Chapter 192: Thanksgiving
The lair of Zhou Lingshi, the leader of the poaching ring, is deep in the Himalayas.
This is a typical three-way zone.
The division of land still belongs to Nepal, but in fact, it is far beyond the actual jurisdiction of Nepal.
Even the rangers in the mountains don't dare to go so deep, because the poaching gangs here are really murderous without blinking.
Zhou Lingshi's gang has been rooted here for ten years, and it is only because they have been here for a long time that they are familiar with the terrain, and the leaders Zhou Lingshi and Mao Dahai have some ability, which can barely be maintained.
However, the status quo is worrying.
Because in this mountainous area, as poaching becomes more and more rampant, there are fewer and fewer valuable things.
In their territory, the Indian rhinoceros is a valuable prey, which is already very rare, and if you can occasionally run into one or two passing by, you will win the jackpot.
Zhou Lingshi actually had the idea of changing careers for a long time, but his brothers were all brought out of his hometown by him when they were teenagers, and they didn't know anything except hunting, and they didn't have much capital in their hands.
So it's hard to change careers.
When he met Lin Shuo's team, he originally wanted to have the courage to blackmail a sum of money, and then simply ran away and changed careers.
At this time, he was restrained by Lin Shuo, and when he learned the identities of Lin Shuo and others, Zhou Lingshi was both nervous and excited, thinking that this was an opportunity.
So he didn't dare to hide anything along the way, and told all the things about his group over the years like pouring beans.
Cao Yusheng's ability to see people is first-class, so after chatting about this day, he has a rough idea of the situation of this group of people.
Cao Yusheng evaluates a person's good and evil, there is no absolute standard, but it depends on the environment.
In the city, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and you should be spurned for stealing a dollar.
But when you are about to starve to death in this poor mountain and bad water, it is very rare to raise the muzzle of the gun an inch without taking people's lives.
Cao Yusheng asked A
e, there were a few robberies on the mountain before, and the bullets were not loaded.
People, in fact, are not bad.
The leader Zhou Lingshi used to learn the craft in the Wu family in southern Yunnan and wanted to be a craftsman.
As a result, after learning the craft, I found that I was unemployed after graduation and had no way to live.
Men are afraid of getting into the wrong business, and that's what they say.
Zhou Lingshi found that he couldn't mix in his hometown, so he took a group of boys from his hometown out to wander.
This person does not have the ruthlessness to do the business of robbing houses and houses, killing people and stealing goods, so he can only go to this kind of mountainous area and do poaching business.
Although it was illegal, I finally found a professional job.
It's just that since people have fallen into this field, and they still have a trace of kindness, in fact, life is very difficult.
Although it is an old poaching gang, the territory of this group of people in Zhou Lingshi is getting smaller and smaller, and there are fewer and fewer people.
The nest has also moved several times, and the more it moves, the more remote it becomes.
Now their old nest is in a cave in this deep mountain and old forest.
It's not a natural cave, the gang carved it themselves.
It's not very good, and I haven't thought about ventilation at all.
As soon as Lin Shuo entered, he felt that the smell inside could push himself out.
At this time, Lin Shuo also understood that Zhou Lingshi brought his people here, not because he really wanted to entertain, but because he turned his belly and showed off his family.
This person has a clear mind, and knows that inside the Hunting Gate, Lin Shuo's group of people is the Heavenly King Laozi, and he doesn't have to pay attention to any face.
Because the grades of the two groups of people are too different, even if Lin Shuo gives him face, he can't catch it.
At this time, it is wise to quickly reveal the bottom and express surrender without concealment.
It's better to be embarrassed than to lose your life.
At this time, Zhou Lingshi looked very embarrassed, and said in his mouth: "These little bastards, they don't know how to clean up before going out." Wait, Boss, give me some time. ”
At this point, Lin Shuo also figured out the bottom of this person, his face looked a little better than before, and he waved his hand: "Forget it, so be it." ”
At this time, it was already dark, and Zhou Lingshi groped for the lamp.
The lamp was an oil lamp, and Lin Shuo smelled the smell and knew that it was burned with animal fat.
With the faint light, Lin Shuo looked at the furnishings in the cave.
The oil lamp rested on a table.
The table was placed at the mouth of the hole, missing a leg, and was made of stones, and there were several stone piers on the side of the table.
Other than that, there was nothing decent, except for a few broken quilts spread on the floor, and it was not obvious that this was a place where people lived.
It's not a good day.
At this time, several other members of this poaching team also came back one after another, all empty-handed.
It's no wonder that empty-handed, the gun in his hand was previously A
E was smashed and couldn't hit the prey.
Lin Shuo looked at this scene, and his heart was angry and funny.
I came to the base camp of this poaching gang as a guest, and now I see what it means, I have to treat myself to dinner.
As a result, before Lin Shuo could speak, Zhang Jin saw that these people were pitiful, and he had already divided the jerky.
This morning, Zhang Jin and Wei Xingshan had a bumper harvest, and the dried meat all over the mountains added up to more than 300 catties, and the backpacks were not enough to stuff at all.
