Chapter 202 Sticky Bird Net
It was just after noon.
After Chen Ling had lunch, he drove back with a tractor filled with building materials.
Unexpectedly, when we passed the boundary of Wangba City and passed through the mountain pass section of Kuliu County, a large group of people blocked the road.
This was a group of villagers, about twenty or so people, men, women and children. They all waved shovels and rakes in their hands and surrounded the tractor. They yelled at Chen Ling and forced him to stop.
This section of road is already difficult to walk, and the tractor cannot move quickly.
Moreover, at this time, the intersection ahead was blocked by boulders and tree trunks, and Chen Ling couldn't even step on the accelerator and rush over.
"What a bad luck."
Chen Ling cursed secretly and had to stop the tractor.
"Which county are you from? Don't you know that the newly built road here doesn't allow cars to pass through? Come down quickly and destroy our roads..."
A skinny old man cursed so hard that he almost hit Chen Ling in the face with a shovel.
"The road is broken? Where is it broken? You don't have any road repairs here."
Chen Ling frowned, pretending not to know.
In fact, as he said these words, one hand had quietly reached to the tool box under the seat.
"I said if you broke it, you would break it. What did you say to your mother? Come down and pay for it."
"Don't even think about going there today without losing money."
The two young men behind the old man stared and cursed fiercely.
Several women and young men also yelled viciously, "Get down quickly, or I'll beat you to death if you don't come down."
There were also two other boys, about sixteen or seventeen years old, who were already Stepping on the tractor's connecting rod, he reached out to pull Chen Ling's bag.
However, as soon as the two boys touched the bag on the back of Chen Ling's seat, one boy's expression suddenly changed and he shouted: "Master, beat him quickly, he is taking something out."
As soon as he shouted these words, before anyone else could react, Chen Ling turned around and swung the two thieves hard with his arm.
At this time, his other hand had pulled out a shotgun from under the tool box, and without saying a word, he shot the nearest old man.
The old man screamed and fell to the ground with a bang.
"The men from Male Gobi are still carrying guns. Even if they have guns, they will still kill you. You can't leave today."
This group of bandit-like guys is now angry. , I don’t know which county the villagers were from. The men, women, and children all looked barbaric and ferocious. They all had red eyes and held various farm tools to greet Chen Ling.
He was smart and wanted to knock the gun out of his hand when he came up.
Chen Ling didn't even try to hide when he saw this. He jumped off the tractor and pounced into the crowd of women and boys on the left.
These women and young men were not strong enough. He protected their heads and faces and rushed at them, kicking them until they rolled all over the floor.
Kicked the women until they howled like ghosts.
Being nourished by the cave sky all day long, Chen Ling is very strong and has rough skin and thick flesh. He can withstand a few beatings.
Especially now that I am in danger, my whole body starts to heat up, like a machine that is gradually turning on, and my body reacts faster than my brain.
Wait for the men in front and on the right to rush over and beat him.
He was not in a hurry. He stepped on the wheels of the tractor and stepped onto the building materials piled high in the truck bed in two or three steps.
“I’m a bully to your ancestors.”
Chen Ling was so angry that he cursed.
But no matter how good he is alone, he can't withstand more than twenty people.
And there are still people holding machetes, and some are picking up rocks and throwing them at him.
So we have to rely on guns.
This gun is the single-barreled shotgun that Hei Wa took back. It has five rounds. I wonder where Chen Erzhu got the good shotgun.
After Chen Erzhu and others were taken away, he never took them out and kept them in the cave for later use.
It's easy to get some bullets these days, so there's plenty of them.
So at this time, I held up my shotgun and hit these bandit road tyrants.
He was more accurate with his marksmanship, so he waved to their legs.
Every time after five bullets are fired, he squats down to avoid the large and small rocks flying over and refills the bullets.
After three or four shots from the shotgun, these people were frightened.
Chen Ling was not injured, but they all fell down, and their legs were basically injured.
This means that they don’t want their lives.
Otherwise, if this accurate shooter hits their heads, none of them will be able to dodge.
For a moment, his face turned ugly.
“Mom, the guy next door is a tough guy, let’s go.”
"You can leave if you want. Each person pays me 200 yuan. Otherwise, even if I don't kill you, I can also maim you."
Chen Ling stood on the tall tractor bed. , raised the gun and continued to aim downward.
"If you want money or a life, if you can, beat us all to death."
A man who was shot in the leg and lying on the ground shouted.
I'm covered in cold sweat and I'm still saying harsh words. I'm really so poor.
"If you can't afford two hundred each, the most we can give you is twenty."
An old man bargained at this time.
"Twenty? Are you sending beggars away? Okay, okay, I'm too lazy to argue with you. You must have robbed more than one of me. Why don't you pretend to have no money here? If you don't pay, I'll do it myself. Get it back."
Chen Ling jumped off the side of the truck and pointed his gun at the young man, ready to hit him.
“No, we didn’t bring that much, so we collected a thousand and eighty yuan at night. Do you think that’s okay?”
