Chapter 40

Although it wasn't a day off, the department store was quite lively, with many people, loud voices, and very noisy.

Li Long took a look, they were all here to buy New Year's goods. There were many workers in Shicheng, and they had spare money at the end of the year. Even if they couldn't afford big items, weighing two jin of fruit candies, buying some sesame cakes, or two cans of canned food was also a meaning.

Yang Bailao also pulled two feet of red head rope for the New Year.

He saw there were fried dough twists, so he squeezed over and weighed one kilogram. Compared with fruit candies, this kind of snack wrapped in white sugar and deep-fried was obviously more high-end. Then there were roasted peanuts. The production team planted oil sunflowers, and every family could be distributed some in the autumn, part for pressing oil, and some left to roast and eat for the New Year, just that the mouth was black after eating.

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

He strolled around and saw double-barreled shotguns—called sand guns in the local dialect here, because the scattered bullets loaded were iron sand or lead pellets, and single-head bullets were rarely used. One was clearly marked at over three hundred. There were also air guns, one over one hundred.

Small-caliber rifles were one hundred and eighty, the price of a bicycle. Small-caliber rifle bullets were about the same as the tip of a fine pencil, and they could still be sold at this time, which made Li Long quite envious.

Unfortunately, no money.

Strolled around again, saw cotton-padded rubber shoes for children, wanted to buy for Li Qiang and Li Juan, but didn't know the shoe size of the two children, so could only wait for next time.

He strolled around and didn't see any fish nets for sale, so he left the department store, and then let Tao Daqiang go in.

"Daqiang, I bought four kilograms of roasted peanuts, two kilograms for your family and two kilograms for my family. I didn't see the fish net, you go in and look again."

"Alright," Tao Daqiang entered the department store with a nervous and excited mood.

It was just that he came out after a while, and Li Long could even see sweat on his face.

"Why did you come out?"

"Don't... don't know what to buy, too many things, and many people."

Li Long smiled, this was timidity. But it didn't matter, it would be fine after coming a few more times.

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

The supply and marketing cooperative wasn't very far from the department store, and the horse-drawn carriage arrived quickly. At this time, there were few vehicles on the road, but there were a few people riding bicycles passing by in a hurry.

"Are you going in or am I going in?" Arriving at the place, Li Long asked Tao Daqiang.

"Brother Long, you go in, I didn't dare to ask just now," Tao Daqiang was a bit embarrassed. "If there is, buy one 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 voices were smaller.

He strolled around and saw fish nets for sale, but they were those large drag nets, intercepting nets, and the small ones were sticky nets, no landing nets.

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

At this time, there were only single-layer sticky nets, fifty meters of three-finger net for two yuan, and two-finger for one yuan and seven jiao. He knew the price, but didn't buy it, and the salesperson didn't say anything either.

Leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Long told Tao Daqiang the situation. Tao Daqiang was a bit disappointed, but there was no way.

"Go back," Li Long looked at the time, the sun was slightly west, earlier than the time they finished selling yesterday.

But it still took two hours to drive from Shicheng to Maxian, and nearly two hours to drive back, so it should be almost dark by the time they got home.

Passing by the state-run hotel, Li Long bought four buns, and the two of them ate while walking.

When they left Shicheng, Li Long suddenly stopped.

Tao Daqiang was gnawing on a meat bun. Seeing Li Long stop, he asked:

"Brother Long, what's wrong?" He was sitting on the horse-drawn carriage, head facing back, didn't see the situation. "Someone is blocking the road, most likely wanting to rob money," Li Long whispered.

Hearing that they wanted to rob money, Tao Daqiang directly stuffed the bun into his mouth, jumped off the carriage nimbly, and looked forward.

Two young men, one holding an iron chain in his hand, one holding an iron pipe in his hand, were slowly walking toward the horse-drawn carriage.

On both sides were woods, these two guys found a good position, robbing and then directly drilling into the woods, it wouldn't be easy to find them.

"Brother Long, fight or not?" Tao Daqiang was a bit nervous.

"Are you afraid?" Li Long took the whip for driving the horse in his hand, and wrapped the whip rope on the pole, which was convenient for hitting.

"Afraid? Afraid of a fart!" Tao Daqiang spat. "Want to rob our money, then we have to fight to the death!"

Life is wanted, money is also wanted!

"Brothers, we want money, not life, pay some road money, not much, ten yuan, and you can leave. Otherwise, not to mention how the person will be, if your horse is killed, you won't have an easy time either, right?"

The one holding the iron chain stood five meters in front of the horse-drawn carriage and said: "We are not greedy, we know you earned quite a lot of money this trip, how about it?"

"Not how about it!" Li Long sneered. "Want to eat a free meal? Then see if you have this ability!"

!.

He turned his head and said to Tao Daqiang:

"You left, I right..."

Before he finished speaking, Tao Daqiang had already rushed up!

Those two people were startled, what does this mean, fight directly?

Seeing Tao Daqiang rush over, Li Long immediately followed. He held the whip pole and rushed while whipping toward the head of the person holding the iron pipe—the whip was long and had an advantage.

The one holding the iron chain saw Tao Daqiang rush over, knowing it couldn't be good, his chain was already swinging. Didn't expect that although Tao Daqiang was simple, he wasn't a novice at fighting and playing in the team. When jumping up, he suddenly threw the hat on his head at the other party. The person's eyes were dazzled, Tao Daqiang's big foot had already kicked his chest, the person retreated two steps, Tao Daqiang had already stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder, and a headbutt smashed into his face!

The person screamed, covered his head and squatted down, his eyes were full of blood, couldn't see anything, painful and unbearable!

Tao Daqiang's side was a direct collision, Li Long's side belonged to guerrilla fighting. His whip swung up, the other party used the iron pipe to block, Li Long didn't approach, he didn't have Tao Daqiang's physique, and wasn't very good at fighting, but he was flexible, and would give the other party a hit when he was off guard, making the other party very annoyed but helpless.

The person holding the iron pipe thought about rushing toward Li Long regardless, as long as he got close, he could give a ruthless hit, but as a result, he heard his partner's scream!

When turning his head to look, Li Long knew the opportunity had come, he rushed over quickly, grabbed the other party's arm, and tripped him over.

Not good at fighting, but he had practiced wild wrestling!

At this time, Tao Daqiang also came to help, punched the robber who was in a stalemate to the ground, Li Long took the opportunity to step on him a few times, making the other party unable to turn over.

"Search him," Li Long said to Tao Daqiang:

"See if there's anything valuable."

Since they came to rob, they naturally had to have the consciousness of being robbed.

"Brother Long, I have twelve yuan here, a stack of grain tickets," after the fight, Tao Daqiang was simple again, even exposing his address to Li Long.

Li Long's side searched out eight yuan and five jiao, also some grain tickets, and a fountain pen, didn't know if it was robbed from others, or this person's own.

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

"Must leave as soon as possible."

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