Zhang Jin made a flat pole with bamboo, tied the dried meat into two piles with straw rope, and covered it with leaves, so he picked all the way.
This group of poachers, one of them was given a piece of jerky, and they didn't dare to come in, so they squatted five meters away from the entrance of the cave and gnawed dry.
Zhou Lingshi also got a piece, he was more elegant, squatted on the edge of the table, and ate it with his hands.
Eating and eating, this man shed tears.
"You're a big heart. Cao Yusheng pointed at Zhou Ling with a folding fan, "If I mix like this with my brother, I won't be able to cry." ”
Cao Yusheng's words fell, and Zhou Lingshi seemed to be said to be in the sore spot all of a sudden, and he collapsed to the ground and cried loudly.
As soon as he cried, more than a dozen men outside also began to cry.
Lin Shuo sat on the stone pier, holding the jerky in his hand, feeling as if he had entered a cemetery.
At this time, he had no appetite to eat, and Lin Shuo handed the jerky in his hand to Zhang Jin beside him.
Zhang Jin ate very well, and the burden of more than 300 catties was carried for a day, and the young man consumed a lot, so he hurriedly took it over and gobbled it up for a while.
Lin Shuo waited like this for a while, and the crying inside and outside was almost the same, and then he said: "Zhou Lingshi, you get up, I have something to ask you." ”
"Hey!" Zhou Lingshi wiped his tears with the back of his hand and stood up.
"White-headed flying corpses. Lin Shuo asked, "Do you really know, or do you pretend to know?"
"I really know!" Zhou Lingshi nodded vigorously and said, "When I was studying art in the Wu family before, my master Wu Tiannan told me that it was the spirit of the Cao family. ”
"It turns out that you are Wu Tiannan's apprentice. Cao Yusheng suddenly said, "Wu Tiannan, I am the only one in the Wu family who I can look at, the old man is almost seventy this year, and his ability is good." ”
"Master Cao, you have a bad memory. Counting up, my master and his old man are seventy-nine years old this year, almost eighty. Zhou Lingshi corrected.
"Oh. Cao Yusheng smiled, "That's my mistake, it seems that you are indeed the willow of southern Yunnan." ”
"I don't dare hide that from you. Zhou Lingshi hurriedly said.
"But it's useless to know the origin of the white head flying corpse. Lin Shuo then asked, "Have you seen it with your own eyes?"
"Yes. Zhou Lingshi said, "We have this thing in the Himalayas. ”
"Tell me more. ”
"Originally, I wasn't sure if that thing was a white-headed flying corpse, I thought it was like it, but I had only heard of it before, but I hadn't seen it. Zhou Lingshi said, "As soon as the head of the Cao family asked this morning, I understood, I didn't have to run this matter, it must be it."
Speaking of which, I almost died at its hands.
That was five years ago, when we were better mixed than we are now, with thirty-two people and a lot of territory.
At that time, I found a female rhinoceros that had just reached adulthood, and it was the time when the Indian rhino was in heat, and I thought that she would definitely go to mate with the male.
As long as you keep up, if you're lucky, you might find an entire herd of rhinos, and you'll make a fortune!
So I took my seventeen brothers and hung it from afar.
As a result, this little female rhino, the route is still coquettish, turning around and around, and we are lost!
Anyway, the whole route must be getting north and north, because the altitude is getting higher and higher, and we people have a feeling.
By the time we reached an altitude of four or five thousand meters, several of my brothers had already developed altitude sickness and their morale was very low.
I don't think it's okay to go on like this, or forget it, since God won't give it, let's not rob it, it's a long time coming.
As we walked down the mountain, a shadow suddenly passed through the air!
I didn't see it right at the time, it was too fast, and I just had a little bit of a look in my eyes.
It should be not small, about the same as a person.
Then I lay down, my ears hurt, my head hurts, and my heart hurts as if someone has pulled it out!
I could only roll on the ground, I couldn't do anything, and I passed out.
When I wake up again, my brothers are all gone.
The ears were full of blood, and they were already clumped.
Chief, it's too high up there!
I'm useless in my week, I really can't memorize the corpses of those seventeen brothers......"
Speaking of this, Zhou Lingshi's eyes turned red again, and his voice began to choke.
"You're a blessing in disguise. Cao Yusheng said at this time, "You were rolling in the snow, this action saved you, did you get water in your ears at that time?"
"Yes. Zhou Lingshi took a breath and nodded.
"That's right, that's the white-headed flying corpse. Cao Yusheng said.
"At that time, that flying corpse flew over you?" Lin Shuo asked again.
"yes. Zhou Lingshi nodded, "I'm sure I can't be wrong about this, it's just flying over, with wings!"
"Oh, wings. Lin Shuo nodded, "Okay, do you remember the place where the accident happened?"
"Boss, I'll never forget that place in my life. ”
"Okay, then you can rest well tonight and take us there early tomorrow morning. Lin Shuo said, "The revenge of your seventeen brothers, I will help you avenge it by the way." ”
"Thank you, Chief!"
