Chapter 190: The Afterlife
"Bear bile." Li Zhiqing exclaimed softly, "You dare to blatantly sell contraband." "Bear bile products are also prohibited from circulation in China, and those who sell them will be punished by law.
Sun Zhengqing glanced at her disappreciably and said: "This young lady doesn't seem to be an understanding person, you don't have to make such a fuss, my bears are all from Southeast Asian countries, there are no local bears in our country, and my customers are all tourists from foreign countries, and they don't sell them inside." ”
Chen Pi stopped Li Zhiqing's next words, and asked with a smile: "Can Mr. Sun guarantee that we won't be embarrassed here if we buy bear bile, if we buy it and are detained and confiscated by the police, wouldn't it be boring to find ourselves." ”
Sun Zhengqing replied confidently: "I can't guarantee other places, but as long as you don't take it out of the Bear City area, we guarantee that you can leave Huaguo smoothly, and no one will embarrass you. ”
"If that's the case, I'd like to buy some, I wonder how much Mr. Sun can offer now?" Chen Pi pondered for a moment and said, "If the quality is good, I can buy it in large quantities." ”
A look of joy flashed on Sun Zhengqing's face and said: "I can provide you with twenty catties of fresh bear bile taken out that day, and if you can buy it all, I can give you another fifty yuan per tael." ”
Chen Pi didn't look at Lin Xingchen, whose face had sunk to the extreme, nodded and said to Sun Zhengqing: "You can pay by credit card or check, I didn't bring that much cash, and I hope to see you take bile with my own eyes." ”
"There's no problem with this, it's just that the environment in the bear farm is a little worse, if you don't care, please come with me." Sun Zhengqing stood up ecstatically and said.
Everyone followed Sun Zhengqing to a string of bungalows on the edge of the ranch, as soon as the door was pushed, there was a smell of smell, Li Zhiqing couldn't help frowning, covering his nose with his slender hand, although Chen Pi and others did not move, but they also held their breath, only to see a large series of cages placed on the elevated shelf two feet above the ground in the room, the cages were about 1 meter high and wide, about 1.2 meters long, all rusty, and there were depressed brown bears lying in the cages.
"You don't have to worry, in order to prevent the bears from hurting people, these bears have been cut off their claws, their teeth have been pulled out, and they can only eat liquid food, and they can't bite people at all." Sun Zhengqing said with a smile.
"Why is that bear always shaking his head?" Zhao Youcheng pointed to a bear and said.
"Ah, it's." Sun Zhengqing glanced at the bear and said disapprerovitically, "Because they stay in the cage all the year round, the house is dark all year round, and there is little sunlight, these bears' mental state has become poor, without exception, they are slow to react and lack wildness, and sometimes they will repeat the action of shaking their heads for a long time in a monotonous and meaningless manner, which is very normal and does not matter." ”
"Mr. Sun, what are these bears wearing?" Chen Pi frowned and pointed to the black vest-like thing on the brown bear in front of him, which looked hard and thick, and wore two iron rings on his shoulders.
"This is to prevent the bear from hurting itself, we are a live bear to take the gall, and we must do an operation on the bear." Sun Zhengqing explained, "In this operation, a metal tube is permanently inserted into the bear's gallbladder, the other end is exposed outside the bear's abdomen, and the bile is connected to a long leather tube through which the bile flows into the container. ”
"Because it hurts to take bile, and these bears will keep scratching the iron tube in their abdomen, and sometimes even scratch their abdomen into a bloody blur, so they wear this thing to prevent their self-harm."
"Come with me, there are staff members here who are pumping bile, you can watch them do it. I guarantee that the bear bile is freshly extracted. Sun Zhengqing led a few people to the next room.
I saw three men in white coats walking into the room from the other side of the room with iron hooks and a few containers, and the bears, who had been languishing, suddenly wailed as if they had seen a ghost, and it was obvious that every bear knew that another catastrophe was coming.
After greeting Mr. Sun, the three men stood in front of a bear's cage.
One of them stretched out his iron hook and hooked it around the bear's neck from behind, and the bear immediately bared its teeth and howled, and the bear farm immediately resounded with the heart-rending cry and moan of the bear.
