The original animal "corridor" was at the foot of the mountain, but now that they are about to enter the mountain, they naturally have to find a mountain road that can enter the mountain, but fortunately, they have walked a short distance forward, and they see a mountain road appear in front of them.

Huangshi and the three of them walked into the rainforest along this mountain road, although it is now late autumn in Canada, but this rainforest is still lush as far as the eye can see, without the slightest scene of deciduous leaves that he saw when he was transiting in Beijing at the same latitude, but it is different from the kind of greenery in the south of the country, where most of the trees are subarctic coniferous forests.

Originally, the most famous tree in Vancouver was the maple tree, but the maple leaves start to turn red in late September, and the red is at its most dazzling in early October. Originally, when Shi Wenbo urged him to come over, it was at the end of September, not only was it not too late, but the time was just right.

AT THAT TIME, HE SAID THAT HE WANTED TO GO TO THE CITY CENTER OF THE CITY TO SEE THE MAPLE VIEW, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE "MAPLE RED STREET", AND THE MAPLE LEAVES ARE AS RED AS FIRE. There is also a "golden road", where the maple leaves are even more golden and beautiful, but unfortunately he couldn't walk away at that time.

As soon as he walked into the jungle from the "corridor" at the bottom of the mountain, Huangshi found that this dense forest was not as quiet as it seemed from the outside. The sound of the stream, the gentle chirping of insects, the rustle of leaves, and the occasional birdsong made him feel as if he had been embraced into the embrace of nature, and his heart suddenly felt very quiet, and even his breathing became slow.

"The air here is so good!" After walking for a while, Huangshi stopped, sniffed around a few times, and felt a faint sweetness of pine branches in the mountain air.

Shi Wenbo, who was walking in front, said without looking back, "We are in the mountains now, how can the air not be fresh, and it rained two days ago." ”

Huang Shi nodded, originally he had some slight rhinitis, once he ate hot, or when he encountered cold air, this rhinitis would attack, but now, although the temperature is already very low, the air inhaled into the nasal cavity is cold, but it still has not attacked, I don't know if it is because the gate of time and space has cured it, or because the air here is too good.

Shi Wenbo stood on the flat ground on the hillside, looked down at the small lake at the foot of the mountain, and said, "It seems that there is no way to find bears today, let's set up a camp here." ”

He wanted to go further, but seeing that it was almost late, and the night in the mountains and forests would come earlier, he could only stop.

Huang Shi looked at the sunset, a deep blue lake, the lake water was covered with pieces of golden scales, and the breeze blew through the bursts of waves, and he liked it all of a sudden, and he naturally would not object to hearing Shi Wenbo say this.

The location of this small lake was far away from their original "corridor", and Shi Wenbo and Bai Xiaohei also constantly consulted the map of the high-line hunting area, and then constantly adjusted the route ahead, and finally came here after seven turns and eight turns.

So after Huangshi took out the tent, Shi Wenbo and Bai Xiaohei quickly began to build the white tent.

"Lao Huang, you go pick up some fallen leaves and dead branches, let's make a bonfire barbecue at night, and drink some ice wine to help the fun." Shi Wenbo, who was working there, saw that Huangshi was idle on the side, so he asked Huangshi to find something to do.

Huang Shi answered, picked up the wooden stick that Bai Xiaohei threw aside, and walked back along the path next to him, he saw a lot of dead branches on the way here, which was the best material for a bonfire. And the function of him picking up this wooden stick, in addition to holding the grass and beating the rabbit, is actually mainly to prevent snakes and scare snakes.

Canada's environment is very good, so even urban residents often have to be neighbors with some small animals, such as small squirrels and chipmunks, and of course, snake neighbors. And if it's in the mountains and forests, there are more of these little things.

The red side banded snake is a kind of snake that Bai Xiaohei mentioned to Huangshi, it is also called the ornamental snake, which is said to be the most widely distributed snake in North America, with a little poison, but the toxicity is not very great, and they are also a kind of social snakes, when hibernating, they are often dozens or even hundreds of clusters together, and then lie dormant in a cave or tree hole in a high dry place for the winter.

It's only late autumn, and the temperature is not low enough for them to hibernate, and it's not the season for spring to warm up, so they come out in groups to courtship and mate, probably hiding in the shady grass and watching their prey. This snake is also said to be a hardy snake, and there are cases of resurrection from freezing, so it can be said that it is a realistic version of "The Farmer and the Snake".

When Bai Xiaohei was exploring the road in front, he was a stick in his hand, and he often swept the grass on both sides of the mountain road, and he really picked up a lot of such small things. Huang Shi was a little afraid of snakes, so he naturally learned from Bai Xiaohei.

By the time Huangshi had gone back and forth, hugging the fallen leaves and branches a few times, the ground in front of the tent was already full of branches.

At this time, Shi Wenbo and Bai Xiaohei also set up the tent, and when he saw that Huangshi's efficiency was so high, he hurriedly shouted to stop, "It's okay, Lao Huang, it's enough, you don't need to look for it anymore." ”

The tent they built was different from the disaster relief tents that Huangshi used to buy, and it was completely used by the high-ranking people for vacation.

Therefore, they are made of high-strength lightweight aluminum alloy materials as structural supports, and the tarpaulin is made of double-sided PVC-coated synthetic fiber tarpaulin, which not only has very good wind-resistant, waterproof, fireproof and ultraviolet-proof properties, but also looks beautiful and generous in the past.

They are not at all as simple as the Chinese-style tiled houses of the relief tents, but rather in the Arabic style of the spire, and the windows and door frames are like the doors and windows of the celestial church.

"Lao Huang, hurry up and get the sofa out!"

"I mean, no wonder you insisted on bringing the couch, it turned out that you had this idea." Huang Shi walked into the tent and took a look, it was indeed spacious enough, not only could he put down a set of sofas, but there was no problem with three more marching beds.

By the time the campfire was lit, it was already completely dark, and Yellowstone lit a kerosene lamp in the white tent, and they sat outside the tent eating "Bromelake Duck", which was carefully roasted by Swenbeau, a foodie, and tasted the unique Canadian ice wine.

"Old Shi, your 'Bromer Lake Duck' is indeed very good." The three of them were half-lying on the beach chairs in front of the campfire, and the firelight printed their faces, red and bright, which made people feel that such a picture was a little unreal.

"Brother Huang, it's like we're on vacation." Bai Xiaohei grabbed a bottle of cold beer with his greasy hand and toasted with Huang Shi, to be honest, he hadn't been so relaxed since he joined the gang.

After Shi Wenbo drank all the wine in the bottle in one go, he picked up another bottle from the ground, "Xiao Hei, what do you mean, we were originally on vacation, okay!"

……

Huang Shi didn't wake up naturally, and was woken up by Bai Xiaohei at 7 o'clock in the morning, it turned out that Shi Wenbo and they had already gotten up, and there was a breakfast they had prepared on the table, which was nothing more than two slices of bread and a slice of ham meat, and a packet of hot milk.

"It's such an early wake-up." Huang Shi sat up and rubbed his eyes.

"Brother Shi has gone to the lake, I'll call him." Bai Xiaohei and Huang Shi said that because black bears mostly travel at night and hide in tree holes or caves during the day, they can take advantage of the daytime to find their footprints and kill them at night.

"Lao Huang, after you finish eating, let's go." Shi Wenbo got up very early, he saw that Huangshi hadn't woken up yet, so he ran to the lake to take a turn, and when he heard Bai Xiaohei calling him, he hurriedly ran back, "I found a beast road by the lake just now, but I haven't had time to see it yet." ”

"Okay, I'll eat while I go." Because of Huangshi, the mobile logistics housekeeper, they didn't even have to dismantle the tent, and they were directly sent from Huangshi to Dongluo Island.

"You see, this is where the animals come down to drink." Shi Wenbo led Huangshi and Bai Xiaohei to the lake, and Huangshi saw that there were many traces of animals in a small open space by the lake, and there was a looming path behind this place, which was probably the beast road that the old history said.

"Well, what kind of footprints are these?" Huang Shi stuffed another slice of bread into his mouth, squatted down to check, and saw that there were some very light and shallow marks on the ground, some like dog footprints, but they were larger, more slender and longer, and the claw tip marks were also deeper.

Swenbo only glanced at it for a moment, and then replied, "These are the footprints of a wild wolf." ”

"What do the bear's footprints look like?" Yellowstone stood up and looked at the ground around him, as if there were footprints and traces of these wild wolves, and even a few pieces of their stool.

"The bear's footprint is a large circle with four small circles around it."

"Then there doesn't seem to be any here." Huang Shi looked at it, it stands to reason that the height and weight of the black bear, if it has left footprints, then the footprints are deeper than the footprints of the wild wolf.

Swenbo scratched his head, "yes, but let's follow this trail." ”

Perhaps by luck, after a morning of searching, they finally saw some crooked footprints on the ground that did not look like footprints in a landslide area with excellent conditions.

This time, Shi Wenbo squatted on the ground, and he gestured to the footprints on the ground and said to Huang Shi and Bai Xiaohei, "There are at least two or more bears here, one male and one female. ”

Huang Shi saw that the footprints on the ground were about the same size, and he might be able to tell the number, but how could Lao Shi know whether the Lu Dao family was male or female, so he was more curious, "How do you know the Lu Dao?" ”

"Ha Luha, it turns out that the last time I followed someone to hunt, the hunting guide said, the footprints of the same size, the male is deep and the female is shallow."

"Oh, I see." Huang Shi looked again, and the footprints seemed to be a little deep and shallow.

"If there is that guide, he can tell us how big this bear is."

Because of the abundance of plants here, Shi Wenbo said that it is definitely the canteen of the big bear, so just wait here, but unfortunately they waited patiently for more than half an hour, and still did not find any trace of the bear, only saw a few sneaky white-tailed deer in the woods.
