Chapter 182 Enemies meet on a narrow road
A Kun was watching a few waiters putting fresh produce into the sink. When he heard that Li Changle had brought jellyfish brains, he hurriedly followed A Sheng to the kitchen yard.

"Let me see, did you really get jellyfish blood?"

Li Changle handed over the cigarette with a smile, opened the lid and removed the old cotton wool covering it, "There are more than ten pounds of jellyfish blood. I plan to dry half of it and sell it at home. The rest is all here."

"Fuck! That's a lot! How many jellyfish did you get?"

"I harvested some. There were nearly 20,000 kilograms of jellyfish in total, and I only picked this much." Li Changle looked at him, "Uncle, if there are too many, I can take some back and dry them to sell later?"

“Not much, not much!” A Kun said with a smile, “The ones we bought last time were all dried. The fresh ones like this weigh one or two kilograms, and it’s very troublesome to store them.”

"That's good. I still have a lot of jellyfish at home. I'll send some to you after they're pickled."

"Okay!" Ah Kun took a puff of his cigarette. "Jellyfish brains are 60 cents a pound, jellyfish lining is 1.8 yuan, and jellyfish blood is 12 yuan. Send the remaining jellyfish blood to me tomorrow."

"OK!"

Li Changle didn't expect that jellyfish blood could be sold at such a price these days. He smiled happily and helped Asheng lift the bucket onto the scale to weigh it.

After the skin was removed, there were 111 kilograms of jellyfish brains, which were sold for 402 yuan, kilograms of jellyfish lining were sold for yuan, and kilograms of jellyfish blood were sold for yuan, for a total of yuan.

I brought over the dozen pounds of jellyfish blood at home to sell, and made a profit in addition to the capital I invested.

Li Changle put the money away, pushed the tricycle out of the backyard of the restaurant with a smile on his face, and went to the agricultural supplies company to buy a tarpaulin.

When I came out, I saw that it was already dark, so I rode my tricycle to the intersection ahead to buy some steamed buns.

You have to do what you promised to your children, otherwise they will not be motivated to do the work next time.

I arrived at the sesame cake stall and ordered twenty cakes. I ate one while waiting for the stall owner to make the cakes. After more than ten minutes, the hot cakes came out of the oven.

Li Changle paid the money, took the pancake, put it in the bucket, covered it, and rode the tricycle towards the road at the south end.

The dark-faced young man squatting at the intersection saw him riding his tricycle past. After being stunned for a moment, he patted Liu Ashui who was talking to someone nearby.

"Brother Shui, look, the country bumpkin who made you lose your job is riding over on a tricycle."

Liu A Shui turned his head to take a look, then stood up and pulled the man squatting next to him, "A Jun, let's go, go to the closer road and stop that bastard." After that, he ran away.

"What's wrong? Who are you going to stop?" Ajun, with a face full of flesh, followed.

"He came from the fishing village to sell fish. He was the one who made me lose my job. I saw him delivering goods to the Phoenix Restaurant."

"You're from a fishing village, why would you be afraid of him? Beat him up and make him give you his tricycle as compensation!"

Liu Ashui and the other two walked through the alleys, twisting and turning, and rushed to the entrance of the alley, just in time to see Li Changle riding a tricycle coming from the other side.

The three of them lined up to block the road. Liu Ah Shui pointed at him with a stick he had picked up from the roadside and shouted, "You stinky fisherman, get off here!"

Li Changle stepped on the brake to stop the tricycle, looked at Liu Ashui who was pointing at him with resentment, and the man with the fat face and the dark face, and thought to himself that things were not good.

I turned my head and looked at the narrow alley, regretting not riding Awei's bicycle.

You can't avoid it, so you have to do it!
Li Changle glanced at the chain lock hanging on the faucet, reached out and quickly picked up the key, wrapped the chain lock around his hand, and looked at the street where there was no one else except the three thugs.

"You stinky fisherman, you made me lose my job, how am I going to settle this account!" Seeing that he stopped and did not dare to step forward, Liu Ashui smugly imitated the boss in Hong Kong dramas and walked towards him while tapping his palms with a wooden stick.

Ah Jun and Hei Lian followed him from left to right, "Brother Shui, let him leave the tricycle behind and then we'll let him go."

"Yes, leave the tricycle behind and compensate Brother Shui for his losses!" The dark-faced man shouted at Li Changle.

If the three of them understood that bad people usually die because they talk too much, they wouldn't talk so much nonsense.

Li Changle looked at the three people without saying a word, tightened the chain lock in his hand, suddenly increased his speed, pedaled the tricycle straight towards Liu Ashui who was holding a wooden stick, and the chain lock in his hand made a whirring sound.

Liu Ashui and the other two were frightened by the three-wheeled vehicle rushing towards them, the chain lock swung by Li Changle, and the big padlock on it. If they were hit, their watermelons would definitely burst.

Ajun and Hei Lian hurriedly raised their hands to block and quickly dodged to the side. Liu A Shui was hit and knocked to the ground by the three-wheeled vehicle that rushed over. Hei Lian couldn't dodge in time and was also hit. He held his hand and screamed in pain.

Li Changle swung the chain lock and pedaled the tricycle to quickly rush over Liu Ashui who was lying on the ground. He was so scared that he rolled on the ground, got up and ran away.

Ah Jun jumped to the side and rushed forward to pull the tricycle board, but was frightened by the whirring chain lock swung by him and retreated. When he looked again, Li Changle had already pedaled the tricycle and ran a long way away.

"Fishmonger, don't let me meet you next time!" Liu Ashui got up and threatened the tricycle.

