Chapter 483: When you should be ruthless, you can't be cowardly

~18 min read 3,417 words

Li Long hadn't opened the door yet, Liu Shanmin outside spoke:

"Two people rushed over, with wolves chasing behind."

"Be careful." Li Long carried the gun, opened the door, and walked out. Since it was wolves chasing people, no matter what, he couldn't let people be bitten to death by wolves here.

Three wolves chased Boss Deng and the other toward here. Boss Deng was panicked, running a bit hurriedly, and fell. The person beside him rushed past him like a gust of wind, detouring around the carrying pole pile and rushing toward the wooden cabin.

He knew that as long as he rushed to the wooden cabin, he could survive.

"Feng Er, pull me!" Boss Deng shouted in panic while crawling. Feng Er ignored him. Although he hadn't heard that story, he knew this truth: I might not run faster than the wolf, but as long as I run faster than my companion, then I can probably survive!

A wolf rushed up, pouncing toward Boss Deng on the ground. Boss Deng reacted quickly at the critical moment of life and death, avoiding the wolf with a lazy donkey roll, grabbed a handful of mud from the ground and threw it at the wolf, and at the same time climbed up and rushed toward the wooden cabin, cursing with tears and anger in his mouth as he rushed:

"Feng Er, you damn thing, wait for me! After I survive, you'll be the first one I won't let go!"

Feng Er didn't care about so much. Seeing the wooden cabin was only twenty or thirty meters ahead, the point of survival was right in front of his eyes. At this time, who Boss Deng was, he didn't care anymore.

At worst, they would part ways after the matter.

"Bang!" Li Long fired.

Actually, when the three wolves ran near the carrying pole pile with Boss Deng and Feng Er, their speed had already slowed down. They were attracted by the blood in the tractor bucket, and then saw two prey, so naturally, they wanted to pounce and eat them.

They also knew this was a forbidden area for wolves. That wolf pouncing on Boss Deng was really because he fell, and the posture was too conducive to predation. If it didn't pounce like this, it would be too sorry for the title of wolf.

But the alpha wolf at the very back had been staring at this side. When Li Long's house opened, it had already issued a low growl, warning its companions, and when Li Long raised his gun to aim, the alpha wolf roared, turned, and ran into the forest.

Although there was a moon, it wasn't a full moon, the sky wasn't very bright, Li Long's bullet hit the empty space, and the three wolves ran quickly into the forest and disappeared.

If the matter cannot be done, escape a thousand miles; these wolves are well-versed in military strategy.

This sentence flashed in Li Long's mind, and then he watched Boss Deng and Feng Er tearing at each other.

Boss Deng was cursing. He didn't know how to fight, only tearing at Feng Er, shaking him, and pushing him backward. Feng Er explained at first, occasionally stealing a glance at himself, but later, being dragged by Boss Deng until he was annoyed, he broke free from his hand, punched him in the chest, and Boss Deng was stunned as if he had been beaten.

Liu Shanmin watched the two people like watching a play at the shed door. Li Long was impatient, carried the gun and stepped forward. That Boss Deng still wanted to explain, but didn't expect Li Long to suddenly hold the gun with both hands, and a gun butt smashed into his chest.

Almost closing his breath, Boss Deng was smashed backward to the ground. Feng Er was stunned for a moment, hurriedly wanting to hide, but the next gun butt smashed into his body.

The third time, the fourth time...

Li Long absolutely didn't believe that these two people would pass by here in the middle of the night. Moreover, these two people were familiar, had grudges, so their purpose of running over was self-evident.

Anyway, it wouldn't be doing good things.

Feng Er was rolling on the ground, screaming constantly, unable to bear it, and finally shouted loudly:

"I confess, I confess, don't hit me! It was Boss Deng who brought me over, wanting to burn your carrying poles, to make you lose some to vent your anger. I'm just a follower! The one who came up with the idea was him!"

Boss Deng was originally touching his chest and pretending to be dead there. Hearing Feng Er say this, he immediately climbed up and cursed loudly:

"Go to your mother, I said it and you followed, didn't you also say this idea was good? If you didn't incite me, could I come? Damn it, now pushing everything to me, do you think Boss Li is stupid... ah—!"

