Chapter 62

Li Long and Halimu moved everything into the room in two trips.

Almost couldn't pile it up.

"Halimu, there are some things here you can share with Yushanjiang. This was bought with the money from selling those two pieces of jade, of course, a part of the money." Li Long explained.

Looking at so many things, Halimu's family was stunned.

Halimu relayed the words to his family, and they were even more shocked. They didn't expect that the stones picked up in the river ditch could be exchanged for so many things!

Li Long received a warm reception—he hadn't had time to give fruit candy to the two children, and Nasen and his brothers had already pushed all the knuckle bones toward him.

Apparently, they were expressing their gratitude in their own way.

Li Long said with a smile:

"No need, no need, by the way, please eat some candy."

A large handful of fruit candy was piled on the wooden heated brick bed. Nasen looked at Halimu, and seeing Halimu nod, he smiled and picked up a piece of candy, but after peeling the candy paper, he turned and stuffed it into the old grandmother's mouth.

The old grandmother laughed from ear to ear.

Halimu's wife looked excitedly at the rice and flour, which wouldn't be finished even until the snow melted and they transferred!

And those tea leaves and salt were enough for them to use for several years!

Really didn't expect that stone could be exchanged for so many things!

Halimu was also very excited. At this time, the old grandmother suddenly said something to Halimu. Halimu was silent for a moment, climbed onto the wooden heated brick bed, and dragged a wooden box from behind the folded blankets at the very inside.

He opened the box on the wooden heated brick bed and took out something wrapped in cloth from inside.

This thing was more than a foot long, like a stick, but it had thick and thin parts, and it was hard to tell what it was.

Halimu handed the thing to his mother, and the old lady turned and handed it to Li Long.

Li Long was a bit dazed.

Halimu said:

"My mother said, this is for you, thank you."

Li Long opened the cloth package curiously.

Furry, weighing more than a kilogram, and with branches—this thing is deer antler!

Dried red deer antler!

Li Long hurriedly handed it back, waved his hand and said:

"Can't take it, can't take it, this one can sell for quite a bit of money?"

Li Long had asked Chen Hongjun, the price of deer antler is not high now, more than ten yuan per hundred grams of dried product, this one is already one or two hundred yuan.

The money for a bicycle!

"Sent to you," Halimu stuffed the deer antler back into Li Long's hand, "You brought us so many things..."

"But those things were bought with the money from selling jade..."

"If it weren't for you, the jade wouldn't sell for money. This deer antler was originally two, last year our family lacked food, took one to exchange for food at the foot of the mountain, only exchanged for a small bag—"

Halimu gestured, and Li Long saw that what they exchanged was less than half of the rice he brought.

But this deer antler sells for more than one hundred yuan at the acquisition station. Even if the other party earns half, it's seventy or eighty, buying more rice than what he brought, right?

He plans to bring more rice and flour next time. Because Yushanjiang's piece of jade also exchanged for quite a bit of money.

Even after deducting what he earned, he could still send them a lot of food.

Li Long finally accepted the deer antler, and there were two more pieces of jade. However, the quality of these two pieces wasn't that good, even Halimu could see it.

One piece was an irregular seed material the size of a palm, weighing three or four kilograms, with gray-black stone skin, and the jade quality had some light-colored spots.

The other piece was larger, like a large green mango, weighing five or six kilograms, the jade quality looked quite good, but there were also many sesame spots inside. This is a typical feature of Mahe jasper.

Halimu said:

"These two pieces were also picked up by us, not as good-looking as the previous one, you take them back to play."

Alright, just these two pieces of jade, although not as good as the previous one, at least they could sell for several thousand yuan in later generations, and they just casually said "play."

Li Long didn't be polite either and accepted them, and took out dozens of bullets and handed them to Halimu:

"These bullets are for you, and there are some for Brother Yushanjiang. I exchanged for some bullets after taking those two wild boars back this time."

Seeing so many bullets, Halimu was excited again. He put away the bullets and said excitedly:

"These two days, that injured wild wolf came to take revenge! Howling nearby every day, we can't sleep well! I'll shoot them tonight!"

Li Long said:

"Then shall we go borrow guns again? I'll also learn to hunt wolves with you tonight."

"Alright!"

！.

After lunch, Halimu took Li Long together, carrying two small bags of rice and flour and some tea, salt, and sugar, and went to Yushanjiang's place.

Yushanjiang's winter shelter had one more middle-aged woman than the last time Li Long saw it.

Li Long guessed it should be Yushanjiang's wife; she should have been busy with something outside last time.

Seeing Halimu and Li Long bring so many things, Yushanjiang, who was a bit wooden, showed a surprised expression.

When he knew this was exchanged by Li Long with that piece of jade, Yushanjiang smiled.

And when Li Long took out dozens of bullets and handed them to him, Yushanjiang's face showed an excited expression!

He didn't hesitate to lend the gun to Li Long, and at the same time took out a piece of jade that was even larger than the last time.

The quality of this piece was about the same as the last time. The jade was strip-shaped, with no impurities or spots in the middle, and had a large piece of blue-gray stone skin.

Li Long weighed it, this piece of jade was about twenty kilograms, the selling price absolutely wouldn't be cheap!

He told Yushanjiang:

"Brother Yushanjiang, I'll bring you some more food next time I come. By the way, what else do you need?"

"Sickles, bring a few more sickles, also need a hoe, two axes, rope, sturdy rope..."

Yushanjiang wasn't polite and said several things. Li Long wrote them down one by one.

Halimu and Yushanjiang said a few more words, and he said to Li Long:

"On the other side of the two mountains from here, there is also a group of wild boars. If you have time, you can come and hunt them. In addition, Yushanjiang said there are red deer nearby. If he hunts them, he will leave them for you."

Li Long nodded. Deer are treasures all over, if there really are any, he wouldn't be polite either.

After resting at Yushanjiang's place for more than an hour and drinking milk tea, the two said goodbye and left. On the way back, Li Long encountered a few wind-fallen trees. The two worked together to drag the two trees out of the snow, tied them with rope, and returned to Halimu's winter shelter with the horse pulling them.

Li Long also planned to pull some wood back tomorrow.

There were no lights at night, and Halimu's family went to sleep early, but Li Long and Halimu were already lying in ambush in the snow near Halimu's sheep pen.

With the experience from last time, this time Li Long wrapped his leather coat tightly, moving his fingers from time to time, just waiting for the wolf pack to appear.

He was a bit nervous, and a bit excited—had seen many videos in later generations, knowing that wolves are very cunning and will encircle and fight. Don't know what the wolves he encounters will be like?

At midnight, a wolf howl came from the mountain forest in the distance.

They, are here!
