Chapter 99: Release the King Cobra, damn old man and old woman! (55)

Patrolling the mountains and protecting the forests is a very important responsibility. In addition to protecting the green mountains and clear waters, we must also ensure the safety of people’s property.

After feeding the fish, Su Ran went home to pack up his equipment. After taking the indispensable telescope, he called out to Dahei, "Dahei, let's go."

"There are two rangers from the station patrolling with me this time. Dahei, you have to be more obedient and cooperate with them if anything happens."

Dahei roared happily at Su Ran. This big guy was very obedient. Su Ran patted its back and said, "Let's go."

Mantou was still taking a nap, so Su Ran didn't disturb him.

As soon as he walked out of the yard, Su Ran saw Li Manchuan and several villagers coming over. Su Ran greeted them and said, "Uncle Manchuan, are you going to the mountains to look for mountain products again?"

"Yes, the weather is nice today, so let's see if there are any good things in the mountains. If all else fails, we can just pick some mushrooms to eat." Li Manchuan smiled naively.

Li Manchuan and the villagers had climbed the mountain once before, but they returned empty-handed and even almost had a fight with a lynx.

But after several days, Li Manchuan and the villagers became more and more unwilling to accept the result.

I wonder why Xiaoran can make a fortune by relying on Lin Hai, but these uncles and aunts can’t?

A wooden bridge has been built at the foot of Linhai Mountain. It was built earlier by Su Ran and Li Manchuan.

Although it is quite simple, just a few pieces of wood put together and then nailed with boards horizontally, the bridge deck is very solid and there is no problem for several people to pass through at one time.

Su Ran took a closer look at the clear stream and kicked a stone into it. Ripples appeared on the water surface and the stone slowly sank.

Then the salmon swam over quickly from somewhere.

Damn it, how dare you play tricks on me?

After discovering that it was a stone, he turned around in disappointment and swam away again.

Su Ran found it funny. This idiot seemed to love eating. He had just been fed.

Because he and Su Ran had to go to the forestry station first, which was not the same direction as Li Manchuan, he said to Li Manchuan before entering the mountain: "Uncles, be more careful after entering. If you encounter wild animals, just leave and don't take risks."

"Just call me if anything happens. I've been in the forest all day."

"Yeah." Li Manchuan responded.

The two forest rangers had been waiting for Su Ran at the station for a long time.

One is an old employee of the forest farm who is about 30 years old, and the other is a college student who should have just graduated not long ago, and the childishness on his face has not yet faded.

"Hello, stationmaster. I'm Zhou Kang. You can just call me Old Zhou. I often hear Old Zheng mention you." He patted the shoulder of the young man next to him. "This is our new brother at the station. His name is Diwu Wangyang."

"Hello, webmaster. I'm Diwu Wangyang. You can call me Wangyang or Xiaowang," said the young man named Diwu Wangyang, who was wearing a pair of glasses and looked a little restrained.

It was like this for the first time at work. Su Ran was very cautious when dealing with colleagues in her previous work. One reason was that she was afraid of saying or doing something wrong, and the other was that she was not familiar with them.

It will be fine after a long time.

"This is the first time I've seen this last name," Su Ran smiled, "We'll be colleagues from now on, so it's okay to relax a little."

At this moment, netizens in the live broadcast room became curious babies.

"Fifth?...Fifth Personality activated!"

"What? Is this a stage name you gave yourself?"

"Brother, you are stupid. Did you know that you cannot pass the civil service exam if you play Identity V III?"

Su Ran smiled and said, "The fifth is a compound surname among our Chinese surnames. It is very rare and originated during the Han Dynasty. I won't explain the details. If you want to know more, you can search it online."

Everyone in the forestry station knew that Su Ran enjoyed live streaming, and Diwu Wangyang had also heard Zheng Yuanpeng talk about it.

So he and Lao Zhou didn't feel strange when they saw Su Ran talking to himself.

Moreover, Diwu Wangyang admires Su Ran very much. After all, many people would be surprised to hear his name and even ask if it is true.

However, Su Ran was the first person to know his last name, and it was obvious that he knew a lot about it.

In addition, Su Ran is only two years older than him, but he is the webmaster of the forestry station and also a formal staff member. This is also the point that Diwu Wangyang envies the most.

There are many mosquitoes in the forest during this season, so the three of them put on camouflage jackets at the forestry station, equipped themselves with walkie-talkies, put on red armbands for duty, and began to officially patrol the mountains.

Lao Zhou walked in front of Su Ran with a shotgun on his back, and Diwu Wangyang carried a black backpack with some emergency supplies and tools in it.

Dahei followed obediently behind, and the group was ready to deal with any emergency in this forest.

As the stationmaster, Su Ran also explained today's work content to the two people: "Now the most important task of our daily forest protection is to pay attention to some tourists who accidentally get lost in the forest."

"Some are outdoor adventure enthusiasts, and some are people who just want to take a look in the forest, but find they can't get out. The first thing these people do when they find them is to take them out."

