Chapter 1726

The mountain patrol team members sat on the sofa with some restraint. Dean Zhang was so angry he was gasping for air, and Bai Ju was patting Dean Zhang's back to soothe her.

The kitchen outside was filled with fragrance, and Wang Yan was busy cooking.

Bai Shao leaned in and asked in a low voice: "Is it really okay?"

"Didn't I say? He'll be out after being locked up for a week and paying a fine."

"I mean, was Bai Ji injured? I heard you guys killed over a dozen people on this trip; it was so tragic!"

That's how small county towns are; anything spreads like the wind. It hadn't even been a day, and it had become "killed over a dozen people," doubling the death toll.

Wang Yan shook his head: "You're just worried sick. Even if Bai Ji had just broken the skin, he would have had to go to the hospital for a tetanus shot. You would have known long ago."

"Is it really okay?"

"Really, it is."

Bai Shao stroked her chest: "You say this Bai Ji is really not worry-free, running off to Bolamula to skin animals without a word. When he comes back, I have to talk to him. No, I have to give him a good beating to make him learn his lesson."

"No need."

"Why no need?" Bai Shao said angrily, "Look at how angry you made my mom; she's determined to beat him half to death."

"If she really let you beat him, would you be able to bring yourself to do it?"

Wang Yan glanced at her and said, "Besides, Bai Ji isn't someone with much courage. This time he experienced bullets flying over his head and watched people beside him get beaten to death with his own eyes.

At the same time, to persuade him to turn back, I had him watch when we burned the bodies and explained the changes in the body at different stages of burning. I'm afraid he won't want to go to the no-man's land ever again in his life."

Bai Shao thought of the appearance of the meat after burning, shook her head in disgust, and asked curiously: "Did you really kill over a dozen people?"

"No. Seven were killed on the spot, and another one died on the way back. This one was hit in the torso by a bullet, but it wasn't immediately fatal. He lost a lot of blood and was barely hanging on. When we got back, he had a high fever and went into shock, didn't pull through, and died. Oh my, you didn't see it; at that time, the flesh of the wound was turned out, the person..."

Bai Shao glared at Wang Yan fiercely, then quickly ran into the room to comfort her mother. If she kept listening to Wang Yan, she wouldn't be able to eat or sleep.

When Wang Yan finished cooking and everyone sat down to eat, the atmosphere was clearly very heavy.

In fact, everyone felt a bit embarrassed to eat here, but Bai Ju insisted, and everyone felt that what they did was right and not a big problem, so they came over with thick skin.

Seeing everyone's restrained appearance, Dean Zhang sighed and said: "You don't need to be embarrassed. I'm not unhappy because of you. It's just that this child Bai Ji is disappointing and doesn't make people worry-free.

You guys patrolling the mountains to protect animals and crack down on poachers is completely correct. I fully understand and fully support it. I am grateful that you were able to bring Bai Ji back safely."

He Qingyuan said: "Don't say that, Dean Zhang, this is what we should do. It's just that our mountain patrol team isn't well-regarded in the county; otherwise, let alone detention, Bai Ji wouldn't even have to pay a fine."

Dean Zhang knocked her chopsticks unhappily, and Wang Yan immediately spoke up: "Old He! What are you saying! Our mountain patrol team is well-regarded, but this back door cannot be opened. We must let Bai Ji fully absorb the experience and lessons so that he can grow, and in the future, he can be honest and not easily deceived."

"You child, why are you stealing my lines?" Dean Zhang laughed and scolded, "You guys just eat with peace of mind and stay here with peace of mind. Zha Cuo, tell me about the process of going into the mountains this time, let me broaden my horizons too."

Once things are said, it doesn't necessarily make people feel relaxed. But Dean Zhang is the "Khandroma" recognized by the people of Maji County, so since Dean Zhang said she didn't blame them, the members of the mountain patrol team also felt she didn't blame them.

Zha Cuo was telling funny things with a serious face. His Mandarin wasn't smooth, and he had a thick Qinghai-Tibet accent, but it was still very interesting to listen to him recount the process.

Sangba and the others then playfully snatched the words from Zha Cuo, and after finding mistakes and omissions for a while, the atmosphere became lively.

By the next day, the mountain patrol team members went to take a bath together and did some shopping. Wang Yan stayed behind to wash photos for a day and chatted with Xiao Yan, and didn't return to the station until the third day...

Dorje also returned on this day.

Everyone was basking in the sun in the courtyard, playing cards, playing chess, etc., noisy and full of laughter.

It was at this time that Dorje jumped off the car, holding a bag in his hand, walked in very boldly, put the money on the table, and covered the cards.

