654: Chapter 652 Wang Ping 654: Chapter 652 Wang Ping The experts took the initiative to greet him with a smile, which startled Chen Yang for a mont before he smiled back and responded, “Hello.”
After exchanging greetings, the experts, unreserved, naturally ascended the steps and approached Chen Yang, saying, “Um, young friend Chen Yang, I believe the village head has already told you about our visit, right?”
“Yes, he ntioned going into the mountains, and I agreed,” Chen Yang nodded, indicating that he had agreed to guide them into the mountains.
This response brought a deeper smile to the expert’s face.
“Haha, thank you so much, young friend Chen Yang.
We are all completely ignorant of the local terrain, so we really need your guidance; otherwise, we couldn’t release this tiger,” said the leading expert enthusiastically as he grasped Chen Yang’s hand in gratitude.
Facing such a cordial greeting, Chen Yang felt sowhat uncomfortable but didn’t show it, responding to the experts with equal enthusiasm.
“Please, co in and have a seat.”
Chen Yang warmly invited them.
The experts, having driven from the city, were indeed a bit tired and did not hesitate to enter Chen Yang’s ho.
After seating the experts, Chen Yang poured them so tea.
“Um…
thank you very much, young friend Chen Yang,” the experts thanked him again after drinking the tea.
Chen Yang smiled and waved his hands, signaling that there was no need for such formalities.
After taking a break, the experts promptly began to inquire with Chen Yang about the general ecological environnt of the mountains behind the village.
Chen Yang answered all their questions.
He shared everything he knew about the situation with the experts.
After listening to Chen Yang’s explanations, four or five experts nodded repeatedly,
“Oh, I see, no wonder tigers live in these mountains, the deep parts of the mountains still maintain their pristine state,” nodded one expert.
“Yes, I’ve been in a few tis and encountered many large animals, like wild boars, deer, wolves, and such,” Chen Yang also nodded.
The experts believed what Chen Yang said, and after understanding the situation, they didn’t express any doubts.
However, a young, robust man behind the experts, who seed like a police officer, was sowhat skeptical,
“With so many animals in the mountains, how can you understand the situation inside so well?
Do you often go into the mountains?” he questioned.
The man continued to inquire.
Chen Yang caught his gaze and nodded, “Yes, I often go into the mountains.”
“What do you do in the mountains?
With so many wild animals, aren’t you afraid of an accident occurring?” the man continued to question with suspicion.
However, his tone was a bit odd this ti, as if he were interrogating a criminal.
This made Chen Yang sowhat displeased, but he didn’t show it directly and still answered, “As you can see, I study dicine, so I often go into the mountains for herbs and such.
That makes sense, right?”
“Um…”
“That’s enough, Wang Ping,” the man nad Wang Ping wanted to continue questioning, but was scolded by the lead expert and thus did not speak further.
After scolding Wang Ping, the expert turned back to Chen Yang with a smile and apologized, “I’m sorry, young friend Chen Yang.
Wang Ping is with our Wildlife Bureau and usually deals with wildlife traffickers, so it’s just a professional habit.”
Chen Yang was quite irritated internally, but after receiving the expert’s apology, he no longer harbored any hard feelings.
“No problem.”
He waved his hand as if it were nothing and then rested for a while, wanting to set off early since entering the mountain would take so ti, especially with a large tiger in tow.
To ensure they could get out of the mountains before dark, they needed to leave early.
The experts also agreed, the earlier they set out, the earlier they would finish.
After agreeing on a departure, they didn’t dawdle, but quickly got up to prepare.
The expert and the strong man nad Wang Ping stepped outside to unload the tiger still in the truck.
Chen Yang turned and went into the inner room to grab so essentials for entering the mountain.
A hatchet, a water bottle, and so simple healing pills as such.
Having collected these items, Chen Yang shut the family ho’s door and ca outside.
At that mont, Wang Ping was leading seven or eight n who were moving a very large iron cage from the back of the pickup.
Seeing the expressions of the seven or eight n carrying the cage, Chen Yang could roughly estimate.
The iron cage probably weighed at least a thousand kilograms.
After they put the cage on the ground, Chen Yang went over to take a look.
A large tiger lay inside the iron cage.
As Chen Yang looked at it, the tiger’s eyes also happened to be looking back at him.
Human and tiger thus locked eyes through the iron bars for two to three seconds, and Chen Yang surprisingly found that this tiger looked sowhat different from when it had first entered the village.
Back then, it had been formidable, its eyes fierce with everyone as if it was ready to pounce at any disagreent.
Now, its eyes lacked that past ferocity, and there was not even a hint of defensiveness, just a look of gentleness and indifference.
“There really is a big difference between captive and wild, in just a short month, its wildness is almost gone,” he noted.
Chen Yang stood up, looking to the expert, “How do you plan to transport this big fellow into the mountain?”
At that ti, the four or five experts were discussing sothing unknown, but when they heard Chen Yang’s voice, they ca over together.
“Young friend Chen Yang, we plan to carry it in directly,” the expert smiled and said.
“Carry it in?” Chen Yang paused, but then thought it over.
Carrying might seem a cumberso thod, but given the conditions in the mountain, it seed the only way.
There were no roads in the mountain, the only way to proceed was to carry it by brute strength.
“Very few people venture deep into the back mountain; thus, there’s practically no path.
It’s hard enough for people to move, let alone carrying such a big fellow.
Are you sure you can manage?” Chen Yang was sowhat concerned, so he wanted to offer a precaution in advance.
Otherwise, once they went into the mountain and could not carry it halfway, getting stuck would be a big problem.
“You don’t have to worry about that; all of us are very strong.
With a team of four, we can definitely carry it in,” Wang Ping stepped forward and confidently patted his chest.
“Yes, Young Friend Chen Yang, don’t worry.
The n Wang Ping has brought are all strong n from our bureau, there’s certainly no issue,” the expert also had great confidence in these n.
Seeing their confidence, Chen Yang said no more.
“Then that’s settled, let’s set off early to make sure we return before dark.”
“Yes, yes, okay.”
Everyone agreeing there were no issues, Chen Yang didn’t waste any more ti, tucked the hatchet at his back and began to lead the way towards the back mountain.
The experts followed closely behind, still chattering about sothing.
Chen Yang was curious and listened in for a bit, realizing they were discussing the tiger, he didn’t pay further attention.
Minding his own business, he led the way deeper into the mountain.
