Chapter 55: Buying and Selling

"More than ten years ago, seven or eight of us went into the mountains to ask for ginseng, and the snow was bigger than it is now-" Hu Qiu picked up a handful of snow on the ground and stuffed it into his mouth, "Well, the taste is better than now...... It was also on the snowfield, and we were looking for a place to stay, when another group of people came to us and asked for help, saying that their 'old stick head' was stuck in the snow and had to be dragged up quickly!

We asked, 'Can you still show your head?' ’

The other person replied, 'Anyway, there are no feet and necks!' ’”

Liang Fangle, "What's the urgency without feet and necks, you still need to ask for help!" ”

"That's what we said at the time, guess what people answered?"

"Why?"

"We, the 'old sticks', were planted from horses, and the big heads were downward......"

He Aijuan "poofed" out loud, and a few of us couldn't help but laugh, this joke was told at the right time, just to relax and relax everyone.

But he didn't expect Hu Qiu to tell more than just a joke, the latter is the point, he continued, "When we get there, let's take a look, huh! Good guys, don't talk about people, even the horses are mostly gone...... We immediately lowered the rope and dragged the people out, but the three big horses couldn't pull it, and we didn't know where the 'old stick head' was stuck......

Later, we didn't dare to drag him hard, for fear of 'splitting his body', so we had to give up and ......walk along the low-lying ground."

Liang Fang couldn't laugh anymore, "Why? ”

"Look for his corpse - you don't know, the most dangerous thing on the snow field is the dark river, hidden under the snow and even under the surface, only to hear its sound and not see its shape, if people and animals fall into it nine times out of ten and then can't get out, then you can only find it downstream, if you are lucky, you can find a whole and corpse, if you are unlucky, you can find a body, if you are unlucky, you can......"

"So, did you find it later?" Liang Fang asked.

"I didn't find the man, but the horse rushed down—" said Hu Qiu, "and when I fished it up, I found that the skin and flesh had been scalded, and I must have encountered a hot spring." ”

Liang Fang and He Aijuan's faces changed, and a good joke turned into a tragedy.

"The old lake is amusing you, how can there be so many dark river hot springs!" Mo Ye said with a smile, and whipped his pants covered with ice and snow, "We have also walked for more than three hours, so let's rest here...... You're all hungry, mountain artillery, and we're going to see if we can get any more wild things. ”

For more than 10 hours since last night, we have not eaten the oil and rice, and we have long been so hungry that our chests are close to our backs, and the food we bring is thrown away and sprinkled, and now we are not enough for half a bowl of rice together, and it is too thin to make porridge. At the mention of Mo Ye, everyone felt even more hungry, and they couldn't wait to dig out the grass roots under the snow to eat.

At this time, I thought of the horse that Hu Qiu had just mentioned, and while I was silently sad for it, I was thinking more about the smell of cooked meat. Is it delicious......

During the period when the artillery went out to "forage for food", we all sat down to rest, and Mo Ye examined Huqiu's wounds;

Liang Fang curled his legs, while whispering to He Aijuan, while writing something on a few pieces of paper with a pen, I went up to take a look, except that the formula is a number, I can't understand it at all, but I am embarrassed to ask, so I can only pretend to pat him on the shoulder, "It's good, all-round development, I was good at math in high school...... this kid is real, "Brother Li, this is not mathematics, it's meteorological data calculus." ”

"......" me.

Afie sat farther away and began to eat her compressed biscuits again.

I still admire this girl, no matter how urgent and dangerous the situation is, she can always calmly get out of the way, and even protect her own rations. But "eating alone" clearly lacks team spirit, and I'm going to order her.

I walked up to her and sat down, "It's not good for your health to eat too much of this thing." ”

She ignored me.

"Otherwise, I'll help you share the burden. Even if there is suffering! ”

She didn't even look at me.

I gritted my teeth, "I'll pay for it, it's all right!" ”

I didn't expect her to really react, squinting at me, "Five hundred and one packs, cash." ”

What's wrong with the world? Money is paramount, mercenary! Are the sincere feelings between people ethereal?! In the face of predicament and disaster, is all that remains is the ugliness of naked, naked, and naked human nature?!

I gave her some money, ate half a pack, and sold the remaining half a pack to Liang Fang for five hundred yuan......

While chewing on the biscuits, I looked at the backpack next to Ah Fei and asked, "How many 'five hundred' are in there?" I think we can work together and make a small profit......"

She started ignoring me again.

"In the bag...... Is there anything else that can be sold for a good price? I asked tentatively, and gradually introduced the topic - I had contacted Du Longbiao in the past two days, and specifically asked about the "shorts leg" gangster, Du Longbiao said that the person has not been caught, and still has not found out what they "have handled" What it is, I am particularly concerned about this, is it that Ah Fei got from them, just a few "remote control bombs"? No, it's not that simple.

"Maybe the two of us can do an equivalent exchange-" I didn't want to give up easily, and patted the small suitcase behind me, which I always carried, and I didn't lose a single thing, "There are a lot of good things in it, you must be interested......"

"Not interested." Ah Fei squeezed out these three words and didn't speak again.

Half an hour later, the artillery battle came back, empty-handed, not to mention wild things, not even a wild mouse did not touch one, he cursed, while "dong dong" poured a large mouthful of hot water, as soon as he saw the little couple gnawing on biscuits, he was even more angry, if it was not for the crowd, I was afraid that I would have to go over to grab it.

Liang Fang had already distributed the saved biscuits to Mo Ye and Hu Qiu, and the two of them were very grateful and ate cleanly, but they didn't expect the artillery battle to be fruitless, and in the end, he was the only one who had a deflated stomach.

We continued on our way, and when the sun was a little off, we entered the hinterland of the snowfield, and when we looked around, there was a white mist, boundless, thousands of miles at a glance, and we could not distinguish the southeast and northwest with the naked eye, and we seemed to be in the middle of a plain ocean, and the feeling was very contradictory—both magnificent and lonely, both pleasant and helpless, and at the same time the mood was unrestrained, but also a trace of fear......

The sky was clearer, the view was exceptionally good, and we all wore sunglasses to avoid snow blindness. Only Liang Fang was still the short-sighted glasses, and Mo Ye reminded him, "Xiao Liang, let Xue sting, it's not a joke, isn't there ink in your pen?" It works on lenses as well. ”

Liang Fang smiled and said, "Thank you Uncle Mo for your concern, you may have a misunderstanding, in fact, it is not snow that irritates people's eyes, but the reflected ultraviolet rays of the sun, and my myopia glasses have a protective function......

"Don't ignore!" The cannon said angrily, "Just show that you are educated?" ”

Liang Fang didn't choke back, and pushed his glasses up, "Huh? You, look, what is that? ”
