Chapter 175 How good it is to be a quiet drug dealer
Watching Harimu and the others leaving, Li Long actually felt a little relaxed.
Fortunately, those two suspects did not go to Harimu's place, otherwise, they might really hurt someone.
Of course, it is possible that I went there. I was afraid that there would be too many people in Harimu’s house, so I didn’t dare to go there.
Li Long was thinking wildly as he pushed his bicycle back to his winter nest.
It was not completely dark yet, and only then did he realize that there were a lot of things scattered outside his winter home.
There were two antlers and a bag with some caladiums scattered on the ground. Preliminary judgment shows that this bag of caladium must weigh five or six kilograms, and it is semi-dry.
This is what the two people dropped. I don’t know if they dug it or robbed someone else.
The ax was also thrown on the wooden floor outside the cabin.
Li Long gathered these things together. For a moment, he planned to hide the antlers and caladiums privately.
Then he gave up the idea - this thing only costs one or two hundred yuan at best. For such a small amount of money, it is not worth taking the risk. Besides, the ax is likely to be a murder weapon, so it is better not to do such a stupid thing.
Seeing that it was still dark, Li Long packed his things in a sack, put them on the back seat of his bicycle, and then rushed out of the mountain in a hurry.
It was already dark after we left the mountain, and it was completely dark before we even reached the county seat.
Li Long was not afraid at all, and was even a little excited, but he was very fast. The usual journey of more than an hour took him to less than an hour today.
There were no street lights in the county at this time, so Li Long slowed down. He felt like he was already soaked in sweat.
When he arrived at the police station, Li Long knocked on the door and the policeman on duty came out. What surprised Li Long was that it was Guo Tiebing who was on duty today.
"Huh? Xiao Li, what are you..."
"After I entered the mountain, I found that there were a lot of things they left behind at the door of my winter nest. Why don't I give them away? Come here."
"You...it's late at night, tomorrow. It's not too late to send it." Guo Tiebing was actually a little moved, "Actually, they also confessed, but apart from an ax, the other things are not very important..."
Li Long felt very dangerous, these two people Sure enough, I confessed it. Fortunately, I am not that greedy!
Taking things out of the sack and placing them on the ground one by one, Li Long said:
"I don't know the rules. There must be my fingerprint on it, otherwise I can't take it. Look..."
"That's okay, that should be all these things." Guo Tiebing said with a smile, "Okay, Come, let me register, and then go and have a rest. It’s tiring coming all the way from the mountains.”
After putting down the things, Li Long finally felt relieved and said:
"Okay, I'm going back to the yard to sleep. It's been a tiring day."
"Go quickly. But you still have to lock the door and pay attention to safety. You see, you caught a thief in the big yard. This is a sparsely populated area in the mountains, and you have to meet two murderers——"
Li Long also felt that his experience was quite special. Logically speaking, there should not be many people committing crimes these days, but why was he so special?
Back in the compound, Li Long locked the door, entered the main room, locked the door again, thought about it, wiped the small-caliber rifle well, and then went to bed after maintenance.
When he got up the next day, he went to the Big Meat Canteen for breakfast. Li Long hurried to Xiaobaiyanggou. After arriving at the place, Xie Yundong came to see Li Long.
"Xiaolong, that man came over again that day. He put down a bag of caladiums. The bag was quite heavy. It seemed to weigh fifteen or six kilograms. He said he believed you and would come over to look for you in the afternoon. You want money, you decide the price.”
Li Long was a little surprised. He knew that Xie Yundong was definitely not talking about the translator but the team leader. But does the other party trust me so much now? After all, this bag of caladiums costs forty or fifty yuan.
“Brother Yundong, apart from this matter, is there nothing else?”
“No, everything is fine. Now we have compiled almost 200 tricks, which is just right. Check what you have done in the past two days."
Li Long nodded, put away the bicycle, and went to check what he had done in the past two days with his gun on his back.
Checking them one by one, Li Long found that most of them were good, but not all of them were qualified.
He took out five loosely knitted lifting poles with a larger end and a smaller one and placed them on the edge of the pit, so that it would be easier to tell which ones were unqualified.
"Xiaolong, I was negligent." When Xie Yundong saw that Li Long had picked out five uncooperative ones, he said with some embarrassment: "I have checked them all, but I just feel..."
