Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 208 The Gang
The big iron gate just opened a crack.

The young forest worker An Meng kicked away, and Captain Xu and Liu Bo, who were ambushing outside the door, rushed in, followed by Dahua and Xiaobai.

The person who opened the door was also thrown away by this kick, and sat on the ground in a daze. Seeing a group of people rushing in, he was too scared to speak.

Three big guarding wolf dogs jumped out of the shed, and seeing their owner injured, they rushed towards Captain Xu with their teeth and claws full of hostility.

At this time.

Dahua and Xiaobai swooped past the crowd, not afraid of three-for-two, and bit the wolfhounds into a ball.

All of a sudden, dog hairs flew around and blood flew wildly.

Dahua pounced on one of the wolfdogs, dodged to avoid the attack of the other wolfdog, and bit the target wolfdog's throat hard with its sharp wolf mouth. The wolfdog resisted desperately, and kicked its hind legs towards Dahua's abdomen. Dodged, exploded violently, opened the wolf's mouth to reveal sharp fangs, and aimed at the wolfdog's throat again.

next moment.

A glint of despair flashed in the eyes of the wolfhound, its body was like a fully inflated ball, suddenly deflated like being punctured by a needle, and fell limply on the ground.

Da Hua firmly bit the wolf dog's throat, staring at the remaining wolf dog fiercely, the wolf dog backed away in fear, turned around and fled out of the big iron gate with its tail between its legs.

On the other side, Xiaobai moved his position flexibly, bit down firmly and firmly, and bit off the backbone of the last wolfhound from behind, and then bit the back of the neck bone with a fatal blow.

The battle is over.

Li Hongbing, who was standing on the sidelines, calmly walked to the person who was still sitting on the ground in a daze, and asked with a smile.

"I remember, are you a big bull or a second bull?"

Wang Erniu woke up abruptly, looked at Li Hongbing in front of him, and said tremblingly, "Li Hongbing, we knelt and beat flags in Caogou Village. What happened to your Li family has nothing to do with our Wang family, why? If you still hold on to them, you really want to kill them all."

Li Hongbing shook his head with a grin, reached out and patted Wang Erniu's face a few times, "Young man, I'm afraid you haven't figured out the current situation yet."

"Doctor Li, Doctor Li." A forest worker came out of the shack, saw Li Hongbing talking to the suspect who opened the door, and hurried to the front, "Doctor Li, the captain let you in. Oh, it's too miserable inside!"

"?"

Li Hongbing didn't know why, as soon as he entered the shack, a rotten and stenchy smell suffocated his eyes, and he almost spat out the mutton soup in his stomach.

Captain Xu and Liu Bo stood in front of the table with livid faces, while other forest officers inspected and detained a few people who were squatting with their heads in their arms.

After a while, I saw hundreds of wild animal carcasses and animal products piled up on the ground of the shack, including wild boars, yellow muntjacs, grass deer, civets...

There are freshly separated skins, flesh, heads, and bright red blood that have not coagulated on the desk table.

suddenly!

His heart twitched violently, and his natural heart, usually dressed as a buddhist, was like an erupting volcano, releasing wave after wave of anger, which made Li Hongbing unbearable, and squatted on the ground holding his chest.

Woohoo!

Dahua and Xiaobai hurriedly ran to Li Hongbing's side, whimpering and growling.

"Doctor Li, are you okay!" Captain Xu also noticed that something was wrong with Li Hongbing, so he hurried over.

He secretly promised to the heart of nature that he would never let these murderers wantonly kill animals, and this temporarily calmed the anger of the heart of nature.

Li Hongbing waved his hand.

"It's okay, I'm not used to it, everyone caught it!"

Captain Xu didn't show any joy, but looked very solemn, and shook his head, "This is just one of their dens, and the hunter has not yet come out in the mountains. This is not a gang, but multiple gangs committing crimes together, with a tight distribution network. Requesting reinforcements from above."

"By the way, we found a lot of wild animals in the cages. Please go and have a look, Xiao Chen, and take Dr. Li to the backyard."

A forest worker hurriedly led Li Hongbing through the slaughterhouse to the backyard, where Liu Bo and Sun Nian were dragging the cages containing the animals into the sun, and watering the animals with hoses.

At a glance, these cages contained a black bear, three badgers, four badgers, two porcupines, and the animals were in poor condition.

After Li Hongbing checked with his senses, these animals were alive and stable, without serious trauma, and were basically malnourished due to hunger. They should have been kept in cages for a long time, secretly mixed the original power into the water, and fed them to the animals. Slowly getting better.

"Just these animals?"

Sun Bo frowned, "Brother Li, it's great to be able to save so many. Those poachers usually skin and slaughter wild animals when they catch them. These are presumably ordered by someone to save their lives."

"Let's go, go back and have a look!" Li Hongbing turned back to the slaughter shed, the first batch of reinforcements called by Captain Xu had arrived, and they were placing the animal carcasses and organs in the shed on the open space in the yard.

