Jiang Li and Han Chaoyang were surprised to find someone living in this abandoned mountain village for many years.

In this place where even the forest rangers would not come, I saw six living people at once, including the police and the armed police with guns. The old man was also shocked and almost fell off the ladder.

Jiang Li hurriedly went up to hold the ladder and started talking to the old man who was slowly climbing down.

Han Chaoyang couldn't understand the local dialect, and Lu Gang and four other armed police soldiers couldn't understand, so they simply acted according to the plan tacitly. Han Chaoyang walked into the yard to see if there were any other people. The armed police went to the pass in the south forest area to set up a checkpoint.

When I came in, I looked like a little home.

An old lady with wrinkles on her face and almost lost her teeth was lying on the kang in the inner room, with a few boxes of medicine on the head of the kang. What disease should be suffering from? A boy of eleven or twelve years old was watching TV in the main hall. The TV was black and white. It looked like it was old, but the picture and sound were quite clear. Maybe the quality of the electrical appliances in the past was better than now, and there was a satellite TV receiver on the roof, so the signal was also better.

"What's your name?"

The little guy was a little afraid of being angry, so he didn't even care about turning off the TV. He ran to the door, hid behind the old man talking to Jiang Li, and looked at the uninvited guests who broke into their house with big eyes and curiously.

Jiang Li obviously told the old man what was happening nearby. The old man looked incredible. He took off his hat and scratched his hair and almost fell off his head. He signaled the two to wait, ran into the yard and took out a machete, and took them to patrol door to door in the village. The little guy was as excited as the little guy he met in the morning, and chased after him with a wooden stick.

As expected, the village was abandoned, but the water cellar dug before was still there.

After walking through the collapsed ruins for less than half an hour, no less than forty water cellars with water were found, but no trace of anyone coming to collect the water. Confirm that the fugitive did not come, Jiang Li first called the command center to report, and then used a walkie-talkie to communicate with Lugang at the mountain pass outside the village.

"The mountain in the west is the commanding heights of this area. It is impossible for fugitives to come from the mountain, but the terrain there is high and the vision is good. The superiors ask us to set up an observation post on the mountain. There are only six of us, including the ones you guard now, to guard three passes. I am responsible for the pass to the west, but I don't bring a gun, so you have to arrange one person to come."

"No problem, I'm here to guard it, Fang Jun will support you."

"Okay, please contact me in time if you have any circumstances."

Without waiting for Jiang Li to explain, Han Chaoyang took the initiative to laugh and said, "I'll go to the west mountain."

"Chaoyang, sorry, mainly because there are too few people..."

It is a bit far to go to the west, so you have to continue climbing the mountain. However, relative to the three passes below, setting up an observation post at the top of the mountain may be the safest. There is nothing on the top of the mountain, and it is still tiring to climb up and down. I don’t even know if there is a road to climb up the mountain in the south. Even if Feng Changdong runs to Tanjiagou, he will not be able to climb up the top of the mountain.

"The public security in the world is a family, we are our own people, and those who are too dissatisfied." Han Chaoyang asked curiously while following him to the entrance of the village: "What's wrong with the old man, old lady and the child just now?"

"Returning farmland to forests, preventing artificial damage to vegetation and preventing soil erosion is a good thing, but for the villages that used to live here, moving out is not necessarily a good thing. Although the mountains are full of dry land and the harvest is not good, under normal circumstances, the whole family can earn 2,000 yuan a year. There is also a state that has food subsidies and cash subsidies, which are more than one hundred acres, but it costs money to eat and buy everything."

“Can’t live outside?”

"Young people have no problem. Those who are strong can go out to work. No matter how hard they work, they are better than farming. Those who are older cannot do it. They can't find work even if they want to go out to work. They want to do breeding, but they have no skills and no funds. The one who just now really couldn't get through, but I thought about it and took his wife and grandson back to live in the mountains."

"He doesn't have a son?"

"Yes, my son and daughter-in-law work in other places. They come back from the beginning of the year and are not easy to work now, and I can't make much money all year round."

"But he brought the child back, how did the child go to school?"

"No more, it's not new to us that children drop out of school."

Hearing a burst of footsteps, Jiang Li turned around and looked at the little guy who had caught up with him again, and then said, "It's not a bad thing for the old man just now. The neighbors have moved out, and the water cellars left behind can be used. Not only does he not worry about lack of water, but he even has surplus water to simmer crops. This year, there is a severe drought and many places are affected by disasters, but his family does not have it."

If a person monopolizes the water in the entire village, of course he will not be short of water.

Han Chaoyang subconsciously looked back at the little guy who had already caught up with him but didn't dare to follow him too closely. He thought about it and asked again: "Brother Jiang, how about the destroyed forest land at the entrance of the Dongbian Village? Will the forestry department hold him accountable?"

"I asked, and he said that it turned out to be his fruit forest, not fruit, but a ginkgo tree promoted and planted in the village before. As a result, there were not many ginkgo fruits. They were beaten and dried and carried out and could not be sold at a price. So they cut them all and dug them all, which had nothing to do with the Forestry Bureau."

“The trees from the forest farm were not cut down?”

"No, theft cutting and logging are legally responsible. Under normal circumstances, no one dares to test the law. Besides, the trees planted later are neither tall nor thick. Apart from the use of burning fire, who can they be sold to after cutting them down?"

“That’s true.”

As we were chatting, the place where we should go our separate ways has arrived.

Jiang Li stopped and turned around and said a few words to the little guy. The little guy drooped his head and said nothing. Jiang Li had no choice but to say a few more words. The little guy smiled and ran to Han Chaoyang, waving a wooden stick in front of him to lead the way.

"Brother Jiang, do you ask him to go up the mountain with me?"

"Aren't the children in the mountains running all over the mountain? His grandfather is relieved. I can rest assured that he can be your company."

This time, I have to stay at the top of the mountain until dark. There is a little guy talking at least someone. Han Chaoyang smiled happily and said, "Okay, I'll be with him. If you have any situation, call you."

...

There is nothing like having a guide or not.

No matter what you ask, the little guy was embarrassed to speak, and he would scratch his head and smile silly when he asked anxiously, but with him, he could really help. First of all, don’t go to the detour. Follow him around in the forest where there is no road at all, and climb to the top of the mountain without realizing it.

Along the way, he also took Han Chaoyang to search where there were caves, where people could hide behind trees, and where wild fruits could be eaten.

Being fooled!

Han Chaoyang took the thorny fruit he picked and took it open and took a bite. The sour and astringent ones were quickly spit out and drank water to rinse his mouth. The little guy smiled so much that he leaned back and forth, and then he went into the woods to pick several wild fruits of different shapes.

"I won't eat anymore, you boy is not at ease."

"It's delicious, edible!" The little guy finally spoke, and his standard Longdao Mandarin was similar to He Su's accent.

"If you don't eat, you can eat it yourself." After gaining wisdom, Han Chaoyang will no longer be fooled. He stood on the top of the mountain to observe the movements at the foot of the mountain.

"It's really edible, it's so delicious." The little guy stuffed a wild fruit into his mouth, sat on the ground and smashed the weeds with a wooden stick.

"What was that one for me just now?" Han Chaoyang asked absent-mindedly.

"The thorny milk is said to be Chinese medicine, so it's good to take it."

"What did you eat just now?"

"this?"

"Um."

"The crotch bubble, also called the croaker fruit, is two trees nearby, and they can't eat it even if you want to eat it."

This wild fruit looks strange in shape, and it looks a bit like a shorts. Han Chaoyang took one and wiped it clean, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it. This time he was not fooled. It was quite sweet and tasted very good. Since there was no outside the mountain, I had to eat a few more and finish all the "crotch bubbles" that the little guy picked. Han Chaoyang couldn't help but smile and said, "I thought it was wolfberry."

“This one is delicious too.”

The little guy handed over two curved plants, looking like grass roots, not like fruits. Han Chaoyang mustered up the courage to wipe them clean and eat one. It tasted okay, and he couldn't help but touch his messy hair.

"This is a date, which can be brewed with a date wine and candy." The little guy grinned and ran down to find food.

After eating the second date, Han Chaoyang suddenly remembered something and hurriedly took out his cell phone to dial Jiang Li's police service.

"Chaoyang, have you discovered it?"

"Brother Jiang, just now the little guy invited me to eat a few wild fruits, jujubes and that... that 'crunk soak' is quite delicious. Feng Changdong is also a mountain man. The little guy can find him. It is probably not that easy to go on a hunger strike in Jushui."

"Yes, there are many wild fruits in the mountains this season, but we can think of the command center as well."

"It's enough to think of it. Anyway, I'm going to catch him now, not to starve him to death."

"The encirclement is getting smaller and smaller, and he will definitely not be able to escape."

"Okay, I'll hang up first, and contact me if there is any situation."

...

In order to save mobile phone battery, Han Chaoyang not only hung up but also turned off.

He said he would contact him again if there was any situation, but he stayed at the top of the mountain until dark without any movement. The little guy who agreed to observe on the top of the mountain would run into the forest from time to time to play. He was tired while running, so he lay in the grass and slept for a while.

"Brother Jiang, what do the instructor say? When will the reinforcements come?" Han Chaoyang turned on his cell phone, sat next to the little guy and called Jiang Li again.

"The instructor said that all the cadres and masses mobilized by the superiors were busy assisting in the afternoon for the search and they were all back now, and there would be no reinforcements tonight. The command center asked us to stand on time and let us guard the checkpoint."

The leaders obviously think that other places are more important than this one, but the fugitives were run in this direction by Li Jiayao, and the south is indeed more important than the north.

"Live under someone's roof" is something that others have to do, but Han Chaoyang thought about it and said with a bitter face: "Brother Jiang, you must guard the checkpoint. Can I withdraw this observation post? I can't see anything at night, so there is no need to stay on the top of the mountain."

It was so unlucky for Yanyang to travel with him, but he encountered such a thing as soon as he came.

Jiang Li sighed inwardly, holding up his cell phone and said apologetically: "Chaoyang, I have reported to my superiors, but the superiors said we can't see it at night, and the fugitive is even more invisible in the woods. He chases it so tightly, so he can't use his mobile phone as a flashlight."

"Look at the light?"
