Chapter 103: Red Star Forest Farm

Ling Zikai looked at the information of the Red Star Forest Farm and found that there was a bridge built one kilometer downstream along the Yunhai River.

It was built in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty and has been washed away by floods several times.

The most recent one was repaired in the 60s of the last century by the then Yunhai People's Commune members, and after completion, it was also named "Red Star Bridge".

I don't know if it was the name of the bridge that was taken from the Red Star Forest Farm, or the name of the forest farm that was taken after the name of the bridge, anyway, there is no way to verify it.

Approaching the Red Star Bridge, everyone realized that the bridge was originally made of a combination of stone and wood.

At both ends of the bridge is a stone approach bridge, 15 or 6 meters, and the middle section is made of timber more than 10 meters long and 50 centimeters in diameter.

The bridge deck is about 1.5 meters wide and more than 2 meters high above the water.

Because it is located in the mountains and forests, few people usually walk, although the wood on it has been preserved, but because it is in the perennial sun and rain environment, it has been somewhat rotten, and some moss, mushrooms and other things have grown on the surface.

Ling Zikai took the lead on the bridge deck and tried to stomp a few times.

Fortunately, although the wooden bridge is a little shaky, it can still carry weight, and there should be no problem for people to walk on it, but the surface is a little slippery.

Ling Zikai turned around and beckoned everyone to be careful of slipping under their feet, and then slowly walked towards the opposite side.

The rest of the men cautiously followed.

After crossing the Red Star Bridge, turning over the mountain beam near the river, and then crossing a canyon, what is presented in front of everyone is the vast Xing'an prairie.

Standing on a mountain ridge and looking out, the heaven and earth seem to spread out a huge picture, full of green, unobstructed, like a still ocean, giving people a shock to the soul and infinite reverie.

Wow, that's too vast!

Seeing the grassland for the first time, Ling Zikai couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation!

The sky is firm,

Wild,

The wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep!

This ancient poem, which was already catchy when he was a child, once brought Ling Zikai countless times of yearning.

But it was only now, after seeing the grassland with his own eyes, that he really felt the artistic conception of the poem's sparse and far-reaching, heroic and free-spirited.

Although Lin Xing'an is no stranger to the Xing'an prairie, they live in the noisy city all the year round, and what they see every day, in addition to high-rise buildings and buildings, at this moment facing the vast grassland, leisurely drifting with white clouds and blue sky, they also feel a burst of relaxation.

Zhang Nan shouted beside him: "Brother Zikai, next time you come here, you must find a way to get a few horses over, I haven't experienced the feeling of galloping on the grassland for a long time!"

Ling Zikai's heart was also moved when he heard this.

Since the murder of Hakuba, there has been no transportation in the forest farm, and all the people who enter and leave the forest farm are on foot.

The distance from the cottage in the woodfarm to the town is only four or five miles, and it doesn't take much time to walk back and forth. Usually, people don't pay much attention to the problem of inconvenience.

But now that the size of the forest farm has nearly doubled, the problem becomes apparent.

Take the current location, the distance from here to the wooden house where you live is nearly twenty miles, and it takes nearly three hours to walk back and forth, not to mention the waste of time, and your legs will be tired and numb.

It seems that I will have to go to the horse farm as soon as possible to buy a few horses and come back. In addition to daily transportation, it is also a good enjoyment to come to this prairie for a run when you have nothing to do.

Although he once promised Du Juan to find a bloody BMW for her, but after all, it is an unavoidable thing, and it is unknown whether it can be realized!

"Look at that?"

Just when everyone was standing on the ridge and looking at the grassland, Liu Yan suddenly pointed to the opposite canyon and shouted.

Everyone followed the prestige, and just saw a white shadow rising into the sky from a dense forest in the canyon, drawing a big arc in mid-air, swooping down, and rushing into the dense forest.

However, before the white shadow could approach the dense forest, a gunshot rang out from the forest.

The white shadow's body paused, as if frightened, and did not dare to enter the forest, but after making a V-shaped arc, it rose to the sky again, and began to hover in mid-air.

