wooden house, cursing with tears and anger:

"Feng Er, you wait for me! After I survive, I will be the first one to not let you go!"

Feng Er didn't care about all that. Seeing that the wooden house was only twenty or thirty meters ahead, the chance of survival was right in front of him. At this point, he didn't care who Boss Deng was.

The worst that can happen is that we can just go our separate ways afterwards.

"Bang!" Li Long fired.

In fact, the three wolves had already slowed down when Deng Lao Da and Feng Er ran to the pile of carts. They were attracted by the blood in the truck bed, and then they saw the two preys and naturally wanted to pounce on them and eat them.

This is a restricted area for wolves, and they know it well. The wolf pounced on Boss Deng because he fell down, and his posture was too convenient for hunting. If the wolf didn't pounce on him, it would be too unworthy of the title of wolf.

But the leader wolf at the back was always staring at this side. When Li Long opened the door to the house, it had already growled to warn its companions. When Li Long raised his gun and aimed, the leader wolf growled, turned around and ran into the forest.

Although there was a moon, it was not a full moon and the sky was not very bright. Li Long's bullets hit the air and the three wolves quickly ran towards the forest and disappeared.

If something cannot be done, just escape a thousand miles away. These wolves are well versed in the art of war.

These words flashed through Li Long's mind, and then he saw Boss Deng and Feng Er fighting with each other.

Boss Deng cursed and swore. He was not good at fighting, he could only tear Feng Er and kept shaking and pushing him back. Feng Er was explaining at first, and glanced at him from time to time, but later he got annoyed by Boss Deng, broke free from his hand, and punched him in the chest. Boss Deng was stunned and stood there.

Liu Shanmin was watching the two men at the door of the shed like he was watching a play. Li Long became impatient and walked forward with a gun. Boss Deng wanted to explain, but he didn't expect Li Long to suddenly hold the gun with both hands and hit him in the chest with the butt of the gun.

Boss Deng almost choked as he fell backwards to the ground. Feng Er was stunned for a moment and tried to dodge, but the butt of a gun hit him.

The third time, the fourth time...

Li Long absolutely didn't believe that two people would pass by here in the middle of the night. Besides, these two people were familiar and had a grudge against each other, so the purpose of their coming here was self-evident.

Anyway, it won't be a good thing.

Feng Er was hit so hard that he rolled all over the ground, screaming and finally shouting:

"I'm going to fight you, stop fighting! It was Boss Deng who sent me here to burn your weapon and let you vent your anger. I'm just a follower! He was the one who came up with the idea!"

Boss Deng was still pretending to be dead, touching his chest. When he heard what Feng Er said, he immediately stood up and started cursing:
"Fuck you, I told you to come over. Didn't you also say that this was the idea? Would I have come if you hadn't instigated me? Now you're putting the blame on me, do you think Boss Li is stupid...Ah——!"

Before he could finish his words, Li Long's gun butt hit him without warning.

Previously, Liu Shanmin told Li Long to be on guard against someone burning the handles. Li Long took it seriously and divided the handles into several piles.

Now it seems that if someone like Boss Deng really wants to attack us in the middle of the night, we will not be able to defend against him!
After all, everyone was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night. If the fire really woke people up, it would probably be impossible to put it out, right?

Li Long was a little scared. These two hundred pieces of money were more than a thousand yuan! He could afford the loss, but it would also hurt!
All thanks to those wolves!
Li Long hated these two people so much that he hated them even more than he hated Lin Xiaohu and He Yi!
So they really didn't care about the severity of their attacks. If Liu Shanmin hadn't persuaded them, these two people would have been smashed to death by Li Long!
Even so, when Li Long stopped, the two men's faces were covered in blood and several bones in their bodies were probably broken.

"What are you going to do with the two of them?"

"Send it to the forestry team tomorrow morning." Li Long thought it over, "Send it there as scrap state public property. These scrap metal pieces will be sent to the supply and marketing cooperatives and then distributed to various prefectures in northern Xinjiang. They deliberately destroyed the scrap metal pieces, which is destroying state property." Li Long convicted the two men with a light touch.

Of course, it may not be this crime, but when talking to Xiao Mu at the Forestry Team Police Station, you can guide him in this direction.

After finding a rope to tie up the two men, Li Long said to Liu Shanmin:

"Go back to sleep, we'll talk during the day."

"Just ignore them? What if the wolves come again?"

"It all depends on their luck." Li Long didn't care about these two bad guys at this time.

"Let's drag it into the shed." Liu Shanmin shook his head. "If it's really eaten by wolves, it will be bloody and sticky. It won't look good."

Li Long picked up one in each hand and threw it into the corner of the shed, scaring the roe deer.

As for the screams of these two people, Li Long completely filtered out.

When they were sleeping, Liu Shanmin also told the two people:
"Stop yelling. You will be locked up for a while at most. If you yell now, I won't be able to sleep, so I'll drag you two out. I won't be able to stop you when the wolf comes."

Although Deng Lao Da and Feng Er were in great pain, they knew the seriousness of the situation and immediately stopped talking.

Liu Shanmin covered himself with the quilt and closed his eyes with satisfaction.

