The lair of Zhou Lingshi, the leader of the poaching gang, is deep in the Himalayas.
This is a typical three-way zone.
The division of the country still belongs to Nepal, but in fact it has far exceeded Nepal's actual jurisdiction.
Even the forest rangers in the mountainous area dare not go so deep, because the poaching gangs here are really murderous.
Zhou Lingshi's gang has been rooted here for ten years, and it is only because of their long years here, familiarity with the terrain, and the ability of the leaders Zhou Lingshi and Mao Dahai that they can barely maintain it.
However, up to now, the status quo is worrying.
Because in this mountainous area, as poaching became more and more rampant, there were fewer and fewer valuable things.
In their territory, valuable prey such as Indian rhinoceros are already very rare, and if one or two of them pass by occasionally, it is considered a jackpot.
In fact, Zhou Lingshi had already thought about changing his career, but his brothers were all brought out from their hometown by him when they were teenagers. They knew nothing except hunting, and they didn't have much capital in their hands.
So it is difficult to change careers.
When he met Lin Shuo's team, he originally wanted to have the courage to extort a sum of money, and then simply run away and change his career.
Being restrained by Lin Shuo at the moment, and knowing the identities of Lin Shuo and others, Zhou Lingshi was both apprehensive and excited, thinking that this was an opportunity.
So he didn't dare to hide anything along the way, and told all the things about his group these years like pouring beans.
Cao Yusheng's ability to judge people is first-class, so after chatting for a day, he has a rough idea of the situation of this group of people.
Cao Yusheng has no absolute standard for evaluating a person's good and evil, but depends on the environment.
In the city, there is no need to worry about food and clothing, stealing a dollar should be cast aside.
But when you are about to die of starvation in these poor mountains and rivers, it is very rare to raise the gun an inch without killing someone.
Cao Yusheng asked Anne about the guns on the mountain before, but none of the bullets were loaded.
Man, it's not really that bad.
Zhou Lingshi, the leader, studied craftsmanship at the Wu family in southern Yunnan and wanted to be a craftsman.
As a result, after finishing the technical studies, he found that he was unemployed after graduation and had no way out.
The man is afraid of getting into the wrong line of work, and that's what he said.
Zhou Lingshi realized that he couldn't make a living in his hometown with his abilities, so he brought a group of boys from his hometown out to make a living.
This person doesn't have the heart to do the business of robbing houses, killing people and taking goods, so he can only go to this kind of mountainous area to do poaching.
Although it is against the law, at least I found a job with a professional counterpart.
It's just that since people have fallen into this situation, if they still have a little bit of kindness, life is actually very difficult.
Although it is an old-fashioned poaching gang, Zhou Lingshi's group is getting smaller and smaller, and there are fewer and fewer people.
The old nest has also been moved several times, and the more it moves, the more remote it becomes.
Now their lair is in a cave in this deep mountain and old forest.
It's not a natural cave, the gang dug it themselves.
The chisel was not very good, and the ventilation was not considered at all.
As soon as Lin Shuo entered, he felt that the smell inside could push him out.
At this time, Lin Shuo also understood that Zhou Lingshi brought people like himself here not because he really wanted to entertain, but because he turned his stomach and showed his family background.
This person has a clear mind, he knows that within the Liemen, Lin Shuo and his group are the heavenly kings and fathers, so he doesn't need to pay attention to face.
Because the grades of the two groups were too different, even if Lin Shuo gave him face, he couldn't handle it.
At this time, it is wise to reveal the truth quickly and express surrender without concealment.
It's okay to be ashamed, it's better than losing your life.
At this time, Zhou Lingshi looked very embarrassed, and said, "These little bastards don't know how to clean up before going out. Leader, please wait a moment, give me some time."
At this moment, Lin Shuo had figured out what was going on with this person, his complexion looked better than before, and he waved his hands: "Forget it, let's do it like this."
At this time, it was completely dark, and Zhou Lingshi fumbled to light the lamp.
The lamp was an oil lamp. Lin Shuo smelled it and knew that it was animal fat.
With the help of the dim light, Lin Shuo looked at the furnishings in the cave.
The oil lamp was placed on a table.
The table was placed at the entrance of the cave, missing a leg, and was padded with stones, and there were several stone piers beside the table.
Other than that, there is nothing decent, except for a few broken quilts on the floor, it is hard to tell that this is a place where people live.
It's really not a good day.
At this moment, several other members of the poaching team also came back one after another, all empty-handed.
No wonder he was empty-handed, the gun in his hand was smashed by Anne before, and he couldn't hit the prey.
Looking at this scene, Lin Shuo was angry and funny.
I came to be a guest at the base camp of the poaching gang. Now that I see this, I have to treat dinner by myself.
In the end, before Lin Shuo could speak, Zhang Jin saw that these people were pitiful, and already distributed the jerky.
Zhang Jin and Wei Xingshan had a bumper harvest this morning. The dried meat all over the mountains added up to more than 300 catties, and the backpacks were not enough to stuff them.