Bear paws, carcasses of forest musk deer, civets, grass deer, wild boars, hog badgers, badgers, etc. were all marked with numbers, and forest inspectors took pictures one by one to collect evidence.

Li Hongbing couldn't see this scene, and was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he couldn't help but let the wolf dogs tear the poachers to pieces.

However, you can't let them have a good time before you leave.

"Old Xu, can you ask Dahua to smell the poachers again, in case they slip through the net, I can help."

Captain Xu will be busy taking off now. Just got the data, this den has hunted at least 300 wild animals, including 12 cases of first-class forest musk deer, 5 second-class black bears, and hundreds of other third-class cases. There are more dens that have not been found.

It is conceivable how many wild animals have been hunted and killed. This matter has exceeded my own scope. It is a huge case of hunting, transporting, and trading wild animals in China. The higher authorities attach great importance to it and have set up a joint special class.

And Li Hongbing is the hero who found this den, and coupled with the wolfhound's excellent tracking ability, he may not be sure to ask him for help in the future.

"They are on the other side of the wall. I will ask Xiao Chen to accompany you there." Captain Xu agreed to Li Hongbing's request, but also arranged for someone to accompany him. According to Li Hongbing's love for animals, I am afraid that he will not be able to control the two wolf dogs. The partner was killed.

Li Decai, his two sons and his accomplices were handcuffed side by side, and squatted on the ground with their heads in their arms.

The second son told his father that it was Li Hongbing from Caogou Village who brought Gong'an, and even put the blame on Li Hongbing for notifying him. Anyway, Li Hongbing deliberately took revenge because of the incident in the mourning hall.

"Decai! What a coincidence?" Li Hongbing walked up to the poacher.

Seeing a pair of cloth shoes in front of him, Li Decai raised his head when he heard Li Hongbing's voice, his eyes were venomous, as if he was about to swallow him alive, and his voice was squeezed out between his teeth.

"Li Hongbing, there is an injustice and a debtor. I did something wrong in Caogou Village, but I kowtowed to make amends. Why do you want to kill me when you arrest me today?"

Oh!
I'll bring the inspectors to arrest you!
There is a flaw in what I said!

However, Li Hongbing didn't bother to defend himself, since he had nothing to explain to a man who was about to spend his life in prison.

"Stand up, suspect that you still have accomplices who haven't confessed, I want to collect the smell."

"I don't!" Li Decai didn't know whether he was stubborn or guilty, he squatted on the ground and couldn't get up.

Xiao Chen, who was accompanying them, and Gongan, who was guarding them, were not so easy to talk to. They grabbed their arms and raised them up. Don't care if it hurts, just stand up first and then talk.

"Doctor Li, you can collect the scent now."

Li Hongbing approached, and lightly tapped Li Decai's chest with his finger, "Dahua, smell this place."

Dahua stepped forward and smelled it with her nose.

He tapped his waist again, "Smell this place again."

Dahua continued to smell.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Chen, who was in charge of escorting, didn't think there was any problem. This is how police dogs collect smells.

After sniffing everyone one by one, Li Hongbing returned to Captain Xu, found a reason, and then left and returned to the town.

The moment you walk out of the big iron gate, the irritable heart of nature calms down

Go back to the town and find the three-wheeled motorcycle, and ride to the business hall of Sanpao's house.

San Pao was standing at the door of the store, pacing back and forth.

Seeing the motorcycle appearing, he ran forward a few steps and asked eagerly, "Brother, what happened, you were arrested by the police?"

I was taken away?

Li Hongbing stopped the car, looked at San Pao's anxious expression, "Who said I was taken away?"

"Iron egg!"

"Dahua, Xiaobai, go and whip Tiedan." Li Hongbing turned his head and said to the two wolfhounds in the carriage.

Ow!

Da Hua and Xiao Bai jumped out of the car and rushed into the business hall, only to hear Tie Dan screaming.

Only then did Li Hongbing explain to Sanpao that he was helping the Forest Workers to track down the poaching gang.

I heard that the poaching gang's den was in the slaughterhouse of Wang Chuanfu's family outside the town, and Li Decai and the two boys of the Wang family were involved.

San Pao looked at Li Hongbing playfully, and asked cautiously, "Brother, are you sure it's not revenge?"

"Fuck off!"

Li Hongbing was too lazy to talk to this idiot, and went straight into the business hall.

Shanxing and the babies are in the backyard.

There are two big round tables in the middle of the yard, and the children gather in a circle to watch the fun.

Xiaobai pressed Tie Dan to the ground with his paws, and Da Hua swiped his tail left and right, slapping Tie Dan in the face, but Da Hua knew that Li Hongbing was teaching Tie Dan a lesson, so he didn't use any force.

