When there is no trouble around, the cub is the biggest trouble.

From Laohuao to Linjiacun, the place where everyone eats breakfast in the morning is called the giant stone stall, and the place where red nan is dug for swimming is called the stone pot.

Of course, this is just what everyone in Linjiacun called it.

It lay on the highest rock of the boulder stand, took a leisurely nap for a while, felt the cub's footsteps running away, opened its eyes and roared at the cub.

The cub clawed a bit, and was yelled at by his mother again. He retracted his paws and returned to his mother. When the mother's huge paws came down, he fell to the ground skillfully.

"Ow~"

The four paws hugged the mother's big paw together, humming and acting like a baby, and by the way, glared at the brother who was suppressed by the mother's other paw. The mother must have discovered the brother's footsteps too loudly.

With no threat to its life, it looked down at the two cubs that it held on its paws, and let out a low growl, "Roar!"

Be safe!

It took a long time to walk such a short distance. Although part of the reason was that I wanted to inspect the future territory, the biggest reason was my two cubs.

Two, at first they held them together, but later their mouths became sour, so they held one and the other followed by themselves, and changed at about the same time.

It was nothing at first, but the two suddenly didn't cooperate, and the one following on the ground always whined and refused to leave, and it had to hold it in its mouth to be safe.

Then it beat up the two cubs and found a place to rest.

It yawned, opened and closed its huge tiger mouth, and turned to lick the two cubs who were whining and quarreling with each other.

After licking them up, they got up and stretched, picked up the two cubs and continued on their way.

As soon as it set off, Team Xie and Team Zhou rushed to a remote valley with a large number of people.

The herbal picker who reported the case had already finished taking notes under the arrangement of the police who arrived first.

Team Xie and Team Zhou came to the scene and led people to search around.

Without destroying the scene, Team Zhou and Team Xie locked the direction where the poachers entered the valley, and began to deduce the traces of the group's actions.

Following the traces to the entrance of the valley, Lao Cao looked at the traces on the ground and chose a direction opposite to the creek, "It came from this side."

Team Xie also agreed, "A preliminary on-site investigation revealed that it should be a poacher."

Team Zhou squatted down and looked at the huge animal footprints on the ground, "This plum blossom-shaped footprint, a big cat?"

Holding a tablet in his hand, Xiao Zheng received news from colleagues in the institute at any time, and followed his master to record the new discoveries of the two captains.

Team Xie is much older than Team Zhou. One has rich experience, the other has been systematically studied and has outstanding abilities. The two quickly figured out the route of the poachers chasing their prey into the valley.

Team Xie touched the subtle traces on the tree trunk, "This group of people is very sophisticated."

Team Zhou was squatting on the ground to pick up a certain cigarette butt, "There are also used ones, Xiao Wu, in bags."

"Here we come!" Xiao Wu put on gloves, took out a new bag, carefully put the cigarette butts in, labeled it and put it in the box that he carried with him.

"Thank you team!"

Team Zhou, Team Xie and others turned their heads together. They were the apprentices of the forensic doctor who followed, wearing masks and fully armed.

Team Xie's subordinates ran over and said, "The traces beside the corpse are wrong, the master asked me to come over and tell you to go and have a look."

Zhou Dui stood up, exchanged a glance with Xie Dui, and turned to tell Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, take the man down here and find out how he came in."

Team Xie looked up at the trees above his head. Compared with the trees around Laohuao in Linjia Village, the trees here were twice as tall, and the diameter was about the size of an adult man's arms.

He remembered that next door to Linjia Village was Luojia Village, and after that there was a stretch of virgin forest. After driving for three hours along the national road around the river, there would be a fork in the road, and you would be able to reach Xiaoxian Village where the reporter was.

These three villages are currently the most remote villages in their township, and other small villages in the mountains have basically been relocated.

There are many people in Xiaoxian Village, and all of them are stubborn and unwilling to leave their hometown.

