Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

Li Long had not returned from returning the tractor, so Meng Hai and his team were doing relatively well in the winter camp in Talihar. After finishing work in the afternoon, seeing that there was still time, Li Xiangqian pointed out the direction and asked them to take their tools and materials to Buick's winter camp.

The food is good, the pay is good, and they can take some meat back home. Meng Hai and his friends are honest and think that the remaining time should not be wasted, so they should work harder.

People who are cunning and treacherous usually slack off at this time, but Meng Hai and his men won't. As Meng Hai said to a few people privately, the host treats us well and treats us well in all aspects, so we can't do such immoral things.

Li Xiangqian also started moving things forward, saying as he did so:

"Let me tell you, Li Long must have gone hunting, and he will definitely be able to bring back some meat today - even if he can't, there will definitely be meat for dinner."

"Director Li, are you so confident in Li Long?" Ma Xiaoyan asked breathlessly.

"Of course, how could I not know the people under my command?" Li Xiangqian paused, let out a long breath, wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "Let me tell you, this Li Long is smart and has ideas for any job, but he is a little lazy and doesn't like to do physical work.

It's impossible for you to ask him to work with us honestly. He will definitely come up with different ideas for you. But to be honest, I have never seen anyone smarter than him."

Li Xiangqian said this not just to praise Li Long, but because he had real experience.

When I first met Li Long, he was still selling sheep from the mountains. At that time, I simply rejected him - of course, it can be said that there is no acquaintance without fighting.

Later, he asked him to take Director Qian to hunt yellow sheep. What did Li Long do at that time? Li Xiangqian didn't think much of him.

After all, how could the section chief of the supply and marketing cooperative take a fancy to a middleman?
But I didn't expect that in just these three or four years, Li Long had grown step by step from the perspective of looking down on him to where he is now——

Let's not say that Li Xiangqian now looks up to him. In fact, he already regards Li Long as his peer. He can drive the jeep that he doesn't drive. Director Qian was originally his old superior, but now he feels that he is closer to Li Long than himself.

Of course, Li Long used his connections to get a lot of work in the supply and marketing cooperative and earned a lot of money, but if he didn't have the brains and the ability, he would have definitely messed up these jobs.

After all, these tasks were assigned to many people in the past, and the result was that there were many things to clean up after these tasks every year.

It can be said that he helped Li Long with these tasks, and Li Long also helped him.

Which of these leaders who had contact with Li Long did not praise him? Director Qian was not mentioned. When Director Wei left, he was still talking about how convenient it would be to do things if he had a Li Long under his command in Beiting City!
That's why Li Xiangqian praised Li Long here, because he deserves praise.

I heard that Li Long went hunting, but Meng Hai was fine. The people working were still very happy. Yesterday we had two meals of venison, but today we had dry naan and pickles for lunch. The difference was quite big.

If Li Long goes hunting, can he have a delicious meal in the evening?
"We would rather Comrade Li go hunting every day." A brave villager said with a smile, "Even if we can bring back meat every day, we would be satisfied if we can bring back meat every two or three days!"

A four or five kilogram yellow goat leg is worth at least six or seven yuan, right? Adding the good lunch, the day's wages should be about twenty yuan, right?
No worse than the one who made up the story!

As they were talking, they arrived at the Buick family's winter home.

According to Meng Hai and his colleagues' idea, they would remove the roof of the winter den today, finish the remaining work tomorrow morning, and then move to the next winter den.

However, when they arrived, they found that someone was living there.

A young man was collecting water from the pipe with a basin. When he saw Meng Hai and the others coming, he screamed and ran back with the basin.

Meng Hai and the others were also stunned, not knowing what to do.

They also don't know whether the people living here are the original owners of this winter nest.

Li Xiangqian reacted quickly. He immediately understood that these must be people from the mainland who came into the mountains to collect Fritillaria herbs. They did not dig their own caves, but directly occupied this winter cave.

