Chapter 22 The Fool Who Carried Beer Up the Mountain

Chapter 22 The fool carrying beer up the mountain

Early the next morning, Chen Li got up at half past five.

After washing up, Chen Li took the backpack he packed in advance last night and posted a note wishing Chen Xue a successful exam on the door of Chen Xue's room.

He didn't say hello to his parents because he had made arrangements with them in advance last night.

After leaving the grain station, Chen Li did not go directly to the designated gathering place, but went to Zhao Xiaobing's house in the old street.

Zhao Xiaobing is a friend who often follows Chen Li to catch eels. Likewise, this buddy can also catch black sticks, which are black fish.

After finishing the course yesterday afternoon, Zhao Xiaobing came to ask Chen Li to catch eels in the evening, but Chen Li didn't go because he had to go to Wangjiashan today.

Later, Zhao Xiaobing said he was going to fish for black sticks, so Chen Li asked Zhao Xiaobing to leave one for him.

"Brother Li, here we come!"

"I was lucky yesterday and caught six black sticks. When you come back, you can sell some for me."

"If you want, I'll sell it for you when I get back from Wangjiashan."

While Chen Li was chatting with Zhao Xiaobing, he entered the Zhao family's kitchen.

I saw a few big snakehead fish waiting in a big footbath in the kitchen. Because of the presence of oxygenating rods, these snakehead fish didn't flop around.

"Wow~!"

"This one is the biggest!"

Zhao Xiaobing grabbed the largest black fish in the footbath and looked at Chen Li.

"Kill for me!"

"Got it!"

As someone who often fishes, it is not easy to kill a fish. Zhao Xiaobing picked up the kitchen knife and cleaned up the snakeheaded fish by dividing it by two.

"Give!"

Chen Li took the fish and handed it out twenty yuan.

This big snakeheaded fish should weigh about five kilograms. In Erlong Town, a black stick weighing 3 to 5 kilograms can be sold for 4 yuan and 51 kilograms, while the smaller or larger snakeheaded fish can only be sold for 4 yuan.

Chen Li gave him 20 yuan, so he took advantage of Zhao Xiaobing!

"Brother Li, what are you doing?"

"Can I ask for your money? You have helped me sell something every time in the past two days. Just a fish. I'll give it to you!"

"Oh, take the money back quickly, I can't take your money!"

Zhao Xiaobing directly packed the killed snakehead fish in a plastic bag, stuffed it directly into Chen Li's hand, and pushed Chen Li out of the kitchen.

Chen Li didn't bother to talk to this guy, he just crumpled the twenty yuan into a ball and threw it at Zhao Xiaobing, turned around and ran away, not forgetting to remind him as he ran:

"You can catch more black sticks and eels in these two days. I'll sell them to you when I come back tomorrow."

Zhao Xiaobing hurriedly grabbed the money on his body, and replied with some laughter and tears: "I know!"

Chen Li checked the time while running. When he ran to Erlong Bridge, the time happened to be 5:55!

"Hey, everyone came early enough!"

At this moment, the people at Erlong Bridge are almost all here, waiting for Chen Li, the nominal "big brother"!

"You still told us not to be late, but you were the last one to arrive!"

Zhao Xiaoqiu on the side saw that Chen Li was the last to arrive, and couldn't help but complain.

"Otherwise, don't wait for me to stop you! Go climb Wangjia Mountain yourself!"

In fact, Chen Li and Zhao Xiaoqiu were quite familiar with each other, so he responded unceremoniously.

"you!"

Zhao Xiaoqiu was speechless. If Chen Li didn't come, it would be really difficult for his group to go to Wangjiashan.

After all, they had agreed with their families that they were going to stay one night at Chen Li's grandma's house in Wangjiashan. If Chen Li didn't come, would they be allowed to sleep in the mountains and wild forests?

"Okay, I'm not late! You guys are too active!"

"I don't usually see you so active in class!"

"We're all here. Come on, pay the money first, five yuan per person!"

Chen Li smiled and stretched out his hand to everyone, waiting for everyone to make offerings to him!

"It's okay to pay, five yuan isn't too much."

"But Squad Leader Chen, although we don't pursue good food, at least you have to ensure that we have enough to eat!"

The first person to pay was Liu Qingqing. After all, she was the one who proposed the idea of going to Wangjiashan in the first place.

"Can you cut enough steamed buns and pickles? I'll add a bowl of red potato porridge for you!"

I don't know why, but every time he faced Liu Qingqing, Chen Li couldn't help but talk a little bit.

Perhaps it was because of the relationship between Liu Qingqing and him in his previous life, or perhaps because of Chen Li himself. Anyway, Chen Li was obviously different from others when he treated Liu Qingqing!

"Hmph! If you don't let me have enough to eat then, I will complain to Uncle Chen when I come back!"

Zhao Xiaoqiu knew Chen Li's father because Zhao Xiaoqiu's father and Chen Li's father were comrades in arms.

Later, when he returned to the local area, Chen Li's father joined the grain station, and Zhao Xiaoqiu's father joined the town's People's Armed Forces Department.

So in fact, apart from Li Yuan, the neighbor, Zhao Xiaoqiu and Chen Li are actually the most familiar with each other.

"Go and sue! You can go now. Otherwise, I will definitely make you hungry!"

Chen Li continued to talk nonsense while collecting the money everyone handed in.

"OK, sixty yuan, just right!"

"The money has been collected, so now let's start a two-day tour of Wangjiashan!"

"Hey Barty. Doggy!"

Although Chen Li was a little reluctant to go to Wangjiashan at first, after all, it would take several hours of walking on the mountain road, but when the matter was settled, Chen Li actually found it quite interesting.

Hmm. This is probably the feeling of youth!

Because there were so many people, everyone chose to walk at the beginning. There were about ten people talking and laughing, but it didn’t feel like much.

They were all young people and their walking was relatively fast. In about half an hour, everyone had arrived at the foot of Wangjiashan Mountain.

Half an hour of flat road was not tiring, so everyone chose to continue up the mountain without stopping.

After walking on the mountain road for about half an hour, someone finally couldn't hold on any longer.

But what left Chen Li speechless was that the first person who couldn't hold on was Li Yuan!

Could it be that this guy is big and consumes a lot of money?

When Chen Li looked at Li Yuan with contempt, Li Yuan blushed and said:

"What? I didn't eat in the morning!"

"What you said is so fresh. It seems like you have eaten with someone this morning!"

Chen Li was speechless. He was not surprised that someone couldn't hold on, but he was simply surprised that this person was Li Yuan.

After all, this guy is tall and tall, and he usually looks like a good athlete. But... is this?

"Everyone, let's take a break!"

We were not halfway up the mountain yet, and there was no scenery to see. Originally, Chen Li planned to stop at Zoumaling halfway through the journey.

There is an old pavilion over there, and you can see a bit of the natural scenery of Wangjiashan.

After hearing what Chen Li said, everyone looked for a place to rest. In fact, everyone was a little tired, but Li Yuan was the first to be unable to hold on.

"Didn't you bring anything to eat?"

Chen Li took out a bag of pea oil cubes from his backpack, which he asked his father to fry last night.

"Hey, I didn't want to go to your grandma's house. You can't starve me! So I didn't bring anything to eat. I brought everything!"

Li Yuan opened his backpack. Chen Li took a look and was speechless for a moment.

No wonder this guy is tired after walking for an hour. This guy has a backpack of beer in his backpack!

“There is a canteen in the village on the mountain that sells beer!”

Chen Li ruthlessly gave Li Yuan a knife. After all, he didn't expect that this fool would bring a backpack.

"Ah, there is a canteen in Wangjiashan?" Li Yuan was dumbfounded!

“My brother-in-law just opened it this year!”

"Damn it. You didn't tell me earlier!"

"Then you didn't ask?"

"Then you should have told me in advance!"
