Before Li Long went to the woodwork factory to receive the batch of furniture, he calculated that a total of seven groups of people from the Shicheng Corps company came to buy harvesters.
This kind of frequency made him couldn't help but wonder, was this the fault of Kuitun Agricultural Machinery Factory?
After all, I have heard of many scams in later generations where sellers ask for help to buy a specific product.
Of course, in fact, at least so far in this life, the only real scammers I have encountered, or in other words, empty-handed scammers, are the ones who raise deer and the ones who speculate.
These are all relatively low-level games that can be broken at a glance.
Li Long told these people to come here after March. Anyway, he told Kuitun that he was their agent, and now it seems that Kuitun is really trustworthy.
After dinner in the morning, Li Long started the tractor and cleaned the contents of the truck - in fact, it was snow. There was another heavy snowfall on the seventh day of the first lunar month. It took most of the day just to clear the snow in the yard. time.
Li Long also took the time to clear the snow in the small yard to the south. Sister Yang wanted to cook, but Li Long refused to let her go and went to clear the snow by himself.
Fortunately, he is very strong, so this little job is really nothing.
I just feel that if this continues, it will be more difficult to drive a tractor into the mountains. I don’t know if anyone has ever walked on the road into the mountain.
When the tractor drove to the woodwork factory, Li Long found that there were already some customers here to choose furniture.
There were two groups of middle-aged and elderly people with young men and women. Li Long guessed that they might have gotten married in the spring and were now picking out furniture for their new houses.
How many legs and stuff like that.
He just glanced at it, and Qi Xinzhi, who was greeting the guests over there, came over. After Li Long got off the tractor, he took the initiative to shake hands with him and said:
"The factory director went to the county to do some work. He told me this morning that if you come over, let me take you to load the car."
"Okay, okay, then I'm not polite, just pretend." Li Long said.
Qi Xinzhi called people over to continue to receive those people to look at the furniture, and then called some workers to help Li Long load the car.
Later, I ordered a lot of furniture, which could not fit in one cart. In fact, it could be packed, but it would be easy to get damaged due to the collision, so Li Long thought of dressing it up twice.
"I'll go to the finance department to settle the account." Li Long said, "I'll come over to pick up the rest in the afternoon or tomorrow."
"Okay." Qi Xinzhi smiled when he saw Li Long asking to pay first, "I guarantee that no one will touch these furniture when you come to pull them out again."
Li Long went to the finance department to pay the money, kept the receipt, said hello to Qi Xinzhi, and drove the tractor toward the mountains.
He had already told Gu Xiaoxia in the morning, and also told Sister Yang that he would not eat lunch today, and he might not be able to make it to lunch.
After driving a jeep for a few days, and then driving a tractor, although the temperature is no longer as cold as those days of March 9, 1949, Li Long still feels that it is really hard to drive a tractor in this winter.
There are more and more cars coming and going on Wuyi Highway - more cars means that every 70 to 80 minutes, you may encounter one, coming from the opposite direction or passing from behind.
The tractor was not slow and could not compare with those cars, so Li Long jogged slowly on the right side, his body shaking with the front of the tractor. He got used to it after shaking.
When the tractor drove to Qingshuihe Township, Li Long breathed a sigh of relief. You can see traces of carriages heading into the mountains. Although it's just a round trip, the thick snow has been pressed out, making it easier for the tractor to drive up.
The churning sound of the tractor echoed in the mountains. When Li Long carefully drove the tractor to Harimu's winter nest, his family, old and young, had already left the winter nest, waiting to greet Li Long.
Li Long drove the tractor to Dongwozi, turned off the engine, got off the front of the vehicle, shook hands with Harimu, and after greeting his family members one by one.
Unload the furniture and go inside to drink milk tea.
Harimu's wife smiled and poured milk tea for them.
"Will the wolf come again later?" Li Long asked while drinking milk tea.
"There are still wolves at night," Harimu said, "but they just bark from a distance and don't dare to come closer. They should be the ones who fled into the forest. By the way, let me tell you something."
Harimu pointed in the direction of the mountain and said:
"Not long after you left last time, Talihar came over and said he met a big guy."
"Big guy? What? Did he defeat him?" Li Long was a little surprised and curious, and asked hurriedly.
"It's a bear, ha bear, so tall!" Harimu stood up, stood on tiptoes and raised his hands to gesture, "So fat!"
Holy shit!
Li Long couldn't help but uttered a curse word. This is at least two meters tall and weighs seven to eight hundred kilograms!
Maybe even heavier!
This is an adult brown bear! Comparing the one I saw in the Yili Prefecture Museum in my previous life with this one, it is really the difference between a primary school student and an adult!
"Did he hit?" Li Long asked after taking a sip of milk tea after digesting the shock in his heart.
