Chapter 160 Entering the Mountain(1/2)

 "I say Wu Chu, it's boring for you to be like this. Before, you said no matter how much it cost, but now you're asking for a price and you're like this." Fangyuan spread his hands and said.

"Okay! How about five yuan a pound?"

After hearing the price quoted by Wu Chu, Fangyuan turned around and left without saying a word. She even lost interest in bargaining with him.

"Wait! Fangyuan, what are you doing? Let's do this. How much do you say? I'll see if you can accept it." Wu Chu said quickly, he was really afraid that Fangyuan would just leave like this.

In that case, there would be no hope at all, so he absolutely could not let Fangyuan go.

"I said Wu Chu, you don't know what's going on outside right now? A pound of fine grain stamps costs four yuan. You want to buy a pound of fresh pork for five yuan. What do you think?



Hearing what Fangyuan said, Wu Chu blushed a little. Of course he knew what was going on outside, but who would spend more if he could spend less.

"Yes, yes, like this, you say it."

"Ten yuan a pound, if it's less, forget it."

"Ten yuan a pound?" Wu Chu was also shocked by the price.

To be honest, the price is a bit high. The fine grain stamp is four yuan per pound, but a pound of fine grain and a pound of fresh meat are completely different concepts.

"Yes, fresh pork costs ten yuan a pound. If you think it's expensive, I can provide you with some rabbits, about six pounds of rabbits, each one costs twenty yuan."

Hearing what Fangyuan said, Wu Chu thought for a while and said, "Well, wait a moment and I'll call and ask."

"Okay." Fang Yuan nodded, and then sat down on the sofa.

Wu Chu walked to the office, picked up the phone and dialed a number. The call was quickly connected, and then Wu Chu reported what Fangyuan said.

I don’t know what was said on the phone, but Wu Chu hung up the phone and said to Yuan Yuan: "I still want fresh pork, at the price you said."

"Okay, give me a phone number. I'll call you when it's done and you can send a car to pick it up."

"Okay." Wu Chu nodded, and then wrote a phone number to Fangyuan.

Fangyuan took it, looked at it, put it in his pocket, turned around and walked out.

There is no other way. If we don’t walk for a while, there will be no cars. In that case, we have to wait until tomorrow. Fangyuan can’t wait now.

After leaving the radio factory, Fangyuan rode his bicycle straight to Dongzhimen.

Fangyuan still went to Miyun this time, or to find the old village chief, no, to be precise, to find the old village chief's son.

The uncle who used to be a militia company commander.

Fangyuan said before that he went to the mountains to catch wild boars, but the old village chief said it was dangerous. Then Fangyuan asked his uncle that he used to be a militia company commander, so he should have a gun in his hand! Why don't you use a gun to hunt?

You must know that gun control was not strict in this era. In the 1980s and 1990s, many people still had guns in their hands.

The uncle told him at that time that unlike other places around the imperial capital, guns had been collected once after liberation, especially rifles.

After the first collection, the common people only had gunpowder guns for hunting, that is, shotguns. Later, in 1954 and 1957, there were two more collections, and the common people didn't even have the gunpowder guns.<

/p>

This is also the reason why Fangyuan went to Mr. Xu to borrow a gun, but that’s right! If ordinary people had guns in their hands, how could they not go hunting wild boars?

But he didn't expect that Mr. Xu didn't lend it to him, but Mr. Li lent him the gun and gave him a large box of ammunition.

This is not a standard bullet box. A standard bullet box only has fifty rounds per box, but this is a special bullet box.

It is the kind used by sharpshooters during wars. During the war, the bullets are tightly attached to the sharpshooters, so the sharpshooters have many more bullets than others.

In order to make it easier to carry, I got these special bullet boxes, each containing 200 rounds.

After arriving at Dongzhimen, Fangyuan rode his bicycle through the alley again. When he came out again, the bicycle was gone.

When he ran to the bus stop, Fangyuan breathed a sigh of relief because he saw a bus stopping there with people getting on and off.

Fangyuan quickly got on the bus, and without waiting for the conductor to call, he went over to buy a ticket, and then found a place to sit down behind the conductor's seat.

After all, he is just a child, so he still has to consider safety.

Almost half an hour after Fangyuan got on the bus, the bus started moving. After another few hours of bumpy ride, Fangyuan arrived at Miyun County.

At this time, it was almost dark, and Fangyuan did not stop. It was better to be dark, which was just enough to cover up, so he walked directly outside the county seat.

