170.
"Oh yeah!"
Several girls in the car screamed with excitement. They drove thousands of miles just to get to the northernmost border of the motherland. If they couldn't see snow, it would definitely be a regret.
"Ahem."
Zhang Feng interrupted their cheers with two dry coughs and said: "However, I want to remind these beauties that your current clothes are fine in the car, but they are not good outside. And the average annual temperature in Daxinganling The temperature is around minus 3 degrees Celsius, and the lowest temperature can even reach minus 52 degrees Celsius. If we go out in this shape, we will probably be frozen into ice sculptures.”
"So, ladies and gentlemen, the most important thing for us next is to go shopping in Mohe." Zhang Feng said with a smile.
The Greater Khingan Mountains region is located on the northern border of the motherland, bordering the Lesser Khingan Mountains to the east, the Hulun Buir League to the west, the Songnen Plain to the south, and the Snow Bear Federation to the north across the border from Heilongjiang!
Monkey drove the car and parked directly in front of the largest shopping mall in Mohe City.
The four girls couldn't wait to get out of the car. They felt that their thin clothes were instantly blown through by the north wind, and the body temperature was quickly taken away. They couldn't help but shiver.
"Oh, it's so cold, I feel like my blood is about to coagulate." Zhao Yan said exaggeratedly.
Zhang Feng, who was sitting in the car, winked at Monkey and Li Jian, then got out of the car and said, "Let's go, get in quickly, I almost want to curse at this temperature."
Entering the mall, the air-conditioned heater immediately makes people feel warm. Although they are only separated by a door, they feel like they are in two different worlds.
"Brother Li Jian, where are the monkeys?" Dai Yifan asked thoughtfully.
"Oh, the two of them are going to buy some things for outdoor use. Come on, let's buy cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold." Zhang Feng explained casually, and then beckoned everyone towards the mall.
Dai Yifan frowned slightly. This mall looks very large. Do I need to go somewhere else to buy it? Doubts couldn't help but arise in my mind.
Zhang Feng and four girls were busy shopping in the mall for down jackets, cotton gloves, cotton hats and other equipment to keep out the cold.
Li Jian and Hou Hou drove around the streets of Mohe.
mohe
It is not only the city closest to the Daxinganling Mountains, but also a gathering place and transit place for illegal poachers, as well as a trading place for them to sell poached wild protected animals.
As long as you look carefully, you can find that many outdoor stores carry wild animals with inconspicuous signs saying "robed pheasant".
In a dark back street, with newly fallen snow piled on the side of the road, Li Jian and Monkey finally arrived at an inconspicuous outdoor store.
The signboard is dark, and the words Wild Pheasant and Wild Ginseng are written on the window.
It would be strange if a store in such a location could make money through serious business, but now it still operates through informal business.
After getting off the car and walking towards the store, Li Jian was still using crutches, but his leg injury was almost healed.
Pushing the door open and walking into the store, there is no heating, only the stove in the middle of the room is used for heating, and the fire is burning brightly.
There was a man sitting next to the fire with his back to the door, busy working.
He frowned slightly when he heard the door open. If the old buyers always used the back door, he turned around and stood up. His huge body was like a blind bear in the mountains. He was 190 centimeters tall, with messy hair. He has a beard, round eyes and a wide mouth, holding a hatchet in one hand and an arrow in the other.
"What's the matter?" the man asked, staring at the monkey and Li Jian.
"Of course I came into your store to buy something. Otherwise, what else could I do?" Monkey asked with a smile.
Li Jian's face was sullen and his body was slightly tense. He felt threatened by this burly man.
"Get out, nothing here is for sale." The man hummed.
The monkey turned his head and looked at the outdoor items hanging on the wall, which were all covered with a thick layer of ashes. It was obvious that they had not been put away for a long time.
Turning his head to look at the man, he smiled and said, "Brother, don't talk so rudely? We haven't said what we want to buy yet, so why are you so sure not to sell it?"
"Go away, I won't sell it if I say you won't, no matter how you like it. It's easy to talk and discuss, and it will be easy to handle whatever you want to do when you go out. If you can't understand people, I will take the trouble to send you out." The man put the hand in his hand. The arrows and hatchets were put down, and the two huge palms clapped together with a 'snap' sound, the threat was self-evident.
The monkey still wanted to speak, but was stopped by Li Jian
He waved his hand to stop him and said to himself: "Brother, I know what you are buying is not a serious thing. What we want to buy is not a serious guy either." As he spoke, he turned his eyes slightly and fell on the arrow that the man had put aside. Li Jian could tell that the arrow without an arrowhead was a crossbow arrow. It was fired from a mechanical crossbow. It had great lethality and was a controlled instrument expressly prohibited by the state.
The man looked at Li Jian and said solemnly: "Cash transaction."
"No problem!" Li Jian took off the backpack on his back and took out two stacks of brand new bills that he had just taken out from the bank.
The man nodded and said in a low voice: "Come in with me."
With that said, he took the lead and walked towards the backyard with long strides.
Crossing the yard and walking outside a warehouse, Li Jian and Monkey could feel a wave of hot air even though they were separated by an iron door.
After the man knocked on the door, the iron door was opened from the inside. The man shook his head and motioned for Li Jian and Monkey to walk in.
The two looked at each other and stepped in. As soon as they walked in, Li Jian's forehead was pressed against the muzzle of a dark gun.
Just as the monkey was about to take action, he heard the man say coldly: "If you dare to move, I will blow his head off."
Two more bald men came out of the warehouse, tied Li Jian and Hou Hou's hands, and forced them into the warehouse.
Entering the warehouse, Li Jian and Monkey couldn't help but be startled. The bellows whirred, the faces of the people roasting in the strong fire were red, and the sound of huge hammers beating continuously sounded one after another!
What just hit Li Jian's head was a dark double-barreled shotgun. The man holding the gun asked the man who brought Li Jian and Monkey in: "Second son, what's going on?"
"Who the hell knows? These two are new faces. I think they look like really bad policemen."
Li Jian and Houhou really wanted to buy some machetes and self-defense daggers, but they did not expect to go directly into the den of thieves.
In the moment just now, Li Jian had a way to deal with the man who held the gun against him, but he didn't take action because he had other ideas. He said, "Brother, this is all a misunderstanding. We just want to go into the mountains and get some game. I need to buy some equipment from you. If the two of us are really thunderous, I'm afraid you will be surrounded by now, right?"
