I didn't tell anyone about the instant extinguishment of the five incense sticks.

I silently followed the back of the whole team, always vigilantly looking in the direction where the rustling sound was coming as I went.

I have lived in the plains of the Yellow River Valley since I was a child, and even when I walked here and there as an adult, I have never seen such dense forests.

All of a sudden, I had a fear of nature from the bottom of my heart.

However, I have one good thing about this person, that is, I have a strong ability to adapt to the environment, and at first I was quite afraid, even if I jumped at the foot of a grasshopper, I would tremble.

But as time goes by, this kind of thing seems to be more commonplace, and the reason is that this is the Great Khing'an Mountains, which has the richest biodiversity in the whole country, and there is nothing I can't think of here, and there is nothing I can't see.

Slowly I got used to the dense forest, and even when a hare or a snake passed by my feet, I no longer felt frightened and afraid.

Slowly, I forgot all about the extinguishment of the five incense sticks.

Our group traveled all day in the dense forest, and finally arrived at the forest ranger station that Brother Leopard said.

On the way, I asked about the forest ranger station, and Brother Leopard said that the Daxing'an Mountains area is one of the few primeval forests in our country.

In addition to hundreds of species of animals, there are also many extremely valuable plants.

In order to maintain the original forest appearance of the Great Khing'an Mountains and put an end to illegal logging and poaching, the state set up a forest ranger station in the Great Khing'an Mountains.

The so-called forest ranger station is actually a small wooden house located in the middle of the forest.

There are a total of three people in the forest ranger station, one is forty or fifty years old, is the stationmaster of this forest ranger station, the specific name is not clear, anyway, Brother Leopard and the sixth master call him Zhang stationmaster, I heard that he has been guarding this ridge here for more than 20 years.

The remaining two people are all young people, in their twenties, and they said that they were sent by the local forestry bureau to assist Station Manager Zhang, and they rotate every three months, and now we are just about to reach their rotation period.

In other words, they will leave the forest ranger station and change to two new people to stay with Station Master Zhang for another three months, which seems to mean the same as an internship after graduating from college students.

I've always questioned why I went into the primeval forest of the Great Khing'an Mountains to look for people, so why did I have to wrap up my bags as if I was moving.

It wasn't until I met Station Chief Zhang that I realized that more than two-thirds of the equipment we shouldered was prepared for the forest ranger station.

After being received, I opened it and found that it was full of things like firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, and so on, not some daily necessities and medicines.

It is taboo to march at night no matter when and where you are, let alone in this ancient and mysterious primeval forest, and if you walk around at night, you will end up with no bones left.

For Stationmaster Zhang, seeing such a person at once really made him very happy.

On the same day, a large table of good wine and food was brought to entertain us.

The sixth master and Brother Leopard seem to be very familiar with Stationmaster Zhang, and it is really not happy to change the cup.

We young people were a little unsociable, but out of politeness, we ate and drank together until the end of the night.

There is only one wooden house at the ranger station, and although it looks pitifully small from the outside, it is quite spacious inside.

Separated by a wooden wall, one side is a place to work and eat, and the other side is a very long ondol, which is the only one in this wooden house that is not made of wood.

At night, the temperature in this primeval forest is even lower, or we are worried that we will not adapt to this temperature, so Stationmaster Zhang burned the kang so hot, not to mention how comfortable it was to lie on it.

Although there were nine of us in total, it was more than enough to lie on the fire.

So much so that there was a space between the seven of us men and two women as the dividing line, and we didn't feel crowded at all.

After a day's drive in the primeval forest like an old forest in the mountains, we were already sleepy and tired, and the hot kang was hot, so we fell asleep not long after lying down.

I don't know how long it was, maybe because I slept lightly, I actually heard a loud noise, and then the voice of two people whispering.

It was dark in the wooden house, but after getting used to it, I could vaguely see two blurred figures.

I know that those two figures are the rangers who follow Stationmaster Zhang to protect the Great Xing'an Mountains.

"Hey, how about it, you won't be discovered, right?"

"Don't worry, I've drunk a lot of wine, and I slept like dead pigs and couldn't wake up."

"That's good, then hurry up, this is a good opportunity, do some secretly, and when we go back, we will get rich!"

"Hahahaha, I'm rich!"

"Shhh

The two of them talked in a whisper, and then the two of them put on their shoes and clothes, and walked out of the room cautiously.

I don't want to worry about other people's affairs, but I always feel that these two young rangers seem to have some ulterior secrets, what is it to make a fortune by doing a little, is it possible that there are really ancient tombs in this dense primeval forest.

Thinking of this, I still felt a little sleepy, tiptoed off the kang, grabbed my clothes and carefully followed out.

The outside of the cabin was dark, frighteningly dark, and the moon was heavily obscured in the night sky overhead.

How dark it is, even if two people face each other, it is unlikely that they will find each other's existence, which is the terrible thing about the primeval forest.

When I got out of the cabin, my eyes were black, and I didn't know where they were, but fortunately I saw the light of two flashlights not far ahead, and I knew that they were the two rangers.

The two rangers walked deeper into the forest, as if they were carrying something on their backs, and their long silhouettes could only be faintly discerned.

Perhaps curious about the mysterious actions of the two rangers, I walked alone in the dark forest and felt nothing to fear.

I stumbled and followed from a distance, one foot deeper, one foot shallow, and I don't know how far I had followed, when the two rangers suddenly stopped.

I watched the light of the flashlight flicker from afar, and I didn't know what the two guys were doing, so I quietly got closer, intending to get a closer look.

With the help of this dark natural barrier, I secretly pulled the distance to within ten meters.

Click......!

If you accidentally stepped on a fallen branch, it made a crisp sound.

In the daytime, it would be a trivial and inconspicuous sound, but in this deathly silent night, it would sound so harsh and creepy.

"Who, who's there?"

Or I heard something strange, and the two rangers shone their flashlights at my location almost at the same time.

Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough to lie down and hide in the weeds, otherwise I would have been discovered by these two cautious guys.

"There's going on over there!"

I was quick to hide, but the grass around me was in a commotion, and the two rangers had apparently seen the commotion and were now walking towards my location.

At that moment, I vaguely saw that the two rangers were holding compound bows in their hands.

I've seen the two compound bows, and I've asked them when I'm eating and drinking, and they say that in order to keep themselves safe, the bureau specially distributes them to scare the poachers or thieves who are poaching or logging.

Of course, the reason why they are equipped with compound bows is because they are young and not qualified enough, and he is different from the stationmaster, he has a double-barreled shotgun, although it is a little old, but it is also a weapon of great destruction.