At this time, everyone could clearly see the appearance of the white shadow hovering in mid-air.

The white shadow looked like a white eagle, because it was too far away to see the details of its body, but from the wings that spread out nearly two meters, it was undoubtedly a large bird of prey.

"I know, that's a big white eagle!" Zhang Nan shouted loudly.

"The big white eagle? Is it the kind of white eagle raised by Guo Jing in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?"

Ling Zikai asked curiously. Seeing Zhang Nan nodded, he suddenly became interested: "Is there really such a magical animal in this world?"

He just wanted to ask again, but was interrupted by Lin Xing'an: "Okay, if you have anything to say later, didn't you hear the gunshots that rang out just now, it was someone poaching." Now we must rush to the forest to stop them, it's too late. ”

Ling Zikai saw that Lin Xing'an's expression was a little solemn, and asked puzzledly: "That shot didn't hit just now, but now that it has flown so high, it should be safe!"

Zhang Nan explained: "No, these big white eagles all live together in pairs. There must have been two great white eagles in the woods, but now only one of them is flying in the air, and the other may have fallen into the hands of the poachers. ”

When Ling Zikai heard this, he couldn't help but think of the scene described in the novel, after one of the big white eagles died, the other big white eagle also crashed into the rock and committed suicide.

Lin Xing'an nodded and said: "The big white eagle is a national first-class protected animal, and it is strictly forbidden to capture and hunt. I didn't expect anyone to dare to fight the idea of these rare animals. Now that we've got this happening to us, we have to stop them!"

Li Yan said with some hesitation next to him: "Those poachers have guns in their hands, let's go over like this, will there be danger!"

Liu Yan echoed: "Otherwise, let's call the police first!"

"In this barren mountain and wilderness, there is no signal on the mobile phone, how can we call the police? When we rush back to Yunhai to notify the police station, these poachers have already fled without a trace!"

Lin Xingan glanced at Li Yan and Liu Yan dissatisfied, and said, "If you are afraid of danger, stay here." Anyway, I can't watch the big white eagle being hunted, even if I don't want to fight this old bone, I have to go!"

Ling Zikai said: "Uncle Lin, Master Li is right, those poachers even dare to hunt national first-class protected animals, they must be some ruthless outlaws, they can do anything, we rush directly like this, maybe we will really be poisoned by them, let's think of other ways!"

"Why, you're scared too! Okay, I'll go by myself. I don't believe they dare to kill people in broad daylight!"

Lin Xingan said and ran down the ridge.

Ling Zikai didn't expect Lin Xing'an to be so old and still have such a strong temperament, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart, naturally it was impossible for him to go on an adventure alone, so he said to Zhang Nan and Li Yan: "You guys are waiting here, Professor Lin and I will go over and have a look." If you really encounter any danger, you will immediately rush back to the sea of clouds to call the police. ”

Zhang Nan shouted: "No, I'm going too!"

Ling Zikai shook his head and said, "Don't go to join in the fun if you're a girl!"

He said to Li Yan again: "Master Li, you take care of the two of them, if there is any accident, leave here immediately." ”

As he spoke, seeing that Lin Xing'an had already run far away, Ling Zikai didn't care about saying anything more, and hurriedly chased after him.

After all, Lin Xingan is nearly sixty years old, and after running down the mountain, his physical strength is a little unable to keep up. It didn't take long for Ling Zikai to catch up, and he nodded approvingly at him.

"Uncle Lin, you go slowly, I'll go up first to see the situation!"

When Ling Zikai overtook Lin Xing'an, he said a word to him, and without waiting for him to respond, he quickened his pace, and left Lin Xing'an behind in a blink of an eye.

Lin Xingan looked at Ling Zikai, who was flying like a button, and was stunned for a moment: "I didn't expect this kid to run, why is the speed so fast, do you really mean that I am really old, not as good as young people?"

Seeing that Ling Zikai ran away alone, he immediately became worried about him again, and shouted from afar: "Be careful, be aware of danger!"
