Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

At this moment, Gu Boyuan showed a calmness and sharpness that was never seen in normal times. After he fired a shot, he did not immediately chase the thief who screamed and climbed out of the window. Instead, he kicked down the kneeling young man in front of him, pulled out his belt and tied his hands first, then opened the door and walked out with the gun in hand.

As he walked out, he didn't forget to scare the kidnapped man:

"Don't move! If you move, I'll shoot you to death!"

"Don't dare, don't dare!" The tied-up thief was so scared that he almost peed his pants. Who the hell knew that the guy in the recycling station had a gun!

When he was scouting the area yesterday, he watched from the side for a long time. Gu Boyuan was so polite and enthusiastic towards those people who came to sell goods with mother-of-pearl bags on their backs. Some of them didn't speak Mandarin well and couldn't hear clearly after several times of speaking, but Gu Boyuan didn't get angry. He looked gentle and reasonable.

Who would have thought that this guy didn't hesitate at all when he shot someone!
If he moved, he might really be beaten to death. How could he dare to move?

Seeing that the guy inside was relatively honest, Gu Bo went to deal with the thief outside.

When he jumped out of the window, the thief outside thought he was going to die.

That's a sand gun. At such a close distance, it would kill a bear, not to mention me! Can a bear survive if it's shot in the back?

When he fell from the window, he found that he could still move, and immediately climbed out of the yard in surprise. Although the severe pain in his back made him realize that he was shot, at least his hands and feet were fine now, and it was okay to bleed a little, as long as he was not caught. After all, the supervision was strict at the moment, and if he was caught, he didn't know how many years he would have to wait!
I was careless, I missed the point! Who would have thought that a private purchasing station would have guns!

However, he had just stood up and stumbled forward a few steps when he saw the door open and Gu Boyuan pointed a gun at him and yelled:

"You coward! If you dare to move one more step forward, I'll shoot your head off!"

The thief immediately dared not to move and stood there with a deathly pale face.

"Squat down and put your hands on your head!" Gu Boyuan continued to order, "Tell me! What's your name? Where are you from and where do you live?"

How could the thief dare to say anything? He just kept begging for mercy:
"Uncle, please help me call a doctor. I've been shot and I'm bleeding..."

"You won't die!" Gu Boyan hit him back with one sentence, "Now you know you're afraid of death, why didn't you do something earlier? You're so brave that you dare to come here to steal things?"

Although he said that, he still went over with his gun to check.

The problem is not big.

Although he had the decision to shoot, Gu Boyuan didn't want to cause any loss of life. He loaded the shotgun with shotgun shells, and even then, he took out half of the lead in the shell and reduced the amount of gunpowder, mainly to scare people.

The bullet just now hit the thief on the back. It looked quite dangerous, but actually only six or seven lead bullets were embedded in it, but not deep. They did not penetrate the back, but just made a hole in it.

Seeing that the thief was fine, Gu Boyuan was about to find a rope to tie him up. At this time, a loud question came from outside the yard:
"What's going on inside? We are the police!"

"Is that Public Security Guo? I'm Gu Boyuan, Li Long's father-in-law!" Gu Boyuan heard the voice and immediately replied:
"A thief came over to steal something, and I shot him..."

"What? Did you shoot? Did you hit him? Is he dangerous? Is he still moving..."

"It's okay, it's okay. I used a sand gun and reduced the gunpowder and lead. Just some blood came out on my back, just like with an air gun." While speaking, Gu Boyuan had already opened the door and let Guo Tiebing and others in.

Guo Tiebing heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what Gu Boyuan said. Although burglary was not a minor crime at this time, it was basically not punishable by death unless the circumstances were extremely serious.

He could tell that Gu Boyuan was prepared. After coming in with his colleagues, Guo Tiebing looked at the two thieves kneeling on the ground, carefully identified them, and shook his head. These were unfamiliar faces, not habitual offenders.

It’s normal to think about it, as the repeat offenders at this time are still sitting in prison.

The police came, and the two thieves breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, they were also worried that Gu Boyuan would get nervous and shoot them again. Although the bullet was not fatal, it would hurt if it hit the body!

Guo Tiebing's colleagues went to check on the guy who was shot in the back and found that, as Gu Boyuan said, his injury was not serious.