The villagers live by collecting herbs from the mountains. When the market is good, they can also make some money. Coupled with the crops in the field, they can live well.

Xiaoxian Village is also a sturdy village. Captain Xie remembered that it was in this village that he received a cannon from a certain dynasty.

When the old man in the village pulled him out, Dui Xie, who was still not bald at the time, was stunned. Fortunately, his subordinates didn't notice him with a stern face.

Seeing Dui Xie's pensive look, Dui Zhou asked casually as a year-end friend, and then listened to Dui Xie, who was not a few years younger than his father, talk about the tough history of Xiaoxian Village.

The figure of Lin Jiacun could not help appearing in Team Zhou's mind, "So tough?"

"No." Captain Xie said hello to the familiar boy Tang Shu, "Old Wen."

Seeing Captain Xie, Old Wen smiled on his dark face, "Captain Xie, you are here."

Team Xie stepped forward and took Old Wen's hand to the scene, and told the people behind him, "Follow Xiao Wen and the others to see what's going on over the creek."

"Yes!"

Old Wen told his nephew, Xiao Wen, "Don't be afraid, go."

Xiao Wen smiled on the same dark face, nodded, "Oh!"

Seeing Old Wen De's eyes glance at Team Zhou, Team Xie introduced, "This is Team Zhou, from the city's criminal investigation team."

Old Wen looked at Team Zhou with reverence in his eyes, "Captain Zhou is really young and promising."

Seeing that he was only in his thirties, he was already the vice captain, and Old Wen gave him a thumbs up in his heart.

Seeing that Lao Wen was more friendly to Xie Dui, Zhou Dui quietly shut up and listened to Xie Dui's casual and rigorous questioning of Lao Wen.

Listening to the question in his ear, Team Zhou felt that he seemed to have learned a lot, so he turned around and took the tablet from Xiao Zheng's hand, opened a blank file, and recorded while listening.

Old Wen re-described why they went up the mountain and the situation of going up the mountain, and finally pointed to the location of the first corpse.

"There was blood all over the floor, there was a big gash on the neck, the blood was congealed, and I knew that I was out of breath at a glance. I saw a few lying down, wondering if I could find one that was alive, so I held up my phone and checked the other few. indivual."

Dui Xie and Dui Zhou looked at each other. Obviously, no one was alive. They took the local police and handed over the mobile phone. It was the first-person video of Lao Wen after copying.

Old Wen's heart is still beating when he recalls it now, he really has never seen such a scene.

"I was so frightened at the time that I didn't dare to let them approach. I took out my mobile phone to record the video, and looked forward cautiously. I saw guns | daggers and various equipment that I couldn't understand. I didn’t dare to get too close to the people on the ground.”

Team Xie asked a few more questions, and then gently patted Old Wen on the shoulder, "I understand the situation, please excuse me."

Old Wen smiled honestly, "Where is it, then I..."

He was still worried about his nephew and wanted to follow him to have a look.

"Go." Team Xie said in a gentle tone, and asked someone to take Old Wen over.

When the people walked away, Team Zhou sent the document on the tablet to his mobile phone, and when he handed the tablet to Xiao Zheng, he seemed to have seen the news from the people in the office.

"Look, is there any news about the Lin Family Village?"

Xiao Zheng clicked on it, and it really was, "Yes, Guazi said that he got the clue from the neighboring township, and it needs to be further confirmed."

Team Zhou touched his chin, "Tell Guazi to hurry up and report any news as soon as possible."

Xiao Zheng: "Yes!"

Lao Cao and Team Xie have already stood beside the forensic doctors to ask about the specific situation.

If Lan Yu was there, he would have recognized the doctor who took the lead in the Daqing incident.

"How's the situation?" Captain Xie took the documents and flipped through them, Team Zhou stood aside and watched together, and Lao Cao went to the scene.

"Except for one person who was hit by an anesthesia needle, the others were taken away by the beast." The doctor looked cold when he put on his glasses.

