Chapter 813

Li Long came over and praised Dong Dahai, promising to share more meat with him later, and then taught Nie Chengwei a lesson, added some weight to his neck, and warned him not to play small tricks again, otherwise he would let him carry heavier things later.

Nie Chengwei really didn't dare to have any small thoughts this time.

For Li Long's swift and decisive actions, Ma Xiao Yan still had quite a lot of feelings. She even planned to write this episode into the manuscript to make this manuscript more substantial and content-rich.

After resting for ten minutes at Talihar's winter pasture, Li Long shouted for these people to continue moving forward.

When they arrived at Yushanjiang's winter pasture, the driver Hou Zhengyi had already boiled the meat almost ready. He was also taken aback when he saw so many people coming over.

Li Xiangqian was also tired, came over to find a place to sit down, wiped his sweat, and asked Li Long:

"You are taking the people over now?"

"Yeah," Li Long said, "I'll come back after sending them off. By then, Meng Hai and the others should have returned, and we'll go back."

Saying that, Li Long took the 56-type semi-automatic rifle from the jeep and handed it to Li Xiangqian:

"Director, you take this gun, it's still not very safe in these mountains." Li Long said, "We'll rush back as soon as possible."

Saying that, he said to Hou Zhengyi again: "Master Hou, you haven't eaten yet, right? Hurry up and eat something, and we'll go send the people off after eating."

Looking at the meat still in the pot, Nie Chengwei was so greedy. They were also cooking in the winter pasture over there, but what they ate were ordinary dead-flour cakes, pickles, and wild vegetables.

They also wanted to eat meat, but they didn't have handy tools and couldn't bag wild animals, so they could only think about it.

They also got news that they could trade for meat at the wooden cabin. Nie Chengwei actually thought about whether to take this group of people over to do a job, snatch the things over there, but this was just a thought, and then it was pinched off by Li Long.

Looking at people eating meat, they could only watch.

As a detainee, wanting the same treatment was impossible. All of this was doomed from the moment he rejected Li Xiangqian's proposal and opened his mouth like a lion.

He also didn't expect that his nephew, who could usually fight two people, would be so unable to fight this time?

He had been in the mountains for half a month and was too smooth. Using his nephew's martial force and his own three-inch tongue, he gathered these people around him. These people almost obeyed him, which gave him an illusion, feeling that he could be a mountain king.

Just an illusion.

Li Long's shovel made him return to reality—it turned out that what he had gathered was just a mob.

Li Long and Master Hou finished eating in a hurry, then threw these people onto the truck one by one, threw those things up too, and Li Long got on the truck carrying a stick, intending to supervise them personally.

"How to go?" Hou Zhengyi got on the car and asked.

"Go out of the mountains first. After going out of the mountains, there is a fork in the road to the east. From there, you can go to the Forestry Team's Nanshan garrison point." Li Long had been there before and knew the way.

"Good." Hou Zhengyi started the car, poked his head out to greet Li Xiangqian, and drove out of the mountains.

Nie Chengwei knew that if he really sent them to the Forestry Team, it would be over. He still tried to persuade Li Long:

"This comrade, look, the fritillaria loaded in this car is worth several thousand yuan. You let us go, pretend that we were knocked down by us, we leave, and these fritillaria are all yours... You and the driver share them, one person can share quite a lot! If all of this is handed over, you'll get a certificate of merit at most, it's not worth it!"

"That's right, that's right!" Others also didn't want to be caught, and each of them echoed: "Don't worry, let us go, we definitely won't cause you any trouble..."

"You've already caused me trouble." Li Long sneered, "You regret it now, what about at the beginning? My leader discussed it with you nicely, what about you? Is that the way to discuss?"

Nie Chengwei was speechless. Wasn't it because he felt Li Xiangqian and the others were soft and easy to bully?

Someone slowly moved toward Li Long, and Li Long knocked him with a stick:

"Don't move around! If you move again, I'll break your leg!"

That person immediately didn't dare to move.