"Brother Yundong, you are not among these five, right?"
"That's not true."
"There is no powerful one, right?"
"No."
"What does it mean? It means that you and Daqiang are serious, know the standards, and follow them. As for them, although they also know the standards, they don't feel how strict they are. I made it up earlier. So much is fine, just relax now.”
Xie Yundong smiled bitterly.
When all the cutters came back to prepare, Li Long told the unqualified ones one by one.
He was going to deliver the goods to Li Xiangqian, so he would never let the unqualified ones go. At this time, no matter whether it is to make a bad face or to show off, we must not let go of the unqualified ones.
The unqualified ones were reported to the person responsible for the work one by one, and everyone accepted it with a blushing face and reworked it, which was quite embarrassing.
What surprised Li Long was that none of these five unqualified bosses were compiled by Xu Jianjun.
Did he really change his gender and change his evil ways?
Li Long didn't think much about it. When these people continued to make up stories, he went over to look at those fritillaries.
The quality of the caladiums is pretty good, with little mud, big size, and no stray leaves. I don’t know if the hands of those who dug the caladiums are cleaner, but they were carefully selected. All in all, it’s better than the 10 kilograms the first time. Some.
Weighing it down, it is about 16 or 7 kilograms, which is quite generous.
Li Long decided to give the other party fifty yuan. Since he trusted him, he could not betray this trust.
During lunch, Li Long saw that everyone was there, and then he said the most important thing:
"Now that everyone is here, you eat, let me tell you something more important. Something happened. Two murderers were caught in the mountains last night. These two people were running around in the mountains. He dug for fritillaries and antlers, killed lone people, and robbed people of their belongings. He even raided people in their winter dens at night and was caught.”
“What? Is there such a thing?" Xie Yundong was startled, "Why are these two so bad?"
"Do these two people have guns?" Tian Siping asked. "Brother Long, are they the two people you arrested?"
"Can we still stay here tonight?" Wei Zhonghua was startled.
"These two people did not bring guns. They were caught by me and asked to shoot them twice." Li Long said, "I tell you to be more alert at night. We have made up more than half of them now. There are not many tasks left. Try to complete it as soon as possible and then go back."
"But everyone. Don't be afraid." Seeing that these people still looked a little uneasy, Li Long said with a smile, "There are eleven of us here, and only two of them were arrested. You can beat them to death even if you just hit them on the head... ...Besides, even if someone wants to cause trouble for you, they won’t dare to see so many people here in broad daylight.”
"That's right." Xie Yundong nodded, "We don't have anything for people to take advantage of. We are not digging fritillaries and picking up antlers. They can't carry a few of them. It's not worth the money."
< br>After saying this, everyone relaxed. Tian Siping was even a little excited: "If a bad guy really dares to come, I will be the first to beat him up!"
Others also relaxed and said to each other Most of them focus on how to prevent.
After all, I am a banker and have never done anything serious, so I would be lying if I said I was not worried at all. The first thing I think about is how to prevent it.
“Actually, here at night, we just make a simple door with tree branches or something like that. As long as someone breaks in and there is movement, that’s fine. There’s no need to fight back first, just yell, and everyone else will Hearing that, he can't even run away!" Xie Yundong was the manager after all. He calmed down and said, "We are on guard, but don't scare yourself."
That's it.
We continued to work on the choreography in the afternoon. When the sun was about to set, a horseman came from Mizoguchi.
Li Long and Xie Yundong came over with bags in hand.
It was indeed the team leader. He got off his horse, looked at Li Long and said a lot of words.
After listening, Xie Yundong asked a few more questions and repeated several sentences before saying to Li Long:
"He said that they have sold all the fritillaries to you in the past two days. These are sold for three yuan. You can see if it works. If it works, just pay for it."
Although it is the same as before. What he said was different, but Li Long thought it was pretty good, so he took out five big unity cards and handed them over, and then said to Xie Yundong :
"Tell him, I weighed it and found that this bag is only 16 or 17 kilograms. At three yuan, it is almost fifty yuan."
The team leader took the money After spitting on his fingers and counting carefully, he gave Li Long a thumbs up and said a few words.
This time Xie Yundong didn’t ask again and said directly:
"He said you are a good person, you don't bully them, and the price you give is fair. However, their group will soon change locations, and they will no longer sell caladiums in the future. If there is a chance in the future, I will look for you again."
