Chapter 353: Night Hunter
After Mo Dalong went down, he really persuaded the villagers to leave.
The workers of the iron mine also know the result of the negotiations, and in any case, there will be an explanation tomorrow. When the villagers are gone, they can't make any trouble.
Fortunately, this heavy rain had stopped when they arrived at Tongxing Village. The summer rain comes and goes quickly.
In the afternoon, it was blue sky and white clouds, and the sun was high.
Shui Lingzhi took two women to prepare rooms for Ye Qingqing, Sheng Kai, and Zhang Sheng, and the bedding and pillows prepared for Ye Qingqing were really new.
In this small village, women basically do embroidery, so these things are quickly ready.
It can also be seen that although there is a conflict with the iron mine because of the salary, the villagers do not have too much resentment because of this, which shows that the people are still simple.
Dinner was served in the cafeteria, and there was no restaurant to be found in this place. In the middle of this deep mountain, there is no place to play, and after eating, they will rest separately.
Although Ye Qingqing didn't get motion sickness, after a day of turmoil, he felt that his whole body was about to fall apart, so he went back to the room to rest after eating two bites.
Zhang Sheng wanted to vomit when he saw the food, where could he still eat, so he stayed in the room and refused to come out.
After dinner, Sheng Kai stood on the second floor, looking at the mountains under the sunset, and said to Lin Jiansheng, who was standing beside him: "Mr. Lin, when you were exploring, you were sure which mountain the vein was underneath?"
Lin Jiansheng pointed to several mountain ranges not far in front and said, "See, there are five treeless mountains in succession, called Jinlongling, and the veins are under these five mountains." In the first few explorations, it was determined that there were at least 1 billion tons of iron ore reserves under these five mountains. However, we excavated each mountain according to the positioning of experts, and in the end we still did not see a grain of iron sand......"
Sheng Kai nodded and said, "Jinlongling, the name is domineering. ”
After that, he prepared to go downstairs. Lin Jiansheng asked curiously: "Mr. Sheng, it will be dark soon, where are you going?"
"I went out for a walk and looked around the area. ”
"That'...... Or I'll go with you, you haven't been here before, it's easy to get lost. And there are many wild beasts in this mountain, and it is not safe for you to go out at night. ”
Sheng Kai smiled indifferently: "No, I like to think about problems while walking alone." Just take care of that Taoist friend of mine, he hasn't eaten for a day, and when he wakes up, he'll definitely look for something to eat. ”
Although Lin Jiansheng was a little suspicious, he still nodded. Sheng Hua clearly wants to go alone, and he can't go with him.
Leaving the accommodation of the iron mine workers, he walked directly to Jinlongling.
Of course, he didn't understand geological exploration, let alone how to find ore veins, but because this matter was pressed in his heart, he wanted to go there and have a look.
As for saying that he would get lost, or that there were wild beasts in the mountains, it was a joke for him.
An improvised road leads to the foot of the mountain, with potholes and water in many places.
When I came to the foot of the first peak, I saw a mine, and there were several minecarts parked at the entrance of the mine, and a workshop next to it, in which a few chairs were placed.
He glanced at the door of the mine, and the black rumbling was so loud that he naturally didn't dare to go in.
Climb up a path up the mountain, by this time, the sun has sunk in the west, this side is north, and there is still the setting sun shining on you.
The mountains are bare, with almost no trees, and if there are, they are lonely and very short. Even the wild grass is scarce, and there are hardly patches of plants to be seen.
This may be due to the presence of iron ore at the foot of the mountain, which affects the growth of plants. Moreover, the mountains are almost all bare stones, and it is true that they are not suitable for plant growth.
These five peaks are continuous like the back of a dragon, and the stones on the mountain show a rust color, which seems to refract a metallic light under the reflection of the sun, which is probably the origin of the name Jinlongling here.
In addition to these five peaks, the other surrounding peaks are densely forested and full of life.