Team Zhou has gotten used to it, frowning, "What about the struggle?"

"Slightly struggling. After identifying the traces on the scene, it was confirmed that they were not covered up or removed artificially. At present, our guess is that the eight people stood in place one by one, waiting for the beast to pounce on them before starting to struggle."

Team Xie: "...that's unreasonable."

Team Zhou was stunned for a moment, then continued to flip through, "What about the time of death?"

The doctor's voice was cold, "According to the information collected so far, it is preliminarily speculated that the death incident was around [-] am to [-] am last night. The specifics need to be taken back for further confirmation."

Lao Cao also came back, looking at Team Zhou, "I want to see the information."

Team Zhou glanced up at Lao Cao, saw that his expression was not right, and asked directly, "What did you find?"

After finishing speaking, he handed the information to Lao Cao, who looked at it and checked it with the scene in his memory, lowered his head and said, "It's reasonable, but there are some things that don't match."

The doctor pushed the glasses and led everyone to the place where it had been hiding before, "There are also bloodstains here, both animal and human."

"And I also found an anesthetic needle with animal blood on it." The doctor pushed down the slightly slipped glasses with his wrist, "The animal blood is mainly concentrated inside, and the dripping human blood is on the outside. Animal hair has been brought back for testing."

"The footprints of the beast have also been photographed and sent to zoology experts for identification."

Team Zhou rubbed his chin and carefully observed the two sets of bloodstains on the ground, "Why don't you step in?"

Team Xie speculated: "Maybe because it is not necessary, how many kinds of animal footprints are there?"

Doctor: "Currently one."

Team Xie and Team Zhou squatted down to look carefully at the bloodstains marked on the ground. They seemed to see a huge beast standing there for a while, then turned and walked out of the valley.

They followed the traces to replay its trajectory, all the way to the bank of the stream where Xiao Wen discovered the anomaly, because people from Xiaoxian Village left a lot of traces here because they picked golden clematis.

However, after investigation, the former route of the beast was found.

Xie Dui and Zhou Dui stood side by side, looking at the creek lost in thought, "Go down this side, and then go ashore from the other side."

This is a bath?

"Team Zhou!" Xiao Wu came back panting with his men, "We found the car, and it's hidden in Daxian Village, which has been relocated."

Team Zhou didn't know much about Daxian Village, but Team Xie knew it well and frowned, "Daxian Village belongs to the neighboring township."

Team Zhou also frowned. Recently, Neighborhood's appearance rate is a bit high.

Some time ago, the traffickers wanted to escape from Linjiacun to the next township. The scammers who were caught yesterday entered the mountain forest from the next township. Now they are suspected to be the dead of poachers. Their car was parked in an abandoned village in the next township. in the village.

Captain Xie obviously thought of this too, and the two looked at each other.

Xiao Zheng ran over with the tablet in his hand, "Guazi said that the next village seems to have caught a suspect who is suspected of stealing other people's information, and the basic information of Linjia Village seems to have been leaked from this person."

Another town next door?

Team Xie and Team Zhou looked at each other, and with their keen intuition, they confirmed that there was something big going on here!

Team Xie frowned and said, "Does the person who placed the order have any clues?"

Xiao Zheng asked the other side, shaking his head for a while, "There is no clue about this yet."

Team Zhou instinctively said, "Tell Guazi that the person who placed the order must be found first."

Xiao Zheng bowed his head to deliver Team Zhou's order, "Yes!"

Team Xie and Team Zhou split into two groups.

Team Xie took the doctor and Lao Cao back first, Team Zhou took Xiao Zheng and Xiao Wu to Daxian Village, and handed over to the next village by the way.

Old Wen Wen and Xiao Wen have been arranged to go back first, and the picked golden clematis is temporarily kept, to see if they can find more clues.

Before leaving, Xiao Wen's eyes showed reluctance.

Old Wen patted his nephew's shoulder as a comfort, "This is a good thing!"

