Beyond the Noisy World: The Long Lost Eight Sects: 039, the story of the elk

lnmao.org, the fastest update outside: the latest chapters of the eight disappeared!

When looking at the photos of foreigners holding tree lobsters in the news, Ding Qi was stunned again. The picture is very clear, and you can see many details of this stick insect after zooming in with your fingers. He has clearly seen this kind of insect many times when he was a child.

When his father was alive, he often took him to visit his grandfather in his hometown in the country. Sometimes he would stay at his uncle's house for a period of time during winter and summer vacations, often drilling in the mountains and forests with the children in the village. He has seen this kind of stick insects, some of which are bigger than the news photos, probably more than twelve centimeters.

This kind of thing is not common, it is only found occasionally, but I have been drilling in mountains and forests more often, and the number of times I have seen it adds up. The villagers in their hometown are not biologists, so they call it tree bugs, which are said to be roasted and eaten. Ding Qi has never roasted tree worms, because he is afraid to catch them.

The tree lobster is the largest stick insect in the world? The tree worm that Ding Qi saw when he was a child is bigger than the news photos, and the shape including details are almost exactly the same, it should be a tree lobster. Biologists have declared that it has been extinct for 80 years. It seems that even if there are no new discoveries in the South Pacific, this conclusion is likely to be wrong.

The investigation of the biological community is based on statistical conclusions. For many years, there is no credible witness report, and a certain species can be declared extinct. But in fact, in many remote areas, some people have seen it and don't know what species it is. They have neither left image data nor thought of any biological investigation results.

Thinking of the suspected tree lobster seen in the mountainous area of ​​his hometown, Ding Qi thought of another animal. Ding Qi can be 100% sure that the biological community’s survey conclusions on this species have been wrong for many years. This kind of error is certainly not an error from the perspective of scientific research. It is just that the statistical conclusions do not match the actual situation.

When Ding Qi's uncle was involved in farmland water conservancy construction in the 1970s and 1980s, he saw elk several times in the mountains. In recent years, the ecological environment in my hometown has become better and better, and there have been more traces of elk. Later, Ding Qi also saw the wild Sishen with his own eyes. He not only saw it, but even ate it!

The elk is called "stewed child" locally. Ding Qi doesn't know how to write the characters, only the pronunciation. This is the dialect of the mountainous area in his hometown. I remember one year when I returned to my hometown during the Chinese New Year, some neighbors came back from hunting a stew on the mountain, and every household in the village was given meat to eat. Of course Ding Qi ate it too, it tasted pretty good!

Wild animals are now protected. If poaching is caught, you will be punished severely. But in the mountainous countryside, this kind of thing happens from time to time. If you hit a wild boar, set a rabbit, etc., as long as you don’t go too far, the law is enforced. The department also closed one eye. They all belonged to the villagers, and there were only a few people in the township police station. How could they manage them all.

The local game has always been said to be deer, deer, deer, and rabbit. The ranking order is based on the degree of deliciousness, which means that deer is the most delicious, and deer is the second. In fact, the stewed meat is also very delicious, but because of the small number of hits, it failed to enter the rankings. I don't know whether it is regret or luck.

Elk, antlers, horse face, ox hoof, donkey tail, so it is called four different, in "The Romance of the Gods", it was once Jiang Ziya's mount. When the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered Beijing, they snatched away the four different animals kept in the Nanhaizi Royal Game Park, transported this precious and strange animal to the United Kingdom, and raised them in the Wubang Temple Manor, and since then declared that the elk has been extinct in the wild. .

This is the conclusion announced by the British biology community before the First World War: the elk has been extinct all over the world, only in the Ubon Temple Manor in the United Kingdom. Later, the world biological community also recognized this conclusion, including domestic ones, because there is indeed no scientific report on the discovery of elk tracks in the wild.

In 1985, through diplomatic efforts and under the coordination of the World Wide Fund for Nature, 22 elks were sent back from the UK to the Milu Garden in Nanhaizi Park, Beijing. In 1986, another 39 elks were sent back to Jiangsu University. Feng Nature Reserve has reproduced elk populations in China.

This is a legendary story with a humiliating history behind it. For the elk, this is also a bizarre life experience. However, in Ding Qi's hometown, in the mountainous area of ​​Jingyang County, the local people did not know this conclusion of the world biology community, and the four differences have never disappeared.

