Chapter 440: Deep Mountains and Old Forests (5 more)
440
Taisheng Mountain is a mountain with a small altitude, but this mountain is famous for its steepness.
Because there is no beautiful scenery here, only stretches of trees, so it has not been developed into a tourist attraction, and I don't know whether this should be considered the luck or misfortune of Taisheng Mountain, which has not been developed, and it maintains the most primitive and natural natural scenery, but it cannot bring any contribution to the local GDP.
Of course, Taisheng Mountain is still a little famous in the surrounding area, because the mountain has not been developed, there are many wild animals in the mountain, wild boars, snakes, pheasants, hares and so on, and it is rumored that there are clouded leopards here.
In addition to these animals, there are many precious Chinese herbs on this mountain, and many nearby mountain people like to go up to the mountain to collect medicine when they are not working, and then sell them in the market at the bottom of the mountain to supplement their families.
In addition to these, there are a lot of precious trees in the mountain, such as yew and the like, and it is precisely because of this that there are often footmen who run to the mountain to steal and cut down and steal logging, for which the local government has also made great efforts to remediate, but this mountain is too big, there is no signal on the mobile phone when entering the mountain, and it is very difficult to arrest people.
Xu Taiping and Hua Bailu's car arrived at Meihu Town, a small town at the foot of Taisheng Mountain, at night.
"You can enter the mountain in a while, prepare some guys first, and after entering the mountain, I hope you can listen to me in everything, I am still relatively familiar with this mountain, we only need to pick a few herbs to go, remember, in this mountain, except for me, don't trust anyone else, there are a lot of poachers and poachers in the mountain, and if you meet these people, you will hide far away, and those who go into the mountain to collect medicine, sometimes a herb may be worth one or two hundred thousand, for money, they can do everything, you must protect my safety, otherwise, Xiaobao's follow-up treatment will not be done for him。 Hua Bailu said to Xu Taiping seriously.
"Could it be that you can still kill people and set fires in this mountain, it's so evil?" Xu Taiping said with a smile.
"It's really capable of killing people and setting fires, it's not that I scare you, this mountain has no development, there is no road in the mountain, you were killed, just throw it into the mountain stream, don't think that anyone can find you in this life, your bones may be eaten by wild beasts such as clouded leopards in the end, then there are no bones left." Hua Bailu said.
"I see, it's the land of lawlessness. Xu Taiping said.
"Suffice it to say, after you go in anyway, you just need to trust me, be careful in everything!" Hua Bailu advised.
Xu Taiping nodded, in fact, he has been to places that are more dangerous than this Taisheng Mountain, and he definitely knows more about this kind of place than Hua Bailu, but since Hua Bailu wants to treat him as a rookie, then Xu Taiping is also happy to be a rookie, and when there is anything Hua Bailu will come forward, he, a rookie, only needs to be responsible for protecting Hua Bailu, it is enough, it is still very easy.
The town below the mountain sells everything, and it is said that there are still quite a lot of people entering the mountain, and Xu Taiping even saw someone stealing *, which is still rare in the land of China.
After Hua Bailu purchased good things, the two found a hotel, changed into a camouflage uniform, and then took a rented motorcycle to the foot of the mountain.
It took more than half an hour to ride before Xu Taiping and Hua Bailu came to the foot of the mountain.
Hua Bailu seemed to be quite familiar with this mountain, and the two of them found a place where there was no grass and trees, and then began to climb the mountain.
Both of them had a lamp on their heads, and the lamp illuminated the road ahead, and it was clear that there was really no road on this mountain, and there were bushes everywhere, and the road had to be walked out on their own.
"The herbs we want are about ten kilometers ahead, we can get there at about four o'clock in the morning, although you are better than me, but in this mountain, you still have to follow my footsteps, try not to make too much noise when walking, if you see wild animals, don't be nervous, if you don't attack them, they won't attack you." Hua Bailu said as he walked.
"Are you really Hua Tuo's descendant?" Xu Taiping asked curiously.
"I don't know, that's what the genealogy says anyway. Hua Bailu said.
"Then when did you learn medical skills?" Xu Taiping asked again.
"It's very early, don't ask these meaningless questions, walk with peace of mind, be careful under your feet, don't step on the air. Hua Bailu said.
"Good!"
The two of them walked towards the mountains one after the other, and after walking for more than two hours, Hua Bailu suddenly raised his hand and signaled Xu Taiping to stop.
Xu Taiping stopped.
"Someone is poaching. Hua Bailu said with a frown.
The sound of logging came from directly in front of the two of them.
"Is it a detour?" asked Xu Taiping.
