On a blazing summer day.
In the depths of the vast mountains of Sichuan, Tom Lin was hiking on a rugged mountain path with his backpack.
He also held a mobile phone selfie stick in his hand, displaying the live brast interface he had just opened.
"Hey guys, this is the Sichuan Nature Reserve. Isn't the scenery beautiful?"
"From today, I am a proud forest ranger in this area, and I'll often brast my daily life as a forest ranger for you all."
Saying this, Tom Lin continued to walk deeper into the mountains.
The scenery in Sichuan was breathtaking.
The mountains were lush with verdant foliage.
The dense branches and leaves formed a green barrier.
Blocking the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
Bringing tranquility to one's mind.
Taking a deep breath of the clean air of nature, Tom Lin felt joyful.
This was one of the reasons he chose to become a forest ranger.
Of course, there was another more important reason.
Tom Lin had once obtained a magical stone.
The stone was smaller than a fist.
Its surface was irregular.
It was dark gray.
If not carefully examined, it looked like a stone picked up casually by the ride.
But this stone was no ordinary stone.
He had dug it up in the basement of his hometown one day.
Since discovering this stone, it seemed to have become bound to him.
No matter where he threw the stone, as long as he willed it, the stone would instantly appear in his hand out of thin air.
Very magical.
And after studying it, Tom Lin found that this stone had two magical effects.
The first effect.
Carrying the stone with him allowed him to understand the rough thoughts and emotions of animals, and made all animals naturally have a good impression of him.
And the second effect.
Just soaking the stone in water could convert ordinary water into a magical elixir.
Watering plants with the elixir could accelerate their growth and enhance their efficacy.
Giving it to animals to drink could slightly improve their physical constitution and intelligence.
After discovering the magical effects of this stone, Tom Lin's first reaction was to come to the mountains to become a forest ranger.
This was the life he had always wanted.
And with this magical stone, it would make his life in the mountains even easier and more comfortable.
While pondering in his mind, Tom Lin glanced at the live brast room.
In the moment he had just been distracted, there were already a few scattered comments.
"Streamer? Are you just in your early twenties? Going to be a forest ranger?"
"I heard that forest rangers are one of the loneliest professions, and it's rare to go home even once a year. Can anyone really endure this loneliness?"
"Honestly, what did you experience that made you choose this profession?"
"Are you planning to retire early?"
...
Since Tom Lin had just created his live brast room today, there weren't many online viewers, only a dozen or so.
So there weren't many comments.
Most of them were surprised that Tom Lin was a forest ranger.
After all, Tom Lin was only 22 years old today, fresh out of college.
Normally, no one at this age would choose to be a forest ranger.
Because being a forest ranger was truly lonely.
Living for long periods in the depths of desolate mountains, without a companion to talk to.
Repeating the same life and work day after day.
Few young people can endure it.
However, this did not include Tom Lin.
He was different.
He had loved nature and small animals since childhood.
He didn't think living in nature would be boring.
Of course, the most critical thing was Tom Lin had the little stone that could understand animals' thoughts and make elixirs.
Living in nature would make his life much easier.
"The job of a forest ranger is actually pretty good, far away from people and accompanied by nature. I think it's not bad."
Tom Lin interacted with the live brast room while continuing to climb the mountain without stopping.
Today was his first day of reporting.
He had a lot of things to do.
It was now midday.
The early summer sun was very harsh.
Fortunately, the trees in the vast mountains were very tall and lush.
Blocking most of the sunlight, leaving only dappled beams of light projecting down.
While climbing the mountain, Tom Lin enjoyed the scenery along the way and chatted with the viewers in the live brast room.
This journey was not boring at all.
Soon, an hour later, Tom Lin arrived at his management area.
At the entrance of the area, a middle-aged man in camouflage clothes with dark skin was waiting there early.
"Hello, you must be Tom Lin, right? My name is Jason Wang, a forest ranger in the adjacent area. The bureau asked me to arrange accommodation for you."