The car drove out of the mountains. After walking a distance to the north, there was a fork to the east, which was the famous S101 National Defense Highway, built in the 1960s, with a gravel road surface, which was quite easy to walk compared to mountain roads.

It was quite easy to go to the Forestry Team's Nanshan garrison point from here, but Li Long had always been vigilant. There were more than ten people in the car; if any one of them watched and bumped into him, and the others rioted together, he definitely couldn't take it.

So now it was preventing trouble before it happened, and warning them when they moved slightly.

Fortunately, these people had different thoughts after being caught and couldn't unite. Several of them were knocked down by Li Long with a stick as soon as they made a move, and then they became honest.

"You! It's you, the one in the corner of the car... be honest, don't take things!"

Li Long suddenly pointed at a person who was slowly moving toward the pile of things with a stick and shouted. That person's body stiffened, turned his head and smiled at Li Long:

"Comrade, I didn't do anything..."

"Raise your hands!" The more Li Long looked, the more suspicious he became. He felt that this person must have a problem. His eyes were flickering and he didn't dare to look at him directly. He asked him to raise his hands, but he delayed raising them.

"Everyone else be honest!" Li Long shouted again. This shout also stunned the others. Isn't he teaching this guy a lesson?

This person was also stunned for a moment. Just when he was stunned, Li Long knocked him on the back with a "bang" stick. This person was knocked down onto the truck board with one stick, and his hands were exposed. Li Long took a look, and the rope had been worn off at some point!

"Bang!" Li Long gave the other party another stick before the other party reacted. The other party also reacted very quickly, shrinking his body. The stick that was originally knocked on the back was knocked on the leg.

It was just that he didn't expect Li Long to be strong and heavy. This stick hit his leg, making him shrink his leg in pain, and the next action he had already planned was directly invalidated.

Li Long saw it; this guy reacted extremely quickly, maybe he had practiced it. He didn't give the other party a chance. When he knocked him on the back with another stick, his body also stepped forward, stepping on him!

"Everyone together!" This person was stepped on by Li Long and couldn't exert force, shouting loudly:

"Being sent to the Forestry Team, we'll all be locked up and interrogated! Things done before will all have to be confessed... repatriation... we can't be repatriated!"

He shouted this, naturally wanting to mess up the situation and then escape in the chaos.

Some people did start to move restlessly, but Li Long didn't give them a chance at all. Those who had slightly restless movements were immediately knocked down to the ground by Li Long with one stick after another:

"Who moves? I'll hit whoever moves! I tell you, if I beat you to death now, you'll die in vain! If I send you to the Forestry Team, you'll be locked up for a few days at most, and then you'll be free. If you resist now and let me beat you to death or disability, that's in vain!"

Who doesn't know the strategy of attacking the heart?

Li Long's foot stepped firmly on this person. This guy's strength was slightly greater than ordinary people, but he couldn't imagine that Li Long's strength was much greater than ordinary people, and he had knocked his leg, so he couldn't struggle even if he wanted to now.

Watching others become honest, Li Long gave the person under his feet two more sticks. Seeing him start to beg for mercy, only then did he tie the rope again.

He searched this person and found quite a few odds and ends: razor blades, thick needles, iron wires, etc. It looked like he wasn't a good person.

This time, he not only tied this person's hands but also tied his feet, and pulled a piece of cloth from someone's bedding to stuff his mouth.

After stuffing it, Li Long said to the others:

"You all are also lucky. This guy is definitely a fugitive, maybe he has killed people! Look at the odds and ends on his body, then look at his tone just now. You all have only been with him for a short time. If you have conflicts after a long time, you should be careful about your heads!"

Li Long was also half-scaring and half-warning. He was sure that this person under his feet must have a problem. As for the size of the case, he didn't know, but this guy was definitely ruthless enough.

Those people were all scared. Thinking about this person's reaction just now, then thinking about this person's reaction when he was usually in the winter pasture, this was completely different.

This person hid deep enough!

Next, until the Forestry Team's garrison point, no one made trouble again, and even Nie Chengwei fell silent.

