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

In the past, she didn't dare to ride when she was at work. There was too much traffic in the city. At eight in the morning, commuters would ride the tram very fast. It was so swishing when crossing intersections that she was so scared that she bought a small electric donkey and often squeezed into the subway.

Later, I returned to Meishan and got the three-wheeler. I originally thought that there would be less traffic here, so I could ride it when I went shopping in town without fear of being hit.

Unexpectedly, this idea was cut off before it was put into action, but now her wish has come true in a sense.

There was no way a car was going to hit her.

When Mu Xi went to get the inflator, Zhao Yeqing rode his bike around the yard a few times. The yard was covered with cement and it drove very smoothly. He wanted to try it outside the yard, but it was too dark outside now, so he could only wait in the morning. .

After having dinner early in the morning, the two of them rode their electric bikes to the woods.

The road on the meadow was uneven, and the driving was exactly as Zhao Yeqing had expected. It was shaking all the way.

Before setting off, she said in a flattering way: "When I come back in the evening, I will have to drive it back by myself. I will definitely drive it now. I need to practice my skills first, and you can show me the way from behind."

Then Zhao Yeqing appeared riding in front, and Mu Xi, a tall man who was almost 1.8 meters tall and nearly 1.9 meters tall, sat in the back seat of the small electric donkey. He was jolted up and down so much that he could only wrap his arms around Zhao Yeqing's waist.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief when they rode on the stone road.

Zhao Yeqing looked at the time and saw that it was only after eight o'clock. He parked the car and stood up to relieve his already flattened buttocks.

Mu Xi also got out of the car decisively and jumped on the spot twice before feeling comfortable.

After getting in the car again and driving to the end of the stone road, Mu Xi began to give Zhao Yeqing directions.

Without the stone slab, it was not easy to drive. It took a lot of bumping and bumping all the way to the swamp.

Mu Xi erected a wooden stick at the edge of the swamp, but the wooden stick had already been touched by the water level.

"It rained last night and lasted for two hours before stopping. The water level has risen in a few days."

Zhao Yeqing's eyes were not on the stick at all, and she looked around without blinking. This was the first time she had seen such terrain as a mountainous swamp.

I don't know if it was formed because of the swamp. Many trees had their roots covered with water. The crowns of these trees were not large, just exposing the blue sky.

The sun is just right this time, with light golden sunlight shining on the water, and the water is not turbid. It is different from the dark water in the documentary where there are crocodiles. It may be because the water is relatively shallow, and there are only a few green ones growing on the water. There are algae and patches of reeds on the edge.

Not as terrible as imagined.

The swamp in Zhao Yeqing's mind was dark water, covered with green algae, and crocodiles, piranhas and even anacondas underneath.

But now this one is not only not scary, but also kind of nice to look at.

Mu Xi pointed to the front right and said, "If you take a few steps forward, you can see the lotus I mentioned."

The two walked forward for a few minutes, and Zhao Yeqing saw the lotus that Mu Xi mentioned. It was indeed a lotus, and one of them had small lotus pods.

Zhao Yeqing was about to get closer, but Mu Xi pulled his sleeves and pulled him to squat down, "Shh!"

She was confused and panicked for a moment, thinking that she was unlucky enough to encounter a dangerous animal as soon as she entered the forest. Unexpectedly, Mu Xi's expression was not nervous but surprised, and he raised his chin towards the shore in the direction of the deep water area.

Zhao Yeqing looked in the direction and saw a small gray-brown animal standing by the water looking around.

Perhaps because he heard the movement of the two people just now, the animal seemed very alert. Zhao Yeqing stared at it for a while with his eyes wide open before coming back to his senses. He turned to look at Mu Xi and opened and closed his mouth silently:

"Otter?"

It was also the first time Mu Xi saw it. He moved gently, took out the telescope from his pocket, looked through the gaps in the reeds on the edge of the swamp, and nodded to Zhao Yeqing after making sure.

Zhao Yeqing stretched out his hand, motioning to give her the telescope and looked at the otter.

After the otter heard no more noise, it slipped into the water from the shore and soaked on its back. This otter did not look like one I had seen before in the animal world.

That kind of otter is a little bigger than this one. It is estimated that the domestic species are different, but the behavior patterns are very similar. The appearance of lying on the water and scratching the belly is very cute.

The two of them watched for ten minutes without realizing it. The otter slowly drifted away before they came back to their senses.

Zhao Yeqing was still immersed in the cuteness of that foul, "Can you keep it? It's so cute."

Mu Xi shook his head: "No, living in groups is aggressive, and they eat and poop too much. You can't stand it."

Zhao Yeqing sighed, "It would be great if there were animals in the world with long hair that don't shed, and that eat but don't poop."

Mu Xi was speechless, "How about I think of a way to give you the whole living Pixiu?"

Look what is said.

Zhao Yeqing stood up, his legs were numb from squatting, "Hurry up, hurry up, it's almost ten o'clock, I'm already late for work."

Going forward was the direction going down the mountain. Mu Xi had marked the route when he went home a few days ago. Zhao Yeqing also had three dogs with him and did not need Mu Xi to guide him.

"Go back. It's probably already afternoon when you walk back from here and drive home. I told you not to follow me and I didn't listen."

Mu Xi handed her the backpack on his back, and after repeatedly telling her to pay attention to safety, he turned around and left.

Zhao Yeqing didn't even need to read the signs. A few dogs led the way, and she followed behind and walked for an hour before arriving.

He waved his sickle and started to clear the road. The dogs were very experienced now, so there was no need for Zhao Yeqing to scare the snakes. He rushed over to drive them away as soon as they smelled the smell.

It makes people feel safe.

Zhao Yeqing walked forward, and the further he walked, the more certain he became that the direction and route they were taking was definitely inconsistent with that of the elephant herd.

There are no traces of being trampled by large animals on the vegetation. The branches and leaves in the high places are intact. On the contrary, the low herbaceous plants show signs of being eaten, and there are quite a lot of them.

There were tooth marks on the leaves that looked very familiar to Zhao Yeqing. They were traces of deer. The tooth marks on the cross sections of the leaves were very neat and could often be seen on the meadows.

And with so many deer living here, there shouldn't be any particularly ferocious animals nearby.

Thanks to the deer's grazing and trampling, Zhao Yeqing only had to follow the traces. There was already a path cleared by the deer.

The watch was on Zhao Yeqing's hand. When it reached four o'clock, he didn't delay. He turned around and walked back. He had to get home before dark.
