Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 521 Qingshangou Brigade

To be honest, if the price of a horse was 600 yuan at the beginning, Wang An would have paid the money without saying a word.

After all, these six horses were not only chosen by me, but also selected with the help of Uncle Amba, so it doesn't matter if I spend a little more.

The key issue is that whether you go into the mountains to pan for gold or to dig ginseng, the goal is all about "smoothness".

Although Wang An was not a superstitious person, whether the journey into the mountains was smooth or not had little to do with the horse.

But we have to admit that before anyone does something, they will pray silently in their heart, wishing themselves all the best.

If everything goes wrong before doing something, it will definitely be a huge obstacle for the person doing it.

There is an old saying that goes, "Well begun is half done."

If buying a horse is not smooth, then for Wang An, it would be better not to buy the horse.

Otherwise, riding this horse into the mountains would feel really awkward and uncomfortable.

Some people may say that good things take time, and without some twists and turns, even if you succeed, it will feel boring.

What Wang An wanted to say was, get the hell out of here, and at the same time, I wish you:
Drinking soup and spilling it all over yourself, urinating and spilling it all over your shoes,
When wiping your butt, you tear the paper, and when you fart, shit pops out!
People who say “good things take time” are just forcing themselves to comfort themselves.

After hearing Wang An's unquestionable tone, the accountant was obviously a little overwhelmed.

The accountant suppressed his anger and said in a sarcastic tone:
"Then you better think about it. We don't have any trouble selling our horses. If we miss this market, there will be no more shops like this."

When Wang An heard this, he immediately laughed and said:

"Do you have the final say on the Black Mountain Brigade? Well, if you have the final say, we won't buy this horse."

After finishing his words, Wang An turned to Mu Xueli and Wang Li and said:
"Xue Li, Lao Wu, return the reins to Uncle Amba, and let's go."

At this time, Wang An really didn't want to buy a horse anymore. To be precise, he didn't want to buy it here.

It can be seen that Uncle Kumar and Uncle Amba were also very angry at this time because of the captain and the accountant's actions.

But for some unknown reason, Uncle Kuma and Uncle Amba remained silent and allowed Wang An to negotiate with the two men.

After saying that, Wang An and the other two handed the reins back to Uncle Amba. At this time, Uncle Amba had a very ugly expression on his face.

When handing the reins to Wang An and the other two, Uncle Amba forced an apologetic smile, but still said nothing.

After Wang An and the other two handed over the horse reins, they turned around and walked towards Uncle Kuma's house. Since they failed to buy the horse, Wang An wanted to leave and make other plans.

In Heilongjiang Province, there are actually quite a few villages inhabited entirely by Oroqen people. At least there are several in DJ County.

It's just that they are very exclusive when there are no acquaintances around.

We can't really blame them for being xenophobic, because there were many people who thought they were very smart who caused them a lot of trouble, so they don't trust outsiders anymore.

When Wang An and his two companions returned to Uncle Kuma's house and harnessed the carriage to leave, Uncle Kuma also came back.

Seeing that Wang An and his two companions were about to leave, the old man got on the carriage without saying a word.

When Wang An and the other two saw this, they were immediately confused. The main reason was that they really had no idea what Uncle Kumar was going to do.

Seeing the doubts of the three people, Uncle Kumar said helplessly and angrily:

"This matter today is my fault. I didn't think that old beast was so ignorant. But it's okay. Let's go to Qingshangou Village to buy some horses. They can't keep all the horses anymore."

Hearing what Grandpa Kuma said, Wang An immediately smiled and said:

"It's okay, Uncle Kumar. I'm just a horse buyer and I'm not angry. What do you have to be angry about?" Although Uncle Kumar remained silent, Wang An really had no intention of complaining. After all, everyone has their own difficulties.

To be honest, to the Montenegrin Brigade, Wang An and his two companions are outsiders. If Uncle Kuma and Uncle Amba speak up for Wang An, they will be despised.

Moreover, although the accountant is very annoying, if you think from his perspective, there is actually nothing wrong with his exorbitant asking price.

They just want to sell the horse at a high price, is there anything wrong with that?

Uncle Kumar said, "You don't need to persuade me. I know what's going on. Just turn east ahead."

Wang An stopped trying to persuade him, and said with a smile:

"Okay, Master Kumar."

As he spoke, Wang An followed Uncle Kuma's instructions and walked towards the east.

On the way, Uncle Kumar was obviously in a bad mood, but Wang An didn't ask much.

The main thing is that this kind of thing is considered an internal matter of the Montenegrin Brigade. Even if you say one more word, it may be regarded as sowing discord.

Although Wang An did not mention the purchase of the horse, he kept changing the subject, trying to get Uncle Kumar out of his angry mood.

To be honest, Uncle Kumar is a really nice guy. Whether he was receiving Wang An and his two companions, or taking Wang An to choose horses, he did everything perfectly.

Although the captain and the accountant interfered in the end, Uncle Kumar still wanted to help Wang An complete the horse purchase.

The distance between Qingshangou Brigade and Heishan Brigade is not very far, only about five or six miles.

So, more than twenty minutes later, the four of them arrived at the destination in the carriage.

Although the number of households in the Heishan Brigade is not large, only about forty or fifty, the number of households in the Qingshangou Brigade is even smaller.

Looking from a distance, it seems that there are less than 20 households.

But it must be said that the three words "Qingshangou" in Qingshangou Brigade are absolutely worthy of its name.

Because this brigade is located completely in a ditch between two mountains. The entire ditch runs from north to south and the end can be seen at a glance.

Under the command of Uncle Kuma, Wang An drove the carriage directly into a yard.

It was not until then that Wang An discovered that none of the households in this Qingshan Valley had a house.

But shacks and slanted pillars are quite large, with every family having four or five, or six or seven.

I have to say that at first glance, it feels like all the people in the Qingshangou Brigade are authentic Oroqen people.

After the carriage entered the yard, the barking of dogs in the yard prompted a middle-aged man to come out of a shack.

The first time this person saw Uncle Kumar, he knelt down and saluted with a very solemn expression.

This kind of etiquette is unique to the Oroqen people.

For men, the overall move is to move the left knee forward, move the right leg backward and slightly bend it, and extend the right hand slightly forward.

For women, the overall move is to put your legs together, support your knees with your right hand or both hands, and then bend your knees slightly downward.

This kind of courtesy is used by younger generations to greet older generations, or between peers.

But it should be noted that peers must return the greeting with the same gesture.

Otherwise, you’ll easily get beaten!