Actually, he was the most panicked. When that person came to the winter pasture just now, he relied on Guo Dali as a thug, and he collected several dozen yuan from the other party, and also collected the several kilograms of fritillaria the other party dug that day, saying it was the entry fee.

Now thinking about it, he was really running on the death line!

Li Long had been to the Forestry Team's garrison point once, when he came by tractor. Coming over this time, he found that there was no big change here.

Hou Zhengyi drove over according to Li Long's instructions—when there was a village, Li Long knocked on the middle of the roof of the cab, which meant going straight; when there was a fork in the road, knocking on the left meant turning left, and knocking on the right meant turning right. This journey was quite smooth.

Li Long guided Hou Zhengyi to the garrison point. When he let the car stop, people had already surrounded it.

Someone recognized Li Long. Li Long only felt that the person who came was familiar, so he took the initiative to ask:

"Is Bolati there?"

"Not back yet... you are that extra-budgetary forest ranger... Li Long, right? Is this sending things to us, Adashi?" a young man asked enthusiastically.

"We found a group of people stealing fritillaria in the forest and tied them up. One of them seems to be a fugitive. I'm sending them over for you to take a look."

"What?" The young man then discovered that there was a group of people sitting in the truck box, and he immediately went to call someone.

Soon, more than ten people surrounded it, dragged these people tied with ropes down one by one, and then pulled them into a room for interrogation.

"Those fritillaria and bedding are with them." Li Long pointed to the things on the car and said: "Unload them, my business here is finished, and I have to go back."

"That won't work, you have to wait." The young man said, "We can't make the decision on this matter, we have to wait for our leader to come over."

The last one to come over was a team leader—the captain and deputy captain weren't there.

The team leader was named Aili, about thirty years old, a very capable Uyghur. After he came over and shook hands with Li Long, he said sincerely:

"Comrade Li Long, thank you for your contribution to the forest protection cause. Let me tell you this, Bolati and I are good friends, and I know you. These fritillaria and other things on the car, you just take them away, how about that?"

"Take them away?"

"Yeah, anyway, we'll handle these things finally. You take them away and see how much money they are worth..."

Li Long was a bit surprised. He pointed to the things on it and said:

"There's bedding on it, and their bags... this bedding has to be left for them, right?"

"Yeah, leave a bedding for each person, and the rest can't be brought." Aili said, "The rest are all handed over to you to handle..."

Li Long thought for a moment and said:

"My jeep is in the mountains, and I only brought two thousand yuan..."

"Fine, two thousand is enough." Aili said, "Enough. You take the things away, and I'll call someone to go with you to get the money."

"Fine." Li Long said, "Then unload the bedding."

This matter sounded surprising, but it was actually within expectations.

The confiscated fritillaria still had to be cashed out, and the Forestry Team had no use for them. However, now that the state-run procurement station had been withdrawn, the Forestry Team had no way to cash out, and Li Long just happened to fill this gap.

Soon, the young man Li Long met at the beginning came over and said:

"Comrade Li Long, I'll go with you into the mountains to get the money."

"Then how will you come back?" Li Long asked suspiciously, "It's about to get dark."

"My horse will get on the car together." The young man pointed to the truck and said, "Horses can get on the car."

"Fine." Li Long nodded, "Bring the gun, it's not safe in the mountains."

"I know." The young man smiled, then went to lead the horse and take the gun.

Someone carried two boards over. Li Long and Hou Zhengyi opened the truck's rear carriage board. They put the boards together, very wide, like a door, and then the young man pulled in front, and the horse followed behind and got on the truck.

This time Li Long sat back in the cab. Hou Zhengyi also asked him why those fritillaria weren't taken away, and Li Long said he bought them.

Hou Zhengyi didn't know that Li Long had opened a procurement station, and was a bit surprised to hear this.

However, he didn't care about things he shouldn't care about. After all, Li Long was considered a favorite in the eyes of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative leaders, and Hou Zhengyi also received a goat leg yesterday. He felt that this young man Li Long was very good at handling things, so he didn't say or think much.

