Chapter 116 The joy of changing history
"Uncle, how are you now? Have you taken your medicine?" Li Long asked Tao Jianshe while standing on the edge of the kang.
"After eating, Daqiang insisted on asking Lao Tian to give me an injection. Why waste that money? Just take some aspirin." Tao Jianshe struggled to get up, and Li Long hurriedly held him down, "Uncle , don’t get up, I just came over to take a look, I will give you a lot of strength in the past two days Cooked? "
"Yes, Daqiang didn't trust me, so he just cooked and gave me medicine." Tao Jianshe sighed, "Dayong came over. It’s hard to take care of that family too.”
Li Long was speechless.
This is quite biased.
But this was a family matter, and he had nothing to say. After chatting for a few words, he went out. Tao Daqiang sent it out, and Li Long took out ten yuan and stuffed it into his hand:
"Go to Lao Tian and give Dad an injection to get rid of the inflammation first. The injection is quick, but who knows how long it will take to take the medicine. "We are most likely to get sick during the winter and spring seasons, so we can't wait." It is true that my father's medical treatment costs a lot of money, but he spent the New Year money too much before and gave his nephew the New Year's money. As a result, his father is sick now and he wants to spend money, but he can't come up with much.
"If you have any difficulties, just come to me." Li Long was a little surprised to find that the height gap between himself and Tao Daqiang seemed to have narrowed. He didn't know whether it was Tao Daqiang who was stooped or whether he had grown taller again. He patted him. Strong shoulders:
"I won't go to the mountains these days. I will stay at home."
"Then...Brother Long, are you still catching fish to sell?" Tao Daqiang asked with bright eyes. When he had no money, he realized how easy it was to make money with Li Long.
"When your father is well, come to me. You can catch him twice before the snow melts." Li Long said.
Tao Daqiang thought, twice is enough. If you do it twice, you can pay back the ten dollars.
He held the ten dollars in his hand tightly. The snow was melting behind him and he couldn't catch any fish, so he had to live a tight life.
"When the snow melts, the two of us will set down the net to catch fish. I have already bought a sticky net, but the water is cold in spring. You see..."
"I'm not afraid of the cold!" Tao Daqiang continued to catch fish after hearing this The fish were sold for money, so he couldn't wait to interrupt Li Long: "I'm not afraid! When it just started snowing, I went to Wei Lake to catch reeds. Son, I’m not even afraid of the icy water that’s waist-deep!”
“Okay,” Li Long nodded, “we’ll discuss it when your father recovers.”
Watching Li Long leave, Tao Daqiang turned around and hurried to Lao Tian's house. He wanted Lao Tian to give his father an injection so that his father would get better quickly.
When Lao Tian heard that Tao Daqiang was going to give his father an injection, he said:
"I just told you that your dad's illness can only be cured by injections. Those pills costing a few cents are not of much use. He has been coughing for so many years. Don't you know what's going on with you? Just wait while I give the injection." Iron it and sterilize it.”
Aluminum needle box with glass in it. Dr. Lao Tian poured boiling water into the syringe box from the thermos, and then took out a carton of medicine. After a while, he took out the syringe with tweezers, poured out the water, and put the needle in again. Put it into the medicine bag together with the medicine, and follow Tao Daqiang to his house.
Li Long was very happy. In the last life, Tao Jianshe finally survived the winter with a few painkillers and aspirin, but at the beginning of spring, a late spring cold made his condition worse. He survived for another half a year, and closed his eyes when winter was approaching.
In fact, Lao Tian said many times later that if Tao Jianshe got an anti-inflammatory injection in time in winter, the disease would not worsen to that extent later.
Although he has resumed his life, Li Long is not a memory repeater. He only remembers many things after experiencing them, including Tao Jian's illness.
Now, Li Long feels like he is about to change history, so he is very happy.
Nothing happened in the afternoon. After cleaning the small-caliber rifle, he took the gun, bullets and a thin wire cover and planned to go to Hongliutan.
