The car drove away, Pei Qing was full of thoughts about how to make money, he took off the shotgun on his body and stroked it, and said secretly in his heart: Shotgun, you have to do me a favor and pick the most valuable prey to shoot...... Pei Qing raised his eyes and saw a series of rolling mountains south of the town road, with peaks and mountains, lush forests, he thought that there must be valuable roe muntjac and other wild things hidden there, and decided to go hunting. However, he crossed the highway and walked along the village road for about one hour, and came to the foot of a majestic mountain peak, where a sign was erected at the intersection, which read: Hunting is strictly prohibited in Hushan Forest Park, and violators will be fined and detained.

After reading the words on the sign, Pei Qing's heart was half cold. Before he could be stunned, a man watching the mountain flashed out of nowhere and shouted at him, you must put down your shotgun when you enter the forest park, or you will confiscate it. Pei Qing had to reply, I won't go into the mountain.

Then he aimlessly followed a mountain road around the foot of Tiger Mountain to the south, on the other side of the mountain is the water of the middle section of the Yangtze River, he walked a section of the mountain road to see the rolling rushing river, for a moment, the depression in his heart seemed to be diluted by the river water, he walked to the weeping willows of the river, and caught a glimpse of an egret in the artemisia grass by the river that was also staring at the river like him, perhaps waiting for an opportunity to fish.

Instinctively, he took off his shotgun and prepared to shoot it, but immediately a thought came to him: it was not worth much, so why should it kill him? Before he could recover his senses, the egret flew with its wings, it did not fly very high, its flapping wings were almost close to the sparkling river, and it flew to a forest on the opposite bank, and rested leisurely on a tree.

Pei Qing casually watched the egret fly away from the river, what made him careless was that Jiang Xin suddenly rose up a huge wave, and a monster with the beating of the huge wave fell into his sight, the head of the monster was like the head of a giant python, but it was much larger than the head of a giant python, and it was covered with scale armor, gray-brown, thicker than the scale armor of the giant python, especially the pair of royal blue eyes, like a glass ball inlaid with it, although it could not rotate flexibly, but it was very bright and a little eerie.

This monster may have noticed everything on the river, but what is it going to do? Of course Pei Qing didn't know, he wondered in his heart, this monster must be a rare species, it must be very valuable, can he get it? Pei Qing crouched under a clump of artemisia grass with a shotgun, waiting for it to approach, maybe the monster had spotted Pei Qing and taken him as a target, and was swimming towards this side from the heart of the river.

At this moment, Pei Qing could see very clearly, the monster was covered in dark scale armor, and the belly and tail fin attached to the torso were like mutant dinosaurs. The monster drifted towards it like a piece of wood, he was a little nervous, but his clenched shotgun emboldened him, and he stared at it calmly, and when he was about two meters away from the shore, he was about to open fire.

No, let the monster get closer, shoot it closer, so that it can be salvaged. The thought crossed his mind, and suddenly the approaching monster leaped to the shore in an attempt to capture him and eat it.

At the same time, he picked up his shotgun and shot at the monster's gaping giant tooth staggered blood basin mouth, "Bah, bah", the monster that jumped up from the water swung its neck painfully because of the bullet, it fell down before it could turn around, its neck fell to the shore, its body full of scale armor and tail fell into the water, splashing everywhere, and a few drops were still splashed on Pei Qing's face.

Pei Qing wiped his face and looked at the half-turned monster that was still trembling but couldn't move, and found that it had four legs that were like turtle claws but thicker than turtle claws, and a white belly like a turtle with a belly.

Pei Qing didn't dare to get close, and was even worried that it would jump up and attack him by chance, the monster was two meters long, and its swollen belly was like a huge skin, if it attacked successfully, it could swallow Pei Qing alive without swallowing. For the sake of safety, Pei Qing fired another bullet and picked up his shotgun to shoot at the monster's head at close range. After the gunshots rang out, all was quiet and the monster never moved again.

Pei Qing raised his head to look at the river, lest a similar monster emerge from some wave, he looked for a while and did not find the situation, but he saw a wooden boat rowing on the opposite bank in this direction. There is a man standing on the boat, wearing a belt, wearing a straw hat for the shade, and holding a penny.

The man rowed the wooden boat to the center of the river, and he couldn't wait to shout to this side, hey, who shot just now, and what did he kill? Pei Qing raised the shotgun and replied, Hey, I shot a monster, I can't call it famous, you can take a look.

The man rowed the wooden boat near the riverbank, stood on the sampan and looked at the corpse of the monster, and suddenly exclaimed, "No, you hunter has committed a crime?"

What's the matter? Pei Qing looked at him nervously. He said, you are hunting a crocodile, which is a national second-class protected animal, and you have broken the law.

Pei Qing touched his head and said helplessly, I don't know that it is a national second-class protected animal, and it is also a crime? The man kicked the wire mesh stacked on the boat, as if to add to the momentum of his speech. He said that it doesn't matter if you know whether it is a national second-class protected animal, what matters is that you have constituted a crime. When the fishery department found out, they not only confiscated your shotgun, but also detained you, and even sentenced you, that is, you were arrested and imprisoned.

Pei Qing looked at the dirty blood that came out of the crocodile's shot gun and said timidly and regretfully, is it that serious?

Of course, as long as I make a sound, you will have to be shackled in less than 24 hours.

At this time, the sun was slanting in the west, and it was still quite sunny, and the man was sweating profusely, taking off his straw hat and grabbing the curl to fan the wind freely.

Pei Qing was really scared, he cast a begging look at the people on the boat, and whispered, this master boatman, don't make a noise, okay? As if I didn't see it, I immediately tried to dig a pit and bury the dead crocodile, and no one knew about it.

It's a good idea. The boatman said that it was too risky, and maybe the staff of the fishery department would come to patrol immediately, and it would take time for you to dig a pit and bury it, and time would not allow it, and you would have no chance to converge.

How is that good? Can the master shipwright find a way with me?

There is a way. The boatman said, brought the wooden boat close to the shore, dropped anchor, and he motioned to Pei Qing to drag the dead crocodile onto the boat, and then he covered the meridian dense fishing net, which was considered to hide the dead crocodile.

The boatman also asked Pei Qing to take off the shotgun and cover it with a fishing net, Pei Qing was a little weak-hearted, so he had no choice but to do this, and asked him where he wanted to transport the dead crocodile to bury it.

The boatman pulled the anchor and prepared to prop up the ferry, casually saying that burying a fart, no matter where it is buried, it will be easy to be discovered. He leaned close to Pei Qing's ear and whispered, this crocodile is quite valuable, sell it, there is a foreign businessman in Jiangbei who buys skins, and the value of crocodile skins is particularly high. However, this is a private transaction and can only be done in secret. Pei Qing thought: Isn't this what is often referred to as smuggling? He suddenly asked worriedly, there would be no problem, right?

Just be cautious and nothing will go wrong. The boatman held up for a while, and the wooden boat turned around and swam towards the center of the river, the water surface was slightly uplifted, dark yellow, although it was imposing, but it was turbid and unsettling.

The boatman looked around, and said to Pei Qing, who was standing on the sampan, "If you sell it for a good price, can't we do it for half a branch?" Pei Qing nodded without hesitation, thinking that he was in need of money, so he curiously hunted this monster that might be valuable in the water.