"No, keep walking, just act as if you didn't see it! Poachers are different from poaching, they usually don't have guns in their hands, and they rarely rob and collect medicine, let's be careful about this!" Hua Bailu said as she walked forward, and Xu Taiping hurriedly followed behind her.
After the two men walked for a few minutes, they saw a group of people.
This group of people was surrounding a tree, and then waved the hoe in their hands to cut down the tree, and when they saw Hua Egret and Xu Taiping, this group of people stopped their movements and looked at Hua Egret and Xu Taiping vigilantly.
Hua Bailu didn't look straight at it and continued to walk forward, Xu Taiping also did the same, he didn't look at the wave of thieves, and continued to walk forward.
The group of people watched Xu Taiping and Hua Bailu leave, and didn't say a word from beginning to end.
After Xu Taiping and the others walked away, the sound of cutting trees sounded again.
"Poaching and poaching are all profitable businesses. Hua Bailu said as he walked, "The tree that the gang cut down just now can be sold for at least 100,000 yuan when it moves out, and what they have to pay is only a little bit of labor, so many people will come in to steal the wood, and those poachers are the same, but most of the poachers have guns, which is more dangerous, they will rob other poachers, and they will also rob those who collect medicine, and there will be occasional firefights here." ”
"Does the government not care?" asked Xu Taiping.
"Anyway, but there is no way, this mountain is too big, you don't know who is here, and there is no way to set up surveillance here, even if you know that someone has been killed here, it will be difficult for you to find the body, and besides, poaching is illegal, they eat black, and many of them will not call the police, so how do you check?" Hua Bailu asked.
"Have you ever encountered it?" asked Xu Taiping.
"Yes, but I ran fast and they didn't catch up with me. Hua Bailu said.
The two of them continued to walk, and after walking for about an hour, suddenly there was a burst of shouting from the woods in front of them.
"Stop, don't run!"
"Damn, stop for Lao Tzu!"
Accompanied by shouting, bursts of gunfire rang out, followed by screams.
"Ahh
It seems that someone has been shot at home.
"It's over, poachers!" Hua Bailu raised his hand to grab Xu Taiping, turning off the light on his head and lowering his body.
Directly in front of the two, bursts of white light could be seen, followed by bursts of dog barking.
"It's still a gang!" Hua Bailu's face changed slightly, and he said, "It's too bad luck." ”
While speaking, Xu Taiping suddenly saw a few people rushing out of the woods in front of him, and those people had just run a few steps before they staggered and fell to the ground, and then, another group of people rushed out of the woods, this group of people led dogs and held shotguns, and the total number of people was about ten.
"Where are you going?" said a man in camouflage uniform, smiling at the men who had fallen to the ground, "you guys are damn wasted so much of our time." ”
"Don't kill us, we'll give you everything we have!" cried out the fallen men.
"Put away their stuff for me. Said the man in camouflage uniform.
A few of his subordinates immediately stepped forward and put away all the packages on the group on the ground, and then took away some of the things they were carrying.
"The harvest is pretty good!" the man in camouflage checked the package, and then said, "I ask you something, where can I collect nasturtium?"
"I don't know, we don't know. The crowd on the ground shook their heads.
"Don't know?" the man in camouflage sneered, picked up his shotgun and fired a shot at a man.
Bang!
With a crisp sound, a flock of birds fluttered their wings and flew into the sky.
The man who had been shot with a shotgun let out a wail and fell to the ground, with only air out and no air in.
"Don't you know?" asked the man in camouflage uniform.
"We don't know!"
"Bang!"
Another gunshot rang out, and another man fell.
"I'll give you one last chance. Said the man in camouflage uniform.
"I said, I said, I remember someone saying that somebody, three kilometers to the northwest, had found desmodium, and that's all I knew, and I don't know if there was any. Someone cried out.
"Broken Knife Cliff? The man in the camouflage uniform nodded and said, "Wouldn't it be nice to say that earlier, if you said that, you would have died together a long time ago." ”
The voice fell, and a burst of gunfire rang out.
The rest of the men fell to the ground.
"Throw it into the ravine over there. The man in camouflage uniform pointed to Xu Taiping and said.
"It's over. Hua Bailu whispered, "We have to run." ”
"En!" Xu Taiping nodded and said, "Are you running?"
"I should ask if you can run, right?" Hua Bailu said.
"Then I'll count three, two, one, and run together. Xu Taiping said.
"Okay!" Hua Bailu nodded.
"One!" Xu Taiping gave an order, turned around and ran.
Hua Bailu's eyes widened, looking at Xu Taiping, who had already run away, and couldn't help but curse in his mouth.
"Your uncle!"
