Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 568

Chapter 568

Few people can compare to Lu Lu's understanding of sticks.

Naturally, Lu Lu was indispensable for selling clubs.

After some discussion, Chen Xiuqing and Liang Kangbo were left guarding by the tent, and Yuan Bao was also left behind. Lu Lu led Zhao Yongke and Zhang Shaofeng, and brought six fourth-grade leaf sticks and two fifth-grade leaf sticks , Went to Wuchang city.

There are too many things, and if you sell them all at once, you are afraid that people will not be able to pay that much money, and it is too easy to attract the attention of others.Lu Lu's semi-automatic can't be brought into the city blatantly, so naturally he has to stay.

Guns and ammunition are in abundance, and a large number of people have guns on hand. At this time, the higher authorities have actually realized the danger, and the control has become stricter, and some places have already confiscated them to a certain extent.

The chaotic situation of civilians holding guns has led to frequent occurrence of gun crimes.

The most typical one is the robbery and murder case of the "two kings" in the Northeast.

As the saying goes, follow me with the gun in hand.

After the "two kings" stole the army's pistols, this year ([-]), from February to September, they traveled to several provinces, committing crimes in succession, killing and injuring dozens of people.

This incident is so famous that the gang of two was finally shot dead after being surrounded by [-] policemen in Guangchang.

As a person who had played with guns in the Northeast in his previous life, Lu Lu naturally knew about this matter. Now that he was on the cusp of the crisis, he naturally would not touch such a brow and make fun of himself.

There are many similar cases, and some criminals even robbed the streets with their guns and became notorious road tyrants.

In addition to armed robbery, even the fighting in the countryside has become bloody and brutal due to the proliferation of guns.

After the reform and opening up, there have been more and more interest disputes under the market economy. In order to compete for resources such as minerals, cultivated land, and barren hills, conflicts often broke out among rural villages, leading to large-scale fighting.

Many people took out the shotguns they usually use for hunting to participate in the fighting, and some villagers even equipped with more dangerous weapons such as earthen cannons and explosives. have happened.

It is precisely because of this that in [-], the gun management measures were promulgated, which began to restrict the proliferation of guns.

In addition, in [-], guns across the country were cleared and registered, and a large number of illegal guns were seized.

The ban on guns has already begun, but it is not a complete ban on guns.

This is also the reason why guns sold publicly in stores were removed from the shelves before, and the control is constantly increasing.

Only a few places, where there are many nomads, are relatively loose.

How can there be any quiet time, especially in the wilderness.

The firearms of Lu Lu, Chen Xiuqing, and Liang Kangbo were not registered or recorded, and they did not have a license to hold them. Bringing them into the city rashly is simply asking for trouble.

However, Zhao Yongke can. As an Oroqen native, he can legally hold a gun. The Type [-] and [-] semi-automatic rifles in his hand were issued by the government.

Zhang Shaofeng can also, he has a gun license, and as the security director, he manages the militia and weapon depots in the village. He has a background, so naturally there is no problem.

This is why Lu Lu brought the two of them along.

As for Lu Lu himself, he only brought his three Oroqen hunting knives.

The three of them rode horses all the way into Wuchang City. As they entered, they were interrogated by the police. After registering, they quickly let them go. They just reminded Zhao Yongke and Zhang Shaofeng to keep their guns in check.

Lu Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and led the people straight to the purchase station of the state-run store. They came too early, and most of the shops in the city they passed along the way had not opened their doors. The three of them could only choose to wait. At the food stall opposite the store, one person ordered a bowl of noodles and ate them slowly.

After eating, seeing that it was almost time, I arrived at the gate of the purchasing station ahead of time and waited.

It is located on the edge of a mountain, and there are quite a few people carrying clubs, hunting, and collecting herbs. Many people came here at this time, and it didn't take long for more than 20 people to gather.

When the gate of the purchase station opened, a crowd of people rushed in.

