Chapter 248 Please take more care of your brother, it’s too shameful!
In the early morning, Chixia Mountain is still shrouded in light blue mist.
The fresh branches and leaves are covered with crystal dew and swaying gently in the breeze.
Birds sing when they are frightened, and animals when trapped suddenly cry.
Every inch is the purest look of primitive nature.
In the bushes covered by dead branches, the two figures got closer and closer.
Looking at Zhao Lang who kept approaching him, Jiang Li frowned with some vigilance.
"You have to squeeze over to my side?"
Zhao Lang lowered his eyes and glanced at her, who was squatting on the ground and about to shrink into a ball, with a teasing smile on his face.
"Sorry, I'm also afraid of being exposed."
Jiang Li withdrew his gaze, and then fell into the mist in the distance.
"Are you sure those people are hiding here?"
Zhao Lang nodded, "I have been here for several days. They are indeed hiding here. Every day I can see fresh footprints nearby."
"So have you found out what they are doing?"
Zhao Lang didn't say anything, but stretched out his hand.
After a moment, he retracted again, and there was a black feather in his palm.
"Do you know what this is?"
Jiang Li looked at it intently for a while.
"It should be the feathers of some bird, right?"
The very black and bright color makes it look like it is no ordinary bird.
After all, she can recognize the common ones, but she has never seen this before.
Zhao Lang said: "This is the feather of the Corolla-crested Hornbill. I found it in their activity area when I visited the site."
Jiang Li keenly captured the key words.
"Hornbill, isn't that a first-level protected species?"
Zhao Lang showed some approval in his eyes, "Yes, the Corolla-crested Hornbill population is very rare. Many expert delegations have visited us before, but they only collected some specimens and did not track this group.
But now..."
Zhao Lang's meaning is already obvious.
Chixia Village is strategically located and blessed with natural resources, nourishing many wild animals.
Chixia Mountain was also classified as a nature reserve a few years ago, and hunting and logging are prohibited. Villagers in nearby villages are usually only allowed to go up the mountain to cut some weeds, collect some wood, and collect some fungi.
These people should have taken advantage of Chixia Village's remote transportation and poor external communication capabilities to secretly hunt and hunt rare wild animals in order to achieve illegal activities and make huge profits.
Unexpectedly, I bumped into them accidentally.
Afraid that his whereabouts would be exposed and arouse suspicion, he hid in the deep mountains and forests.
Jiang Li can also guess their hidden purpose.
Because further north here is the famous Hoh Xil No Man’s Land.
Although it is extremely dangerous, it is also the most desired escape paradise for criminals.
They only need to hide for a while, and when outsiders' attention is completely diverted from them, they can escape with the stolen goods.
"Before, the people from your program team were here, but these people never dared to do anything. Now that your people have basically left, I think they should act quickly." Zhao Lang said, "There is not much evidence in the first place.
If we really let them slip away, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to continue the investigation."
Jiang Li nodded in agreement.
Zhao Lang continued: "It is not a good idea for us to attack rashly. The terrain of Chixia Mountain is steep, and large-scale activities will definitely disturb the wild animals here, and I don't know how many weapons they have in their hands." p>
Jiang Li's eyes darkened.
"Since we can't take the initiative, why not lead the snake out of its hole?"
"What do you mean?"
She smiled and said, "As you just said, these rats are already impatient. Let's add fuel to their fire."
"Didn't you say before that your village will hold the Dutton Festival in a few days? Before that, please mobilize more villagers to come to the mountains for activities. The bigger the noise, the better."
Zhao Lang suddenly understood Jiang Li's intention and started laughing.
"As expected of Miss Jiang, she is as smart as ever."
"I know what to do."
-
After parting ways with Zhao Lang, Jiang Li also went down the mountain carrying a bamboo basket.
As soon as I turned onto the path into the village, I bumped into an uncle.
Jiang Li, who is from Chixia Village, has already recognized everyone. At this moment, she is completely able to greet the villagers freely.
"Uncle Xu, good morning."
Hearing the sound, Uncle Xu suddenly raised his head. When he saw Jiang Li, his eyes immediately formed a crescent moon.
"Ah, it's Girl Jiang. You didn't leave. Do you want to stay in our village for two more days?"
Jiang Li did not deny it, smiled and nodded, "Yes, it just so happens that my brother is going to live here for a while, so I will stay with him."
I don't know which sentence offended Uncle Xu. The other person's expression suddenly changed, and then he snorted coldly.
"Jiang Yatou, you are a good girl. Everyone in our village praises you when they mention you, but your brother... is such a jerk!"
Jiang Li suddenly had some bad thoughts.
"What happened to Jiang Yan?"
Xu Bo snorted coldly and said nothing.
Just at this time, two more uncles came towards me. When they saw Jiang Li, they both showed the same expression as Uncle Xu.
What he said was exactly the same——
"Please take care of your brother when nothing happens. It's too shameful."
At this moment, Jiang Li's face didn't look very good.
What trouble did Jiang Yan cause him again?!
After hurriedly saying goodbye to a few uncles, Jiang Li hurried towards the thatched house with a basket on his back.
Just halfway through, I saw people crowding around the well in the village.
Jiang Li is not surprised to see so many people in normal times.
After all, this is the only public water well in Chixia Village, so it is normal for there to be many people.
But now the people surrounding it are all women, aunts and little girls.
It’s really abnormal.
Jiang Li walked over quietly.
Before she even got closer, she heard a familiar voice——
"Oh, ma'am, you don't know how hard I work to train my muscles. This thing is not formed overnight."
The aunt's voice echoed from the side, "Oh, don't tell me, the belly of my family is full of fat, he is still a young man, strong and strong."
"I thought everyone from the capital was fat and big-eared, but I didn't expect that Young Master Jiang has a really good figure."
Jiang Yan laughed proudly, "That's right, if it weren't for not eating this morning and being too hungry to carry water, my muscles would be stronger than this."
"You haven't eaten yet. Come on, go to my house to eat. I also made some chicken soup in the morning."
"Oh, just say that you young people don't know how to dive, so let me do it. I won't be tired if I carry ten buckets of water a day."
Jiang Yan was happy when he heard it.
Has his goal been achieved?
However, just when he was about to agree with a smile, when he raised his head, he was met with a death stare.
