In the depths of the vast and mysterious Changbai Mountain, there lives a hunter surnamed Wang. Hunter Wang has grown up in this mountain forest since childhood and has deep feelings for every plant and creature in Changbai Mountain. With his superb hunting skills, he makes a living in the mountains, but his heart always harbors reverence for nature.

 

The four seasons in Changbai Mountain each have their own characteristics. In spring, flowers all over the mountains and plains are in full bloom, colorful, as if a picture scroll painted with the most brilliant colors by nature. In summer, the trees are lush and verdant, and the mountain streams flow gurglingly, bringing a hint of coolness. In autumn, the maple leaves are like cinnabar, and the forests are dyed layer by layer. The entire Changbai Mountain is like being ignited by fire, magnificent. In winter, it is covered with snow and wrapped in silver, just like a fairy tale world. Hunter Wang shuttles through this beautiful mountain forest, feeling the charm and mystery of nature.

 

One day, Hunter Wang was hunting in the mountains as usual. On that day, the sky was exceptionally blue, and the sunlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves, forming golden pillars. Hunter Wang walked along a familiar path. Suddenly, he found a dead sika deer in a patch of grass.

 

The sika deer has an elegant posture and bright fur. Even after death, it still exudes an air of nobility. It lies quietly there, its eyes slightly open, as if telling something. A strange sadness welled up in Hunter Wang's heart. He felt that the death of this sika deer was an indescribable regret.

 

Hunter Wang decided to hold a simple funeral for this sika deer. He found a quiet place, dug a pit with a shovel, and then gently placed the sika deer's body into the pit and covered it with soil. During the burial process, Hunter Wang prayed silently in his heart, hoping that the sika deer's soul could rest in peace and that nature could continue to bless this beautiful mountain forest.

 

That night, Hunter Wang returned home and lay tiredly on the bed. Changbai Mountain at night was exceptionally quiet, only the occasional sound of wind and animal calls could be heard. Hunter Wang gradually fell asleep. Suddenly, a breeze blew, and the candlelight swayed. Hunter Wang vaguely saw a figure appear at the door. It was a beautiful woman.

 

The woman was wearing a long white dress, with long hair like a waterfall, snow-white skin, and her eyes revealed a kind of tenderness and kindness. She slowly walked up to Hunter Wang and bowed to express her gratitude: "Benefactor, thank you for your kindness today. I am originally that sika deer. I unfortunately died today. If it weren't for you burying me, I'm afraid I would be gnawed by other wild animals and my soul would be scattered. Now my soul can rest in peace. I come here especially to thank you."

 

Hunter Wang widened his eyes in surprise and confusion. He didn't expect the sika deer he buried during the day to turn into a beautiful woman and appear in his dream. The woman then said: "Benefactor, there is one more thing I want to ask for your help. Tomorrow, poachers will come to Changbai Mountain. Please stop them. Their actions will destroy the balance of nature and harm more creatures." After saying that, the woman's figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.

 

Hunter Wang woke up from his dream, covered in cold sweat. He sat up and recalled the dream just now. His heart was full of contradictions. He knew that the actions of poachers were wrong, but he was worried that he couldn't stop them. After some thinking, Hunter Wang decided to follow the advice of the woman in his dream and try his best to stop the poachers.

 

The next day, Hunter Wang got up early and carried his hunting gun to the mountain. He patrolled around and paid attention to the movements around him. Sure enough, before long, he found a group of poachers. The poachers were carrying large bags and small bags of tools and holding hunting guns in their hands. Their eyes revealed greed and cruelty.

 

Hunter Wang's heart tightened. He knew that he had to take action. He quietly approached the poachers and then shouted loudly: "You can't hunt here! This is a nature reserve. Poaching is an illegal act!" The poachers were startled by Hunter Wang's sudden appearance. They looked at Hunter Wang, their eyes full of hostility.

 

One of the poachers said: "Who are you? Mind your own business! We only come to hunt for a living." Hunter Wang said seriously: "Your actions will destroy the balance of nature and harm innocent creatures. If you continue like this, you will be punished sooner or later." After hearing Hunter Wang's words, the poachers hesitated. They knew that what Hunter Wang said made sense, but they were reluctant to give up this hunting opportunity.

 

When Hunter Wang saw that the poachers were wavering, he seized the opportunity and said: "Think about it. If your families know that you are doing illegal things, what will they think? Moreover, poaching will not only bring trouble to yourself but also have a negative impact on the whole society." After hearing Hunter Wang's words, the poachers began to waver. They looked at each other and then put down their hunting guns.

 

When Hunter Wang saw that the poachers had put down their weapons, he breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he had successfully prevented a tragedy. He said to the poachers: "You should respect nature and abide by the law. Only in this way can we live in harmony with nature and create a beautiful world together." After hearing Hunter Wang's words, the poachers lowered their heads in shame. They said that they would never poach again.

 

From then on, Hunter Wang became even more determined in his belief of protecting nature. He knew that although his power was small, as long as everyone could do their part, nature could be made more beautiful. In Taoist thought, it emphasizes the harmonious unity of humans and nature. It is believed that humans are a part of nature and should follow the laws of nature and integrate with nature. Hunter Wang's behavior reflects this thought. His kind act towards the sika deer is not only respect for a life but also reverence for nature. And his act of stopping the poachers is also maintaining the balance of nature, reflecting the concept of "following nature and protecting the ecology" in Taoism.

 

Hunter Wang's story spread in the Changbai Mountain area, and people all praised his behavior. Some people also began to reflect on their own actions and realize the importance of protecting nature. Hunter Wang became an example for everyone to learn from. His story inspired more people to join the ranks of protecting nature.

 

This story is full of interest and mystery. Hunter Wang's dream and the incarnation of the sika deer make people full of awe and yearning for nature. At the same time, this story also tells us that in life, we should respect every life and live in harmony with nature. Only in this way can we obtain true happiness and peace.