Halfway up the mountain, you can see that at the foot of the mountain to the west, there is a small stream that flows in the direction of the village.
It's twelve kilometers from the village, and if it weren't for the iron ore mine here, almost no one would come here.
The sun was setting, but the stars were dotting, and the sky was not so dark that you couldn't see your fingers.
He sat on a boulder on the mountain, thinking about how to determine the source of the iron ore and strive to get out of the mine as soon as possible.
If the output of 1 billion tons can be dug out, it will be an output value of hundreds of billions, and the net profit of more than 100 billion yuan can be fully realized after deducting the production cost.
If this is the case, the rise of the Golden Leaf Company is no longer a dream.
The night in the mountains is not as good as in the city, and when the sun goes down, it looks cooler. Coupled with the gusting mountain wind, it is indeed a little chilly to wear a single clothes.
Feeling the chill, he woke up from his meditation, stepped on the light of the stars and moon, and walked slowly back along the improvised road.
As he walked, he heard the howl of wolves and the roar of some unknown beasts.
Immediately after, a "bang" gunshot startled the tired birds in the forest, and flew into the air, making a burst of noise.
He was taken aback, there were actually people hunting in the mountains at night?
Hunting is now prohibited, and poaching is an offence. However, in this remote mountain village, even if someone poachs, it is estimated that the relevant departments will not know.
The gunshots came from a short distance, on the hillside not far to the left, a few hundred meters away at most.
He was not curious about the poaching of people, and he didn't want to bother with it, so he still walked unhurriedly towards the iron mine station.
As he walked, he heard the roar of a wild beast in his ears, and at the same time heard the exclamation of a man.
In this quiet mountain field, the roars and screams are very clear. He was taken aback, and immediately thought that the hunter might not have hit the beast, but had provoked the beast to anger.
The enraged beast was terrible, and after the sound of the gun, it did not go out again, and it was estimated that the man was using a firecracker. Each shot had to be reloaded with gunpowder and iron balls, and if one shot missed, he put himself in danger.
After being taken aback, he listened carefully to the sounds around him, and soon made out the roar of a wild beast about 400 meters behind the left.
He didn't hesitate any longer, and strode into the woods by the roadside.
Although it was night, the light of the stars and moon made the woods not so dark. If anyone saw his running speed, they would definitely think they would be dazzled and even startled.
His speed is far faster than ordinary people.
Now he judged that someone was in danger, so naturally he couldn't hide his strength, and besides, in this mountain wilderness, it was night, and no one would see it.
As he ran, the roar of wild beasts and the breaking of branches were heard in front of him.
In front of me is a broken wall, there is no way to go up, but there are many towering trees growing under the cliff.
He jumped up a tree and climbed it like an ape, about seven or eight meters, and he could see a flat place in front of him, a figure had retreated to the edge of the cliff, and opposite him, a huge black shadow was rushing towards him frantically.
The situation was urgent, he reached out and broke off an egg-thick branch from the tree, and then kicked his feet on the trunk of the tree, and his body flew up in the air, flying more than three meters sideways, and landed right next to the figure.
At this time, the huge black shadow had already pounced in front of the two of them with a fishy wind.
Without hesitation, he rolled forward, the branch in his hand stabbing upward.
With a sharp howl, the shadow fell to the ground with a heavy blow, and he rolled on the ground again, avoiding the falling shadow.
All this happened very quickly, and in just a few seconds, the man who had retreated to the edge of the cliff was on the line of life and death.
Only then did Sheng Hua look at the black shadow that was stabbed by himself, it turned out to be a wild boar, looking at the size, at least more than 200 catties. The branch had pierced its throat, and it was kicking on all fours, with a dying wail coming out of its mouth.
The figure seemed stunned, and remained motionless and silent. On the ground not far in front of him, there was a firecracker, which must have been frightened out of his hand just now.