Xiao Wen withdrew his gaze and nodded, "Yeah!"

"School will start soon, and there will be a lot of expenses at that time. I may not be able to go up the mountain recently. I need to find some way to make money." Old Wen was thinking about how to find a job while leading the people.

Brother-in-law Xiao Wen is a carpenter. Hearing this, he suddenly remembered the message Mr. Zhong sent him two days ago.

"Uncle, Lin Family Village seems to be repairing houses recently and recruiting small workers!"

"Xiao Gong is also fine, can the money be paid now?" Uncle Tang wondered for a while, it's okay, Xiao Gong is not tired from work and can take care of the family, and Lin's Village is not far away.

"Now, it is said that Lan Yu, who graduated from the village university and returned to his hometown to start a business, wants to build a house. I heard that he graduated from the agricultural university, and he has researched very good pasture seeds and rice seeds." The brother-in-law repeated under the teacher of Zhong Lao Lan Yu in the master's mouth.

"This time, my master took over Lan Yu's job. I want to build a two-story old-fashioned wooden building as a seed store. I need some carpenters to divide it into small workers."

When Lao Wen heard the name Lan Yu, he thought of Lan Qiao. He turned on his phone and looked at the animal footprints in the photos he took.

The brother-in-law was still talking endlessly about Lan Yu's great achievements during this period, "Linjia Village has signed a contract with the big boss, and now every household is planting spirit beast grass. It is said that when the time comes, the village will buy it collectively, and the price will be very good."

"It would be great if our village could grow it too." Xiao Wen showed envy when he heard this.

Old Wen was very calm, shaking his head and said: "Our village can't do it. Linjiacun is different from our village. Linjiacun is close to a small river and has a lot of arable land. Moreover, there are many short mountains in the village. It is very convenient to cultivate terraced fields. In addition, the water source is abundant. Don't worry about the lack of water for rice."

"Our village is full of old forests, and there is little arable land. It is not good to grow spirit beast grass. It may not grow as fast as weeds. Not to mention tiring, it may not be harvested."

"It's also... the situation in our village is different from that in Linjiacun." Xiao Wen obviously thought of the situation in the village, and thought that he would not be able to go up the mountain for a long time, so he fell silent a lot.

The brother-in-law suddenly thought of something, "Lan Yu seems to have built a greenhouse and is experimenting with new rice seeds. If the purchase price is acceptable, we can plant them too!"

Lao Wen nodded, and listened to the words, thinking about when he would bring the bacon to Lin Jianmo for a good drink.

The village chief Lin Jianmo, who was naughty by Old Wen, was at Lan Yu's house, looking at the puppet that had been carved and assembled and hadn't shown his face yet, and was amazed.

"Lan Yu, are you almost done!"

This time, Lan Yu sculpted a 70cm high puppet. The limbs were detailed and the facial features were sculpted, but the face hadn't been painted yet.

After carving, the whole body of the puppet needs to be washed with loess slurry mixed with water glue, and repeated more than ten times until the skin color meets the requirements. After natural air drying, it is polished and polished with special fish skin, and then finely polished with a bamboo knife.

After polishing off the grain of the wood itself with a bamboo knife, use high-quality gouache and yellow mud to make a primer. It takes more than ten times to make the primer.

After the primer is air-dried, the traditional painting pigments are applied with colored brushes when painting. The main raw materials for painting are gold, silver, cinnabar, silver vermilion, gamboge, zinc powder, Buddha blue, ink and other mineral materials. Mainly watercolor pens and various types of Langhao brushes.

For example, the puppet Qin You is currently using has different patterns on the limbs except for the face. When putting on the face, it needs to be colored step by step according to the order of colors until the final result is satisfactory.

After applying the color, the color of the puppet has the effect of lasting for a hundred years. The next step is to cover the puppet with wax, which can make the surface of the puppet shiny.

