Under the cold moonlight, two ox-carts slowly walked on the rugged mountain road.
It was not far from Shanqian Village to the main road, about four or five miles away. The Li brothers had walked this road since they were young. It was a bit exaggerated to say that they could cross it with their eyes closed, but they basically knew where there were pits and where the road was narrow.
It was because of this familiarity that the two of them dared to drive the ox cart on this road at night.
There was a ten-meter-high steep slope next to them. If they were not careful and the ox cart fell down the mountain, the ox and the people would not be able to survive. At the very least, they would be seriously injured.
Chen Yong rode his bicycle in front.
It wasn't that he was more familiar with this road than the two of them, but it was because of the flashlight in his hand.
Ever since the golden finger space appeared, he had placed many small items in it for convenience. This flashlight was one of them. He did not expect it to come in handy today.
Compared to the flashlights of the later generations, the torchlight at this time was not bright.
At this time, the flashlight used batteries as its power source. The light bulb was only a small lamp bead. It mainly relied on the silver reflective bowl to reflect the light. Compared to the LED lights of the future, the brightness was not on the same level.
However, such a flashlight was not something that could be found in the countryside.
There were more than 30 households in Shanqian Village. They did not even have electricity, let alone flashlights. At night, the villagers still used outdated lanterns (also known as lanterns and kerosene lamps).
In order to save money, the villagers would only light up when needed. The villagers usually rested earlier, and most of them used moonlight to light up.
Previously, when Li Jianjun saw Chen Yong take out a flashlight, he had a special look.
As the chief of the village and the son of the chief, he had to patrol the village at night many times a year. He usually relied on the moonlight to illuminate the village. Only when he had no choice would he bring out a lantern.
He had long wanted a flashlight.
Every time he went to a meeting at the community center, he would be especially angry when he saw the captain of the neighboring Shiqiao Village holding a flashlight and showing off to him at night.
He even said that Dongmei had married him for nothing.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Should he go to the city next month to buy a flashlight?
However, when he thought about how flashlights needed batteries, and how it would cost a lot of money to buy batteries, he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. Moreover, Chen Yong's flashlight was obviously a high-end product, brighter than the flashlight of the Commune.
However, when he thought of his wife, he smiled smugly.
His wife, Ma Dongmei, was originally from Shiqiao Village. Back then, she was a famous flower in the vicinity. The current captain of Shiqiao Village, Old Third Chen, had once wanted to compete with him, but in the end, he had still won.
Thinking of the situation at that time, Li Jianjun looked at Chen Yong's back with some gratitude.
At that time, it was all thanks to Da Yong's idea. Later, he asked a matchmaker to come and propose marriage. It was also Da Yong who sent a piece of floral cloth back from the city. This allowed him to defeat Old Third Chen and marry his beautiful daughter-in-law.
Da Yong was really a benefactor of the family.
He had heard from his father more than once that the tasks given by the community next year would be very heavy.
Second Brother would be 20 years old after the new year. Father had been worried about his marriage. Now, he had sold more than 30 yuan for his things. With this money, he would be able to find a wife for Second Brother next year.
Da Yong had helped them so much.
Although he and his family were like family, they had to think of a way to repay their kindness.
While Li Jianjun was thinking, Li Jianguo seemed to be more heartless. In fact, this was normal. He was nineteen years old and had yet to start a family. His thoughts were still relatively simple.
After walking for a while, he grinned and shouted at Chen Yong, who was in front of him," Brother Yong, do you still have that cigarette?”
At this time, the children in the countryside matured earlier than those in the city. In addition, their parents did not care much about them. Many boys began to learn to smoke when they were fifteen or sixteen years old. Li Jianguo had smoked for four or five years and was now considered an old pipe.
The cigarette he was talking about was the one that Chen Yong had given out in the village.
Didn't Yang Zhengmin give Chen Yong a carton of cigarettes yesterday?
He casually threw it into his space. When he was packing in the afternoon, he remembered and took out a pack to give to the villagers to try. He did not expect Li Jianguo to keep thinking about it.
"Yes, you should take it."
Chen Yong wasn't stingy with the Li brothers. He stopped the car and took out a whole bag from his space. When Li Jianguo's bullock-cart approached, he threw it at him.
"Brother Jun, you too."
Of course, Li Jianjun couldn't give less to Li Jianguo.
Li Jianguo didn't stand on ceremony when he received the cigarette. He opened it and lit a cigarette in his mouth.
Li Jianjun was not as generous as his younger brother. He could not bear to smoke such a good cigarette. He planned to smoke it at the next meeting at the community. At least, he had to show off in front of Chen Laosan. He wanted to see if he would say that Dongmei marrying him was a waste!
The three of them chatted along the way.
After about 40 minutes, they finally arrived at the intersection.
"Brother Jun, Jianguo, you should hurry back after you've unloaded the things. A car will pick me up in a while. After all, these things didn't go through the supply and marketing cooperative.”
This excuse had been prepared in advance. The identity of the space and the transmigrator was his biggest secret. No matter who it was, he did not intend to let them know.
" You're the only one here..." Li Jianguo hesitated.
At this time, public security was not good. Interception and open robbery occurred from time to time. Chen Yong was alone to look after so many things. If something happened, the things would be gone. If something happened to someone, it would be a big problem.
Of course, it wasn't that he didn't value these resources.
However, compared to Chen Yong's safety, he felt that these things were completely incomparable.
"Don't worry, the car will be here soon.”Chen Yong smiled confidently." Besides, how can you not know my skills? Even three to five people can't enter. If I really encounter a situation that I can't deal with, it's still very easy for me to escape.”
The Li brothers thought that what he said made sense.
The two of them had long known that Chen Yong knew kung fu, and they had personally seen him take down several burly men in one breath.
Unloading two carts of supplies took half an hour.
"Be careful. We're going back. If anything happens, run back to the village to find us.”Li Jianjun thought for a while and finally listened to Chen Yong's words and prepared to leave.
Li Jianguo echoed," That's right, Brother Yong. If there's any situation, run back to the village and find us."”
"Don't worry, it'll be fine."
"Alright, then we'll go back."
"Be careful on the way. Remember to bring Uncle Li and the others into the city on the 18th of next month. The address is with Uncle Li. If you encounter anything that you can't handle, you can come to the city to find me.”
"Alright, let's go."
The Li brothers boarded the bullock-cart and waved at Chen Yong. Soon, the two bullock-carts disappeared into the night.