"No... you also know that Talihar always wanted to be a competent hunter, but because there are no real hunters in our tribe, Yushanjiang and I, who are the best at hunting, actually only know how to hunt. Shooting, just knowing a few tricks..." Li Long naturally knew this. His hunting knowledge was basically learned from Yushanjiang and Halimu, and he would figure it out on his own later. Fortunately, the resources for wild beast prey in the Tianshan Mountains are too abundant, and my equipment is too sharp, so I basically get something every time.
This is simply impossible to do in other places with many people.
Just like thirty or forty years later, on the China-Kazakhstan border, people here looked at the flocks of yellow sheep running on the grasslands over there - thirty or forty years later, there were only small flocks of yellow sheep here. There are only a few in small groups, but there are also large groups of dozens or hundreds on the Harfang grassland.
Why? Because even in a sparsely populated place like Northern Xinjiang, the population density has far exceeded that of Harbin, and is many times more than the population of Northern Xinjiang forty years ago.
Naturally, it is easier to hunt if there are more resources. Even if you are a half-hearted hunter, as long as your hands are steady and you can hunt wild boars, wolves, and yellow sheep with five or six half dozen, doesn't it just mean you have the hands?
It doesn’t require much skill at all.
"Talihar has always wanted to be a real hunter since he got the seventeen wild goats last year, but this time, he regretted it."
"Because of the bear?"
"Yes, this time he encountered the bear during the day. The bear ran very fast in the snow. It may have been disturbed by wolves or wild boars while sleeping in the winter. It was very irritable and would directly attack any animal it encountered. Kill, Talihar was so frightened that he didn’t dare to move..."
"Then is he injured?" Hearing that Talihar was too frightened to move, Li Long was also startled. If he didn't move, wouldn't he become the meat in the brown bear's mouth? Even if you have to sit down with such a big guy for a while, you can’t stand it, right?
"Fortunately, what provoked the bear was a few wolves that accidentally broke into the cave where the bear lived. Those wolves attracted the attention of the bear, and Talihar finally ran away. After running away, I was sick at home for two days and then came over to tell us about this.”
Li Long nodded, this is normal.
Being stared at deathly by a nearly one ton man was like facing the test of life and death, and it was normal to be frightened.

"After coming here to tell us, Yu Shanjiang and I felt that it might have been this big guy who had driven out so many wolves from Lishan."
Harimu drank up the milk tea in the bowl, handed the empty bowl to his wife, and then said: "The wolves and wild boars in the back may run out from time to time."
Li Long nodded to express his understanding.
Thinking about it, only such a big guy can force those wolves to run away from the mountain.
The brown bear, which has grown to weigh nearly a ton, is not afraid even if it faces a small pack of wolves, and can win.
Not to mention this is an angry brown bear that was awakened from hibernation.
Not to mention bears, even if a person is disturbed while they are sleeping soundly, they will also get very angry.
"Where did the bear go in the end?" Li Long asked.
"After we learned about this incident, we took guns and found a few more people to go there and take a look. The prints of the bear's paws were heading to the west, and they should have been chasing wolves. The rear paw prints were pressed by the hooves of a group of wild boars. After that, I don’t know.”
Harimu shook his head and said:
"We are also afraid of such a big guy. As long as it doesn't harass our sheep, we don't want to provoke it."
This is a common thought among herdsmen. Who would want to have sex with a big guy who is as lethal as a tank?
After all, they are just herders, not real hunters.
I think after experiencing this incident, Talihar is no longer so obsessed with the idea of becoming a hunter, right?
That's fine too. Being a hunter in this mountain is far less safe than being a herdsman.
The Tianshan Mountains are 600 kilometers wide and thousands of kilometers long. In such a large mountain range, except for the inhabited area of the Ili River Valley, the rest of the area is almost inaccessible. It is a paradise for wild animals.
It is normal for you to hunt and be beaten by the prey in the end.
After all, there are groups of wild boars, groups of gray wolves, solitary bears, newly discovered northern Xinjiang tigers, and lynxes...
etc.
There are too many things that can kill people, but there are very few people.
Of course, there are a lot of good things. In the past two years alone, Li Long had obtained such good things as caladium, jade and even nugget gold in the mountains.
The risks are too great and not suitable for ordinary people.
After sighing with Harimu, Li Long said:
"Those furniture are only part of it. I will pull the remaining part over tomorrow. If you are okay, just give them a notice and you can come over tomorrow to take the furniture away. Whoever registered it in the first place will belong to it. Of course, if there are any If necessary, you can continue to order.”
Li Long sincerely hopes that these herdsmen friends can live a good life, and if he can play his own small role in this, he will be super happy. (End of chapter)
