Chapter 1: Crossing Bear Ridge

Page 1/3

Early in the morning, a handsome young boy lay on a flat meadow. A drop of morning dew fell from the tree above, sliding slowly down to his lips.

He slowly opened his eyes, only to be startled and bewildered by the unfamiliar surroundings.

“Where am I? How did I suddenly end up here?”

Su He stood up and surveyed the environment before him. “Is this a forest?” After all, it was filled with trees.

“How did I end up in a forest? Last night I was at home watching ‘Boonie Bears,’ and now I wake up in this godforsaken place.”

“Hey, is anyone there? If so, please respond.”

“Is anyone here?”

But apart from his own voice, only the sounds of birds playing in the trees could be heard.

“What is going on? Waking up here so early in this dreadful place.” He really hoped someone would come and tell him this was just a variety show.

Could it be that I’ve traveled through time? Wait, isn’t there supposed to be a system when that happens?

“System, system, are you there? If so, bark like a dog.” But Su He called out in his mind for a long time, yet there was no response at all.

Just then, a sound came from the nearby grass. Su He went over to investigate and suddenly, a yellow-brown bear appeared before him.

“Damn, it’s a bear!” Su He quickly stepped back.

Then another voice came from the grass, “Bear Two, I told you to come out and find food. What are you standing there for?”

What appeared next was a dark red-brown bear.

Su He stood frozen in shock, thinking, “What the heck is this? Not only did I suddenly appear in this godforsaken place, but now I can hear bears talking?”

The yellow-brown bear spoke, “Bear Big, there’s suddenly a human here. I don’t know what he’s doing.”

“Human?” Bear Big’s eyes turned toward Su He. Could he be like Bald Qiang, here to destroy the forest and cut down trees?

With an authoritative tone, he said, “Hey, who are you? What are you doing in this forest?”

Su He gradually regained his composure. Hearing the bears talk, he thought, “Bear Big, Bear Two? Could it be that I’ve traveled into ‘Boonie Bears’? And this is Bear Mountain Ridge?”

Bear Big roared angrily, “Hey, I’m asking you, what are you doing here? Are you here to chop down trees?”

Su He quickly replied, “No, no, I just came to the forest to clear my mind but accidentally got lost. I wanted to see if there’s anyone around who can help me get out.”

He then asked Bear Big if there were any other people nearby.

At that moment, Bear Two spoke up, “So you’re not here to chop trees. If you keep going straight through that thicket, there’s a wooden cabin. A stinky bald guy lives there. You can ask him to help you out.”

After hearing this, Su He said to Bear Big and Bear Two, “Thanks! I’ll be going now. See you around.”

Bear Two then said, “Bear Big, let’s keep looking for food. I’m starving.”

Bear Big nodded, and the two bears left.

Su He stood there, his heart pounding with excitement. “I’ve traveled through time, and it’s to ‘Boonie Bears,’ a story I’ve loved since I was a child.” The thought of possibly meeting Zhao Lin, Naya, Best, and other characters filled him with thrill.

“Well, I better go meet Bald Qiang first.” With that, he headed toward Bald Qiang’s home.

After passing through a patch of dense forest, he soon saw a wooden cabin. As he got closer, his memory became clearer.

Before him was a small yard fenced with wooden planks, overgrown with weeds. There were a few discarded tires and a worn-out large jar. In front stood an old wooden cabin, with strings of dried chili peppers and corn hanging outside.

Looking at the cabin from his memory, Su He walked up and knocked on the door. After a moment, a lazy voice called out, “Who is it? Who’s disturbing Bald Qiang so early?”

The door opened, revealing a middle-aged man with a shiny bald head and a height of just over one and a half meters. Su He thought, “So this is Bald Qiang. I never imagined I’d get to see him in person.”

Bald Qiang looked at the tall, slender young man with a smooth, fair face, sharp features, deep black eyes, a prominent nose, and exquisitely shaped lips—probably just eighteen or nineteen years old—and thought, “This kid is even more handsome than me, Bald Qiang.”

He then asked, “Who are you? What do you want from me?”

Su He smiled and answered, “I accidentally got lost in the forest and saw this cabin. I was hoping to find someone who could help me get out.”

Understanding the situation, Bald Qiang warmly said, “Luckily you met your Bald Qiang. I’m feeling generous today, so I’ll help you get out.”

With that, he led Su He to his blue pickup truck.

Once inside, Su He stroked the vehicle’s body, thinking, “This must be the car Bald Qiang drove when he was always at odds with Bear Big and Bear Two. I never thought I’d get to experience riding in it.”

Soon, after leaving the forest and arriving in town, Su He asked Bald Qiang for his phone number, thanked him, and then walked alone along the street.

“Having traveled into ‘Boonie Bears,’ I wonder if I even have an identity or family here.” He then went to the police station.

By afternoon, Su He emerged from the police station with knowledge of his identity: “At fifteen, his parents died in a car accident while driving. He has no relatives or friends nearby, only some savings left behind.”

“I need a reasonable excuse to stay with Bald Qiang and the others,” he thought. Suddenly, he realized he could apply to be a forest ranger, so he could join Bear Big, Bear Two, and Bald Qiang on their adventures.

Afterward, Su He went to apply for the job and found a hotel to stay at. Lying in bed that night, he thought, “Since Bald Qiang is still cutting trees, the adventure hasn’t started yet. That means the first female character I’ll meet should be Naya.”

But what worried him most was his own strength. Judging by the current situation, even if this wasn’t the Season 1 ‘God Boonie Bears,’ the dangers would only grow as the story progressed. Starting from Dudu, it was manageable, but things became more and more outrageous—from the Mountain God Tuanzi, the fantasy realm where even Sun Wukong was defeated, to the primitive era, the wild continent, and finally, even aliens showed up.

Bear Big, Bear Two, and Bald Qiang were the protagonists. Facing difficulties head-on was natural for them. But as an outsider without any special abilities, if a formidable enemy appeared, he’d be finished. Thinking of this, Su He felt increasingly anxious. “Forget it, whatever happens, I’ll sleep first. Tomorrow, I’ll go see Bear Big and Bear Two.”