"Payday!"

He said it with great spirit. Sure enough, money is a man's courage.

The always steady Dorje began to joke with everyone.

Wang Yan didn't receive a salary; his salary was from the County Committee, and he was considered to be sent to Dorje's Economic Development Company.

After all, he was inserted by Lin Peisheng under Dorje to look for mines. If the company paid Wang Yan, how would Lin Peisheng manage him?

But from another perspective, this could also be considered Lin Peisheng's protection of Wang Yan. After all, if Dorje paid Wang Yan, he really wouldn't be able to pay it. But the County Committee definitely wouldn't be short of Wang Yan's little salary. Even if Lin Peisheng didn't take a salary himself, he would have to pay Wang Yan. Because Wang Yan is a talent.

Wang Yan could insist on not being able to hold on and leave Maji County, but it couldn't be that the organization here didn't care enough, forcing Wang Yan to leave. The gap between these two is too big.

So Wang Yan didn't participate in their excitement. He gave Dorje a cigarette and looked at the half-grown boy in ethnic clothing following Dorje. He was thin, dark, had high-plateau red on his face, and his eyes had a bit of shyness at seeing a stranger.

"Is this your son?"

"His name is Zhaxi," Dorje nodded, "This is the college student I told you about. You call... like Bai Ji, call him Brother Yan."

"Hello, Brother Yan."

"Hello to you too."

Zhaxi looked up at Dorje, and Dorje patted his head in encouragement.

Then Zhaxi asked: "Brother Yan, I want to ask you a question. Why did you give up your wealthy life outside and come to us?"

Wang Yan looked at Dorje with a smile: "It seems the father-son relationship wasn't harmonious before."

"Where is it not harmonious? It's just that I've spent too little time with him." Dorje touched Zhaxi's head again.

"Then why didn't you get along well with him when you went home before?" Wang Yan patted Dorje on the shoulder, "It's because you had some extra money this time, which solved certain problems, and the burden on you became lighter, so you had the mind to spend time with Zhaxi. Dorje, smile more, don't always look so worried."

Zhaxi was a bit unhappy: "You haven't answered my question yet."

"The reason I came to Maji County is that I want everyone to live a good life and not have to envy the good life outside anymore. Why do you think those people in Bolamula poach and steal? It's all for money. When everyone lives a good life, there will be fewer people taking risks to do bad things, and Bolamula will be peaceful."

"But Dad hasn't made everyone richer."

"There are so many officials in the government, it's not just your dad doing things. And look at all that money, didn't your dad earn it back?"

"Luckily he earned money, Mom said Dad was going to sell caterpillar fungus."

"Zhaxi, don't talk nonsense, child!" Dorje quickly stopped him.

Wang Yan said with a straight face: "Comrade Dorje, you're wrong here. Zhaxi isn't small anymore, he's sensible, knows how to care for his mom and his family. The organization can certainly understand your desire to do your job well. But you want to subsidize it by selling your own family's things; how much can you subsidize?

County Magistrate Lin said that last year the county's income was 2 million and expenditure was 10 million. Don't you want to think of a way to fill that 8 million gap?"

"That's different! Besides, are you the leader, or am I the leader?" Dorje glared.

"Truth is the leader! Doing good deeds is understandable, but the situation in Maji County is far from the point where you need to destroy your family to help the country. Comrade Dorje, work still requires methods. Since you're so generous, remember to help me, this outsider talent, next time. My output is high."

Dorje pondered the meaning of "destroying family to help the country," and snorted: "Wang Yan, you're just arguing sophistry, it's not the same thing at all."

"It's all the same thing," Wang Yan turned and said, "Zhaxi doesn't understand the work you do. Next time we go into the mountains, we can take him along to see. He can adapt to the high altitude, and there are no other risks. Then he will understand you."

Zhaxi blinked his big eyes, longing.

"Nonsense. Zhaxi, don't listen to him, Bolamula is very dangerous." Dorje quickly pulled Zhaxi away, not letting Wang Yan fool the child anymore, especially fooling him like this.

Wang Yan laughed: "Dorje, Zhaxi has grown up, he has his own ideas. Perhaps you should think about whether you listened to your dad when you were Zhaxi's age."

Dorje walked faster, taking Zhaxi to the side, not listening to Wang Yan.

Bai Ju, who was sweeping the floor with a broom and watching everyone's excitement, stopped and came over.

"Take me into the mountains?"

"I'm not the leader, it's useless for me to say anything, you still have to find Dorje."

