Hearing Brother Wolf's words, one of the poachers cried out, "No, it has nothing to do with us. We didn't steal the bird. It was hanging on a treetop and was pushed out of its nest by its brothers. We saved it!"
Li Du said, "Tell that to the police and the judge. See if they believe it."
Brother Wolf said in a low voice, "It is possible. The Andean condor will lay one or two eggs. However, birds of prey have a big appetite. Sometimes, a nest can only support one bird. In this case, if there are two chicks in the nest, they will have to fight for food."
During the fight for food, the strong bird would bully its weaker siblings, snatching food and becoming stronger and stronger, while the other became weaker and weaker.
Eventually, when the strong bird was strong enough, it would push its weaker siblings out of the nest when its parents left the nest.
Looking at the timid appearance of the eagle, it did look like a bully.
Li Du wanted to free it from the cage, but the eagle seemed to feel safer in the cage and refused to come out.
Lu Guan said, "Boss, if it doesn't want to come out, let it stay inside."
Li Du said, "No, there are not enough cages."
"What cages are not enough?" Lu Guan wondered.
The answer was soon revealed. Li Du, together with Brother Wolf, Firecracker, and Godzilla, opened all the iron cages, put two people in each cage, and stuffed the poachers in together.
The poachers were furious, and someone shouted, "You are abusing us, you are depriving us of our human rights!"
Li Du said lightly, "You can sue me in court or go to the police."
In the cold mountain wind, the smoke in the cave was blown away. At this time, the rain outside became heavy, and Li Du took people into the cave to take shelter.
The satellite phone still had signal, so he called the Pittsburgh police and reported that they had caught a group of poachers, including a pair of Markelov brothers, who were murderers, but had run away.
"The Markelov brothers are murderers? I'm sorry, we don't have any files on them, "the policeman replied." Please tell me their names. "
Murderers were naturally more important than poachers.
Li Du asked the names of the two poachers and told the police that they were Ukrainians and had probably killed people in Ukraine.
After a while, the policeman said, "We contacted our colleagues at the San Francisco Police Department. There is no such murderer. But if they are Ukrainian, then the embassy has two wanted Ukrainian deserters with this name. Please wait, I will confirm their identity for you. "
The police then located Li Du's mobile phone number and said that they would arrange for the police to go up the mountain to pick them up overnight. They also told them to be careful.
"These two brothers have been trained in the Ukrainian special forces. They are extremely powerful and skilled. If possible, please try to find a safe place to hide and don't confront them." The policeman warned him, "We will arrange for the police to go up the mountain as soon as possible, but the wind and rain are very strong now, so they might be a little slow."
Li Du agreed. He was not afraid that the two of them would come back for revenge or fight. He was afraid that they would not come back.
Brother Wolf took Ah Meow and Firecracker took Ah Ow. They divided into two groups to keep watch, hiding in the jungle outside in the rain. There were only two people on Markelov's side. If they came back, they would definitely be discovered in advance.
It rained heavily throughout the night, and the rain became very heavy at midnight. The sound of the rain hitting against the rocks was loud, and the strong wind blew through the forest. It was a frightening sight.
The temperature in the mountains changed greatly. The wind and rain made the temperature drop. Li Du lit a pile of dry wood in the cave, made some coffee, and roasted some meat to eat.
The eyes of the little condor in the corner of the cage lit up when it saw the dried meat. It gently flapped its wings and took small steps out.
Li Du noticed and laughed softly. "Another foodie."
Brother Wolf, who had just returned to the cave, wiped his hair and said, "Of course, Andean condors are foodies."
Like other vultures, Andean condors were scavengers. They were very voracious and would not leave until they had eaten the carcass of an animal.
In their natural state, Andean condors often flew to high cliffs and sat for a long time after eating. This was because they had eaten too much and were too full to move.
However, they had a well-developed digestive system and strong digestive power. Even if they ate too much, they could digest it smoothly.
Like a thief, the little condor moved slowly to the mouth of the cage, then stretched its neck and looked around. When it found that there was no danger, it walked carefully and gradually approached Li Du.
Li Du found that the bird was not afraid of strangers. He smiled and threw a piece of dried meat on the ground. The little condor did not eat it. Instead, it looked around and grabbed the meat with its claws. After waiting for a while and seeing that there was no threat, it picked up the meat and ran back into the cage.
Although it was young, it was a strong runner. Its two strong claws moved on the ground, and it ran back into the cage. After shrinking back into the corner, it began to eat.
In this way, the little condor ate more than ten pieces of meat in a row, but it was still not full.
Li Du saw its appetite and gluttony. Ah Meow, Ah Ow, and the others were green with envy. The little condor ate about the same amount as them, but they were several times heavier than the little condor!
The mountain rain came and went quickly. It lasted for two or three hours, and then the rain slowed down. By early morning, the weather was clear.
Li Du walked out of the cave and looked out. After the rain, the Blue Ridge was less magnificent and more beautiful.
The fresh air was even cleaner after being washed by the rain. Li Du took two deep breaths. The fresh and moist air went from his nose to his trachea and then to his alveoli, as if his respiratory system had been washed.
The colors of the green trees and red flowers were more intense, and the weeds and leaves were green and shiny, as if green grass juice would drip at any time.
On the grass and on the trees, there were raindrops everywhere. The sun shone like gems, shining.
Standing at the top of the mountain and looking down, as far as the eye could see, there were specks of light everywhere.
The mountain wind blew and the branches and leaves rustled. After a night of wind and rain, the birds and animals left their nests to dry their fur when the sun rose.
After the rain, there would be mushrooms in the mountains. Brother Wolf and Firecracker searched around and brought back a large bag of mushrooms.
There was a fire in the cave, and they roasted mushrooms for breakfast. Li Du prepared a lot of seasonings, sprinkled cumin, pepper, and chili powder, and added a little salt. The mushrooms were delicious.
Wild mushrooms contained plant oil. After roasting, the oil oozed out and dripped on the firewood, causing a cluster of flames to rise, bringing with it a delicious smell.
The mushrooms Brother Wolf picked were plump and rich in meat. After a simple roast, they were eaten. The plant oil and juice burst everywhere, a delicious taste that artificial mushrooms did not have.
The poachers smelled the aroma and begged for roasted mushrooms.
Lu Guan rummaged through their dry food bags, took out dry bread, compressed biscuits, and dry fried meat, and threw them to them. "Just fill your stomach. There will be other delicious food waiting for you in prison."
A black poacher cried, "We have no quarrel with each other. Why do you have to deal with us? Can you let us go? "
"That's right, let us go. We're also forced to do this. There's really no other way to make money, so we have no choice but to do this."
Li Du opened their mobile phones. There were some photos, some of them skinning animals, some of them killing birds of prey, and some of them killing animals.
He showed them the photos and videos and said, "You ask me why I deal with you? I will tell you the answer, for justice! "
