The swaying reeds in the sunset are very charming.

The leaves are green, swinging with the wind, if they are floating, if they are nothing, if they are like nothing, if they are acacia.

It's not, in a trance, just because the bird, which was once a peerless companion, unfortunately left quietly!

Leaving the reed swamps, rows and patches of island-like forests began to appear in front of me.

Brother You, the guide, said that if you go all the way north, you will be able to reach the Black Blind Island.

Black Blind Island is the border point between China and Russia, the largest island in the Heilongjiang River basin, and the first place in China to see the sun. It was once occupied by Soviet Russia, but now it has returned, and it is a very beautiful island.

Looking at the island forest from a distance, there are vast smoke waves everywhere, and clouds and mist are shrouded in the forest. The meandering stream divides the island forest, like a fairyland on earth. The occasional dragonfly flies by, like elves, shuttling through the verdant woods.

Everyone had to sigh from the bottom of their hearts again, such a beautiful swamp, and from time to time admired the freshness of the air, I really want to live here for a long time, and I will be able to stay until the gray hair is gone.

The reeds came to an end, and the people had to prepare to wade through the water before they could enter the island forest.

The fat man bent down and began to pull up his trouser legs, and the others also bent down or sat on the ground, ready to pull up their pants so that they would not get wet.

At this time, Brother You suddenly stopped everyone and said, "Don't pull up your trouser legs, but tie your trouser legs tightly." With that, he sat down on the ground and began to demonstrate to the people.

You first tucked all the cuffs into the socks, and then tied a wide strip of cloth around the opening of the socks. And explained: "The water in the swamp is parasitic with some nematodes and leeches, as well as ticks and mites. If you walk through the water for a long time. It is best to tie the trouser legs tightly. ”

Hearing that there were insects in the water, I couldn't help but frown when I saw Zha Laoqi. It is rumored that this elegant middle-aged man with a dashing demeanor. It seems to have a habit of cleanliness. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: It's not appropriate for a good son, you have to come here, what kind of sin is this?

When the fat man saw that Lao Qi was standing indifferent, he laughed and said to him: "Seventh Master, you are cowardly!" ”

Zha Lao Qi smiled very gently, "How come?" After saying that, he kept tying his trouser legs with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

We were in the reeds, less than a mile away from the nearest island forest. The river at your feet is not too deep, and it is very clear, so you can see it at a glance. But Guide You still said to me very cautiously: "Let everyone line up in a line, follow behind me, and slowly move forward." ”

I remember the advice of nature not to be underestimated, let alone the dangerous swamps, in which if you are not careful, you can be trapped forever. So I carefully asked Ugin to walk behind Guide You, so that I could mention Guide You. The two discussed moving forward, which was safer.

You Gui admired my steady and cautious personality, and I was very pleased to discuss everything first. I feel a lot more at ease.

Wading through the rivers and streams, unconsciously, has passed the twilight. At the beginning of night. After wading through the river, the team decided to camp for the night in an island forest of poplar trees. Keep going.

A few horses with their equipment tied to the edge of the woods. There are free streams and grass everywhere, so you don't have to worry about the food and grass of the horses.

Walking on the stagnant water, everyone walked into the poplar island forest.

When the island forest is viewed from the outside, it is beautiful, but after stepping inside, it is very painful for everyone.

There is not a clean and intact ground in the woods, and there are potholes everywhere, puddles of varying depths; There are also countless tree roots on the ground, some of which are reaching out of the ground with teeth and claws, and some of which are like snakes curling and hibernating. And all the roots of the trees on the bare ground were covered with slippery wood fungi and moss, and it was difficult for everyone to walk in the woods. However, we must camp in the forest tonight, and the guide said that it was safer. Everyone had to bite the bullet and hold on to the slippery tree, step by step towards the woods.

Finally, in the dense island forest, they found a relatively dry and open place, and everyone began to tie hammocks in the middle of the trunks.

The hammock was specially asked to go to the store to buy the hammock before entering the swamp, and now I think that Guide You is really prescient. It's impossible to pitch a tent in a waterlogged island, so it's great to sleep in a hammock suspended from the damp ground.

After tying the hammocks, everyone simply ate dry food, and then began to eat fruit oranges.

"There are a lot of mosquitoes in the swamp, and when the team rests on the first night, it must be difficult to sleep because of the mosquitoes. Orange peel has a good mosquito repellent effect and is still effective after drying. So when you go to bed, put the orange peel in the hammock and you can get a good night's sleep. After all, rest is the most important thing for a long journey, and only when you have a good rest can you have the spirit to rush and respond to any emergencies.

The faint moonlight poured into the woods, I lit the windbreak lamp, and everyone gathered around a clean ground and began to chat.

I saw that Zha Ling'er's pointed chin was covered with beads of sweat, so I asked with some concern, "Are you tired?" ”

Zha Ling'er looked at me with a pair of big watery eyes, blinked, and then shook her head with a smile and said, "I'm not tired at all, it's very interesting, it's beautiful here." ”

Zha Ling'er is the only girl in the team, and she is following a group of big men, and I am afraid that she will be inconvenient and unbearable. I care for her very much, but I am only in the position of my brother, and I care and love my little sister.

But others didn't think so, and as soon as they saw me chatting with Zha Ling'er, they all flashed to the side, directly isolating the two of us, and the intention was obvious.

After the meal, the smoker asked one of his junior brothers, a young man nicknamed Night Owl, to climb a tree to keep a sentry. I don't know what the big size of the night owl is called, he is wearing a colorful shoulder that depicts dragons and embroidered phoenixes, a pair of big eyes are very bright and bright, at first glance he is a very alert person, and his appearance is also very handsome and bright. The night owl clasped the tree in both hands and pressed his waist, and in a few strokes climbed a very tall mountain poplar tree, hidden in the dense branches. In the dim darkness of the night, even if you stand under the tree, you can't find his existence at all.

I walked up to the cigarette man, and just wanted to praise the cigarette man for being thoughtful and thoughtful. As a result, I suddenly heard two night owls (owls) crying in mid-air, "coo, coo, coo", and the man standing next to me immediately blew out the windproof lamp and signaled everyone to be quiet.

I knew that the owl's call just now was a warning signal from a smoke boy hiding in a tree and a night owl. But I didn't expect that just by talking, the dark whistle found an abnormality, how could it be so coincidental, could it be that it was dark and the vision was poor, and the smoke boy was dazzled?

However, when I thought of the younger brother of the smoke man, nicknamed "Night Owl", he must have been very outstanding in his nocturnal eyesight, so he got such a nickname. It can be seen that his warning must be a serious matter, and it is by no means groundless. I couldn't help but get nervous all over my body.

At this time, everyone was focused on the cigarette man beside me, and I saw him frowning, a pair of eagle eyes staring closely out of the woods.

Suddenly, a crisp sound of "click" immediately drilled into everyone's ears.

The cigarette man immediately spoke: "Spread out and hide behind a tree." Immediately, the crowd dispersed silently, and all of them hid in the darkness behind the trees.

At this time, the night owl in the tree made a few more owl calls, and I saw that the smoke man's brow furrowed even tighter. Seeing him wave his hand at the tree next to him, the other two juniors of the smoke man immediately flashed out of the darkness, and the cat waist walked in front of the smoke man. The smoke man whispered a few words to them, and they both nodded, and disappeared into the dark woods.

I'm confused now, because I can't understand the code between the smoke man's brother and sister, so I have to look at the smoke man. He lowered his voice and said to me, "Someone." ”

I don't know who it is, but the people who wander through the swamp woods in the middle of the night are definitely not idle people.

The two brothers of the tobacco man soon returned, and one of them, a bronzed-skinned and seemingly very healthy young man, said to the tobacco man and me, "Poachers." ”

My brain buzzed, and my heart said, "That's bad luck." During the day, in order to avoid poachers, they choose to take a long detour and burrow into the woods. In the end, I had to meet each other, which was a real headache for me.

The bronzed-skinned young man suddenly raised his hand in front of his neck and asked me, "Do you want to do it?" ”

I looked at his sword eyebrows and said in my heart: How to do it? People have guns, and we don't even have a burning stick, so how can we fight with them. Still, I held the Vajra in my hand, just in case, ready to go to war at any time.

Poachers are a group of profit-minded, open-minded and ruthless people. If we attack them now, I think we have a good chance of winning, after all, the first strike is stronger, and the second strike will suffer. I unknowingly had such a murderous intention. It turns out that I don't know when I have become decisive and cold.

At this time, Brother You came from behind the tree and said to me, "Harmony is precious, everyone stay safe, I'll talk about it and see if there is a turnaround." ”

The fat man was already tense, his face was full of murderous energy, he approached me and said: "What to talk about, sneak attack while it is dark, win and not lose." ”

I think what the fat man said is very reasonable, those vicious poachers will never make peace with us, and there is no need to talk in vain. However, Guide You's attitude was resolute, and I had no choice but to order everyone to hide behind the trees, and be ready to fight at any time.

The footsteps outside the woods were noisy, and it seemed that there were quite a few people in the poachers' ranks, and if they did fight, they would inevitably fight a dangerous battle. (To be continued......)
