Chapter Eighty-Three: Poachers
Early the next morning, Zhang Ling woke up early to wake up Lu Mingxuan and Qi Dapeng, while He Qiaoxin and Xu Ping felt that they had worked hard to go up the mountain and stayed at the resort to act with those students.
While waiting for Lu Mingxuan, Zhang Ling clicked on the QQ group and sent a message of greetings, and more than a dozen people immediately replied to him.
After these two days, Zhang Ling has become a little accustomed to communicating with these fans, although they always ask some strange questions, but these people have unusual respect for him.
The lonely fish who was helped by Zhang Ling last time was also online at this time, and as soon as Zhang Ling sent a message, he immediately replied: "Master morning, are you going to start a live broadcast today?" β
Zhang Ling: "No, there is no internet in the place I'm going to today, but I'll record it and share it with you!" β
SchrΓΆdinger's cat: "Master, Master, the video you shared yesterday seems to be a shaman's sacrifice, where are you?" β
Zhang Ling: "I was in the Aoluguya Resort, which is a settlement of the Evenki people, and today an Evenki friend invited us to go into the mountains to look for reindeer. β
Flower on the other side: "I've been there, it's beautiful, but it's too cold!" β
Lonely Fish: "The master must record the process of entering the mountain, I am looking forward to it!" β
Zhang Ling: "Okay, I'll post it to the group when I come back!" β
Just as he was replying, Lu Mingxuan came down from upstairs and said, "Pack up, let's go!" β
Zhang Ling put away the phone and glanced at him and said, "I thought you were going to clean up until dark!" β
Lu Mingxuan raised the watch on his wrist and shouted, "Dear, it's only past six o'clock in the morning!" β
"Alright, stop talking nonsense, let's go!"
β¦β¦
The air in the early morning of Aoluguya was exceptionally fresh, and they came to Xue Yu's house facing the rising sun.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, the three of them saw five or six horses tied to the horse tie post, and Xue Yu was saddle the horse, he saw Zhang Ling and the three of them coming, so he greeted him with a smile and said, "You guys came so early!" β
"Hehe, we don't know if there are any rules for going up the mountain, so we came early!"
"There are no rules, since you are here, then let's go, if you are lucky, you can still eat the boiled meat and rice porridge made by Erni himself!"
The Ini mentioned by Xue Yu is the female patriarch of the Evenki tribe - Suo, this is a very respectable old man, and he is also one of the few people who still adhere to the Evenki tradition.
The government has carried out ecological migration three times, but Suo still stays in the mountains, because for her, there are reindeer, there are memories, there are traces left by her ancestors, and this is her roots.
Xue Yu's home was about forty kilometers away from Eni's residence on the mountain, and they hurried all the way, and when they arrived at Puluozi, where Suo lived, they were just in time for the old man to make breakfast.
Xue Yu respectfully saluted the old man, and introduced Zhang Ling and the others to the old man in Evenki, the old man was very silent, she just looked at Zhang Ling and the three of them and asked Xue Yu to distribute the boiled meat and rice porridge that had just been made to them.
This was the first time Zhang Ling had seen this kind of pinch, and he couldn't help but look at it curiously.
It is a conical hut made of 20 to 30 larch woods, covered with birch bark, canvas and animal skins.
There are many taboos and particularities for the Evenks to live in Puluozi: for example, the bunk on the north side is only for the male owner to sit and sleep, and the women and children can only sleep on the right bunk; The open space between the bunk and the door was a place where the fire was lit for heating and cooking, and women and children could not cross it.
Zhang Ling and the others sat on the ground and ate this delicious boiled meat and rice porridge, when the two bowls of rice porridge were eaten, the cold air of the early morning was swept away, and Zhang Ling felt that his whole body was full of strength.
Suo was very silent about the Han people, because these Han people wanted them, a people with their backs to the mountains and forests, to leave the mountains and forests abruptly, to end their tradition of hunting, and to settle down, making it difficult for the people to adapt.
More than ten years have passed, and the Evenks are still hovering between settlement and safari: they have not really settled down, and they still miss the days in the mountains and forests; It is impossible to really return to the mountains and forests, because the shotguns have been confiscated and the reindeer have long since run away......
The three of them ended the meeting in an extremely awkward atmosphere, and when they left Suo's Luozi, Zhang Ling couldn't help but ask, "Why is Eni so indifferent?" β
Xue Yu glanced at the felled mountains and forests in the distance and sighed: "Over the years, there have been more and more Han logging teams, a large number of vegetation has been destroyed, and the reindeer can no longer eat the "En" and "Qiang Nagu" no longer have the branches to live in, and the Zeni have been smiling less and less over the years. β
"What is Jona Goo?" Lu Mingxuan put down the camera in his hand and asked
"It's a little bird with a nice call! Let's go, let's go in search of the reindeer! β
Xue Yu shook the reins and marched towards the depths of the vast forest sea, and Zhang Ling found that the sadness on his face was even stronger at this time.
Along the way, through talking with Zhang Ling, I learned that Xue Yu would go up the mountain every year to look for reindeer, but due to the excessive logging of the forest in recent years, those reindeer had disappeared into the depths of the forest and were not easy to find.
Riding a horse in this sparse forest, Xue Yu looked at the beautiful scenery around him and said softly, "If only I could see the divine deer!" β
"Divine deer?"
"Yes, we have a legend, legend has it that in the depths of this Great Khing'an Mountains lives a sacred deer, this divine deer is snow-white, the antlers are as big as the shade of a tree, and flowers bloom wherever it walks, it can make dead trees in spring, and it can also bring the dead back to life."
"We believe that it has been guarding this forest, and it is also guarding our entire Evenki community."
Speaking of this, Xue Yu couldn't help singing, the song was tactful and loud, and the lyrics were very beautiful: "An ancient legend is depressed/The deer bell is going to be lost in the forest/The bonfire dance is still flying......"
The three of them were all attracted by Xue Yu's moving singing, and their thoughts gradually drifted to the depths of the forest with the singing.
β¦β¦
By the afternoon, they had gone deep into the forest, where the trees were getting thicker, and it was beginning to be a little inconvenient for them to ride their horses.
But at this moment, a little reindeer appeared in everyone's sight, Xue Yu looked at the little reindeer excitedly and immediately said happily: "Look, reindeer!" β
He jumped lightly from his horse, lest he startle the little reindeer, and walked towards it.
And Zhang Ling and the three of them also slowly dismounted, and Lu Mingxuan seized this rare opportunity to carefully photograph the reindeer that was grazing with his head down with the camera.
The four of them slowly approached the little reindeer, and the cute little guy didn't seem to notice Zhang Ling and the others, just quietly chewing the moss on the ground.
"What a cute little guy, I didn't expect to find it this year!"
Xue Yu was very excited, this was the first time he had found a reindeer in the forest, which made him look extremely excited.
"yes, what a cute little guy!"
"We're looking closer!"
Xue Yu made a gesture and slowly leaned towards the little reindeer, but just when they had just walked less than two steps, suddenly a loud gunshot rang out in the forest, and then only a wail was heard, and the little reindeer slowly fell in a pool of blood!
(PS: Enfu is a kind of moss!) οΌ