He didn't finish his words, Li Long's gun butt smashed over without a head or brain.

Previously, Liu Shanmin told Li Long to guard against someone burning the carrying poles. Li Long valued it and separated the carrying poles into several piles.

Now it seemed, if someone really wanted to attack in the middle of the night like Boss Deng, it really couldn't be guarded against!

After all, everyone was sleeping dead in the middle of the night. If that fire could really wake people up, it was estimated that it couldn't be extinguished, right?

Li Long was a bit scared. These two hundred carrying poles were more than a thousand yuan! He could afford the loss, but it hurt!

It was also thanks to those few wolves!

Li Long hated these two people so much that his teeth itched, even more than Lin Xiao Hu and He Yi Ku!

So his hands were really heavy. If it wasn't for Liu Shanmin's persuasion, these two people could have been smashed to death by Li Long!

Even so, when Li Long stopped, the two people's faces were bloody, and the bones on their bodies were estimated to have broken several.

"What do you intend to do with them?"

"Send them to the Forestry Team side at dawn." Li Long had thought it out, "Send them over in the name of destroying national public property. These carrying poles are to be sent to the supply and marketing cooperative and then distributed to all parts of Northern Xinjiang. They intentionally destroyed the carrying poles, that is destroying national property." Li Long lightly defined the crime for the two people.

Of course, it wasn't necessarily this crime, but when telling the Forestry Team police station's little Mu, he could guide it in this direction.

Finding a rope to tie the two people up, Li Long said to Liu Shanmin:

"Go back to sleep, white."

"Don't care about them? What if the wolves come again?"

"That depends on their fate." Li Long wouldn't care about these two bad guys at this time.

"Still drag them into the shed." Liu Shanmin shook his head, "If they are really gnawed by wolves, that bloody mess, it's not good to look at."

Li Long carried one in each hand and threw them into the corner of the shed, also scaring that roe deer.

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

When sleeping, Liu Shanmin also told the two people:

"Don't scream. At most, you'll be locked up for a while. You scream now, I can't sleep, so I'll drag you two out, and I won't care if the wolves come then."

Boss Deng and Feng Er, although very painful, knew the importance, and immediately didn't open their mouths.

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

As for those two, isn't it normal to freeze a bit?

When Li Long woke up again, he heard Liu Shanmin building a fire outside. Looking at the daylight, it should be just after dawn. He climbed up, put on his clothes, first dug out the ash in the stove, used the dry grass and wood chips placed on the side to rebuild the stove, and then boiled water.

Opening the house door, a fresh and damp cold air rushed over, and his brain immediately became clear.

"Up?" Liu Shanmin was boiling water, "What are you preparing to eat in the morning?"

"Grilled steamed bun slices, white porridge. How are those two?"

"Hummed all night, I said if they wanted to scream, I'd throw them out. Now it seems they're not bad, don't dare to be loud, I had a good sleep. Now they're asleep."

"That's fine, after we finish breakfast, I'll send people to the Forestry Team police room. It seems these carrying poles can't be put here, they have to be pulled back."

Liu Shanmin smiled and didn't speak.

After Li Long washed simply, he went to the shed to see those two people. Feng Er might have a big heart, or he might be really tired and sleepy, and fell asleep. Boss Deng didn't sleep, leaning against the shed wood. Seeing Li Long come over, his face, swollen like a pig's head, squeezed out a weird smile. He said to Li Long in a low voice:

"Boss Li, I still have some savings, I'll give them all to you, let me go! I guarantee the fritillaria dug later will all be sold to you, one yuan per kilogram, no, fifty cents is fine! As long as you let me go..."

Li Long didn't pay attention to him, he mainly wanted to see if these two were alive.

Now he was a bit regretful that he had been heavy-handed when hitting yesterday, and didn't know if these two could act independently now. Fortunately, hearing Feng Er's breathing was stable, there shouldn't be any big problems.

Grilled steamed bun slices, red tofu, rice porridge, cold-mixed mushrooms.

It was considered a quite rich breakfast. They were eating here, while Boss Deng on that side kept licking his lips. From last night until now, not to mention eating, he hadn't even had a mouthful of water, thirsty and hungry, he couldn't stand it anymore.