"He listens to you when you talk, you help me talk to him." Bai Ju's request sounded like an order; she was just that straightforward.

"The stronghold here is just as important," Wang Yan said, "Now there are..."

"There are still hundreds of skins, and poachers might take risks to come and grab the skins in the county." Bai Ju was very irritable, "You've said this so many times, I'm tired of hearing it."

"How many times? I've only been here for a month, and we've only been together for ten days or so, how many times could I have said it?"

Wang Yan shook his head with amusement, "And the situation recently is really quite tight."

"You say!"

"We've already caught two groups of people, and the first group even captured the businessman from Tianduo City, which pulled out a smuggling gang. This matter is not small anywhere. Those who dare to poach in Bolamula, do you think they wouldn't know about this news?

This time it's even more so; the people we caught are more ruthless and powerful than the last group, and the forces pulled out behind them certainly won't be small. Do you think they won't take action? And what better way is there than to kill us directly? Do you know that someone has offered a reward of over a million to take Dorje's life?"

Bai Ju reacted: "No! If you say it like that, I should go to Bolamula with you even more. One more person means one more strength, and I was first in shooting at the police academy, I'm definitely no worse than you."

"You don't even think about what if they decide to come here to kill and establish their authority?" Wang Yan waved his hand to interrupt her, "I'm not stopping you, I'm just telling you about the current situation. If you want to go into the mountains, you should go talk to Dorje yourself."

"You still won't help after all that, then why are you wasting your breath? Sweep the floor!" Bai Ju glared at Wang Yan, slapped the big broom into Wang Yan's hand, and then went to find Dorje.

The result, of course, was that she wasn't allowed by Dorje, and she went to the side again, unhappy, brewing plans to leave here.

It's also Wang Yan's fault.

He directly captured Li Yongqiang here, reducing the incident where Bai Ju and Dong Zhiba were captured by Li Yongqiang, Dong Zhiba was beaten to death, and Bai Ju was injured.

Bai Ju was recognized at that time, and she also quarreled with Dean Zhang at home, which was why she was allowed by Dorje to follow the mountain patrol.

Now, many of those necessary procedures are still missing.

But Wang Yan is a reasonable person, so he still spoke for Bai Ju: "Dorje, I think if Bai Ju wants to go, let her go. As long as she can withstand the high altitude, withstand the inconvenience, and not run around when a real fight starts, then it's no big deal."

Dorje said with a straight face: "What are you thinking? First you let Zhaxi go, then you let Bai Ju go to Bolamula. You know how it is in there; can they adapt? If there's a problem, it can't be handled in time, what will happen then?

Wang Yan, you, this college student, usually consider things very thoroughly, why are you so childish about this matter? Is it because you killed eight people and feel..."

"Where are you going with this, Dorje." Wang Yan waved his hand repeatedly, "I really think there won't be a problem. Zhaxi is indeed a bit small, but Bai Ju is no problem.

And most importantly, I've been thinking about ways for us to make money recently. Perhaps we can take those who love outdoor activities for a walk in Bolamula, see the snow mountains, see the wild animals, and they are willing to pay a lot of money for this. So we can take Bai Ju to practice in advance."

Dorje laughed, but his attitude really softened: "College student, this idea of yours is just wishful thinking. People do occasionally come here to film, or a few people hike together with backpacks... they call it hiking, just walking with backpacks. But there haven't been many such people for a long time."

"I wrote an article and sent it to the county post office before. They were all sent to big journals and big newspapers. I even submitted it to Beijing."

Dorje laughed even louder: "Then wait until you really make a name for yourself before talking."

"Comrade Dorje, this won't do, you have to have a plan in advance."

Dorje didn't say anything else, and went to the side to continue calculating accounts.

Zhaxi tugged at Wang Yan's sleeve: "Brother Yan, Dad doesn't believe you! I believe you! When the time comes, take me to Bolamula to see, okay?"

"Of course, when the time comes, even if your dad doesn't let you, I'll take you!"

"It's a deal!"

"A man's promise is like a snow mountain, absolutely unshakable!" Zha Cuo said so. While speaking, he walked away silently again.

Wang Yan clapped hands with Zhaxi: "You heard it, like a snow mountain."

Zhaxi nodded heavily, he was very happy. Because Wang Yan didn't treat him as a child, but respected him very much.

On the contrary, Bai Ju not far away was pouting and angry, because Wang Yan's intervention didn't make her wish come true.

Wang Yan spread his hands and shrugged at her, and got a white eye.

So Wang Yan and Zhaxi got together, laughing "hehehe," and from time to time looked at Bai Ju, making Bai Ju even angrier...