The old man relented. No matter how vicious and arrogant he was, he still cared about his descendants.
"One thousand and eighty is one thousand and eighty..."
"Put down the money and get out."
Wait for these people to put down the money and take the wounded with them. After leaving, Chen Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
His way of thinking is greatly affected by parallel time and space, and deep down in his heart, he does not want to hurt people's lives.
But I don’t want to shrink my head and be a coward to be slaughtered.
So the most we can do is this step.
Chen Ling touched the area where he was hit by stones and where his arm was hit by a shovel. Although it didn't hurt much, Chen Ling was still a little depressed.
"Damn it, no wonder they say that car gangsters and road bullies deserve to be beaten to death. They are really like a bunch of vicious dogs."
If I meet such a person in a few years, it will be considered true. It's okay to beat him to death, and some places even give out rewards.
It’s because these people have no bottom line and what they do goes too far.
......
I don’t know if this is the only village nearby that is a road bully, or I know that Chen Ling is not easy to mess with.
In the next few days, Chen Ling made four or five trips back and forth, all of which went very smoothly, and all the required building materials were shipped.
Stone, bricks, cement, glass, etc.
In fact, there are not many places to use these. It is enough to pull them back and forth seven or eight times.
And every time he transports it, Dongtian will also put two cars on it, three times in one trip. These things are more than enough for use.
The main things needed are wood and bamboo.
There are these caves, and as early as when his family was building a house, he would get into the caves to prepare every day when he had nothing to do.
With the remaining ones from the two-post covered greenhouse, it will definitely be enough.
So Chen Ling spent the remaining days using his tractor to tinker with wood and bamboo.
There are many lumber factories in the east of the county.
This guy makes four or five trips every day, and others just think that he is brought back from the county town.
After two days of continuous transportation, the wood and bamboo were piled up in the open space to the west of the orchard.
Actually, the tractors are not loaded too much in each trip, that is, when no one is paying attention, Chen Ling will transport large quantities from the cave to the outside world, so he took his time these two days, playing and working at the same time.
During this period, there was a fair in the county town, and I bought three large-sized sticky bird nets. Because the ground trap failed to trap wild pigeons, only a few mountain birds were trapped.
Chen Ling decided to try the sticky bird net.
Building materials and other things are now piled up here in the orchard, and he wants to watch them from here.
Although the items are heavy and it is impossible to steal much, he is afraid that someone will cause trouble and set fire to something, and his work these days will be in vain.
I couldn’t just watch it here, it would be too boring, so I bought a sticky bird net to play with.
For these three sticky bird nets, Chen Ling chose the largest model available, which can be stretched nearly 20 meters. The bird nets are very light and thin, and the mesh is small, which is still very good.
......
The light snow has passed for a few days, and the winter solstice of heavy snow is getting closer. It is very cold to spend the night in the mountains at this time.
So after Chen Ling built a simple thatched shed at the foot of the mountain, he also moved a stove to boil water and keep warm.
These days, he sleeps here at night, with his two dogs following him.
Perhaps knowing that these things need to be watched, I let them go home during the day, but they were not very willing to go back.
The native dogs in the village will also come running during the day.
The two of them often lead a large group of dogs to have fun in the nearby fields.
When others see it, they don’t dare to come near.
This morning, he just bought the sticky bird nets. He put each net on two long bamboo poles, just like curtains. The buttons were put together first, and then unfolded.
After finishing it, I took the bamboo pole and prepared to find a place to prop it up.
As soon as he reached the edge of the field, Wang Jusheng and Wang Lixian came over and called him on the dirt road outside the orchard.
Recently, they often come to visit. A few days ago, Wang Lixian knew that he was going to Wangba City, and even wanted to follow Chen Ling to help him escort the car.
Maybe he knows that troubles can easily happen on the road.
But Chen Ling didn't let him go.
Wang Jusheng had a rest today. He didn’t have to go to work in the countryside and had nothing to do at home. The two of them came over early in the morning.
When I saw Chen Ling making bird netting, I came over to help.
"The old tomb has been moved, and there is nothing in the south. With such a large open space, wouldn't it be enough to just prop up the net there?"
Wang Lixian said.
Chen Ling was a little hesitant: "There are no trees blocking the way, and people are so close. Do wild pigeons dare to fall to the ground?"
Wang Lixian smiled: "Hey, try spreading some food on the ground first. Well, when we caught wild pigeons in the past, we used a sieve to catch wild pigeons. We swept a piece of clean land in the snow, sprinkled some corn grits, and caught them accurately. I have never used this bird net. After all, you are still the best. "
"Brother Xian, you are right, he spent dozens of dollars on a fishing rod, which is not high-end."
Wang Jusheng said vaguely.
In his hand, he held the two roasted sweet potatoes left by Chen Ling and stuffed them into his mouth.
Chen Ling didn't care about their teasing. He just looked at Wang Jusheng and said, "Brother Jusheng, aren't these sweet potatoes cold? They've been left out all night. Why don't you put the stove on to warm them up?"