After all, this winter nest has a door and a roof, and there is a wooden kang inside. Isn't it more comfortable to live in than a dugout or a cave?
Besides, in this deep mountain, forest rangers usually don’t come here, so it’s very safe.

Li Xiang had a lot of thoughts in his mind. He felt that he couldn't anger these people, after all, there were two newly renovated winter houses over there. What if he angered these people and they destroyed the two winter houses? Wouldn't all his work be in vain?
While he was still thinking of a countermeasure, four or five people suddenly came out of the winter den over there, each holding a knife, stick or something like that. They stood guard at the door and confronted Li Xiangqian and the others.

Meng Hai and the others also raised their tools and stood on guard.

Li Xiangqian hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, don't worry. You guys are here to collect herbs, right? We're not forest rangers. I'm a friend of the original owner of this winter's nest. While they're moving, I'm here to renovate their winter's nest..."

"Really?" The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a gray Zhongshan suit, a Mediterranean hairstyle, a white face and no beard. He looked a bit gentle, but his eyes were flickering, and he didn't look like a serious person.

As he spoke, he habitually stroked his few remaining hairs and asked cautiously and puzzledly:
"This winter home is quite solid, does it need to be renovated? I'm telling you, don't bluff us, we still have seven or eight people who have gone out and will be back soon... We will definitely stay in this winter home and won't move out."

"No..." Li Xiangqian was about to say that there was no need to move, just let them renovate it.

However, before he could finish his words, Ma Xiaoyan spoke up from behind:

"Why don't you move? This isn't your place. Besides, if you don't move, how can we renovate it?"

Li Xiangqian sighed. This silly girl really didn’t know how treacherous people are and how fickle the world is. Never mind. This matter probably couldn’t be easily resolved.

"Why do you want to move? If you say it's your friend's, then it's your friend's?" The middle-aged man definitely didn't want to move. There were seven ditches nearby with Fritillaria. They used this winter nest as their base, so they didn't need to fight guerrilla warfare like other herbalists. The Fritillaria in these seven ditches could make them a lot of money this Fritillaria season!
"We are discussing this." Li Xiangqian did not want to resolve the situation by force. If he were ten years younger, he would have rushed forward with a shovel in his hand. But as the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, he had many things to consider, and according to the middle-aged man, they had other people outside, so he could not act rashly.

After all, if we take action now and knock these people down, what if we are ambushed halfway?
In the long run, if we knock these people out and then renovate this winter nest, what if some of them slip through the net and come to cause damage? Will we just leave this mess behind?
That's definitely not possible.

"No discussion!" Li Xiangqian's attitude was seen as weakness by the other party. The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "Let me tell you clearly, we will stay in this winter nest for at least one month and will not move. If you want to renovate it, you can, but let's talk about it in a month. When the Fritillaria season is over, we will leave and you can come back later."

He looked at Ma Xiaoyan in the crowd, then looked at Li Xiangqian, and suddenly smiled and said:
"Of course, you guys can come here to renovate the winter house, you must be rich, right? Give us one... no, five hundred dollars, and we'll move out. How's that? It's a good deal!"

"You are blackmailing me!" Ma Xiaoyan could no longer tolerate it. She has been working in a government office for many years. Even when she went to the countryside, there were people who received her and were very friendly. She had never met such a scoundrel before.

The middle-aged man smiled at her obscenely:
"Blackmail? How could it be blackmail? Didn't the guy just say that? We are negotiating. This is a negotiation. Since the negotiation fails, then you can leave. We won't move."

As they were talking, there was a commotion in the woods on the eastern hillside, and then five people came in, each carrying bags with tools for digging Fritillaria.

"Uncle, what are these people doing?" The leading man was quite strong, at least 1.9 meters tall, with messy hair and untidy beard, looking like a gorilla. After coming down, he asked the middle-aged man.

"They asked us to move out because they wanted to renovate this winter home." The middle-aged man replied.

"We won't move!" This big guy is called Guo Dali. He suffered a lot after following the middle-aged man into the mountains to collect herbs. He is not very smart. It is difficult for him to find caves that others can crawl into. He can only curl up in places where others can lie down and sleep. Even if he digs a hole in the ground, he has to dig a larger piece than others.

