【Chapter 057】 Poaching farce
After packing up the vegetables the next morning, Liu Rui helped his father to walk to the yard dam to enjoy the scenery down the mountain.
Since these days, Liu Jiahong has recovered well, and his legs, which used to feel soreness and pain from time to time, have gradually normalized, and the time for standing and walking has been extended. Liu Jiahong already felt that his legs had become stronger and could support his movements, and it seemed that the day of recovery was just around the corner.
Seeing that his father's recovery was in good condition, the boulder in Liu Rui's heart was finally put down, and it seemed that some mysterious substances contained in the space spring water also had considerable benefits for Liu Jiahong's injured leg. Now I don't have to expose the secret of the existence of Shennong space, I can keep my family in a healthy body, and I am naturally very happy in my heart.
After a heavy rain, the sky is clear and clear, and a few white clouds like cotton wool are floating in the sky. In the fresh air, there are crisp and pleasant birdsong from time to time, and it seems that they are also cheering for such a wonderful weather.
Shangliang Village, where there was a bit of turmoil last night, seemed to have regained calm, and looking down from the courtyard dam, every household was rising smoke as usual, and the barking of chickens and dogs could be clearly heard. In the distance, the radio in the elementary school has begun to sound, and the dolls are rushing to school, chasing and playing all the way, and the crisp laughter breaks the boundaries of time and space, making Liu Rui vaguely return to his carefree childhood.
When Ma Changquan came, he was complaining about the muddy machine farming road again, and after Liu Rui listened to it many times, he was also immune, but he smiled silently.
"Xiao Liu, what's going on in your village? When I passed by the village committee just now, there were a lot of people gathered there. While weighing the dishes, Ma Changquan suddenly asked.
"It's not very clear, our family is at the end of the village, and we are the last to know about the things in the village." Liu Rui had a 'you know' expression.
Liu Rui secretly thought, what happened last night?
Steal? Burglary? Wounding or other cases of bad surnames?
In the past few years, there has been no criminal case in Shangliang Village for a long time, and at most some trivial quarrels between villagers can be properly resolved with the mediation of the village committee. In Liu Rui's memory, the most serious thing in the village is that the police station caught gambling, caught some idlers who gambled, and fined them.
As soon as the front foot sent Ma Changquan away, Liu Rui heard a rapid siren from the bottom of the mountain.
Liu Rui's heart 'chuckled', and his first reaction was that something big had happened!
The Qingyun Town Police Station only has a dilapidated Yanjing 212 jeep, and most of the police go to the countryside on motorcycles or even bicycles, and there are no regular police vehicles at all. Now that the siren sounded at the foot of the mountain, at least it was someone from the county public security bureau who came down, so I'm afraid the matter is not small.
Just when Liu Rui was still thinking about what was going on, a half-year-old child ran into the yard out of breath, saying that the old branch secretary had invited Liu Rui to go down the mountain.
Liu Rui didn't say a word, stepped on the bicycle, and rushed down the mountain like an arrow off the string.
When he came to the village committee, Liu Rui found that no less than two or three hundred villagers had gathered here, and everyone was gathering in a group, pointing and pointing inside. Riding on the car, Liu Rui could vaguely see the constantly flashing police lights of the police car inside, and the others were tightly blocked by the crowd and could not see clearly.
Pushing the bicycle under the big banyan tree, Liu Rui spent most of the day squeezing in through the cracks in the people and found Wang Huaguo, who was talking to a third-level police inspector inside.
At the base of the village committee, snakeskin bags and iron cages are being placed, and several people with their hands handcuffed are also squatting there, contrasting with each other.
Liu Rui took a closer look, there were things in the seven or eight snakeskin bags that were constantly wriggling, and Liu Rui knew from experience that it should be a reptile such as a snake. The iron cages used by the villagers to store chickens and ducks are filled with wild animals such as civets, owls and pangolins, some of which are constantly wailing.
Liu Rui saw that some wild animals were already injured and bleeding, and even motionless and dying, presumably either in the process of catching them, or in the process of transportation.
After Liu Rui saw it, he immediately understood that this was a major case of theft and trafficking of wild protected animals, and it was no wonder that the police cars of the county public security bureau had come down.
Liu Rui looked at the people squatting under the wall, and found that except for a young man who looked a little familiar, the others had no impression at all, presumably not the villagers of Liang Village. Such a discovery somewhat relieved Liu Rui, at least there were no villagers involved in the case, which was a great luck in misfortune.
"Uncle Huaguo, what's going on?" Seeing that Wang Huaguo and the police had ended their conversation, Liu Rui hurriedly greeted him.
"It's not all about money!" Wang Huaguo sighed and explained the truth of the matter.
