Chapter IV: Kidnapping

After such a delay in Qingyutang, the sky was already bright, and the pedestrians on the road began to increase, Wang Chan estimated that there was enough time to take a break to eat a little at the roadside breakfast stall, and then waited for the bus on the side of the road, and arrived at Hulin County at about nine o'clock in the morning.

In ancient times, Hulin was a "cautious" place, and it was also the ancestral land of fishing and hunting for generations of the Hezhe people. However, this place is located in the midst of several mountains, and the external traffic is not convenient except for the Ussuri River on the waterway, so it has been a vast and sparsely populated area since ancient times, and there are many mountains and forests but few people.

Wang Chan went down the mountain this time, the purpose was to sell the things in his hand for money, and then purchase a batch of what he usually needed, as for the reason why he had to go all the way to Hulin, in fact, he wanted to get back a "thing" specially customized by an acquaintance three months ago.

Because he stays in the depths of the mountains all the year round, he rarely has the opportunity to contact with the outside world, and the so-called acquaintances of Wang Chan in this world are actually those merchants who trade with him every time they go down the mountain.

It's just that this time Wang Chan made a special trip to Hulin to find Zhou Lin, but he was the only exception.

After the reform and opening up, the domestic economic situation is improving, with the establishment of the Hulin border trade port, the small Hulin county is becoming more and more lively, and there are naturally many opportunities to make money. This Zhou Lin is an extremely "four seas" character, in his forties, because of his flexible mind, clever skills, and a harmonious relationship with the local black and white, so he has a lot of fame in Hulin, and he is also one of the first people in China to get rich.

Zhou Lin's main business was to deal in some local local products on the surface, and to sell a large number of mountain goods such as mountain monkey head, fungus, wild vegetables, etc., but his biggest profit was actually the bulk smuggling trade carried out behind his back. Relying on the gradual expansion of border trade, Zhou Lin had already monopolized most of the underground trading markets in the entire Hulin area a few years ago, whether it was the transportation of wild and rare animals and plants protected by the state in some areas of the country, or the continuous smuggling of precious timber to the opposite Russian region, this person did it seamlessly.

The interaction with Zhou Lin originated from a chance encounter in the mountains many years ago, when Zhou Lin did not have the same weather as it is today, and only operated a small private travel agency to solicit tourists who were interested in traveling and exploring the Great Xing'an Mountains, and organized group tours. Because of the lack of distinctive tourism projects, and heard that there was a temple of Emperor Guan built in the Qing Dynasty on the tiger leader, Zhou Lin had the courage to run into the mountains alone to visit, but unexpectedly the mountains were high and dense, lost the road, missed the time, but was targeted by a hungry and anxious "old red hair", has been following behind.

If it weren't for the fact that Wang Chan, who happened to pass by when he came back from collecting medicine, he slapped the old red hair to death with one palm, and Zhou Lin, who was exhausted, hungry and thirsty, would have died sooner or later.

"Old red hair" is actually a kind of wild wolf in the mountains, but the wolves in the Great Khing'an Mountains are very different from the wolves in other places, usually the coat color is blue, greedy and ferocious, when predating in groups, there are at least a dozen, the locals call it the green wolf. And this kind of green wolf has to leave the wolf pack to live alone after getting old, because it eats too much flesh and corpses, and the long hair on its back turns brownish, so it is called old red hair.

In addition, because this old wolf is expelled from the wolf pack, the surname is suspicious, the physical strength declines, and the predation is very different from the usual green wolf, only trailing behind the prey for a long time, often following is thirty or forty miles, after the human and animal spirit is exhausted, it will wait for the opportunity to move, bite off the throat of the prey from behind, is the most treacherous and dangerous wolf in the mountains.

That is, after that adventure, Zhou Lin recovered from his injuries in Wang Chan's Guandi Temple, and when he returned to Hulin, he decided to close the travel agency that had gradually embarked on the track, and began to grow from small to large, and started the business of smuggling. And the interaction between him and Wang Chan also came from this.

In the next few years, Zhou Lin also went to the Guandi Temple once or twice from time to time during the New Year's holidays, and Wang Chan also took it from him a few times because of the sometimes dispensing medicine, and the old ginseng that became more and more rare in the mountains came to the emergency. However, he does not owe Zhou Lin favors, although the ginseng is precious, but most of the tiger skins and bear skins he has accumulated over the years have also fallen into his hands, laying a "solid" foundation for Zhou Lin's future fortune.