Li Changle rode his tricycle onto the road. Seeing that no one was catching up with him, he slowed down, wiped the sweat from his head and face, took out his water bottle and took a few sips, and continued on his way.

When we got home, Zhou Ruonan came out to greet us, "Are you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry. I bought some steamed buns." Li Changle handed the bucket to her. "There's still some in it. Share it with everyone." When he came out with the tarpaulin, the eldest and second brothers Li came out with steamed buns in their mouths. When they learned that they sold it for 400 yuan, they happily stuffed the buns into their mouths, took the tarpaulin attentively, and went to cover the water tanks in the yard.

After the tarpaulin was covered, they took out the fishing rope, tied the tarpaulin and the water tank together, and pressed stones on them. There was no need to worry about the tarpaulin being blown away by a typhoon.

When Li's mother learned that jellyfish blood could be sold for more than ten yuan per pound, she regretted putting a few more slices into the pot. The jellyfish blood that she had just said tasted more delicious than anything else was no longer delicious.

On the eve of dawn, the wind suddenly blew, and the doors and windows were creaking. Muffled thunder seemed to be rolling on the roof. Lightning flashed one after another, illuminating the pitch-black earth into daytime.

Li Changle woke up from her dream, and Zhou Ruonan turned over and sat up in shock, "Ah Le, the wind is blowing."

"Don't be afraid, the tiles on the roof won't be blown away." Li Changle reached out and pulled the light cord, and found that the power was out. He picked up the flashlight on the stool beside the bed and said, "You go to sleep, I'll go outside and take a look."

"Yeah!" Zhou Ruonan saw him leave the room, pulled the thin quilt on the bedside and lay down.

Li Changle left the room and walked to the window. He saw a flashlight outside and opened the door. A strong wind mixed with rain rushed in.

I saw Brother Li and Sister Li checking the tarpaulin in the yard. They turned their heads and saw him. They waved at him and said, "The ropes are tied up. Don't worry."

He turned around and closed the door. He looked at the time and it was just four o'clock. He remembered that he had agreed with Ge Changfa to go and look at the wood today, so it seemed that he would not be able to go.

The heavy rain did not stop until dawn. The yard was filled with water, and even the stream past the well became turbid and overflowed everywhere.

The loudspeaker in the alley started to sound at dawn, constantly warning the villagers that a typhoon was about to land and asking them to keep an eye on their children and not to play at the beach or by the pond.

After dinner, Li Changle saw that the rain had stopped, so he went to Ge Changfa's house wearing a raincoat, "Ah Fa, where is your friend's house? How long will it take to get there?"

"There are no minibuses over there on Liyu Mountain. It takes more than four hours to walk there, and another hour or two walking along the mountain road."

"so far?"

"Hmm!" Ge Changfa thought for a moment, "How about you go ride Awei's bike, and I'll borrow one from my brother, and we can leave right away?"

"Okay, wait for me."

Li Changle went home and took some dried fish and shrimp to Chen Yongwei's house, asking him to take the remaining jellyfish blood to Tu under the bridge, and briefly told him about how Liu Ashui and others blocked his way and tried to steal his tricycle.

He reminded him to be careful and then rode his bicycle to Gechangfa's house.

A few minutes later, the two rode their bikes out of the village, and the rain stopped when they reached Pan Town.

The two went to the store to weigh some sugar and cakes, rode their bicycles through the street, and rode for more than an hour before arriving at the foot of Liyu Mountain. They pushed their bicycles up the narrow mountain path.

The sides of the road were covered with lush weeds and tall trees. Li Changle only recognized pine trees and fir trees, and nothing else.

Halfway up the mountain, Ge Changfa pointed to the hills planted with tangerines and bayberries and said, “These hills used to be covered with fir and pine trees.

In the past few years, the management was not strict, and a lot of wood was stolen and stored at home. Acong's father used to be the brigade secretary, and his family got a lot of wood. "

"As the saying goes, live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the sea, eat by the sea!"

The two men pushed their bicycles to a secluded place. They heard a rustling sound coming from the grass, and they didn't know what was in the grass.

After walking on the winding mountain road for two hours, Ge Changfa pointed to a few families living in the valley ahead and told him that they would arrive in just ten minutes.

When they reached the valley, he took Li Changle to the back of a brand new stone-walled and tiled house. After walking a few steps downhill, they heard a dog barking.

A big yellow dog and several puppies rushed out of the yard, blocking the intersection and barking at the two people.

Ge Changfa shouted at the big dog, "Awang, you are so blind that you don't even recognize me!"

Li Changle burst out laughing after hearing this. "If Wang Mazi heard you, he would think you were calling him!"

Seeing that it was an acquaintance, Awang wagged his tail at him and continued to bark at Li Changle with his teeth barked. The puppy also imitated his mother and kept barking.

"If you keep yelling, I'll kidnap your son later."

Li Changle saw a yellow-haired, white puppy with shiny fur, as if it had just been oiled. He fell in love with it at first sight and planned to ask the owner if he wanted to sell it.

"Awang, what are you yelling about?" Before he finished speaking, a dark-skinned man with a simple and honest face walked out, and several dogs wagged their tails affectionately.

"Acong!" Ge Changfa shouted with a laugh.

Qian Acong came up to him in surprise when he saw him. "Ah Fa, how come you have time to come home today? Come on, take your friend inside and sit down."

"My friend Ale's family is going to build a new house, so I brought him to look at the wood." Ge Changfa said to Li Changle with a smile, "Ale, he is Qian Acong."