Zhang Jin made a pole out of bamboo, tied the dried meat into two piles with straw ropes, covered it with leaves, and picked it all the way.
This group of poachers didn't dare to come in when they were allotted a piece of dried meat. They just squatted five meters away from the entrance of the cave and gnawed dryly.
Zhou Lingshi was also given a piece, but he was a bit more refined, squatting on the edge of the table, tearing and eating with his hands.
As he ate and ate, the man burst into tears.
"You're a big-hearted person." Cao Yusheng pointed at Zhou Lingshi with a folding fan, "If I bring my brothers to mix up like this, I won't even be able to cry."
After Cao Yusheng's words fell, Zhou Lingshi seemed to be hit by the pain, and collapsed on the ground, crying bitterly.
When he cried, the dozen or so men outside also started crying.
Lin Shuo sat on the stone pier, holding the jerky in his hand, feeling as if he had entered a cemetery.
Now that he lost his appetite, Lin Shuo handed the dried meat to Zhang Jin beside him.
Zhang Jin ate very deliciously. After carrying the burden of more than three hundred catties for a day, the young man wasted a lot, so he hurriedly took it and gorged himself for a while.
Lin Shuo waited like this for a while, and the crying from inside and outside was about the same, and then he said, "Zhou Lingshi, get up, I have something to ask you."
"Hey!" Zhou Lingshi wiped his tears with the back of his hand and stood up.
"The White-headed Flying Corpse." Lin Shuo asked, "Do you really know, or do you pretend?"
"I really know!" Zhou Lingshi nodded vigorously, and said, "When I was studying art in the Wu family, my master Wu Tiannan told me that it was the Huanling of the Cao family."
"So you are Wu Tiannan's apprentice." Cao Yusheng said suddenly, "Wu Tiannan is the only one in the Wu family that I can admire. The old man is almost seventy this year, and he is quite capable."
"Patriarch Cao, your memory is wrong. After counting, my master is seventy-nine this year, almost eighty." Zhou Lingshi corrected.
"Oh." Cao Yusheng smiled, "I misremembered that, it seems that you are indeed a willow from southern Yunnan."
"I dare not hide this from you." Zhou Lingshi said hastily.
"It's useless to know the origin of the white-headed flying corpse." Lin Shuo continued to ask, "Have you seen it with your own eyes?"
"I've seen it." Zhou Lingshi said, "We have this thing in the Himalayas."
"Tell me in detail."
"Originally, I'm actually not sure if that thing is a white-headed flying corpse. I think it looks like it, but I've only heard of it before, but I haven't seen it before." Zhou Lingshi said, "When Patriarch Cao asked this morning, I I understood, this thing has nothing to do, it must be it.
Speaking of which, I almost died in its hands.
That was five years ago, when we were better off than we are now, with thirty-two people and a large territory.
At that time, I found a female rhinoceros that had just grown up. It happened to be the estrus period of the Indian rhinoceros at that time. I reckoned at that time that it would definitely mate with a male rhinoceros.
Just follow along, and if you're lucky, you might find an entire herd of rhinos, and you'll be in for a treat!
So I took seventeen brothers and hung it far away.
As a result, the route of this little female rhinoceros is so damn coquettish, wandering around here and there, completely lost us!
Anyway, the whole route must be going northerly, because the altitude is getting higher and higher, and we humans feel it.
When we reached an altitude of four or five thousand meters, several of my brothers had already suffered from altitude sickness, and their morale was also very low.
I don't think it can go on like this, or forget it, since God refuses to give it, let's not grab it, the future will last forever.
As a result, when we were walking down the mountain, a shadow suddenly passed in the air!
I didn't see it directly at the time, it was too fast, it was just a flick from the corner of my eye.
It should not be small, about the same size as a human.
Then I lay down, my ears hurt, my head hurt, and my heart seemed to be pulled out!
At that time, I could only roll on the ground and couldn't do anything. As I rolled, I passed out.
When I wake up again, my brothers are all over.
The ear was full of blood, which was already clotted.
Leader, the altitude is too high there!
My Zhou Lingshi is useless, I really can't memorize the corpses of those seventeen brothers..."
Having said that, Zhou Lingshi's eyes turned red again, and his voice began to choke.
"You are the luckiest of misfortunes." Cao Yusheng said at this time, "You were rolling in the snow, this action saved you, did you get water in your ears at that time?"
"Yes." Zhou Lingshi took a breath and nodded.
"That's right, that's the white-headed flying corpse," Cao Yusheng said.
"Did that flying corpse fly over you?" Lin Shuo asked again.
"Yes." Zhou Lingshi nodded, "I'm sure I won't make a mistake about this, it just flew over and has wings!"
"Oh, it has wings." Lin Shuo nodded, "Alright, do you remember where the accident happened?"
"Boss, I will never forget that place in my life."
"Okay, then you have a good rest tonight, and take us there tomorrow morning." Lin Shuo said, "I will avenge your seventeen brothers by the way."
"Thank you leader!"