The mountain village is not very far from the county seat, so Fangyuan did not take out the bicycle.

If you just walk, you won't attract anyone's attention, but if you ride a bicycle, it will be too eye-catching.

Ten minutes later, Fangyuan arrived outside the mountain village, and at this time, it was just getting dark.

Before entering the village, Fangyuan took out two boxes, one large and one small, and carried them into the village.

There are only two meals a day in the village, so someone should have rested by this time. Even if they didn't rest, they should be in a resting place.

So Fangyuan didn't go to the old village chief's house, but went directly to the granary, because the uncle was here to look at the granary.

Sure enough, when he came to the door of the granary, Fangyuan knocked on the door, and the uncle opened the door from the inside.

Seeing Fangyuan, the uncle asked in surprise: "Fangyuan! Why is it you?"

"What's wrong, uncle, is it weird?"

Hearing what Fangyuan said, the uncle smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't it strange? Why did you come here at this time?"

"I'm coming to see you, uncle!"

"Looking for me? Are you sure you're not looking for my dad but me?" the uncle asked in disbelief.

"Of course, I'm sure. I'm here to see you this time. Can you please take a look at what this is?" Fangyuan handed the big box to the uncle.

"What is this?"

"Open it and take a look."

Hearing what Fangyuan said, the uncle glanced at him and opened the box with regret.

As soon as he opened the box, the uncle's eyes lit up and he shouted: "Gun!"

"Yes, it's the gun, and there's also this." Fangyuan handed over the small box again.

The uncle did not answer, but looked at Fangyuan and asked: "Fangyuan, what are you doing? You must know that this thing cannot be used indiscriminately."

"I know, I just want you to go into the mountains and hunt a few wild boars."

"Hunting wild boars!" When Fangyuan said hunting wild boars, the uncle was obviously relieved.

"Yes, how's it going? Is it okay to shoot wild boar with this gun?"

"Of course there is no problem. This is a rifle produced by our country. Although the range is not as far as that of foreign countries, it is very powerful."

It seems that the uncle is very knowledgeable about guns. He can tell what kind of gun it is at a glance, and even knows its performance. As a militia company commander, if he doesn't even know this, he is too unqualified.

"Hahaha! Okay, let's go into the mountains tomorrow."

"Ah! Are you going tomorrow?" The uncle looked at Fang Yuan in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Fangyuan asked regretfully.

"Aren't we going to make preparations? For example, bring some anti-snake and insect medicine or something?" the uncle said, looking at Fang Yuan.

"No, with this weather, it's not yet time for snakes and insects to come out. Besides, we're just going to catch a few wild boars, and we don't have to go too deep into the mountains."

Hearing what Fangyuan said, the uncle nodded and said, "That's true. That's okay. Let's go tomorrow morning."

"Yeah! But we need to call a few more people, otherwise how will we get it back!"

"Yes, yes, I will take care of this. I will go and inform you now and ask them to come here tomorrow morning." The uncle handed the gun to Fang Yuan and said.

"Hmm!"

The uncle went out, and I don’t know who was notified. It was more than half an hour before the uncle came back from outside.

At night, Fangyuan also stayed in the granary. Now that it's not cold anymore, living in the granary is pretty good.

Early the next morning, as soon as Fangyuan woke up, she heard someone talking outside, and Fangyuan quickly got up from the bed.

I put on my coat, opened the door and took a look. There were already more than a dozen people standing outside, and they were all young and strong people.

The youngest were in their twenties, and the oldest were no more than forty. When these people saw Fangyuan coming out, they all turned their heads.

"Are you up?" The uncle came over and said.

"Yeah!" Fang Yuan nodded.

"My dad is cooking. Let's have something to eat before we set off."

"Okay."

It is probably because Fangyuan and the others are going into the mountains and the old village chief specially cooked the meal for them, otherwise it would not be meal time at all.

While Fangyuan and the others were talking, the old village chief and a young man came over carrying a porcelain basin.

The porcelain basin was filled with steaming sweet potato tea. The old village chief put the porcelain basin down and took off the basket on his other arm.

There were bowls and chopsticks in the basket. After the young man put down the porcelain basin, he quickly took the basket and began to distribute bowls and chopsticks to everyone.

"Be careful when you go into the mountains. If you encounter a group of wild boars, don't move. Leave as soon as possible."

The old village chief grew up in the mountains and knows very well about wild boars.
