Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

When Li Long and Sun Jiaqiang were having dinner, he asked a question:
"Xiao Sun, how many days have you lived here?"

"Let me calculate." Sun Jiaqiang swallowed the food in his mouth, then thought for a while and said, "It has been... four days. I entered the mountain at noon four days ago and came straight here. I thought maybe you had opened the door. If you did, I would go straight to you.

It turns out that the door is not open, so I can only live in the shed... but it's not bad, it's better than the dugout."

"Are there no wolves at night?" Li Long asked again, "There are many wild animals around here, it's quite dangerous."

The straight-line distance from the hot spring ditch to here is no more than three kilometers. If the brown bear can run there, it is likely that it can also run here.

Moreover, when Li Long lived there before, there were many wolves at night.

"Yes, I heard wolves howling. Not only that, but a group of wild boars rumbled over in the middle of the night, and rumbled back when it was almost dawn, and went into the mountains."

"Then what are you going to do? Wolves are cunning and ferocious, aren't you afraid?"

"I am afraid, but I also have ways to deal with them." Sun Jiaqiang pointed to the front of the shed with his chopsticks and said:

"Before going to bed at night, I would just light a fire there. Wood burns slowly, so it can warm me up and scare away wild animals at the same time. To be honest, wolves, wild boars and the like would not come near the fire. I have not spent the past two years in the mountains in vain!"

After he said that, Li Long understood. He looked in front of the shed and smiled:
"Did you wait until daybreak to clean up the ashes? I didn't notice it when I came here. If I don't look carefully now, I can't see the marks on it."

"Yeah. I thought it would not look good if there was a pile of dust..." Sun Jiaqiang smiled and said, "This is your house after all. I am already taking advantage of you by staying here. If I mess it up again, that won't do."

Okay, overall, judging from his behavior, this person is reliable.

Even if all this was done for Li Long to see, it was about actions rather than intentions. At least they had the intention.

"By the way, you said that there were groups of wild boars running over there at night. Where did they run to?" Li Long thought of another thing.

"Over there." Sun Jiaqiang stuffed a piece of naan into his mouth and pointed to the west. "Wild boars came out from the southeast woods in a group, more than 20 of them, big and small. They ran over there, probably looking for food, and then ran back to the woods when it was almost dawn."

"Did you run over there this morning?"

"Yes, they run around every day. These wild boars seem to have become accustomed to it. The largest one must be two or three hundred kilograms, and their teeth are so long - I dare not leave the shed. Fortunately, I am not in the limelight here, so they didn't notice me."

Sun Jiaqiang thought that those wild boars looked ferocious, and if a group of them really rushed over, he would not be able to resist them at all.

By then, not to mention myself, even this wooden shed will probably be torn down by the wild boar.

This wooden house might be more stable, no problem.

Think more.

Li Long wondered if he should come earlier, then ambush the wild boar and kill one first.

After all, both the eldest brother and I need meat supplements - since we have lowered the price of the boss, we can at least give them more adequate food.

There are many things in the mountains, and it is beneficial to supplement more.

Li Long felt that this was settled.

After dinner, Li Long took Sun Jiaqiang to see the supplies and told them which supplies to exchange for how many Fritillaria.

Sun Jiaqiang worked with Li Long last year, and I vaguely remember that now we just need to strengthen our work.

This year, Li Long raised the exchange price a little bit. He planned to come over in two days to deliver a batch of supplies, and at the same time take back the Fritillaria that Sun Jiaqiang had exchanged, and see if he could find Bolati.

After all, a big part of the reason why he made so much money last year was because of Bolati. As a forest ranger, the people who were caught digging Fritillaria and the Fritillaria he confiscated were basically all transferred to Li Long.

Li Long still owes him money.

"Keep this knife with you. If those people come to exchange for the Fritillaria, you have to be careful, especially if two or three of them come together. Be careful not to be robbed by them. If you really run into a tough guy, then saving your life is the most important thing, understand? If your things are robbed, they are just your belongings. Life is the most important thing!"

