Things don't always happen when you're ready.

The last rays of light disappeared with the sound, and the rainforest was plunged into a terrifying darkness that almost lifted my throat.

The same place, different time, and completely different gunshots brought me a very similar shock.

I've been a soldier, I've carried a gun, I've shed blood, I've stood guard, and although fear is human, it's only a few seconds before I've forced my heartbeat to calm down. I took out the fruit knife I had prepared in my backpack and held it with my backhand, and with the other hand I held the steel shovel for self-defense, and leaned down in the direction of the gunfire and slowly moved forward.

After more than four years, I didn't expect my nerves to tense up again in this rainforest because of the gunshots.

Judging by the strength of the sound, the distance of the gunshot should not exceed 300 meters, and the loud and muffled gunfire should not be a rifle or a pistol, it should belong to a shotgun, what happened?

My eyes finally got used to the darkness, and by the afterglow of dusk, I couldn't fully discern the scenery around me, and I stepped very lightly, walking and stopping.

"Boom, click...", the sound was urgent, and the echo of branches and fallen leaves being trampled could be heard in the dense forest not far away. The sound is extremely irregular, fast in frequency but slow in approach, like an injured pace.

Approaching, approaching... I had to lean down, the faint silhouette of the forest getting closer and closer, and I had to turn sideways to hide my figure in the shadows of the trees.

The sound of rapid breathing and irregular footsteps made the stranger less than three meters away from me.

The man leaned over and looked back from time to time, but his feet did not stop. The left thigh seemed to be injured, and could only be dragged reluctantly, limping. The physical exertion of such a frequency of movement is probably quite large, and if it weren't for running for their lives, who would endure such a twisted movement and keep moving forward.

The wounded figure passed me and drifted away, the sound almost gone, replaced by a few vigorous and crisp footsteps.

"Don't let him run, look carefully." A hoarse and rugged voice.

The light was getting dimmer, the outlines around me were blurred, and all that was left was the light I could make out three men with sturdy steps, one of whom was holding a shotgun.

I hid behind a tree with bated breath as they chased the injured figure and faded away. Everything was calm in the end, I thought to myself that these people who passed by just now are definitely not good at stubble, there is no need to go to this troubled water, if you can't find clues about Liu Yi and the tiger, it is better to wait for the safety back to the town and call the police.

After a while, when the people just now were completely gone, I took advantage of the darkness to carefully walk slowly from the rainforest where I had fought towards the original entrance to the forest, trying to suppress the movement under my feet, and my mind still echoed the words of the old farmer in the village at noon, "It's better to go back to the town early before dark." ”

I haven't been here for a few years, and if it is true that the security in the neighborhood is getting worse and worse, and smuggling and drug trafficking are rampant again?

"Friend, help..."A weak voice suddenly drifted into my ears from the side, which suddenly made me nervous, my hair stood on end, and the steel shovel in my hand was held more tightly.

Gazing intently, a figure was lying on a dirt slope not far away, surrounded by thick bushes, and it would never have been noticed if he hadn't taken the initiative to call out.
