Chapter 818: The resources in the mountains are truly good, and the danger is truly dangerous

~18 min read 3,590 words

Seeing that black thing, Li Long didn't think about the snow lotus on the mountain wall anymore, didn't want the mushroom bag, and carried his gun to chase after it.

That thing was a small brown bear.

It wasn't big, not much bigger than the little black one raised at home. It should be a bear cub of the year. At this moment, it was lying in front of that pile of offal, gnawing slowly.

Li Long ran within twenty or thirty meters and could see that the possibility of this thing playing was greater than the possibility of gnawing.

It was a bear cub, so Li Long didn't intend to fire. This thing wasn't big, but the mother bear was likely nearby, which was very dangerous.

Sure enough, just when he realized this, a bear roar came from the pine forest, and a brown, fat mother brown bear, about as tall as Li Long, drilled out of the forest, roared at the little brown bear, and looked at Li Long again.

The little brown bear stumbled and ran toward the mother brown bear, came behind the mother brown bear, and only after confirming safety did it look at the source of the danger warned by its mother, Li Long.

Li Long raised his gun, and the mother brown bear immediately felt the threat. It roared angrily at Li Long, and Li Long immediately became vigilant.

The brown bear he encountered at the hot spring last time was closer than this distance, and its movements were very fast. This thing was full of lethality, and Li Long didn't dare to be careless.

However, he was just holding the gun and thinking about the next move, when the mother brown bear had already turned around and pushed the little brown bear into the forest, and drilled in itself.

Li Long was stunned for a moment, it just ran away?

He held the gun and hurried toward the forest—not wanting to hunt, this thing's IQ didn't seem to be bad, Li Long wanted to see if they were hiding or had run away.

Arriving at a place twenty meters away from the forest, Li Long slowed down. The safety of the gun had already been opened, and the bullet had been pushed into the chamber. At this time, if the brown bear came out, Li Long would definitely have to fire.

But the forest was quiet, and there was no movement at all.

Li Long exerted his extraordinary hearing. Except for the rustling of pine needles blown by the wind in the forest, there was no other movement.

That pair of mother (daughter) brown bears had already run away.

Li Long was a bit disappointed, and a bit lucky. If you don't hunt, don't hunt. This thing, to hunt or not to hunt, is a problem.

He turned his head to look at the pile of red deer and wolf offal. At this moment, it was covered with green-headed flies, and not much of the eaten part was left, it was just messed up.

Perhaps the Mountain God likes to let these little guys eat them.

Li Long didn't care about this thing anymore. The bear had already run away. He turned back, carried the mushroom bag back, and arrived at the mountain wall.

This mountain wall is located in a prominent position on the grassland. It extends from a mountain in the southeast, and it is like being cut by a knife here, breaking directly.

The mountain wall has stood for a long time, and the surface is not very smooth, growing some shrubs and weeds. The plants that might be snow lotus seen earlier are at the highest position.

It doesn't look as steep as below, but it is slanted, as if it had been cut by a knife again. The slope suddenly becomes gentler, and there are quite a few gravels and broken stones on it.

Snow lotus is a creature that grows in harsh environments, so it is not strange that it can survive here.

This mountain wall cannot be climbed. Li Long walked inward along the mountain wall and walked to the junction of the pine forest and the mountain wall. The mountain wall became gentler here. Some small pine trees and cypresses grew upward along the gentle slope, and further up were stretches of shrubs.

Li Long felt that he could climb up this area. The mushrooms had already been put into the backpack. Li Long carried his gun and climbed up through the gaps in the trees.

The mountain wall wasn't particularly high, but it was hard to find a foothold. Climbing up thirty or forty meters, the shrubs slowly disappeared, and there was moss between the mountain stones, and the plants became scarce.

Climbing up again, Li Long even saw snow lotus that hadn't bloomed—it really was here!

At first, it was one or two, and then moving forward, there were quite a few snow lotus plants on the stone crevices and the edge of the moss, but they were all without flowers. The small ones were ten centimeters, and they had only grown for a short time, and the large ones were fifteen to twenty centimeters. Not to mention flowers, even flower buds hadn't grown.