This made the three of them speechless. They came first, but they were squeezed to the back, so they didn't line up to say, whoever can grab the front will come first.Lu Lu simply let Chen Xiuqing and Zhang Shaofeng squeeze together, and he went around to the front side and tiptoed to see people selling goods and scouting prices.

There were quite a few people who came to sell clubs, but most of them were seedlings that were not worth a few dollars. After looking for a while, Lu Lu only saw one with two fourth-grade leaf clubs for sale.

This purchasing station is responsible for the purchase of two veterans, who are very accurate in judging the quality, shape, and even the year of the mallets, and the prices offered are quite reasonable. Therefore, after Zhang Shaofeng and Chen Xiuqing's turn, six fourth-grade leaves The mallet was sold directly under his signal.

Six fourth-grade leaf mallets are in good condition, and the age is also high. The price given is also very good, and it looks like 3000 yuan in hand.

This is also the reason why two of these two fourth-grade leaves are already very old and have a lot of weight.

Otherwise, one will only cost 400 yuan, and the relatively small ones will cost around [-] yuan.

Afterwards, the three of them left without stopping. They asked someone on the street where the time-honored pharmacy was located in the city, and they immediately searched for it along the street.

Not far away, Zhang Shaofeng suddenly bumped into Lu Lu lightly: "Look!"

Lu Lu, who was looking at the shops on both sides of the street, glanced in the direction indicated by Zhang Shaofeng, and saw a young man and several people of the same age, shoulder to shoulder, entering a nearby restaurant.

It was the old man's youngest son.

However, this kid didn't have any injuries on his body, and he talked and laughed with others, as if he didn't know that his father had died on the mountain.

"When he was on the mountain, his father was obviously killed by someone. It stands to reason that the three of them should have entered and exited the mountain together. If it was done by an outsider, it is impossible for him to be fine."

Zhang Shaofeng looked around: "I didn't see his elder brother either... Could it be..."

"You want to say that they carried the big goods, and then this kid saw the money, and his father and his brother... were killed by him?" What Zhao Yongke said, even he himself couldn't believe it: " Can't it be?"

"It's hard to say. When this kid met each other that day, he just said those two sentences. He is not a quiet person. The old five took the old sign we were looking for, and the surrounding area was all carried to big goods. It stands to reason that he was The two who are the first three of their masters should also have big goods... For money, some people can really do anything."

Zhang Shaofeng did not rule out this possibility: "I have heard this kind of thing from the elders before, and there are also gold panners, in order to monopolize the dog's head gold or gold sand they got, it is not uncommon to start with their own relatives."

But Lu Lu shook his head: "Don't worry so much, whether they are dead or alive has nothing to do with us, the important thing is that this kid has seen us in the mountains... Avoid him, don't let him see him."

He was even more worried about being seen by this kid and causing trouble for himself.

A group of people carried a lot of valuable clubs, and most of them went into the mountains to carry the clubs, and most of them moved secretly, so they avoided snatching the top of the mountain with others. Even if they met, they seldom spoke, let alone exchanged names easily, and inquired about each other's identities.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Lu and the others did not know the name of the third man, where he was from, and when they left the mountain, they did not choose to go to the direction of Weihe Town, but to the Wuchang side, not only to facilitate the sale of sticks, but also to hide whereabouts.

Being missed is not a good thing.

But he didn't expect to bump into that kid here.

Lu Lu didn't want to make publicity, so he directly led Zhang Shaofeng and Zhao Yongke into the alleyway, bypassing the restaurant, and then returned to the street again, and continued to walk to the Rongxiang traditional Chinese medicine shop pointed by passers-by, but it didn't take long I found it.

Early in the morning, there were only two patients in the shop.

An old Chinese doctor with gray hair is feeling the pulse of a person. Watching him talk to a patient gives a very kind feeling.

The three of them sat down on the long chair beside them without urging them, and waited patiently.

After a while, he finally saw the two patients and took the medicine, then he walked up to Lu Lu and the other three, and asked with a smile, "Are you three seeing the doctor or taking the medicine?"

Lu Lu also smiled at him: "I carried two clubs on the mountain, and I want to come here to ask you if I will take them or not!"

"wooden club?"

The old Chinese doctor turned his head and looked outside the room, then sized up the three of them for a while, then turned to them and said, "Go inside and talk."

Lu Lu knew there was something going on as soon as he heard it.

In terms of stick trading, the control has always been very strict. Private individuals can also trade some small goods such as Erjiazi and Dengtaizi. When they reach the fourth grade of leaves, they can either go to the medicinal material purchasing company or the state-owned purchasing station. The control is strict. , mainly to earn foreign exchange.

Besides, things that have always been good will not be allowed to wander among the people, and many people are staring at them.

In the city, the state-run pharmacies only accept medicinal materials, while the purchasing stations of the supply and marketing cooperatives accept everything, including all kinds of fur and mountain products.

But there are always other channels to jump out of these restrictions, and things are done secretly.

Some people will entrust knowledgeable people to go directly to famous veterans for private purchases, and some people will entrust such well-known old Chinese medicine shops to purchase. After all, they have a wide network of contacts.

Of course, whether it is the purchasing station of the supply and marketing cooperative or the medicinal material purchasing company, they can also handle this matter. The purchasing staff in them also have their own contacts. Of course, private commissions are also indispensable.

Lu Lu chose this place mainly to find out the prices of private individuals and purchasing stations.

The old Chinese doctor called an apprentice to greet him at the front, and he led a few people to the living room in the backyard, poured tea for the three of them politely, asked the three to sit down, and said directly: "This stick, there is indeed A few people from other places asked me to help collect them. If there are high-grade clubs, I can give you a high price here.

But if it's small goods like Sanhua, Erjiazi, and Dengtaizi, I don't accept them here. Even if I accept them, the price I give will not be higher than that offered by the buying station. "

Take the big and keep the small ones to carry the mallet, don't look at Sanhua as a small twister, but there are still people who dig it up and sell it, earning two or three dollars.As for the five-leaf slap, it has a bad meaning, so there are very few people digging it, and old Chinese doctors know how to do it, so I don’t mention it directly.

But those Erjiazi and lampstands are not big goods, most of them are only seven or eight grams or ten grams, and one can sell for two or thirty yuan.

The meaning of the old Chinese medicine doctor is actually very clear, only four grades of leaves and above are accepted.

It's telling the truth.

"Two taels or so, I can get to seven hundred and five here. Two taels of a stick is a dividing line, and if you go up, you can get a lot of money if you add one tael, that's double the price. If you are in good shape, you can even be taller..." the old Chinese doctor added.

Two taels, that's one hundred grams, and five grams cost a penny.

This is indeed a bit higher than the price offered by the buying site, but it is actually too high, not much higher than last year's!

The old Chinese doctor looked at the three of them without any sense of expectation on his face.

There are so many people carrying clubs, but very few of them sell big ones. What kind of shit luck does it take to dig up a few seedlings. Few of those who come to him to sell clubs can produce something decent.

Lu Lu did not scribble, took off the hunting bag on his back, and took out the two sealed buns inside.

The old Chinese doctor was sitting opposite, blowing the tea in the cup while looking at the sealed buns that Lu Lu opened on the table.

The bark was unfolded, and the moss wrapped inside was removed. When he saw the mallet, the old Chinese doctor was stunned for a moment, and then went to Lu Lu's side: "My God, it's really big, amazing!"

Lu Lu just smiled slightly: "You always give palms, see what price you can give?"

"Good stuff..." The old Chinese doctor leaned in front of the two fifth-grade leaf sticks, and said pleasantly: "These two sticks are very old. I'm afraid they will be sixth-grade leaves in a few years."

Afterwards, he ran outside and brought in the scales for weighing medicinal materials.