When the truck drove to Yushanjiang's winter pasture, the sun had almost set, and Meng Hai and the others had already returned from Bieke's winter pasture.

Seeing the truck come over, also bringing a national comrade, Li Xiangqian and the others were all a bit surprised.

After getting off the car, Li Long reported the situation to Li Xiangqian and briefly mentioned that he had bought these fritillaria himself.

"That's your own private matter, so don't mention it. Anyway, handing these people over to the Forestry Team, at least they won't destroy this winter pasture, that's enough." Li Xiangqian didn't care about that much, "You finish the things that should be done, and we'll go back."

Li Long and the young man used the wooden boards to let the horse down again. He took the money from the jeep and handed it to the young man. The young man counted the money clearly, wrapped it in a bag and put it in his bosom, then waved at Li Long, carried the gun and got on the horse, and ran down the mountain in small steps.

"There are still a few pieces of meat in the pot, Little Li, you and Master Hou eat some more, then tidy up, and we'll go back." Li Xiangqian said.

Li Long and Master Hou each scooped up a piece of meat and ate it. Li Long said while eating:

"The meat in the basin over there, everyone take a piece. There isn't much this time, about three kilograms, enough for one or two meals. The rest, understand."

Everyone had long seen the meat in the basin. Although it wasn't as much as yesterday, it was better than nothing. Now hearing Li Long say this, they stepped forward one after another. Meng Hai picked the largest piece and gave it to Li Xiangqian.

"I don't want it." Li Xiangqian waved his hand, "There's still some left at home."

"Director, you take it. If you don't take this meat, others won't feel good taking it." Li Long said with a smile while eating.

"Fine, fine, fine, I'll take it. You have many crooked reasons."

After sharing the meat, Meng Hai and the others washed the pots, cleaned up here, and loaded the things onto the car.

Li Long settled the accounts, Meng Hai and the others received the money happily, all with smiles on their faces.

After sending Meng Hai and the others off, returning to the county, sending Li Xiangqian and Ma Xiao Yan home, and finally going to the large courtyard with Hou Zhengyi—mainly because the things on the car had to be unloaded.

Fortunately, there weren't many things. Hou Zhengyi, who had received the meat, Li Long, and Gu Bo Yuan, who had returned from the procurement station, unloaded the seven or eight bags of fritillaria and some sundries very quickly. Hou Zhengyi drove the car back in a hurry.

Gu Bo Yuan and Gu Xiaoxia meant to let Li Long eat first, but Li Long said he had already eaten, so he went directly to classify and clean those fritillaria and sundries.

As a result, Li Long also discovered quite a few things that opened his eyes in the pile of sundries.

Unsurprisingly, there were some antiques, silver wine cups, silver dollars, etc., and some scattered money hidden in the bundle cloth, not much, totaling more than ten yuan, which was about the reason these people didn't take the money away.

There were also some photos, letters, and handwritten novels. Li Long took a look at this stuff, threw it to the side with disdain, and planned to burn it in the kitchen later.

Too trivial.

These fritillaria bought had both dried and wet, mixed half and half. There were more than twenty kilograms of fresh fritillaria, and then some were dried but not dried through, and there were more than ten kilograms of dried ones.

Li Long separated these fritillaria and dried them in the side room. He had no time today, and planned to come back tomorrow to do it—mainly because these fritillaria were basically unwashed, not clean.

By Li Long's strict quality standards, these fritillaria were definitely unqualified.

Not only these fritillaria, but most of the fritillaria brought back from the procurement station were like this.

So Li Long planned to take time to wash these fritillaria. The dried ones were also the same—only the surface was washed, so they were easy to dry after washing, while the fresh ones needed to be spread out and dried well, otherwise they would easily mold.

After finishing these, Gu Bo Yuan came over after eating and talked about Yang Guifang.

Li Long laughed angrily. Is this trying to harm himself after harming others?

However, how did she get out? After doing such vicious things, could she still escape the sanctions of the law?

It is estimated that more than one layer of skin was peeled off, right? (End of chapter)