The last step is to plant beards, which are implanted into the head and face of the puppet with real hair. Some puppets are set to have beards, which also need to be implanted. The eyebrows and eyelashes are also operated in the same way.After the beard planting is completed, it is necessary to comb the puppet's hair in a bun. Different people have different hair bun options.

After all these are done, the puppet is more than half completed, and then it is to customize clothes, accessories, weapons and other tools for the puppet.

These things are also do-it-yourself, a qualified puppet master is a master in many aspects in a sense!

Lan Yu looked at the puppet in her hand that hadn't touched her face, then looked down at her hair, well, she found a reason to cut her hair.

"Later, we still need to make a base coat, wax and beard." Lan Yu shook her head, "I hope I can finish one in a month."

The village chief was full of confidence in Lan Yu, "You can definitely do it."

Lan Yu put the puppet aside, picked up the sawdust on the ground, and swept out several wooden balls from it.

The village chief took a broom to help, "Hu Wei's grandfather will arrive on the 29th, and Guan Tong will move on the 30th. Everyone must help. On the 31st, the first batch of spirit beast grass has matured, and everyone has to be busy harvesting. Purchase of animal grass."

"Many people don't have time tomorrow, so they think about going to the zoo after school starts."

Lan Yu picked up the wooden ball, thinking that it was carved by herself, so it could be regarded as a souvenir, "It's better to go before school starts."

"Take the children to play before school starts. It won't be so easy after school starts." The village head made a decision, "Yes, the rice has to be harvested in mid-October, and then the vegetables have to be planted, and the spirit beast grass is harvested every ten days." , rushing to make a fortune before revealing, and you can’t do without people.”

The two quickly cleaned up. Lan Yu boiled water to make tea, and took out the wild tea she picked last year.

The village chief was sending a message in the group. He glanced at the teapot, and his heart was full of joy. He looked at Qin You and said, "Is it necessary to dig the yellow mud next to Laohuao? I remember that Mr. Li once said However, the loess on the Laohuao side is fine and easy to color.”

Lan Yu thought of the three tigers, mother and child, whom she had placed in Laohuao, and thought about how to let them appear legally, "There is no rush for the yellow mud. I will come together after I have finished carving the plain embryos. It will be troublesome in batches."

Village head: "That's right, you can save money by yourself. By the way, I still have a set of Langhao pens at home. I will bring them to you later. You should use them."

Lan Yu smiled and rejected the village chief's kindness, poured a cup of tea and brought it over, "Your set is for calligraphy, and the puppet's face is drawn and colored in a small size."

"And my father left me three sets of wolf hair brushes."

Seeing that the village head didn't believe it, Lan Yu took out a set of Langhao pens and showed the village head.

The presbyopic village chief looked at the small pen with glasses, and suddenly remembered something, and his face was full of worry, "Weasels are rare now, where can we catch them?"

Lan Yu smiled, "Now there are weasels in captivity, just buy some wolf hairs and come back and make pens yourself."

The village chief took out his mobile phone and searched on Taobao, and after a while, numerous merchants popped up, so he nodded in satisfaction, "That's fine."

On the opposite side of Mao Mao Mountain, Que Ganhua was supervising the work with his father holding spirit beast grass juice. After a while, he saw Lan Yu and the village chief coming down with iced mineral water.

They are very familiar with each other, and they squatted under the tree together to supervise the work after exchanging greetings.

The wall in front of Meiyuan Mountain and the fence of the small river have been built.

Que Yanshu didn't come for a while, looked at the wall and asked, "Would you like to plant some honeysuckle on it, and when it blooms, you can pick some to make tea."

Lan Yu nodded, "I have already bought the seeds, and the courier will arrive tomorrow."

Que Yanshu pondered over the fence at the small river again, "Don't you plant anything on the fence behind?"

Lan Yu shook her head, "I don't plant them in the back, it's covered with vines, if not taken care of, it's easy for snakes, insects, rats and ants to gather."