However, Li Long was also quite happy to find this place where snow lotus grows.

Climbing up again, there was a piece of gravel on it. There was no moss in this area, and snow lotus couldn't grow. There were red things like rust on the stones. I don't know if it was the corpse of moss.

Unknowingly, Li Long climbed to the top of the mountain. This mountain top was really like a knife edge, and the foothold was very narrow, the narrowest part was only about half a meter. The slope on the other side of the mountain was much gentler than this side, and it was also a gravel substrate, growing some moss, and further down there was a piece of creeping pine.

Li Long walked along the mountain ridge to the place where he had discovered snow lotus earlier. Only when he reached the front did he discover that the yellow blooming position was not snow lotus, but unknown wild flowers. This wild flower bloomed very large, but the smell was very strong, attracting quite a few flies and insects.

Li Long looked at this flower carefully, but it wasn't in his memory, so he stopped caring about it. It didn't look like it was very precious, so he turned and went down the mountain.

Walking along the way back to the place where the snow lotus grew, Li Long slowed down and counted carefully.

There were thirty-seven snow lotus in this area, which was not few. Some roots grew two branches, and they could bloom two flowers when they bloomed in July or August.

The current logo of White Snow Lotus cigarettes is two snow lotus growing together, one big and one small. The person who designed this logo at that time should have really seen snow lotus growing like this.

Li Long thought that when he helped Halimu and the others cut grass in July or August, he would see if he could find time to come over and pick the snow lotus here directly—he hadn't picked snow lotus with his own hands yet, not in either of his two lives.

Down the mountain, continue to pick mushrooms.

Taking the mountain ridge line that Li Long had just climbed as the boundary, further south, the undulation of the grassland became larger, and there were more mountain gullies and mountain slopes, and there were more mushrooms in the mountain gullies.

When the sun fell to the middle of the mountain, Li Long discovered a place that had been arched by wild boars. This place was located in a mountain gully, and there were a lot of weeds growing, all kinds of them. Wild boars liked the roots of a certain plant very much, so this area was arched in a mess.

Looking at the arched traces, they were very fresh, so Li Long thought that these wild boars probably came here to find food this morning. It's a pity that he came late, otherwise, he might have been able to hunt a few wild boars.

This area was already far away from the North Mountain. After Ye Erjiang and the others left, there were almost no traces of human activity in this area, so there would be more wild animals.

These wild animals don't always live in the same place. For example, this group of wild boars will find food here before dawn, and after eating, they will run to their traditional resting place to rest. That place is usually in the forest, the terrain is not so open, and it is easy to run when encountering danger.

The terrain is too open, and there is no place to hide when running, so it is not easy to run.

Li Long just observed this area and then carried the mushroom bag and continued to move forward.

Half an hour later, the mushroom bag was full, and Li Long walked back.

Returning to Ye Erjiang's winter camp, Li Long saw that Meng Hai and the others had already re-covered the roof of the winter camp. At this moment, the workers were divided into two groups, one group was cleaning and repairing inside the winter camp, and one group was outside.

Seeing Li Long returning fully loaded with a bag of mushrooms, these people were all very happy.

"You guys keep working, I'll go out first. You can take this meat back when you return. I'll take my and Master Hou's meat back. I have something to do when I go out."

"Alright, alright, alright, you go about your business, don't worry about us, leave it to us, Comrade Li Long, you can rest assured!"

These people agreed fully. Li Long distributed meat to them, and this time he brought mushrooms again. According to their thoughts, what Li Long should do had already been exceeded, so naturally, he could do whatever he wanted.

Li Long didn't leave immediately, but pointed out the location of the next winter camp to Meng Hai and the others. The winter camp of Mula Ti's family was still not far from here—this alpine meadow was one of the few here, and the winter camps were not far from each other, so there were winter camps in every piece of grassland.