But he didn't dare to shout loudly, fearing that if he opened his mouth, he would get another beating.

Li Long finished eating, started the tractor, and threw the two people onto the tractor bucket.

Boss Deng saw the blood completely washed clean in the tractor bucket and turned pale with fright.

"Felt it? This is human blood. Did two yesterday, you guys, seek your own blessings, who told you to hit the muzzle?" Li Long saw Boss Deng's expression and deliberately scared him. Boss Deng rolled his eyes and fainted!

"Coward!" Li Long didn't expect this guy to be so unable to be scared, fainted just like this? This self-protection mechanism was too strong, right?

Boring.

Li Long greeted Liu Shanmin and drove the tractor toward the east.

Liu Shanmin packed up the remaining things, then led the roe deer out to find a place with more grass to let it eat grass, and he himself started to take out the bedding to dry.

Feeling the injuries on his body were almost healed, was it time to leave this place?

Not long after, two people came over carrying two bags of fritillaria. They saw there was no tractor in the forest, but there were people, hesitated, but still came over.

It was Li Zheng Tang and Li Zhengting.

"Comrade, hello, where is Boss Li?" Li Zheng Tang asked Liu Shanmin with a smile, "We are selling fritillaria to him... you..."

He had been here once and knew this person had some relationship with Li Long, but didn't know exactly what relationship, but as long as it wasn't from the Forestry Team, it was fine.

"Boss Li went to handle matters, might be back by noon. You see, either leave the fritillaria here, you wait, or carry it back, or put it here and wait for Boss Li to come back, I'll tell him."

Li Zheng Tang and Li Zhengting looked at each other. After thinking, Li Zheng Tang said:

"I believe Boss Li, this fritillaria will be put here. We will come over again at noon. By the way, what is your surname?"

!.

"My surname is Liu." Liu Shanmin didn't expect these two to really put the fritillaria down. He originally thought they would definitely carry the fritillaria back. After all, these two bags of fritillaria looked heavy, at least thirty kilograms.

Nearly a hundred yuan!

Just put it here like this?

Fine, people believe, then put it here.

Li Zheng Tang looked at the fritillaria again, then nodded to Liu Shanmin and left with Li Zhengting. They still had bags and could still dig. If they dug well in the morning, they could dig two or three kilograms.

Liu Shanmin carried these two bags of fritillaria and put them into the shed, at least not so conspicuous.

He originally wanted to learn from Li Long to wash the fritillaria, but later thought forget it. How to deal with it was decided by Li Long, wait for Li Long to decide, then wash it wouldn't be too late. If it was fritillaria sent by people who didn't get along, Li Long had other ways to deal with it, and he washed it, that would be ruining the matter.

Being cautious was better.

Li Long drove the tractor all the way to the Forestry Team point. At this time, Bolati and the others had already ridden horses and left the Forestry Team to start patrolling the forest.

At the mountain pass, Li Long met Bolati and the four people. He stopped, and Bolati and the others also stopped.

"Li Long, are you going down the mountain?" Bolati came over to greet with a smile. Yesterday Li Long sent people over, and other Forestry Team people also knew him, but because they weren't familiar, they just smiled and didn't come up.

"I caught two who destroyed national property." Li Long pointed to Boss Deng and Feng Er in the tractor bucket and said to Bolati, "Preparing to send them to little Mu's side."

"Mustafa went to the county early this morning." Bolati replied first, then asked again:

"What did they do? Eh? Feel a bit familiar, have I met them?"

"It's two of the three people whose fritillaria you collected at a friend's house yesterday." Li Long said, "Angry, ran over in the middle of the night to burn my carrying poles. Think about it, if those carrying poles were burned, how would I explain to the supply and marketing cooperative! That's goods supplied by the supply and marketing cooperative to the entire Northern Xinjiang!"

Saying this, Bolati understood. These two people actually should hate him, but didn't dare to do anything to him, so they hated Li Long and found Li Long to burn the carrying poles to vent their anger.

