Chapter 309 Poaching
Song Moting and his friends also saw the snowflakes. At the moment they saw the snowflakes, they had actually walked into a valley in the distance.
At the deepest part of the col, they saw two cabins.
Although they had not found the way out yet, they were all delighted when they saw the cabin.
There are many wooden houses in the forestry in this mountain. Because the forestry workers have to go out to cut wood from time to time, most of the time the workers live together in the wooden houses for one to two months.
So some simple wooden houses were built everywhere to provide workers with a temporary place to live.
Whether there are people there now is one thing, but at least seeing the wooden house is like seeing hope. Where there are wooden houses, there is a high probability that workers will appear.
At least they wouldn't be out in the wilderness tonight, as the snow had started to fall again.
In this kind of weather, their chances of survival in the wild are very low.
The three men were desperately walking towards the cabin, and they seemed to be very close.
In fact, the distance is not close at all.
As the snow got heavier, their vision became blurred and they almost felt dizzy walking this distance.
When we were almost approaching the wooden house, there was a sudden roar.
Accompanied by a loud noise.
Song Moting threw Jiang Xiaoxiao to the ground on the snow.
Zhang Baocheng had already fallen to the side of the road on his own accord.
Jiang Xiaoxiao's ears were buzzing due to the loud noise, and she still doesn't know what happened.
She only saw Song Moting's mouth opening and closing in front of her, but she had no idea what he was saying.
Zhang Baocheng rolled over into the ditch in front.
Then there was another loud bang.
The snow in front of Zhang Baocheng was stirred up with snowflakes. Zhang Baocheng didn't dare to move and huddled on the ground without moving.
Song Moting hugged Jiang Xiaoxiao.
He protected her tightly with his body.
He was not mistaken; he heard gunshots.
Guns are under state control, but there are guns here, and he can clearly tell that the sound of the bullet is that of a homemade shotgun.
You know, hunting is prohibited here.
But there are often some people who would secretly venture up the mountain with homemade shotguns to poach.
He didn't know whether hunting was allowed in other places, but there were clear regulations here in the forest farm.
The land of the forest farm belongs to the state and the collective, and it has been fenced off!
No one is allowed to enter the forest farm without permission, but now someone is coming in with a gun, which means that these people are here to poach.
Because they have seen many rare animals on the forest mountain, such as tigers.
Some people will take risks to make money. For example, tiger bones and tiger skins can be sold at a good price.
Not to mention that some people need things like bear paws, which are hunted and are expressly prohibited by the state.
Five men emerged from the woods, each holding a gun, with the black muzzles pointed at the three of them.
"Put your hands above your head. Now, go inside."
Someone is in command.
Song Moting observed and thought about how to escape.
With his skills, it was not difficult for him to deal with five people alone, but the biggest difficulty was that these five people actually had guns in their hands. Although they were homemade shotguns, homemade shotguns were also lethal.
Jiang Xiaoxiao had no ability to resist at all, especially Zhang Baocheng.
It's okay to resist on your own.
If these people opened fire directly, he would not be injured, but Jiang Xiaoxiao and the other person would most likely become injured.
Even if there was a slight danger, he would not let his wife take the risk and use Jiang Xiaoxiao's life to be a hero.
The three people were taken into the house. As soon as they entered the house, the hot air made their breathing difficult.
The air in the room is very foul.
When they walked into the house, they realized that they were looking at two small houses, and there was actually another small house behind the small house.
However, the house at the back is probably used to store miscellaneous items, and is not as tall as the house at the front.
There were seven or eight people in the room in total.
Each of these men had a shotgun in his hand.
When I saw the three of them, I looked them up and down.
Jiang Xiaoxiao could see that there were a lot of things piled up in the corner of the room, and the whole room was filled with the smell of blood.
Those things piled up are all wild animals in the mountains. The most obvious ones are some animals that the country has explicitly prohibited from hunting. From now on, these will be included in the national protected animal list.
The loud noise just now made her ears still buzzing. Although she couldn't hear anything, she probably understood the current situation. They ran into poachers.
They all carry weapons.
Now they have broken into the door and discovered everything, and there is absolutely no way these poachers will let them go.
Once they report to the forest farm, these people will be shot.
When these people saw the three of them, they just looked at them coldly and didn't realize that Jiang Xiaoxiao was a woman.
I didn't even take a second look at them because their faces were covered in blood after they fell from the mountain.
Add to that the mess and smoke of the past two days, and the way he's dressed, it's hard to tell whether he's a man or a woman.
This strange dress made the men laugh for a long time.
"What do you do and why are you here?"
Song Moting answered first, "We are villagers nearby. We originally wanted to go up the mountain to look for something. But we fell down the mountain. We are lost. We can't find the way out at all. We walked here by accident and didn't see anything."
Song Moting put away his standard Mandarin and began to answer the other party in the local dialect mixed with local dialect.
Obviously, after hearing what he said, the other party looked at Song Moting. His aura had already changed. His waist began to bend, his back slowly hunched, and his shoulders drooped.
At first glance, he turned out to be an ordinary and honest mountain man who worked all year round.
"Who are these two?"
"We are a family. This is my eldest brother, and this is my younger brother. Originally, the three brothers wanted to go up the mountain to hunt to improve our family's life. You can see that we are covered with rabbit skins.
I only know a few skills that the older generation knows. Who would have thought that we were unfamiliar with this mountain, and when we got here, we fell off the mountain. That’s why we are in this situation now, and we can’t get out no matter how hard we try.”
Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled, and her hearing seemed to gradually recover. She could roughly understand what Song Moting was saying, listening to his fluent dialect.
She didn't expect that Song Moting was learning and applying what he learned. He had only been here for more than a year and had learned the local dialect.
I learned it from the forest workers.
Now I am learning and applying it directly on other people.
Zhang Baocheng was so frightened that he was shaking all over and could only nod.
"I'm really shocked when I see the way you're dressed. You look like hunters. Look at this rabbit skin. You must have worked so hard to survive in the mountains! Now that you're here, you can stay here.
When we go out of the mountains, we will take you with us. We will provide you with food. But we cannot provide you with food for nothing. You must help us to deal with these wild animals every day. Skin the animals that need to be skinned. Do as we tell you. Of course, you will benefit in the end."
Seeing the ready-made labor force, these people were all delighted.
They were also trapped here and caught a lot of prey, but if they continued to be trapped like this, the prey would definitely become rotten.
It would be a waste of time then, so of course they are happy when they meet such a serious hunter. They know how to hunt, but they don't know how to deal with leather or anything else.
Isn't this a ready-made person?
It depends on their wishes whether to take them out after using them.
Anyway, this is deep in the mountains and forests, and no one would know even if they buried these people here.