Li Long took the mushrooms and meat for Hou Zhengyi, packed his own meat, rolled up the three skins and tied them with a rope on his back, and then walked down the mountain.

The harvest was not small.

Hou Zhengyi was waiting here at Yushanjiang's winter camp. He picked quite a few mushrooms and pulled some wild green onions and wild garlic. At noon, Meng Hai called someone to send the boiled meat down, which he ate with naan. At this time, seeing Li Long coming, Hou Zhengyi greeted him very happily.

"Master Hou, this is the meat distributed to you, and the mushrooms. You put them away, I have something to go out for now."

"Alright, alright, alright, you go about your business, thank you, Comrade Li, you are really amazing, there is quite a lot of meat this time—is this two kinds of meat?"

Master Hou could also see that there was a difference between red deer meat and wolf meat.

"Hmm, red deer meat and wolf meat." Li Long said.

He still had to take the red deer antlers back to process, and the skins also had to be taken back to dry.

He put the things into the jeep and drove to the wooden house.

At this time, the inspection work of the carrying poles in White Poplar Gully had been completed. Master Lv and the others ran two trips and finished transporting the carrying poles, so this work was finished today.

When Li Long arrived at the wooden house, he unexpectedly saw Bolati.

"Adashi, how are you!" After Li Long got out of the car, he shook hands with Bolati and greeted him cordially, "What a coincidence, we met."

"It's not a coincidence, I've been waiting for you here." Bolati complained, "Why did you just come over? I've been waiting for you for two days."

"Ah?" Li Long was a bit surprised, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"No, it's not that you sent some people who stole herbs to our side," Bolati said to Li Long, "We have tried those people. Among those people, there are two fugitives, one of whom robbed and killed, which is the one you tied up, a serious criminal.

The side in the mouth is wanted, we called that side, and the people on that side couldn't believe it, saying that they would send someone specifically to take the person back."

"Not bad, not bad, it seems that we have also eliminated harm for the people." This was within Li Long's expectation; he had always felt that the guy with kung fu wasn't a good person.

"There is also one who intentionally injured someone, broke someone's leg, and is on the run. Now, we have combined with the public security to handle this matter. Above, that is, the autonomous region side has commended it, so our side means to thank your cooperative."

"Alright." Li Long thought that the director would have to show off again this time. A brother unit wants to thank, not to send a thank-you letter, a thank-you letter, or to give a banner, or to commend through superiors.

No matter which one it is, it's a good thing for Li Xiangqian. Li Xiangqian had just taken office and needed achievements in this area to consolidate his prestige. Wouldn't this come all at once?

"Just this matter? That doesn't need to be said in person, right?" Li Long thought, "Is there anything else?"

"Of course there is, a good thing." Bolati said with a smile—"Let me tell you, didn't I tell you before that we used to sell some fritillaria, herbs, and these things that we confiscated to the state-run purchasing station. Now, isn't this state-run purchasing station gone? We gave the leader the meaning to sell it directly to you."

"We have more than one leader in the forestry team, as you know. Some leaders agree, some don't. Last time, the things of those people you sent, didn't you take them away directly?

In fact, this time, the leaders' opinions were unified at once. Those confiscated things, as long as you need them, are all sold to your purchasing station."

"The leaders also said that you are a part-time forest ranger, and a part-time one is also a forest ranger. Since you are a forest ranger, you are one of our own. Moreover, you handled such a big thing this time, which made us show our faces in front of the leaders of the autonomous region. If we care about these things again, it would really seem stingy."

"So, our leader's meaning is, we still have some inventory there at the moment. When you are free, get a truck and go over to haul it, and then we will do it like this in the future. Every ten days or half a month, you go to our time to haul a trip. As for the price, according to the market price you gave, what do you think?"

"How is it? Of course it's good!" Li Long was surprised this time. Last time, that team leader made the decision and let him haul away the more than two hundred kilograms of fritillaria and other things. Later, Bolati said that the forestry team didn't have a next family, and the things collected by these forest rangers would definitely be sold to him, and the confiscated ones by the forestry team would probably be too.

