Chapter 97 Red Star Forest Farm
Ling Zikai looked at the information of Hongxing Forest Farm and found that there was a bridge built one kilometer downstream along the Yunhai River.

It was first built in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty and was washed away by floods several times.

The most recent one was repaired by members of the then Yunhai People's Commune in the 60s. After the completion, it was named "Red Star Bridge".

I don't know whether the name of the bridge was taken from the Hongxing Forest Farm, or the name of the forest farm was chosen after the name of the bridge, anyway, there is no way to verify it.

Approaching the Red Star Bridge, everyone discovered that the bridge was originally built with a combination of stone and wood.

At both ends of the bridge are approach bridges made of stone blocks, 50 to [-] meters long, and the middle section is made of wood more than [-] meters long and [-] centimeters in diameter.

The bridge deck has a width of about 1.5 meters and is more than two meters above the water.

Because it is located in a mountain forest, few people usually walk around. Although the wood on the frame has been treated with anti-corrosion, it has been rotted due to the perennial sun and rain, and some moss has grown on the surface. , mushrooms and things like that.

Ling Zikai walked onto the bridge first, and tried to stomp a few times.

Fortunately, although the wooden bridge is a bit wobbly, it can still bear weight. There should be no problem for people walking on it, but the surface is a bit slippery.

Ling Zikai turned his head to tell everyone to be careful of slippery feet, and then walked slowly towards the opposite side.

The rest of the people followed cautiously.

After crossing the Hongxing Bridge, crossing the mountain ridge near the river, and crossing a canyon, the vast and endless Xing'an Prairie appeared before everyone's eyes.

Standing on a mountain and looking out, the sky and the earth are like a huge picture scroll, full of green, unobstructed, like a still ocean, giving people the shock of the soul and infinite reverie.

Wow, this is too vast!
Seeing the grassland for the first time, Ling Zikai couldn't help exclaiming!
the sky is gray,
wild,
The wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep!
This ancient poem, which has been catchy since he was a child, has brought Ling Zikai longing for countless times.

But until now, after seeing the grassland with his own eyes, he really felt the outline and far-reaching, heroic and free and easy artistic conception in the poem.

Although Lin Xing'an and the others are no strangers to the Xing'an prairie, they live in the hustle and bustle of the city all the year round. What they see every day is not only tall buildings but also mansions. Facing the vast grassland at this moment, and the blue sky with white clouds drifting leisurely, they also feel For a while, I felt relaxed and happy.

Zhang Nan yelled from the side: "Brother Zikai, you must find a way to get some horses next time you come here. I haven't experienced the feeling of riding a horse on the grassland for a long time!"

Ling Zikai's heart also moved when he heard this.

Since the white horse was murdered, there was no means of transportation in the forest farm, and all entering and leaving the forest farm were on foot.

The distance from the log cabin on the forest farm to the town is only four or five miles, and it doesn't take much time to go back and forth.Usually, people don't pay much attention to the inconvenience of travel.

But now that the area of ​​the forest farm has almost doubled, this problem will become more prominent.

Take the current location as an example, the distance from here to the wooden house where I live is nearly [-] miles, and it takes nearly three hours to go back and forth, just walking, which is a waste of time. Legs are also numb.

It seems that we have to go to the racecourse as soon as possible to buy a few horses and come back.In addition to daily transportation, it is also a good enjoyment to come to the prairie for a lap when you are free.

Although I once promised Du Juan that I would find a bloody horse for her!But after all, it is something that cannot be met, and whether it can be realized is still unknown!

"Look at that quickly?"

When everyone was standing on the ridge looking at the grassland, Liu Yan suddenly pointed to the opposite canyon and cried out.

Everyone followed the prestige and saw a white figure soaring into the sky from a dense forest in the canyon. After drawing a large arc in mid-air, it swooped down and rushed into the dense forest.

However, before the white shadow approached the dense forest, there was a "bang" gunshot in the forest.

The white shadow paused for a moment, as if frightened, he didn't dare to enter the woods, but drew a V-shaped arc, soared into the sky again, and began to circle in mid-air non-stop.