Now that he finally has a winter home where he can rest comfortably, he won't move.

Guo Dali is the nephew of the middle-aged man Nie Chengwei, and he is also the one who uses force to subdue these people.

As soon as Guo Dali and his group arrived, Nie Chengwei and his group immediately became arrogant - with their large numbers and the presence of a heavyweight like Guo Dali, they became even less fearful.

Li Xiangqian didn't want to fight, mainly because he didn't bring a gun, Li Long was not there, and there was a female officer, so he didn't have the upper hand!

At this moment, Li Long arrived.

"You don't want to move, right?" Li Long listened for a while and understood what happened. As he walked forward, he took a shovel from a worker, came to Li Xiangqian, and said to Nie Chengwei in a cold voice:
"I'm warning you, you'd better cooperate with our actions, otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"

In fact, Li Long wanted to follow Li Xiangqian's lead at first and stabilize these people first. These people are too mobile and vindictive. If they are really provoked and not all of them are caught, this winter den will be in trouble later.

But Ma Xiaoyan directly overturned this stable strategy, so he had to use force. "Who are you?" Nie Chengwei didn't expect a strong man to suddenly appear and suddenly become tough. He was a little uncomfortable, "Can you make the decision?"

Without waiting for Li Long to reply, he said to Li Xiangqian:

"You are the one in charge, right? These young men are unreliable. How can they interrupt when the adults are talking? You don't care about it?"

This is an extremely impolite statement, and it feels like it is stealing the show's place.

Li Long came, and Li Xiangqian was relieved. However, when he saw Li Long holding a shovel, he said with some dissatisfaction:
"Why don't you have a gun?"

"There's no need to deal with people like this." Li Long stuck the shovel into the ground and said to Nie Chengwei:
"I'm the boss here for now. It's not worthy for my leader to take care of it. You're stealing Fritillaria, right? Your crime has been exposed! Just drop what you have in your hands and surrender!"

After hearing what Li Long said, Nie Chengwei and others were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

"You look quite big, have you read too many novels? And you want us to surrender without a fight?" Nie Chengwei laughed a few times, pointed at Li Long and said loudly:

"Da Li, go and hold him down and teach him a lesson. Let him know who has the final say in this mountain!"

"Okay!" Guo Dali was the one who listened to his uncle the most. Looking at Li Long, who was shorter than him, he threw down the bag of mother-of-pearl, strode forward and was about to grab Li Long's shoulders, intending to make Li Long fall down.

The fight between the reckless people is basically the prototype of wrestling, with pulling and tugging.

Li Long looked at the big man coming over, and suddenly swung the shovel and hit the man's calf. Guo Dali screamed and knelt down on the spot!

Who is still here fighting you one-on-one?
Li Long wanted to end the battle quickly and capture all these people in one fell swoop!
When Guo Dali fell, Li Long shouted:

"Meng Hai, bring your men and don't let anyone go!"

Meng Hai, who used to be a militia captain, was already prepared when Li Long appeared and started talking. To catch a thief, one must catch the leader first. He stepped forward with a shovel and knocked Nie Chengwei down.

The remaining people reacted a little slower, but also faster than the other side - following Li Xiangqian and his team to work, these people were impeccable. Now being ridiculed by the other side, they couldn't stand it anymore. But in this situation, Li Long was not there, so Li Xiangqian was the one in charge, so they had to listen to Li Xiangqian.

But these strong laborers still like Li Long's style. Just do it. Why so much nonsense?
Guo Dali, who had the highest martial power, was knocked down by Li Long with a shovel. Nie Chengwei, the leader, was pinned down and tied up by Meng Hai. This group of people had no leader and could only deal with the situation passively. They wanted to leave but could not bear to leave behind the Fritillaria they had recently obtained and their belongings.

While they were hesitating, they were knocked down one by one - their fighting spirit was not high and they could not win.

