Chapter 440: Deep Mountains and Old Forests (5 Updates)

440

Taisheng Mountain is a mountain with a low altitude, but it is famous for its steepness.

Because there are no beautiful scenery here, only stretches of trees, it has not been developed into a tourist attraction. I don’t know whether this is lucky or unfortunate for Taisheng Mountain. It has not been developed and maintains the most primitive and natural nature. Scenery, but it cannot bring any contribution to the local GDP.

Of course, Taisheng Mountain is somewhat famous in the surrounding area because the mountain has not been developed. There are many wild animals in the mountain, including wild boars, snakes, pheasants, hares, etc. It is also rumored that there are clouded leopards here.

In addition to these animals, there are also many precious Chinese herbal medicines on the mountain. Many nearby mountain people like to go up the mountain to collect medicines during their spare time, and then sell them in the market down the mountain to supplement their family income.

In addition to these, there are many precious trees in the mountains, such as yews and the like. It is precisely because of this that footworkers often come to the mountains to cut down and illegally cut down trees. For this reason, the local government has also made great efforts to control them. Unfortunately, this mountain is too big. There is no signal on mobile phones once we enter the mountain, so it is very difficult to arrest people.

Xu Taiping and Hua Bailu's car arrived at Meihu Town, a small town under Taisheng Mountain, at night.

"You can enter the mountain in a while. Prepare some things first. After entering the mountain, I hope you can listen to me in everything. I am quite familiar with this mountain. We only need to collect a few herbs before leaving. , remember, in this mountain, don’t trust anyone else except me. There are many poachers and poachers in the mountain. If you encounter these people, stay away from them. There are also those who go into the mountain to collect medicine. , sometimes a medicinal herb may be worth one or two hundred thousand, for money, they will do anything, you must protect my safety, otherwise, no one will provide Xiaobao with follow-up treatment. " Hua Bailu said seriously to Xu Taiping.

"Is it possible that people can kill people and set fires in this mountain? Is that so evil?" Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"You can really kill people and set fires. I'm not trying to scare you. There is no development in this mountain. There are no roads in the mountain. If you are killed and thrown into the mountain stream, no one will ever find you in this life." Your bones may eventually be eaten by wild beasts like clouded leopards, and then there will be no bones left," Hua Bailu said.

"I understand, it's a place of lawlessness," Xu Taiping said.

"It can be said that after entering, you just need to trust me and be careful in everything!" Hua Bailu warned.

Xu Taiping nodded. In fact, he had been to places that were countless times more dangerous than the Taisheng Mountain. Xu Taiping definitely knew more about such places than Hua Bailu, but since Hua Bailu wanted to treat him as a rookie, Then Xu Taiping is happy to be a rookie. When the time comes, Hua Egret can come forward. As a rookie, he only needs to be responsible for protecting Hua Egret, which is still very easy.

Everything is sold in the small town at the foot of the mountain. It is said that there are still a lot of people entering the mountain. Xu Taiping even saw someone stealing money, which is still rare in China.

After Hua Bailu finished shopping, the two found a hotel, put on camouflage uniforms, and headed to the foot of the mountain on a rented motorcycle.

After riding for about half an hour, Xu Taiping and Hua Bailu arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Hua Bailu seemed to be quite familiar with this mountain. The two of them found a place with no vegetation, and then started to climb up the mountain.

Both men had a lamp on their head, and the lamp illuminated the road ahead. It could be clearly seen that there was really no road in this mountain, there were bushes everywhere, and you had to make your way out on your own.

"The herbs we want are about ten kilometers ahead. We can get there around four in the morning. Although you are better than me, in this mountain, you still have to follow my footsteps and try not to make too much noise when walking. "Yes, if you see wild animals, don't be nervous. If you don't attack them, they won't attack you." Hua Bailu said as he walked.

"Are you really a descendant of Hua Tuo?" Xu Taiping asked curiously.

"I don't know either. Anyway, that's what it says in the genealogy." Hua Bailu said.

"Then when did you learn medical skills?" Xu Taiping asked again.

"It's very early. Don't ask these meaningless questions. Walk with peace of mind and be careful where you step. Don't miss the mark." Hua Bailu said.

"good!"

The two of them walked towards the mountains one after another. After walking for more than two hours, Hua Bailu suddenly raised his hand to signal Xu Taiping to stop.

Xu Taiping stopped.

"Someone is illegally logging." Hua Bailu said with a frown.

The sounds of logging came from directly in front of the two of them.

"Is there a detour?" Xu Taiping asked.