He walked over, stretched out his hand and said, "It's okay, get up." ”
The man hesitated a little, and Bloom pulled him up, feeling that his hands were rough and calloused. Looking through the moonlight, I saw that he had a cloth towel wrapped around his head, and his face was wrinkled, and he looked afraid that he was over seventy.
He couldn't help but be stunned, at such an old age, he still came out to hunt at night?
Sheng Bloom went to pick up the fire gun again and handed it to him.
The man took it, and then he came back to his senses: "Thank you...... Thank you ......."
Sheng Kai asked, "You went out hunting alone?"
The old man suddenly let out a long sigh and said, "Now that the country is not allowed to hunt privately, I have no choice but to come out and try my luck." I haven't hunted for years, but I didn't expect to run into such a big guy as soon as I came out. If it weren't for you, I'd ...... I could have died at its mouth. ”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Sheng Hua in a little surprise and asked, "You are not from our village, are you?"
Sheng Bloom nodded and said, "Sort of, my name is Sheng Blossom." ”
The old man said: "My name is Mo Zhong, and the people in the village also call me Mo Laohan......
Then he looked at the wild boar lying on the ground and said, "The young man is very skilled, and he is also from Orion, right?"
Sheng Kai was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Sort of." ”
"No wonder it's so powerful, such a big guy, even if you give it two shots, you can't die, and you killed it with a single branch. ”
"Are you going to get this boar back?"
"This is your prey, don't you plan to carry it back?"
"I'm not here to hunt, besides, did you just say that you had no way to come out to hunt? ”
Mo Laohan said a little embarrassed: "I just wanted to hunt a few pheasants, hares or other small things, and go to the county tomorrow to exchange some money, so that I can buy some medicine for my old woman and come back." I didn't expect to run into this big guy, but I didn't fight it, how can I want your prey?"
When Sheng Kai heard that this old man came out to hunt at night, he actually wanted to exchange money for his wife to buy medicine, and he couldn't help but be a little moved.
"Well, I'll give it to you, and I don't know what to do with it. ”
Mo Laohan looked a little surprised, and said gratefully: "That...... Thank you so much. ”
Then he leaned over to look at the cliff that Sheng Hua had just jumped up, and said, "From here, it's about ten meters, how did you come up?"
Sheng Kai said, "I...... The ...... that climbed up"
Although Mo Laohan thought it was incredible, he also believed it. Besides, didn't you climb up, did you still fly up?
"Drop it off here, it's much closer to the curb. I'll go to the mine and borrow a trolley and transport it back. ”
He looked very excited, and then came to the dying boar, and with a wave of his arms, he actually turned the wild boar over.
Sheng Hua couldn't help but be stunned: this old man really deserves to be born in Orion, and he has the strength to do so.
This place was already close to the edge of the cliff, and Mo Laohan struggled to turn the wild boar off the cliff.
However, he did not dare to climb down like this, this place must be very familiar to him, he glanced at the bloom and said, "Young man, come with me, I know there is a place to go down." ”
Sheng Kai followed him around from another place, but there were still more than three hundred meters away from the road under the cliff, and Mo Laohan would definitely not be able to drag such a large wild boar to the side of the road alone.
He circled the boar twice, and said, "It seems that I must go back to the village and call two men, young man, or you will go back first, and I will find someone." ”
Sheng Kai said, "The two of us should be able to drag it to the side of the road, right?"
More than 200 catties is actually nothing to him. And it's always downhill from here to the side of the road, so it's no problem for him to carry it alone.
Mo Laohan looked at him suspiciously, because the blooming body was not so tall and mighty, so he felt a little suspicious.
"Try it, you won't waste your time dragging it. ”
Sheng Kai saw his suspicions and said with a smile indifferently.
Mo Laohan nodded, and the two of them dragged one leg together, blooming the air flow in their bodies, and the strength on their arms exploded, dragging the wild boar down the mountain.