Li Xiangqian didn't expect Li Long to be so fierce. He came over and knocked the man down directly.

Ma Xiaoyan even took a photo out of professional habit!
Li Long watched as these people were tied up one by one, and then Guo Dali was taken aside for interrogation.

He took out his work ID and waved it in front of the other person, taking advantage of the other person's poor brain function, and used both intimidation and threats. Then Guo Dali spoke.

There are only so many of them, no more.

Now Li Long felt relieved.

In fact, Li Long had no ill feelings towards people who collected herbs in the mountains. If Nie Chengwei and his people were more polite, then he would live here.

As a result, people like Nie Chengwei are greedy. Not only do they want to live here, they also want to control Li Xiangqian and others and threaten them for money.

Can you tolerate that?

"What should we do with these people?" Li Xiangqian asked.

"That's easy. We'll go down the mountain later and I'll take them to the forestry team. This is their business, so it's just right."

"What about their things..." Li Xiangqian asked.

"Hand them over together."

"Okay, good, you have principles." Li Xiangqian nodded. Li Long is very proactive and not greedy when it comes to major issues. He is a good talent.

It’s a pity that I don’t want to work in the system, it’s so free, what a pity.

Meng Hai and his friends didn't expect to solve this problem so easily. Of course, they also knew that this was mainly thanks to Li Long.

"Lao Meng, ask someone to follow me and take the people away. I'm going to take them to the forestry team. You guys come and help first. Tie up their belongings, mainly the bedding and the fritillaria we dug, and hang them around their necks. Yes, tie their hands in front, tie them tightly, and don't let them get loose in the middle."

Li Long arranged for these people to tie them up one by one. There were eleven people in total. The Fritillaria dug out here weighed more than 200 kilograms, some dried and some fresh. As for the bedding, it was much simpler, and there were a lot of odds and ends, but Li Long didn't care.

He just asked Meng Hai to search these people for dangerous items, such as knives, and not to cut the rope halfway.

There was one person who looked sad and said that he couldn't walk. Li Long hit him with a stick and he immediately became obedient.

Just follow me obediently - actually, this method of stringing people together with ropes and bringing them back was a bit inappropriate, but Li Long had no other choice at this time.

Who makes people less numerous? Who makes these people so arrogant?

"You guys go ahead and take off this hat, take out their things and put them in a pile, and bring them back when you come back. I shot some roe deer and am cooking them in my winter home in Yushan River. Let's go back and have a delicious meal!" Li Long finally responded and asked Li Xiangqian and Ma Xiaoyan to escort these people back with him.

When they were almost at Talihar's winter camp, someone suddenly shouted:

"I need to pee! Can you stop for a moment?"

"Pee in your pants." Li Long was unmoved, "Either hold it in, or just pee like this."

"That...that's not possible?" Seeing that Li Long was unmoved, the others who still had some ulterior motives gave up on those thoughts.

This guy is so cruel!

After resting for a while in the Talihar winter camp, Nie Chengwei and his companions looked at the newly renovated winter camp and realized that these people were really working on it.

Nie Chengwei regretted it very much. If he had known earlier, he should have agreed to the other party. If he had agreed, his group would not have been arrested and they could continue to dig Fritillaria. In one Fritillaria season, the people he controlled could give him at least one thousand yuan in tribute!
What a pity, what a pity!

Nie Chengwei was still unwilling to give up. He saw that Li Long was a hard-hearted person, so during the break, he quietly said to the villager from Qingshui River who was watching him:

"My fellow villager, if you can quietly loosen my rope a little later, I will give you a hundred dollars! I have the money on me, sewn into my underwear. If you are kind enough, I will give you the money right now!"

Dong Dahai glanced at him, then turned around and said loudly to Li Long:

"Comrade Li, this old guy is trying to bribe me to let him go!"

Nie Chengwei was dumbfounded at that time.

How can this person be so straightforward? He just says it directly!

This is one hundred yuan, two months' salary for an ordinary worker! (End of this chapter)
