The trip starts from Yongliang land and checks in

Chapter 103 Catch the Bullfrog

The altitude of "Shennong Valley" is 2820 meters, and the drop from the viewing platform to the bottom of the valley is more than 400 meters.Shennong Valley is located in the outcropping area of ​​dolomite in Shicaohe Formation of Shennongjia Group, and the dolomite was formed 12-10 billion years ago.Due to strong extrusion and folding, high-angle fractures are well developed.The flowing water erodes and dissolves along the cracks, sculpting today's strange peaks and beautiful valleys, and clusters of stone forests.In order to enable tourists to watch this magical landscape to their heart's content, the park specially designed and built a 4.4-kilometer walking plank road. "

But in addition, they took the lead in going to other scenic spots in Shennongding, such as checking in at Shennongding.

They came to the starting point of the day's mountain climbing, the entrance of Qingyun Stairs, looking at the majestic green mountains not far away, it was very novel. Zhang Xiao was already doing preparatory exercises before climbing the mountain, bending over and stretching his legs, ready to conquer the long-awaited but impossible And ladder.

After walking on a section of stairs with a gentle slope, the really tall ladder appeared in front of them.

"Do you know? In fact, our North Lake Shennongjia is really low-key. The altitude of more than 3000 meters is actually one-third higher than the world-famous three mountains and five mountains. The four words "Roof of Central China" really live up to the name!"

The hard work paid off, and after a few hours, they came to a rest stop somewhere, overlooking from a high place, the scenery was very pleasant, blue sky and white clouds, green mountains, everything was so refreshing.take pictures.

After resting for a while, they successfully climbed to the highest point, took a photo with a very majestic Shennong Dingding, and then prepared to go down the mountain and officially headed for Jinhouling.

In addition, Zhang Xiao feels that the animal and plant resources here are extremely rich.Although the rhododendrons are all in bloom this season, the mountain breeze with the scent of fragrant and bitter plants, the frightened wild rabbits that run away in a hurry, and the mountains like thousands of horses and horses covered with emerald green shawls in the abyss are full of savages. Legend has cast a layer of mystery on it.

Everything here will make people forget the hustle and bustle, as if a lifetime away.But it is so thrilling and exciting.

Tired from walking, the two sat beside the clear, rushing stream.

Zhang Xiao suddenly found out that under a huge rock at the bottom of the water, there was actually a cute and cute salamander hidden, so he couldn't help laughing.

Chen Xi on the side also joked: "Brother Xiao, do you think this salamander looks like the one you released in Tianshui Nature Reserve before? Hahaha~~"

"Wang Wang Wang!!"

Zhang Xiao chuckled, and when he was about to speak, A Chai suddenly started barking.Zhang Xiao was startled, he is very sensitive now, A Chai started to bark for no reason, did he foresee some danger?
He looked around subconsciously, and suddenly realized that Xiao Diao had disappeared, and his face changed suddenly.

And Chen Xi also sensed that something was wrong, she frowned and looked around, suddenly pointed in a certain direction, and exclaimed loudly: "Not good!! Brother Xiao, look quickly, stop Xiao Diao!"

"What?" Zhang Xiao took a closer look, only to find that the little mink was about to hunt that giant salamander! !

"I'm going, little mink, what do you want me to say??? Are you going to commit a crime like last time?"

Zhang Xiao was speechless, and immediately swooped over in three steps and two steps, hugged the little mink that was eager to try by the river, and pretended to be serious: "This salamander is a national second-class protected amphibious wild animal. Wild animals living in the wild are not allowed to be hunted or killed without approval. Currently, the drone live broadcaster is constantly monitoring, so don’t cause trouble for your boss!”

The little mink just curled his lips and giggled a few times to show that he knew.

"Hahaha, Brother Xiao's desire to survive!"

"This little mink is really wild hahhh"

"Little mink, can you save some snacks for your master!!"

"Hahaha, look, I scared brother Xiao!!!"

After putting down the little mink, Zhang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and Chen Xi on the side laughed and joked: "This little mink has returned to his original nature if he didn't pay attention!!"

"Hey, I can't help it!!" Zhang Xiao smiled helplessly, washed his face, the water was so cold that he was refreshed.

"Let's go, keep going!!"

Immediately, after walking for a long time, the two of them couldn't hold on for a while due to the constant exhaustion of their physical strength and Zhang Xiao's injury.

The temperature in the mountain forest was getting lower and lower, and they were shivering from the cold. Both of them remained silent and did not say a word.

However, Zhang Xiao still enjoys hiking because there are not many modern cultural relics, and the roads that people have stepped on in the mountains and forests in a primitive way are very harmonious with the mountains and forests, which is natural.