Li Honghong disperses the children and lets the wolf dogs let go of Tie Dan. Looking at Tie Dan's flushed cheeks, he is very satisfied, "I'll see if you will pay back in the future!"

"Master, you beat me twice today." Tie Dan was very unconvinced.

"Two meals are missing, get out and play." Li Hongbing glared, and when he saw Anna running over, he quickly turned into a fatherly face, and hugged Anna with a smile.

Hey!
As soon as Xiong Cub saw Li Hongbing, he wanted to crawl into his arms, but Anna took the position first, screaming anxiously.

There was adoration in Anna's big eyes, and she asked, "Dad, have you caught the bad guys?"

Li Hongbing nodded, "Caught it, caught a lot of bad guys."

"Father is awesome! I will reward you with the little bear." After finishing speaking, Anna quickly threw the bear cub into Li Hongbing's arms, and ran towards a group of children who were playing around.

Little clever ghost!

Li Hongbing shook his head with a smile, hugged Xiong Cub, and bumped into San Pao who was looking for him.

"You don't cook, you expect Chunmiao to do it?"

"Hey, I can't let Chun Miao do it. I have invited the chef to take you to open your eyes." San Pao walked towards the kitchen with a mysterious expression.

The two came to the kitchen. The rural kitchens are basically the same, except that the town can use liquefied petroleum gas instead of burning wood.

Shan Xing came out of the kitchen with a pot of vegetables, saw Li Hongbing came back, the trace of worry on his eyebrows disappeared, and said warmly, "What are you doing in the kitchen? Go to the yard to drink tea and enjoy the sun. Prepare the dishes."

Three bubbles is called a look of envy.

Looking at other people's daughter-in-law, and then looking at my own wife, since she was pregnant with the child, her temper is getting stronger day by day.

He was laughed at by street stalkers in the town for several days.

Master Su?
Hearing this name, Li Hongbing turned to look at Sanpao.

This is what you call a surprise.

Sanpao smiled and walked into the kitchen, "Master Su, the boss is here, you have to show yourself."

I saw a middle-aged man walking out from behind the stove, with a simple and honest face, not tall but with terrifyingly thick arms, which rivaled those of a silly boy, and his body was full of fireworks.

Wiping his hands with his apron as he walked, he shouted loudly.

"Haha! Boss, I want a drink later."

"Master Su." Li Hongbing greeted politely.

San Pao began to introduce, "Master Su is the most famous banquet cook in ten miles and eight towns. I heard that his ancestors were born in the imperial dining room, and later lived in Songbai Town. The cooking skills are quite good, but there is one thing. Apprentices do it."

Master Su laughed, with a bit of arrogance, "It's not that I don't want to do it, it's that I can't do it. The best dish should be the original taste, just a few farts, boiled cabbage in clear water and braised pig's feet in sauce, those are delicious."

Snapped!
Li Hongbing applauded, agreeing with this statement very much.

The five flavors of life, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty, have different forms and tastes just like the food we eat every day. The five flavors on the tip of the tongue are life, which is the essence of traditional catering culture.

"Master Su, I want to try your handicraft today."

"Just look at it."

Master Su turned around and walked back to the stove, picked up the frying spoon and flipped it up and down.

Not for a while.

Plates of dishes were served on the table, steaming hot, and the aroma permeated the entire yard.

Although there are no high-end ingredients, all the ingredients are locally produced, but under the exquisite craftsmanship of Master Su, they are full of color, fragrance and taste.

8 dishes and 8 bowls, the table is full.

The kids were drooling watching, they sat at the table obediently, and the grandpa could only say dinner.

Li Hongbing didn't say any polite words, and said to eat.

The children have been waiting for a long time, and the pound of mutton that they ate in the morning has already turned into a poop, and they pick up their chopsticks and reach for the plate.

At the table here, San Pao poured wine for Li Hongbing and Master Su, and Master Su lifted up the bowl very skillfully, "Boss, please have a sip of wine and try the dishes."

"Please!" Li Hongbing picked up the bowl and took a big gulp.

Put a piece of braised elbow into the mouth, and the eyes light up instantly.

The elbows are so crispy, the bones fall off easily, and the meat falls off as soon as you touch it. It is delicious, fat but not greasy.

Another family portrait was picked up.

The family portrait is mainly made of seasonal vegetables, with shiitake mushrooms, fungus, magnolia slices, etc. stewed together, the noodles are covered with shredded pork, and the aroma is tangy.

In the mouth, the meat slices are smooth and tender, and the vegetables are delicious.

Sixi meatballs are golden in color and lifelike in shape. The minced meat and diced lotus root are mixed together, and the fragrance is overflowing.

A large plate full of scallion mixed with beef, Master Su's hands are solid, there is no secret, each plate is very full.

It tastes moderately salty, rich in sauce, tender and refreshing, and the meat is firm, neither hard nor woody.

"Good craftsmanship." Li Hongbing gave a thumbs up.