From this point of view, in fact, Wang Chan is still one of the suppliers behind Zhou Lin's smuggling.

Everyone has their own way of living, and they all have to take responsibility for their actions in a sense. Zhou Lin smuggling, if he violates the law of the country, he will naturally be punished by the law of the country, Wang Chan does not think that this has anything to do with himself, and he is not very disgusted in his heart.

As long as this matter does not involve his own head, there are tall people who will not be able to hit his own head when the sky falls.

As the practice of kung fu became more and more sophisticated, the ebony pole that Ping said used to practice spearmanship was obviously not very good, so Wang Chan found Zhou Lin when he went down the mountain three months ago, and asked him to find a way in the south to customize a big gun, and this time he came to get it.

In modern society, the cold weapons used to fight, especially things like big guns, have either been sent to museums for exhibition, or have been treasured by some people as antiques. Even if you spend money to buy it, it is also worth a lot of money, not to mention the big gun customized by Wang Chan, and there are many unique requirements, which are tailor-made for himself, and the asking price is even more outrageous. That's why he brought a complete tiger skin, which can be regarded as bartering and rewarding Zhou Lin.

Although with Zhou Lin's current net worth, he may not care about this money, but Wang Chan has his own standards for how to behave in the world. Money is something outside the body, there will always be if there is no favor, but human favor is the most difficult thing to repay, if it is not necessary, you must never owe favor, otherwise it will be troublesome to pay it back.

Walking on the road to Zhou Lin's house, Zhou Lin should have just gotten up not long at this time, if it is not surprising, Wang Chan thinks that he should be able to meet Zhou Lin on the road. Although this Zhou Lin is doing illegal things, he has earned enough money for him to spend in ten lifetimes over the years, but he does not waste his daily life, and is even a little frugal and low-key, he never spends money that should not be spent, and even drives himself when he goes out, and rarely takes a group of bodyguards around.

The weather in the morning was still very refreshing, and it was not yet hot and humid, Wang Chan walked slowly on the road, turned a corner, and saw Zhou Lin walking out of his villa from a distance with a long canvas backpack that looked very heavy, and was just about to say hello.

Suddenly, an old-fashioned jeep suddenly started the engine, rushed straight across the road, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived next to Zhou Lin, who was stunned, and did not stop, but the speed was slightly slow, and he saw two big men with flat heads jumping down from the jeep, one left and one right, smashing Zhou Lin unconscious with a punch, one holding his head and one raising his feet, and throwing Zhou Lin into the back seat of the jeep in a blink of an eye.

Then there was a buzzing sound, and he turned into a fork in the road ahead, and disappeared.

"Kidnapping!" Wang Chan's eyebrows flashed, and he immediately reacted that Zhou Lin had been kidnapped.

"This Zhou Lin Ping said that what he did was to buy and sell for money, and in the past two years, the underground trade in the entire forest protection area accounted for more than half, and he must have made a lot of enemies in the open and secret, and he was not used to it by many people. Fortunately, I bumped into you today, otherwise your life would have been lost!"

Seeing the scene just now, the two big men who jumped off the jeep, from the beginning to the end, just swept away a big living person "silently" in less than a minute, and there was no superfluous action, and they were all vigorous and uniform, obviously they would not be ordinary "kidnappers", even if they were far from Wang Chan's eyes, they were at least good at martial arts and martial arts for several years.

Wang Chan saw it in his eyes, and naturally he couldn't ignore it, but his starting point at this time was that the big gun he customized was still in Zhou Lin's hand, if Zhou Lin had three long and two short, wouldn't the big gun he painstakingly designed become "running water", and he could never get it back!

"If I hadn't looked away, the canvas bag that Zhou Lin was carrying just now contained my big gun, it's really not that I'm strong, there's really no way! You captured Zhou Lin, it is equivalent to snatching my big gun, count you unlucky!"

Laughing violently in his heart, Wang Chan suddenly felt that his blood was boiling, he had practiced kung fu for so many years, and he was always in the mountains, practicing with wild beasts, and he had never fought with people, but today was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

As if seeing his favorite toy, Wang Chan moved under his feet, and the person had already carried a sack filled with tiger skin and rushed out fifty or sixty steps away, followed by a foot on the ground, and with a bang, his whole person was swept out like a storm.