Li Long reminded Sun Jiaqiang of the precautions. He could not show weakness when opening a store, but he could not risk his life when he met those who were willing to risk their lives. He intended to train Sun Jiaqiang, not to let him risk his life.

"I understand." Sun Jiaqiang nodded seriously. This boss is worth following. At least he is not the kind of person who loves money. It's my own choice. Right.

After Li Long settled the place, he drove the jeep to Xiaobaiyanggou. He thought that his elder brother and his men should come today. Even if they didn't, he could go and take a look. After all, this was an old base, and the dugout was ready. Don't let others take it.

When Li Long arrived at Xiaobaiyanggou, he saw Li Jianguo and others arguing with others.

There are three tractors and about ten people here, holding sickles, machetes and other things in their hands.

There were seven men over there, one of them had a shotgun, and the rest were armed with sticks, knives and whatnot.

When Li Long's jeep arrived, the four teams led by Li Jianguo and Xie Yundong were trying to reason with the other side, but the other side obviously had no intention of reasoning.

Although they were few in number, they were fearless because they had the shotgun.

"We occupied this place first. Don't tell me you were here last year. So what? Do you own this forest? Do you own this ravine? Everything has a first come first served order. Since we have occupied this place, it is ours now. Go ahead! Otherwise, my sand gun bullets will not have eyes!"

The man holding the shotgun didn't say anything, but the tall man next to him spoke. He seemed to be the leader of the group, and when he spoke, the others nodded.

"Who are you trying to scare?" Xu Feihu shouted at the side: "Your broken gun only has two bullets, how many people can you shoot? There are so many of us, why don't you try to shoot? If you dare to shoot, we can smash you to pieces!"

"Why don't you try the first shot?" The man holding the gun sneered and turned the gun towards Xu Feihu.

Xu Feihu subconsciously took two steps back, and the seven people over there burst into laughter.

Xu Feihu was so angry that he impulsively rushed forward, but was stopped by Xu Haijun.

The two sides were at a stalemate.

The terrain of Xiaobaiyanggou is relatively flat, with ready-made dugouts and many small ditches nearby. Eighty percent of these ditches contain Fritillaria, so it is a very good location for those who dig Fritillaria.

Of course, for Li Jianguo and his team, this is also a good location. There are many trees that can be cut into strips in Xiaobaiyanggou, and it would be much easier to weave the strips here.

Just when they were in a stalemate, Li Long's jeep arrived.

Seeing the jeep, the other party was a little panicked. They were not stupid. Those who could drive a jeep here were probably not minor officials. It was illegal for them to come here to dig Fritillaria. When the forestry team was established three years ago, private digging of Fritillaria was banned.

Otherwise, why would Li Jianguo and his gang make up such a story? Wouldn't it be more profitable to dig for Fritillaria?

After seeing the jeep, the people who were in charge of the group suddenly felt more confident.

In fact, it is only in the past two years that living conditions have improved, and everyone has no worries about food and drink, and can even have a drink from time to time, so the blood and vigor that they had when they were poor are gone.

There are many things to consider at this time. I always feel that I already have such a good life, there is no need to play the hero anymore. I am not a green hand with no capital.

If this happened a few years ago, let alone you holding a sand gun, even if each person on the opposite side had one, they would not be afraid.

Just go for it - those sand guns mostly use lead bullets, which can't kill them in one shot, but the sickles here can chop the enemy into pieces.

Of course, if there are too many people, they will be divided. There are three tractors and three people bringing them here. Who should they listen to?
Li Jianguo didn't want to cause trouble - the main reason for this was to help his younger brother Li Longba. With so many people coming, if one or two were missing when they really went back, how would he explain to the team members?

Too many concerns.

However, as soon as Li Long arrived, the team's morale suddenly changed, and those who were hesitant just now suddenly became determined.

No matter who these three tractors belong to, they all work for Li Long. Li Long is not a timid person and he is responsible, so they know that when Li Long comes, there will definitely be a solution.

"Hey, here comes the little dragon!"

"It's good that he's here. He will definitely be able to take care of these guys!"

