In mid-November, Li Bo returned from a family visit.

Lin He rushed to the county seat, picked up Li Bo at the train station and went directly to Tonggu.

On the way, he talked about the purpose of looking for Du Yubao, Li Bo was young after all, patted his chest and said that it was no problem, not to mention that Du Yubao slept with him on bunk beds when he was a recruit, a real iron buddy, this little thing will definitely give him face.

Du Yubao was really happy that his old comrades-in-arms could come, and he specially went outside to invite his old comrades-in-arms to dinner.

As a result, when Lin He's matter was mentioned at the dinner table, Du Yubao groaned, and there was no promise as Li Bo imagined.

Lin He is not surprised, if he wants a person to do something that requires risk, it is impossible to be driven by profits.

Looking for an opportunity in Li Bo's absence, Lin He and Du Yubao talked and formed a consensus.

Du Yubao was in a good mood and took the initiative to touch a glass with Lin He, this is a smart person, from the fact that he can avoid Li Bo and put some things on the table that are not convenient for the third person to see, he knows that this is a smart person.

That night, I stayed in the border company, and in the evening I drank with a few hairy ones.

The next day, a deputy company commander took Lin He and followed the delivery military vehicle to the No. 6 and No. 7 border posts, and met all the officers and men of the two posts.

It was getting colder, and although there were coal stoves, it was still cold at the outpost.

Lin He would cross the border every day to explore the way, and it took a full week to connect with the border guards on the opposite side, knock on the gate of the opposite outpost with a tukrila, and communicate with a squad leader in the outpost for two hours.

Ten days later, when Lin He returned home, it was almost nine o'clock.

Huang Chunhua was already ready to sleep, and when she saw Lin He enter the door, she asked, "Have you eaten?" ”

Lin He said: "I ate, I ate in the county seat, Mom, I will go to Tonggu tomorrow, and it may take half a month to come back." ”

Huang Chunhua was stunned for a moment and asked, "Didn't you just come back, why did you go again, it's still so long." ”

Lin He didn't want his mother to worry, so he lied: "Didn't I go to Tonggu with that Li Bo of the Engineer Regiment yesterday?" The commander of the border defense company is his comrade-in-arms, there are more than a dozen cattle to be sold, the price is good, one head is one thousand five, I have seen it, it can kill more than 300 catties of meat, one can earn 1,000 yuan, I will find a few people to pull it back! ”

Huang Chunhua was not at ease: "Don't be deceived." ”

Lin He said: "Mom, don't worry, I'm not stupid, I don't see a rabbit or a hawk, who can deceive me." ”

"Boom!"

Huang Chunhua glared at her son, and she didn't worry too much.

Lin Zhao's daughter-in-law was right that day, her son was really a thief, and in the past few months of giving meat, except for some favors that really need to be taken care of, he has always been a master who refuses to suffer. Sometimes even she can't figure out why her son has changed so much, he is simply a profiteer who has been doing business for decades, and he is very sophisticated no matter what he does.

However, cows and pigs are not the same.

Huang Chunhua was still a little worried, and asked, "Can you really make money?" There's nothing risky! ”

Lin He said: "Of course, if I don't make money, I will toss, the risk is there, but it is not big." Cattle and pigs are different, the reason why beef is expensive is because there are too few cows, Lao Zheng They bought at least 3,000 big cows, I pulled 1,000 and 5,000, excluding freight and labor costs, a cow can earn at least 1,000, and more than a dozen cows can earn more than 10,000. ”

Huang Chunhua saw what he said, so she didn't ask anymore.

Mom let her go here, and Lin He immediately went to find someone.

The reason why I was planted in my previous life was because I was sold.

To embark on this road again, the selection of people is the top priority, and those who cannot be absolutely assured of him resolutely do not.

Looking back 20 years, who in the village can use Lin He to basically know in their hearts.

In addition to Lin Hai, Lin He chose two more people, plus himself, four people are enough. The next day, Lin Hai naturally has no problem, there is nothing to say about using people's money to work for others, it is the same wherever he goes.

The remaining two, one is Lin Duo and the other is Yang Xuepeng, both young men in their twenties and in the prime of life.

The crops are busy in the fields, and no one refuses to earn money.

Early the next morning, Lin He took three people, all the way to Tonggu, did not go directly to the Lion Temple, it took a lot of effort to find five big trucks in Tonggu, to get on the phone, after eating in the county seat before going to the Lion Temple.

They stayed in the company for one night, and at 3 a.m. the next day, the four of them got into a military vehicle to deliver supplies and went to Station No. 6.

The mountain road is too high, and sitting in the big box of the truck almost came out of the breakfast just eaten.

