Jiang Zewei came very early, even earlier than Chen Xiuqing.
He followed the road to the fork outside Lulu Meadow and stopped. He tied the donkey to a tree, lit a cigarette pot and smoked.
It was pitch dark in the woods, and all he could see was the flickering of tobacco pipes and pots, which were just like his excited mood at this time, one after another.
He waited for more than half an hour until the sound of horse hooves was heard on the road. Jiang Zewei stood up, tilted his head and looked along the road: "Who is it!"
Recognizing Jiang Zewei's voice, Chen Xiuqing shouted from a distance: "Uncle Jiang, I'm Qingzi... You came really early, why don't you go in!"
"I guess Xiao Lu hasn't woken up yet, so just wait a little longer!" Jiang Zewei knocked the pipe pot against the trunk of a small tree next to him and shook off the cigarette residue inside.
"Brother Lu is very early. He said that if you come early, you won't have to get up late. When I came several times, his food was almost ready!"
Chen Xiuqing led the horse towards the meadow inside: "Maybe they will be waiting for us now!"
Jiang Zewei was stunned for a moment, then untied the rope that tied the donkey, and followed Chen Xiuqing inside. He heard the barking of dogs in the distance, and when he came out of the forest, he saw Lu Lu's wooden carvings brightly lit from a distance.
You can smell the food.
He nodded approvingly: What a diligent person!
When Lu Lu heard the dog barking, he quickly came out, opened the fence door, and welcomed Jiang Zewei and Chen Xiuqing in.
"Xiao Lu, have we found enough people?" Jiang Zewei is most concerned about this question.
"What a coincidence. When I came back yesterday and was wondering who to look for, Liang Pao from Huilongtun came and said he wanted to come with us."
Things went more smoothly than expected, and Lu Lu was in a good mood.
"Liang Kangbo...good, very good!"
Another powerful person has arrived, and Jiang Zewei is also very happy.
While talking, Zhao Yongke also rode his Oroqen horse down the ridge and down the hillside: "It's quite early!"
"Okay, the food has been prepared. Let's eat quickly and leave early while the weather is cool!"
Lu Lu didn't do any ink and asked a few people to go into the house.
On the Kang table, there is a large table of hot food. It cannot be cooked without working for an hour or two.
Chen Xiuyu greeted the few people who came in, and quickly brought the bowls and chopsticks. Without saying anything, they got on the Kang and started eating.
"Uncle, where are we going this time?"
It doesn't make sense that we are already preparing to leave and we still don't know where our destination is.
I would just like to say that Changbai Mountain is a huge area. It stretches over two or three provinces and includes many mountains.
Lu Lu initially estimated that it should not have gone beyond the scope of HLJ.
Then it is very likely that it is Zhangguangcai Ridge or Wanda Mountain. These places belong to the Changbai Mountains.
"The place we went to was Sanbaldingzi..."
Jiang Zewei said casually: "That's what the locals call it."
Lu Lu thought for a moment: "Are you talking about the three bald men in Zhang Guangcailing?"
"Yes!" Jiang Zewei nodded: "We have to get to Shangzhi first."
Lu Lu didn't ask any more questions and thought about it carefully. It was only about four or five hundred kilometers from Yichun to Shangzhi. It wasn't particularly far, but it was just a little off from the Bird's Nest Island he wanted to go to.
Sanbaldingzi is one of the main peaks of Zhang Guangcai Ridge. It is a steep, winding mountain with deep mountains and dense forests. Even in later generations, it was a place with towering ancient trees and inaccessible places.
The best thing is that the wildlife is very rich, and it is indeed a good place for hunting. However, the terrain and environment are too complex, and the risks associated with it are much greater.
Not to mention this day and age!
Lu Lu thought to himself: You must not be careless on this trip.
Originally, he was thinking of going to Wanda Mountain to meet Raymond and then enter Changbai Mountain. Now that he thought about it, he would have to walk three to four hundred kilometers, so he could only consider coming back from Santudingzi.
The few people quickly filled their stomachs and packed their things. Zhao Yongke and Chen Xiuqing got on their horses, while Jiang Zewei rode on his little donkey and went out of the gate first.
Lu Lu turned over and rode on Zhui Feng. He looked back at Chen Xiuyu who was standing at the door eagerly. Feeling a little unbearable, he turned over and jumped down again. He walked to Chen Xiuyu and stretched out his arms to hug her: "Be at home and wait for me to come back."
!”
"Be careful on the road, Brother Lu!"
The person in his arms nodded slightly. After Lu Lu kissed her forehead, he got on Zhui Feng and chased towards the woods outside.
Zhao Yongke also took Heizui with him, joined Yuanbao and the others, and when he saw Lu Lu running away on horseback, he immediately stepped forward and ran happily.
The reason why Lu Lu and the others chose to ride horses was because they had guns on them and it was difficult to ride in a car. They had to go around many places to avoid inspections along the way. Jiang Zewei rode a donkey simply because of his inconvenience.
However, it was precisely because of the donkey Jiang Zewei was riding that he was destined to not be able to go any faster.
When they met Liang Kangbo, who had been waiting for a long time in Huilongtun, the five of them walked slowly, unable to run even if they wanted to, so they could only patiently follow Jiang Zewei.
After finally reaching the district, Lu Lu had to stop.
