Chapter 42

Li Long drove the carriage out of the production team, and all the way west until he was about to reach the commune, he looked back and discovered a black shadow walking in this direction at a distance of less than one kilometer from him.

There was no pollution now, the field of vision was relatively open, Li Long thought who got up so early to go out?

Big winter, it was minus thirty degrees outside at this time, usually unless there was an urgent matter, few people went out. At this time, it wasn't like later generations, every family had no spare money, and there weren't many good things in the county commune, so basically everyone stayed at home and didn't go out much.

Of course, Li Long was just curious, and continued to walk forward.

He wasn't idle on the horse-drawn carriage either, he carried that bundle of fine iron wire on his body, and started making rabbit snares while on the horse-drawn carriage.

Rabbit snares were actually very simple, he didn't talk nonsense with Tao Daqiang, just rolled a circle, wrapped a live buckle, ensuring that the rabbit would shrink easily after stepping into the snare.

After all, the most important technique lay in the position where the rabbit snare was set. The rest had to be left to luck. He remembered setting rabbit snares in the previous life, under the condition of good luck, catching six rabbits by setting more than twenty snares was relatively ideal.

The horse-drawn carriage didn't stop at the commune, the commune's sales department hadn't opened yet, and there was nothing to buy inside, Li Long went straight to the county, he planned to go to the black market to bring some grain to Halimu's family.

Two things couldn't be missing in the daily life of Kazakh herdsmen, one was milk tea, one was naan. Milk tea needed tea leaves and salt. Naan needed flour.

When arriving at the county town, Li Long put down that bundle of thirty or forty rabbit snares, jumped off the horse-drawn carriage and prepared to follow for a while to move around. When he turned his head to look, he discovered that the black shadow behind was still there.

That person also went to the county?

Li Long still didn't think much, after entering the county, he turned a corner and went straight to the black market.

Now the sky was already bright, there weren't many people in the black market, fortunately, those selling grain were still there. Li Long also saw people selling chickens and meat, and also selling fish, it seemed that he wasn't the only one thinking about catching fish to sell.

Business wouldn't be easy to do in the future.

Bought ten kilograms of flour at a high price, the other party also gave a small cloth bag, which made Li Long quite happy.

Passing by and looking at other stalls, discovered there was nothing good to buy, so he drove the horse-drawn carriage toward Qingshui River.

Just out of the black market, Li Long heard a burst of chaos behind him. When he turned his head to look, he discovered two people wearing red armbands ran over, those who set up stalls packed up, those who escaped escaped, a chaotic mess of chickens flying and dogs jumping.

Although it had nothing to do with Li Long, he still subconsciously flicked the whip, driving the horse-drawn carriage to leave this place of right and wrong quickly.

At the other end of the black market, Gu Ermao pushed aside the crowd and squeezed forward desperately. He tried hard to keep up with Li Long's pace, but now the crowd was chaotic, everyone was running around, he couldn't squeeze over at all.

Gu Ermao was so angry that he cursed, but who would pay attention to him?

When the people rushing out of the black market scattered, those stall owners also hid, he then had time, but saw that there was no shadow of the horse-drawn carriage in the distance ahead.

"You! Just you! What are you doing?" Gu Ermao was still looking for the trace of the horse-drawn carriage, a voice stopped him.

Gu Ermao turned his head and took a look, seeing it was someone wearing a red armband, scared him to turn his head and run, but another person wearing a red armband grabbed him, sneered and said:

"Speculation and profiteering! Do you know what the crime is? Which commune are you from? Come with us for a trip!"

Seeing Gu Ermao's clothing, he wasn't from any unit in the county, so these two wearing armbands had no psychological pressure to catch him. These two days, more and more people set up stalls in the black market, and more and more people came here, the leaders knew, and specifically called their leaders to scold them.

If they didn't catch one or two people, how to explain?

Gu Ermao hurriedly defended:

"I'm not, I'm just here to find someone..."

"Hehe, run to the black market early in the morning to find someone? You'd better wait until you go in and confess properly! Go!"

Saying that, he pushed Gu Ermao fiercely and walked forward. Gu Ermao couldn't cry, wasn't he just wanting to follow Li Long to see where he entered the mountains, how could he be so unlucky?

Li Long naturally didn't know that Gu Ermao was caught because of following him, he drove the horse-drawn carriage out of the county town and then slowed down.

There was still no one on the road, Li Long simply got off the horse-drawn carriage, followed and walked forward, exercising could also warm up.

The horse-drawn carriage entered the mountains, and when he could see Halimu's winter nest, the road was already not easy to walk.

Previously, it was fine with Tao Daqiang's help to push, now it was a bit difficult to pull the horse-drawn carriage alone.

Fortunately, some roads had already been pressed out before, Li Long pulled hard in front holding the horse reins, barely stopped at the place where he stopped before, he unloaded the horse-drawn carriage, led the horse, and walked toward Halimu's winter nest with the small bag of flour.

The dog barked twice and didn't bark, still wagging its tail in front of the winter nest.

Halimu opened the door and walked out. Seeing Li Long, a smile appeared on his face.

"How are you?" Li Long said with a smile.

Halimu was stunned when he heard it, then laughed loudly, came over to take Li Long's reins and also said:

"Good, good."

Good was "good" in Kazakh, usually greeting like this when meeting, Li Long heard it from his brother Li Jianguo. When Li Jianguo first arrived here, he followed into the mountains, dealt with herdsmen, so he knew some.

!.

Entering the winter nest, Li Long handed the bag of flour to the old man:

"Give it to you, this is flour."

Halimu translated it, the old man took the flour with a smile and handed it to Halimu's wife, then signaled Li Long to get on the wooden platform bed.

Nasen and Sasken, two children, were playing on the wooden kang, and also smiled when they saw Li Long coming. They remembered that this Han uncle brought them candy.

After drinking a bowl of milk tea and warming up, Li Long asked Halimu:

"Have any wolves come over these two days?"

"Yes," Halimu pointed to the 56 semi-automatic rifle hanging on the wall and smiled. "I beat one to death, and another one was injured, and then it didn't come again."

Li Long gave a thumbs up and said:

"You are very amazing!"

"By the way, Li Long, there is a group of wild boars nearby recently, running down the mountains early every day, and running back into the mountains after dawn. Do you want them? If you want, I will take you to fight them tomorrow morning, and you can take them back."

Halimu's words immediately attracted Li Long's attention:

"Far or not?"

"Not far, only less than one kilometer from us. If you don't fight, I will also go to fight them tomorrow and drive them away. Otherwise, they will come to arch my grass."

"Fight!" Li Long immediately became interested. His own pig was superstitious, and there was no New Year pig to eat for the New Year. If he could fight a wild boar, he could also make do.

He remembered another important thing about coming here this time, so he asked Halimu:

"You are in the mountains, have you encountered that kind of relatively beautiful stone? The green one? It's jasper, you should understand, right?"

Halimu laughed when he heard it.