At this moment, everyone could clearly see the appearance of the white shadow hovering in mid-air.

The white shadow looked like a white eagle, because the distance was too far to see the details of the body clearly, but judging from the two wings spread out nearly two meters, it was undoubtedly a large raptor.

"I see, it's the Great White Eagle!" Zhang Nan shouted loudly.

"The big white eagle? Is it the white eagle raised by Guo Jing in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes?"

Ling Zikai asked curiously.Seeing Zhang Nan nodding his head, he immediately became interested: "Is there really such a magical animal in this world? I thought it was made up by Mr. Jin Yong—"

He was about to ask again, but was interrupted by Lin Xingan: "Okay, I'll talk about it later. Didn't you hear the gunshot just now? Someone was poaching. Now we have to catch up." Go into that wood and stop them before it's too late."

Seeing Lin Xing'an's serious expression, Ling Zikai asked in puzzlement, "The gun missed just now, but now it has flown so high, it should be safe!"

Zhang Nan explained: "No, these big white eagles live in pairs. There should be two big white eagles living in the forest. You see, only one is flying in the sky now, and the other one says Might have fallen into the hands of poachers."

Hearing this, Ling Zikai couldn't help thinking of the scene described in the novel, where after one of the great white eagles died, the other also hit the rock and committed suicide.

Lin Xing'an nodded and said: "Great white eagles are national first-class protected animals, and capture and hunting are strictly prohibited. I didn't expect that there would be people who would dare to attack these rare animals. Since this happened to us, we must stop them!" "

Li Yan said hesitantly beside him: "Those poachers have guns in their hands. Will it be dangerous for us to go there like this?"

Liu Yan echoed, "Why don't we call the police first!"

"This is a barren mountain, and the mobile phone has no signal. How can we call the police? By the time we rush back to Yunhai and notify the police station, these poachers have long since fled without a trace!"

Lin Xing'an gave Li Yan and Liu Yan a dissatisfied look, and said, "If you are afraid of danger, you can stay here. Anyway, I can't just watch the great white eagle being hunted and killed. Go!"

Ling Zikai said: "Uncle Lin, what Master Li said is correct. Those poachers who dare to hunt and kill animals under national first-class protection must be ruthless desperadoes who can do anything. Let's go straight up like this." , Maybe they will really be poisoned by them, let's think of other ways!"

"Why, you're scared too! That's fine, I'll go alone. I still don't believe that they dare to kill people in broad daylight!"

Lin Xing'an ran down the ridge as soon as he said that.

Ling Zikai didn't expect Lin Xing'an to be so old and still have such a staunch temperament, and he couldn't help feeling admiration in his heart. Naturally, it was impossible for him to go on an adventure alone, so he said to Zhang Nan and Li Yan, "You guys Just wait here, and Professor Lin and I will go over and have a look. If you really encounter any danger, you should rush back to Yunhai to call the police."

Zhang Nan shouted: "No, I want to go too!"

Ling Zikai shook his head and said, "If you're a girl, don't join in the fun!"

Then he said to Li Yan: "Master Li, take care of the two of them. If anything happens, leave here immediately."

When he was speaking, he saw that Lin Xing'an had already run a long way, Ling Zikai didn't care about what to say, and hurried to catch up.

After all, Lin Xing'an was nearly 60 years old, and after running down the mountain, his physical strength could not keep up.Not long after, Ling Zikai caught up with him and nodded approvingly at him.

"Uncle Lin, walk slowly, I'll go up and check the situation first!"

When Ling Zikai passed Lin Xing'an, he said something to him, and without waiting for his response, he quickened his pace, leaving Lin Xing'an behind in a blink of an eye.

Lin Xing'an looked at Ling Zikai, who was walking like flying, and was startled for a moment: "I didn't expect this kid to run so fast. Could it be that I'm really old, not as good as a young man?"

Seeing Ling Zikai running away alone, he immediately became worried for him and shouted from a distance: "Be careful, be careful of the danger!"
