Chapter 25
Wang An said: "Biaoji, are you sure you want to go mountain-going with me?"
Li Biao said: "Sure! Why wouldn't I be sure, my eldest brother and second brother are both doing logging work in the forest farm, when it comes to me, my father's old comrade-in-arms tried several times and couldn't arrange it!"
Logging, that is, the lumberjacks of the forest farm, responsible for using chainsaws to fell trees, then sawing off the branches on the trees, leaving the trunk and thick branches, and not wanting the twigs! They are formal workers.
Wang An said: "Is a logging job so hard to arrange now?"
Li Biao said: "Yeah, they say even temporary workers can't get jobs now, there are too many people, and there are only so many jobs!"
Wang An said: "What about pulling the sled? Pulling the sled always needs people, right?"
Pulling the sled is using horses, mules, or oxen to pull a sled, pulling the trunks and thick branches out from deep in the forest! It's privately hired by contractors, requiring the sled pullers to bring their own sleds and large livestock, but the contractor provides the fodder for the large livestock!
Li Biao said: "Don't even mention pulling the sled, now pulling the sled, two or three people buy livestock together, work in shifts, there are more people waiting for work than there is timber! Those foremen are all arrogant as lightning!"
The foremen here refer to the sled-team foremen of the forest farm, that is, the sled-pulling contractors, who directly connect with the forest farm, the forest area is divided into sections, and each section has a sled-team foreman! The people who pull the sleds are all hired by each sled-team foreman, so they all have to listen to the foreman!
Wang An said: "What about the brick factory? Can't they arrange it either?"
Li Biao said: "They say the bricks and tiles can't be sold, the workers are just sitting there! Now the brick factory buys bricks and gives tiles, don't you think that's awesome? Hahaha..."
Wang An said: "Okay, I'm going into the mountains again tomorrow, and I'm inviting guests the day after tomorrow! After that, I guess I'll go into the mountains whenever I have nothing to do, you try going into the mountains with me first, if it works, you can work with me in the future, if you feel you can't take it, you can go play with your own spoon."
Li Biao said: "Pfft, who are you looking down on? It sounds like every time we wrestle, I'm the one on the bottom!"
This remark seemed to make Wang An think of the scene where he was squeezed by Li Biao and couldn't break free, and finally surrendered!
Wang An said: "Still being cheeky with me! Stupid Biaoji, have you not been beaten enough?"
Before he finished speaking, Wang An rushed over from the end of the kang, and before Li Biao could react, he pressed Li Biao down and hammered him!
Li Biao was of course unconvinced, stretching his neck and shouting: "If you have the ability, let me get up, let's fight again, you're just sneaking an attack, you're not even as good as a good old woman!"
The more he shouted, the more he got hammered, and the louder he shouted: "Do you dare to let me go, let's do it again, I'll let you use one hand and you still won't be a match, do you believe it?"
Wang An, while pressing Li Biao and hammering him, exerted a bit too much effort, so he didn't dare to speak, afraid that if he spoke, he would leak his strength! He just hammered!
Li Biao shouted angrily: "Xiao Anzi, you damn thing! If you're a man, let me get up!"
Wang An was exhausted, really exhausted!
He rode directly on top, hammering Li Biao while he was underneath, which was indeed much more energy-saving than pressing him down and hammering him!
After a few more minutes, Li Biao surrendered and stopped being tough! He begged for mercy!
Wang An let him go.
The two of them were again one at the head of the kang, one at the end of the kang, chatting plainly,
If it weren't for the fact that they were both panting, it would seem as if nothing had happened just now!
After a while, the two of them caught their breath.
Li Biao asked suspiciously: "Brother Wang, you've changed! You're different from before!"
Wang An's heart shook, but he asked calmly: "What? Not as comfortable as before when I hammered you?"
Li Biao replied: "No, before when I said 'let's do it again,' you would say 'it wasn't easy to press you down here,' and then when I said 'I'll let you use one hand,' you would let go and set up a stance to do it again with me."
Wang An: ".Damn!"
Li Biao said again: "Brother Wang, you've changed, didn't you notice that this part is wrong? Why didn't you let me get up and let us do it again?"
Wang An stared at Li Biao with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot!!