"No, keep moving forward, just pretend you didn't see it! The illegal loggers are different from the poachers. They usually don't have guns in their hands, and they rarely rob the people collecting herbs. Let's be careful about this!" Hua Bailu walked forward as she spoke, and Xu Taiping quickly followed her.

After the two people walked for a few minutes, they saw a group of people.

This group of people were gathering around a tree, then waving their hoes to cut down the tree. When they saw Hua Bailu and Xu Taiping, this group of people stopped what they were doing and looked at Hua Bailu and Xu Taiping with vigilance. Xu Taiping.

Hua Bailu kept walking forward without looking directly. Xu Taiping followed suit and continued walking forward without even looking at the wave of illegal harvesters.

The group of people watched Xu Taiping and Hua Bailu leave without saying a word from beginning to end.

After Xu Taiping and the others walked away, the sound of chopping down trees sounded again.

"Poaching and poaching are all profitable businesses." Hua Bailu said as he walked, "The tree that the group cut down just now can be sold for at least 100,000 yuan, and they only have to pay a little bit. It’s just a labor force, so many people will come in to poach, and the same goes for poachers, but most poachers carry guns, which is more dangerous. They will rob other poachers, and they will also rob herb collectors. Occasionally here There will be a fight.”

"Does the government not care?" Xu Taiping asked.

"No matter what, but there's nothing you can do about it. This mountain is so big that you don't even know who's here. There's no way to set up surveillance here. Even if you know someone was killed here, it's hard to find the body. And , Poaching is illegal, they prey on others, and many of them will not call the police, so how do you check?" Hua Bailu asked.

"Have you encountered it?" Xu Taiping asked.

"We encountered them before, but I ran fast and they didn't catch up with me." Hua Bailu said.

The two continued to walk forward. After walking for about an hour, suddenly there were shouts from the woods in front of them.

"Stop, don't run!"

"Oh no, stop for me!"

Along with the shouts, bursts of gunfire rang out, and then screams came.

"ah!!"

It looked like someone had been shot.

"It's over, poachers!" Hua Bailu raised his hand to grab Xu Taiping, turned off the light on his head, and lowered his body.

Directly in front of the two people, bursts of white light could be seen flashing, followed by bursts of dog barking.

"It's still a gang!" Hua Bailu's expression changed slightly and he said, "What bad luck."

While talking, Xu Taiping suddenly saw a few people rushing out of the woods directly in front of him. Those few people had just run a few steps before they staggered and fell to the ground. Then, another group of people came out of the woods. After rushing out, this group of people led dogs and held shotguns. The total number of people was about ten.

"Still running? Where are you running?" A man in camouflage uniforms in this group looked at the people lying on the ground with a grin and said, "You deserve to be damned for wasting so much of our time."

"Don't kill us, we will give you everything we have!" The few people who fell on the ground shouted.

"Put their things away for me," said the man in camouflage uniforms.

Several men around him immediately stepped forward and collected all the packages from the group on the ground, and then took away some of the things they carried with them.

"The harvest is pretty good!" The man in camouflage uniform checked the package and then said, "Let me ask you something. Where can I collect golden lotus grass?"

"I don't know, we don't know." The group of people lying on the ground shook their heads.

"Don't know?" The man in camouflage uniform sneered, picked up the shotgun and shot a person.

boom!

With a crisp sound, a group of birds flapped their wings and flew into the sky.

The man who was shot by the shotgun wailed and fell to the ground, only breathing out but not in.

"Don't you know yet?" the man in camouflage uniform asked.

"We really don't know!"

"boom!"

There was another gunshot, and another person fell.

"I'll give you one last chance." The man in camouflage uniform said.

"I said, I said, I remember someone said that someone found money grass on Duandao Cliff three kilometers away to the northwest. That's all I know. As for whether it is there, I really don't know. "Someone cried and said.

"Duandaoya? That's it." The man in camouflage uniform nodded and said, "Wouldn't it be better if we said this earlier? If we had said this earlier, the two of you would have died together."

As the words fell, there was a burst of gunfire.

The few remaining people also fell to the ground.

"Throw it into the ravine over there." The man in camouflage uniform pointed at Xu Taiping and the others and said.

"It's over." Hua Bailu whispered, "We have to run."

"Yes!" Xu Taiping nodded and said, "Can you run?"

"I should ask you whether you want to run or not?" Hua Bailu said.

"Then I'll count to three, two, and one, and let's run together." Xu Taiping said.

"Okay!" Hua Bailu nodded.

"One!" Xu Taiping gave the order, turned around and ran away.

Hua Bailu's eyes widened, looking at Xu Taiping who had run away, and couldn't help but curse.

"Your uncle's!"
