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

"Do you still remember the pool we saw when we went to the woods today?"

Zhao Yeqing nodded. There was a wild boar carcass that was seriously injured and died by a clouded leopard beside the turbid yellow pool.

Mu Xi recalled the experience he had learned in the past, "It doesn't look like the water pool has been dug out for a long time. The traces of yellow mud on the edge of the water pool are still very new. There was a period of temperature drop a few years ago. I suspect that was when the elephants flocked." Left the meadow.”

Zhao Yeqing didn't understand what he meant: "Then if you put it this way, if the elephants left and the wild boars came over, the traces of the water pool wouldn't be so new. It's only half a year old."

And what does this have to do with wild boar attacks?

Mu Xi's idea was rather roundabout. After organizing his words, he explained: "Generally speaking, there will be no large-scale migration of animals during the winter period. This was a natural law in the past. Even if many animals are not hibernating, they will Entering semi-hibernation mode.”

"Like that raccoon dog before?"

"Yes, the wild boars may have come back after the beginning of spring, and I guess the reason for coming back is not that simple. They were probably driven here."

When Mu Xi said this, the forgotten details in Zhao Yeqing's mind gradually came together:

"The wild boar was driven from its original territory, so its mood was unstable. And after being driven here, it finally found a forest where the elephants had migrated away, and was attacked again?"

Many animals will return from lower altitudes to higher altitudes after the temperature warms up, so as to avoid both the cold in winter and the heat in summer.

The story that Zhao Yeqing put together in his mind was that some kind of animal drove away the wild boars after the spring. The wild boars that had just arrived nearby had not been around for long, and the wild boars that were unfamiliar with the surrounding environment broke into their house while looking for food. Enjoy the broken wall.

After the two men killed their companions, the two men gave the body of the wild boar to the clouded leopards. The clouded leopards, who had taken advantage of the wild boar, pursued the victory into the pine forest and seriously injured one of the two escaped wild boars. The seriously injured wild boar returned. He went to the quagmire and tried to heal his wounds, but failed. He was seriously injured and died on the edge of the pond.

The two of them had a great time guessing. There was nothing new in the mountains. Structuring a thing from beginning to end based on clues was a rare and fun way to pass the time.

Not to mention that this guess can also dispel the concerns of the two people. If it is true as guessed, as long as the animal that drove the wild boar away does not appear nearby, they will not be in any danger.

From that day on, Mu Xi tried to take the cattle and sheep farther away to graze, giving the grass at home a little buffer time to grow again.

The weather is getting warmer, there is no smell of animal feces on the grass outside the yard, and the wind blowing in from the window is fragrant.

The fragrance is emitted by the lotus. The climate in the meadow is now warm. The temperature has been rising slowly since the beginning of summer. It has just arrived in early July. There are no ducks in the lotus pond to cause trouble. This year's flowers have finally bloomed smoothly.

The tender pink petals gradually fade as they approach the lotus pod, and finally turn white, pure and delicate. They are even more beautiful when there are still some dewdrops falling in the morning. The crystal water drops drip on the lotus leaves below, and are not stained by them. The water lotus leaf looks like a crystal clear glass bead.

When she got up early in the morning, the wind blowing on the meadow was still a bit cool. Zhao Yeqing was ordered by Mu Xi not to drink ice water in the morning. It was better to drink warm water for her health. For a time, she thought she had seen her grandma. .

The hotter the weather, the less likely you are to drink ice, saying it will hurt your body even more. From the initial resistance when I was a child, to the unaccustomed feeling of returning to the mountains after the ground cracking, I have gradually gotten used to it over the years. Let’s do it together in the morning. He spontaneously poured a glass of warm water.

Holding it in hand, I slowly swayed out of the yard and stood by the pond admiring the lotus flowers.

Smash it with your mouth, tasting the sweetness of honey in your mouth. In your mind, you can think of what was written in the ancient costume dramas. Those ladies and concubines got up early in the morning to collect dewdrops to make tea. They said it would be better. drink.

Tsk, she doesn’t even have tea leaves.

But even if there was, she might not be able to tell the difference between dew and tap water.

Speaking of tea, the tea bran used to wash hair at home is gone. Even if there are no dangerous animals in the pine forest, the two of them would not dare to cross over and go to Yunwu Mountain to pick tea fruits. They can only wash their hair. Use fermented rice water and add soapberry or honey locust to make shampoo.

Sometimes Zhao Yeqing would directly use soapberry lotion to wash his hair, so that it would not have the sour smell of fermented rice water.

Just using soapberry is a bit harmful to your hair. Even if it is natural, it is an alkaline detergent after all. It is better to use it without tea bran. Washing your hair with tea bran not only nourishes your hair, but also does not have a strange smell, and even It has a slight foaming effect and is best used among natural shampoos.

Why don't you go take a look at the slope over there?

When Mu Xi heard her mention it, he stopped as he was about to open the corral and let the animals out to graze.

"If you want to go, you have to start preparing now. Tea fruits mature in summer. If you don't go now, it will be out of season."

Zhao Yeqing put down the honey cup in his hand and immediately went to pack his things. He had to do what he decided to do quickly, otherwise he would not want to move without dragging it. It had been more than a year since the mountain collapsed over there. If he didn't go to the animals that were originally driven away, Maybe they all have to come back.

The animals in this season are not as ferocious as the animals that hunt for food in autumn and winter. The two of them discussed whether to move the electric car to the edge of the cliff.

"The straight-line distance from the edge of the cliff we often go to to the slope is only a few hundred meters. If there are any obstacles in the way, clear them. If we can ride the little electric donkey up and down the slope, our efficiency can be doubled several times."

Mu Xi thought the same thing, but he was a little worried about what to do if the road was too bumpy. It would be even more troublesome if the tire burst.

"Let's take a look at the terrain first. At least we both get to the edge of the slope first."

If it doesn't work, just cut out a road, and fill in the uneven areas with rocks and stones. Even if it's a big detour, you can always get past it.

In fact, when the ground cracked, it was not impossible for her to get over the mountain. The cracked ground was tens of meters wide and she could cut down two of the tallest trees to build a bridge in the middle. It would have been possible, but it was a bit dangerous. But it's not impossible.

The older pine trees in the mountains are more than fifty meters tall.

It's just that she doesn't want to go, and she might encounter something wrong if she goes out.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yeqing glanced at Mu Xi who was packing things next to him, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved, thinking that if Mu Xi hadn't come back and she was alone, she might have actually found a way to get out of the forest one day.

For example, there was an opportunity to go from Meishan to the meadow due to lack of water.

The moment the two of them packed their things, closed the door and went downstairs, no one noticed that the radio placed beside the bed made a subtle buzzing sound.
