Stone paused for a moment.

How did this stranger know his name?

Luo Fei smiled gently.

"My name is Luo Fei, and I'm also from Liuxi Village."

"Your dad's name is Liu Bin, right?"

Stone's eyes slowly widened.

"Do you know my dad?"

Luo Fei nodded.

"I know you. I'm here to save you."

Stone was stunned for several seconds.

Then his eyes reddened.

"Uncle..."

He wanted to say something, but his lips trembled and tears streamed down his face.

Xiaoyu, who was next to her, also started crying.

"I want my mom..."

The two children were crying together.

Luo Fei didn't rush to comfort her.

He reached out and grasped the lock on the iron cage door.

It was a padlock about the size of a fist.

He twisted it gently.

Click.

The lock is broken.

Luo Fei opened the cage door.

"Come out."

Stone pulled Xiaoyu along as they climbed out of the cage.

Their legs went weak and they could barely stand.

Luo Fei helped them up.

"It's alright now."

His voice was soft, and the two children were leaning against him, still sobbing.

Luo Fei patted them on the back.

Then he stood up.

He walked over to the cages next to him and lifted the covers of several cages that were covered with black cloth.

Inside were several golden eagles and a small clouded leopard, curled up and injured.

Luo Fei watched for a while.

Then he turned around and looked at the three poachers.

The three men were still lying on the ground, trembling all over.

Especially the scarred man, whose face was pale.

He suddenly realized something.

Today, we've really hit a brick wall.

Luo Fei ignored them and turned to walk into the woods, dragging the tall, thin man and the short, fat man who had been knocked unconscious over like two tattered sacks.

The five people huddled together, groaning and unable to move. He took out his phone, but the screen showed no signal, so he turned on the satellite communication function and quickly received a signal.

He found the business card the police had given him before he went into the mountains and dialed the command center.

The call was answered quickly.

"Feed? Who?"

"I'm Luo Fei from Liuxi Village. The two children have been found."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by an excited voice.

"Found them?! Where are they? How is the child? Are they hurt?"

"It was at a poaching camp deep in the mountains," Luo Fei said. "The child is fine."

"At the same time, five poachers were arrested, several guns were seized, and a batch of protected animals that they had hunted were also confiscated."

"I'll send you the location; send someone over to handle it as soon as possible."

The person on the other end of the phone readily agreed.

"Alright, alright! We'll organize a group to go into the mountains right away! You watch the child and make sure he doesn't run around!"

Luo Fei responded.

hang up the phone.

He raised his head and looked up at the sky.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves and fell on the two children.

Stone and Rain leaned against each other, still sobbing softly.

But the fear in his eyes was slowly fading.

Luo Fei withdrew his gaze, led the child to a clean rock and sat down, protecting the child by his side.

Behind them were five poachers lying on the ground.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on his shoulders.

The two children nestled against his legs and gradually stopped sobbing.

Shi Tou raised his head and looked at Luo Fei's profile.

"Uncle, are those people bad people?"

Luo Fei looked down at him.

"Yes."

Stone pursed his lips, looking somewhat aggrieved.

"They hit me, they hit me with sticks."

He rolled up his sleeve, revealing several bluish-purple bruises on his arm.

Xiaoyu, who was next to her, also whispered.

"They didn't give me or my brother Stone any food, they just gave us some water..."

Luo Fei's eyes were cold.

He reached out and gently rubbed Stone's head.

"Does it still hurt?"

Stone shook his head.

"The pain will subside when Uncle comes."

Luo Fei remained silent.

He looked up and gazed at a corner of the camp.

There were several fresh furs piled up there.

There were also several skeletons, carelessly discarded in the grass.

The meat had been completely removed from the bones, leaving them white and gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

Luo Fei stared at those things in silence for a long time.

Then he turned his head and looked at the five people lying on the ground.

Scarface was lying at the front, his shoulders trembling slightly.

The blond-haired man and the flat-headed man lay down beside him, not daring to breathe.

The tall, thin man and the short, fat man were thrown to the other side; one was clutching his shoulder, and the other was huddled up in a ball.

Five people, five lives.

According to them, just those protected animals alone would be enough to get them sentenced to decades.

Selling children, at most ten or eight years.

Ultimately, he may not be sentenced to death.

Even if sentenced to life imprisonment, they can still continue to commit crimes after a reduced sentence of more than ten years.

Luo Fei's gaze swept over them, his eyes as calm as if he were looking at five stones.

Then he stood up.

Stone and Rain looked up at him, puzzled.

"Uncle, where are you going?"

Luo Fei lowered his head.

"Uncle has to take care of something."

"You all wait here, close your eyes, and count to one hundred."

Stone paused for a moment.

Xiaoyu has obediently closed her eyes and started counting.

"one two three……"

Stone hesitated for a moment, then closed his eyes as well.

Luo Fei turned around and walked towards the five people.

Stepping on the fallen leaves produces a soft rustling sound.

Scarface shuddered as he heard footsteps approaching, as if he were hearing a countdown to his death.

He looked up and saw Luo Fei walking towards him.

"What do you want to do...?"

Luo Fei remained silent.

He walked up to Scarface and squatted down.

How many protected animals have you sold?

Scarface's lips trembled.

"Not many..."

Luo Fei looked at him.

