The door of the warehouse was slammed open with a "bang", and Luo Shili rushed in and shouted excitedly: "Good news! Great news! The tractor can start! ”

Luo Shili is also a member of the exiles, he is a graduate of Nanyang University of Technology, although he is the oldest one in the "Chinese solution", but because of his obsession with mechanical design, he lacks in human sophistication. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After starting the camp, he boldly offered to check out the tractor mentioned by the captain in his speech. Commander Li did not shirk and sent two security guards to take him to the material warehouse.

Two steam tractors were parked in a corner of the warehouse, rusted because they had not been used for more than a year.

Nowadays, the internal combustion engine is popular in the world, and the steam engine is outdated. The new tractor is flexible, easy to operate, and trouble-free to maintain, making it the first choice for land reclamation.

Luo Shili recognized the two big guys as 110-horsepower steam tractors produced by Xingliao Machinery Factory, which were designed and finalized five years ago, and were discontinued after less than 1,000 units were produced.

According to the security guards, only one member of the regiment knew how to repair a steam engine, but two years ago, the mechanic chased a roe deer deep into a ghost swamp for hunting, and even men and horses fell into it. The steam engine was already prone to problems, and it didn't take long for one of the two tractors to explode and the other to lose transmission.

The pioneer group applied to the higher authorities for mechanics, but the director of the Reclamation Bureau sent five new machines of Xingliao Machinery with a stroke of a pen, driven by a 54-horsepower internal combustion engine.

Two steam tractors were scrapped and lay dormant in the warehouse.

Luo Shili inspected the machine and found that the replacement part of the transmission failure could be repaired; The other boiler was badly damaged by the explosion, but many spare parts could be removed, including the transmission gears needed for the other boiler.

"We have a steam tractor in good condition and quite a few spare parts!" In the granary, Luo Shili explained to the crowd surrounding him.

"Captain Fang won't give us much time, can it be repaired tomorrow?" Wu Rui hurriedly asked.

"Simple! Complete the mission in a maximum of half a day! Luo Shili was full of confidence, "But I need two people to help me do the hard work." ”

"Good!" Wu Rui slapped his thigh hard, "I'll help you with Lu Tianxi tomorrow." ”

"No problem!" Lu Tianxi happily accepted the assignment.

The next morning, everyone was still hungry after eating the gruel breakfast provided by the pioneer group. Luo Shili and the three of them went to repair the tractor, and the others were confined to the old warehouse with nothing to do, and Jin Tong asked the guards to help find Ashku.

Ashku got the news and rushed to him, and Jin Tong put forward a request to buy grain. After hearing the truth, although Ashku was sympathetic, he was a little embarrassed, "Xinlu's grain has to be purchased from outside, and three thousand kilograms will definitely not be able to make up." ”

Of course, Jin Tong would not make it difficult for Ashku, and explained the plan and the plan: "The pioneer regiment should have grain, I plan to buy grain at a high price with Commander Li, and he will have no problem raising 3,000 kilograms of rations from each company." Then he took the money to buy another one, or bribed the Reclamation Bureau to transfer it, it was none of our business. The problem is that I don't know each other well with Captain Li, and it's only been one day, so it's hard to negotiate business......"

Ashku heard the song and knew what it meant, nodded and said, "I have dealt with Lao Li for several years, and he has to give this little face." You say high price, how much can it be higher? ”

"This," Jin Tong thought for a while, "A pound of flour in Dijing is about three cents, I don't know our local market......"

"Xunhe can't compare to the capital, and a bag of forty catties of noodles in the county sells for nine cents."

"Then I'll pay four cents a catty, and six thousand catties is ...... 240 yuan, I add another 20 yuan, counting the freight. Jin Tong knew that he must not be stingy at this time.

Ashku nodded with satisfaction, "You are not very old, but you can be a man, I will help you run a trip and sell an old face." ”

Jin Tong respectfully bowed to the deer hunter, "Great grace is not grateful!" ”

Ashkuha laughed, waved his hand and went out.

In the afternoon, the mechanic team returned. Although the three of them were tired, they all had joy on their faces that could not be hidden.

"It's fixed! Thanks to Lao Luo! Wu Rui reported the good news to everyone, "I have tried burning coal and firewood, and there is no problem at all!" ”

Lu Tianxi even claimed to be a hero, "Do you have anything to eat?" Bring up the good wine and meat! ”

Li Xiaoyan brought out a plate of nest heads, "This is the only one we have for lunch, and this is specially reserved for you...... Keep it by the fire and eat it hot. ”

Luo Shili unceremoniously took a nest head, chewed it twice, and asked, "Are there any pickles?" ”

Li Xiaoyan shook her head apologetically.