The bear had a knife in its abdomen, and an iron tube was inserted above the knife that went straight to the gallbladder, and when the bile was taken, the tube could be opened, and when the dark green bile was drawn out one by one, the poor bear opened its mouth wide, wheezing violently, his eyes bulging, and his limbs trembling.
The bile-pumping bear was huddled in the cage with his belly clutched, and his little sparkling eyes were still filled with helpless tears.
Seeing this cruel scene of live bears taking bile for the first time, everyone couldn't help but look at the poor brown bear in the cage with unbearable faces.
Sun Zhengqing obviously also noticed everyone's expressions, and explained with a smile: "We are also doing this for the good of bears, and there are many benefits to taking bile from live bears." ”
"First, bears are widely distributed in the world and are rich in resources, and compared with other rare animals, the number is not small;"
"Second, bears destroy crops, harm livestock, and harm human interests, so that we can turn harm into treasure;"
"Thirdly, bear bile is a treasure in traditional medicine, and it would be a shame to cancel it completely;"
"Fourth, bile has the ability to regenerate, just like blood, and feeding bears for bile can protect the resources of wild bears;"
"Fifth, this can solve the problem of employment and even wealth for many people, so many benefits, why don't we do it?"
Li Zhiqing raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically: "But you are abusing animals, these bears are being brutalized by you here, and you are basing your own interests on the suffering of the bears." ”
"Based on the pain of bears?" Sun Zhengqing looked at Li Zhiqing in surprise, as if looking at aliens, "Then why do you still eat chickens and ducks, slaughter pigs and sheep, don't you say that these mouthful enjoyments of yours are not based on their pain, your fur coats and leather bags, which ones are not based on the pain of animals?" ”
Li Zhiqing immediately blushed, but still said: "Don't confuse the public here, the use of animals and the abuse of animals are two completely different things, if you admit that it is wrong to abuse animals, you should distinguish between abuse and reasonable use, and you can't say that bears have violated the interests of humans, but can only say that humans have violated the interests of bears, and now it is bears that have lost their habitat and have violated the interests of humans, you don't put the cart before the horse." ”
Sun Zhengqing glanced at Chen Pi with a little uneasiness, only to see Chen Pi watching those people extract bear bile with an expressionless face, and it seemed that he didn't notice Li Zhiqing's dispute with himself at all.
Sun Zhengqing said helplessly: "Miss, do you want to protect people or animals, you must know that bear bile is used to treat people." ”
Li Zhiqing said coldly: "Forget it, don't take others for fools, I know that there are many medicinal materials that can replace bear bile now, and the medicinal effect is not inferior to bear bile, and your behavior has violated the law, I must report to the local police, close this place, and you must all be punished by the law." ”
Sun Zhengqing smiled and said to Chen Pi: "This gentleman, I didn't force you on this deal, we are willing to buy and sell, don't you care about your subordinates?" ”
At this time, he already felt that something was wrong.
Chen Pi clasped his hands in front of his chest and smiled coldly: "First, she is not my subordinate, she is my guide, and I have no right to control her; Second, I think she has a point, and if she doesn't report to the police, I'd like to do it. ”
Sun Zhengqing's face changed greatly, and he pointed at Chen Pi angrily and said: "You dare to play with me, I see that you are a compatriot, so I asked you if you want to, you actually help this woman speak, you are so bold, do you know who is covering this place, if you still want to get out alive, it is best not to meddle in things, otherwise you will die here and there will be no one to mourn." ”
Zhao Youcheng pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "You are embarrassed to say that you are compatriots with us, which really makes me feel ashamed." Chen Pi nodded sympathetically.
Sun Zhengqing was so angry that he trembled, and said viciously: "Okay, you are toasting and not eating and drinking, and tell you that there are shares of the trial organization here, you had better think clearly, what will happen if you are enemies of the trial organization here, Lao Zheng, Lao Zheng, someone has come to make trouble." The men who took bear bile also put down the container, took the iron hook used to hook the bear, and stood behind Sun Zhengqing with a fierce face.
Judgment again!
Chen Pi couldn't help but feel on fire in his heart, since the disaster came, he has been constantly in conflict with the trial organization, this is the case in Sichuan-Chongqing Airport, this is the case in Liangtai City, and now he has come here to relax, and there are even trial forces intervening in it, and it is really worthy of its name, and the forces are all over the corner.
