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

Tourist Area?

Zhao Yeqing thought about the animal community he saw on the nearby meadow last time, and wondered if it would change if he went to a tourist area and to a higher altitude.

"I'll go with you and see what's going on over there."

The tropical rainforest is obviously different from other places in addition to its warmth and humidity. It also has vegetation coverage. The trees are lush and the crown width is huge. From top to bottom, there is basically no trace of land. Everything as far as the eye can see is vegetation.

In addition to vegetation blocking the view from above, clouds and fog may also block the view.

Seas of forest, sea of ​​clouds, and seas of fog are also characteristics of rainforests.

When the two set out in the morning, the fog was thick along the way. Different from the cool mountain fog before, the fog now was like agarwood curling up with thick smoke.

Thick and heavy, when the car breaks into the sea of ​​fog, it makes people subconsciously want to close their eyes, always feeling like they are about to hit something real.

It was still early, and whether it was because there were fewer animals on the meadow at this time, or because they ran away when they heard the movement of the car, Zhao Yeqing didn't look at any animals along the way.

Mu Xi turned the steering wheel at a very slow speed. Even with the high-beam headlights on, he could not shine out. He stared straight ahead, "The fog is too thick now and the visibility is not high. When we come back, the fog will dissipate a little." , maybe you can see it.”

Zhao Yeqing nodded with a 'hmm'. Even though he couldn't see his feet in the distance, he could still see clearly. The vegetation became denser as he walked towards the tourist area, and the weeds almost covered half of the wheels.

We set off at 7 o'clock in the morning. The journey usually takes more than 40 minutes. Today we drove for an hour and a half. When we arrived at the tourist area, the visibility finally became higher.

It's not that the fog has dissipated, but that the fog has risen as a whole and is dense in the air above our heads.

The sun has come out now. There is not much sunlight left through the thick fog, but with the intensity of the sunshine recently, it is estimated that the fog will dissipate in a short time.

The car drove into the tourist area. The roads inside were paved with tiles and cement and were much easier to drive than grass. After driving in, the two of them stayed in the car for a while, observing the surroundings to see if there were any traces of animals.

Don't let the two of them get attacked by surprise as soon as they get there.

Mu Xi opened the rear window and asked Xiao Hei, who was sitting in the back seat, to help check the situation. Xiao Hei stuck out his tongue and put his paws on the edge of the car window to look around. After staying there for a while, nothing happened. It took a dog to open the door and get out of the car.

As soon as he opened the door, Xiao Hei jumped down and sniffed everywhere with his nose raised. Mu Xi came over and took Zhao Yeqing's hand, "Let's go together, don't separate."

A little further ahead is the parking lot. The purpose of their trip was to get old tires. They could have driven the car directly to the parking lot, but the front had collapsed.

I don’t know if it’s because the wooden B&Bs in the climate change tourist area have been exposed to rain, dampness, and sweltering heat. The buildings have rotted and collapsed, blocking the road in front.

When Zhao Yeqing came here last time, he took a few quilts here and left. "It's a pity. There are a lot of mattresses in here, but this kind of wooden house seems to deteriorate faster the less people live in it. I don't know why."

In the village at the foot of the mountain, there used to be a young family who bought a house and took the old man out to live there. In less than half a year, the old man said he couldn't adapt and wanted to come back.

The newly built house at home had been vacant for only half a year. When he came back to live in it, he stepped on it and there was a hole in the floor. Fortunately, the old man was fine.

At that time, the old people in the village said that the less popular a house is, the faster it will deteriorate. Someone must always live in it to be able to withstand it if it is popular.

The two walked around the ruins of the collapsed wooden building to the parking lot, picked out two flat tires, cut off the tire skin with a knife and took them back to the car.

Zhao Yeqing tried his best to fill up his trunk every time he came to the tourist area. Now it seems that there is nothing he can take back, but he still feels a bit disadvantaged if he has to go back with an empty trunk.

His eyes wandered around the house next to him, and finally settled on the security window.

"There were a lot of mosquitoes before, and the screen that was removed last time could only be fixed to the window frame. Recently, there are not so many mosquitoes. How about we replace the window frame?"

Mu Xi definitely had no objection. He recalled that he had measured the size of the windows when he got the screens back, found the windows with the most suitable sizes, removed them and put them in the trunk.

When he returned home, the fog on the meadow no longer blocked his sight. Zhao Yeqing opened the car window and drove back slowly.

The temperature on this section of the road is lower than that near home, maybe because it is at the mouth of the canyon. When I came in the morning, I could still feel a slight chill. Now the temperature is suitable, and it is very comfortable to open the window to let in the breeze.

Xiao Hei also likes to ride in cars. Mu Xi rolled down the car window for him, and he put his two paws on the edge of the car window and looked outside with his tongue out.

In the distance, the deer were grazing with their heads down. When they heard the movement of the car, they were frightened and looked up in the direction of the car. It wasn't until the car drove away that they saw them lowering their heads to graze again in the rearview mirror.

The amount of water in the original small streams on the meadow increased a lot, and it overflowed from the small ditches and formed many small puddles on the meadow.

From a distance, you can see some long-legged birds like cranes or egrets pacing slowly on the edge of the puddles. Look at their movements of dropping into the puddles and pecking at them from time to time...

Zhao Yeqing said thoughtfully: "I suspect there are a lot of shrimps in those creeks. It's already in season. Find time to get more. I need to prepare more shrimp skins and shrimp powder this year. I got them in the spring. That’s really not enough to eat.”

Mu Xi thought of the two of them who went fishing for shrimps the year before last. They worked hard for a long time. He didn't know if the quantity this year would be more than in previous years, but the bamboo raft he used last time could no longer be launched into the water.

“This year I have to build a new bamboo raft if I want to go to the middle of the lake.”

Zhao Yeqing sighed helplessly: "I don't know when human civilization will recover. It's really inconvenient not to be able to buy things. It would be so convenient if I could buy a kayak online at this time."

In terms of orientation, if the direction of home is the front and the direction of the tourist area is the back, then there are several mountains and forests on the left and right that the two of them have never explored.

A more directional map of the meadow area, but it’s not very rigorous, just easy to understand.

The closest I got was when I took Xiaohong to the tourist area on foot for the first time before I had a car. I spent the night on the meadow and picked up some firewood on the edge of the forest.

The forest on the left is also the direction that the jackals took when they left the tourist area.

Those long-legged birds never leaned into the woods on either side. Looking at them like this, because the light in the meadow was relatively bright, the two woods looked very dark and dark inside. Zhao Yeqing looked away after a few glances.

As the car slowly drove past the hillside in front of my house, I saw dogs running around in the grain fields.

Both of them went out today, so the dog had to stay at home to look after the house. When they heard the sound of the car, they rushed over to greet them one by one.

Zhao Yeqing was almost knocked down by Dahuang as soon as he got out of the car. She smiled and hugged Dahuang, and the dog's head rubbed against her neck crazily, making her itchy.

He had no choice but to hold Dahuang's dog's head and push it away, and said with a smile, "Let me see whose girl has given birth to three children and is still so lively."

"Woof!" (?˙▽˙?)!