Wu Rui smiled: "It's okay, what do you eat." In the future, we will be self-reliant and will definitely improve our living standards! ”

Jin Tong remembered the small jar of sauerkraut he bought in Xunhe County, so he asked Jin Jing to take it out and reward the three heroes.

The three of them nibbled on the sauerkraut and ate happily. Ashku visited again.

Jin Tong whispered to him in the corner of the warehouse.

The purchase of grain has been negotiated. Commander Li promised to mobilize 3,000 kilograms of flour, which would be sent by tractor to the exiles' stronghold in the wasteland tomorrow, along with the 2,300 kilograms issued by the Reclamation Bureau.

Jin Tong handed Ashku the banknotes that he had prepared earlier, Ashku accepted them nonchalantly, and said: "Commander Li said that there is no food to eat in the wasteland in winter, you have to add another forty yuan, and he will give you a ton of cabbage!" ”

Jin Tong immediately said that there was no problem, and asked Jin Jing for forty yuan.

In the evening, the security captain of the pioneer regiment and the captain of the French police arrived together, followed by two prisoners.

A person is thin, roe-headed and rat-eyed, in his thirties, and he is not a good person at first glance; The other was tall and strong, with an honest face, in his twenties.

Captain Fang slapped his face, asked everyone to gather, and introduced: "These two are the agricultural instructors sent to you by Captain Li, and they will live with you in the coming year." Let's get to know each other! ”

The thin prisoner stepped forward to introduce himself, and his voice was hoarse, "My name is Yuan Wending, and everyone calls me Ma Monkey, a disciple of Xinghan Hall in Songjiang Mansion, who came for theft." ”

The strong man's voice was small, and he said cautiously: "My name is Martin, Henan Li, robbery, robbery." ”

Captain Fang snorted dissatisfiedly, and Martin's body immediately shrunk.

"These two are about to serve their sentences, they guide you to farm, and at the same time monitor and prevent you from escaping, completing the task is a meritorious service, and you can be released and returned home after a year! Therefore, don't have thoughts that you shouldn't have. And their rations are counted among you! ”

Captain Fang said sternly, turned to Jin Tong and said: "Jin Tong, you can do it, I heard that you bought 6,000 catties of grain and cabbage, which is generous enough!" Then be generous and buy it every year! I see how much money you have to waste! ”

Captain Fang finished the nameless fire and left with the security captain. The students kept the two prisoners outside the campfire, apparently not wanting to mingle with the two real criminals.

Wu Rui saw that it was not a problem, so he asked.

"Do you two know how to farm?"

Yuan Wending, a horse monkey, replied: "I can drive a tractor, and I don't know how to farm." Usually the squad leader tells you to do whatever you want, are you the leader? Then I'll listen to you. ”

There were no public officials in the granary, and the strong man Martin spoke loudly, "I will farm, burn brick kilns, build houses, and later go to Luzhou to work with the contractor, and if I don't pay him at the end of the year, I will rob him!" ”

Wu Rui is more satisfied with Martin, if what he says is the truth, then this person is not only not a bad person, but a talent.

Jin Tong was very sensitive to the horse monkey claiming to be a disciple of Xinghan Hall, and immediately asked, "Yuan Wending, are you really a disciple of Xinghan Hall?" What generation? ”

Yuan Wending said proudly: "I am an elephant generation. ”

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, most of the disciples of the church transferred to the police and military intelligence systems, but some of them continued to operate the gray area and gradually transformed into a "dynamic social group" and maintained a semi-cooperative relationship with the police department.

In Jin Tong's memory, his grandfather was a disciple of Xinghantang, and he became a patrol officer because of this relationship. After the death of his grandfather, his father and son inherited their father's business and became patrol policemen, but they did not have the identity of Xinghantang.

Jin Tong still has a bit of incense for Xinghantang.

"My grandfather is also from Xinghantang, and the old man is a generation of 'learning'." He said with some emotion.

"It turned out to be the face of the junior and the younger brother! Dare to ask the name? Yuan Wending hit the snake with the stick.

"Senior brother is big! That's what I'll say! My father's generation has nothing to do with Tangkou. "Jin Tong doesn't want to be a brother and sister to a thief.

But he didn't say it casually, after all, it would be much more convenient to get along for a year and have an intersection in identity.

Yuan Wending really refused to let go, "Where did the junior brother say it, the ancestor is his own family, and of course you are also your own family." Let's get closer and closer in the future! ”

Wu Rui saw the two of them clearly, and felt that this was also a good thing, after all, they still had to rely on others to open up wasteland, and it was always good to be able to get closer.

Seeing that the atmosphere was relaxed, the others silently made room for the two of them by the campfire.