Someone saw four different images in the mountains, but this "proves" the existence of wild elk, because there is no official scientific research report to confirm it. It is difficult to shoot an elk in the deep mountains and forests. It is easy to be frightened. Hearing a little movement from a long distance, it will run away, leaving a footprint that looks like a cow's hoof print. What's more, when Ding Qi was a child, there was no camera in the whole village in his hometown.

So what about the four people who were beaten by the villagers in the mountains? Of course it was eaten, and Ding Qi had also eaten it. No one will take photos and leave evidence. This kind of thing is illegal. When neighbors hit the meat and distribute the meat to the whole village, it means that everyone will keep it secret.

The existence of the wild four is a self-evident fact in the local mountainous area. But many people only know that there are stews, and they have not even heard of what an elk is.

In order for the scientific expedition team to obtain accurate information, unless large-scale installation of trigger-type shooting equipment in the deep mountains and forests, no matter whether it is to organize the scientific expedition team or install the equipment, it needs funds, and no one deliberately runs because of rumors. Go there for scientific research. Therefore, consulting any public official information and academic papers, the conclusion has always been that the elk has long been extinct in the wild.

Until 2009, as far away as the Dongting Lake, a scientific expedition team discovered 27 wild elk populations at a time. This revised the conclusion of the biological community and confirmed that there have been four different species living and multiplying in the wild environment. As for Ding Qi's hometown, no matter what people think, the elk has always lived in the deep mountains and forests.

The story of the elk is also telling Ding Qi: There are certain things and places in this world, whether people think it exists or not, it will always exist. The reason why people don't know its existence is because the vast majority of people can't see it, or even turn a blind eye; even if someone can see it all the time and know it all the time, other people just can't see it, just don't believe it.

For example, the elk, such as the eight gates of the rivers and lakes, such as the secret realm he is still looking for...

Standing on the river bank, Ding Qi inquired about the elk and searched for relevant scientific research reports. He thought it was a little unbelievable. The elk is not a crustacean such as a beetle or tree lobster, but a large mammal that can weigh up to five to six hundred catties. It lives under people’s eyelids, but is considered a wild environment. Extinct.

He subconsciously refreshed the news feed app he just watched, and as a result, another piece of past news report popped up: "The Irish Giant Deer, which was extinct more than 7,000 years ago, was discovered in the jungle not long ago. ! 》

Ding Qi was speechless, feeling as if he was defeated by a small mobile phone. The elk has never been extinct, but is thought to have disappeared in the wild. The Irish giant deer has been extinct for nearly 10,000 years. Where did this come from? It seems that there are really weird things in this world. Ding Qi is not a biologist and cannot explain such problems.

In the following days, Ding Qi will still go to the park every day. He is used to sitting alone on the hill where the original Chishan Temple is located at sunrise, and then go for a walk along the river. Looking at the billowing river, I can't help but wonder whether the baiji will appear again?

Ding Qi is concerned about the baiji, and is always worried about it deep down. Nowadays, although fishing is not allowed in the main channel of the Yangtze River, the boats passing by and the pollution of the water body may cause harm to the baiji. He never saw the creature that flashed in front of his eyes that was suspected of being a baiji, but after a few days, the "ancestors" came.

The so-called ancestor is Shi Liangde, the founder of Botian Group. In his early years, he was born as a doctor in the rivers and lakes. With a single prescription for treating skin diseases, he practised medicine everywhere. A group of "disciples" came out and founded Botian Group from scratch.

Botian Group’s main business is medical care. It originally "contracted" specialty specialties of various hospitals. Later, it acquired and built a large number of private hospitals. Now its business scope extends not only to major cities in China, but also to Southeast Asia. Today Botian Group has become a large-scale investment group focusing on the medical industry, and Shi Liangde himself is a big business man.

The old ancestor is just the name of the insiders around him. Ye Xing privately called Shi Liangde the ancestor in front of Ding Qi, just to show that he and Shi Liangde are very close, but in fact they are still far away. There are hundreds of affiliated institutions of Botian Group, and Boci Medical is only one of them. It has to turn several corners in terms of equity control.

Shi Liangde is not very young. He is only 58 years old this year. He has been living in Singapore in recent years. This time he returned to the country for affairs and came to inspect Boci Medical by crossing the lake. It was just passing by to take a look, but Boci Medical was very nervous and had been preparing for it for half a month.

