Qilian Mountain is known as "Wanbao Mountain".

Historically, it was also called Nanshan, as well as Snow Mountain, White Mountain and other names.

In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Huo Qu was ill and conquered the Xiongnu.

"Losing my Qilian Mountain will make my six animals restless; The loss of my self and the mountains have made my wife colorless. ”

The "Qilian Mountain" referred to in the Xiongnu folk song is this.

The Qilian Mountains contain a wide variety of high-quality mineral deposits, and the cold and humid climate is conducive to the growth of pastures.

There are large grasslands and provide a good place for the development of animal husbandry.

The Ellerchuan Ranch is one of the larger pastures.

"Eilechuan" is a place name, but where it refers to, confusing, I don't know where it is.

The cold wind howled, and the night was deep.

Eight cars waddled along a potholed, winding road.

In the cab, there was a miasma of black smoke.

Jiang Ping'an rolled down the glass window, and suddenly a biting cold wind blew in his face.

"It's cold!"

Jiang Ping'an shook his head and shouted, with white gas in his mouth, and threw the cigarette butt out.

He Siyuan held the steering wheel with both hands, held a cigarette in his mouth, took a sharp breath, took the cigarette away, and said with a smile:

"Isn't it cold? The snow on the mountain here has not melted, and the altitude is much higher than that of the capital! ”

The car was rickety, and it was past one o'clock in the morning.

Jiang Ping'an rolled up the window and asked, "How far is it?" ”

"It's not far, but the road is in poor condition, and it will take at least an hour to get there." He Siyuan said.

After a pause, he asked rhetorically, "By the way, did you bring a gun?" ”

"Huh? No, why do you bring a gun? It's a messy environment? Jiang Ping'an was stunned and wondered.

He Siyuan shook his head and said: "That's not true, the folk customs are very simple, but there are many wolves." ”

"It's winter again, especially at night, and wolves are seen from time to time."

"Their security department and militia team here often go out to chase wolves, but there are also fish that slip through the net."

"We came here a few days ago, and someone here was bitten to death by a wolf!"

Jiang Ping'an was dumbfounded: "So dangerous? When I come back later, I'll definitely bring a gun. ”

He Siyuan smiled and said, "Don't wait for later." ”

"Under your seat, there's a pistol and some bullets, and you can use it."

"This gun was given to me by someone else, not from the factory, and it was not registered, so it was given to you."

Jiang Ping'an nodded and smiled: "Yes, then I'm not welcome." ”

Then he got up and turned the mat up, and sure enough, there was a brand new box cannon and a few boxes of ammunition underneath.

Box gun is a domestic name, also called barge gun, box gun, large mirror, etc.

If it is equipped with a 20-round magazine, it is called a pot-bellied magazine, and it is also called a fast and slow machine with a fully automatic function.

The pistol has the advantages of high power, reliable action, and easy use.

"This gun is good, it's imported." He Siyuan said with a smile.

After Jiang Ping'an took out the gun and bullets, he sat down again, played with the pistol, couldn't put it down, and asked:

"What gun did you use yourself?"

In these years, drivers have traveled from south to north, and it is not uncommon to encounter robberies and blockades on the road, and it is common to carry firearms.

He Siyuan pointed to the corner behind him and said with a smile:

"I have two guns, this rifle in the back, and a pistol."

Jiang Ping'an glanced sideways, it was an AK47 assault rifle, nodded and said, "This gun is powerful and enjoyable." ”

This gun is very famous, with a short body and a short range, which is suitable for close-range combat.

The 30-round arc magazine is fed with a choice of semi-automatic or fully automatic firing methods.

It is the world's most produced, widest range and most improved type of firearm.

"Hehe, I'll take it with me for hunting." He Siyuan said with a smile.

"When we go on business trips, we usually set off in a unified convoy, and there are very few people who don't have a long eye to look for trouble."

"Anyway, I've been working for so many years, and I haven't fought with anyone, and I carry a gun just in case."

Jiang Ping'an nodded and said, "When I return to Beijing, I will also go to the store to buy a few guns for collection." ”

Yes, in this era, guns can be seen in supply and marketing cooperatives and cultural and sports stores.

However, private individuals rarely buy it, most of them use public ones, and they participate in training every year.

There are expensive and cheap, and the old one can be used for a few dollars.

Expensive air guns, such as the I-brand, are particularly expensive, and a gun is worth a few months' salary for an ordinary family.

Which family has this kind of air gun basically belongs to the "rich" level.

As he was talking, He Siyuan stepped on the brakes and the car stopped.

"There's a car up front that breaks down." He explained, then quickly grabbed a flashlight and got out of the car to help.

Jiang Ping'an put away the gun and ammunition, took the flashlight, opened the door and got out of the car, and followed.

Eight cars, eight drivers.

In addition to Jiang Ping'an, there were sixteen security personnel, two from each car, who stayed in the carriage.

The importance of cotton to the textile mill is self-evident, and it is natural to arrange for someone from the security department to come and escort the goods.

These people also carried guns, and when they got out of the car, they automatically dispersed and kept an eye on the surroundings at all times.

The tires of the third car are broken from the front to the back, not a big problem, there is a spare tire, just replace it.

Drivers in this year, as long as the fault is not too complicated, can handle it by themselves.

A group of people surrounded them, and the first to take a hand and help change the tires.

The ones who arrived later were not idle, holding flashlights to illuminate.

"It's fast, if you take a shortcut on foot, you can get there in half an hour."

Seeing Jiang Ping'an coming, He Siyuan opened his mouth and handed over a cigarette.

"But it's not as good as the capital, so it's too dangerous to walk and run at night."

Jiang Ping'an took the cigarette, nodded and asked, "After arriving, how will the food be arranged?" ”

"There's a cafeteria, so we can eat noodles when we get there in the evening." He Siyuan said.

"Deputy Director Qian came over in advance, prepared the logistics early, and settled with the ranch when we left."

Jiang Ping'an was surprised: "There's a lot of food here? And noodles to eat? ”

"Not really, the herdsmen are also short of food to eat." He Siyuan shook his head and said.

"We didn't have anything to do with the surrounding production team, and most of them usually eat mush and sweet potatoes."

"They would also go hunting in the mountains with guns in groups, but nine times out of ten, they returned empty-handed."

"If you're lucky enough to catch your prey, you'll go and change rice or white flour and come back and share a good meal."

The pastures are divided into regional sizes and are managed in a unified manner, some are county-level units, and some are commune-level.

It is also divided into a brigade and a production team, which is actually no different from the countryside in other places.

Just like the farm in the capital, it is also composed of many production teams.

A large area is planned in a unified and rational manner, and what is planted and raised is planned.

A group of people are blowing the cold wind, there are many people, and the nonsense of the north and the south, even if it is cold, they are all accompanied by the side.

It was cold and hungry at this time, and several drivers who changed tires were stiff, and it took about 20 minutes to change them.

The convoy continued to depart, and an hour later, eight vehicles stopped in front of an office building.

"This is the ranch's office building, and it's not far behind the guest house." He Siyuan said after turning off the car.

"The cafeteria is on the first floor, and after eating, you can go to the guest house and sleep beautifully."

After getting out of the car with luggage, the secretary of Deputy Director Qian was waiting in the parking lot.

"Comrade Ping An has worked hard, and the money factory told him, you will eat and rest first when you arrive, and we will meet again tomorrow morning."

Jiang Ping'an shook hands with him and said with a smile: "You're polite, it's hard for you to wait for me so late." ”
