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

Just passing an electric car, it is enough to clear a width of two meters, which is some relatively tall grass and wood that can be broken by hand. It takes less than ten minutes to clear it.

Mu Xi looked at the stretch of road ahead that was not broken or cracked, and said, "Ride a little further and have a look."

Zhao Yeqing trotted forward to look at the traffic conditions in front of the road.

There is a turning not far ahead. The road in the gap between the mountains also surrounds the mountains. The turning is blocked by mountains. You can only see the road conditions by running ahead and crossing the turning.

Zhao Yeqing jogged for a short distance and crossed the corner. After confirming that the road conditions were intact before the next turn, he asked Mu Xi to ride off the electric bike.

Mu Xi returned the same way. When going uphill, he pulled the rope up. When Zhao Yeqing came down with the rope, Mu Xi tied the other end to the big tree above. When he came down again, he rode an electric bike. Squeeze the brake and move down a little bit.

When riding on the road, both of them felt like they were in another world. Riding on a flat road was indeed a long time coming.

After driving forward for ten minutes, the two finally saw the road leading up the mountain to the village. It was a fork in the road. The road ahead was also cut off by a crack in the ground, and the only way up the mountain was possible.

"It seems we can only go straight up."

Zhao Yeqing got out of the car, took out a water bottle from his backpack and poured some water to feed Xiao Hei who was running along.

Two cracks appeared in such a short distance, but there was almost no such situation on the mountains and meadows.

Zhao Yeqing thought of what he had seen from the Meishan ranger's observation tower. The entire town was like the center of a nearby ground crack, with cracks spreading from the town to the surrounding areas like dark spider webs.

It's as if this ground rift breaks out specifically in places with frequent human activities...

Putting away their thoughts, after Xiao Hei finished drinking the water, the two of them rode on the road up the mountain.

The plants on both sides of the road have become so lush that they are vertical to the middle of the road. They are almost all tall thatch with sharp blades. At first, you can lower your head to avoid the leaves. But as you go up the mountain, the leaves get closer and closer. If it hangs down, we can only get out of the car and cut the grass first.

Or first bend over and go up the mountain through the grass.

The two parked the electric scooter in place, and Xiao Hei, who didn't need to avoid the thatch, had already run ahead. The two of them bent over and walked for five minutes before passing the section with the thickest thatch.

There are very tall trees on the roadside in front, and the roots of the trees below are tangled and filled with soil. It may be because of the increased rain in the past few years. The soil loss nearby is somewhat serious, and there is no place for the tree roots to grow. We can only break through the road and get out.

A small part of the cement road was destroyed, but it did not affect the passage of the two people's small electric vehicles at all.

Still no village was seen ahead, and no Xiao Hei was seen either.

The two remembered that the altitude here was not high, so they simply walked up first and came back to pick up the car after making sure there was a house.

After walking all the way up for more than twenty minutes, after rounding a corner, their vision suddenly became clearer.

The mountain walls on both sides of the road no longer extend forward, and are replaced by farmland that has been reclaimed bit by bit by the villagers. However, it has not been cultivated for a long time and has been completely occupied by plants. The farmland can be identified by the very distinctive terraced terrain. Mark of.

Surrounding the rows of terraced fields are wooden buildings with distinctive ethnic characteristics.

Some wooden buildings have decayed and collapsed, and only a few houses made of bricks or houses made of bricks and wood are still standing firmly in the mountains.

The location extracted from the vague memory was found, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as Zhao Yeqing looked around, he saw the tea tree they were looking for in the field not far away. The tree was already full of tea fruits, some of which were so ripe that they exploded and fell to the ground.

The purpose of the two people's trip was this tea tree. Unexpectedly, they had already accomplished their goal halfway through the first day. It went incredibly smoothly.

The original plan was to go out for two or three days, but there was no need to rush to pick it right away. Zhao Yeqing was in a good mood and walked slowly to the nearest house. As he walked, he looked around for the vegetable and food fields nearby. Maybe he could find some that he didn't have at home. crop.

The possibility is relatively small. What can be eaten by humans can also be eaten by other animals. If you look carefully, you might be able to find one or two hidden in the corner, but it is difficult to support a single tree. The weeds in the field are so thick that they may have been strangled long ago. .

It’s still the principle of survival of the fittest.

Xiao Hei, who was running in front, caught a big green grasshopper, held it down with his paw, lowered his head and took it into his mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it. Zhao Yeqing couldn't stop it even if he wanted to.

Forget it, it's okay to eat it, just treat it as a snack, but she looked at her diaphragm and responded a little.

He took out a piece of dried meat from his backpack and threw it over, "Stop running around, there's something to eat here."

Dogs are always more excited when they go to a strange place, smelling everywhere and leaving their own scent, but they are afraid that something will come out and attack them, so they can't let Xiao Hei run around and have to follow him.

There are terraces around here, and when the terraces are planted, the water is also poured down from above. There has been a lot of rainfall in the past two years, and the water flow is too large. Before the gate is opened, it has to flow down from above. It was just that the original villagers set this up. Blocked by the gate, it can only flow away through the drainage ditch.

Generally, the drainage ditches in the village are not clean, and the dirt from the livestock sheds or overflowing septic tank water will flow into them. However, after so many years, nothing dirty comes from them. The originally dirty drainage ditches are now very dirty. It's clear, and there are small fish and shrimps jumping around in it.

There is also a fishy smell in the surrounding air, which can easily mask the smell of other animals. Xiao Hei relies on his sense of smell. If he is not careful, he will be attacked and injured accidentally.

Xiao Hei, who was satisfied with the dried meat, followed the two of them and walked into the first house.

This is a house with a brick structure and a wooden structure. The upper floor looks a bit decayed. The two of them definitely didn't dare to go upstairs. They only planned to take a look at the first floor. They were still observing at the door before entering, fearing that they would just walk in. The top collapsed.

The moment the door on the first floor opened, the two of them took a few steps back. They stared at the wooden structure upstairs and didn't see any looseness or hear any strange noises. Then they got closer and looked inside.

The light on the first floor is not very good. According to the living habits here, people do not live on the first floor. The first floor is only used for stacking firewood or raising livestock. The toilets of some houses are also placed on the first floor for easy connection to the house. Septic tanks, people live on the second floor.

Mu Xi took out a flashlight, and the ultra-bright outdoor flashlight beam illuminated the first floor as if a light with dozens of watts was turned on.
