The poacher who spoke was in his mid-thirties. He was nicknamed Erlong because he had a dragon tattooed on each of his arms when he was young. His marksmanship was extremely accurate and he shot at the running Tibetan antelope.
Sometimes, it can even hit the Tibetan antelope's eyes accurately without damaging its fur.
When I went up the mountain to find the golden eagle the day before yesterday, if Xiao Jin hadn't scratched his shoulder by Xiao Jin, causing a chaos, and his bullet jammed in the chamber, I'm afraid he would have shot the golden eagle down long ago.
Erlong has been following the bearded man for almost 10 years. He said this not because he couldn't bear the hardship. He once didn't sleep a wink for three days and three nights in order to chase a group of Tibetan antelopes, but this meeting was really tough.
Can't stand it any longer.
The hunger in their stomachs was bearable, but the biting cold wind seemed to be like a knife, cutting their flesh one by one, and the cotton clothes on their bodies could not resist the pain that penetrated their bones.
These people have rich experience in surviving in the wild. They know that being able to feel pain means there is still hope for survival. If they can't even feel pain, they may become ice sculptures on the iceberg.
That's why this poacher proposed to surrender. Although they have committed many crimes, as long as they keep their mouth tight and refuse to take action, this time it will just be an attempted poaching. At most, they will be charged with concealing guns.
Three to five years is better than freezing to death in the mountains, right?
Seeing Bearded Beard sitting silently by the campfire, Erlong started to persuade him again: "Brother Bearded Beard, if this continues, we will really have to deal with being here. There is still a way to survive when we get out, right?"
The so-called desperadoes, those who will fight for their lives when there is no way to survive, do not apply here. Although the several poachers present have committed many evil deeds, they have no lives on their hands. This poaching alone
If it fails, it can't be considered a capital crime, right?
The silent bearded man suddenly raised his head, looked at Erlong, and asked: "Erlong, how many years have you... been following me?"
After hearing Beard's words, Erlong calculated in his mind and said: "Brother Beard, I've been with you since 1998, and it's been almost thirteen or four years now..."
"Yes, in the past thirteen or four years, the number of Tibetan antelopes that have died in your hands is not one thousand, but eight hundred, right?"
The bearded man smiled, but his smile looked unusually gloomy under the bonfire, "Not to mention anything else, these Tibetan antelopes alone are enough to shoot you ten times. Surrender yourself? That's asking for death!"
Erlong was a little unconvinced and shouted: "Brother Beard, if we don't talk about those things, who knows? And there is no death penalty for hunting wild animals, right?"
Erlong is not a fool. Many people have been arrested for hunting wild protected animals in China. I have never heard of anyone being sentenced to death. Even Li Chuancai, who skinned a giant panda, had a suspended death penalty. Basically, he was sentenced to death.
It can't be thrown away.
Then again, when it comes to hunting nationally protected animals, the hands of everyone present are covered with blood. No one would be stupid enough to tell what happened in the past. The words with a beard made Erlong very uncomfortable.
Explanation, speaking is not so respectful anymore.
This is the ugly side of human nature. If it were normal times, Erlong's attitude towards the bearded man would definitely be more respectful than when he met his biological father. But now it's about his own life and death, and Erlong doesn't care so much anymore.
Not only him, but the other people around the campfire also looked at the bearded man with hope. If they could survive, no one would want to die.
The bearded man suddenly became irritable. He pressed his uninjured right hand on the submachine gun in front of him. After scanning a few people with his cold eyes, he said: "Okay, stop talking nonsense and treat me as your own."
Brother, if we get through it today, we can climb over this snow mountain tomorrow and we can take a detour..."
To be honest, Lu Xiu himself didn’t believe that he could make it through today. It was more than ten degrees below zero. As long as they waited for the bonfire to burn out, just because of the down jackets they were wearing? I guess they would wait until dawn.
Become an ice sculpture.
When Erlong saw Beard's behavior, he couldn't help but feel a sudden change in his heart, and said quickly: "Okay, Brother Beard, you can do whatever you say, brothers will listen to you..."
He had followed Luo Hu for the longest time and knew that this boss was ruthless and would dare to kill him if he disagreed. Moreover, Erlong also vaguely guessed the reason why Luo Hu was unwilling to surrender, probably because he had a murder case in his hands.
After saying these words, Erlong lowered his head, but there was a different look in his eyes.
Similarly, under the shock of the bearded submachine gun, the other people also expressed their obedience to the boss's arrangements, but what they really thought in their hearts, only God knows and they know.
As the temperature continued to drop, the flames from the campfire became smaller and smaller. The dry firewood around them had been collected, and they did not dare to go far away. If they could not maintain sufficient physical strength in this weather,
If you do, it will only accelerate their death.
At the beginning, several people were still moving around the bonfire, but as time went by, their movements became slower and slower, and the expressions on their faces became a little dull.
Scientists have done research. When the temperature drops to a certain level, people's brain thinking will become slow. This is the situation before us. The slow thinking of several poachers has been reflected in their actions.
…
"It smells so good. I'll add more fire. Brother Zhou, please guard the exit..."
At the foot of the snow-capped mountains, there is also a pile of bonfires lit, but what is different from the mountain is that on this burning bonfire, there are two roasted whole sheep, and the tangy aroma spreads far away.
go out.
Peng Fei was not afraid of the opponent coming down from the mountain, because there was an open area of forty to fifty meters in front of the exit at the foot of the mountain. There was no cover at all. If the opponent came down, they would only be used as a target.
In addition to Zhuang Rui, Peng Fei, Zhou Rui and others, Director Basang is also guarding here. Two police officers are hiding behind a rock and observing the movements on the mountain.
Although he was wearing a sheepskin jacket outside his down jacket, Zhuang Rui was still shivering from the cold. Looking at the bonfire that was almost extinguished halfway up the mountain, he couldn't help but curse: "Damn, it's almost 12 o'clock, this
All these bastards are penguins, right? Are they not afraid of the cold at all?"
You know, even though the mountain and the mountain are only five or six hundred meters apart, the temperature is at least 10 degrees different. Zhuang Rui can't figure out how those guys who lacked food and clothing survived until now?
After searching the room where those people lived, Zhuang Rui felt relieved. The time of the poachers' arrival and the signs in the room showed that they had not encountered a snow leopard. This made Zhuang Rui finally worried.
It was put down.
"Haha, Brother Zhuang, let's drink wine and eat meat, and they are drinking the northwest wind up there. This business can be done, let's see who can consume more energy than the other..." After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Peng Fei laughed loudly, his voice far away.
It spread far away.
"Okay, you kid, drink less and listen to Director Basang's arrangements..."
Zhuang Rui scolded Peng Fei, stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth, and stood up. He was going to replace the policeman behind the rock. If you don't move in this cold weather, you will freeze.
"Officer Luo Zhu, go have a drink to warm yourself up..."
Zhuang Rui walked behind the rock, patted the police officer on the shoulder, released his spiritual energy as a habit, looked towards the mountain, and was suddenly stunned.
"What the hell are you doing? Could it be that these guys all have that hobby and are fighting over their beards?"
Zhuang Rui discovered that the scene that appeared in the aura was actually four gentlemen, pressing the bearded man with an injury on his shoulder to the ground in an extremely ambiguous posture.
"No, this is an internal fight..."
After seeing a man with a beard put away his gun and tie him up with a belt, Zhuang Rui finally understood that the other party was having internal strife.
It's just that although Zhuang Rui can see the scene, he can't hear their words, and he doesn't know what the intentions of these guys who are fighting among themselves are.
After the four people tied up their beards, they stood by the bonfire and discussed a few words. Then three people dragged the beards up. Another thin little man walked in front with a flashlight in the direction...
It's at the foot of the mountain.
"Officer Luo Zhu, ask Peng Fei and the others to come over. I saw people moving on the mountain..."
Seeing this, how could Zhuang Rui still understand? This is because the people on the mountain couldn't stand it any longer and wanted to come down to surrender. Perhaps the bearded man didn't agree, so there was internal strife.
The truth was just as Zhuang Rui thought. After the temperature continued to drop, the injured bearded man became more and more depressed. He became drowsy and couldn't even hold the gun steady.
At this moment, the four people who had already had a tacit understanding rushed forward at the same time and subdued Luo Hu on the spot. As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend never dies a poor Taoist. Luo Hu was the main culprit. He was caught and everyone was responsible for the crime.
It can also be lighter.
The little man got hit with several belts and kicked Bearded several times. Anyway, everyone will be living in prison in the future, and maybe the other party will be shot, so he is not afraid of Bearded's revenge.
"Mr. Zhuang, why didn't I see it? Did they really go down the mountain?"
Luo Zhu kept staring at the mountain. Apart from the bonfire that was about to go out, he couldn't see what was happening on the mountain.
Zhuang Rui nodded and said: "I have good eyesight. I think they will be able to come down in half an hour. Let's get ready..."
"Okay, I'll go and notify Director Basang right away..."
Seeing Zhuang Rui's serious face, not like he was joking with him, Luo Zhu also became serious and trotted all the way to the place where everyone was having a barbecue dozens of meters away.
After hearing Luo Zhu's report, several people who were originally gathered around the campfire ran over quickly, loaded their bullets, and stared at the mountain road above with all their concentration.
About twenty minutes later, more than 100 meters up the mountain, the flashlight of the flashlight could be seen, along with someone shouting: "We surrendered, don't shoot, we came down to surrender..."
"
Hoarse shouts echoed in the mountains. Zhuang Rui and others couldn't help but smile at each other. This result is naturally the best. Otherwise, if the other party resists with a gun or attacks the mountain pass, it may also cause damage to their own side.
.
The first person to appear under the bright light was the little man. He had a flashlight stuck in his collar, held a submachine gun above his head with both hands, and walked down the mountain in a discreet manner.
Immediately behind him were three people walking upright and one person who was dragged on the ground. Erlong and the others no longer had the strength to lift their beards, so they had to drag him down half the way from the mountain.
Yes, Beard, who was already injured, now only has half his life left.
"Government, we surrender, we are surrendering..."
Several people came to the bright light, and the guns in their hands were still on the ground. Director Basang gave an order, and several police officers rushed forward and handcuffed several people's hands behind their backs.
"Government, can you give me water to drink and food to stutter? We haven't had anything to eat in more than ten hours..."
After seeing the police, Erlong and others seemed to be relieved. They didn't care about the pain in their arms and just kept begging for food.
Director Basang waved his hand and said: "Take them to the bonfire. Don't freeze to death. Well, what's going on with this person? A surprise interrogation will be conducted immediately..."
"Government, we will explain, we will explain, his surname is Hu, and everyone on the road calls him Brother Beard. He is the one who organized us to come here..."
Due to Beard's uncooperation, several people knew that they could not escape their previous crimes. If they didn't explain anything, Beard would probably reveal their crimes, so they simply poured the beans through a bamboo tube and charged them all without waiting for interrogation.
"Brother Beard?"
After Director Basang heard Erlong's words, his expression suddenly changed. He roughly pulled the bearded man on the ground to the bonfire and looked at the bearded face in the light of the fire.
"Hu Rongfa, it's really you!"
Director Basang's voice seemed to contain a hint of sadness despite his joy. After hearing Basang's words, several police officers around him had expressions of surprise on their faces.
Zhuang Rui, who was a little confused by Basang's actions, grabbed Luo Zhu beside him and asked in a low voice: "Officer Luo Zhu, what... is going on?"
Luo Zhu looked a little excited, pointing to the beard on the ground, and said: "Mr. Zhuang, we... have made a great contribution. This Hu Rongfa is one of the main criminals who killed Comrade Suonandajie in Hoh Xil. We hunted him for 17 days
Years later, I didn’t expect to catch him in this place!”
"That Hoh Xil in the movie?" Zhuang Rui asked.
"Yes, the character playing there is the prototype of Sonam Dajie..." Luo Zhu nodded heavily and told Zhuang Rui a touching story.
One day in January 1994, 40-year-old Suonandajie and four team members captured 20 poachers in Hoh Xil and seized seven cars and more than 1,800 Tibetan antelope skins.
While escorting the gangsters to the vicinity of Sun Lake, he was attacked by gangsters. In order to protect the Tibetan antelope, Sonam Dajie confronted 18 armed poachers in a no-man's land and shed his last drop of blood.
Sonam Dajie, who died under the light, was lying on the ground, holding a gun in his right hand and pulling the bolt in his left hand. His eyes were wide open and motionless. He was like an ice sculpture. No one dared to pass by. Even in death, he was frightening.
Suonandajie's death shocked all walks of life and public opinion. The Chinese government approved the establishment of the "Kekexili Provincial Nature Reserve" in 1995 and upgraded it to the "Kekexili National Nature Reserve" in 1997.
Although 17 long years have passed, the story of "Sonam Dajie"'s heroic death in a shootout with poachers is still being spread by people, and the police agencies have not stopped arresting the fugitive suspects who shot him.
.
Today, 15 of the 18 gangsters at that time have been brought to justice, and three are still at large. Hu Rongfa is one of these three people and the main culprit who shot Sonam Dajie.
No one could have imagined that the key criminal from seventeen years ago would be captured in this small mountain village. This made Director Basang and others shake off their fatigue and become extremely excited.
"Director Basang, let's take them back first and let Dean Lhakpa Tsering take a look. If they die, wouldn't it be an advantage for him?"
While Zhuang Rui was speaking, he quietly injected a trace of spiritual energy into Beard's body. He wanted this man to stand trial alive. For this man who had committed such heinous crimes, life might be more painful than death in the days to come.
"Yes, yes, we can't let him die..."
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Director Basang reacted and went into battle himself, carrying the bearded man back to the village who had limp into a ball of mud.
Early the next morning, the criminal policemen who came from the county town overnight to support them suppressed Hu Rongfa and his party. Due to the seriousness of the case, Basang also went back with them. Without the presence of these poachers, the small mountain village returned to its former peace.
.
"Dear old village chief, brother Dundup Tsering, how is the snow leopard doing? Has it been to this mountain village in the past few years?"
After seeing off Basang and others, Zhuang Rui immediately found the old village chief. He was eager to know the news about the snow leopard. If it weren't for the worry of Qin Xuanbing and others, Zhuang Rui would have wanted to take the white lion up the snow mountain all morning.
.
"Mr. Zhuang, the snow leopard came to the village last year. We prepared 10 cattle and sheep for it, which should be enough for it to survive the winter. However, it did not come this year. Maybe it is because there are too many outsiders here...
"
Dundup Tsering was a little embarrassed when he spoke. Zhuang Rui left them more than 100,000 yuan, and the price they paid was only 10 cattle and sheep.
After the news of the reincarnation of the Living Buddha spread, more and more people came to Karma Village for tourism and pilgrimage. Even some mountaineering teams listed the Snowy Mountain as their goal to conquer. The reason why the snow leopard did not come this year may be the same.
Here it lies.
"As long as the snow leopard is still in the mountain, I will find it, and the parents of the golden eagle, I will also go to see..." Zhuang Rui found that after the delay of the poacher incident, his mood when entering the Snowy Mountains changed.