Because someone must be guarding the purchasing station and not allowed to leave, Guo Tiebing and his team planned to take Gu Boyuan's statement here, and then they would take the thief back.

Just at this moment, a man came running hurriedly from the east.

Li Long had excellent hearing. When the gunshots were fired, Xiao Hei in the yard made some noises and called out twice to the west. Li Long immediately got up, and Gu Xiaoxia also woke up. Li Long asked Gu Xiaoxia to look after the child, and he ran out. He guessed that the gunshots should be at the purchasing station.

When leaving the compound, Li Long had already seen Guo Tiebing and others rushing to the purchasing station, so he immediately quickened his pace to catch up with them.

"Uncle, are you okay?" When they arrived at the yard, Li Long asked about Gu Boyuan's condition first.

"It's okay, two thieves wanted to steal things," Gu Boyuan said with some reserve and pride, "When I took the gun, one of them tried to run, so I shot him. Don't worry, he's fine, I reduced the medicine and lead."

"It's good that everything is fine, it's good that everything is fine." Li Long was completely relieved.

The receiving station has such a big business that it will definitely attract people with ulterior motives. Giving Gu Boyuan a gun was just a precautionary measure, but I didn't expect it to be used so soon.

The course of events was very clear, and the two thieves confessed their actions, so Guo Tiebing and his team quickly took the statements and took the two thieves away.

"You should go back and have a rest. You are the only man in the big yard, so you have to be careful." Gu Boyuan said to Li Long - he was still wearing a vest and shorts, and felt a little embarrassed at this time.

"It's okay. Our yard is right next to the police station. Uncle, you should load the bullets in your gun. Looking at the situation, it's hard to say if there are more behind."

"Don't worry, I'm not old yet, and this gun is not a vegetarian." With a gun in hand, Gu Boyuan was full of confidence.

Li Long hurried back. He wanted to tell Gu Xiaoxia about the situation here. His wife must be very worried now.

When he arrived at the courtyard, Li Long found that Sister Yang and Han Fang were already awake and waiting in the courtyard. Gu Xiaoxia wanted to take care of Mingming Haohao and was unable to come out, so she stood at the door of the main house and looked towards the main gate.

"It's okay, it's okay. The thieves stole things and were shot by Mingming Haohao's grandfather. The two thieves were taken away by the police. It's okay now. Go to sleep."

Li Long's voice was loud and all three of them could hear it, so this was considered an explanation to everyone.

"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay." Sister Yang responded and pulled Han Fang in to sleep.

"My dad is really capable!" Gu Xiaoxia felt relieved and whispered to Li Long after they entered the house, "He dared to shoot at a living person! If I ran into him, I would at most scare him, but shooting someone would kill him."

"Your dad is so smart. He reduced the amount of powder and lead in the shotgun. When it hits a person, it sounds like an air rifle bullet. It sounds scary, but it's not that powerful in reality."

At this time, sand gun bullets can be reloaded. The shells can be reused, the primers can be purchased, and the lead inside can be poured out by making a mold.

At this time, people's manual ability is very strong. Even a doll as big as Li Qiang can use the tools and materials around him to make at least three types of toy guns.

Not to mention adults. These days, there are many people who use ammonium nitrate to make explosives for frying fish or badgers, and many of them have been in trouble.

The next morning when Gu Boyuan came to eat, he told Li Long and the others what had happened in detail.

Li Long listened hurriedly, then started the jeep to buy naan. After the department store and the free market opened, he bought some supplies and drove into the mountains.

When passing by Qingshuihe Village, Li Long discovered that some villagers were cutting poles in the woods outside.

He was stunned for a moment before he realized that these people were probably preparing to make broom poles.
It's a bit early to prepare for a rainy day.

Li Long drove into the mountain, turned and headed straight for the cabin. Sun Jiaqiang was standing at the door of the cabin, looking eastward with his neck stretched out. In the past two days, even the work of washing Fritillaria has become less, and he has tried to move as little as possible to avoid consuming more food.

The main reason was that all the supplies in the wooden house had been exchanged, including the food, which was mostly gone. Sun Jiaqiang had nothing to exchange, and those people digging Fritillaria nearby also knew about this, so they simply didn't come.

Not to mention exchanging supplies, there is only a bare amount of rice, flour and oil left in the wooden house. If Li Long doesn't come, Sun Jiaqiang will starve.