Jason Wang approached and shook hands with Tom Lin.
Tom Lin also smiled and extended his hand.
"Hello, Mr. Wang, thank you for your trouble."
"Haha, no trouble at all!"
"But you're much younger than I imagined. I've never seen such a young forest ranger before!"
"Are you just starting out in your career? Why did you choose to become a forest ranger?"
"This job is not for young people to stay in."
Jason Wang was surprised to see how young Tom Lin was.
At the same time, perhaps because he had been guarding the reserve for so long without encountering anyone.
Seeing Tom Lin, Jason Wang seemed particularly enthusiastic and pulled him to talk for a long time.
Tom Lin only occasionally smiled and replied with a couple of sentences.
The two continued to chat while walking along the mountain path deeper into the area.
After walking for more than ten minutes, a yard enclosed with red bricks appeared at the end of the path.
But the yard seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. Vines grew all over the walls, and the gate of the yard was missing half of its door.
Seeing Tom Lin looking at the house on the hillside, Jason Wang smiled and said, "As you can see, the small red-brick yard ahead is the house for forest rangers in this area."
"However, since the previous forest ranger retired, no one has come to serve as a forest ranger in this area for seven or eight years."
"So, this small yard has been vacant and uninhabited for seven or eight years. I estimate there are a lot of weeds. If you want to live here, you may have to put in some effort to clean it up."
Tom Lin could also see that the house had been uninhabited for a long time.
The vines growing wildly on the yard wall almost obscured its original color.
From a distance, it looked like a green wall.
"It's okay. I'll clean it up slowly."
Tom Lin smiled and didn't mind.
The worklof a forest ranger was not much, so he could have a lot of free time to take care of the house when he was not busy.
Tom Lin took the lead and walked ahead to take a look at his new residence.
And Jason Wang followed behind with a smile.
The end of the path was the gate of the yard.
All the way to the gate, Tom Lin reached out to push open the rotten wooden door.
The wooden door had not been visited for a long time.
The door hinges were rusty.
When pushed open, it made an old, creaky sound.
Tom Lin struggled a bit to push open the wooden door.
He was just about to step inside.
At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed a dark shadow flying straight towards him.
Tom Lin reacted extremely quickly and instinctively stepped back.
Dodging the shadow.
But almost bumping into Jason Wang who was following behind.
"Ouch, Tom Lin, what's wrong?"
Jason Wang behind him was also startled by Tom Lin's movement.
He asked with confusion.
"Mr. Wang, there seems to be something in the yard."
Tom Lin furrowed his brows slightly.
He looked down at the dark shadow that attacked him.
He saw a green wild fruit lying on the wild grass at the yard gate.
Was this... a jujube?
Tom Lin looked at the unripe jujube on the ground in surprise.
How did the jujube in this yard suddenly fly towards him?
Tom Lin was puzzled.
When he looked up at the yard again, his pupils widened in surprise.
He was stunned by the sight inside!
In the yard, a lush jujube tree was currently occupied by a group of figures with soft golden fur.
They had long tails, fluffy hair, and big, dark eyes.
Some were sitting, some standing, and some hanging upside down from the tree.
All of them were staring intently at Tom Lin, emitting threatening growls as if facing a formidable enemy.
Their number seemed to be over a dozen.
And their identity...
I believe that anyone from China, upon seeing them for the first time, would immediately recognize them.
They were the domestically unique and endangered first-grade protected animals.
One of the most beautiful and precious monkeys in the world.
The prototype of the Monkey King in "Journey to the West".
The Sichuan Golden Snub-nosed Monkey!
At this moment, these usually well-behaved Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys were all staring at Tom Lin as if facing a formidable enemy, with their long tails raised high and filled with hostility towards him!
Seeing their demeanor, Tom Lin's expression was odd.
Did these Golden Snub-nosed Monkeys seem to blame him for intruding into their territory?
