In the early morning, the Chixia Mountain was still shrouded in a pale cyan mist.

The tender branches and leaves are wrapped in crystal dew, swaying gently in the breeze.

When the frightened birds chirp, the trapped beasts cried.

Every inch is the purest appearance of primitive nature.

In the bushes hidden by the dead branches, the two figures came closer and closer.

Looking at Zhao Lang, who was constantly approaching him, Jiang Li frowned a little vigilantly.

"Do you have to squeeze over to me?"

Zhao Lang lowered his eyes and glanced at her who was squatting on the ground and was about to shrink into a ball, and his eyebrows were dyed with a somewhat ridiculous smile.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid of being exposed."

Jiang Li retracted his gaze, and then his gaze fell into the mist in the distance.

"Are you sure those people are hiding here?"

Zhao Lang nodded, "I've been stepping here for several days in a row, and they are indeed hiding here, and I can see fresh footprints nearby every day." ”

"So you can find out what the hell they're up to?"

Zhao Lang didn't speak, but stretched out his hand.

After a moment he shrank back again, a jet-black feather in his palm.

"Any idea what this thing is?"

Jiang Li stared at it for a while.

"What kind of bird feathers must be?"

It's a dark and bright color, and at first glance it doesn't look like an ordinary bird.

After all, she can recognize a common one, seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, this, she really hasn't seen it.

Zhao Lang said: "This is the feather of the corolla wrinkled helmeted hornbill, which I found in their activity area when I stepped on the spot. ”

Jiang Li keenly captured the key words.

"Hornbill, isn't that a first-class protected family?"

Zhao Lang showed some approving eyes, "Yes, the population of the corolla wrinkled helmet hornbill is very scarce, and many expert groups have come to us before, but they have only collected some specimens, and have not tracked this group, but now."

Zhao Lang's meaning is already obvious.

Chixia Village is strategically located and blessed with many wild animals.

In the early years, Chixia Mountain was also designated as a nature reserve, and hunting and logging were prohibited, and villagers in nearby villages were usually only allowed to go up the mountain to cut some weeds, pick up some wood, and pick some fungi.

These people must have aimed at Chixia Village's remote transportation and poor external communication capabilities, so they secretly hunted rare wild animals here to achieve the purpose of illegal activities and profiteering.

I didn't expect to be bumped into by them by mistake.

Afraid that his whereabouts would be exposed and arouse suspicion, he turned to hide in the deep mountains and old forests.

They can't hide their purpose, and Jiang Li can guess a thing or two.

Because further north from here, there is the famous Hoh Xil no man's land.

Although it is extremely dangerous, it is also the most desirable escape paradise for criminals.

They only need to hide for a while, and when the attention of outsiders is completely away from them, they can escape with the stolen goods.

"Before, the people in your program team were here, and these people didn't dare to do anything, and now that your people have basically left, I think they should be moving soon." Zhao Lang said, "There is not much evidence in the first place, if you really let them slip away, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to investigate further." ”

Jiang Li nodded in agreement.

Zhao Lang continued: "It's not a good idea for us to attack rashly, the steep terrain of Chixia Mountain, large-scale activities will inevitably disturb the wildlife here, and I don't know how many weapons they have. ”

Jiang Li's eyes deepened.

"Since we can't take the initiative, why don't we lure the snake out of the hole?"

"What do you mean?"

She smiled, "As you said, these rats are getting impatient, so we might as well add fuel to their fire." ”

"Didn't you say before that your village was going to hold the Dutton Festival in a few days, and before that, please mobilize more villagers to come to the mountains for activities, the bigger the movement, the better."

Zhao Lang suddenly understood Jiang Li's intentions, and laughed along.

"It's worthy of Miss Jiang, as smart as ever."

"I know what to do."

-

After parting ways with Zhao Lang, Jiang Li also went down the mountain with a bamboo basket on his back.

As soon as I turned into the path into the village, I bumped into an uncle.

Jiang Li, a person from Chixia Village, has already recognized seven seven or eighty-eight, and at this moment she can greet the villagers with complete ease.

"Uncle Xu, good morning."

Xu Bo, who heard the voice, raised his head suddenly, and when he saw Jiang Li, his two eyes directly completed the crescent moon.

"Ah, it's Jiang girl, you didn't leave, do you want to stay in our village for two more days?"

Jiang Li didn't deny it, and nodded with a smile, "Yes, it just so happens that my brother is going to live here for a while, so I'll stay with him." ”

I don't know which sentence angered Uncle Xu, the other party's face suddenly turned over, and then he snorted coldly.

"Jiang girl, you are a good girl, there is no one in our village who does not boast about you, but your brother is too bastard!"

Jiang Li suddenly had some bad thoughts.

"What's wrong with Jiang Yan?"

Xu Bo snorted coldly and did not speak.

At this time, two more uncles came to meet him, and after seeing Jiang Li, they all showed the same looks as Uncle Xu.

The same thing was said -

"Take care of your brother when you're fine, it's too unusual."

At this moment, Jiang Li's face was not very good-looking.

What did this Jiang Yan cause him again?!

After hurriedly saying goodbye to a few uncles, Jiang Li hurried towards the direction of the thatched house with the basket on his back.

Halfway through, I saw that the well in the village was full of people.

To say that he saw so many people in normal times, Jiang Li would not be surprised.

After all, this is the only public water well in Chixia Village, and it is normal for there to be a lot of people.

But now all the people around there were women, aunts, and little girls.

It's so unusual.

Jiang Li quietly walked over.

Before she could get closer, she heard a familiar voice—

"Oh, auntie, you don't know how hard I usually train my muscles, this thing didn't happen overnight."

The eldest lady's echo voice came from the side, "Oh, don't say it, my belly is full of fat, and it's still a good young man, strong and strong." ”

"I thought that all the people from the capital were fat heads and big ears, but I didn't expect this Young Master Jiang to have a strange figure."

Jiang Yan laughed proudly, "That's it, if it weren't for the fact that I didn't eat this morning, and I was hungry and didn't have the strength to lift water, my muscles would be stronger than this." ”

"I haven't eaten yet, so let's go to my house and eat, I made some chicken soup in the morning."

"Oh, let's just say that you young people can't dive, let the eldest mother come, the eldest mother will not be tired of picking ten buckets of water a day."

When Jiang Yan heard this, he was happy.

Has his purpose been achieved?

However, just as he was about to smile in response, as soon as he looked up, he met a death stare.

The next second, his smile froze on his face.
