Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain
Chapter 693 It's You!!
Number Five, descending from the cliff edge, resembled a nimble ape, crouching low to lower his center of gravity, then using one hand to hold onto a nearby rock or bush, and quickly slid down.
When they reached the vicinity of where the blind sheep had fallen, they heard footsteps and struggled to get up to continue their escape.
But Number Five didn't give it much time to react.
He raised his hand and draped the slipknotted rope directly over the neck of the hanging sheep.
The slipknot could not possibly go around the large, thick ram's horn, but Number Five took a different approach, tucking the bottom of the rope into the slipknot and then quickly tying a horse-tethering knot.
The ram tried to struggle again, but with its neck tied, it could no longer make any waves.
Number Five seized another opportunity, grabbed one of the sheep's hind hooves, and then quickly tied it with a rope.
Now the ram had completely lost its chance to escape. With a rope tied around its neck and hind hooves, it couldn't even muster the strength to struggle.
Number Five tightened the rope slightly, and then tied the front hoof on the opposite side as well. He did the same to tie the remaining two hooves securely.
After doing all this, Number Five turned around and glanced at the way back. He gritted his teeth, lifted the sheep up by both arms, and swung it onto his shoulder, hoisting it onto his back.
Turn back, lower your center of gravity, and climb up the sloping mountain step by step.
Yue Feng and Xiao Tao were both shocked to see this.
This is a living creature weighing at least a hundred pounds, but on Number Five's shoulder, it's as easy as carrying a sack of rice or a bucket of water.
"Are you sure you can manage? Be careful!" Yue Feng called out, somewhat worried.
Number Five grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "Don't worry, there's a place to stay, you can get up there!"
Number Five said he could come up, and he really could. He was a little nervous with every step he took, but he kept steady and gradually approached the edge of the cliff.
When they reached a distance of four or five meters from the edge of the cliff, Yue Feng could clearly see the fine beads of sweat on Number Five's forehead.
Without saying a word, he took another deep breath, and with the bound and immobile sheep on his back, he used only his right hand for leverage to climb up.
Upon arriving at the scene, Yue Feng and Xiao Tao immediately helped take the suspended sheep.
Having successfully completed his mission, Number Five plopped down on the ground, panting heavily.
"Damn it, thank goodness the terrain here is a bit gentler. If it were a few degrees steeper, carrying it up here would have been a real struggle!" Number Five said.
Yue Feng glanced down at the hanging sheep in front of him.
Up close, this adult goat is quite beautiful, with large, strong, curved horns and finely textured fur that is a mix of light and dark gray. At this moment, whether it is nervous or afraid, its belly is heaving and struggling, but it is tightly bound and cannot move at all.
"Are you thirsty? Want some water?" Yue Feng asked.
Number Five didn't stand on ceremony. He took the water bottle, tilted his head back, and gulped down a large mouthful of water.
"Time is tight, shall we head back? They're waiting upstairs!" Number Five said, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.
"Okay! Let's go back! You fire the signal to the others, Xiao Tao, you and Number Five help each other carry the sheep back!"
Xiao Tao nodded, then poked the thick stick he had been carrying into the middle of the sheep's four hooves, and the two of them lifted the prey up.
Number Five immediately pulled the bolt to chamber a round, and then fired three bullets into the air in quick succession.
Tactical objectives achieved. Return to camp!
Meanwhile, spying agents, who were less than 500 meters from the front line, quietly followed after discovering early this morning that almost all of the camp's elite troops had been deployed.
He had seen Wen Dong and Xiao Tao return to the camp halfway through their journey, but he wasn't overly wary of it.
After all, everyone's expressions and actions seemed normal, and there was no suspicious detail.
Now, the spy, who was crouching on the edge of the woods, saw with his own eyes Number Five carrying up a strange animal with two large horns on its head.
The voyeur's breathing quickened.
This is the bounty on the international black market for a woman with a reward of 500,000 US dollars!
After enduring so much hardship and sleeping outdoors for so long, we've finally achieved results.
If I find an opportunity, I can just take a gun and shoot all these people to death, and then this precious hanging sheep will be mine!
Once the bounty is collected, the world will be vast, and there will be no more constraints. You can completely change your identity and start a new life in another place.
The voyeur's heart rate had soared to at least 120 beats per minute, and he felt that a wonderful life was just around the corner.
After Yue Feng and his two brothers, along with their dog and falcon, had walked far away from the camp, the spy quietly crawled up from the grass where he had been hiding.