Sun Jiaqiang, who had been looking towards the east, saw the jeep coming and he felt as if he had suddenly discovered hope in his despair.

Sun Jiaqiang almost cried when he saw Li Long getting off the car and walking towards him with a bag of naan in his hand.

The people digging for Fritillaria were really crazy these days. The naan that Li Long brought for him was enough to last a week, but they replaced it all. Sun Jiaqiang was not very good at steaming buns, and the ones he made were always substandard. He felt uncomfortable eating them, and the people didn't want them either. He could only eat dead bread these days. Sun Jiaqiang's stomach was not very good, and dead bread was hard to digest. He even felt that it was difficult to defecate.

Sun Jiaqiang had been eating wild vegetables and mushrooms for the past two days, and he seemed to have smelled the fragrant smell of naan. He rushed over and took the big bag of naan from Li Long, quickly opened the bag, and eagerly broke off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. He ate while talking to Li Long about the situation. "Boss, why did you come just now? I'm starving! Do you know that all the supplies in our wooden house have been exchanged? Even the food has run out. If you don't come, those who dig Fritillaria will rebel. They come here with bags to exchange things, but I don't have anything I want. They are mocking me one by one... Boss, have you forgotten me..."

Li Long didn't expect that after just three days of absence, the shortage of supplies forced Sun Jiaqiang to become a chatterbox.

As he was moving the supplies down, he said:
"Didn't I go to a meeting? When I went to Beiting for the meeting, I bought some Fritillaria there. I asked the sellers about the situation and found that the purchase price there was much lower than ours.

I told the people who were selling Fritillaria over there that they could sell it at our purchasing station.

As a result, in the past two days, a large number of people from other counties have come here to sell Fritillaria, leather and other supplies.

My father-in-law couldn't handle it alone, so I helped him. Also, because the shipment volume was too large in the past two days, someone was watching us, and two thieves came to the purchasing station to steal things in the middle of the night.

Fortunately, we were prepared in advance, and my father-in-law shot that man..."

Sun Jiaqiang followed Li Long to move things while chewing naan in his mouth. He listened to Li Long talking about the situation in the county, feeling like he was listening to a story.

"Your father-in-law is really brave! He dared to shoot at the thief. Wasn't he afraid of killing him?"

"He used a sand gun. The gunpowder and lead bullets in the shells were reduced in amount. The noise was loud, but when it hit someone, it was the same as when it was shot with an air rifle." Li Long explained and asked:

"How many Fritillaria have you collected in the past few days?"

"There are more than 40 kilograms of dried goods." Sun Jiaqiang said proudly, "The weather has been good these two days, and they have all been dried."

"Okay, okay, very impressive." Li Long nodded in appreciation.

Although there were more than 40 kilograms, much less than the purchase station, how much was there here? It was worth two or three hundred yuan, right? In exchange for so many Fritillaria, it was already very considerable.

The profit margin of exchanging Fritillaria at the cabin is shockingly high. If we really calculate the price, it is even lower than that at Beiting Miquan.

But since they were doing business in the mountains, this was understandable. Those who were exchanging Fritillaria also understood that after all, not everyone was willing to carry supplies into the mountains and take the risk of exchanging Fritillaria with these people.

After unloading all the supplies from the car, Li Long and Sun Jiaqiang put two bags of dried Fritillaria into the car.

"I have to hurry back to help at the purchasing station." Li Long washed his hands at the spring and said to Sun Jiaqiang, "You can take care of yourself here first."

"Don't you want to wait for Bolati? He has come here several times in a row, all to look for you."

"Did he bring the Fritillaria?"

"I brought it, but you didn't give it to me because you were not here." Speaking of this, Sun Jiaqiang still had some complaints.

"Did you tell me what you wanted to talk to me about?"

"It seems that they said that there are a lot of things in their warehouse, and asked you to take some time to get them." Sun Jiaqiang said after thinking for a while.

"Okay, I got it." Li Long drove the jeep out of the mountain. Before reaching the mountain pass, he met Bolati who was riding a horse.

"Hey, Li Long, what's wrong with you? I haven't seen you for several days. Are you not doing business anymore?" Bolati asked loudly when he saw Li Long and dismounted from his horse.