Human beings need to live in harmony with nature, and life and death are gifts of nature.

The mountain forest without roads is a gesture of returning to the original. Zhang Xiao believes that although the asphalt and concrete roads are convenient for us, they are somewhat contrary to nature.

After many hardships and dangers, they finally came to the legendary Jinsi Ridge, feeling a little joy in their hearts.

"Let me introduce to you again, the Golden Monkey Ridge is located in the Shennongjia forest area, with an altitude of 3000 meters. It is the main activity area for the golden monkey, which is a national first-class protected animal. It has attracted many scholars to investigate. It has become a protected area for golden monkeys and white bears. One of the well-preserved virgin forests!!!”

"If you are lucky, it is said that you can see the golden monkey jumping on the treetops, but if you really want to meet the golden monkey, you need to accumulate enough character."

All that can be done now is to wait silently.

The mountains here are gentle, the climate is cold, the rainfall is abundant, the land is fertile, the forest is dense, the bamboo is like a sea, the vines and kudzu are hanging, the cascading waterfalls are hanging high, the mountains are full of wild flowers and fruits, and it is a typical representative of Shennongjia's hundreds of thousands of acres of virgin forest.

Walking in the dense Jinhouling primeval forest, looking at every ancient tree full of vicissitudes, every dead branch that fell to the ground, seeing the moss on the stone, and seeing the flowers and plants in the cracks between the stones, I can't help but sigh. The cruelty and helplessness of nature's "survival of the fittest" also sighs for those animals and plants that perish in the struggle.

"Man is also a speck of dust in the vastness of life. He moves forward actively or passively. If he has a dream in his heart, the world may be wider, his footsteps may be firm, and he may survive in the competition of species; Maybe it will be bright, cherish your soul, cherish the present, and take every step well, it is wise."

The forest was very quiet, apart from the chirping of birds and the gurgling of streams, the sound of Zhang Xiao's heavy breathing, and Chen Xi's nagging complaints, they put down their backpacks, relaxed their bodies, and breathed a deep sigh of relief.

……

The golden monkey really doesn't mean that you can find it if you find it. Zhang Xiao smiled wryly, and said to the drone live broadcaster: "Everyone, we probably have to plan for a long-term garrison." "Ah?" Hearing this, Chen Xi's expression changed. : "Brother Xiao, what do you mean by being stationed for a long time?"

Zhang Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said, "At least half a day, at most three or four days?"

"Three or four days." Chen Xi looked bitter.

Zhang Xiao laughed loudly, and patted her on the shoulder: "It's okay, I'll take you to experience the fun of the jungle, you won't be bored!!! Tonight, we're lucky to eat roasted bullfrogs!!"

"What? Roasted bullfrog?" As expected of a foodie, Chen Xi's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Immediately, under Zhang Xiao's confident smile, Chen Xi followed him and set off with apprehension. While walking on the way, she suddenly let out a violent scream.

For a moment, the hearts of the audience in the live broadcast room trembled.

"What's wrong?? Sister Xi, don't scare me!!"

"what happened?"

Zhang Xiao instinctively held the multifunctional hand ax in his hand and walked towards Chen Xi.

In the primeval jungle, there are almost dangers everywhere, and if you don't pay attention, you may put yourself in danger.

Before coming, Zhang Xiao had already brought some spare medicines, just to ensure this kind of emergency.

"Bugs... bugs... I'm most afraid of bugs"

Chen Xi lowered her head, looking at the little bug wriggling slightly on her collarbone, she didn't dare to move at all.

Zhang Xiao smiled and joked, "It's just a larva of a cicada, don't be afraid, it won't hurt you. How come you, a woman, are actually scared by a little bug??"

"Brother Xiao, don't make me happy, help me get rid of it quickly!! I really can't accept this kind of thing!!!"

"Oh my god, that's disgusting"

Chen Xi didn't dare to move at all, with a pale face, Zhang Xiao pulled the bugs down with a hand axe.

"Calm down, this kind of little bug is nothing to worry about, I'm afraid of poisonous spiders, all kinds of poisonous insects, poisonous snakes, etc., even some ants are highly poisonous~~" Having said that, Zhang Akatsuki deliberately frightened her.

"Ah! Poisonous spider, poisonous snake??" Chen Xi's face turned pale for a moment, she gave Zhang Xiao a hard look and said, "Brother Xiao, don't scare me!!"

"Anyway, you have to protect me!! I'm your employee, otherwise it will be counted as a work-related injury!" After speaking, she hurriedly followed Zhang Xiao.