Li Zhiqing immediately said: "Trial? It turns out that they are behind the back, so you have so much courage to do such a violation of law and discipline, call their person in charge to come out, and see who has the courage to be our enemy. Lin Xingchen sneered and watched the excitement from the sidelines, although the trial is one of the best here, but if you want to be the enemy of the underworld, it can only be said that the rabbit is looking for trouble with the wolf and looking for death.
While speaking, six or seven burly men with iron rods in their hands broke into the house with big knives, and the man headed by him had a horizontal face, and at a glance he was a troublemaker, only to see him holding an iron rod in his right hand, and looked at Chen Pi and the people viciously: "Are these blind people making trouble here, haha, there is a beautiful girl." ”
His pair of fish bubble eyes immediately stared at Li Zhiqing's body, and looked up and down carefully: "Brothers, work harder, we will have fun at night when we kill them, it is difficult to see such a beautiful girl." ”
"Smack!"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Xingchen had already jumped up and gave him two big slaps, which made his eyes full of Venus, his body turned around twice, and he sat down on the ground, spit out two back molars from his mouth, and Li Zhiqing nodded gratefully to Lin Xingchen, who had retreated to the same place.
"They are so bold that they dare to fight."
"Oops, Lao Zheng's tooth was knocked out by that man." Sun Zhengqing and his group shouted in a mess, but no one dared to come up and make a move, none of them saw clearly how Lin Xingchen was defeated, but they felt that Lin Xingchen's body flickered, and then there was a crisp slap sound, and then Lao Zheng turned over and fell to the ground.
Lao Zheng covered his face and stood up slowly, and said inwardly, "Who are you?" We are full members of the Judgment, and if you strike me, you are enemies of the Judgment, and here we will have our people to settle accounts with you wherever you go. Lin Xingchen's two slaps woke him up, knowing that the person in front of him was not something he could resist, and tried to scare off Chen Pi and the others with the reputation of judgment.
Sun Zhengqing couldn't help but be dumbfounded, he originally thought that Chen Pi and them were just an ordinary tour group, so he wanted to sell them some bear bile to make some money, but he didn't expect these people to even pay attention to the famous trial.
Li Zhiqing sneered: "Although the trial is the first organization, we haven't taken it into our eyes yet, even the elders in your guild have to be respectful when they see us, and you even use them to scare me, it's really a short-sighted guy." ”
At this time.
A terrible bear roar suddenly sounded in the room, interrupting Li Zhiqing's words, and everyone turned their heads to look at the sound, only to see that in the corner of the room, a bear that didn't look big was tearing at the wound in his abdomen like crazy.
The knife had been torn open by it, and the intestines had been exposed, but the bear didn't seem to feel any pain at all, and was still tearing it desperately, trying to pull it out, and the bears in the whole bear house roared wildly, and the sound was full of grief and helplessness.
"That bear is crazy."
"Prepare the axe."
"The bear's paw must be cut down while it is alive to sell for a good price." Seeing this scene, Sun Zhengqing immediately forgot about the existence of Chen Pi, and shouted loudly to the men who were taking bile, "Hurry up." ”
"Which of you would dare to do it." Chen Pi shouted, "Stand where I am." With this full of energy, not only Sun Zhengqing and the others were stunned by him, but even the bear stopped roaring.
Chen Pi quickly came to the cage, only to see that the bear had already pulled out his intestines, and was pulling it outward, obviously it was no longer incurable, Chen Pi sighed secretly, and hit the back of the bear's head with a palm, and the bear immediately fell into the cage softly, and there was no sound.
Chen Pi slowly turned around and asked Sun Zhengqing coldly, "How many bears do you have here, and can the wounds on their abdomen be healed?" ”
Sun Zhengqing cringed into the crowd of people in a trembling voice: "There are a total of one hundred and fourteen bears, this kind of operation is a permanent operation, the wound will not heal completely at all, I am also acting on orders, this is none of my business." Seeing Chen Pi kill a live bear with a single palm, his heart was filled with infinite fear.
"Permanent surgery." Hearing this, everyone's hearts couldn't help but tighten, which means that these bears are completely out of happiness in this life, even if they imagine that the same kind outside the house live an unfree life, it is absolutely impossible.
Chen Pi sighed and said to everyone: "Let's send them away, they have enough of this kind of life that is worse than death, go early and take care of their lives, may they have a happy afterlife." ”