"Fine, you hand the people to me, I'll handle it!" Bolati felt Li Long was very righteous, so he couldn't let Li Long have trouble, directly saying:

"I'll tie the two people up and send them to the Forestry Team. After little Mu comes back, I'll hand the people to him, and I'll also convey your words to him. Hmph, destroying national property, these two people must be locked up for at least five years!"

Li Long took the two people down. These two people couldn't walk anymore, so Bolati called another person, put one on the back of each horse, and just like that, carried the two people away.

Li Long believed Bolati would do what he said. These two people must be locked up for a while. There were so many people digging fritillaria in the mountains, and there shouldn't be many who had opinions about him. With these two batches of killing chickens to warn monkeys, he thought there wouldn't be many who would hit his idea again, right?

When Li Long drove the tractor back to the wooden cabin, Liu Shanmin came out and told about Li Zheng Tang and the others coming over just now.

"Two brothers? I know." Li Long smiled, "Not bad, quite sensible, I'll see... I'll weigh it for them, since people trust me, I can't let people be disappointed."

Li Long went over to weigh it, one bag seventeen kilograms, one bag fourteen kilograms, both were a bit short, Li Long made up a whole number.

These two bags of fritillaria were still quite clean, which was also the reason Li Long made up a whole number.

He didn't wash it first, still waiting for the two brothers to come over before saying.

"You stay here, I'm going to transport these carrying poles back to Little Bai Yang Gully." Li Long made a decision, "Someone came over, you handle it, I'll be back before noon."

Saying that, Li Long went to load the carrying poles into the tractor bucket. Liu Shanmin wanted to come over to help, Li Long waved his hand to let him rest. Anyway, he was a wounded person, better not move.

Loaded fifty or sixty carrying poles, looking a bit dangerous, Li Long took a rope to fix these carrying poles, looking high, it was really easy to flip.

Li Long thought after these carrying poles were loaded, should he install a frame for the tractor bucket? A double-layered wooden frame, rural areas often did this, and after installing the wooden frame, he could load more when pulling wheat bundles. Usually, the wooden frame could also be removed.

Hmm, after pulling the carrying poles there, he would do this thing.

At that time, cut wood first.

Li Long had enough time in the mountains to do these things slowly. Materials weren't lacking, time wasn't lacking, he had done this thing in his previous life, and the technology was naturally understood.

Confident.

When the sound of the tractor rang at the mouth of Little Bai Yang Gully, Li Jianguo and the others were a bit puzzled.

Why come at this time?

But when looking at Li Long pulling a cart of carrying poles over, they understood.

Li Jianguo and Xie Yun Dong put down their work for the first time and ran over. After Li Long stopped the tractor steadily, they came over to help unload the carrying poles.

Others also came over one after another. Dozens of carrying poles, a few for each person, and they were unloaded, not costing much effort.

"Someone intended to burn my carrying poles yesterday, so I pulled them over." Li Long took the initiative to explain to his older brother Li Jianguo.

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

"Beat them up, handed them to Bolati, that person from the Forestry Team. He said they would be locked up for at least five years."

"Hmm, fine." Li Jianguo heard they would be locked up for five years, then it was fine.

Li Long didn't mention the matter of being robbed and killed last night, but Li Jianguo asked:

"You fired a gun when you went back yesterday? What? Met wolves?"

"Hmm, just met wolves." Li Long said, "Nothing big. Now wolves are also very cunning, scared away as soon as they hear the gunshot."

After unloading the carrying poles, Li Long didn't delay here either, rushing back. There were still several piles of carrying poles there, better to unload them all today.

So this day, the sound of Li Long's tractor kept ringing through this section of the northern slope of Tianshan. Those who dug fritillaria in the mountains also heard it, but no one paid attention. They were all lowering their heads and bending their waists to dig fritillaria, wanting to dig out as much as possible before they bloomed, and then sell them for money.

One year, maybe just this season, if this season is dug well, one can earn a year's money.

Lunch was made by Liu Shanmin. He couldn't steam rice, but heating steamed buns was no problem. Cut some cooked meat, mix some mushrooms, and burn some mushroom soup. After Li Long pulled two trips, he stopped to eat, expressing satisfaction with these things.

Then Li Zheng Tang and Li Zhengting came over. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 484 =====