"He's carrying a gun..." Someone was also worried. "You don't know, right? When did Xiaolong go into the mountains without a gun? Just wait and see!"

Li Long saw what was going on when he got out of the car. He didn't say much. He took the gun bag containing five or six half guns from the back seat, took out five or six half guns, threw the gun bag on the seat, and walked forward while taking off the safety, pulling the bolt, and loading the bullet.

Sand gun?

In front of five or six and a half, he is just a younger brother!
"What do you want to do?" Li Long walked to the front with a gun in hand and shouted at those people, "Are you guys digging for Fritillaria? You are doing something sneaky and acting like a landlord? Put down your guns!"

The man holding the sand gun looked at his boss and hesitated.

"What do you do?" The big guy in the lead noticed that Li Long didn't look like a leader, but rather seemed to be in the same group as those tractor drivers.

He also noticed from the way other people looked at Li Long that these people must know Li Long—they were together!

This young man doesn't look like a leader. As for how he got the jeep, it's hard to say - but now he can't be weak in momentum.

It was not easy to bring these seven people from three places together. If these people were forced to retreat, although he could still be the boss, his prestige would definitely be gone.

So the big guy did not retreat. He reached out and took the sand gun from the person next to him, held it up and prepared to aim at Li Long... He was not afraid!
"Bang!" Li Long raised his hand and shot him at the feet!
"What do I do? I'm a forest ranger!" Li Long shouted, "I now suspect that you are illegally digging for Fritillaria. Throw away what you have in your hands, or I will kill you!"

The big guy was startled by Li Long's shot. He stepped back a few steps, but he was reluctant to throw away the gun in his hand. He knew very well that if he threw away the gun, he and his men would be captured.

"You said you were a forest ranger. Show me the evidence!" the big guy said stiffly. "Don't think you can scare us with a gun. I tell you, we are not scared. How many bullets can you have in your gun..."

"Ten shots, I just fired one, I still have nine. My marksmanship is OK within ten meters." Li Long held his gun and confronted the other party, not afraid at all, "Let's see which is faster, your sand gun or my rifle... Put the gun down! I'll count to three. If you don't put it down, don't blame me for being rude!"

After saying that, Li Long aimed at the big guy's chest. He really dared to shoot.

It's not just because these people occupied the dugout of Li Jianguo and his men, but more importantly, they dared to threaten the people in the mountains, which shows that they have plans to join forces to do bad things.

If they come across someone like Sun Jiaqiang who is alone, these people will definitely snatch him away.

Li Long would never let this happen.

The big guy hesitated, his hand holding the gun shaking.

"Three, two, one!"

Li Long counted down to three, and seeing that the big guy was still holding the gun, he shot him in the calf without any hesitation!
"Ah!" The big guy threw away his gun and fell to the ground, holding his calf and wailing.

The others immediately dropped what they were holding and squatted down with their heads in their hands.

This guy actually dared to shoot!
"You, go bandage him up, don't let him bleed to death!" Li Long pointed at the man holding the sand gun and said, "Come here and tell me about your recent situation. You robbed a lot of people, right?"

"No...no..."

How could the people who were pointed at by Li Long with a gun dare to say anything? If they really said that their group had robbed others, what would they do if they were beaten?
"You'd better tell the truth. There are several people here. If you don't tell the truth, someone will tell the truth," Li Long said coldly. "Then you can wait to be punished!"

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you... I came here to stay the day before yesterday. In the past three days, I have robbed five people. The Fritillaria and other things I robbed are all in the dugout... There was also a woman..."

Depend on!
Li Long didn't expect these people to be so cruel!
He turned his head and looked. Xu Haijun reacted the fastest and led Xu Dejun to the dugout, saying as they walked:

"I'll go rescue them!"

"Okay." Li Long responded and continued the interrogation.

The seven people were originally divided into three groups of two, two, and three, but the big guy brought them together. The sand gun belonged to the big guy's younger brother, and it was in Li Jianguo's hand at this time. He checked the gun and found two single-headed bullets in it.

