Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

This tea tree not only bears tea seeds, but many of them have fallen from the branches after they have matured and dried.

The dried tea fruit is round, a little rough to the touch, and dark brown in appearance. The skin of the tea fruit that is not completely dried is still reddish-brown-green.

Some of them had been smashed open when they landed on the ground, revealing the black tea seeds inside.

Just like the mangosteen without the green pedicle, the tea seeds inside are black.

Some unripe and sun-dried tea seeds are white, and from a distance they look more like mangosteen pulp.

It’s just that the outer skin of the tea fruit is very hard, and the tea seeds inside are also hard.

Some tea fruits are already ripe and dry on the branches, and they crack open, revealing the black tea seeds.

The two hurriedly collected the tea seeds scattered on the ground and the tea seeds on the trees into the basket.

At first glance, tea seeds look like black chestnuts. When you put them under your nose and smell them, you can smell the rich aroma of oil.

Zhao Yeqing remembered that people in the village used to go to the mountains to pick tea seeds before the frost, saying that the tea seeds had the highest oil yield at that time.

But now, due to the weather, the quality of the tea seeds now seems to be almost the same as those collected before the frost.

But not all tea seeds are ripe, and some tea seeds that have not been dried and mature are still hanging on the branches, looking like small peaches that have just started to turn from green to red.

After the two gathered the two tea trees at the foot of the mountain, they headed towards the tea trees in the mountain.

When the hot weather came, the trees in the mountains were covered with long and dense moss. Zhao Yeqing thought that after such a hot weather, most of the moss in the mountains would have died.

Unexpectedly, as soon as we entered the forest, the expected scene did not appear. The moss on the trees was even greener. The further we walked into the mountains, the higher the altitude, as if we had never experienced this high temperature.

Zhao Yeqing was stunned. He stood still and pointed at the scene in front of him and asked: "Is this not in the same dimension as ours?"

The dimension must be the same dimension. Mu Xi couldn't laugh or cry, "If I had known, I would have come here to escape the summer heat."

The two of them were more and more amazed as they walked further.

The temperature over the meadow at noon is about 35 degrees, but before the two of them reach the mountainside, the temperature on Mu Xi's watch is already only about 28 degrees.

Because it rained a few days ago, the sun shines in the mountains today, and there are thin clouds and mist floating in the mountains at noon.

From time to time, there are also the sounds of birds chirping in the woods, which is a sound that has not been heard in the woods near the meadow recently.

The air is filled with the smell of woods that have been damp all year round. It is a compound smell of earth, rotten leaves and rotten wood.

When we arrived under the tea trees in the mountains, the tea fruits here were obviously not as dry as those at the foot of the mountains, and most of them were still green.

The two of them only picked the riper ones and picked the rest after a while.

The remaining fruits at the foot of the mountain are about the same maturity as most of the tea fruits in the mountains. It is expected to be picked back in about a month.

During this time, Mu Xi was carrying materials and clearing wasteland. He accidentally pulled his right arm. There was no problem in his daily life, but he couldn't lift it or use force.

Tea seeds at high places can only be picked by Zhao Yeqing with his left hand, or knocked down with a wooden stick.

After collecting all the tea seeds, the two of them had to search nearby. After all, they didn't see any wild vegetables or flowering plants along the way.

The only gain was that I got some herbs that were not found in the mountains and forests near the meadow. This place is inaccessible and has a special climate, and the types of herbs were not in the inventory at home.

They separated and wandered around first, but neither of them were familiar with the area, so they didn't dare to separate too far apart, just about ten meters apart.

The climate here is humid, and there are a lot of wild fungi. Zhao Yeqing found some clusters of fungi under the roots of the trees. The roots of the dark yellow fungi were connected together. There were about ten or twenty fungi in a cluster.

This kind was edible, but she didn't know what it was called. It looked a bit like a tea tree mushroom, and it tasted particularly fragrant after being dried.

Zhao Yeqing was looking intently, and Mu Xi behind him was also looking intently. He found traces of animals there.

The trees here are very old, and their intertwined roots occupy the land in the mountains. There are not many herbaceous plants on the ground. He found a path between the not-so-dense weeds that was obviously crushed by animals. Mark of.

The mark was not wide, and was estimated to be less than ten centimeters in diameter. It did not look like an animal like a wild boar, but more like a small weasel, but no footprints or feces were found on the ground.

There are long drag marks.

Mu Xi didn't think about snakes at all. First, he felt that the climate here was relatively cold, which was not an environment that snakes liked. Second, he thought that the width of the mark was only relative to mammals. If it were a snake, That size is also outrageous.

So he held the gun but didn't look too wary.

But when Zhao Yeqing finished picking the fungi on the ground and looked back, he almost died on the spot.

A spotted python that was about four meters tall was entrenched on the tree above Mu Xi's head. Only a small section of its long tail hung down from the middle of the leaves. Zhao Yeqing accurately captured it. The snake's body that he saw when looking up was bigger than hers. Her calves are still thick!

The python's attention was all on Mu Xi. Zhao Yeqing moved his head pretending to be nothing, and then saw the python's expression through the branches of the tree.

Most pythons are arboreal, and snakes basically attack in an ambush manner, and the speed can be so fast that people cannot react at all.

From what she observed, the snake didn't look like it was going to attack.

Yes, the two of them wandered under this big tree for more than 20 minutes. If they had really thought about it, they would have been cold.

Zhao Yeqing raised his voice slightly and said to Mu Xi as calmly as possible: "Don't look back, don't move, there is a big snake on your head, come slowly towards me."

She didn't dare to move forward, for fear of accidentally stimulating the snake to attack.

Mu Xi's body visibly froze when he heard this, and his heart was pounding. He knew Zhao Yeqing, and from hearing this tone, he estimated that the guy on his head must be quite big.

Reconnecting with the traces he had just seen, he stood up slightly and walked towards Zhao Yeqing in an unhurried manner. However, he squeezed the gun tightly in his hand. The obvious whitening of his knuckles revealed that he was not at peace in his heart. .

When he reached the vicinity of Zhao Yeqing safely, he breathed a sigh of relief and pretended not to look back at the tree.

Just one glance and he couldn't help feeling that he was really lucky.

The two planned to just pretend they didn't see it and evacuate somewhere else.

But neither of them expected that the snake actually had its own ideas, and then it moved its body and swam down from the tree.
