Chapter 40: Who is afraid of whom?
Although it is not a holiday, the department store is quite lively. There are many people and the sound is very loud and noisy.
Li Long took a look and saw that they were all here to buy new year goods. There are many workers in Shicheng, and if you have some money at the end of the year, even if you can't afford big purchases, it's still a good idea to buy two kilograms of fruit candies, some sesame cakes, or two bottles of canned food.
Yang Bailao still pulls two feet of red-headed rope during the Chinese New Year.
When he saw Jiang noodles, he squeezed over and weighed one kilogram. Compared with fruit candies, this kind of snacks coated in white sugar and deep-fried are obviously more advanced. Then there are fried peanuts. The production team grows oil sunflowers, and each family can share some in the fall, and use part of it to press oil, while some are kept for frying during the New Year, but after eating, their mouths will turn black.
The peanuts Li Long bought were also divided into two parts, one for himself and one for Tao Daqiang.
He turned around and saw the double-barreled shotgun again - called a sand gun in the local dialect here, because the shotguns were filled with iron sand or lead, and single-headed bullets were used less. One branch is clearly priced at more than three hundred. There are also air guns, each worth over a hundred.
A small-caliber rifle costs one hundred and eighty, the price of a bicycle. Small-caliber rifle bullets were about the same size as thin pencils, and they could still be sold at this time. Li Long was very excited to see them.
It’s a pity that I have no money.
I walked around again and saw cotton and rubber shoes for children. I wanted to buy them for Li Qiang and Li Juan, but I didn’t know the shoe sizes of the two children, so I had to wait until next time.
He walked around but didn't see anyone selling fishing nets, so he left the department store and went in for Tao Daqiang.
"Daqiang, I bought four kilograms of fried peanuts. You have two kilograms and I have two kilograms. I didn't see the fishing net. You go in and take a look."
"Okay." Tao Daqiang I entered the department store with anxiety and excitement.
But he came out after a while, and Li Long could even see sweat on his face.
“Why did you come out?”
"No... I don't know what to buy. There are too many things and there are too many people."
Li Long smiled. This was cowardice. But it’s okay, just come a few more times.
"Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative and see if there are any fishing nets there."
The supply and marketing cooperative is not very far from the department store, and the carriage will arrive soon. There were not many cars on the road at this time, but there were a few cyclists passing by in a hurry.
"Are you going in or should I go in?" When they arrived at the place, Li Long asked Tao Daqiang.
"Brother Long, let's go in alone. I didn't dare to ask just now." Tao Daqiang was a little embarrassed, "If you have it, buy it for me. If you don't have it... forget it."
Li Long entered the supply and marketing cooperative and saw There are fewer people here than in department stores, and the noise is quieter.
He walked around and saw someone selling fishing nets, but they were large pulling nets and blocking nets, and small ones were just sticky nets, not copy nets.
Li Long was a little disappointed, but he still asked about the price of the sticky net.
At this time, there were only single-layer sticky nets. A fifty-meter three-finger net cost two yuan, and a two-finger net cost one dollar and seven. He knew the price, but he didn't buy it, and the salesman didn't say anything.
After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Long told Tao Daqiang about the situation. Tao Daqiang was a little disappointed, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"Let's go back." Li Long looked at the time. The sun was slightly to the west, which was earlier than the time it was sold out yesterday.
But it still takes two hours to get to Ma County from Shicheng, and nearly two hours to get back. It should be almost dark by the time we get home.
When Li Long passed by a state-owned hotel, he bought four steamed buns and the two of them ate while walking.
When he left Shicheng, Li Long suddenly stopped.
Tao Daqiang was chewing on the meat buns. When he saw Li Long stop, he asked:
"Brother Long, what's wrong?" He sat on the carriage with his head facing back and did not see the situation. "Someone is blocking the road, most likely because they want to steal money." Li Long whispered.
As soon as he heard that he was going to rob the money, Tao Daqiang stuffed the bun into his mouth, jumped out of the car and looked ahead.
Two young men, one holding an iron chain and the other holding an iron pipe, slowly walked towards the carriage.
There were woods on both sides. No matter where the two guys were looking for it, they would go straight into the woods after grabbing it, and it would be difficult to find it.
"Brother Long, do you want to fight or not?" Tao Daqiang was a little nervous.
"Are you afraid?" Li Long held the whip for driving the horse in his hand, and the whip rope was wrapped around the pole to make it easier to hit.
"Afraid? Afraid of a fight!" Tao Daqiang spat, "If you want to steal our money, you have to fight to the death!"
You need your life, but you also need your money!
"Brothers, we are asking for money rather than our lives. Let's pay for the road, no more than ten yuan, and you can leave. Otherwise, if people don't say anything and beat you to death, it won't be easy for you, right?"< br>
The man holding the iron chain stood down five meters in front of the carriage and said, "We are not greedy either. I know you made a lot of money this time, how about it?”
“Not so good!” Li Long sneered, “You want to have free time? Let’s see if you have this ability!”
He turned to Tao Daqiang and said:
“You are left and I am right...”
Before he could finish speaking, Tao Daqiang had already rushed forward!
The two people were shocked. What do you mean, just do it?
Li Long saw Tao Daqiang rushing over and immediately followed him. He rushed with a whip pole and whipped the man holding the iron pipe on the head - the whip was long and had an advantage.
The man holding the iron chain saw Tao Daqiang rushing over and knew he couldn't do anything good. His chain had already been thrown up. Unexpectedly, although Tao Daqiang was stupid, he was no stranger to fighting and joking in the team. He jumped up when Suddenly, he hit the other person with the hat on his head. The man was dazzled. Tao Daqiang kicked him in the chest. The man took two steps back. Tao Daqiang had already stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder, giving him a headbutt. Just hit him in the face!
The man screamed and squatted down, covering his head. His eyes were full of blood and he couldn't see anything. He was in so much pain!
Tao Daqiang's side was in direct collision, while Li Long's side was in You Dou's direction. He whipped up his whip, and the opponent blocked it with an iron pipe. Li Long didn't get close. He didn't have Tao Daqiang's body shape, and he wasn't very good at fighting, but his reactions were flexible. Just give the other person a cold blow, making the other person very annoyed but unable to do anything about it.
The man held the iron pipe and rushed towards Li Long regardless of it. As long as he got close, he could hit him hard, but he heard his partner's scream!
When he turned around to look, Li Long knew that the opportunity had come. He rushed over quickly, grabbed the opponent's arm and threw him over.
He is not good at fighting, but he has practiced wild wrestling!
At this time, Tao Daqiang also came to help and knocked down the Jie Dao who was in a stalemate with one punch. Li Long took the opportunity to step forward and step on the opponent a few times, making it impossible for him to turn over.
"Search." Li Long said to Tao Daqiang:
"See if there is anything valuable."
Since he came to rob the Tao, he naturally had to be aware of being robbed.
"Brother Long, I have twelve yuan here and a stack of food stamps." After the fight, Tao Daqiang was so naive that he even revealed his name for Li Long.
On Li Long's side, he found eight yuan and fifty cents, some food stamps, and a pen. He didn't know whether it was someone else's or the man's own.
"Take the iron chains and iron pipes, let's go!" Li Long put away the money and said:
"We have to leave as soon as possible."
This is other people's territory, and he is worried about the other party's retaliation.
On the last day of the May Day holiday, I would like to thank Taiwanese bookworm friends for the reward and thank you all for your support! Today is the first round of recommendations, and I’m still a little excited. I hope the data will look better, and I hope everyone will continue to support me!