"Hahaha, I know~~"

"Brother Xiao is too bad hhh"

"I can't tell, Sister Xi looks very carefree and bold on the outside, she's actually afraid of bugs hahh"

"Is this normal? There are a few girls who are not afraid of bugs, poisonous snakes or something."

"Indeed!"

"There are probably a lot of bullfrogs here, and the conditions are limited. Just take a sack. I'll catch one or two. I'll do a demonstration first."

"Because the bullfrogs here are very big, they are wild, and their calls are as loud as a cow's call, basically they are all loud."

Zhang Xiao took a few steps forward and began to look for the bullfrog.

"Find a good bullfrog habitat, bullfrogs live in freshwater lakes, ponds, rivers and streams, they tend to live in places with canopy, cattails and little to no water flow, make sure you hunt on public land during bullfrog season .”

As he spoke, Zhang Xiao walked to a small gurgling stream. After walking along the stream for a long time, he soon heard a unique bass sound, which sounded like a deep hum.

"You don't make a sound."

At this time, the sky was getting dark, Zhang Xiao took out the prepared LED lights, and after lighting them up, he was ready to look for bullfrogs.

He uses an LED flashlight to illuminate the banks of ponds or streams, moving the beam slowly until he sees a pair of bullfrog eyes.

Sure enough, he noticed one eye wide open, and that was a large bullfrog.

Immediately, Zhang Xiao moved slowly and quietly, with very gentle and gentle steps, and when he reached about 10 or 15 yards away, he pointed the LED light directly at its eyes! !
This method is called jacking, and the bullfrog will go into a trance like a deer in a car's headlights.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Zhang quickly swoops and grabs hard, because the bullfrog reacts quickly to movement, so he needs to pounce quickly and hold it firmly, they can easily slip out of Zhang Xiao's hands, so hold on to them upper thigh, probably only one chance.

Grab the bullfrog by the upper thigh with the legs together, a position that minimizes the chance of injury while also making it difficult for the animal to escape.

"sack!"

Zhang Xiao lifted the bullfrog and shouted.

Chen Xi, who was carrying a sack, hesitated for a moment, not daring to approach.

"Shall I throw it over for you?"

"Don't worry, I'm holding this bullfrog tightly, don't be afraid?"

"Fine."

After gritting his teeth, Chen Xi summoned up his courage and approached Zhang Xiao.

After she opened the sack, just turned around.

He saw a creature with eyes like copper bells and skin full of bumps staring at her blankly.

"what--"

Chen Xi fled in panic, hid behind a big tree, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Brother Xiao, how could you do this?? Didn't you say you didn't want to scare me?"

"Hahaha, sister Xi, don't be afraid!! This bullfrog is just a bit stronger, there is nothing to be afraid of~ it's not a toad~"

"That's right, Sister Xi is afraid of bullfrogs too hhhh"

"Don't tell me, even a big man like me is a little afraid of this bullfrog."

Zhang Xiao shrugged and jokingly said, "Ahem, I didn't mean to scare you. After all, I just said I'm holding it tight, right?"

Chen Xi: "..."

"Hahaha!"

"Brother Xiao is too bad!!"

The originally slightly fearful atmosphere in the live broadcast room was quickly dissipated by Zhang Xiao's laughter and laughter.

……

At this time, in the primeval jungle.

Because both of them gradually adapted to the environment of the primitive jungle.

Therefore, they kept looking around along the way, silently observing.

However, basically, in the rainforest, there are so many insects.They followed everyone's itinerary all the way, and would bite them or suck some blood if they had a chance.

Of course, fortunately, under Zhang Xiao's admonition, Chen Xi immediately tightened his trousers and took measures to repel insects.Sure enough, there were leeches as thick as fingers, and they crawled up Chen Xi's calves along the trousers, which shocked her at the time! !

"Do you want to catch bullfrogs? I've already caught several. Do you want to try?" Zhang Xiao asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Chen Xi's face was filled with rejection.

"You really don't want to try? In fact, these bullfrogs are very docile and won't bite people!!"

Chen Xi looked extremely nervous, but still shook her head firmly.

"This guy is too strong. I'm afraid I won't be able to catch it and let it slip away."

However, after struggling for a long time, Chen Xi gritted his teeth, but still stood up.

"Forget it, I want to try it! Isn't it just a bullfrog?? I won't let you down, and let the audience in the live broadcast room laugh at me!"

"Oh, why are you suddenly not afraid??"

Zhang Xiao asked in surprise.

Chen Xi said with a serious expression: "It's okay, as long as you don't be a toad."

Zhang Xiao had a half-smile but not a smile: "Haha, good job, come on!!!"
