Because he was worried that the other party would discover the whereabouts of the three of us, the wrapped flashlight only carefully illuminated a little bit of the path under his feet. Wang Tianxiao walked in front, and almost every step was tested before settling.

The two younger brothers followed closely behind him, almost stepping on his footsteps as they moved slowly.

Movement speed is quite slow.

Wang Tianxiao didn't dare to rush. It was a trivial matter to alert the enemy. The most important thing was that they could not figure out the opponent's purpose and strength for the time being.

How many people have their fighting capabilities, especially whether they have guns in their hands, and if so, what kind of guns are they?

These need to be mastered before you can deal with them easily.

Otherwise, if they are discovered and lose the opportunity, the consequences will be disastrous.

It is impossible for a desperado to have a benevolent heart, and he will not let go just because several people here are young and even have children.

In the deep mountains, it is very easy and possible to kill a person and then leave him in the wild to be eaten by predators.

You must find a place where you can observe and see what they are doing.

The three of them groped forward. Wang Tianxiao walked, and his curiosity became more and more intense. Although he was not as familiar with Yangziling as the place where he used to work, the general topography of the mountain was still very clear.

If his memory was correct, there was a cliff some way ahead, and there was another village at the bottom of the mountain. If you wanted to go down the mountain, there was no road from this direction, and you had to go around eight or nine kilometers ahead.

Only those who are legendary martial arts masters who can fly high and high can step from the cliff with left foot and right foot, and fall to the bottom of the cliff like a flying bird.

In this case, what are the illegal loggers doing here?

If we want to go down the mountain, won't we take a long detour?

With suspicion, the three of them continued walking for a while, and could vaguely see four or five figures.

Wang Tianxiao stopped.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Wang Tiancheng asked.

Wang Tianxiao looked around at the terrain.

Strictly speaking, the position where they are standing now is still below those people, and they can see the figures because they are far enough away. If they continue to move forward, they will probably lose their target slowly.

Moreover, in the event of an emergency, the other side will obviously have a more advantageous terrain if it is on the higher ground. Therefore, since ancient times, the two armies have paid great attention to the control of the commanding heights in battles.

Wang Tianxiao weighed the semi-automatic rifle in his hand, feeling much more at ease.

"Old five and six, the other party has more people than us, and we don't know if they have any guys in their hands. Direct confrontation is not a wise move,"

He pointed to two places and said, "Old Five, you go over there and find a tree to hide yourself in. Sixth, go over there and don't act rashly after passing by. When you hear what I say, you just need to shout the same thing."

"

"Why? Why don't we just go up and catch them?" Wang Tianxin didn't want to go to such trouble.

Wang Tianxiao looked at his innocent brother and smiled bitterly and said: "It is not a serious crime to cut down a few trees. It doesn't even need to be detained. They can be released after criticism and education. There is no need to kill them all. If you have formed too deep a relationship with them, just drive them away.

"

"Isn't that too cheap for them?"

"Then what else do you want, catch them and shoot them?" Wang Tianxiao looked at his younger brother who was prone to act in extreme ways. "Look at the thieves all over the streets. Why do the police release them so quickly after they catch them? It's because of the guilt.

There are minor and serious consequences. Stealing trees is certainly wrong, but it’s not to the point of requiring a prison sentence.”

Seeing that his brother still didn't understand, he had to say: "There is another fatal problem. I am not the official ranger of Yangziling now. I will be in the next year. At least I have no right to arrest these people. If I hurt them,

It’s me who needs to go to jail or pay compensation.”

When it comes to this, Wang Tianxin naturally understands.

"That's really a bargain for them."

I understand, but I'm still not convinced.

"Okay, if you are really interested, study hard. After you finish high school, you can come to the mountains and work as a ranger with me. Then you can punish these people."

"Oh well."

Wang Tianxiao saw that Wang Tianxin had taken care of it, so he asked them to take their respective positions, and he also spotted a spot and ran up quickly.

He remembered that when he was patrolling the mountains a few days ago, he saw a huge rock nearby, which could be used as a bunker. If the opponent had a gun, he might need to use a gun to solve the problem. The bunker was very important.

Following his memory, he found the hiding place, placed the gun on the ground, installed the sight and silencer, and looked towards the cliff through the sight.

The 56 semi-automatic rifle can be used as a sniper rifle, but it needs to be equipped with a scope. Otherwise, with ordinary human vision, even if the gun can be used, people will not be able to see that far.

Upon seeing this, he instantly understood what these people wanted to do.

They planned to push the wood directly off the cliff and then pick it up in the village below.

This perfectly solves the problem of wood falling down the mountain.

It can only be said that the wisdom of the "working" people is infinite. Wang Tianxiao has seen a documentary where some mountain people cut down trees and threw them directly into the river, letting the trees flow downstream and then collecting them. It is similar to the way these people are doing now.

How wonderful.

It's just that this kind of thinking is not used in the right way.

Judging from the wood around them, at least one hundred and eighty trees had been cut down.

Trees at this time are relatively valuable. If it is wood such as pine, cypress, and fir, a square piece of wood costs four to five hundred yuan. Those wood should be worth several thousand yuan. If sold retailly, it should be sold for more than ten thousand yuan.

In the early years, due to steel smelting technology and production capacity constraints, many furniture were made of wood. And because the cement industry also did not develop, the rafters and beams used to build houses were also made of wood.

Therefore, the market demand for wood was very high, and the price was much higher than the living standards at that time.

For example, Wang Tianxiao planted a circle of catalpa trees outside the backyard of his house in his previous life. This kind of wood is not considered very good. After a few years of price growth, it is about ten centimeters in diameter, and one tree can be sold for three hundred yuan.

It was just that at that time, he thought that the price of wood would continue to rise and that it would be a rare commodity. However, as the pace of industrialization continued to advance, the price of wood did not continue to rise, but continued to fall.

So much so that when the yard was being renovated later, as long as people were willing to dig up trees, they would be taken away for free.

Some people know that trees in the mountains are valuable, but not many people really think about them.

Mainly because it is inconvenient to transport.

Even a tree with a diameter of ten centimeters, cut into two or three meters long, is very heavy and cannot be easily carried by an ordinary person.

Even if you can carry it, how can you carry it home? If someone discovers it on the road, the name of theft will be confirmed and it will never be taken off.

People in this era are still stuck in an ancient education model. They generally value dignity and face more than anything else. Even if they are poor, their self-esteem cannot be lost.

Stealing is wrong in itself, and because it involves shame, most of them cannot accept it.

While Wang Tianxiao was thinking, the thief over there had already lifted a tree and rolled it down the cliff, and the second one had also been lifted.
