Chapter 57: The Perilous Woods
boldly shook the rain on the umbrella in his hand, and got into the tent, thinking in his heart, there are unforeseen circumstances, he and Qin Cang arrived in this woods when the sky was still clear, but they didn't expect that after finding a place to settle down and setting up the tent, it actually rained directly, and he just went to throw away some garbage, and he could wet his trouser legs.

Then back inside the tent, Bold complained.
"What the hell is this weather, it seems that you can't do anything tonight, speaking of which, Qin Cang, fortunately, you have something to prepare for the rainy day this time, otherwise we will be drenched like last time, and now let's talk about what happened last time, you haven't told me all the time, I always feel that after that time, it seems that something has changed."
"It's nothing, last time you just fell asleep for a long time because of the rain and cold, and nothing special happened, so you don't have to pay attention to it, this is close to the forest farm, you should remember what the forest ranger said when we arrived in the afternoon, so I think tomorrow we should leave this place directly, search for it, it is estimated that there is no point."
Hearing Qin Cang's words, his bold thoughts couldn't help but go back to the afternoon, and he still remembered that they almost couldn't get in.
At noon, Qin Cang and the others left the road and walked to the left, according to the indication on the map, there would be a large forest not far ahead, and it was also within the reach of the ginseng hunters. Of course, the two still didn't speak, Qin Cang seemed to be trapped in all kinds of unexplainable things, and he couldn't think of any clue for a while, but he couldn't control himself, so he couldn't help but keep thinking about it. As for Daring, after the unpleasant conversation just now, he didn't dare to make a noise to disturb Qin Cang, although he was very curious whether Qin Cang was still worried about the matter of the Fountain of Youth.
More than an hour later, finally came to the destination, as far as the eye can see, there are lush trees everywhere, this is the first time, to the place where there is no mountain, a while ago boldly thought that only barren mountains will be infested with ginseng, now he knows, as long as it is a sparsely populated place, maybe there will be ginseng. This time, it was still the same, Qin Cang said as he stood in front of the woods.
"Let's go in first, or find a place to stay on the edge, and then look at the time, if it's still early, just search inside, I'm going to stay here for two days, if I don't find anything, I'll go through and move on to the next place, but, according to my understanding, this place is close to the forest farm, and it should be guarded, so once we encounter it, you must not make a sound, everything will be left to me, so as not to cause any more trouble, and I can't get out."
After finishing speaking, he took the lead in walking towards the woods, boldly pouting dissatisfiedly, why did Qin Cang say such a thing, could it be that he would only look for trouble and drag his feet, and even specially instructed him not to talk too much. However, having said that, since he did not allow himself to speak, it was better not to say it, so as not to make him unhappy again by something.
However, before they had gone far into the woods, the two of them were stopped, obviously, the person felt very strange about seeing Qin Canghe and Daring, although this place has been owned by the state, but when the errand has been for so long, it is rare to see people, even those who cut down trees without permission, they have not come in broad daylight, and after that incident, I believe that no one will dare to come here to cut down trees again.
"Who are you and why are you here"?
The man asked Qin Cang about the identities of the two with a vigilant face, and Qin Cang glanced at Daring, signaling him not to speak casually, and then stepped forward and replied.
"I'm sorry, we're just passing through here, you're a forest ranger guarding the woods, right?"
The man nodded, but of course he didn't believe Qin Cang's words, how could anyone pass by here, even if he crossed the past, it would take a long way to reach a place where there were people, and he should not give up the highway and not take it, but deliberately take a long detour through the woods where he didn't know anything, right? Even if they didn't believe it, the forest ranger could see that Qin Cang and the others were not here to destroy the trees, because they didn't have any means of transportation at all, and even if they cut down the trees, they couldn't transport them away, and after thinking for a while, they continued to speak.
"That's right, I'm in charge of guarding this place, let's say, what the hell do you do, how can anyone pass through this kind of place, but, as long as it's not a tree, in fact, I don't have the right to care whether you want to go over or not, but for the sake of safety, you better turn around and go back, it's very dangerous here, especially in the center, even I, a person who works here all year round, don't dare to enter easily."
Hearing this, Qin Cang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he thought that it would be so troublesome to enter the forest, presumably this forest ranger has been staying in this kind of place all the time, and he should have some degree of burnout in his work, and when he saw that he was not here to cut down trees, he would not bother to investigate the identity of any stranger, but what was the matter with danger? Intuition told Qin Cang that the rangers were not lying.
"The two of us are hikers, we have been through countless mountains and jungles, and we have accidentally seen many such places on the map, so we have to come to feel that urban life is very stressful, this is the two of us to relieve stress, you just mentioned, this jungle is dangerous, but I don't know what is dangerous? We've all made plans, and we can't just go back, so we still have to go in."
Obviously, Qin Cang still didn't tell the truth, but it was none of his business, and the forest guards didn't bother to ask them what their purpose was, as long as they didn't pose a threat to the trees here, they were happy to be idle, but since they were going in, they should still talk about the specific situation, so as not to fall into danger without knowing it.
"Since that's the case, then I won't stop you, this forest is not big, it's not small, if you use walking through, it is estimated that it will take a day and a half, originally, this place is very ordinary, for some reason suddenly appeared a lot of fierce wild animals, most of them inhabit in the depths, and generally do not come out, which is why, I will be sent to guard this forest where birds do not, in order to fear that someone like you who does not know the truth will break in and have an accident."
Hearing that this was the reason, the bold who had been silent was a little scared, knowing that maybe he had enough courage to face the supernatural things, but he couldn't face the attacks of those beasts, which would only make them die without a corpse. So he secretly tugged the corner of Qin Cang, Qin Cang turned his head, and when he saw his bold expression, he knew that this guy must be scared. However, this is also a part of what the ginseng catcher must go through, so after thinking about it for a while, Qin Cang still decided to go in. In desperation, boldness can only follow. Unexpectedly, as soon as the tent was set up, the sky was overcast, and soon it began to rain heavily.
