"Helplessly, the flowers are falling, and the familiar Yan returns."

Looking at the swallows flying in the sky, Zhao Lin remembered a poem from his previous life.

Half a month passed in a flash, and the weather was completely warm.

During this time, he did not go into the mountains to kill beards, and only observed them in secret twice.

The group of Drilled Mountain Leopards has shifted their positions and entered the Fuli Valley deeper in Baektu Mountain.

The entrance to the original lair Seven Pillars Peak was blocked with rocks, and a large number of animal traps and nails were arranged inside, and it seemed that he was not ready to come back in the short term.

At this time, looking back on the last experience, it is still very thrilling, and the Drill Mountain Leopard actually got a crossbow arrow!

Although I don't know if it was smuggled out of the army, judging by the range and rate of fire, it is not far behind.

If it weren't for the fact that he had mastered the flying skills and overheard the bandits' conversations, he would have been injured in advance.

He was going to lie dormant for a while, on the one hand, to accumulate strength, and on the other hand, to keep the bandits mentally tense for a long time, and to taste the taste of not being afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves.

……

On this morning, Zhao Lin inspected the area under his jurisdiction and turned his head to the Xinglong Dart Bureau in Xicheng.

Liuhemen has a cadre stock in the Xinglong Dart Bureau, and regularly sends people to the Dart Bureau to understand the business situation, and Zhao Lin specially discussed this errand with the master.

The reason for this is still related to the beard.

That day, he overheard the Diamond Mountain Leopard and his subordinates discussing the matter of crossing the mountain fee at Qizhu Peak, and the Tongfu Dart Bureau was only willing to give seventy percent.

Listening to the tone of the leopard, it seems that he wants to teach the Tongfu Dart Bureau a lesson.

Zhao Lin felt that if the dart car of the Tongfu Dart Bureau passed through the area of Baitou Mountain, the beard was likely to come out to rob the dart, and it would be an excellent opportunity for him to snipe.

Before the dart game is released, it is generally out of etiquette to inform the local dart bureau in advance, so Zhao Linming came to check the business status of the dart board, but in fact, he inquired about the news of the Tongfu dart board.

"Senior Brother Zhao, please come in."

The dart head who received Zhao Lin was called Zhu Qinggang, who was in his forties and had worked in the Xinglong Dart Bureau for nearly 20 years, and was worthy of his old qualifications.

Zhao Lin represents Liuhemen, so Zhu Qinggang is commensurate with his junior and younger brother to show his closeness.

"Senior Brother Zhu, the dart game has been doing a good job lately."

Zhao Lin put down the business records of the dart bureau and said with a smile.

Zhu Qinggang also smiled: "Thanks to the care of all families, the road has been safe recently, and there have been no moths." ”

Zhao Lin nodded, took a sip of the teacup, and asked casually: "By the way, I have a friend I haven't seen for many years, and I heard that he makes a dart head in the Tongfu Dart Bureau." ”

"Inquire with Senior Brother Zhu, has there been a convoy from the Tongfu Dart Bureau passing by here recently?"

Zhu Qinggang thought for a while, shook his head and laughed at himself: "I have received a few summonses, but I can't remember which one." Senior Brother Zhao, wait a minute, I'll go check it out. ”

"Then thank you, brother." Zhao Lin said politely.

After a while, Zhu Qinggang walked back quickly, holding an open letterhead in his hand, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Zhao, there really is!" ”

Zhao Lin got up and took it with both hands, and glanced at the envelope, which was printed with the name and emblem of the Tongfu Dart Bureau.

"Senior Brother Zhu, can I read what is written inside?"

Zhu Qinggang didn't care and said: "It's inconvenient to pass on the book to outsiders, but Senior Brother Zhao is his own person, so you can take it and read it, just don't pass it on to others." ”

"Senior brother, don't worry."

Zhao Lin thanked him, took out the letter paper, and unfolded it, the content of the letter was very simple, saying that the Tongfu Dart Bureau planned to pass through the boundary of Qinghe County in April, and inform the peers in advance so that they could take care of each other.

The time is very general, but this is also normal, and the dart is risky, so it is natural to keep it secret.

However, for him, this information is enough, his subordinates are in charge of dozens of fast catchers, and he also has acquaintances on the dock, so it is not difficult to find out the news.

After returning the letter to Zhu Qinggang and greeting him for a while, Zhao Lin got up to say goodbye.

Out of the dart game, the time is past noon.

Zhao Lin returned to the county government and changed into civilian clothes, went out of the city to the north, came to Hejiatun on the outskirts of Baitou Mountain, and found the hunter named Jin Bao who helped him catch the leopard last time.

"Zhao Dongjia, what kind of pintail swift do you say look like?"

Zhao Lin called Jin Bao out of the village, saying that he wanted to catch a bird called white-throated pintail swift, Jin Bao scratched his head and thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with a bird with such a name in Baitou Mountain, so he couldn't help but be embarrassed.

"Look at this, can you remember?"

Zhao Lin took out a piece of paper from his arms, and on the paper was a bird with sickle-shaped wings and needle-like tail feathers.

The bird has a pinch of white under its neck.

"It looks like a swallow." Jin Bao looked at it for a while and said.

"Yes, it's a swallow, but it's a special kind."

Zhao Lin nodded approvingly, and then asked, "Is there any such swallow in the area of Baitou Mountain?" ”

Ever since absorbing the Lark Spirit and gaining the ability to fly, Zhao Lin has been thinking about upgrading the Spirit Soul.

Both the bear and the leopard are representatives of strength and speed, and the lark, although capable of flying, is not among the best among birds.

In winter, birds are hard to find, but now that the weather is warmer and the migratory birds are returning, you can start to prepare.

As for which bird to choose, Zhao Lin thought deeply.

The fastest birds he knew of were probably white-throated pintail swifts, peregrine falcons, and frigate birds.

Of the three birds, the peregrine falcon should be the most famous.

However, the peregrine falcon's strength lies in its flat, streamlined body and unrivaled dive speed, and the pintail swift should be superior only to the flight speed of flapping its wings.

Similar to peregrine falcons, frigate birds are strong in diving.

The white-throated pintail swift is not only fast, but also has excellent flying ability, and even copulation and sleeping are completed while flying, so it can be said that it is a bird born for the sky.

Zhao Lin just wants this ability.

In fact, the lark spirit still releases white mist every day, stimulating the twenty-four acupuncture points, and there is still some time before the bottleneck.

However, Zhao Lin felt that he should prepare first, otherwise when he needed it again half a year later, the swallow would return to the south for the winter.

Jin Bao thought silently for a while, and suddenly patted his head and said, "I remember, I used to see it in the mountains when I was hunting." ”

Zhao Lin glanced at him and asked, "Why didn't you remember it just now?" ”

Jin Bao smiled: "The swallow eats insects and does not harm the crops, so what are you doing with it?" The swallow in your painting flew so fast that you could hear the swishing when you got closer. ”

Hearing the second half of the sentence, Zhao Lin was relieved, took out two taels of silver and gave it to him, and explained: "Old rules, help me catch a live one." After the matter is completed, you ask people to go to the county government to find a catcher named He Qingquan. ”

He didn't want to come forward in person, and it was too abnormal to pay someone to catch the swallows, so it was better to keep a low profile.

Jin Bao was taken aback, and waved his hand again and again: "How can you get so much money for catching a swallow?" When I go into the mountains to hunt and meet, just catch one by the way. ”

Zhao Lin shook his head slowly, "This swallow is not easy to catch, especially if it is alive." You take the money first, and if you catch it, you will be rewarded. ”