As for those two, isn’t it normal to freeze them?

When Li Long woke up again, he heard Liu Shanmin building a fire outside. Looking at the sky, it should have been light not long ago. He got up, put on his clothes, first emptied the ashes in the stove, used the hay and wood chips placed beside it to rebuild the stove, and then boiled water.

When I opened the door, a gust of fresh and cool air hit me in the face, and my mind immediately became clear.

"Are you up?" Liu Shanmin was boiling water. "What are you going to eat in the morning?"

"Toasted steamed bread slices, white porridge. How about those two?"

"They hummed all night. I told them to throw them out if they started to scream. Now it seems they are doing well. They dare not make loud noises. I had a good sleep. Now they are asleep."

"Okay, let's have breakfast and I'll take them to the forestry team's police station. It looks like we can't leave these people here anymore. We have to take them back."

Liu Shanmin smiled and said nothing.

After a simple wash, Li Long went to the shed to see the two men. Feng Er might have been careless or really tired and sleepy, so he fell asleep. However, Boss Deng was not asleep. He leaned against the wood of the shed. When he saw Li Long coming, his face, which was as swollen as a pig's head, forced out a strange smile. He whispered to Li Long:

"Boss Li, I still have some money saved. I'll give it all to you. Just let me go! I promise to sell you all the Fritillaria I dig next time. One dollar a kilogram. No, fifty cents is fine! Just let me go..."

Li Long ignored him. His main purpose was to see if the two were alive.

Now I regretted that I hit them too hard yesterday, and I don't know if these two can move on their own now. Fortunately, Feng Er's breathing was stable, so there shouldn't be any big problems.

Toasted steamed bread slices, red tofu, rice porridge, and cold mushrooms.

It was a hearty breakfast. As they ate, Boss Deng kept licking his lips. From last night till now, he hadn't had any food, not even saliva. He was thirsty and hungry, and he couldn't stand it any longer.

But he didn't dare shout loudly, for he was afraid that he would be beaten again if he opened his mouth.

After dinner, Li Long started the tractor, picked up the two people and threw them onto the truck bed.

When Boss Deng saw that the truck bed had been completely cleaned of blood, his face turned pale with fright.

"Feel it? This is human blood. We just killed two of them yesterday. You guys, just wish you good luck. Who told you to walk into the muzzle of a gun?" Li Long saw Boss Deng's expression and tried to scare him. Boss Deng rolled his eyes and fainted!

"Coward!" Li Long didn't expect this guy to be so easily frightened. He fainted right away? Isn't this self-protection mechanism too strong?

Not interesting.

Li Long said hello to Liu Shanmin and drove the tractor eastward.

Liu Shanmin packed up the remaining things, then led the roe deer out to a place with plenty of grass and let them graze, while he began to take out the bedding to dry in the sun.

I feel like my injuries are almost healed. Should I leave this place?
After a while, two people came over carrying two bags of Fritillaria. They saw that there was no tractor in the forest, but there were people who came over after hesitating for a while.

They are Li Zhengtang and Li Zhengting.

"Hello, comrade. Where is Mr. Li?" Li Zhengtang asked Liu Shanmin with a smile, "We sold Fritillaria to him...you..."

He had been here once and knew that this person had some relationship with Li Long. He wasn't sure what the relationship was, but it was good that he was not from the forestry team.

"Boss Li has gone out to do some work, and he might not be back until noon. You guys decide, either leave the Fritillaria here and wait for me, or carry it back, or leave it here and wait for Boss Li to come back so I can tell him."

Li Zhengtang and Li Zhengting looked at each other, thought for a while, and Li Zhengtang said:
"I believe in Boss Li. Let's just leave the Fritillaria here. We'll come back at noon. By the way, what's your name?"

"My last name is Liu." Liu Shanmin didn't expect the two to really put down the Fritillaria. He thought they were definitely going to carry the Fritillaria back. After all, the two bags of Fritillaria looked heavy, at least 30 kilograms.

Nearly a hundred dollars!
Just leave it here like this?

Okay, if people believe it, just leave it alone.

Li Zhengtang took another look at the Fritillaria, then nodded to Liu Shanmin and took Li Zhengting away. They still had bags and could dig more. If they dug well for a whole morning, they could dig two or three kilograms.

Liu Shanmin carried the two bags of Fritillaria and placed them in the shed, at least they were not so conspicuous.

He originally wanted to follow Li Long's example and wash the Fritillaria, but then he thought better of it. How to deal with it is up to Li Long, and it won't be too late to wash it after Li Long decides. If someone he doesn't like sends a Fritillaria, Li Long has to have other ways to deal with it. If he washes it himself, that would be a disaster.

It's better to be cautious.

Li Long drove the tractor all the way to the forestry team's point. At this time, Bolati and his team had already left the forestry team on horseback and started patrolling the forest.

At the mountain pass, Li Long met Bolati and his four companions. He stopped, and Bolati and his companions also stopped.

"Li Long, are you going down the mountain?" Bolati came over to greet him with a smile. Yesterday, Li Long sent someone over, and the other members of the forestry team knew him, but because they were not familiar with him, they just smiled and did not come up.

