The director of public security was also in a very bad mood, with dark circles under his eyes, all because of the trouble caused by Yushu Dun.
At this time, he pinched his nose, squatted down, and used a wooden stick to poke the skeleton under the leaves.
"Tsk, this death is too tragic. The beasts in your village are so ferocious, how can you stay here?"
Zhao Wei said, "Director, the weather is dry right now, food is scarce in the mountains, and the wild animals are getting a bit restless."
"In our village, wild animals often come down the mountain to steal crops. In the past six months, there have been two cases of wild boars injuring people."
"Fortunately, the villagers were quite brave. After fighting the wild boar for a while, there were no casualties."
"But this person didn't die at the hands of a wild boar. Instead, he died at the hands of a wild beast called a wolverine. Look at these footprints. They are different from those of ordinary wild animals."
"If you don't believe it, you can go find an experienced hunter and ask them to help you figure it out."
The security director was not vague. Among the people who came with him, there was one who knew how to hunt, and he directly called the people up.
After carefully identifying it, the man agreed: "Director, it is true. Look, there is still a lot of feces left by this beast."
"I think this person was passing by here and was attacked by a wild beast. He died. Judging from his bone age, he was quite young. What a pity. Sigh..."
The director of public security pushed up his heavy glasses and said to Zhao Wei, "There is a huge safety hazard in your village. Fortunately, you have protected the village well. I heard that no villagers were hurt?"
"Yes, God bless us, except for some minor injuries during the fight, no one was injured."
After a moment's silence, the man said, "This won't last long. When I get back, I'll ask the higher-ups whether they will approve the formation of a hunting team so you can go up the mountain and clear out the enemies."
Zhao Wei was overjoyed. He could finally go up the mountain to hunt. For the past six months, he had been sneaking around and doing things in secret. He felt very frustrated.
And this was the reason why he deliberately called this person here.
Normally, it is impossible to call such a big shot.
But since such a vicious and bloody incident happened in Yushudun, this person will definitely come and take charge of it.
The security director stood up and patted the dirt off his trouser legs.
"I've taken note of the hunting team, but we have to wait for approval from above, so don't act rashly for now."
Zhao Wei was secretly happy, but he looked worried.
"Director, we don't want to move. This beast has already tasted blood. If it sneaks into the village at night..."
He pointed to the grain storage in the distance and said, "Even if these beasts don't intend to hurt anyone, the grain in our storage can't stand it."
This statement hit the director's sore spot. In this day and age, food is more valuable than life. If there is a problem with the food stored in Yushu, he, the director of public security, will not be able to escape responsibility.
"You have a point." He pushed his glasses. "How about this, I will give you a temporary hunting permit, which allows you to move around within a ten-mile radius around the village, but you are not allowed to go deep into the mountains. Do you understand?"
Zhao Wei nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Director, there are black blind people in the deep mountains, and we know the rules."
The director of public security gave a few more instructions and then left with the militia carrying the skeleton.
They also have to find a way to find this person's identity, which is a bit difficult.
If it really doesn't work, you can just find a place to dispose of it.
Zhao Wei stood at the entrance of the village, watching their backs disappear at the end of the dirt road, and finally couldn't help but smile.
Huangmao came up to him, his face full of excitement: "Master, this is good, we can go up to the mountain to play openly!"
"Do you want to call back the eldest brothers? They have always wanted to follow you into the mountains!"
"Keep your voice down!" Zhao Wei slapped him, "Don't move for now, and listen to the instructions."
It's not a good idea to spread this now.
If those people hiding in the dark find out that their strong laborers are missing, they might come to the village to cause trouble.
He remembered that Lin Qinghe was still upset about the man in gray, so he turned around and walked home.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Lin Qinghe sitting on the doorstep. His eyes were a little dull, not as cheerful as before.
This person has too strong a sense of guilt, which is not a good thing.
"Master," Zhao Wei stepped forward, "the man has been carried away. Wild beasts have gnawed him until only his skeleton is left. If you feel bored, come with me to the mountains to hunt. I just got a special temporary hunting permit."
Lin Qinghe raised his eyes and looked at him, his eyes still a little confused: "Why go up the mountain? I won't go, I can't commit murder again."
"Then... you can go pick some herbs."
Isn't this what he loves to do most?
He goes to the mountains every few days and is never idle.
Zhao Wei squatted down and looked at his rough hands. "Master, don't think too much about it. That thing... is in the past."
Lin Qinghe didn't say anything, just sighed softly.
"Disciple," he suddenly said, "Why do you think people should live?"
"People are alive..." Zhao Wei scratched his head, remembering the villagers gnawing on tree bark when they were hungry, and the gauze on Yunxiu's neck, so he said, "You have to protect something, right? Protect your wife, protect the food, and protect this village. Master, you protect the medical way, isn't it also to allow more people to survive?"
When Lin Qinghe heard this, his fingertips trembled slightly and a rotten leaf slipped from his shoulder.
"Medicine?" he repeated in a low voice, as if he was chewing a piece of rusty iron.
"I was practicing medicine, but I ended up killing someone. Sigh..."
He didn't say anything else, but just grabbed the hoe beside him and smashed it on the ground, scaring away a group of ants.
Zhao Wei took a half step back in fear - his master had never used so much strength before.
The iron tip of the medicine hoe embedded in the soil, making a dull sound, very much like the sound of something breaking.
He suddenly realized that Lin Qinghe was not asking him, but asking himself, asking the Taoist heart that was stained by blood.
"Master..." Zhao Wei squatted down and held Lin Qinghe's hand holding the medicine hoe. Those hands had held newborn babies and massaged dying old people, but at this moment they were trembling slightly.
"You have saved so many people, and everyone remembers it. That person's fault is his own fault, and it has nothing to do with you. You are doing a great deed by getting rid of harm for the people."
"You said that a doctor should be kind-hearted, but also have a keen eye. That person's illness is not disease, but evil. Evil that cannot be cured must be left to God. You see, isn't this what God means?"
He pointed to the sun in the sky and said, "The sun shines on good people as well as bad people. But if the bad people go into the gutter, can we blame the sun for not shining?"
Lin Qinghe was silent.
"Perhaps you are right." Lin Qinghe bent down and picked up the medicine hoe. "I will go up the mountain with you, just as atonement."
Zhao Wei was overjoyed and quickly ran into the village to start planning.