Ye Xing was especially nervous, even too nervous. Ye Xing also deliberately discussed with Ding Qi how to welcome the ancestors to inspect? Ding Qi smiled and said that he was just an expert in consultation, and he was not responsible for management.

Ye Xing asked the logistics department to buy a batch of brand-new white lab coats, and told all employees of Boci Medical, don’t wear them in a hurry, and put them on when the ancestors come. I heard that the ancestors like clean and tidy. , Must leave a good impression on his old man. He also especially told Ding Qi not to forget to wear a white coat that day.

Whether the psychiatrist wears a white coat? This is actually a very interesting professional question. When in the Mental Health Center of Jinghu University, psychologists usually do not wear white coats.

The dressing of the counselor itself will give the help-seekers a hint. For some help-seekers, the psychologist’s white coat will increase the anxiety and anxiety of the other person; for other help-seekers, the psychologist While adding a sense of trust, his white coat will also increase a sense of dependence.

Therefore, whether to wear a white coat or not depends on the specific situation of the seeker. This requires accurate observation and analysis, and Ding Qi generally does not wear it. The request made by Ye Xing to the psychology specialist clinic may not be professional, but since there was a reason for the matter, Ding Qi did not raise any objections. This matter really doesn't need to come to him alone, just let anyone say hello.

After talking about this very boring little thing, Ye Xing didn’t leave yet, and said hesitantly: "Teacher Ding, if your ancestors come to you alone, you must be careful and speak with a sense of discretion. , Can’t reveal flaws."

Ding Qi was taken aback, what does this mean, Ye Xing doesn't have any embezzlement, embezzlement, etc. in his hands? Although Botian Group and Boci Medical are both private companies, the so-called private companies are large enough to form internal systems and interest groups. Many problems are actually similar to those of state-owned enterprises and officialdom.

Ding Qi asked inexplicably, "Will Shi always talk to me alone? Besides, I'm just a sitting doctor, and I don't understand other things in the hospital."

Ye Xing frowned and said, "Maybe, maybe not. I planned to ask you to ask for leave that day, but the psychology clinic is my new business this year, and you are the top expert, no It’s not good to show up. The ancestors must have heard of your name. But have you ever thought about why the ancestors came here to inspect, and not sooner or later?"

Ding Qi suddenly reacted. It turned out that Ye Xing was worried about other things and asked: "Ye always refers to us looking for the secret realm outside the Fang. Are you afraid that Boss Shi will hear the news and want to intervene? "

Ye Xing said anxiously: "I did this privately, it has nothing to do with Boci Medical, nor did I disclose any information to the outside world. No matter what we discover, it is our own discovery. I mean just in case, just in case. What the old ancestors heard was because of this incident. Don’t miss out when asking you.

The ancestors are fine! He met a master of Jianghu Weimen at the beginning, and then he has today. I also heard about the rumors of his old man, so I became interested in the Eight Gates of the Rivers and Lakes, and then I met a lot of people... With the background of the ancestors, maybe I will hear some news. "

Ding Qi patted him on the shoulder and said: "Mr. Ye, you may be thinking too much! You heard the story told by your grandfather when you were a child, and knew that the monk at Chishan Temple was very rich, maybe there was another treasure. Earth, now I have gotten clues again, for fear that others will **** you. But do you think about who Shi Liangde is? A huge wealth of tens of billions of assets!

He can't remember how many branches like Boci Medical underneath. Everyone is in different positions and is interested in different things. From his point of view, your thoughts may be just a joke. Take a step back and say that if this kind of people wanted to find something, they would have used all kinds of resources to find it.

If he hears any wind and is interested in what you are doing in private, he would have called you to ask in person. Since there is no such thing, people are not here for you, but just to inspect the subordinate institutions, so don't worry about it. "

Ye Xing was a little relieved, nodded and said: "I hope I think more."

Ding Qi smiled again: "I'm telling a story, don't you love to listen. One morning I walked by the gate of the park, and there was a trash can next to it. I accidentally kicked a Coke bottle and there was a voice rushing next to it. I shouted, "The bottle belongs to me. This is my place. You are not allowed to pick it!" I didn't look back, and of course I didn't pick the bottle, so I walked into the park. I don't know who called it."

Facts have proved that Ye Xing really thinks too much. Ding Qi believed that the secret realm he was looking for in private, because Ding Qi had personal experience like that, but if the news spreads to the outside world, others may listen to it as a legend, not to mention whether it is Ye Xing or Ding. Qi didn't disclose it to others, and the only insiders today are Shi Buquan and Zhu Shanxian.

