Chapter 449 Wolf Eyes Hunting
Li Qingqing waited outside Captain Yang Dezheng's office for two days. The next day, Yang Dezheng went to a meeting at a higher-level unit in the city, naturally not in the village. She waited for several more days, but couldn't wait any longer, so she had to give up and decided to handle her grandfather's and brother's funerals herself.
After the poor little girl finished speaking, Captain Yang Dezheng received unfriendly and disapproving looks from a group of people.
Lin's father glared at him fiercely, and Lin Jiadong's eyes were also sharp enough to be daggers.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Captain Yang Dezheng could only give a vague and awkward answer, saying, "It's just a coincidence. Don't worry, Miss Li, I will handle this matter properly. I will have people search the mountains to find your grandfather and brother."
Lin Jiadong snorted coldly and said, "What's the use of finding it? Seven days have passed, the body is already cold, completely cold."
Lin Mei glared at him and lightly patted his arm, but Lin Jiadong still said loudly, "If you ask me, it's time to hunt wolves. The forest farm has organized several wolf hunting teams in recent years, but there have been quite a few wild boar hunting teams. Wild boar meat can be sold and eaten, but wolf meat is sour and tough and not tasty. The forest farm is also too lazy to organize wolf hunting teams."
Yang Dezheng became serious and said with a straight face, "Xiao Lin, don't worry about this matter. I guarantee I will give everyone a fair and square solution, and I assure the Li family that they can rest easy."
He kept repeating this over and over the years, not only Lin Jiadong, but even Li Ju'an was tired of hearing him make guarantees and promises. When it comes to the art of deception and evasion, you have to look to Captain Yang.
To Li Ju'an's surprise, the forestry station actually sent people that very night to organize a wolf-hunting team. The person sent by the forestry station was Old Zhang from the security department. Old Zhang patted his chest and said with a grin, "Little Li, Sun, let's go into the mountains! We've also invited Zhao, Qian from Xiaoling Village, and Jiang from Wangxing Village. The forestry station said that this time, everyone follow me to clear out the sly foxes from the surrounding mountains and give the villagers a peaceful life."
Li Xiao counted on his fingers and looked at Li Ju'an, saying, "Brother, why are so many gunners here? Can Uncle Chen from the forest farm really get so many gunners?"
Li Ju'an didn't expect the forest farm to make such a big fuss this time. If Qin Pao could still enter the mountains, the forest farm would definitely invite Qin Pao over as well.
He asked Li Guaizi. Li Guaizi said that Qin Pao wouldn't be released from prison until the end of the month, and the two of them had arranged to pick him up together. But he guessed that the first thing Qin Pao would do after his release would be to go back to Changbai Mountain to visit the family of his childhood friend whom he had accidentally killed.
My childhood friend's wife and children had remarried and run away, and his elderly mother had also died of illness, leaving no one in the family.
Li Ju'an said, "Brother Li, you've already checked your childhood friend's house, and no one's there. Why does Qin Pao still want to go?"
Li Guaizi sighed and said, "Don't mention it. Don't provoke Lao Qin with this. I'm really afraid that Lao Qin will become the second Lao Tao."
Old Tao suffered a traumatic experience in his early years, which led him to quit his life of illegal hunting and never return to the mountains. The Lu family patriarch also experienced a similar trauma, causing his entire family to quit their illegal hunting and stop going into the mountains. However, the Lu family patriarch had many descendants, and even though they lived off their savings and the leather goods they had sold in the past, they still enjoyed a comfortable life.
But like Lao Tao in the past, Qin Pao was all alone and had no family. If he encountered a strong stimulus, he might become depressed like Lao Tao, suffering from melancholy and staying at home, eventually becoming an eccentric old man.
Li Ju'an said, "Let's pick up Qin Pao at the end of the month first. Who can say what will happen in the future?"
Qin Pao couldn't go fight the wolf team, so Li Ju'an and Li Guaizi joined the wolf-hunting team.
Before heading into the mountains, he made a point of being cautious and called out to Song Desheng, "Do you know Old Qin, the King of Changbai Mountain? If we don't make it out of the mountains this time, tell Old Qin for me that it's not that Li Guaizi and I stood us up, we just had no other choice."
Song Desheng was startled and said, "What hunting? It's just wolves. Brother, you've killed so many wolves, and you've even taken on three or four by yourself. Are you afraid of this one? Don't make it sound like a life-or-death situation. Go and get Lao Qin out yourself."
Li Ju'an shook his head and said, "This time it's different. The Sun family went into the mountains to check beforehand and found the forest that the Li family's daughter mentioned. They found that the whole area was burned seedlings, burned seedlings left by large wild animals, not traces left by barbarians."
Song Desheng was startled, realizing what Li Ju'an meant.
The wolf's eyes have come to take revenge.
Over the past four or five years, Wolf Eyes has grown from a sub-adult cub into a wolf king in his prime. The wolf pack size has expanded exponentially. Adding to this, the massive burning of the seedlings must have been caused by urine left by bears that weren't in their dens. The larger the volume of urine, the more corrosive and damaging the seedlings. How many bears roam freely in winter instead of in their dens?
Song Desheng exclaimed in horror, "Wolf Eyes and those two black bears are back?"
Li Ju'an nodded and said that was true.
Song Desheng quickly said, "Okay, brother, be careful. Can you take my gun with you? I've been busy at the farm lately, so this half-Type 56 is useless to me."
"What's given to you is yours, so take it."
Li Ju'an left the sheep farm, leaving Song Desheng staring blankly at his retreating figure. Song Desheng quickly used the farm's landline to call Chen Xiangqian, immediately yelling, "Chen Xiangqian! You've got a job, kid! A really interesting one, are you in? A once-in-a-millennium opportunity!"
Chen Xiangqian, being a playful hobbyist, perked up at the mention of something fun, even before he could doze off. He chuckled and said, "I'm so bored running around the quarry every day. The rumbling sounds are so loud, I feel like my head is going to get smashed. Tell me, what kind of interesting work is this?"
Song Desheng kept him in suspense, telling him he wouldn't know until the end of the month, and that a very important person would be coming along. This really piqued Chen Xiangqian's interest, his eyes lighting up as he eagerly awaited meeting the "important person" with Song Desheng.
"Is he a foreigner?"
"No."
"You're keeping me in suspense because you don't want to say. Well then, see you at the end of the month."
Meanwhile, Li Ju'an had already followed the forest farm's wolf-hunting team into the mountains.
It was freezing cold, and heavy snow had blocked the mountain passes. He was thinking about his wife and daughter at home. His little girl had just turned two and could call him "Dad" in her sweet, babyish voice that melted anyone's heart. He loved her dearly.
Old Zhang from the security department also has two daughters. He was talking about sending his two daughters off to their weddings. He looked so reluctant to part with them that tears were about to fall.
Old Zhang sighed and said, "That girl from the Li family is pitiful. Her mother ran away with someone when she was so young, and her grandfather and younger brother went into the mountains and never came out. It looks like they were being carried off by wolves. Her father is a good-for-nothing who drinks and doesn't care about anything. Such a poor girl."
Li Ju'an thought of Nannan; they were both his precious daughters, the apples of his eye, the apples of his eye. He gripped the gun handle tightly and said, "I won't say anything more, let's go into the mountains."