Li Biao discovered that Wang An kept staring at him, and seemed even more suspicious: "What are you looking at? Your eyes are straight, why are they the same as when you look at Mu Xueqing?"
Wang An: ".!"
These two completely different looks can also be put together!! Mainly because he really couldn't do it anymore, he hammered Li Biao twice in a row, it was too damn tiring!
This guy also has no memory! And always says things that no one would pull apart even if they were beaten!! Really no way, can't handle it!!
Forced, Wang An could only take the initiative to change the subject: "Does your family agree to let you use that Mosin-Nagant?"
Li Biao's family has a gun; in fact, in the Northeast, the number of guns on the surface is far from the actual number of guns!
Just like a hunting knife, in the village, many families don't have this thing, but more families do, and that number is really huge!
This land in the Northeast has experienced too, too much!
At first, the Russians were shameless, came over, and fought the Russians together!
Many groups of bandits, gangs, and bearded bandits responded! But they couldn't beat them!
The Japanese came in again, their attitude was still quite dog-like, so there was no way but to fight the Russians with the Japanese!
The Russians were driven away, the Japanese became shameless again, and they fought the Japanese!
At this time, the bandits, gangs, and bearded bandits all came out of the mountains one after another, and in the end, every mountain and village was empty!
Later, the Russians became good, came over to help fight the Japanese, and then the Japanese were finished.
Finally, there was internal conflict again! The result was very good!! The people lived a good life!
So, in this day and age in the Northeast, having a gun is too normal, but most of them are hidden! Because everyone is afraid!
Having this thing and not using it is a completely different concept from not having it!
Only when you have a bottom line in your heart will you have a sense of security!
Li Biao's family's Mosin-Nagant was a souvenir given to Li Facai by his comrade-in-arms in his early years.
It was maintained perfectly; Li Biao said that when Li Facai had nothing to do, he would sneak into the lower room, dismantle the gun into a pile of parts, and wipe each part one by one!
However, Li Facai was not a soldier; he was a militiaman who had been on a small battlefield, the kind that helped with logistics! He didn't say exactly what happened to him and his comrade-in-arms. So no one knew!
Li Biao's family also had a single-barreled shotgun, which was a 16-gauge shotgun, which could fire slugs or scattershot!
The Mosin-Nagant was the Li family's hidden gun; except for a few people with special relationships in the village, no outsiders knew about it!
On the surface, the Li family only had this 16-gauge shotgun! Zhao Facai, Li Long, Li Hu, and Li Biao would occasionally hunt wild chickens and rabbits near the village!
Mainly because this thing is too dangerous to hunt large livestock! One bullet at a time, whether it's a slug or scattershot, they are all lead bullets!
The power of a slug is greater than a 56-semi, but after this shot, unless you hit the head! Otherwise, it often cannot kill the large livestock immediately!
And then reloading, there's simply no time! The result can be imagined!!
Of course, many old hunters or gunners have always used this thing! And they haven't killed fewer large livestock!
Wang An dared to shoot at a top-tier fierce beast like a mountain leopard, partly because he had confidence in his marksmanship, and partly because he had confidence in the gun!
The 56-semi, with a full ten bullets, continuously pulling the trigger, can achieve rapid fire! It can empty the magazine in fifteen or sixteen seconds!
Li Biao replied: "I don't know! If not, I'll take the shotgun and go with you!"
Wang An froze for a moment, then said angrily: "Do you think of yourself as a gunner? What can you do if you take that thing into the mountains?"
He said again: "What? Is the wild boar itchy, and you want to use that thing to poke it??"
Li Biao said a bit unable to hold up: "My marksmanship is also quite decent! I've also hit wild chickens and rabbits!"
Wang An said disdainfully: "Forget it! More than ten wild chickens gathered together, and you only hit one with a scattershot! And that rabbit had a snare mark on its neck! Do you have any idea how it died?"
Thank you to the relatives who gave me monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and collection tickets! I won't name them one by one to thank them! Thank you all!!
Although Santu's results are very poor, and the ranking is always falling! But as long as you are here, I will work hard and write with my heart!! Even if I don't earn a penny, I will write!!
In addition, whether it's criticism or suggestions, thank you to the old friends who commented for me!!
Finally, if you have tickets, throw a few, if you don't have tickets, forget it! It's perfectly fine not to give them even if you have them!!