"I caught two people who destroyed state property." Li Long pointed at Deng Lao Da and Feng Er in the truck and said to Bolati, "I'm going to send them to Xiao Mu."

"Mustafa went to the county early this morning." Bolati replied first, and then asked:
"What did they do? Huh? They look familiar. Have I met them before?"

"They were two of the three Fritillaria you took away from your friend's house." Li Long said, "They were so angry that they ran over in the middle of the night to burn my handles. Just think about it, if those handles were to be burned, how would I treat the supply and marketing cooperative? Those were the goods that the supply and marketing cooperative supplied to the entire northern Xinjiang!"

After hearing this, Bolati understood that these two people should actually hate him, but they didn't dare to do anything to him, so they hated Li Long and wanted to vent their anger on Li Long.

"Okay, hand the person over to me and I'll take care of it!" Bolati felt that Li Long was very righteous, so he couldn't let Li Long get into trouble, so he said directly:

"I'll tie the two men up and send them to the forestry team. When Xiao Mu comes back, I'll hand them over to him and tell him what you said. Humph, these two people are ruining state property. They should be locked up for at least five years!"

Li Long lifted the two men down, and the two men could not walk anymore. Bolati then called another man and asked him to put one man on the back of the horse, and in this way they carried the two men away.

Li Long believed that Bolati would keep his word, and these two people would be detained for a period of time. There were so many people digging Fritillaria in the mountains, and there shouldn't be many who had a problem with him. With these two groups of people killing chickens to scare monkeys, I don't think there will be many people who will plot against him, right?

When Li Long drove the tractor back to the wooden house, Liu Shanmin came out and told him what had happened just now when Li Zhengtang and the others came.

"Two brothers? I see." Li Long smiled. "Not bad, quite sensible. Let me see... I'll punish them. Since they trust me, I can't let them down."

Li Long went over to weigh them. One bag was 17 kilograms and the other was 14 kilograms. They were both a little short, so Li Long rounded up the amount.

These two bags of mother-of-pearl are relatively clean, which is why Li Long rounded up the amount.

He didn't go to wash first, but waited until the two brothers came over.

"You stay here first. I'm going to transport these poles back to Xiaobaiyanggou." Li Long made a decision. "If anyone comes, you can deal with them. I'll be back before noon."

Li Long went to load the handlebars into the tractor bucket. Liu Shanmin wanted to come over to help, but Li Long waved his hand and told him to go and rest. He was injured after all, so he should not move.

There were fifty or sixty handles installed, which looked a bit dangerous. Li Long used ropes to secure these handles. It looked really easy to flip over as they were so high.

Li Long was thinking, after loading all the handlebars, should he install a rack on the tractor bucket? A double-layer wooden rack is often used in rural areas. With the wooden rack installed, more can be loaded when pulling wheat bundles. The wooden rack can also be removed at other times.

Well, after we pull the handle over there, we’ll do this.

Let's chop wood first.

Li Long was in the mountains, so he had enough time to do these things slowly. He had no shortage of materials and time. He had done this in his previous life, so he naturally understood the techniques.

Have confidence.

When the sound of the tractor was heard at the entrance of Xiaobaiyanggou, Li Jianguo and the others were a little puzzled.

How come you're here at this time?

But when they saw Li Long pulling a cart of carts over, they understood.

Li Jianguo and Xie Yundong immediately dropped their work and ran over. After Li Long stopped the tractor, they came over to help unload the handle.

Others came one after another. Dozens of people carried the loads, and each person did a few things before unloading the items. It didn't take much effort.

"Someone was planning to burn my handle yesterday, so I came here." Li Long took the initiative to explain to his elder brother Li Jianguo.

"Where are the people?" Li Jianguo was a little angry.

"He was beaten up and handed over to Bolati, the man from the forestry team. He said he would be imprisoned for at least five years."

"Okay, that's fine." When Li Jianguo heard that he would be imprisoned for five years, he agreed.

Li Long did not mention the robbery and murder last night, but Li Jianguo asked:

"Did you shoot when you were going back yesterday? What? Did you run into a wolf?"

"Yeah, we just ran into wolves." Li Long said, "It's no big deal. Wolves are very cunning nowadays. They will run away when they hear the gunshots."

After unloading the handles, Li Long did not linger here and hurried back. There were still several piles of handles over there, and it would be best if they could be unloaded today.

So that day, the rumbling sound of Li Long's tractor kept echoing throughout the northern slope of the Tianshan Mountains. The people digging Fritillaria in the mountains also heard it, but no one paid any attention. They all bent down quickly to dig Fritillaria, trying to dig out as many as possible before they bloomed, and then sell them for money.

There may be only one season in a year. If you dig well in this season, you can earn a year's worth of money.

Liu Shanmin made lunch. He was not good at steaming rice, but he was good at making steamed buns. He cut some cooked meat, mixed some mushrooms, and cooked mushroom soup. After pulling two trips, Li Long stopped to eat and was satisfied with the food.

Then I saw Li Zhengtang and Li Zhengting coming over. (End of this chapter)