Just as I was about to stretch my arms and body, a sudden gust of wind rushed past my ear.
The voyeur felt a sudden darkness before his eyes and instantly lost consciousness.
Number Two expressionlessly put away his hand chop and bent down to pull the peeping tom's shoelaces.
He put his hands behind his back, then neatly tied the person together with his shoelaces, hoisted the person and gun onto his shoulder, and strode towards the camp.
After Yue Feng and Xiao Tao returned to the camp and said hello, Number Two quietly sneaked into the forest to conduct a thorough exploration and search of the surrounding terrain and environment.
This search actually led him to a new discovery.
If a person wants to live, they will inevitably have to eat, drink, and relieve themselves. The voyeur is very careful, but he can only fool ordinary people. He cannot fool a professional like Number Two without leaving a trace.
For example, when he goes to the mountain spring to fetch water, even if he tries to cover it up, he will still leave footprints.
Following a preliminary search based on the footprints in the water source area, the second person quickly discovered the tree hole where it had spent the night, and then the large pine tree where it had been hiding.
After thoroughly investigating the situation, they followed the subtle clues and caught the spy hiding on the edge of the woods.
When Yue Feng and the others arrived at the camp, Number One, Number Three, and Number Four also climbed up the cliff and rushed back.
"Boss, did the job go smoothly?" Number One looked at the ram being carried back from afar, his face filled with undisguised excitement.
"Yeah! Has Number Two come back?" Yue Feng asked casually.
"Number Two? He's not at the camp. Where did he go? Wasn't he supposed to stay here to watch the house and make breakfast?" Number One looked around and scratched his head in confusion.
"Oh, wait for him for a bit! Let's organize his personal belongings and other odds and ends first!"
"Let's leave the unimportant but heavy stuff on the mountain and wait for Uncle Hat to come and get it!"
"You've sent Number Two out to do some work?"
Yue Feng nodded: "He'll probably be back soon. He could hear the three gunshots, so he probably didn't go too far!" Over here, a few people were talking when they saw Number Two carrying someone and striding back.
"Damn, Number Two brought someone back!" Number One caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye and immediately rushed over.
Upon hearing this, Yue Feng and Xiao Tao immediately looked over. When they saw the person being carried, who was fully dressed up, Yue Feng broke out in a cold sweat for no reason.
To the average person, his clothes just looked tattered and ragged, but Yue Feng, who had lived two lives, knew that this thing was called a ghillie suit!
Only top-tier old silver coins, or experts skilled in precision shooting, would like to wear this thing. No wonder I haven't discovered his existence for so long.
"Let's go over and have a look!"
Yue Feng called out and quickly walked over.
Number Two walked up to the camp and threw the captured man onto the ground. The man cried out in pain, coughed a few times, and opened his eyes.
Yue Feng glanced at the other person's eyes; they had typical yellow skin and black eyes.
The next second, he lifted the other person's mask without hesitation.
"It's you! Damn it!"
For a moment, Yue Feng felt an absurdity that was even more exaggerated than the feeling of living two lives with his memories intact.
Yue Feng not only knew the voyeur who had been captured alive, but he was also from the same village.
This person was none other than Zhou Yuanchao, who had been missing for over a year!
Since last winter, when Qiao Muzhou's underling was shot and killed, Zhou Yuanchao has seemed to have vanished into thin air and has not been seen since.
Uncle Hat, who was investigating the shooting, staked out his house several times, even making a surprise visit on New Year's Eve, but he never saw him. His wife and children had gone back to her parents' home and rarely came back. Many people were saying that Zhou Yuanchao had killed someone and fled to the border.
When Yue Feng heard these rumors, he felt they were probably exaggerated and that the people in question had gone to hide in some forest farm or coal mine in another place.
But to his surprise, when he was asked to help catch the sheep, the Russian killed two groups of them, and Zhou Yuanchao was also secretly watching him from the shadows.
Zhou Yuanchao spat out a mouthful of saliva with a look of resentment: "Damn it! How did you find me? I'm not convinced!"
Yue Feng didn't respond, but instead gave Xiao Tao a look.
Xiao Tao didn't care about any of that. He didn't care if you were Zhou Yuanchao or anyone else. Even if you were the top leader of the Russian army, he wouldn't hesitate to beat you up if his boss told him to.
Xiao Tao took a step forward and kicked Zhou Yuanchao hard in the chest.
"Fuck your mother! You actually joined the Russian bear poachers' gang!" Xiao Tao shouted as he kicked.
After several heavy kicks, blood welled up from the corner of Zhou Yuanchao's mouth.
