Visiting Duan Erye to no avail, I quickly rushed back to Yishiju. As a result, when I just walked to the gate of the antique store in Yishiju, I heard a very lively sound from inside, and it was estimated that there were many people who signed up today, so I hurriedly pushed the door open.

After walking into the antique store, I found that there were three handsome Miao guys wearing colorful cardigan vests and gray scarves on their heads, all with kind smiles on their faces. In front of the three Miao guys, there was also a handsome man in a turtleneck sweater and a black windbreaker.

The handsome and resolute appearance of the man in black made people can't help but want to take a few more looks, but they were shocked by his dazzling eagle eyes, and they didn't dare to take a second look. When I saw the iconic cigarette, my mouth was about to grin to the root of my ears, and I immediately walked forward quickly and greeted the man in black warmly: "Brother Smoker, why are you here?" ”

When the smoke man saw me, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he replied to me with a very light smile: "It was Master and her old man who asked me to come." ”

The smoke man brought his senior brothers, a total of four people, to the alien residence to help, saying that it was his master's explanation. It is estimated that my master Fang Lao has informed Dian Po that all the smoking men came.

The fat man looked at the smoke man's brothers, smiled and whispered to me: "I just said that the relationship between the smoke man's female master and our master is not ordinary, and you still don't believe it." You see, for the first time in Yishiju, the smoke man's brothers and brothers came, which was really enough to save face. ”

I didn't bother to pay attention to the fat man's nonsense, and thought: The cigarette man is here, and my heart has landed. So the date of departure was set. Tell the monkey to inform some of the people on the list that they are ready to leave the day after tomorrow.

I asked the cigarette boy if he needed to prepare something. The cigarette man said that they had brought their own equipment and didn't need anything.

The fat man said excitedly, "Then what are you waiting for?" Lao Zheng has a treat, we just have to eat and drink well in the past two days, fill our stomachs, and then set off. ”

In the past, the fat man and I went down to the grave and fought, casually put on a backpack and left. Now that the aliens are in charge of the battle, I have to think about the food and accommodation along the way, and I also have to think about the planning of the route, so that my brain is not enough. But luckily, I have everyone around to help me. But just the pre-homework of the fight, I have already been exhausted, and I am so tired that I have lost a lot of weight.

When it was finally time to set off, I found that only Liu Shao had brought three of his subordinates, which shows that he is really used to playing with hypocrisy. However, Zha Ling'er, a daughter of a thousand gold, didn't even bring a single entourage, which was completely unexpected to me, and at the same time gave me a headache and thought: miserable. Along the way, we don't know how she has to call us?

There's one more person I'm a little concerned about. It was the King of Zhuge Locksmith, who greeted me in a very low-key manner, and then stood in the team without saying a word. I think the secret color porcelain box has been opened now, so there is no need to delve into the past. So smile at him and nod his head to welcome him.

We had fifteen people in our team, which happened to be three teams. They got into three vans hired in advance and set off directly to the northeastern Shanjiang Plain in Heilongjiang Province. Then the hired vehicle returns and begins to change horses.

The Sanjiang Plain extends to the Ussuri River in the east. Adjacent to the Xiaoxing'an Mountains in the west, we have to travel from east to west, through the Sanjiang Plain to the Xiaoxing'an Mountains, and finally to the Greater Xing'an Mountains area.

It is now the warmest and pleasant July in the Sanjiang Plain, and there are green grasses and endless meadows everywhere. The Sanjiang Plain is the largest swamp area in China, so the only thing to be careful about on the way is the ground beneath your feet. Because of the danger of the journey, we hired two local Hezhe guides.

The Hezhe are descendants of the Jurchens who are good at war, believe in shamanism, believe in animism, and worship ancestors and nature. They are particularly good at fishing, and in ancient times, the Hezhe people have always worn a fish skin dress made of salmon skin.

The two guides of the Hezhe clan, one of whom was a thin black man in his forties surnamed You, could see that he was a good hunter and kept his shotgun on his side. The other was a fat white young man in his twenties named Ugin, with a childish face, but I heard that he could read all kinds of herbs and beasts, and there was nothing in the plains and swamps that he did not know.

With the two guides, my heart is a lot more steady, and I feel that this hunt will definitely go very smoothly. This time, a total of sixteen or seventeen people came, not like the last time we went to Kunlun Mountain, the size of the team is very large, after all, the place we came here this time is not a poor mountain and bad water, and there is not much danger.

And with Ugin, a guide who is not amazing, everyone can walk through the swamp with great peace of mind. Because he can tell at a glance which plants are aquatic plants and which are native plants, so as to ensure the safety of everyone's travel. Because the bottom of the aquatic plants is usually a bottomless lake or low-lying water, once you sink into it, you may never get up again, so it is necessary to choose the vicinity of the native plants to avoid accidentally stepping into the swamp that swallows people.

However, before we set off, our guide, Brother, said to us, "Don't underestimate the horror of the swamps in the plains!" ”

The Sanjiang Plain has always been a good place for fishing and hunting, and everyone uses "the rod beats the roe deer and scoops the fish, and the pheasant flies to the rice pot" to describe the abundance of products here.

And the scenery here is even more beautiful. Clear water and green land, blue sky and white clouds, sparkling waves, countless beautiful and noble birds, flocks of carefree chasing and playing, a calm and peaceful attitude.

The fat man said with sincere admiration: "It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful place, and it's the first time I've seen a real mandarin duck playing in the water." ”

The Sanjiang Plain is the largest wetland in China, and in addition to the mossy swamps, there are beautiful reed swamps.

The blue and yellow reeds reflect the blue sky and the bright clear water below. When a flock of lonely geese fly by, it is really a stunning sight, so beautiful that you forget to breathe.

Since entering the wetland with fresh air and beautiful scenery, all people feel that the depths of their souls have been purified, and their bodies and minds are extremely refreshed.

Suddenly, a very sudden gunshot rang out from nowhere, slamming the originally peaceful and quiet atmosphere into nothing.

I screamed in my heart: No.

This time I went north to fight, I felt that the plains and swamps were not as dangerous as the mysterious Kunlun Mountain, and there were no guns prepared at all.

The little brother who smoked the cigarette has always had an iron rod in his hand, so he will not use a hot weapon at all. The others probably didn't carry hot weapons, but I suddenly remembered that before leaving, Liu Shao had mentioned this problem to me, and I swore that there was no need to bring hot weapons, but Liu Shao said that he would take care of it himself, and I estimated that he and his men should have carried guns and ammunition.

Now I don't know what kind of situation I encountered, anyway, the sudden gunshots will definitely not be a good thing.

Brother You, the guide, immediately waved his hand at everyone, signaled everyone to stop advancing, and then let the horses lie down, and everyone bent down to hide in the dense reeds.

You Gui lowered his voice and said to me, "I'll go to the front and have a look, you stay here, don't move." ”

I knew that Guide You was familiar with the terrain of the swamp, and it was safer for him to move alone, so I immediately nodded and motioned for everyone to stay where they were.

You Gui bent on his waist and disappeared into the eyes of the general in the reeds of half a human height, like a cheetah ready to feed.

"Bang" and another gunshot rang out, shaking a few low swamp willows in the distance, and the leaves kept trembling.

Everyone's faces were not very good-looking, and the fat man lowered his voice and said to me, "Lao Zheng, what's the matter?" How could anyone shoot here. ”

In a picturesque place, there would be gunshots, and I thought only one possibility.

Brother You, who came back soon, confirmed my idea, which was "poaching." ”

In the wetlands of the Sanjiang Plain, there are a large number of precious wild birds, including the red-crowned crane with a graceful posture and fairy bones, as well as the noble and beautiful whooper swan, the amphibious and flying herons and mandarin ducks, and the endangered Oriental white stork.

Although the state has clear laws and regulations, lawbreakers with interests still do not hesitate to take risks and harm innocent and holy lives. Driven by monetary interests, illegal hunting is difficult to effectively eradicate.

Unexpectedly, we had just stepped into a peaceful Sanjiang Plain, and we encountered ferocious poachers, and this trip to the north was definitely not as easy as imagined.

Brother You, the guide, said to everyone: "We had better avoid the poachers' march and fall line, the poachers are the most taboo to be discovered, we are vulnerable to murder, and there will be unnecessary battles." Even if you save your life, you may be looted, and the gains outweigh the losses, so you have to find a new way no matter what. ”

Our team didn't have to fear poachers at all, but in order to avoid unnecessary disputes, I felt like I was taking a detour and took out the map in my arms to look at it. If we want to avoid poachers, we must change the direction we are traveling, turning to the right side of the reed swamp.

The guide said that there was a swampy island forest on the right, and Ugin immediately said to me, "It would be nice to walk through the island forest." The island forest is the safest area in the swamp, but the island forest is adjacent to each other and the place is a river, so you spend most of your time soaking in waist-length water and wading through the water. ”

The weather in July was humid and muggy, and everyone thought it was better to wade through the water.

So the crowd began to march diagonally in the reedy swamp, turning to the north on the right.

When the team walked more than a mile away, they saw a reed clearing, scattered with white feathers as white as snow, and a dazzling stain of blood, which made people look sideways and feel a burst of sadness. (To be continued......)
