Chapter 309 Poaching
Song Moting and his team also saw snowflakes. At the moment they saw the snowflakes, they had actually walked into a valley in the distance.
In the deepest part of the valley, they saw two cabins.
Although they had not found the way out yet, they were all happy to see the cabins.
There are many cabins in the forest farm in this mountain, because the forest farm workers have to go everywhere to cut wood from time to time, and often the workers live in the cabins for one to two months.
So some simple cabins were built everywhere, just to provide workers with a temporary place to live.
Whether there are people now is one thing, but at least seeing the cabin is like seeing hope. Where there are cabins, there are likely to be workers.
At least they don’t have to be exposed in the wilderness tonight, and it’s snowing again.
In this kind of weather, their chances of survival in the wild are very low.
The three people walked desperately towards the cabin, and it seemed that the distance was very close.
In fact, this distance was not close at all.
As the snow got heavier, their vision blurred, and this section of the journey almost made people dizzy.
When they were about to approach the wooden house, there was a sudden roar.
Accompanied by a loud noise.
Song Moting threw Jiang Xiaoxiao to the snow.
Zhang Baocheng had already fallen to the side of the road.
Jiang Xiaoxiao's ears were ringing due to the loud noise, and she still didn't know what happened.
She only saw Song Moting's mouth opening and closing in front of her, but she didn't know what he was saying.
Zhang Baocheng rolled over and rolled into the ditch in front.
Then there was another loud noise.
The snow in front of Zhang Baocheng was stirred up by snowflakes. Zhang Baocheng didn't dare to move and huddled on the ground.
Song Moting hugged Jiang Xiaoxiao.
He used his body to protect her tightly.
He didn't hear it wrong just now, he heard the sound of gunfire.
Guns are controlled by the state. Guns will appear here, and he can clearly tell that the sound of this bullet is the sound of a homemade shotgun.
You know, hunting is prohibited here.
But there are often some people who secretly take risks and bring homemade shotguns to the mountains to poach.
He didn't know whether hunting was allowed in other places, but there were clear regulations in the forest farm.
The land of the forest farm belonged to the state and the collective, and it had been fenced off!
No one could enter the forest farm casually, but now someone brought a gun in, which meant that these people were here to poach.
Because they had seen many rare animals on the mountain in the forest farm, such as tigers.
Some people would take risks to make money, for example, tiger bones and tiger skins can be sold at a good price.
Not to mention that some people need things like bear paws, which are all explicitly prohibited by the state.
Coming out of the woods, five people were holding guns in their hands, and the black muzzles were pointed at the three of them.
"Raise your hands above your head. Now, go into the house."
Someone commanded.
Song Moting observed, thinking about how to get out of trouble.
With his skills, it was not difficult for one person to deal with five people, but the biggest difficulty was that these five people actually had guns in their hands. Although they were homemade hunting rifles, homemade hunting rifles were also lethal.
Jiang Xiaoxiao had no ability to resist at all, and with Zhang Baocheng.
It was no problem for him to resist.
If these people shot directly, he would not be injured, but Jiang Xiaoxiao and the other two would probably become the target of injury.
Even if there was a little danger, he would not let his wife take this risk and use Jiang Xiaoxiao's life to be a hero.
The three people were taken into the house. As soon as they entered the house, the hot air in front of them made their breathing stagnate.
The air in the house was very turbid.
When they walked into the house, they found that they saw two small houses, and there was actually another small house behind the small house.
It's just that the house behind was probably used to store sundries, and it was not as tall as the house in front.
There were seven or eight people in the house in total.
Each of these people held a hunting rifle in his hand.
When he saw the three of them, he looked up and down.
Jiang Xiaoxiao could see that there were a lot of things piled up in the corner of the house, and the whole house was full of blood.
The piled things were some wild beasts in the mountains. The most obvious thing was that some things that the country explicitly stipulated that hunting was not allowed, and these would be included in the list of national protected animals in the future.
The loud noise just now made her ears still buzzing, although she couldn't hear any sound. But she probably understood the current situation. They ran into poachers.
They were all armed.
They had come to the door and broke everything, and these poachers would never let them go.
Once they reported to the forest farm, these people would be shot.
These people just looked at the three of them coldly, and didn't realize that Jiang Xiaoxiao was a woman.
They didn't even look at them twice, because their faces were covered with blood after they fell from the mountain.
In addition to the mess and smoke in the past two days, plus the clothes all over the body, it is estimated that it is not certain whether it is a man or a woman.
This weird dress made these men laugh for a long time.
"What are you doing, why are you here?"
Song Moting answered first, "We are villagers nearby. We wanted to go up the mountain to find something. But we fell down the mountain. We got lost. We couldn't find the way out. We came here by accident. We didn't see anything."
Song Moting put away his standard Mandarin and began to answer the other party in the local dialect.
Obviously, the other party looked at Song Moting after hearing what he said. His aura had changed a long time ago. His waist began to bend, his back slowly hunched up, and his shoulders drooped down.
At first glance, he became an ordinary and honest mountain man who worked all year round.
"Who are these two?"
"We are a family. This is my eldest brother and this is my younger brother. Originally, the three brothers wanted to go up the mountain to hunt to improve the family's life. You can see that we are covered with rabbit skins.
We only know a few skills that the older generation knows. Who would have thought that we are not familiar with this mountain, and we fell down from the mountain when we came here. Isn't it like this now, we can't get out no matter how we walk."
Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled, and her hearing seemed to be gradually restored. She could roughly understand what Song Moting was saying, listening to his fluent dialect.
She didn't expect that Song Moting was learning and using it immediately. He only learned the local dialect after more than a year here.
He didn't learn it from the forestry workers.
Now he is learning and using it directly on others.
Zhang Baocheng was so scared that he trembled all over and could only nod.
"When I saw you dressed like this, I was really shocked. You look like hunters. Look at this rabbit skin. You have to work so hard to survive in the mountains! Okay, you can stay here when you come to our place.
When we go out of the mountains, we will take you out with us. We will provide meals here. But we can't provide meals for free. You have to help us deal with these wild animals every day. Skin those who need to be skinned. Do as we tell you. Of course, you will benefit in the end."
Seeing the ready-made labor force, these people were all happy.
They were also trapped here. They did catch a lot of prey, but if they were trapped like this, these prey would definitely become smelly.
That would be in vain. So they were happy to meet such a serious hunter. They knew how to hunt, but they didn't know how to deal with these skins.
Aren't these ready-made people?
It depends on them whether to take them out after they are used.
Anyway, this is a deep forest. Even if they bury these people here, no one will know.