This guy had a cold and sharp look in his eyes, like a lone wolf. His teeth were full of blood, but he didn't seem to be convinced at all. He spat a mouthful of bloody saliva onto Xiao Tao's shoe.
Xiao Tao wasn't going to tolerate it either, and kicked him all over again.
When Xiao Tao got tired of kicking, Zhou Yuanchao was also kicked until he was motionless. His hands were tightly bound by shoelaces, which were digging into his flesh. At this moment, his palms were not bleeding and the color was off.
Yue Fengchong No. 2 said, "Search him and take out all his belongings!"
Number Two quickly searched the person and then took out all the items from the large backpack in the tree hole.
The Russian-made AK47, several fully loaded magazines, dried meat, a lighter, a dagger, spare medicine, and a sleeping bag.
Yue Feng wasn't particularly bothered by these odds and ends until he discovered six ginseng roots wrapped in birch bark at the bottom of his backpack.
The wild ginseng plants are not very big. Judging from the root head, they are roughly estimated to be about twenty years old. Their appearance and the quality of their roots are only average.
What made Yue Feng want to kill was a red string with a copper coin attached to the tip of the ginseng's neck.
This is a step that the old-school ginseng harvesters under Grandpa Wu's ginseng gang would only do after they had harvested wild ginseng.
The setup, including wrapping the ginseng with birch bark and cushioning it with moss, is a rule that professional ginseng harvesters follow.
Zhou Yuanchao was a hunter by trade. Even if he encountered ginseng in the mountains, he would never do such a thing, much less carry the red rope and copper coins used to tie ginseng.
So where did this ginseng come from? The answer is self-evident!
“Brother Feng, there are six ginseng roots at the bottom of his bag!” Xiao Tao said.
Yue Feng's face was grim. He slowly squatted down in front of Zhou Yuanchao and asked, "Where did this ginseng come from? I'm asking you, where did this ginseng come from?"
Zhou Yuanchao's eyes were bloodshot, and facing Yue Feng's somewhat out-of-control questioning, he revealed a manic expression: "Since you already know, why did you still ask me!"
Yue Feng took a deep breath: "The first time, I knew that you secretly shot Qiao Muzhou because of the poisoning of the Dog Gang, but I didn't report you."
Last time Liu Laosan went missing, I let you go again.
You buried the body in a pile of rocks and left a silver kerosene lighter with the character "Lan" engraved on it at the burial site!
Another time, you threw dog meat into my house, but the dog didn't eat it, and I didn't make a fuss about it!
I always feel that since we're all from the same village, it's best to leave each other some leeway to avoid a complete falling out! Leave room for maneuver, so you can meet again in the future!
The last time, you ambushed someone at the entrance to the mountain pass, shot them, and ran away, but I didn't expose you.
I never imagined that after harming the ginseng farmers in Grandpa Wu's ginseng-raising group, you'd now turn your attention to me!
"you……"
Upon hearing these words, Zhou Yuanchao's previously manic expression instantly froze.
He thought he had done a flawless job of plotting against Liu Laosan last time, but he didn't expect that Yue Feng already knew the truth, but just didn't expose or report him.
As for the other times, Yue Feng's descriptions were quite detailed and convincing. Even without evidence, they were enough to provide Uncle Hat with directions for the investigation, but Yue Feng remained silent.
"I made a mistake in how I treated you, giving you the opportunity to harm the villagers!"
What wrong did those ginseng farmers who went into the mountains to harvest ginseng do? You risked people's lives for a few worthless ginseng roots!
"Today, you will die here!"
Yue Feng's tone was devoid of any emotion, as cold as ice in the dead of winter.
"Number One, tie his hands and feet tightly with thick rope, gag him, and throw him onto the platform on the other side of the cliff in the ravine!" Yue Feng said without hesitation.
"Brother! No need for all that trouble, I'll just shoot this bastard dead!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Tao immediately picked up his gun, itching to get going.
It's too easy to kill one or two people in the old forest. This kind of scoundrel deserves to die ten times over.
Yue Feng gave Xiao Tao a sharp look but didn't say anything: "Do as I say! Everyone else pack your things, have breakfast, and go down the mountain!"
Number One understood what was going on from their conversation, and he didn't feel any emotional fluctuation when faced with this murderous maniac who was harming his own compatriots.
Immediately, Number One and Number Two exchanged a glance, then hoisted Zhou Yuanchao onto their shoulders and headed straight for the platform below the cliff that Yue Feng had mentioned. (End of Chapter)