The team leader left, and Li Long also put Fritillaria on his bicycle and prepared to return to Dongwozi.
Seeing that Li Long was leaving, Tao Daqiang said worriedly:
"Brother Long, is it dangerous for you to be alone there? Do you want me to dig out a shelter for you? Just stay with us.”
“No, no, no.” Li Long smiled, “I have a gun, those people should be afraid of me. Besides, there are so many bad guys in this mountain, it’s my luck to run into one. Great.”
Riding my bicycle back to Dongwozi, it was already dark. After what happened the night before, Li Long went directly into the house and locked the door, put the gun at hand, loaded the bullet, closed the safety, and went to sleep.
No words for a night. Li Long got up early the next morning and made some random breakfast. Then he went to the mountains to get some wild celery and wild leeks. He also picked up some familiar non-toxic wild mushrooms and put them in bags. After packing the fritillaries, jade and leather obtained from Harimu, I locked the door and rode to the county seat.
As usual, he put the fritillaries in the wing room to dry, and put the jade in a special room. After locking it, Li Long took the leathers and went to the purchasing station.
While Chen Hongjun was away, Li Long sold these skins for a total of more than 140 yuan, mainly because the deer skin was more valuable.
Next, Li Long didn't stop and rode towards the village. He turned in when he reached the middle school halfway.
Gu Xiaoxia had finished class and was washing rice at the artesian well outside the dormitory for cooking. Li Long shared some of the wild vegetables and mushrooms he had brought with her.
"You just came back from the mountains? Wait, I cook very quickly here."
Li Long was indeed a little tired, so he said:
"Okay, then I'll rest for a while and wait for you to cook."
"Come into the room and sit down." Gu Xiaoxia led Li Long to the dormitory, pointed to the bed and said, "There is no stool, just sit there ”
Li Long smiled and said:
"Okay, you can do your work, I will take a rest."
Gu Xiaoxia blushed slightly and continued to wash rice. Li Long saw that she scooped out half the bowl again. After Mi passed by, he stood up and looked at the door.
The well platform of the school is 80 centimeters high. An iron pipe protrudes from the well platform, and then another pipe is welded horizontally, and the water flows out from the pipe. The bottom was covered with cement boards and a trough was dug. The water flowed out of nowhere.
Li Long remembered that artesian wells like this were very common in this era, because the groundwater level was relatively high. As long as the water layer was drilled and the pipe was connected, the water would flow automatically.
He suddenly thought about using water at home - should he also install a borehole at home at this time?
Nowadays, the village still uses underground wells for drinking water. Several families work together to dig a well, which is about three or four meters deep. Then, just like building a roof, it is sealed with wood and reed handles, and then covered with soil. , leaving only one wellhead.
When fetching water, you go to the pole with an iron hook to lift the bucket up. This is also a technical job. If the bucket cannot be lifted well, it will fall inside.
The underground water layer in the village is shallow, but it does not extend into several layers. Most of the shallow layer is saline-alkali water. Water will come out when it is pumped two meters above. However, the water is not drinkable, and alkaline foam will appear when you pour it on the ground.
Draft wells need to be dug many times before a suitable water source is found. Water is also drawn from such wells in winter. However, in winter there will be a thick layer of ice on the manhole cover, making it easy to slip and fall.
Li Long decided that after the editor-in-chief was over, he would clean up the well at home!
It is too troublesome to carry water every day. As long as the well is well-killed, it can still be used in winter, which is very convenient.
According to the normal historical trajectory, it will take another five to ten years for every household to kill wells, and now they are generally underground wells.
Five to ten years later, the team drilled another motorized well and went directly to the motorized well to draw water.
After that, every household would hire a well digger to dig a small well, install a small water pump, plug it in and pump water continuously - at that time, the groundwater level was already very low.
Li Long was thinking about these questions. Gu Xiaoxia came back from washing rice. Seeing him blankly, she asked:
"What are you thinking about?"
"Thinking about...thinking about the future life. "Li Long replied subconsciously.
When Gu Xiaoxia heard this, her face turned red. She lowered her head and walked to the dormitory without asking any more questions.
Li Long knew that she had misunderstood, but he didn't think about it and didn't explain it. It was a misunderstanding, which was fine.