Shi Liangde came to Boci Medical on Friday afternoon. There is a group of eight people. The front is an SUV and the back is a commercial vehicle. Shi Liangde is such a successful business man, Ding Qi did not find his photos on the Internet. The staff of Boci Medical were also greeted in advance, do not take out their mobile phones to take pictures, and do not take photos with President Shi.

Shi Liangde is so low-key and mysterious that Ding Qi is also quite curious. When I saw Shi Liangde in person, it was a bit different from what he imagined. For an expert who has learned the technique of psychological profiling, this kind of situation is rare.

Before the age of 30, Shi Liangde was an ordinary villager living in the countryside. Later, he was a doctor who walked the streets and alleys. Ding Qi once sketched an image like Lao Yangtou in the communication room. Mr. Shi is now very successful in his career. He should have been well maintained in recent years, and he is rich and wealthy, but he may still see signs of wind and frost.

As a result, Shi Liangde's image is not like this at all. He is handsome, although not tall, but he is very tall and straight. Wearing a pair of glasses, very fanciful. I don't know if I have dyed my hair. In short, I haven't seen a single white hair. Although I am fifty-eight years old, my complexion is ruddy and full of energy.

Ding Qi also saw the so-called "official air" in Shi Liangde, which was different from the feeling Zhu Shanxian gave him. The last time I met Zhu Shanxian in a private place at home, Zhu Shanxian's expression was very peaceful, but today Shi Liangde is inspecting subordinate institutions, which is full of momentum.

Shi Liangde is wearing a gray tunic suit, and there is a young woman in a light-colored professional dress next to him. He was introduced to Assistant Wang, followed by seven men in dark blue suits, in their early twenties to about 40. Wait. These seven subordinates actually wore uniform suits. No wonder this ancestor liked to be neat and tidy.

Shi Liangde inspected the various departments, shook hands with the medical staff, nodded and smiled one by one, everyone bowed slightly and said: "Hello, Mr. Shi!"

And Shi Liangde smiled and replied: "Thank you!"

When the inspection team came to the auxiliary building behind the main building, all the doctors in the psychology specialist clinic also lined up in white coats to greet each other. When shaking hands with Ding Qi, Shi Liangde deliberately stopped, but said something different from others: "Teacher Ding Qi, I have long admired my name!"

Shi Liangde knows him, at least he has heard of his name, seen his photos, and can recognize him when they meet. Ding Qi had to smile and said, "Ashamed, I didn't expect President Shi to have heard of me."

Ye Xing, who was accompanied by him, hurriedly interjected: "President Shi, Ms. Ding is the leading expert in our psychology specialist clinic, and it was only when I visited the thatched cottage."

Shi Liangde nodded and said: "When I came, I listened to your Boci Medical's introduction in the car. It's not bad, you have done a good job, and you will continue to work hard in the future!"

Listening to this sentence, Ding Qi can roughly infer that Shi Liangde actually doesn't know about Boci Medical. I am afraid that he doesn't even know Ye Xing. He only heard his subordinates introduce him on the way here. Among all the staff present, Shi Liangde was probably the only one who had heard of the name Ding Qi. There is no way. This is also a benefit or annoyance of being a celebrity.

Although Shi Liangde knew Ding Qi, the inspection was limited to two more words when shaking hands. At 5:30 in the afternoon, Boci Medical gathered all the staff above the department director and listened to President Shi's speech in the conference room. Ding Qi did not attend, and Shi Liangde was not called alone to ask anything.

Shi Liangde left Boci Medical at about six o'clock. Among the staff, only Ye Xing followed him. It is estimated that he will accompany him to dinner. When they walked out of the building, Ding Qi happened to get off work and was ready to go back. In the yard, watching the group of nine people walking out of the main building's gate and preparing to get in the car, Ding Qi suddenly noticed the other person.

This person originally stood next to the communication room. He looked like an inconspicuous old countryman, unobtrusive. Ding Qi glanced over, and he assumed it was Old Yangtou. It's not time for Old Yangtou to be on duty now, how could he come so early, but Ding Qi didn't think much.

But when Shi Liangde and others walked out of the main building of the hospital, Ding Qi had to pay attention to this person. What kind of feeling is this, I can barely describe it, like a big light bulb suddenly lit up in the dark!