The rabbit trap over there hasn't been walked for a long time. This time I went over to see if I can get any results. If not, I will put down a few more traps and come over early tomorrow to have a look.
If you can encounter animals, it’s time to practice with a small caliber.
Maintaining a small diameter is a delicate job. He could tell that the gun Li Qiang had not been used for a long time. A lot of gun oil was used during the last maintenance, and the oil in the bolt was a little condensed.
There was no gun oil, so he used the oil cloth that came with the gun holster to wipe it clean, including the bullets. The bullet, which was as thin as a pencil tip, was polished by Li Long until it shined brightly. This thing has a caliber of 5.6 mm. It is said to be a small caliber, but in fact it is not much different from the caliber of automatic rifles in later generations.
"Uncle, are you going hunting? Can you take me with you?" When Li Long went out, Li Qiang followed him and asked.
"I have to go a long way, can you keep up?" Li Long asked with a smile.
"Yes!" Li Qiang agreed immediately, and then looked at Li Long expectantly.
"Then go talk to your parents and wear thicker clothes."
Now the snow outside has solidified, with a thick layer of crust on top and sand-like ice particles on the bottom. Every step you take Very difficult. Although Li Qiang plays outside every day as exercise, walking this way will definitely be very tiring.
It’s good to do some exercise.
Li Juan also wants to go, but unfortunately school will start in a few days and she has not finished her homework yet, so she can only stay at home and do her homework.
Not far after Li Long took Li Qiang out, he saw Wang Caimi walking along the roadside carrying a red wicker basket, bending down to pick something up as he walked.
"Have you eaten, Brother Wang?"
"Have you eaten, what are you...what are you shooting for? What kind of gun are you holding? It looks so beautiful!" Wang Caimi looked at the gun on Li Long's back, His eyes lit up, and as he said, there is no man who doesn't like guns.
"Small caliber, I'm going to see if there are rabbits and play around. Are you picking up manure?"
"Well, it's not going to be spring soon, and my vegetable garden is not fertile enough. Use manure to encourage him."
Wang Caimi watched Li Qiang leave and secretly sighed, this boy from the Li family is getting more and more extraordinary.
This small caliber is not affordable for ordinary people. Although every household in the team has a few rounds of standard bullets, not everyone has a gun.
Li Long also saw a few people on the road. Some people were picking up dung like Wang Caimi, while others, like the Li family before, lacked firewood preparations, so they had to go to Red Willow Beach to cut down red willows every day and burn them back - the branches of this thing are far less resistant to burning than the roots. They were cut at minus 20 degrees Celsius. Red willow is also a hard job.
When Li Long and Li Qiang followed the traces they had walked before to Hongliutan, they knew that some condoms had been walked by others.
On the edge of Hongliu Beach, Li Long found a total of three empty condoms, and two more were picked up by others. There were signs of things being tossed around there, so they must have trapped rabbits.
Li Long felt a little pity, but there was nothing he could do. If you don't come for a walk for so long, it will naturally give others an advantage.
He took Li Qiang and continued walking in - there should have been light snow when he went to the mountains some time ago, and the rabbit tracks in the Red Willow Beach had changed. Li Long planned to go in and take a look, hit him if he encountered it, and trap him if he couldn't. .
"Uncle, has the rabbit been taken away by someone?" Li Qiang was very patient this time and didn't even complain of being tired until here. However, he could see some clues from Li Long's paused movements.
"Well, it's possible." Li Long said, "Let's take a look inside, and you can also look around to see if there is anything alive."
Li Qiang nodded heavily. , and then looked around.
After walking more than ten steps, he suddenly saw a brown thing moving next to the red willow tree. He immediately shouted softly:
"Uncle, there is something there!"
As soon as he shouted, the things that were originally beside the red willow tree immediately jumped up.
Li Long immediately saw that it was a fox!
