Chapter 30 Why should I tell you?
This area is where Splendens splendens grows. Achnatherum splendens is a good thing for making big brooms. Li Long remembers that from the previous life to the beginning of the 21st century, someone came to the village to collect splendens splendens, and one kilogram of splendens splendens cost two yuan. When he was selling fish, he once asked the old man next to him who was selling brooms made of splendens. The old man proudly told him that with the help of splendens, he bought a building for his two sons in the county and still had a lot of savings.
At that time, after the land was transferred to the cooperative, the villagers began to engage in side businesses when they were free. They could sell bitter beans and splendens for money.
No one wants Splenden splendens now. It grows as tall as a person and cannot be covered by snow.
Flocks of croaking chickens will lie down on the roots of Achnatherum splendens to avoid the wind and keep warm.
Although Li Long didn't turn on the light, the sky was still bright and he could vaguely see black lumps next to the splendens.
That should be it, right?
He walked over slowly, turned on the flashlight and shook it.
Sure enough, many croaking chickens huddled at the roots of Achnatherum splendens to keep warm.
Although the flashlight light alerted the few croaking chickens that were looking over here, they had no intention of flying away. They just shook their bodies and continued to lie down.
Li Long stepped forward, squatted down, and gently covered it with the net.
Only four were caught in this net. If it were not blocked by splendens, there could be more!
As soon as they entered the net, the croaking chicken immediately panicked. Li Long hurriedly reached under the net, grabbed the croaking chicken and stuffed it into the urea bag.
The croaking chickens outside the net have begun to get up, but because of the Achnatherum splendens, they cannot fly immediately, so they can only run away from Li Long.
The snow was very thick, and it was inconvenient to have one foot deep and one foot shallow. As a result, before a few croaking chickens could escape, Li Long had already covered them with his net.
In this way, when the flocks of croaking chickens were frightened and flew away, Li Long had already caught eleven croaking chickens.
Consider it a bumper harvest!
Carrying the harvest weighing six or seven kilograms, Li Long hurried back happily.
Although the way back was long, he felt very comfortable in his heart.
Leave a few of the croaking chickens at home tomorrow and sell the rest with the fish. You should be able to get a good price, right?
It is game after all!
It was already forty minutes before I got home. Li Long was panting from exhaustion. He thought it would be better to just go to Achnatherum splendens next time instead of taking a long detour. Otherwise, walking a long way would not be worthwhile.
Back in his house, Li Long tied the bag of croaking chicken and put it in the corner, put on his cloth shoes, and was taking off his clothes to bake it when he heard the door knock.
Looking up, it was Zhang Qianjin from the Zhang family in the team.
Zhang Qianjin is about thirty years old. Although he is not much older than Li Long, he still wants to call Li Jianguo his uncle. Of course, because people from all over the country moved here, calling Li Jianguo his uncle is also because Zhang Qianjin’s father, Zhang Guangzu, was also a group of people who came to build the team with Li Jianguo.
So like Tao Daqiang, everyone talks about their own things. When he saw Li Long, he smiled and said:
"Xiaolong, what are you doing? I just came here and saw that you were not there."
" I can't sleep, so I went out for a walk." Li Long, who was unfamiliar with Zhang Qianjin, said, "Is something wrong?"
" Something happened." Zhang Qianjin hit a soft spot. He was familiar with the situation. He sat on the kang and said with a smile:
“Today I borrowed the team’s carriage and planned to follow your lead in going to the mountains to pull some wood back to use as firewood. As a result, I arrived in Qingshui. River, I didn’t know how to walk the rest of the way, so I reluctantly led the carriage to the mountain pass, but couldn’t find any wood anywhere, so I finally picked up some branches and came back.”
Li Long said "hmm" and said nothing. Zhang Qianjin was a little depressed. According to Li Long's previous warm-heartedness, he would naturally take the initiative to point out the way to him at this time.
He borrowed the carriage today just like Li Long, spending one dollar and six, and because he was unwilling to do so, he spent another one and six to borrow the carriage for tomorrow.
If you can't get anything valuable back, then won't the more than three yuan be wasted?
So although Li Long’s lukewarm attitude made him a little embarrassed, he still said bravely:
"You see, as soon as you took action, you pulled back so much wood and even picked up a frozen sheep. As for us, we went to the three carriages, and the captain took his brother-in-law's carriage. Because he found a way into the mountain, he pulled a piece of pine wood Back.
I can only see the wood. There is no way to use firewood as a material. You, Xiao Long, are so good!”
Zhang Qianjin praised Li Long because he remembered that Li Long was very vain in the past, and he would definitely be praised by others. He can pour beans out of a bamboo tube, saying everything that should be said and what should not be said.
However, after listening to his words today, Li Long still replied with a lukewarm "Where is that?" and said nothing else.
Zhang Qianjin heard something flapping in the corner behind the door, but at the moment he was focused on how to find his way into the mountain and nothing else.
In fact, he and other drivers felt that even if they didn't know the way into the mountains, they could find the place just by following Li Long's carriage prints.
But they forgot that it was windy at the mountain pass. Li Long and the others did indeed enter the mountain from Qingshui River, but firstly, the way Li Long entered the mountain was relatively remote, and secondly, the wind was strong at the mountain pass, and the rut mark that Li Long entered the mountain was covered by the wind that night, and the wind blew snow and covered the mark.
That’s why it ended badly.
Seeing that Li Long would live or die, Zhang Qianjin had no choice but to bite the bullet and asked:
"Xiaolong, can you tell me how to get there? You give me I said, how about I give you a tower of wood when I come back?”
Li Longxin said no!
Your father is a master who likes to take advantage, and so are you. This cheap talk sounds nice, but it is not the case when it comes to actual work. Besides, why should I tell you the route?
"I entered the mountain from Qingshui River." Li Long pointed to the road, "The mountain pass is so big, just follow the direction, how can you not find it?"
"I just can't find it! There are so many ditches there , and the canal, there are so many bushes growing outside the production team, there is no road at all, we have to go there hard!"
Zhang Qianjin asked Li Long to look at his hands to see if there were any. The few small wounds were all caused by bush thorns while walking hard.
"Then I don't know." Li Long said, "That's how I walked. I entered the Qingshui River, then turned a few times and passed in the direction of the mountain pass."
He was not The main reason for eating alone is that these people are a little too much, which is equivalent to cutting off his path.
You have cut off my path, and you still expect me to show you a way to get rich?
Zhang Qianjin couldn’t ask anything from Li Long, so he had to leave in frustration.
He got angry on the road. I still don’t believe that I can’t find the way into the mountains without you, Li Long? Wait until I pick up the frozen sheep and see if I don't make you ashamed!
After Zhang Qianjin left, Li Long quickly took off his clothes, blew out the lamp and got into bed. He believed that if there were lights on here, someone would definitely come over and ask.
There was a tacit understanding, and the lights in the West Room quickly went out.
When Li Long got up the next day, he was shocked again!