But they were all said privately, without the leader's decision, Li Long wasn't completely sure.

Now Bolati specifically waited for himself here to say this, so this matter was basically nailed down.

Could Li Long not be surprised? Let's put it this way, he collected fritillaria in such a small wooden house here, and he collected one ton at most in a year.

The purchasing station in the county could probably collect over one ton, but it's hard to say whether it could reach two tons.

But if the forestry team is involved, it will double, and it will be no problem to collect two more tons.

It was calculated like this before, and there was such a beautiful idea. Now it seems that it has been implemented.

"Great!" Li Long patted Bolati on the shoulder hard and said with a smile, "Adashi, you really brought me good news this time. Come, come, come, take a bottle of wine, drink slowly. By the way, how much inventory do you have now? When is it better for me to go over?"

"Of course the sooner the better. We have both dry and wet fritillaria collected. Every year, a batch grows hair and spoils. If you haul it away early and clean it up, it won't spoil."

Li Long looked at the road and said: "Forget it today, there is not enough time. Tomorrow, I will go over to haul it. Are the things at your forestry team's station?"

"Hmm, that's it. When you go over, don't bring all the money. There are more than three hundred kilograms of fritillaria in this batch, both wet and dry, and there are some deer antlers, skins, and such. You, get some food, wine, and bring some money. The specific quantity, our station's team leader has the final say, you are very smart, understand?"

"Understand, understand." Li Long smiled. Bolati was really a friend. He simply went to take canned food, wine, chicken cakes, and other things and packed a bag for Bolati, "Take it back to eat."

"Alright, alright, the matter is clear, I'm leaving too." Bolati said while carrying the things, "By the way, the team's is the team's, ours is ours. We will still come over to trade things."

"Alright, alright, alright, it's the same as before." Li Long waved to Bolati who had already mounted the horse, "Don't worry, walk slowly."

Bolati shook the horse whip, and the horse left at a trot.

Sun Jia Qiang didn't speak from beginning to end, washing fritillaria on the side, listening to the conversation between the two.

He was extremely impressed.

His own boss had inadvertently taken on a big job. The fritillaria confiscated by the forestry team every day was much more than what he traded here.

Li Long could take this big order, and the daily income, for a person like him, was an astronomical figure.

Worthy of being his own boss, amazing.

"Little Sun, are you short of things here?" Li Long didn't bring anything when he came out today, but just asked Sun Jia Qiang.

"Half of the material exchange has been traded," Sun Jia Qiang said, "Boss, it's best if you can replenish some in the next day or two. By the way, there is not much meat left, and quite a few people come to trade meat."

"I got some red deer meat and wolf meat again today, so I'll leave it for you." Li Long was not stingy in this regard. He hadn't mentioned wages to Sun Jia Qiang yet. Although Sun Jia Qiang only wanted a household registration and said he didn't want wages, Li Long couldn't not give it.

He was also testing Sun Jia Qiang a bit now. From the current period of time, Sun Jia Qiang was doing quite well.

Probably because he had suffered losses, been hit, been cheated, and been cpu'd, Sun Jia Qiang cherished the straw Li Long gave very much.

Li Long carried the meat down and put it on the case, while Sun Jia Qiang sorted the collected fritillaria and put them into the jeep.

Li Long went over to set up the stove—he had been to so many winter camps, and he felt that the fire in none of the winter camps was as good as the two stoves in front of his wooden house at the moment.

In fact, he had thought about building two stoves in all the winter camps, but later thought forget it. When winter comes, the possibility of those herdsmen starting a fire outside is not high. An iron stove in the house is basically enough. At that time, they are not in a hurry, so there is no need to set up a stove outside in the middle of winter.

After loading the fritillaria, Li Long chatted with Sun Jia Qiang for a few words and then drove the jeep away. At this time, the sun was about to set, and he had to go over to tell Hou Zhengyi first. When the people are hauled tomorrow, after unloading the supplies, they have to follow him to the forestry team.

Anyway, there is a truck, so don't bother the second master.