"How many?"

Scarface swallowed hard.

"It's been over a decade, I can't remember anymore..."

Luo Fei nodded.

He asked again.

"Where would those two children have been sold if I hadn't found them today?"

Scarface dared not answer.

Luo Fei answered for him.

"Sold to human traffickers, sold to the mountains to be someone's son, or sold to even more distant places."

"If you're lucky, you'll be treated like a slave."

"If you're unlucky, your organs will be harvested and dumped in some unknown pit."

Scarface's face was deathly pale.

"No, it means he'd be sold off to be someone's son..."

Luo Fei looked at him.

Do you even believe it yourself?

Scarface was speechless.

Luo Fei stood up, raised his foot, and then stomped down on the scarred man's foot.

Click.

Scarface's right knee was shattered.

"ah--!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the mountains and forests, startling a flock of birds into flight.

Then he kicked him again, crushing his left knee as well.

Scarface was rolling on the ground, clutching his leg, his face contorted in agony.

The blond-haired man and the crew-cut man next to him were terrified and desperately tried to crawl backward.

But Luo Fei had already walked up to Huang Mao.

It's the same as lifting your foot.

Step on it.

"ah--!"

Then comes the buzz cut.

Screams echoed one after another.

Luo Fei turned around and walked towards the tall, thin man and the short, fat man.

The tall, thin man was awakened by the screams. Upon seeing his companion's miserable state, he trembled with fear and soiled himself.

"No, I didn't do anything, I was just guiding the way..."

Luo Fei looked at him but didn't say anything.

Click.

The tall, thin man's screams stopped abruptly, and he immediately fainted.

The last one was short and fat.

He lay on the ground, trembling like a leaf.

"I was wrong, I'll never do it again, please..."

Luo Fei looked down at him.

"When those two children were locked in the cage, did you give them a single bite to eat?"

The short, fat man froze, and Luo Fei raised his foot.

Click.

The short, fat man screamed and also fainted.

Five people, ten legs, all broken.

Luo Fei withdrew his foot, turned around, and walked back to the stone.

The two children were still counting with their eyes closed.

"Ninety-nine, one hundred!"

The stone opened its eyes.

"Uncle, we've finished counting!"

Luo Fei nodded.

"Good girl."

He sat back down on the rock.

The two children came closer and snuggled up to him.

The sun is still shining brightly.

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves.

Only a few people were still groaning intermittently, like a few crushed insects.

More than an hour later.

A cacophony of voices could be heard coming from the mountains and forests.

Luo Fei raised his head.

I saw a dozen or so people rushing towards us in the distance.

Some were wearing police uniforms, some were wearing rescue team uniforms, and there were also a few villagers.

The police officer at the front of the line held a walkie-talkie and gave instructions as he walked.

Several rescue team members carrying stretchers followed behind.

Next up is Liu Qiang.

As soon as he arrived, he spotted Luo Fei sitting on the rock.

He ran over quickly.

"Brother Fei!"

Then he saw the stone and the rain leaning against Luo Fei's legs.

He stood there, completely stunned.

Shi Tou looked up, saw Liu Qiang, and his eyes immediately reddened.

"Uncle..."

Liu Qiang rushed over and hugged the stone tightly.

"Stone! Are you alright? You scared me to death!"

The stone was held tightly, and tears streamed down its face again.

"Uncle, I'm alright. Uncle Luo Fei saved me..."

Liu Qiang loosened the stone and turned to look at Luo Fei.

Her eyes were red, her lips were trembling, and she wanted to say something but couldn't.

In the end, he could only manage to utter one sentence.

"Brother Fei, thank you."

Luo Fei shook his head.

"It's good that you're alright."

Luo Yuanzhi also ran over and picked up Luo Xiaoyu in his arms.

"Xiaoyu! Xiaoyu, my daughter!"

Xiaoyu nestled in her father's arms and burst into tears.

"Dad, I thought I'd never see you again..."

Luo Yuanzhi also cried.

The father and daughter hugged each other and cried together.

The police came over with a group of people.

He spotted the five groaning poachers on the ground at a glance.

And their twisted legs.

His expression changed.

"this……"

He looked at Luo Fei.

Luo Fei's expression remained calm.

"They tried to run away, but I stopped them. That scarred man not only poachs, but he also has connections with human trafficking organizations. You can interrogate him thoroughly."

The policeman opened his mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed it back.

He crouched down and looked at the legs of those people; their knees were all shattered.

Even if this kind of injury is repaired, you'll never be able to walk normally for the rest of your life.

He stood up, his gaze towards Luo Fei somewhat complicated, but he didn't ask anything. He simply nodded and spoke to the person beside him.

"Carry the person back first."

Several rescue team members stepped forward and lifted the five poachers onto a stretcher.

One of the team members saw the animals in the cages and exclaimed in surprise.

"Is that a golden eagle? And a clouded leopard? They're all protected animals!"

The police went over to take a look.

"Take them back with you and hand them over to the forestry department for processing."

The team members got busy.

Take photos, collect evidence, inventory items, and rescue animals.

Luo Fei stood to the side, watching all of this.

Liu Qiang walked over and stood next to him.

"Brother Fei, those guys..."

He glanced at the twisted legs and swallowed hard.

"Did you do this?"