To the southwest of Liang Village, there is also a small mountain village called Zhu'ao, which is named after the continuous bamboo forest. The scale of Zhu'ao Village is not large, and there are only seventy or eighty households and less than 300 villagers. Zhuao Village is also on the outskirts of Xiaoqingshan, but because of its geographical location, the villagers there have to pass through Shangliang Village if they want to think of the county seat.
Since those mountain goods dealers began to operate in Shangxialiang Village, the trend of buying mountain goods soon swept to Zhuao Village, and the poor and crazy villagers were naturally smiling. Although the Forestry Bureau's legal popularization propaganda team also went to Zhu'ao Village to carry out routine publicity, there will always be people who are willing to take risks.
The villagers of Zhu'ao Village moved quickly, entered Xiaoqingshan from the mountain road, and spent more than half a month catching a large number of wild animals, ready to sell them to wild dealers for huge profits. It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, their actions are fast, and the actions of the Forestry Bureau are not slow at all.
The forestry checkpoint on the edge of Qingyun Wharf has become an insurmountable natural hazard, making the villagers of Zhu'ao Village and a few wild goods dealers who have paid a deposit like ants on a hot pot, and they are anxious.
In the end, they were forced to have no choice, so they wanted to take advantage of the heavy rain last night, go down to the lake from Shangliang Village, take a boat through Xiaojing Lake and Xiaotongjiang, avoid the blockage of the checkpoint, and finally transfer the goods to the north bank of the Tongjiang River.
Unfortunately, when they were about to board the boat, they were discovered by a villager from Shangliang Village who got up in the middle of the night to check the fields, so they were captured by the militia. It had rained heavily last night, and the villager was worried that his field near the lake would not drain well and drown his newly planted vegetable seeds, so he went to the lake to take a look, and deserved the bad luck of the wild food dealers.
Liu Rui saw the noise in the village in the middle of the night last night, that is, the villagers were chasing these poachers, but they missed a good show.
"And what about these wild animals?" After learning what happened, Liu Rui also felt a little heavy.
Poor and crazy villagers, lured by a lot of money, will inevitably have some people willing to take risks, and the most hateful should be the wild animal dealers who wave the yuan and the diners who like to eat wild animals when they enter the restaurant.
"What else? After the comrades of the Public Security Bureau collect evidence and archive it, they will be released into the mountains and forests immediately! Wang Huaguo waved his hand with some interest and said: "It's good to take this opportunity to give the villagers an education, and I hope there will be fewer such things in the future." ”
Liu Rui was a little silent, the essence of the matter was still because of poverty, if the villagers were rich, such a thing would definitely rarely happen.
Liu Rui estimated in his heart that most of these wild animals are national second-class protected animals, and there are still a lot of them, I am afraid that after the trial and verdict of the whole case, several villagers in Zhuao Village will not be able to escape from a few years of fixed-term imprisonment. Looking at these middle-aged villagers, they thought to themselves that the pillars of the family had entered, leaving their wives, children and elderly parents to guard at home, and a good family would be almost ruined.
Under the leadership of the third-level police inspector, the forestry police were very efficient, and soon counted all the prey and took pictures for archiving. The uninjured prey was handed over to the staff of the Forestry Bureau, who asked them to release the prey back into the forest as soon as possible with the help of the Shangliang Village Committee. As for the injured prey, they are put into special cages, placed on pickup trucks, and brought back to the Animal Protection Center of the Forestry Bureau for appropriate treatment, and then released into the wild after they recover.
Liu Rui, who had been following the side to help, looked at the wild animals with a slightly innocent look, and his mood could not be calmed down for a long time.
From a scientific point of view, there is not much difference in the nutritional value of domestic livestock and poultry and wild animals, but many people want to eat all kinds of strange wild animals because of their curiosity, and use this as a capital to show off. In the past, Liu Rui had heard that some people liked to eat monkey brains raw, and after reading the relevant information, Liu Rui felt shuddering at that time.
How can people be so cruel?
It was not until noon that everyone had finished disposing of all the wild things, and only a little wild cat was left lying in the corner of the cage and dying.
"It's just an ordinary feral cat cub, we in the Forestry Bureau don't have that much energy to take care of it, you try to save it." A Forestry Bureau technician glanced at the little wildcat and ignored it.
The Forestry Bureau's annual funding and manpower are quite limited, and these staff will of course target those star animals that are protected by national laws, and as for these wild cats, they really don't have that much time and energy to take care of them.
Looking at the little wild cat that seemed to be about to be lost at any time, Liu Rui's compassion suddenly rose, and he remembered the magical effect of space, so he immediately picked up the little wild cat and put it in the car pocket. The little wild cat opened its blue eyes and looked at Liu Rui, and closed its eyes tiredly, seeing that Liu Rui was distressed.
Perhaps, it is necessary to revive it!