"I went to a meeting in the state two days ago," Li Long explained. "I heard from Sun Jiaqiang that you were looking for me? Is there something urgent?"

"I have collected a lot of Fritillaria, and we also have a lot of Fritillaria in our warehouse. When are you going to collect them? Team leader Ali was anxious."

As he spoke, Bolati untied two plastic bags from the horse's back. The two plastic fertilizer bags contained at least 30 kilograms of Fritillaria.

"Come and take a look," Bolati proudly opened the bag and showed it to Li Long.

"This time the mother-of-pearl is very clean. Will the price be higher?"

"Let me see. Okay, okay, it is true that the price must be high."

The mother-of-pearl that Polati brought this time was quite clean, as if it had been washed and dried in the sun.

Li Long guessed that these Fritillaria were probably taken out of the mountains by people digging them and sold at the purchasing station. But he didn't expect that they were intercepted by Bolati.

"Three people took four bags of Fritillaria and walked out of the mountain early in the morning before the sun came out. They didn't expect that I would stop them on the way. In fact, we all know now that the Fritillaria diggers have already started to transport them out. They have run out of food and supplies, and the bags are almost full of Fritillaria, so some of them are preparing to go down the mountain in advance.

So, we get up early every day and go patrolling the mountains, and we catch a lot of people. Now, it is easiest to catch people in the early morning and when the sun sets and it is getting dark. "

Li Long didn't expect that Bolati and the others would also use their brains in this regard. The two sides were fighting wits and courage.

"I didn't take all of their Fritillaria. I left a bag for the three of them. They can sell it for some money. But it's also a lesson for them. Don't come here again in the future."

It seemed that what Bolati said made sense. But Li Long didn't care. It was not his place to judge who was right or wrong. He also took a handful of the bottom of the Fritillaria and found that the top and bottom were the same. Then he asked Bolati if he wanted money or something in exchange?

"If converted into money, a bag of fritillaria like this would cost at least two or three hundred yuan, right?" Bolati knew the market price.

"One bag is about 15 kilograms, I'll give you 500 yuan." Li Long said, "How about giving you 1,000 yuan for these two bags of Fritillaria?"

"Is it so high? Don't you make money anymore?"

Bolati didn't expect that Li Long would offer such a high price.

"The price of Fritillaria has increased a bit this year, and the Fritillaria you gave me are very clean and dry." Li Long said with a smile, "The price will naturally be higher."

Although Li Long was a door-to-door buyer and could have pushed down the price, to be honest, Bolati and his friends were good to him. Li Long gave a high price to the Fritillaria brought in from other places at the purchasing station, and he was embarrassed to push down the price too much.

"I just pretended to have money. Come, I'll give it to you now." After Li Long loaded the Fritillaria into the car, he took out money for Bolati. Bolati smiled, rubbed his hands, and walked up to Li Long.

One thousand yuan, one hundred big balls - a thick stack, Li Long counted it and handed it to Bolati. Bolati took the money and stuffed it into his clothes. Li Long hurriedly said, "Count it."

"Don't count it, don't count it. I saw you count it, it must be correct." Bolati patted the pockets filled with money and said with a smile, "One child is going to school, and another child is about to get married. I have to prepare things for him."

"I have saved a few thousand dollars for you," Li Long said with a smile, "Are you sure you don't want to buy you a yard?"

"Then buy it. My eldest son is getting married soon, and his girlfriend doesn't want to stay in the mountains, but wants to live in the county. So I thought, let's buy him a house in the county."

"Do you have any requests?" Li Long asked again.

"No, no, a yard in the county will do. Of course, it would be best if the original owner is of our nationality, in which case we would also like the decoration."

"Okay, I got it. I'll keep an eye out for you and try to buy it for you this year."

"So when are you going to our warehouse to get the stuff?" Pola asked. "We have more Fritillaria in our warehouse now than last time. Many people have already started shipping them out. Not only did I intercept a lot, but others also intercepted a lot."

"In two days." Li Long said, "I will finish my work first, and then I will come to your place in two days. Tell your team leader Ali that I am busy these two days and there are many things going on in the county."

"Okay, okay." After finishing his own business, Bolati felt relieved. As for the forestry team's affairs, he just had to pass them on.

Well, the distinction between personal and public is very clear.