Wang Jusheng hehehe Yixiao: "It's okay. I've been feeling angry for the past two days and I can't poop. I'll take something cold to relieve my stress."
"Good guy, you..."
Chen Ling suddenly frowned.
Wang Lixian couldn't help laughing.
"Fugui, if you start work at the beginning of next month, you can only work for a month. It's the twelfth lunar month and there are a lot of snowy days. How can you still do it?"
"No, we can rest during the twelfth lunar month. It's the end of the year, how can we still do it?"
"Oh, that's just right, Sinier is getting engaged in the twelfth lunar month, and you and Jusheng will come over to have a lot of fun."
"Okay, tell me. Fortunately, one of my brothers is getting married in the twelfth lunar month. Don’t let us bump into each other.”
"It's the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, that's okay."
Chen Ling shook his head, Han Chuang got married on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month.
The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is the Little New Year, and it is a very auspicious day to get married on this day.
Of course, the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month chosen by Wang Li as a gift to her family, Si Nier, was also a good day.
In the past, in the early days of the twelfth lunar month, the Xie family came to your home.
There are also more engagements and marriages on this day.
"That's fine. Jusheng is here. Are you okay on the seventh day of the new year?"
"It's okay. I've always been fine. We don't know as many people as Fugui. He On the day when he accompanied his wife back from her parents' home, while having lunch in the countryside, four or five acquaintances talked to him. I can't compare with him. I have a lot of leisure in the twelfth lunar month..."
Wang Jusheng put the last words He stuffed the sweet potato tips into his mouth, clapped his hands, and was about to ask Wang Lixian's family where Sinier was from her husband's family.
The two dogs barked and ran out.
He stood on tiptoe, looked at it, and smiled at Chen Ling: "It's Su Su who is here to bring you food."
"You guys have been so comfortable recently that you haven't even finished cooking."
Chen Ling knew that he was joking on purpose, so he ignored him and walked towards his wife.
"Brother Xian and Brother Jusheng are both here. I fried some walnut cakes. Sit down and eat some."
Wang Susu came over with a basket.
There are steamed eggs, steamed buns, pickles, and fried pecans in the basket.
"No, no, we just came here after breakfast, just to have some fun with Fugui."
The two of them waved their hands quickly.
Then he squatted next to him and played with the dog without disturbing the young couple.
“Brother Xian, have you finished playing cotton?”
Wang Susu asked after Chen Ling finished breakfast.
“Not yet, I guess I’ll have to play for a long time today.”
Wang Lixian’s family will prepare new cotton for their fourth daughter this year, and they will have to make several beds of new cotton when they get married next year. Quilts are all used for dowry.
In addition, I still have his old quilt, so I haven’t finished playing it for more than two days.
With a big wooden bow, a skilled cotton player can make at most ten kilograms of cotton a day, while an ordinary cotton player can only make about five or six kilograms, which is not too slow.
The two cotton players from Goge Camp have been playing cotton in Chenwangzhuang for almost half a month, and they have only played half of the village.
"Okay, we will have to wait a few more days."
Wang Susu is not in a hurry. She just has nothing to do at home these days, so she takes out the hardened old cotton tires. It was torn apart in advance and cut into pieces to make it easier to play. If the two playmakers came early, they could finish it in one morning.
It took almost half a month to get to Wang Lixian. It would probably take a few more days to get to them.
Then he and Chen Ling fed the dogs.
There is not only a stove, but also a kettle and a pot, but this pot is for dogs to cook.
They have been protecting the family since they were young. They are willing to stay here and watch. They cannot be allowed to get cold or hungry.
Pork paste, cabbage leaves, rape seedlings, mixed with lard, a little salt, cooked in a large pot, steaming.
After it cools down a little, pour it into their two rice bowls. In each rice bowl, add two raw eggs. This is the breakfast for the two dogs.
Watching the two dogs wolfing down their meal.
Wang Lixian suddenly sighed: "In the final analysis, it is better to know more people. Like this year, Shui Wa and Yu Qiang, the young ones, have all gone out to work. They will have to work for at least three months. By the end of the twelfth lunar month, You can't come back until now."
"If you don't know anyone in the city, you won't be able to ask for help."
"People who work like me will be given this year. You can't gather a few."
Chen Ling shook his head: "Oh, this is actually a coincidence."
He knew that Wang Lixian was going to come to help him.
The three of them have a good relationship, but Chen Ling is looking for the city's engineering team, which has machines and everything. They don't know what they can do to help, and they are afraid of causing trouble, so they never say anything.
"Brother Xian, if you and Brother Jusheng have nothing to do next month, come over and help me for a few days. I don't know anything about building houses and factories. Brother Xian, are you right? If you are familiar with this, you can help me keep an eye on it and be a supervisor."
"Brother Jusheng, when you are not at work and have nothing to do, come over here and take a look. I don’t need your help, otherwise our family will be too busy.”
When the two heard this, they smiled and agreed.
