Morning.
Wolong Mountain Nature Reserve.
Lin Tian followed Wang Jian, walking deep into the dense forest.
On both sides were towering giant trees reaching for the sky, their lush foliage blocking out large swathes of sunlight.
“This area mainly grows Tianmu Trees and Silver Firs, along with a small number of camphor trees, all of which are rare protected trees unique to our country.”
Along the way.
Wang Jian introduced Lin Tian to the nearby tree species.
Lin Tian looked at the giant trees towering into the sky, his neck sore from looking up.
Especially the Tianmu Trees.
They were at least ten stories tall.
Looking up from the bottom of the trees, you could only see a pointed treetop.
Such tall giant trees were impossible to see in the city.
Only in specific nature reserves could you see them.
And protecting these giant trees was Lin Tian's responsibility.
Well.
Preventing Guangtouqiang, bear, bear, it was his responsibility.
“Wow, the scenery here is so good, it feels like I've come to a primeval forest!”
“The trees here are all so tall!”
“They're so high, these trees must be hundreds of years old.”
“Tian Ge, can you climb to the top of the tree and show us the view from above?”
…
In Lin Tian’s phone livestream, which was hung around his chest, comments flew by.
After Lin Tian's video of interacting with the golden monkey went viral on Douyin last night, his livestream gained a lot of new fans.
The unique scenery of the livestream was also very popular with city dwellers who had never seen such a deep mountain before.
The livestream had only been going on for two hours, and the number of viewers had already broken a thousand.
And the number was still growing.
Small gifts would fly by every now and then.
These small gifts, when accumulated, had brought Lin Tian a few hundred yuan in his backend.
This was an unexpected windfall that Lin Tian hadn’t expected.
However, Lin Tian didn't take it too seriously.
He continued his casual attitude towards the livestream.
He wouldn't pay special attention because of the increased popularity and gifts.
“This is the Tianmu Tree, it really is tall.”
Lin Tian looked up at the Tianmu Tree, feeling the wonder of nature, such a tall tree could still grow so strong and straight.
If he were to water the Tianmu Tree with spirit water.
Would this unique tree grow even taller?
Of course.
Lin Tian was just thinking out loud.
This mountain forest was too big, if he wanted to water it with spirit water, it would take an immeasurable amount of spirit water.
“It’s tall, right? These are all rare protected trees that have grown for decades, but because of this, we have to be careful of poachers.”
“To prevent poaching, this area is normally inspected once a day.”
“Besides this area, there is another area with many rare protected plants that needs to be inspected daily......”
Wang Jian and Lin Tian continued walking forward, explaining the daily tasks of the forest rangers in the jurisdiction.
Lin Tian took out a small notebook and wrote down everything he needed to remember, preventing mistakes.
“Actually, I have to thank you for taking the job as a forest ranger, otherwise this area would have been my responsibility.”
Wang Jian smiled at Lin Tian, with gratitude in his smile.
Originally,
Before Lin Tian came, because of the lack of staff at the bureau, the patrol work in this area had always been Wang Jian’s responsibility.
Wang Jian was already responsible for the forest protection in one area.
Taking on the forest protection work in the Wolong Mountain area on top of that.
It was like getting paid for one job while doing two.
He would be busy until very late every day before he could rest.
So, when Wang Jian heard that there was a new forest ranger, he was instantly enthusiastic and very responsible in providing all kinds of help to Lin Tian.
He was afraid that Lin Tian would quit halfway through, and the workload would fall back on him.
“Wang Da Ge, don’t worry, I’ll do these tasks from now on, to lighten your load.”
Lin Tian put away his notebook and patted Wang Jian on the shoulder, signaling him to relax, he wouldn't run away.
This reassured Wang Jian, and he became even more dedicated to teaching Lin Tian about his work.
The two walked along, patrolling and chatting.
They soon left the Tianmu Tree protection area.
They crossed the mountain and came to a low-lying area.
The trees here were shorter.
But only relative to the Tianmu Trees, in reality they were still over ten meters tall.
There was simply more undergrowth.
“Rustle…”
Because no one had been here for a long time, a lot of dead leaves had accumulated on the ground.
Stepping on them, they made a rustling sound.
Wang Jian walked ahead, turning his head and chatting with Lin Tian with a smile, talking about his own affairs.
But Lin Tian suddenly stopped.
He stared at a huge figure behind the bushes and grabbed Wang Jian, who was about to continue walking.
“Wang Da Ge, wait! There's something ahead!”
“Huh?!”
Seeing Lin Tian's nervous expression, Wang Jian also felt a chill in his heart. He quickly stopped and looked ahead with a wary eye.
Sure enough, a dark figure was moving behind the bushes a dozen meters away.
Because of their footsteps, the figure clearly sensed someone approaching.
Immediately, the figure emerged from behind the bushes and rushed towards them.
“Huff, huff...!”
After the figure appeared.
Lin Tian and Wang Jian saw the figure’s full appearance.
It had a round head and body, with black and white fur.
It had iconic dark circles around its eyes.
It looked cute and clumsy.
It was the national treasure animal with a cute appearance - the giant black and white panda!
But the wild panda in front of them was not as gentle and cute as the ones in the zoo.
Its limbs wobbled clumsily.
It twisted and turned, quickly rushing towards Lin Tian and Wang Jian!