"These guys are really not afraid of causing death!" Li Jianguo sighed. The caliber of a single-barreled bullet is much larger than that of a 56.5mm bullet. If a bullet hits a person at such a close distance, it is guaranteed to be the end of him.

Xu Haijun and his men rescued the woman who was tied up in the dugout. She was a woman in her thirties, a little thin, with ropes tied around her hands and the towel in her mouth had just been taken off by Xu Haijun.

The woman didn't cry. She looked at the big guy who had just been bandaged, her eyes full of hatred.

"Go pick up your stuff." Li Long pointed to the dugout where these people put the stolen things.

The woman struggled to stand up, staggered over, and found her bag and a fertilizer bag containing two or three kilograms of Fritillaria in the dugout.

After finding these two things, the woman found a stick to lean on and asked Li Long:
"What do you do?"

“I’m a ranger.”

The woman showed a trace of panic on her face. It was obvious that she knew what the forest rangers did and that what she was doing was illegal.

"You can go now." Li Long saw her worry and said, "There are many wild animals and bad guys in the mountains, so be careful."

The woman took out a steamed bread from her bag and took a bite. She walked forward with the help of a stick. When she came to the squatting men, she suddenly raised the stick and hit one of them hard a few times. Then she left in a hurry, leaving only the guy holding his head and screaming.

This woman is ruthless enough.

"Okay, take out their stuff and put it in my jeep." Li Long said, "We'll send these people to the forestry team later." If they were just ordinary people digging for Fritillaria, Li Long would not bother to care.

But these people have already started to rob people and things, which is a big deal and has to be left to Bolati and the others.

Xu Haijun and his men responded and searched out bedding, looted Fritillaria, packages and other items from several dugouts.

Li Long took a quick look and saw that there were more than two bags of Fritillaria alone.

Although they are fresh Fritillaria, they must weigh nearly 100 kilograms - these people are really fierce in snatching them.

"Alright, alright, the problem is solved. Everyone, clean up your own dugouts quickly. Old Huang is getting ready to cook." Xie Yundong shouted, "Navy, the rest of you help Xiaolong keep an eye on them. Don't let these bad guys get away."

Xu Haijun answered with the sickle in hand, and Li Jianguo handed him the double-barreled sand gun:
"Navy, take this and beat anyone who dares to move it."

"Okay, Uncle Li." Although Xu Haijun dared to treat Li Long as an equal, he did not dare to call Li Jianguo "brother", otherwise he would be scolded by his father.

Li Long took a careful look and found that there were no antiques or anything like that among the things these people had robbed. It seemed that they had not come across anything good in the mountains and were only digging for Fritillaria.

Just when I was thinking about whether to use a tractor to pull the people away, I heard the sound of horse hooves at the mouth of the ditch.

When Li Long turned around, he found that it was Bolati and two other horsemen. The three of them came here at a trot on their horses.

After seeing Li Long, Bolati, who was holding a gun, breathed a sigh of relief, came over and shook hands with Li Long with a smile, and asked after saying hello:
"What's wrong with these people?"

"I brought these here. They are the ones who helped to carry the weapons." Li Long gestured to his elder brother and the others with his hands, then pointed to the injured big guy and the other six people and said, "The six of them went into the mountains to dig for Fritillaria and robbed others of their belongings. They also kidnapped a woman, and we just let that woman go."

"What? Robbery?" Bolati was also shocked. They were forest rangers, and they had some law enforcement power against people digging for Fritillaria, but most of them were digging for Fritillaria, so how could they rob people with guns?
This is a big case!

"Those are the guns we seized from them," Li Long said. "Here are their things."

Xu Haijun took the sand gun reluctantly.

This was a big case, so Li Long handed over all the fritillaria.

It’s better not to touch this stuff.

Bolati looked at his two companions and said:
"Li Long, thank you. If it weren't for you, this matter might have ended in death if it had continued for a few more days... We took the people and the things away."

When Bolati was loading his things, he also carried the sand gun on his back and put the small packages on the horse. The big guy among the seven people had a leg injury, so he had to be carried and put on the horse.

Bolati deliberately left out a bag of Fritillaria, and Li Long didn't say anything.