Because the road at the back of the mountain is next to the Xiaojiang River, Lan Yu didn't dare to raise the fence too high, not to mention planting things, even if vines grew in the future, they had to be cleaned up.

The fence at the small river is not high, only [-] centimeters. A South China tiger with a shoulder height of one meter leisurely came to the bank of the river with two cubs who refused to walk on their own.

Taking two steps back, he jumped directly into the river with a run-up, and then swam to the opposite bank.

Because the place where Meiyuan Mountain meets Xiaojiang River is a steep rock wall, it swam to the side for a while before finding a place to go ashore.

After landing, he shook the water, licked the water off the little tiger cubs, then picked up the two cubs again and walked towards the old house.

It's hungry and it smells food.

In the shed halfway up the mountain, the black pig, which weighed more than ten catties when it was brought in, only weighed more than 60 catties after being raised for almost a month and a half, was leisurely eating the spirit beast grass that Lan Yu fed before going down the mountain, and didn't notice a thing at all. A big tattooed cat came straight to him with two cubs.

Waiting for the tattooed big cat to throw the cubs outside, he jumped into the pigsty, chose the fattest one, jumped out of the pigsty, and took the two cubs to find a high place in front of Lan Yu's old house. The location to start enjoying the food.

"Ow!"

When the familiar screams of the pigs sounded, not only Lan Yu heard them, but also the village head, Que Yanshu and his son.

"What's going on?" The village chief jumped up first, turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, and squinted his eyes to see the scene of Meiyuan Mountain.

Lan Yu listened carefully, and when her face changed, she ran away!

The village head stretched out his hand to grab Lan Yu, "Don't worry, ask more people to go and have a look together!"

Without stopping, Lan Yu had already run to the mountain.

The village chief stomped his feet, followed and called for someone, "Lin Sheng, come to Meiyuan Mountain and call for more people."

Not long after what happened to Wang Guifu!

Yesterday he asked Dui Xie, Wang Guifu's parents were very determined, they resisted the pressure of the elderly at home and really sent him to a juvenile detention center.

Whoever it is this time!Catch him and beat him up!

Que Ganhua pulled the assistant aside, "Help look after my dad."

If it was just a pig, Lan Yu didn't have to run so fast, mainly because he heard the childish cries of the little tiger cub.

So familiar, I just masturbated yesterday!

When Lan Yu stepped on the last step, she saw the familiar tattooed big cat eating gracefully on the high place, and the two cubs circled around the familiar black pig. They wanted to taste it, but their mother pushed it away with her paws. .

Go away, I'm hungry!

When it saw Lan Yu, it said "Hello!", then pushed the cub towards Lan Yu with its paws, bowed its head and continued to eat.

A posture of two cubs for one pig!

The little tiger cub still couldn't bite the raw meat on his own, and after licking it for a long time, he didn't eat any meat. When he saw Lan Yu, he ran towards Lan Yu.

What can Lan Yu do, he can only squat down and hold the two together in his arms, and then reach out to touch the white belly!

Compared with other tigers, the South China tiger has more milk|white hair on the chest and abdomen, which has a better visual effect and feels better to the touch.

Taking advantage of the fact that the village chief hasn't arrived yet, Lan Yu hastily confronted the South China Tiger with his lines.

"When a human comes, you shout, but don't move, no matter who comes, just don't move, as if you are depending on me!"

The South China Tiger tilted his head and gave Lan Yu a look: Human, you play a lot, no matter if I understand!

The sixty catties little black pig produced thirty catties of meat. When it was full, it licked its lips, then roared softly at Lan Yu, then closed its eyes and went to sleep.

Human, I'm asleep, I'll leave the cub to you!

Lan Yu looked down at the little tiger cub whimpering and sleeping in her arms, and then turned her head to look at Ah Hu and Qin You on the threshold.

Looking back, the village head and others who caught up behind him.

He seriously thought about who to call in this situation? !