"No, we have to find a car. Otherwise, from here to Shangzhi, we have to go through Yichun, Tieli, Suihua, then to Harbin, and finally to Shangzhi. This is a distance of four to five hundred kilometers. I don't know how to walk.
In what year and month."
Even Jiang Zewei's little donkey can't walk much faster than a person walking.
Moreover, in the state of a donkey, carrying Jiang Zewei on his back at this speed, he could only walk forty or fifty kilometers in a day without eating or drinking. This is an animal, how could he not eat or drink?
It's just a one-way trip, and it really takes ten days and a half.
"We have to find a car that can help pull a section of the car!" Lu Lu made a decision.
"Uncle Jiang doesn't have a gun or anything on him, I think it's okay! And these dogs, running down such a long way will be enough!"
Liang Kangbo also agreed with this approach: "Go to the team to borrow a car!"
"Team? You still need to go back and get proof!" Lu Lu was thinking about taking a ride and paying some money. This is not difficult. The reason why drivers are awesome is not only because there are few people who can drive.
It’s also a great career where you can make extra money easily.
"Don't be so troublesome. I have an acquaintance in the team who is in charge of the team. He is also an educated youth. A few years ago, he was hunting in the mountains and was trapped in a tree by a pack of wolves. I saved him that time..."
Hearing what Liang Kangbo said, Lu Lu couldn't help but his eyes lit up. With this kind of relationship, things would be much easier to handle.
Liang Kangbo immediately led a group of people towards the motorcade. When they arrived in front of the motorcade's office building, he went in by himself. After a while, he was seen leading tall and thin men out one by one, pointing at the place where Lu Lu and the others were at the gate.
Click, and then Liang Kangbo ran back.
"It's done, prepare two cars for us, get everyone and the animals in the car, and send them directly to Shangzhi. We just need to pay for some gas and the driver's food. We'll also get the passing certificate and so on.
There’s a way to hide a gun!”
Liang Kangbo said happily.
"It saves trouble now!" Lu Lu laughed.
It's just some gas money, it doesn't cost much.
Not long after, two cars drove out of the convoy, and the two young drivers found a ridge that was about the same height as the car's buttocks and waved a few people on to the car.
The six dogs, Zhui Feng and Jiang Zewei's donkey, were placed in the same car. Only Lu Lu could handle these dogs, and the horses of the other three people got into another car.
When Jiang Zewei was asked to enter the cab, Jiang Zewei shook his head. He pulled Lu Lu aside: "Xiao Lu, you sit in the carriage with me, and I will talk to you about carrying the mallet."
He obviously didn't want others to know these things, so he took Lu Lu aside specifically.
Lu Lu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
After briefly explaining to a few people, Lu Lu helped Jiang Zewei get into the carriage and sat in the innermost position. He put the bedding packed in nylon bags with him on the carriage and sat on it, which was quite soft.
The roads in the Northeast have been extensively rolled and repaired, making them very smooth and not bumpy when driving on them.
After walking for a while, Jiang Zewei smoked a pack of dry cigarettes and took out a stack of old linear notebooks from his arms: "Keep this thing."
Lu Lu took it and looked at it, and found that it was not just an ordinary paper book, but carefully made of animal skin. It was initially determined that it should be roe deer skin.
Lu Lu flipped it through casually and found that there were only a few pages inside, filled with densely packed pictures and marked with densely packed red dots and black lines.
It seems that time has passed very long ago, and most of the dots and lines in it have been very blurred, and some have been newly added.
The person who drew this map is quite capable. At least Lu Lu could recognize the places drawn in the map after taking a rough look at them, which are Changbai Mountain, Wanda Mountain, Zhang Guangcai Ridge, and the border beyond Changbai Mountain. There are even
Some areas in the Far East.
There are no words on it, just various mountain lines.
"What is this?" Lu Lu had some guesses in his mind, but he couldn't help but ask.
"This is an animal skin book that I got by chance. Those dots are where the sticks were found in the mountains, and the black lines are the paths to get there. Preliminary estimation is that this is something left by powerful people who participated in the gang in the past. The records are
A great place."
When Jiang Zewei said this, he paused and rolled himself a dry cigarette and lit it: "The Shen Gang in the past was really a gang. It was rich and powerful. It's not like now, where you can just pick up a few people and call it a Shen Gang.
.”
Lu Lu secretly thought: Sure enough!
He has never seen the previous Shen Gang, but he has heard a lot of rumors. The Shen Gang that was formed is amazing. The big Shen Gang controls a large number of Fangshan people, who can single-handedly control the circulation and price of sticks.
Not everyone has the ability to become the veteran leader of the Shen Gang. Those who can become the veteran leader must be someone with considerable experience.
They have many places in their heads where they have obtained mallets, including places where they have collected mallets themselves, and places where they have heard of them accidentally from others or were told by their elders.
Except for winter, they spend most of the rest of the time in the mountains. They go to many places, wherever there are sticks, and there are too many places in their heads.
Looking at the dense dots and lines on the picture, it is a huge amount, which is not something that can be easily memorized.
I can't remember it in my head, but it is recorded in the form of an animal skin book, but it is normal. Moreover, this picture has obviously been synthesized in some way. It is not just the record of a certain person. This is not something ordinary people can do.
