Manor Romance

Chapter 90 Poachers

Inside the black plastic bag were two wild ducks, which had already died. After the two of them said this, Yunli was sure that the wild ducks came from Spotted Deer Mountain. It seemed that someone had discovered the wild ducks in the valley. , secretly captured and sold for money.

A few months ago, Shen Hong found a group of wild ducks living here in the area beside the gourd water storage pit in the valley. He decided not to disturb them at that time, let them rest well, and breed more wild ducks. Therefore, a large area of ​​low shrubs and pastures were planted there, and the wooden magnetic array was specially modified to create an excellent living environment for wild ducks.

Afterwards, he went to visit several times. As expected, the wild ducks lived well and the number was steadily increasing. Recently, due to too many things, he hadn’t observed them for a long time. Forgot about it.

At that time, Shen Biao and Huang Li were not employees of the manor, but due to their work, they sometimes approached the area over there, so Xu Lin and Shen Hong also told them about it and told them not to disclose it. , so as not to be targeted by interested people.

Yunli trusts the employees a lot, so the news should not have leaked from them. There have been a lot of projects in the manor recently, and it is not uncommon for people to notice it. Besides, after entering the cold winter, many farmers in the surrounding areas are After the harvest is over, when I am at home in my spare time, I used to go to the mountains to pick some wild treasures. It is also very likely that I found the wild ducks in this way, spread the news, and attracted people with ulterior motives.

Banlu Mountain is now Yunli's territory. No matter in terms of contract or reason, as long as it does not touch the interests of the public, the resources in Banlu Mountain belong to him. The surrounding residents go to the mountain to pick wild vegetables, dig bamboo shoots, and even chop. He doesn't interfere with a few trees and bamboos, but poaching is definitely intolerable.

"Who are the wild duck sellers, and how many do they have?" Yun Li cleared his mind before asking about the details.

Shen Biao paused, and said with a distressed face: "I also found out by accident. When I saw them stealing our wild ducks to sell, I went up and questioned them, but I didn't find anything. I even told them about it." There was a conflict, and I managed to snatch these two wild ducks back, but unfortunately they have already wrung out their breath."

Shen Biao is a straightforward person, he does what he thinks of, he is very loyal, but strategy is not his strong point, which is very similar to Shen Hong.Now that they are trying to scare the snake away, that group of people probably won't set up a stall there anymore. It's useless to arrest people in the past, and Yunli can't blame Shen Biao for being impulsive. Everyone's original intention is for the good of the manor, and the most important thing now is to solve the problem. Well, this cannot be allowed to continue.

"How did you find out at that time? Didn't they set up a stall to sell it?" Xu Lin asked puzzled, because Shen Biao came in a hurry, and Shen Biao didn't have time to tell him the details.

"It's not for sale by yelling. They sell ordinary poultry in their stalls. When customers come up, they sell wild ducks secretly. When they look at the goods, they are also sneaky. When I passed by, I met a buyer who drove a car. If he was willing to get out of the car, the other party lifted the wild duck to the car window for him to see, and I happened to see it." Shen Biao explained while recalling.

Xu Lin nodded and analyzed: "It seems that the other party also knows how powerful we are, and they dare not sell it blatantly, for fear of being found out and causing trouble. How many people are hunting?"

Xu Lin's analysis was very good, and he also saw the key point of the problem. Now the manor is in the open, and the poachers are in the dark. It is impossible for them to send people to the mountains to patrol and arrest people 24 hours a day. It is a head, and the benefits can always drive some people to be fascinated by it, and moths fly to the flame.

"There are only four or five people in that group. They don't look like people from our Lu Town. As for whether there are people selling them in other places, we don't know. We have to find a way to prevent these guys from doing whatever they want." The other party said This kind of behavior made Shen Biao very angry. Although he snatched back two wild ducks, but in the conflict, two fists were no match for four hands. He suffered a bit, and now his waist and abdomen are still sore. black hands.

"I chose to sell it on the expressway. It should be sold to those passing by outsiders, so as to minimize the rumors. From this point of view, the matter is not too serious. We should go to the mountain to see the situation, and then make a decision. Stop it." Yun Li's analysis was more detailed and comprehensive, which greatly admired Xu Lin and Shen Biao, and they said yes again and again, and the three immediately set off to the valley to find out.

After entering winter, the rainfall dropped sharply, and the water level of the gourd reservoir dropped a lot. However, due to the large area and the deep enough digging, there is no need to worry about the water supply for the time being. However, Xiaolu Mountain cannot always rely on this irrigation system. When the funds are sufficient, Yunli plans to set up a clock-type irrigation system for this side to facilitate unified management and save some manpower.

