live animal world

Chapter 269 268. Help
While chatting, Su Yun followed Tang Seng to a waist-deep ravine. There were people busy within a hundred meters of the ravine, some wielding shovels to expand and deepen the ravine's width and depth, and some felling trees beside the ravine.

"This is an area to isolate flames. The area surrounded by the ravine is the area that needs to be burned. As for the area outside the ravine, it has been burned once last year, so let them be let go this year." Tang Seng jumped into the ravine, pulled out the plug in The shovel on the ground is busy with the followers of the tribe.

Su Yun took off his backpack and dug out a good-looking iron ax from the pile of tools. He moved to a tree and joined in the silent but active work. While busy, he said to the drone, "Listen to Brother Tang Seng's explanation." Regarding the matter of setting fire to the forest, do you feel that it is similar to the behavior of a certain animal?"

After a pause, he added specifically, "About protecting the forest!"

[Can I answer this kind of question?Do you think too highly of me? 】

[Laughing, it’s time again when the anchor thinks I know the answer to the question. 】

【woodpecker? 】

[Doesn’t woodpeckers peck trees out of a tree hole when they eat insects?What kind of forest protection is this? 】

Swinging the iron ax round and chopping at the root of the tree, Su Yun raised his eyebrows and said, "Some audience can guess it, yes, it's a woodpecker!"

"What Tang Monk's tribe is doing at this time is to protect the forest. In order to prevent disasters before they happen, they designate an area in advance and then eliminate flammable trees first to prevent fires in the dry season."

After a pause, Su Yundao said, "Everyone should have heard about the previous fires in Australia. The extent of destruction of forest land was as high as 2400 million hectares, and nearly 30 billion native Australian animals were affected."

"I would say that this not only protects the forest, but also protects animals. Although this approach will be criticized by some people, it is undoubtedly the most sensible approach, a wise approach that has been passed down for a long time."

Seeing the trees leaning and falling to the ground, Su Yun continued, "As for woodpeckers, there should be articles about woodpeckers in elementary school textbooks. We knew that woodpeckers are beneficial birds when we were young."

"But as we grow up and learn more and more, slowly, you may have seen the appearance of a woodpecker pecking a tree through short videos, and then the glorious image of the woodpecker protecting the tree and eating insects collapsed. .”

"This perception is wrong!"

Walking to the next tree, Su Yun swung his ax and continued, "Wei Zheng, an official of the Tang Dynasty, said, 'Don't look at problems one-sidedly.'"

"The woodpecker did peck the tree, but it also ate the worms in the pecked tree, which is already protecting the forest."

"Imagine, if the woodpeckers hadn't eaten the bugs in the tree, and as time went by, wouldn't the bugs have become more numerous through reproduction? If the bugs had increased, would it have destroyed more trees? ?”

"So, woodpeckers basically kill bugs on the way to destroy other trees. This is a woodpecker that destroys a tree and protects the whole forest, not a woodpecker that rots a tree as we see."

[I don't understand! 】

【I knew this truth very early on. I even argued with my roommate at that time. He always thought that woodpeckers are harmful birds. I haven't spoken to him since then. 】

[The woodpecker is old. The last time my eldest cousin went to touch the woodpecker's eggs in the forest, the woodpecker found it and chased him to peck it. Then his head was pecked, and he was also infected. He stayed in the ICU for a week. 】

Pushing down a tree again, Su Yun stepped towards the next one. There was no guilt in cutting down the tree at this time, because the meaning brought by cutting down the tree at this time was sacred and not mixed with any profit.

He was busy doing things, and only when he felt a little sore in his back, would he stand up and take a rest. It seemed to be an agreement. Usually when Su Yun straightened up his back and rested, he could see people standing up and taking a rest in the distance. Whenever this time, They have a little understanding and make people look very comfortable.

The skill of felling wood was learned by Su Yun. The tribal people tens of meters away are naturally good at felling trees. They know how to exert the greatest effect with less effort, and at the same time, it is faster.

Su Yun used brute force to cut down the first few trees, and then he started to steal from behind. He seemed to know what Su Yun was thinking. The tribesmen closest to Su Yun would slow down and demonstrate their posture and exertion skills to Su Yun. Yun Kan has benefited Su Yun a lot.

Extending along the edge of the inner circle of the gully, after clearing all the trees that could threaten the trees outside the gully one by one, the time has reached more than one o'clock in the afternoon.

Feeling the slightly swollen arms, Su Yun walked towards Tang Seng under the kind eyes of many tribesmen. Although he could not speak the language of the others, a smile was the best way to express it.

"They are all praising you for your ability. Do you want to stay? There are many girls in our tribe." Tang Seng handed over a bottle of water and came to Su Yun's side teasingly.

Su Yun rolled his eyes, married?If you want to eat shit, you should still go abroad, but you can consider it at home.

"Are you tired?" Tang Seng glanced at the calluses on his hand, turned his head and asked Su Yun.

Su Yun moved his waist, waved his hands and said, "It's okay."

After saying that, he took out the food from his backpack and prepared to eat. He had been working for noon, and his stomach was already hungry. It was already 12 o'clock, and Su Yun secretly looked at the people in this tribe and thought about it. He thought that if they wanted to eat, he went over to have a meal, but he secretly observed them for more than an hour. Apart from resting and drinking water, this group of people cut trees and dug trenches.

He didn't intend to eat at all, which made Su Yun very angry. Although he took the initiative to work, as the host, he should at least take care of the meal.

"What are you doing?" Tang Seng looked at Su Yun who took out the beef jerky and asked in surprise.

"Eat!" Su Yun frowned, he must let him eat his own food.

"Don't eat, there's a bonfire dinner tonight." Tang Seng pressed Su Yun's hand and said.

Su Yun smiled angrily, "Brother Tang, you've been working for a whole day. If you don't eat, you'll starve to death."

Tang Monk hurriedly said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. When you go to the countryside, do as the Romans do! There are really good things in the evening. If you are full now, you will eat less in the evening."

Su Yun smacked his lips, forget it, it's just like going to the countryside to do as the Romans do.

During the rest and chatting, from time to time, a few tribesmen came over to say hello to Su Yun, and then had a friendly conversation with a smile, the meaning revealed in the words was to thank Su Yun for his help.

There were even a few naked little kids who came close to Su Yun and looked at the foreigners in their eyes, but their eyes were mostly on the parrot.

During this period, Su Yun tentatively took out a few candies. Although the child's eyes showed desire, he still gave up under the stern eyes of the parents.

After the rest, Su Yun added some water and carried an axe, and continued to cut down trees. Time passed slowly, and the last tree that needed to be cut down slowly collapsed on the ground in front of everyone's eyes.