Lin Duo said with emotion while following the ups and downs of the car box: "It's a good mix, Lin He, living in the army, eating in the army, and picking up and dropping off military vehicles, it is worthy of being a schooler, and this ability to deal with people is strong." ”

Lin He said with a smile: "The school doesn't teach dealing with people. ”

Yang Xuepeng said: "I never went to the barracks, and I didn't sleep last night. ”

Lin Duo and Lin Hai also entered the barracks for the first time, and they also didn't sleep well last night.

Lin Hedao: "I will live in the barracks more often in the future, so it's good to get used to it slowly." ”

Lin Hai asked, "Where is this going, where are the cows?" ”

Lin Hedao: "My mother didn't know about this, I didn't tell you before, I'm afraid my mother won't let me go if she knows." In fact, this time I went to Tuguo to pull cattle, I have done a good job, and if it goes well, I should be able to return home in half a month. ”

The three of them were all taken aback when they heard this, and their faces immediately changed.

Lin Duo inhaled cold air and said, "Why are you so bold, you will be caught and imprisoned." ”

Lin Hai and Yang Xuepeng's hearts jumped, and they were a little uneasy, after all, they were not joking.

Lin He said calmly: "Don't worry, we will go from the No. 6 border station, a hundred kilometers away from the port, who else will go over that place except for the border guards." The border guards will help, so there is no problem at all. ”

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, but they were still a little drumming in their hearts.

Being able to go abroad was originally a good thing to be excited about for migrant workers in this era.

But the problem is that going abroad this time is not compliant, which will inevitably make people worry.

Lin He said again: "Since yesterday, this time I will give you thirty yuan a day for pulling the cow." ”

The three of them were in good spirits, and they gave thirty yuan a day, even if it was worth the risk.

By the time we arrived at Border Station No. 6, it was still dark.

Lin He did not hesitate, took the military horse borrowed from the border station, hung several large bags of food and tools on the horse, took advantage of the night to cross the barbed wire, waved to the two soldiers, and led the three of them to the north on foot.

When the sky was bright, the four of them arrived at the northern border post.

Lin He stepped forward and shouted a few times in the dialect, and the two soldiers quickly ran over and opened the barbed wire.

Lin Hai and the three of them were a little nervous, and they didn't dare to make a loud breath after following Lin He, feeling that their hearts were about to jump out, and they walked a full kilometer away before they breathed a sigh of relief, and their foreheads were sweating on the cold day.

Yang Duo wiped his sweat and asked, "What did you just say, why didn't I hear a word?" ”

Lin He said: "I speak the northern dialect. ”

The three of them were stunned, and Yang Xuepeng then asked, "When did you learn to speak Northern Chinese?" ”

Lin He said: "I came to the Lion Temple to learn a few words from people. ”

The three of them suddenly asked, Lin Hai asked, "Why do you even know foreign soldiers?" ”

Lin He smiled and said: "There are few things in this world that money can't do, and knocking on the door with banknotes is invincible." ”

The three of them looked at each other, and they were a little strange in their hearts, and then looked at Lin He's tender face, and suddenly felt that they had lived to dogs for more than 20 years, and their knowledge was not as good as that of a hairy boy who had just finished junior high school.

After the northern outpost, there are still 100 kilometers to go.

Lin He didn't dare to delay, he led the horse to Lin Duo, and the three of them crossed the mountains and mountains, facing the howling north wind, and strode in the deserted mountains.

At noon, the wind was lighter and the sun was coming out of the gray clouds.

The four of them rested in a mountain col, took out steamed buns and braised pork and ate some, and prepared to rest for ten minutes before leaving.

The military horses carrying things were leisurely gnawing on the yellow grass beside them, and a pair of tricky ears suddenly moved, and there was a long neigh, and the four hooves were about to run away, if they were not tied to the iron stake, people would never be able to pull it.

Lin Hai and the three of them were a little stunned, and they didn't know what kind of nerves this horse was committing.

Lin He was in a daze, this scene was too familiar, he immediately got up and looked around, and soon saw a wolf standing on the top of the mountain not far away, about two hundred meters away, his heartbeat immediately began to speed up, but he was not flustered.

Yang Xuepeng and the three of them soon saw it, and they were almost scared.

"Wolves, there are wolves!"

Yang Xuepeng's legs were a little soft, and he couldn't say anything.

Lin Hai and Lin Duo are not much better, they are really too famous for being wolves.

Lin He picked up a bag, took out a pistol from the bag, and raised the gun to shoot the sky.

"Where did you get your gun?"

The three of them were stunned again, feeling that the world was a little messy.