The three of them came to the gourd reservoir and found that there were no wild ducks in the surrounding bushes. When they pushed aside the branches, they could still see their nests made of dry twigs and velvet grass. There are also white eggshells scattered around, and many seedlings should have hatched, but it is unknown whether they fled to other places or fell into the hands of poachers.

The situation on the high ground was not much better. Although wild ducks could still be seen, they were very few in number. As soon as they saw someone approaching, they fled and hid in the depths of the jungle. Yunli used electromagnetic force to sense them. After a while, the number of wild ducks left here is less than twenty, and the situation is worse than he imagined. He remembered that the last time he visited, there were at least two hundred wild ducks in the valley. For a while, the number must be more than this number.

"I came to adjust the water level last week. I didn't find this situation at that time. The other party should have only started hunting in the past few days." After taking over the pond, the irrigation of the entire Xiaolu Mountain is basically done by Shen Biao. Responsible, so he often has to go to the reservoir in the valley to adjust the water level, and he is quite familiar with the situation here.

Xu Lin also agreed with this opinion, saying: "That's right, and wild ducks are not so easy to catch. They are not only highly alert, but also very united. If you catch a nest, the others will definitely run away after hearing the news. Most of them should They scattered and hid in the mountains."

Yunli had the same idea. He had personally caught wild ducks and knew it was not an easy task, so he suggested: "Let's go into the mountains for a walk and see where they all go. Their favorite food is all gathered here." , shouldn’t run too far.”

Then, the three of them headed into the forest, but after a short walk, Yunli heard the wail of a wild duck, which was very different from the usual cry, so he took the two of them to have a look, only to find a young duck The wild duck's paws were caught by a hunting trap, and it couldn't get away. It crawled on the ground and wailed repeatedly, hoping to attract its companions to come to the rescue, but Yunli and the three of them were recruited.

This scene shocked the three of them. They didn't expect the other party to use this kind of method. Once the wild ducks fell into it, it was basically impossible to break free, and this way of catching them would do great harm to them.Shen Biao broke the mechanism of the hunting trap and let the little wild duck go. The three of them searched around and found several such hunting traps with different styles, some big and some small. The traps are jagged, not to mention wild ducks, if a human foot steps on them, the skin will be ripped apart immediately, which is very dangerous.

Putting away all the traps, the three of them continued to explore other places, and found more hunting tools, including fish and shrimp cages, transparent wire mesh, and several wild ducks had already fallen into them, and they rescued them all. .

When passing through the bamboo forest at the junction of Xiaolu Mountain and Banlu Mountain, they ran into two sneaky young men. As soon as they saw Yunli and the others, they immediately ran to the depths of the forest. Shen Biao and Xu Lin were going to chase them , but was stopped by Yunli, and the three continued to investigate.

"Xiao Li, why don't you let us catch those two boys, they must be the ones who poached the wild ducks, otherwise they wouldn't run away with a guilty conscience, maybe from their mouths, we can find out more culprits. "Xu Lin asked puzzled.

Shen Biao was also a little unwilling: "That's right, the three of us are afraid that if I catch those two brats, I will definitely make them look good. When raising fish ponds, we often encountered such If you don’t teach them a lesson about stealing chickens and fish, they will never have a stable life in the future.”

Both of them were puzzled by Yunli's decision, but since he said that he would not pursue them, they had no choice but to hold back. Yunli knew that they were unwilling, so he expressed his concerns: "Looking at the hunting tools. , There are several groups of people who came to poach wild ducks, it doesn’t seem like a gang committed crimes, they should all be farmers around the mountain, if they are all arrested in the police station, the relationship will definitely be stiff, which is not conducive to the future development of the manor.”

Yun Li's thoughtful consideration convinced the two of them. Fortunately, he did not act impulsively and ruin the development plan of the manor. After all, once the relationship is froze, it will be difficult to mend it. Neighborhood relations must be improved.This time is different from the matter of the Fortune Hotel, and the nature of the matter is different from that of Dongyuan Logistics Company. No matter how hard the fist is, it cannot hit the surrounding residents, even though they offended him this time.

It didn't take long before they found a new habitat for wild ducks. It was in the bamboo forest at the junction of Xiaolu Mountain and Spotted Deer Mountain, not far from the fruit forest they planted in the wetland last time. It has not been discovered by poachers, and no capture tools have been found nearby, and the wild ducks seem to be quite adapted to the environment here.

Yunli sensed it with electromagnetic force. There are probably more than 100 wild ducks in this area, and there should be more in other places. The situation is as expected. But they were frightened and scattered, and it was not easy to gather them together again.
