As a forest ranger, Su Ran considered protecting the forest an honor. Today, he is also proud of his current job.
After Su Ran went up the mountain with Dahei and a hunting rifle on his back, he would also pay attention to the wild delicacies in the mountains.
It's really his occupational disease that has kicked in.
"I used to pick some wild delicacies when I patrolled the mountains. Now I feel a little uncomfortable if I don't do that."
Su Ran, who was broadcasting live, couldn't help but joke with the audience.
"Brother Su, I think it's normal for you to do this. After all, Changbai Mountain is not only beautiful, but also rich in natural resources."
"Especially ginseng resources. In the deep mountains and old forests of Changbai Mountain, the growth environment of ginseng is unique, so the amount of ginseng here is very abundant."
After seeing this explanation in the barrage, some viewers curiously asked Su Ran if it was true.
Su Ran nodded to indicate that the audience was right.
"The climatic conditions in Changbai Mountain are very suitable for the growth of ginseng. The temperature here is moderate, the humidity is appropriate, and the sunlight is sufficient but not too strong, providing the best growth environment for ginseng."
"The soil in Changbai Mountain is also very suitable for the growth of ginseng. It is rich in organic matter and minerals, providing sufficient nutrients for ginseng."
It can be said that there are many varieties of ginseng in Changbai Mountain, both wild and artificially cultivated.
Wild ginseng has more significant medicinal effects because of the natural and pure environment in which it grows, and is known as the "immortal grass".
Although the growth cycle of artificially cultivated ginseng is shorter, its quality is also very good due to the use of scientific planting techniques and management methods.
Ginseng from Changbai Mountain is not only well-known in China, but also has a high reputation in the international market.
So it can be said that it is very lucky to find a ginseng.
"I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to find a ginseng plant."
Su Ran laughed, his eyes searching the woods.
As he was traveling through dense forests and rugged mountain roads, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a strange plant.
I don’t know if it was really God’s blessing on me, but Su Ran really saw a hint that there was ginseng not far away.
The plant grows on a secluded hillside, surrounded by dense bushes.
Su Ran walked closer and found that it was a wild ginseng, and it looked very ancient.
He observed the ginseng carefully and found that its rhizome was thick and strong, and its leaves were green and smooth.
He touched the surface of the ginseng with his fingers and felt its hard and elastic texture. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is a hundred-year-old ginseng!"
Centennial ginseng is an extremely precious Chinese medicinal material and is considered to have extremely high medicinal value.
It is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine and is believed to nourish the body, enhance immunity, delay aging, etc.
Su Ran knew that this century-old ginseng was not only valuable, but its existence itself was a very meaningful thing.
The audience couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my god, Brother Su, you are so lucky."
"Just average, third in the world."
Su Ran wanted to be humble, but unexpectedly a pile of bird droppings suddenly fell from the branch above his head.
I looked up and saw it was a gray sparrow.
"This guy seems a little angry." After hearing Su Ran say this, the audience suddenly didn't understand.
"No, Brother Su, you didn't provoke it, why is it angry?"
"I mean, did you steal its eggs or dig up its nest? How dare you get angry? It's totally incomprehensible."
The audience was standing up for Su Ran, but Su Ran himself knew very well why the gray bird was angry.
"You may not know that the gray sparrow likes to eat ginseng very much. Generally, many ginsengs in the forest that have not been discovered by humans will be discovered by the gray sparrow first."
"But most of the time, before they even start tasting the delicious ginseng, humans will grab it first, which makes the gray sparrow hate humans very much."
Especially now, this gray bird is obviously guarding this ginseng, perhaps wanting to taste it in a few days.
Who would have thought that by such a coincidence, this human would discover it first so quickly.
The gray bird seemed unhappy with Su Ran's presence and decided to take action to drive him away.
It jumped around Su Ran, making sharp calls from time to time. This sound was particularly harsh in the quiet environment, making Su Ran feel uneasy and irritated.
Su Ran tried to ignore the presence of the gray bird, but as time went on, its pecking sounds got closer and closer, and even began to touch Su Ran's body.
Su Ran felt a sharp pain, which made him realize that the gray bird's behavior had gone beyond the normal range.
Su Ran tried to comfort the gray bird with gentle actions, hoping to establish a peaceful coexistence with it.
However, the sparrow did not seem to understand his good intentions and continued to peck and make sharp calls.
"Looks like I have to find a way to scare it."
Su Ran noticed some branches and leaves nearby, so he decided to use them to make some noise in the hope of scaring away the gray sparrow.
Su Ran picked up a branch and began to knock on nearby trees and the ground, making a loud sound. This sound echoed in the open environment, frightening the gray bird.
It looked around, as if looking for the source of the sound.
But this graybird didn't seem to want to leave.
However, just when Su Ran failed to drive away the gray bird, a white-browed pit viper suddenly appeared.
This is the white-browed pit viper that the ginseng guards are most afraid of encountering. After all, the venom of this venomous snake is very strong. Any animal bitten by it has almost no chance of survival if it does not receive timely treatment.
This snake is the legendary ginseng-guarding snake.
In the live broadcast room, some viewers living near Changbai Mountain said.
"Brother Su, you are so lucky that you actually encountered a mountain-guarding snake."
"There is a saying in our local area that wherever there is ginseng, there must be poisonous snakes. At this time, you must pay attention to two points. The first is not to get bitten, and the second is not to actively attack it."
For many people who are looking for ginseng, the white-browed pit viper is obviously the target of many ginseng pickers' prevention. Changbai Mountain can be said to be the hometown of the white-browed pit viper, where it reproduces and lives.
Moreover, the white-browed pit viper has been listed as one of the top ten venomous snakes. It is also the most poisonous snake in the Changbai Mountain area and has the title of "King of Poison". An adult white-browed pit viper can reach about 1 meter in length and has a relatively sturdy body.
Judging from the appearance of the white-browed pit viper, its head is triangular, and its head features are just like its name. There are two white stripes above its eyes that extend to the back of its neck, just like its eyebrows.
Most white-browed pit vipers are brown or reddish brown in color, with two rows of light reddish brown and dark brown round spots on their backs, which are naturally intended to protect themselves from being discovered.
Its abdomen is light white and dark brown, and its tail is black. These characteristics are quite obvious. This snake is also widely distributed. It can be found in the plains and hilly areas in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and most of them still exist in the Changbai Mountain area. (End of this chapter)
