The path in front of you is narrow enough to accommodate only one person.

It was mixed with the wild grass, and next to it was a large green tree, as if it had been trampled by human feet.

Now it's in the saddle between two snowy mountains.

The road is very sloping, and the hardest part of the climb has passed, and now it is possible to descend the mountain without much effort.

Not far away, you can see a cottage, all made of stone by the lake.

The workmanship is crude, but sturdy, and it is surrounded by a fence made of wood, about three meters high.

The boy saw a herd of moose drinking from the lake, and the male moose had very sharp horns on their heads.

If you look at the wooden railing next to the house, you can probably see why.

Grover slowly lowered his body, his hand on the gun at his waist, and motioned to everyone not to alarm them,

Walk slowly towards the nearby stream formed by the melting snow, which just passed behind the wooden house.

The two sides of the bank are cobblestones, and the open area can be seen around, and seeing that there is no danger, Detective Charles followed the seniors to put it down. The clasp of the holster is still open, and it can be pulled out at any time.

Probably afraid that they would be frightened, Grover looked back and smiled: "There is no shortage of food this season, the beasts are deep in the mountains, I just think it's better to be careful." ”

After speaking, he sighed, straightened up and hammered back with his hand, and said with emotion: "I also worked as a forest ranger here more than ten years ago, but it was not long, only half a year. It was easy to walk this way at the time, but not now. ”

Charles agreed, and was sore after resting. After sitting in the office for a year, all the things I learned in the police academy have been returned.

But Han Qianshan and the others had nothing to do, they didn't bring any packages, and they seemed to be traveling all the way.

What's even more speechless is that even the little boy is very energetic, the seven-year-old child walked for half an hour on the mountain road, and Charles covered his face and cried when he thought of it.

The group went around the creek to the window.

The old detective raised his arm and knocked on the window with the guardrail, and a woman's voice sounded in the room: "Who is there?"

As the woman spoke, there was the sound of a shotgun being loaded.

The old detective replied, "It's me, Grover." ”

There was silence for a while, and the back door of the room suddenly opened.

A woman in her forties, with very white skin and black-rimmed glasses on her face, came out to open the fence.

Leaning sideways to let them in, the woman turned to Grover and asked, "What are these?"

"They found the poachers. ”

"This is Han and his son, and the black guy is Martinez. After speaking, he patted the young detective on the shoulder: "This is my colleague, Charles." ”

The woman held out her hand to them: "Hello, Ashley. I haven't seen so many people in months. ”

"Wow, boy, isn't this a BBQ? It really likes you, come in and sit down." ”

Xiao Han Xuan was bitter, and he couldn't stand anyone's neck with a big parrot for a long time.

What's even worse is that it actually grabbed its own hair, and it didn't let go of its claws even if it was dead or alive, as if it was relying on him.

Grover smiled as he walked, "Ashley is a professor at the University of Colorado, studying animal physiology, and has been here for half a year. ”

The house was well organized, and the wooden windows were supported by sticks, just enough to see the moose outside.

Ashley smiled and asked everyone to sit down, and she walked around the corner of the room to pour water.

Looking at the chair, several people looked at each other, all of them felt embarrassed, and finally hugged Xiao Han Xuan.

As for the bed behind him, there was not even a trace of wrinkles on the gray sheets, who had the face to spoil it.

BBQ finally left the boy and walked around the table, finding a nut out of nowhere, grabbing it with his paws and eating it.

Ashley turned around with the water bowl in her hand and found them all standing, and couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Turning his head to look at his bed, he remembered something. Walked to the table and put down the bowl, grabbed the corner of the quilt and trembled: "Okay now, everyone please sit down." ”

"Boy, do you want to see cute animals?" Ashley asked as she came to Han Xuan and squatted down.

Xiao Han Xuan nodded, and the woman got up with a smile and walked to the front door.

After a while, she returned, and a bear cub was held in her arms and said, "Thank you for saving it, this is the police in Flathead County, and I found it in those cars, and they were almost on their way to Washington State." ”

"Grizzly Bear!?"

"This little guy isn't a grizzly bear, it's a Kodiak brown bear, a boy, how cute. ”

The old detective came up and took a look, looked at the bear and said in surprise: "I haven't heard of them here, don't the Kodiak brown bears live on that island in Alaska and Canada?"

"Yes, there were people who lived in Yellowstone a few years ago, and in '88, the fire destroyed their homes. ”

"But eight Kodiak brown bears survived, and they were sent here. ”

Ashley was motherly and looked down to touch its face, but was dodged by the bear patting its paws.

"The environment here is more suitable for them, and there are now thirteen of them nearby. After speaking, he covered the bear's ears: "Its mother was injured by those poachers and has been sent to the zoo to recuperate, and this bear has been entrusted to me to take care of it, and it doesn't know this yet." ”

Seeing that the bear was moving badly, Ashley walked to the bed and put it on the quilt, and took a bottle to brew milk powder herself.

Han Xuan jumped out of the chair and walked to the side of the bed, his eyes fixed on it. As if sensing something, the bear crawled over and rested his head on the boy's head.

It was a bear with blond hair, a large head that took up a third of its body, and two small ears that grew on it, completely disproportionate to the large head.

The boy also saw that it had a tail behind it, which was very short, like a small round ball, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch it in curiosity.

The bear immediately raised his head sensitively and opened his mouth in a frightened gesture.

It's a pity that the cute goods are not lethal at all, and Han Qianshan also stretched out his hand to touch it.

Little Bear hurriedly turned around, pouted his butt and tried to escape, but he didn't expect to be mixed by himself, fell on the bed, and shook his limbs.

Ashley came over with a bottle, saw the boy pinching its tail, smiled and squinted her eyes, and said to Han Xuan: "Don't bully the little bear, it's only four months old." ”

Kodiak Bear quickly rolled over, got into Ashley's arms, and looked at her aggrievedly with the big bottle, which made everyone else laugh.

Han Qianshan was very happy in his heart, touched the bear's head, looked up at her and asked, "Clay and Jason, oh, I mean those poachers, how are they now?"

"Flathead County is preparing to sue them, and if they don't have a good lawyer, they should be jailed for three years." ”

"The man named Clay is the mastermind and faces a charge of trafficking and harming a cherished animal, which could result in a five-year sentence and a fine," Ashley said. ”

Martinez said fiercely: "It's so cheap for them, I know those are not good people." ”

Han Xuan rolled his eyes in his heart and asked, "How do you know?"

"Because they just talk to Anderson, I ignore me. ”

"Are you sure it's not the reason for your rambling?"

The black young man's face was even darker, and he looked more aggrieved than the little bear.

"By the way, boy, can you give it a name?"

"Thank you so much for it to live here. Ashley helped the Kodiak bear wipe the milk from his mouth and hugged it to the boy.

Xiao Han Xuan nodded in agreement, but he really couldn't think of a good name for a while, and almost ruined the name of the genius.

After holding back for a long time, he said sullenly: "Pooh, it's okay to call Pooh." ”

"Pooh? Is it the one that Disney aired two years ago? looks like it, right, Pooh. ”

The bear tilted his head blankly, burping from overeating.

The temperature outside has slowly cooled down.

Father Han raised his wrist and looked at his watch, turned his head to them and said, "It's three o'clock in the afternoon, we should go." ”

Grover looked out the window at the sky and nodded: "Then let's go, it's not safe in the woods at night, and now I can just rush back." ”

"Alright then, next time I'm going to stay here for a while," Ashley said, "I was going to leave this month, but now that there's a little bear, I'm going to wait here until its mother comes back." ”

"I will, Ms. Ashley. ”

Saying goodbye and leaving, everyone felt very happy, for the sake of the saved life.

This happens until halfway through.

Because in the grass by the roadside, they found the body of a baby moose. It seems that the gray wolves did it, and they ate it cleanly, and now only the skeleton remains.

Han Xuan was held in his father's arms and walked all the way, but fortunately nothing happened.

At the rest stop, Grover and Charles put their guns back in their holsters, said goodbye, and got into their cars.

The boy didn't see it, and a yellow-blue figure quietly followed them.
