Chapter 147: Just hang at the back of the line

"Ah Qiang, you're here!"

The old village chief was explaining some things to Lin Hai, the militia captain who was in charge of the security work of this trip, when he looked up and saw a three-wheeled bicycle coming quickly, and hurriedly greeted Wang Qiang.

In fact, this time the village procurement team traveled far away, and his biggest backhand was Wang Qiang.

This little guy has been enlightened since he was divided into fields.

Moreover, he is like a dragon crossing the river, in his family's fields and mountains, not to mention the rivers and seas, everything can be done easily.

A small family that people can't bear to witness, just gave him a few months of hard work, and he completely turned over.

Now he is called the richest man in the tea city, and it is estimated that he is also worthy of the name.

This kind of person who seems to have obvious great luck against him will definitely end up with great bad luck.

The old village chief is well-informed and has a lot of social experience, and he believes that he will not lose his eyes.

Wang Qiang, the little guy, is the lucky star of Jiangbei Village.

"Old village chief, you came to see you off so early?"

Wang Qiang stopped the car and smiled, and said hello to the village chief.

He looked around, looked at the sky again, and said, "Looks like everyone is ready, and we should leave immediately." ”

At this time, he saw several old coachmen driving three large carriages out of the compound of the village committee.

This kind of procurement operation with a large number of people is not suitable for driving a walk-behind tractor at the brigade headquarters.

You know, the task of this trip is to purchase hundreds of livestock, and the roar of the hand-held tractor can easily cause the livestock to be frightened, which can cause accidents.

Therefore, the most suitable way for Jiangbei Village's long-distance procurement action is to let a few old coachmen in the village drive a big carriage to go.

Of course, these big carriages are not used to pull people, but to load all kinds of necessary materials for travel.

There were a lot of people, and everyone still chose to walk to Stone Town.

Why not a lot of people go a little?

In that case, wouldn't everyone be able to ride in a big carriage?

Hehe!

The livestock trading market in Stone Town has existed for hundreds of years, and in that small area, it has become a mixed place for several nearby counties, and it is very chaotic.

If you go with fewer people, you will be targeted by some ill-intentioned people if you are not careful, and the probability of an accident is very high.

In particular, the procurement team has a large amount of tens of thousands of yuan raised by the villagers of the whole village, and the safety must be guaranteed.

Therefore, the procurement team selected by Jiangbei Village is not only small, but basically suitable.

"Ah Qiang, this time you have to cheer up, and you must pay more attention to various situations."

The old village chief told Wang Qiang, "This time, the whole village of Jiangbei Village, including every family after the separation, has pooled five yuan, half of which is used to buy female animals and a small number of strong male animals, and the other half is used to buy all kinds of small calves. ”

"Although the money is not too much, and the total number of large and small livestock can only be bought back, this is the last activity fund that the villagers in our village can scrape together."

"So, you and Captain Lin Hai, this time you have to worry more about it, and you can't have an accident."

He had to worry.

Because there are often various gossip from the livestock market in Stone Town, there is everything to say, which makes people feel uneasy.

"Well, I'll pay more attention."

Wang Qiang's face was straight, and he solemnly agreed.

He was sure.

If anyone can make a moth and succeed by exploiting loopholes under the dual supervision of himself and Dabai, he is definitely not an earthling!

The mutated big dog is not a vegetarian.

At the slightest hint of a stir, it can feel it, and it can react most quickly.

If you want to do things under the noses of yourself and Dabai, that's really thinking too much.

Under the bright lights, the old village chief turned around and returned to the front of the gate of the village committee and explained some things to pay attention to.

The others, including the women who had come to see them off, began to load the things they had to bring with them onto the three wagons.

By the time everyone was really ready to go, at this time, the sky had already begun to show a touch of fish belly white.

"Let's go!"

Lin Hai, the leader of the militia, was the person in charge of the procurement team and the captain of the security team, he waved his big hand forward, carried a rifle on his back, and took a big stride with his waist straight, taking the lead in the forefront.

The militia squad consisted of a total of nine people, and they formed a three-three formation, with the captain Lin Hai as the arrow, escorting the procurement team and three large carriages in the middle position, along the central avenue of Jiangbei Village, towards the head of the Chajiang Bridge, steadily advancing.

Wang Qiang rode a tricycle, followed behind, and hung this small team from a distance.

The main reason is that their family does not have a common language with the villagers, and they don't know what to say when they are together, which will be embarrassing.

So, he rode a three-wheeled bicycle and followed suitably.

"Brother, aren't they slow?"

"Yes, yes! If this speed of travel had been maintained, we would have been able to reach our destination by noon. ”

"I've heard that the livestock trading market in Stone Town is usually around 12 o'clock at noon, which is the busiest time."

"Of course, everyone drives livestock in the morning, most of them have to walk dozens of miles, and when they arrive at the trading market, isn't it just noon?" ……

A few girls, after the team marched for a while, before they left Jiangbei Village, they found some unusual situations.

Nothing else, it's just that these villagers are walking too fast.

From Jiangbei Village to Stone Town, there are about sixty miles of road.

A normal person can walk briskly and without stopping, about an hour, and can walk five or six kilometers, that is, between ten and twelve miles.

However, if you want to walk 60 miles, you will definitely need to take a break or twice in between.

Even if people are in good physical condition nowadays and are very able to endure hardships, it will take at least six hours to complete the journey of sixty miles.

If we had kept it up at the current pace of the team in front of us, except for the break in the middle of the process, we would have been able to reach our destination in about five hours.

Of course, Wang Qiang knows that most of the rural people in this era have a pair of iron feet and are very capable of walking.

Traveling hundreds of miles a day, they can really do it, and it is very ordinary.

Wang Qiang and the four girls, following behind, sighed very much.

The team kept moving at a constant pace, and after about ten minutes, they left Jiangbei Village, crossed the Chajiang Bridge, and in front of them was the intersection where the bus station was located.

The direction to Stone Town is to go all the way north.

Wang Qiang plans to buy electricity in a few days, and the city he is going to go to will pass through Stone Town, or along the center of the town, and cross through.

At this intersection where the bus station is located, the direction the line has been going in the direction of Stone Town and the city.

The team passed the bus station and didn't need to turn around, just kept moving forward.

After another twenty minutes or so, the team had arrived at the head of the West River Bridge.

The West River Bridge is about 100 meters long, but it is not wide, and the width of the bridge deck is less than eight meters.

The quality of the Xihe Bridge is not too good, although it is also a stone arch bridge, but compared with the Chajiang Bridge, it is several grades worse.

"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"

The Xihe Bridge is an ordinary stone arch bridge, or the inferior one, which is mediocre and somewhat dilapidated.

After crossing the West River Bridge, it is White Horse Village.

On this side of the West River Bridge, the village is called West River Village, and on the other side is White Horse Village.

I heard that these two villages are not only geographically opposed, but also have an antagonistic relationship with each other.

Anyway, everyone looked at their neighbors on the other side of the river, and it was very unpleasant.

However, this is not about Wang Qiang's family.

After crossing the West River Bridge, it is all the way forward, there is no other intersection, and there is no medium and large fork in the road until you reach the stone town.

However, the terrain of these dozens of miles is high, and the team has to climb the slope from time to time.

Wang Qiang didn't care, just talking and laughing with his sister, while slowly stepping on the pedal, following the team that was crossing the bridge, all the way forward.

Soon, the tricycle followed the procession across the Xihe Bridge and moved at a constant speed in the direction of due north.
