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

Chapter 522: Set off for the Gold Rush
After the greetings, the two men exchanged greetings for a while, but they spoke in Oroqen, so Wang An and the other two had no idea what they were saying.

After the greetings, Uncle Kuma introduced the two parties and asked Wang An and the other two to call the middle-aged man Uncle Batu.

Then, Uncle Kumar directly stated the purpose of his visit.

However, this time, in order to avoid the incident that happened before in the Montenegro Brigade, Wang An asked about the price of the horse in advance.

Of course, what I asked about was the price of a four or five-year-old bred horse. Uncle Batu was very honest and directly quoted a price of 500 yuan per horse.

Moreover, Uncle Batu gave a goat to each of Wang An and the other two for the sake of Uncle Kumar.

To be honest, this made Wang An and the other two feel very embarrassed.

As they were talking, they walked towards the horse farm of Qingshangou Brigade.

The horse farm of Qingshangou Brigade is completely different from the horse farm of Heishan Brigade.

Because the horse farm of Qingshangou Brigade is a large meadow, there are not only very few trees, but also none of them are too big.

Meadows like this are actually wetlands, and many are even swamps.

Without exception, there is a stream or a river passing by or in the middle of every meadow.

Although there are not many large trees, various smaller plants grow quite lushly every summer.

I have to say that this kind of place would be a perfect place to raise animals.

There are several places like this, located close to the mountains.

So Wang An looked at this place thoughtfully, but in his heart he was thinking about the time when Kaoshantun would contract out the meadow.

Wang An remembered that in his previous life, the meadow in Kaoshan Village was contracted to the villagers for a period of 50 years, but the villagers turned the meadow into arable land.

You have to know that the price of food is quite stable, so I have never heard of anyone getting rich by farming.

Mainly in years of bumper harvest, grain is worthless and no one wants it. When grain is valuable, there must be some kind of disaster that leads to a decrease in grain production.

To be honest, in this situation, it's like a curse, firmly controlling the income of the residents.

Just as Wang An was looking at the large meadow, his head full of random thoughts, whistles sounded one after another.

When it comes to giving orders to horses or animals, the most important thing is to make them obedient. Things like these may be what the Oroqen people are good at.

So, basically it was the same as the Montenegrin Brigade. After Uncle Batu gathered the herd of horses, Wang An also asked Uncle Batu to help him choose the horses.

When Uncle Batu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then went into the herd of horses without saying anything.

The number of horses in Qingshangou Brigade is about half that of Heishan Brigade, with only about 100 horses, but the quality is not inferior at all.

After selecting the horses and returning to Qingshangou to pay the money, Wang An and his two companions declined Uncle Batu's request to stay for dinner and tied the six horses to the crossbeam behind the carriage.

Immediately afterwards, Uncle Batu caught three more goats and put them on the carriage. Wang An couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it.

When Wang An and his two companions returned, they bought a lot of things when they passed by the supply and marketing cooperative in the county town. Of course, in addition to the things they needed to bring into the mountains, there were also some daily necessities for the household.

After buying things, the three of them continued walking towards home.

Two days later, Wu Dong and his group arrived as scheduled.

What Wang An didn’t expect was that Sun Nian also came.

To be honest, Wang An didn't know much about Sun Nian except for his big white butt. Although the two had worked together because of tiger hunting, they had not spoken much to each other so far.

So when Wang An saw Sun Nian, he was stunned for a moment. The main reason was that Wang An had never thought of taking her with him on this gold rush from the beginning to the end.

Of course, Wu Dong and the other three as well as Zhang Shuya also knew that Wang An didn't want to bring Sun Nian with him.

Because Wang An emphasized the names of the nine people who went into the mountain, and never mentioned Sun Nian. Besides, Sun Nian's job was not transferred to DJ County, but he had been working in Bingcheng.

But at this time Sun Nian appeared!

This made Wang An feel uncomfortable as if a thorn had been pierced in his heart.

Although for a gold mine, there is no difference between having one more person and ten more people, because relying on just these few people, it may take hundreds of years to mine the entire gold mine.

But it is afraid of people knowing about this thing!

However, given Wang An's personality, he didn't lose his composure and continued to greet and chat with them as usual.

Just when Wang An felt that having Sun Nian around would cause a lot more trouble, Zhang Shuya secretly called Wang An aside and explained the whole story.

The reason is that Zhang Shuya and Sun Nian have a very good relationship. They grew up together and can be said to be inseparable.

The most important thing is that Sun Nian's grandfather made a lot of efforts in the forbidden area incident, and when dealing with Xing Liwen, although Sun Xianghuo did not seem to be very powerful on the surface, he actually did not do anything wrong.

And what Zhang Shuya meant was that Sun Nian was someone who could be absolutely trusted.

After hearing Zhang Shuya's explanation, Wang An finally put aside his unhappiness.

No matter what, as long as the secret of the gold mine is not leaked, it doesn’t matter if there is one more person or a few more people.

After everything was sorted out and they waited for a while, Feng Chengmin finally came on horseback.

Without delay, 10 people and 20 horses headed towards YJ County.

The reason why there are 10 people and 20 horses is that the time spent in the mountains is relatively long, so each person rides a horse or leads a horse.

The main function of the horse that each person leads is to carry things. Of course, these things are the supplies needed after entering the mountains.

In addition to the luggage, the main things were grain and food, as well as some tools such as shovels, axes, pickaxes, etc.

In addition to these, there are some medicines, and of course, bullets and grenades are also indispensable.

And when Wu Dong came this time, in addition to the six of them each carrying an 6 bar, he also brought one for each of Wang An, Feng Chengmin and the other four.

In other words, everyone carries two guns, one long and one short.

I have to say that with these weapons and equipment, they are not afraid of any ruthless person or bandit group.

YJ County is not very far from DJ County, about 200 miles away, but DJ County is very close to JY County, only about or miles away.

If you want to go to YJ County, JY County is the only way. Although you can take a detour, the distance will be much longer, and the road in the mountains is really not easy to walk on.

In order not to attract attention, all 10 people wore hunting suits.

But even so, when passing through JY County, the group attracted the attention of the local team.
