840, business routine [asking for a monthly pass]
Seeing that it was Monk Xingyun coming, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but smile and said, "Master, what did you just say?"
"Lu Weiwei. Seeing that Lu Weiwei had deserted just now, and now she didn't understand, Officer Wang hurriedly motioned for her to stand aside.
Gu Chen took a step forward and said, "In your practice, the main purpose of not killing and releasing living beings is to cultivate compassion and express a kind of respect for life, which is a noble moral behavior for human beings to examine themselves and pursue equality, nature, and harmony. ”
"And the release you are talking about is indeed ancient, even in today's modernization, this kind of good deeds to protect endangered lives and let them return to nature are still very popular among the people. ”
"That's right, the police donor is right. Seeing Gu Chen discussing the release with himself, Monk Xingyun stepped forward directly, and when he came to Gu Chen, he also said with a relieved face:
"The donor knows that according to the statistics of the Guangdong Provincial Animal Release Association, there are no less than 30 non-governmental animal release groups in Yangcheng alone, and there are large and small release activities in various mountains and forests and waters of Yangcheng every day. ”
"The two female donors just released these snakes into the suburbs to prevent the snakes from being hunted and killed, so why should the donors be angry because of this good deed?"
"But ......"
Lu Weiwei just wanted to refute a few words, but Monk Xingyun's sentence of "Amitabha" instantly scolded Lu Weiwei back.
Gu Chen said with a smile: "The data that Master Xingyun said is indeed very accurate, that's right, what you said happens every day." ”
"But I can also tell you that the Economist in England has analysed the growing 'release fever' in our country. ”
"Weigh the number of fish, snakes, turtles, birds, and even ants released in our country every year...... There are about more than 200 million. ”
"So much?" Lu Weiwei was stunned when she heard Gu Chen's words: "200 million? ”
Gu Chen glanced at Lu Weiwei behind him, feeling a little fussed, so he said to Monk Xingyun again: "Actually, there was nothing wrong with releasing life originally, but now many release activities have become a profitable business. ”
"In fact, while most of the releasers have good intentions, it is true that many of the releases have evolved into a 'commercial practice', or even into killing. ”
Turning his head to look at the two old ladies, Gu Chen said again: "Take these two old ladies as an example, they were released in the central park of Dongshan Town early this morning, and the intention was good. ”
"But after the snake is released, it bites people, and the snake is caught in large numbers, so the final destination of the released snake may be death, so the guardian becomes killed. ”
"That's right. Hearing Gu Chen's words, Yuan Shasha couldn't help but say: "Life release is a kind of good deed, but now many life release behaviors are becoming more and more tasteful. ”
Monk Xingyun smiled and said diligently: "It's the donor who is too serious, if there is a hurtful act, it is just the unintentional fault of the two old donors, please don't punish them, if there is any loss, I think these two old donors should also be willing to bear it." ”
Monk Xingyun obviously felt that he couldn't argue with Gu Chen.
Especially the two old ladies who let snakes bite passers-by, that is, they need to be held responsible.
Therefore, Monk Xingyun avoided the important and said a few kind words for the two old ladies.
Gu Chen didn't have to hold on to it, but just reminded: "This matter, it is definitely necessary to hold accountable, after all, many residents of Dongshan Town have been bitten by snakes, and now the town is still organizing manpower to catch these snakes scattered in the central park." ”
"Ah, you want to be arrested again?" the old lady named Qiu Xiang heard this, and suddenly her whole person was not good: "I just released it in the morning, and you will be arrested in the afternoon, this ...... That's what the hell is that, isn't it?"
"Why, don't you catch it and wait to bite someone?" Lu Weiwei was also straightforward, feeling that the old lady seemed to be unconvinced.
Another short-haired old lady also hesitated, and then asked Gu Chen: "Then what kind of work does Comrade Police need us to do?" After all, biting people is also something we don't want to see, if I can, I will pay for the medical expenses." ”
"It's good to have your words. Seeing that the old lady was unintentional, not to be able to release snakes to bite people, Gu Chen gave a compromise plan and said:
"In this way, you tell me the number and type of snakes you have released, and I must count them and report them to Dongshan Town. ”
"Also, you must bear the medical expenses of all the bitten people, and you must apologize in person and promise that you will not go to crowded areas to release them at will in the future, can you do this?"
Hearing Gu Chen's words, the short-haired old lady and the old lady named Qiu Xiang looked at each other, and the two leaned together for a short moment to discuss, and then both nodded.
"Okay, just do what the police comrades asked, the snakes we released in the morning are some green snakes and small flower snakes, the varieties are not very clear, but they are not poisonous. ”
Looking up and thinking for a few seconds, the short-haired old lady said again: "The number is about 200, and that's it." ”
After Gu Chen recorded it, he asked again: "Then you ...... tomorrow?"
"Go, of course, I'm going to Dongshan Town, pay compensation to those who are injured, and be responsible for their medical expenses. Mrs. Qiu Xiang said.
For this kind of flexible processing results, Gu Chen is basically satisfied.
can think that when everyone was waiting in the restaurant, they once found that two old ladies had taken out burlap bags from the elderly car, and it was estimated that there was something inside, so Gu Chen hurriedly asked again:
"By the way, what exactly is that bag of things you brought back tonight?"
"Late ...... What did you bring back at night?" The short-haired old lady was stunned for a moment, and then she said, "Oh, it's some turtles, and they're also used to release them." ”
"Turtle?" Gu Chen also thought thoughtfully when he heard this: "Then you spend so much money every day to release your life, how much money does it cost?"
"It's okay, accumulate virtue. The old lady named Qiu Xiang also explained with a happy face: "Because of the next release event organized by Master Xingyun, we just can't participate in it that day. ”
"So I thought that during this time, I would either go to the market to buy some animals and release them, which can be regarded as indirect participation. ”
"The release organized by Master Nebula?" Gu Chen was stunned, and couldn't help but turn his gaze to Monk Nebula.
Monk Xingyun coughed twice, and then said with some embarrassment: "Our temple regularly holds large-scale release activities, which are generally organized by our temple. ”
"Thank you, Master. ”
Seeing that Monk Xingyun encouraged him, the two immediately clasped their hands together and bowed to Monk Xingyun to thank him.
Seeing that the police were present, Monk Xingyun didn't seem to want to say anything, so he could only admonish the two: "Since the police asked you to apologize to the injured, then you should go." ”
"Yes. Both nodded in agreement.
Monk Xingyun said again: "But I still have to remind you that the release activities should still be in accordance with the organizational regulations of our temple, and do not move on your own, after all, if you release the animals at the designated release location, there will be no embarrassing incidents like you today." ”
"Therefore, everything must be acted in unison, so as not to cause chaos and trouble to the police and local residents. ”
"Yes, yes, what Master Nebula said is extremely true, it's our fault, we won't act on our own next time, we will definitely change. ”
The short-haired old lady was also embarrassed, and apologized to Monk Xingyun again and again.
"Amitabha. Monk Xingyun palmed one hand, returned the salute to everyone, and said: "I think this matter is like this, thinking that they are bent on goodness, it is also an unintentional move, and I also ask the police comrades not to pursue it too much." ”
"Rest assured, we know what to expect. Gu Chen said.
"That's good. Monk Xingyun got Gu Chen's response, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's nothing, I'll go back first." ”
"I'll send you. Seeing this, the old lady named Qiu Xiang hurriedly turned around and went to see off Monk Xingyun.
The short-haired old lady continued to ask Gu Chen: "Comrade policeman, we will go to Dongshan Town tomorrow, is there anything else we need to do?"
"Write down the names of the two of you, as well as ID numbers, phone numbers, home addresses, etc., so that we can contact the police. Gu Chen said.
"Okay, no problem. The short-haired old lady didn't say a word, took Gu Chen's transcript, and directly filled in the personal information of herself and Mrs. Qiuxiang according to Gu Chen's request.
Lu Weiwei leaned aside and watched carefully.
Watching the old lady fill in the information, she couldn't help but say in her mouth: "Liu Qiuxiang, Wang Xiuqin, listen to a nice name." ”
"Really?" The old lady named Wang Xiuqin turned her head to look at it, and couldn't help but say: "Little girl, you are also very beautiful, and it is rare to see such a beautiful policeman like you now." ”
"Hee-hee, Auntie, you really can talk. Lu Weiwei saw Wang Xiuqin praising herself vigorously, and she couldn't help but feel happy.
After Wang Xiuqin filled in all the information and handed it over to Gu Chen, Gu Chen continued to ask her: "Aunt Wang, where is the bag of turtles you said before that is ready to be released now?
"Of course you can, come with me, I'll take you there. Wang Xiuqin didn't mean to reject, and walked directly to the back with Gu Chen's team.
Everyone followed all the way to the kitchen......
At this moment, inside a large blue bucket, there are already many turtles crawling.
Officer Wang was curious for a moment, grabbed it and kept it in his hand, looking left and right.
After a while, Officer Wang asked with a puzzled expression: "Anyway, it is still popular to release turtles now?"
"Of course, it's popular, not only turtles, but also many kinds of creatures that can be released. ”
Wang Xiuqin took the turtle in Officer Wang's hand, and also preached: "The weight of this turtle in our Chinese culture does not need to be repeated, the release of the turtle is to accumulate merit, and the turtle has a long life, and the release of this creature is good for us." ”
"But you shouldn't be a local turtle, right?" Gu Chen couldn't help but ask when he saw the strange appearance of the turtle.
Wang Xiuqin smiled and said: "It seems that the little comrade of the police is still knowledgeable, of course this is not a local turtle, this local turtle is too expensive to sell, and the economic conditions are a little unbearable, so I bought this turtle." ”
Speaking of this, Wang Xiuqin did not forget to give everyone a popular science: "You see, there are red spots on both sides of this head, how beautiful it looks, it is easy to raise, and the price is cheap, it is the star creature of our release circle." ”
"But you're Ba Xigui, right?" Gu Chen suddenly frowned.
Wang Xiuqin's eyes were stunned, and she said weakly: "Yes...... That's right, it's Ba West Turtle. ”
"Oh my God!" Gu Chen sighed and couldn't help shaking his head.
Seeing this, Lu Weiwei asked Gu Chen curiously: "What's the matter, Senior Brother Gu, what's wrong with Ba Xigui?" This kind of turtle feels quite beautiful." ”
"yes, I think it's pretty too. Yuan Shasha also said.
Gu Chen shook his head and said, "It's not a question of whether it's beautiful or not, but this kind of Ba Xi turtle, in fact, is a kind of 'ecological killer' recognized by the world, which has been listed as one of the most destructive species by the World Environmental Protection Organization." ”
"Ecological killer?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha were stunned at the same time.
At first, the two thought that Ba Xigui was good-looking, but they never thought that this creature was still an ecological killer?
Wang Xiuqin was also stunned, and asked Gu Chen weakly: "Comrade policeman, this is ...... How did this become an eco-killer?"
"Harm!" Gu Chen was also very helpless, so he could only explain to everyone: "It is conservatively estimated that there are tens of millions of wild Brazilian turtles in my country today, and this number even exceeds its hometown on the other side of the ocean. ”
"This creature has begun to erode ecological resources on a large scale through what you call release. ”
"And because of it, many of the indigenous people of the waters, our grass tortoises, have long been left with nowhere to go and have become endangered. ”
"So that's the case, isn't this an invasion of alien species?" said Officer Wang.
Gu Chen nodded silently: "Just like our Asian carp invaded North America, it has been flooded and has seriously damaged the local ecology. ”
"Huh. Hearing Gu Chen's words, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but smile and said: "It's a pity that Lao Mei doesn't eat carp, it seems that only creatures like crayfish are the most failed examples of alien species invasion." ”
"You know how to eat. Officer Wang glanced at Lu Weiwei, and said angrily: "Why can't anything get into your Lu Weiwei's mouth, as if you can't survive a spicy barbecue?"
"Haha. Yuan Shasha leaned aside and snickered.
However, Gu Chen didn't have this Yaxing, and said directly: "You turtles should be dealt with intensively, don't just put them in the wild, so as not to damage the local ecology." ”
"Oooh. When Wang Xiuqin heard this, she also quickly nodded and agreed: "Then I know, then next time, take these turtles to the release site organized by Master Xingyun to release them, the release pond over there is quite large, and it should not destroy the ecology." ”
Wang Xiuqin didn't say it, but when she said it, it aroused Gu Chen's vigilance.
Gu Chen hurriedly asked again: "By the way, Master Xingyun was present just now, I don't want to ask too much, what do you mean by the release activity?"
"That's it...... The release event organized by the temple. Wang Xiuqin also saw Gu Chen making a fuss, so she hurriedly said: "The temple often holds life release activities, which are all in charge of Master Xingyun, and I don't know what's going on, there have been more and more such activities recently." ”
"Then where did you get so many creatures to be released?" Lu Weiwei also felt curious.
The main thing is that this activity is still organized, and there must be a lot of releases.
But if you want to find such a large number of creatures, you must buy them in the market?
Wang Xiuqin said with a smile: "In fact, we don't have to worry about this kind of released creatures, generally the materials for this kind of release are purchased by the temple organization people to the farmers' market, and we, the liberators, donate money to the temple to release the animals." ”
According to the meaning of the temple, the more animals that are donated and released, the more expensive the price and the higher the merit. ”
"Why haven't I met it in Gangnam before?"
Gu Chen had also seen the release video shot by someone in the circle of friends before, but he didn't know about it.
But listening to Wang Xiuqin say this today, Gu Chen felt that this was not like a release, but like a business.
Wang Xiuqin also saw Gu Chen's puzzled face, so she said again: "There's no fuss, in fact, we didn't have a lot of fun here, and it was only after Master Xingyun came over that we started to organize this kind of release activity." ”
"Especially in recent years, many release operations have begun to change, and the operations are also carried out on a large scale and in an organized manner. ”
After a pause, Wang Xiuqin said: "For example, every Saturday morning, we will have hundreds of believers gather together at the reservoir in the mountain behind the temple to release the animals, which we call the release pool, and there will be special people on duty in this place." ”
"On the day of release, there were hundreds of us, each with a pot of loaches, and as soon as Master Xingyun recited the scriptures, we would line up and pour them into the reservoir. ”
"In just two hours at a time, almost a thousand loaches are dumped into the reservoir. ”
"And on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, Buddha and Bodhisattva Christmas, we will collectively release more creatures, and the scale will be even larger, even the turtles in the release pond of our temple are already 'full of turtles' after being released in large quantities, so we can only go to a larger release pond to release animals.
Gu Chen listened with some careful thought, it seemed that all these life release activities had only happened after this Nebula Master came.
But spending so much money every Saturday to release the temple is a bit of a business routine no matter how you look at it.
After all, Gu Chen's family is also in business, so in Gu Chen's mind, such an industrial chain quickly emerged:
"If someone turns animal release into a business, will there be some releasers, in order to fulfill their wish to release animals, they will book the animals they need with the operator, and the operator will place orders with those who catch them according to the needs of the market?"
"If that's the case, then the catcher will definitely catch it according to the order, and then send the caught animal to the market, and then the operator will sell the animal to the releaser. ”
Thinking of this, Gu Chen couldn't help but gasp: "In that case, wouldn't it give birth to a release industry chain?
"Isn't this release detached from the original meaning of release?
