In summer, the sky is vaguely bright, and the seaside is not too dark, but I saw that there were people gathering outside the door and waiting there.
When he saw Li Meng open the door, he stood up from the wheelbarrow and looked at him with a smile. Li Meng asked with some confusion:
"Why are you here so early? There is still some time left, why don't you sleep more?"
"I thought this was my own business and I couldn't sleep in bed, so I just came here early."
After Chen Liuzi said this, the scene was suddenly noisy, and everyone agreed, all of whom were very energetic. Li Meng was also happy and said with a smile:
"That's it, let's leave early and I'll invite everyone to drink at noon!"
Everyone applauded and began to move salt to the chicken bus with all their strength. Li Meng carefully checked it, but no one forgot that sharpened bamboo pole was inserted obliquely on the wheelbarrow, as if it was a flagpole.
Li Meng bought some noodles in Fengmeng Town yesterday and gave them to everyone to eat. Then a group of people rushed on the road excitedly. Everyone pushed more salt on the way today than yesterday, but no one felt tired. They were pushing in a very relaxed state, and they were still joking with each other.
This path winds between hills and low mountains. In midsummer, the shrubs grow thickly, and the only annoying thing is mosquitoes. On both sides of such a road, they are covered by the grass and trees on the low mountains, and they are not far away. Only the front and back view is more open.
Today was faster than yesterday. Everyone's journey was speeding up. After a simple rest halfway, they continued to rush. Li Meng thought that he was about to arrive in Fengmeng Town in less than half an hour. Just when everyone was about to hurry up, he saw more than a dozen people standing up from the side of the road not far away and walking towards this side.
Wang Hai, who was behind him, also saw that the wheelbarrow in his hand was not held and turned to the roadside. Wang Hai said tremblingly:
"Salt Dog, Salt Dog!!"
Except for Li Meng, the others were panicked. The other party obviously chose this section of the road to start because everyone had just walked a long downhill. On the downhill, people tried hard to control the wheelbarrow to not slide, which was very exhausting.
Even if you turn around and run back now, don't try to save the salt product. The person who has just passed a difficult journey will be easily caught up by the salt product in front of you who are waiting to work.
Li Meng reached out and pulled out his long bamboo pole from the car. All his companions saw the salt dice coming over there. The salt dice that came out with Li Meng a month ago were fine. They turned their heads and stared at Li Meng. When he made up his mind, the new ones were obviously panicking.
"Pick out all my bamboo poles, take them like me, and stand here!"
Seeing so many people trusting themselves so much, Li Meng was really moved. Zhao Neng and Chen Liuzi did what Li Meng said, holding the sharpened bamboo pole and approaching Li Meng. Wang Hai is young and although he has experienced something, he is still scared. However, he still resisted his fear, held the bamboo pole in both hands and stood at Li Meng's side. A newcomer couldn't bear it. He shouted "Oh" and threw the wheelbarrow in his hand, turning around and running.
When he ran, Li Meng's reaction was faster than that of him. When the bamboo pole in his hand flipped, he slashed it directly. The bamboo pole was ten feet long. The man ran a few steps and was thrust on his shoulder by the bamboo pole. He was directly pulled to the ground. Li Meng was not ruthless and thrust twice.
The person who ran away first was beaten and shouted loudly, and Li Meng shouted coldly:
"If you run away, we will cut it with a knife. You just run home. Do you think we don't know where your home lives?"
This direct threat, and the deeds of Li Meng, the restlessness of these military households immediately became quiet. They took the bamboo pole and came to Li Meng with the bamboo pole. Even the one who ran first pulled out the bamboo pole and came to Li Meng in disappointment.
There were twelve Yanding people walking over there, all of whom were holding short weapons such as waist knives, iron rulers, axes, etc. They started to watch the person running. They accelerated their pace. When they saw most of them gathering in the middle of the road with bamboo poles, they felt a little puzzled and couldn't help but stop and stop moving.
At the end, when they saw these private salt dealers standing in front of the chicken bus, holding an old bamboo pole in their hands, they finally confirmed that the military households of Lingshan Guard were frightened. The salt products of these military households might be bought at a good price. The number of single households who usually set up checkpoints to stop them is much larger. It seems that they are going to make a fortune this time.
These salt dicks couldn't help laughing and slowly approached. They were worried that these dozens of carts of salt would have to push them to Fengmeng Town by themselves, so they would just let these fools push the carts, but they had to beat them hard before they could beat them up. Do you still want to resist with the bamboo pole? It made the old man unhappy and cut your head directly.
"These are all our own salt products. We have worked hard to collect them, and we have worked hard to travel so many miles to deliver them. Everyone has all the members of the salt products. If they run away, they will have to be cheap. If they follow us to our garrison, their family will be in trouble!"
Li Meng could feel the fear of these people around him. He kept saying his interests and had to admit that the decision he proposed yesterday was a stroke of great success. Everyone had some members in this transaction of selling private salt. They were afraid that these young people thought that if they ran away, the salt goods brought by hard work would fall into the hands of these evil salt dogs on the other side, and their anger slowly rose up.
At least the few people who were just next to Li Meng did not tremble anymore, and the salt dicks were not in a hurry to chase after them. They slowly walked up. Everyone could clearly see the grim smile on their faces. These salt dicks were not for production and were specifically plundering, just like blood-sucking mosquitoes and beasts, which made people become more and more angry the more they looked at them.
"Put the bamboo poles in your hand flat, follow me so flat, don't worry, I can't squeeze in here, just stand in a row behind, stick out the bamboo poles along the gap, and hold them flat!"
Li Meng shouted loudly there, and the companions around him did as they did one by one. They were more nervous than Li Meng. The only thing they could do at the moment was to do mechanically as Li Meng shouted. They followed suit whenever Li Meng said. However, Chen Liuzi was a little calmer. He was just wondering why Li Meng didn't use the waist knife on his back, and insisted on holding a sharpened bamboo pole. It was so strange.