"In addition, we must pay attention to fire prevention and control. If we encounter anyone with suspicious behavior, we must not only take them out, but also carefully question their identity."

Lao Zhou and Wang Yang said in unison: "Understood, Station Master."

The purpose of questioning identity is simple, which is to prevent poachers from scouting the forest.

"In fact, patrolling the mountains and protecting the forests may seem boring and easy, it's nothing more than wandering around, but our duties are pretty much the same as those of ordinary police patrols."

Just like Su Ran and his team have to be prepared for possible emergencies at any time. In addition to passers-by in danger, there is also the possibility of encountering poachers engaging in illegal activities.

Generally speaking, if poachers encounter nearby villagers, they may just scare them away with guns.

Once they meet the forest rangers, a gunfight and bloody fight in the forest is inevitable.

After climbing up a hillside, Su Ran picked up a telescope and looked towards the foot of the mountain.

There was nothing particularly unusual in the forest, and the winding mountain road was filled with cars coming and going, making the scene quite peaceful.

"The view from the top of the mountain is great. Looking down from here, you can take in all the beauty of the forest."

Through the camera, netizens saw a clear stream winding down the mountain in the east. It was like a silver ribbon, quietly stretching through the depths of the lush forest.

The river water sparkled in the sunlight, and on both sides of the river were lush trees that were tall and straight. Their branches and leaves were intertwined to form a natural green dome, providing a shady and quiet passage for the river.

As the breeze blows, the leaves sway gently, making a rustling sound.

This situation and scene is actually very soothing.

Su Ran smiled leisurely and said, "There are many similar scenes in the North Forest Sea, and there are even more different ones."

"Beilinhai is world-famous for its rich natural resources, unique geographical landscape and long history and culture."

"The terrain here is complex, with plateaus, mountains, hills and plains."

“Every place has its own unique and magnificent beauty.”

Old Zhou put one foot on a stone, carrying a hunting rifle on his back, and looked at the beautiful mountains and rivers of his motherland. Although he had seen such scenery countless times, he still felt happy in his heart.

Wang Yang opened his arms and closed his eyes as if he wanted to embrace the entire forest. He took a deep breath through his nose, savoring the fragrance of leaves and flowers brought by the wind.

"It seems like you're enjoying it." Su Ran unscrewed the water lid and handed it over.

"Thank you," Wang Yang said with great emotion, "I have loved nature since I was a child. I went to a forestry university. When I was in school, I thought that after graduation, I must come to Beilinhai to be a forest ranger."

For some reason, Su Ran admired him very much. After all, he knew what he wanted from the beginning and dared to take action.

Like Su Ran, he also likes the breath of freedom, but he has to struggle in the city for a living. If he didn't have the system, he would probably still be working like a slave for the black-hearted capitalists.

"But the salary of forest rangers is not high, and it is difficult for them to come into contact with people of the same age and the opposite sex. Your family won't say anything, right?" Perhaps thinking of his parents' opposition at the beginning, Su Ran couldn't help asking.

Wang Yang looked at the other side of the mountain with a longing look, and said, "It's not bad. The contract I signed with the Forestry Bureau can earn me about 100,000 yuan a year. Living in this mountain doesn't cost much, so it's enough to support myself and I can save a lot."

"As for socializing, I don't pay much attention to it. My parents are definitely against it, but I don't regret it. It's just a pity that the internal competition is quite serious now and I haven't been able to get a job."

Wang Yang's hometown is Shandong. He thinks that as long as he has a regular job, his parents will not say anything even if he only earns 2,000 yuan a month, and will even strongly support him.

"But life is short, there is no need to weigh gains and losses. Just look at the scene in front of you, everything is worth it."

Feeling the gentle breeze blowing on their faces, Su Ran and his three companions all felt as if they were in a spring breeze.

However, at this moment, the intercom rang.

"Zizizi...Stationmaster Su, there is an emergency in the forest near the G30 Panshan Highway. Please go and handle it!"

The three people's intercoms rang at the same time.

Su Ran’s phone also happened to vibrate.

I took out my cell phone and saw that it was Grandpa Gao from the village calling.

Su Ran couldn't help but become worried: "Hey, Uncle Gao, did something happen to you guys?"

An anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiaoran, your uncle Manchuan was bitten by Guo Shanfeng."

"Ah?" Su Ran's heart almost jumped out of his throat.

However, I heard a voice in the background on the other end of the phone saying, "What's going on, Lao Gao? It's a black-necked snake."

Su Ran was confused all of a sudden, and led Lao Zhou and the others down the mountain while asking, "Is it crossing the mountain or the black-necked snake?"

Just over the mountain is the King Cobra, a highly venomous snake.

The black-necked snake is a non-venomous snake.

Logically speaking, the appearances of these two snakes are very different. Grandpa Gao went into the mountains many times when he was young, so it is impossible for him to confuse these two snakes.

"Oh, yes, Xiaoran was bitten by a black-banded snake. But there are indeed many overpasses here. I'm afraid he ran into a snake den today."

The phone was suddenly hung up. Su Ran felt relieved when he heard that Uncle Manchuan was bitten by a black-necked snake.

But how could there be a peak at the foot of the mountain?
You should know that there are no king cobras in the Northeast. This kind of snake is only distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Sichuan, and only in the south.

The northern region is not distributed because of the low temperature that cannot meet the survival needs of the king cobra.

Su Ran was too anxious and subconsciously used his body skills, leaving Lao Zhou and the others far behind.

I just heard Lao Zhou yelling, "Stationmaster, the forestry station just said that they found through surveillance that a group of old women and old men parked their car on the winding mountain road and released snakes into the forest."

Hearing this, Su Ran almost rolled down the hillside.

It must be the good things done by these people.

"No? They are sick!" Su Ran was simply unbelievable. He felt that he would sit up and curse every time he thought about this in his sleep.

Not only him, but also netizens were stunned.

"Old men and old ladies are really restless these days. I suspect that these people are Buddhists."

"I don't know whether you believe in Buddhism or not, but Buddha will never accept fools as his followers. Can he survive if he crosses the mountain and is released to the north?"

Su Ran was really drunk. When he got to the foot of the mountain, he saw the villagers supporting Uncle Manchuan and hurried over.

"Is Uncle Manchuan okay?"

Li Manchuan smiled and waved his hands: "It's okay, I was bitten by a black-banded snake, and I just twisted my ankle accidentally and can't walk anymore."

It was a rare opportunity for Grandpa Gao to rest. He pointed to the back of the forest and panted, "I saw... I saw a damn ghost. I'm afraid this is the appearance of the snake fairy. There are so many of them over the mountain, so dense that they are almost piled up."

Su Ran couldn't help but look at Li Manchuan, squatting down to help him straighten his bones. Uncle Manchuan said with a bitter face: "Well, there are indeed many mountain snakes. I just saw a mountain snake eating a black snake, and out of curiosity, it was accidentally bitten by another black snake...hiss."

With a crisp sound, Li Manchuan gritted his teeth and found that his feet didn't hurt anymore.

"Okay, I've learned some veterinary medicine and I've recovered." Su Ran patted Li Manchuan's leg.

Although this sounded strange, Li Manchuan was extremely grateful to Su Ran.

"Uncle, you guys go back first, just leave this to me."

"Well, Cheng, Xiaoran, you have to be careful."

After Li Manchuan and the others left, Su Ran looked towards the direction of the road sternly.

The mountains and forests are filled with a large number of king cobras, which are creepy just by looking at them.

Some of them noticed Su Ran and the other two, and immediately raised their upper bodies, flexed their neck muscles, and made attacking gestures.

Their heads are sensitive and move along with Su Ran and the others, making hissing sounds to warn them.

This matter is not something that the three forest rangers can handle.

The forestry station quickly called the fire department, and police from Daqing Town also rushed over.

A group of people met up on the highway, and some people had already started putting up warning signs on the road.

The firefighters who got off the parked fire truck began to put on fireproof suits.

The deputy director who got out of the police car found Su Ran immediately.

"Hello, Comrade Su Ran. I am Wang Zhibin, the newly appointed deputy director of the branch office who was transferred to Daqing Town. I have heard of your great name for a long time."

After introducing himself, the young deputy director, who was born in the 1990s, got straight to the point: "A firefighter has already gone in to check. There are a lot of snakes, probably hundreds of them, and because they were all released together, they are still clumped together."

"I have already communicated with the fire chief. It is not a good idea to go in and catch the snakes directly in this situation. We can only wait until the snakes disperse a little bit before the firefighters can wear fireproof suits and go in to catch the snakes."

"But if we do that, we might miss a lot." Su Ran pointed out the problem.

Wang Zhibin was also very distressed: "Well, this is indeed a big problem, but there seems to be no other way at the moment. King cobras are very fierce. If they attack in groups, the personal safety of firefighters cannot be guaranteed."

Hearing this, Su Ran felt overwhelmed and couldn't help but complain, "Why didn't they bite those old men and women to death when they released the snakes?"

Wang Zhibin didn't say anything after hearing this. After all, he thought the same thing. He just said, "Our people have already arrested the person based on the license plate number."

Netizens were even more outraged.

"If they are caught, they should be severely punished. It is a waste of public resources and puts other people in danger!"

"I really have too much pension and have nowhere to spend it. Instead of using the money to buy snakes and release them, it would be better to donate it to poor children."

Looking at the fully armed firefighters waiting for the snakes to disperse, Su Ran felt that waiting like this was not a solution.

"Wang Suo, would it be convenient for you to bring Dahei to my house and bring the suona for me?"

Wang Zhibin was stunned for a moment, looked at the big black beside Su Ran, and said immediately: "Of course it's convenient!"
