Chapter 180
Hang Jiaqing took out a telescope from his pocket and looked down carefully. The weather was bad today, it was a cloudy day, and the snow on the dam was falling particularly heavily. A layer of snow fell down in a short while, just like now, the footprints they left when they came here have been almost covered.
Wang Benguo saw that Jin Wangsheng was starting to have a fever, so he took out a pill of Analgin from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth.
Antipyretics are something that every forest policeman carries with him, because the weather on the dam is really unpredictable. It is cold and windy for nearly ten months a year, and people can get sick if they are not careful. If you are in the yard, it is okay because there are doctors and you can just get injections and take medicine if you are sick. But if you are patrolling outside, it is not the same.
There is no specific medicine, it is really torture, if you are not careful, you will be doomed.
Jin Wangsheng didn't want to die, so he started chewing the antipyretic medicine as soon as it entered his mouth. Seeing him like this, Wang Benguo stood up and pointed the gun at his head. It was self-evident what he was thinking.
If Jin Wangsheng did anything rash, he would definitely not be able to see the sunset tonight.
Lin Shuyue held up the camera and looked down. The area that the camera could capture was a world covered with snow. The poachers hid under the snow, their eyes peeking out from the dry bushes, staring closely at the road surface under Chuzigou.
Lin Shuyue's camera was pointed at the position of the guy whose sin value was so black that it was greasy, and she didn't move at all.
Hang Jiaqing and others couldn't figure out what was going on, but they still maintained their original actions. After dealing with poachers for many years, Hang Jiaqing knew clearly that they were a group of extremely cunning people, and the best strategy was for him to not move if the enemy did not move.
Time passed minute by minute, Jin Wangsheng had felt much better. He looked at the silent scene anxiously. His moving leg kicked a stone. He secretly kicked down hard. After about ten minutes, the stone finally loosened. He was delighted and was about to kick the stone away with all his strength, but his foot was stepped on by Lao Zhang.
The wind was whistling, Lao Zhang smiled at Jin Wangsheng, and then, under Jin Wangsheng's gaze, he took out the stone that he had kicked loose from the snow and gently put it aside. Wang Benguo shot Jin Wangsheng in the back of the head, and Jin Wangsheng rolled his eyes and fainted.
Old Zhang gave Wang Benguo a thumbs up and said, "When it comes to knocking people out, you have to rely on Brother Wang."
Lao Zhang's voice was very soft, and could not be heard without paying attention in the howling of the strong wind. Wang Benguo raised an eyebrow at Lao Zhang and said, "Learn from this."
After this conversation between the two, they fell silent.
In the footage from Lin Shuyue's camera, a piece of snow covering the man with a sin value of 96 percent fell off, revealing one side of his clothes that were striped in yellow, white and black, very much like the color of a tiger.
Considering the occupations of those people, it is indeed a tiger's skin.
Lin Shuyue paused the camera, put it in front of Xing Jiabai, and called Xing Jiabai to come and see. When Xing Jiabai saw it, his expression froze. Then he brought the camera in front of Hang Jiaqing.
Without even seeing the face or figure of the man wearing the tiger skin, Hang Jiaqing guessed who this person was: "Zhang Xiaohu."
When Hang Jiaqing's team heard the name that was brought to their ears by the wind, they immediately became extremely alert. Zhang Xiaohu's reputation on the road was well-known. The people who came today were Zhang Xiaohu's group, so today was bound to be another fierce battle.
Wang Benguo began to lower his head and recall whether there was anything that was not clearly explained in his suicide note.
"Didn't they say he fled to Xingling? When did he come back?" Old Zhang arrived beside Hang Jiaqing without knowing when.
They were at least 300 meters away from Zhang Xiaohu and other poachers. They were above the poachers and spoke in low voices so that those below could not hear them.
"He probably came back a long time ago. He came here probably to cause trouble for me." The moment Hang Jiaqing saw Zhang Xiaohu, he knew why Jin Wangsheng had spent a whole year mentioning Cao Manjin in his ears.
He was just wondering what he had done to deserve Jin Wangsheng's deliberate plot against him. He couldn't understand it, considering there were many forest farms in Bashang and there were many people who were better than him. But if you say that Jin Wangsheng is Zhang Xiaohu's man, Hang Jiaqing can understand it.
Zhang Xiaohu is also from Mulan County, and his home is also at the bottom of the dam. When Zhang Xiaohu was a child, his family was poor. In order to have food to eat, he followed others out to make a living and learned some excellent kung fu.
After serving as a militiaman for half a month, he quit. Later, he started poaching. In just two years, he had several brothers under him.
He is cruel and ruthless, and his reputation is well-known throughout Mulan County.
Because his name contains the character “虎” (tiger), Zhang Xiaohu particularly likes tigers. All year round, whenever the weather is cold or he goes up the mountain, he will wear clothes made of tiger skin. This has also become a symbol of Zhang Xiaohu.
Six years ago, Hang Jiaqing's girlfriend Zheng Moli died at the hands of this group of people led by Zhang Xiaohu. In that battle, Zhang Xiaohu and his men did not gain anything good. A total of five people died on their side, one of whom was Zhang Xiaohu's younger brother Zhang Xiaolong.
The parents of Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaolong have passed away. Zhang Xiaohu attaches great importance to his only younger brother and treats him very well. This is something known to both the black and white circles in Mulan County.
Zhang Xiaohu is cruel and ruthless, and his younger brother Zhang Xiaolong is no less cruel. But unlike Zhang Xiaohu, Zhang Xiaolong does not like to torment unintelligent animals. What he loves most is to torment people. From old to young, from male to female, Zhang Xiaolong has no taboos.
Sometimes he even tortured people just because he was idle, bored, or in a bad mood.
One of the most famous things Zhang Xiaolong had done was that an old man was walking slowly, and he was seen by someone passing by. He thought the old man was an eyesore, so he grabbed the man on the street, beat him up severely, chopped off the man's legs, and threw him in the middle of the railway, leaving him to be crushed to death by a passing train.
Afterwards, he described the moment the old man was crushed by using red fireworks that exploded with a bang and splattered blood. It was so beautiful.
And this is just one of the countless bad things Zhang Xiaolong has done. His crimes are too numerous to list!
After he died, countless people applauded.
Zhang Xiaohu was wanted for killing Zheng Moli and others, so he had no choice but to run to Xingling. Now so many years have passed, it's time for him to come back.
The reason why Jin Wangsheng wanted to bring him and Cao Manjin together was also discovered, because they were both rescued by Cao Manjin back then. Given Zhang Xiaohu's character, how could he let her go?
Hang Jiaqing thought about it and felt that San Ya’s death might not be so accidental. So, the day before Sanya died, they called the yard to say that Sanya was sick and couldn't get out of the kang. What role did Uncle Cao's family, who had been good to Cao Manjin since childhood, play in this incident?
Hang Jiaqing didn't think any further. He lowered his head and wiped the snow off the wooden spear. It had been six years, and it was time to settle some accounts.
"Fuck him." Lao Zhang looked in the direction of Chuzigou, his eyes full of hatred.
In that battle, a total of three policemen died. One of them was a forest policeman, who was Lao Zhang's apprentice. He had just retired from the army and was only 20 years old. He was not even married yet. Because he admired Lao Zhang's shooting skills, he spontaneously became his apprentice. $$
How comfortable was Mr. Zhang during those two years? There was always water in his cup, cool water in spring and summer, and warm water in autumn and winter. He never washed his own clothes, and no matter what time it was, he never had dirty clothes to wear. As soon as I took off my socks, someone washed them for me. They were so exquisite that they were simply not his type.
Lao Zhang married a wife in his early years. She died in labor and the child died in the hospital. He loved his wife deeply and never thought of marrying again. He treated the child as his own son.
Not only did he teach him all his skills, he was also very kind to him. Their daily interactions were no different from those of a father and son.
Hang Jiaqing and Zhang Xiaohu have a deep hatred, and so does Old Zhang.
"Be careful in your plans and don't act on impulse. Lao Zhang, we can't do something that would get us hurt without getting our revenge. We all have to live well." Hang Jiaqing's voice was unusually calm.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Hang Jiabai beside him and said, "Wait a minute, take your partner away, don't look back, go back to the yard."
Hang Jiabai didn't know about the grudge between Hang Jiaqing and Zhang Xiaohu, but he knew what Hang Jiaqing meant by this sentence.
He nodded to Hang Jiaqing, who smiled and said, "Be nice to them in the future."
Hang Jiaqing patted his brother's shoulder and said something that seemed to be very ordinary, but Hang Jiabai felt uncomfortable.
He is a policeman and he knows what Hang Jiaqing means. Although Hang Jiaqing told Lao Zhang to be careful with his plans and not to do anything that would get him involved, he had already prepared himself to not go back.
Hang Jiabai couldn't say anything to stop him, just like no matter how dangerous something he did, Hang Jiaqing never stopped him after knowing about it.
They all have faith and belief in their hearts. His belief is to protect the people, and his brother, to protect this boundless forest that was grown with great effort, as well as the animals living in the forest.
Hang Jiabai took the camera and retreated to Lin Shuyue's side. He pursed his lips tightly. Lin Shuyue heard everything he said to Hang Jiaqing clearly. She reached out and grabbed Hang Jiabai's hand, but Hang Jiabai held it back with his hand trembling slightly.
Lin Shuyue set up the camera and took out a brick from her bag. Looking at Hang Jiabai who had no weapon, Lin Shuyue took out another brick.
That piece was collected by Lin Shuyue recently. It came from a corner of a courtyard in the capital and was originally used by Aunt Zhao to pad the legs of flower pots.
The reason she put an extra brick in her bag was that she felt she had encountered more and more perverts during this period. One brick is not safe enough. If it is thrown out, she will not be able to pick it up for a while, so she still needs a spare one.
Hang Jiabai looked at the red brick with two arc-shaped marks on the surface and was speechless for a moment. But he still took the brick in his hand.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier. Hang Jiabai and his men were fine, but the poachers below had entered the forest early in the morning and had been lying there for two or three hours. There was still no news from Chuzigou.
They hadn't even had a sip of hot water and were already extremely cold. One of them couldn't bear it any longer and crawled out of the snow first, his face turned red from the cold.
Once there is a first, there will be a second. These poachers have not received professional training. Although they work under Zhang Xiaohu and are usually obedient, it is obvious that they cannot follow orders like soldiers.
"It's freezing cold. Brother, how long do we have to wait? Could it be that Jin Wangsheng has betrayed us?"
"Get down here! Ask Jin Wangsheng how many people dare to betray me. Is it because there are too many people in his family or because his house is too nice? Get down right away. If your actions alert those stinky patrolmen, I will make you pay." Zhang Xiaohu's voice was loud, and he raised his head from his hiding place.
A little bit of it poked out from the bushes.
Opportunities are rare and will never come again. Hang Jiaqing made a gesture, and Old Zhang, who had already aimed at Zhang Xiaohu, narrowed his eyes and pulled the trigger.
With a "bang", a bullet hit Zhang Xiaohu's head. When Zhang Xiaohu heard the gunshot, his face changed and he rolled away from the spot. The bullet hit the tree behind him.
"Damn it, they're up there, hit them!" Zhang Xiaohu was furious. He raised the gun in his hand and fired it towards Hang Jiaqing and the others.
The snow, which was flat just now, began to move, and people emerged from the snow one after another. Following the movement on the snow, Lin Shuyue discovered that within the 200-meter detection range, there were still seven or eight objects that had not been detected because they were too far away.
Some of them even had machine guns in their hands.
The machine gun fired at Lin Shuyue and the others. There was a cover in front of Hang Jiaqing and the others, and because they hid well, no one came forward.
They leaned against trees or rocks, with their backs to the mountain, breathing quietly. Their patrol team had limited bullets, and if they missed their target, they couldn't show up. There is also a sniper in Zhang Xiaohu's team.
Hang Jiaqing looked in the direction of Lin Shuyue and the others. Hang Jiabai looked at him and pulled Lin Shuyue's hand: "Let's go."
Lin Shuyue glanced at Hang Jiabai, pursed her lips, and followed him to retreat little by little. Their retreat route just passed by Jin Wangsheng. It was also a coincidence that when Lin Shuyue crawled to Jin Wangsheng's side, Jin Wangsheng just opened his eyes. Lin Shuyue raised the brick, and Jin Wangsheng closed his eyes again.
The two moved to the bottom of the hill, and Hang Jiabai put the camera in Lin Shuyue's hand: "Ayue, I know you remember the way here. Go back and tell my mother about the situation here, and my mother will call the police."
"What about you?" Lin Shuyue looked up.
Hang Jiabai touched Lin Shuyue's pale face, held her in his arms, and kissed her forehead: "I have to go back. I can't watch my brother fall in front of me."
As soon as Hang Jiabai finished speaking, they heard Zhang Xiaohu's voice: "They have no bullets, and not many people. Brothers, charge!"
"As long as we kill them, we can take as much as we want from this forest in the short term!"
Following Zhang Xiaohu's instigation, several people couldn't help but cheer out loud.
Hang Jiabai pushed Lin Shuyue in the direction they came from: "Let's go!"
