Global check-in: First stop, check in at Fanjing Mountain

early morning,

The convoy left the hotel, cut through the mist, faced the rising sun, and drove towards the cloud grassland.

The scenery along the way is picturesque.

The fields are crisscrossed, the farmlands are scattered, the grass is lush, and the flowers are dotted.

As the terrain continues to rise, the clouds float before our eyes, as if they can be picked up with our hands.

Cloud Grassland,

It gets its name because of its high terrain, which is connected to the Tianshan Mountains and stretches to the horizon. The climate in the mountainous area is unpredictable and is often shrouded in clouds and mist.

Two hours later.

The convoy climbed several steep slopes in succession.

suddenly,

A vast expanse of grassland appeared before everyone.

The endless meadow is full of various small flowers, and the eyes are full of lush green.

The white yurts, like large wild mushrooms, are scattered across the vast grassland.

The convoy drove for twenty minutes on the vaguely discernible road in the grassland.

Yunqi stopped the car and Su Luoyao couldn't wait to open the door.

As soon as you get off the bus,

The scent of green grass mixed with wild flowers wafts into the air.

Walking on the soft grass, soft clouds floating above the head, the sight is filled with golden lotus flowers blooming all over the mountains.

From the perspective of Yunqi,

Su Luoyao seemed to be walking in the clouds and in the sky.

A breeze blew by, soft and with a sweet smell.

Yunqi couldn't help but think of a wonderful description in Muir's "A Summer Day Through the Mountains":

"The mountain breeze is so gentle,

These quiet, gentle currents of air should hardly be called wind; they are more like the breath of nature, whispering soothing words to the ears of all living things.

The breathing of nature, what an apt metaphor!

It's far away from the hustle and bustle and very quiet here.

Anyone who walks in here can seem to hear the sound of nature breathing.

Snow mountain grassland

Stream pine forest

Flower sea and mist~

Cattle, sheep, and horses~

It makes people feel like being in a fairy tale world.

……

Li Zhe deliberately slowed down a bit before slowly parking the car.

He and Liu Qing followed behind the team.

"What did the King talk to you about while riding? You seemed very happy." Li Zhe asked tentatively.

"Didn't you say anything?" Liu Qing didn't expect Li Zhe to ask this question suddenly. He was unprepared and just answered it casually.

"He ran so slowly on purpose, just to get beaten, but you couldn't do it." Li Zhe continued.

"We are all teammates, how can we really fight?" Liu Qing frowned, a little unhappy.

"You'd better stay away from him." Li Zhe suggested.

"Why?" Liu Qing roughly guessed what Li Zhe was thinking and asked deliberately.

"You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others." Li Zhe lowered his voice and threw out a famous saying.

Liu Qing was speechless and changed the subject, "They are going far away, let's catch up."

Li Zhe saw that Liu Qing didn't want to continue the topic, so he stopped talking and quickly followed.

Liu Qing is sometimes still as innocent as a child.

He saw a dandelion.

Squat down, pick it up, put it to your mouth, take a deep breath, and blow it again, and the snowflakes will fall.

"gorgeous!"

Li Zhe was stunned not far away.

The two continued forward and caught up with the team.

Su Luoyao, Liu Qing, Ge Mo, Yu Meng, Xiao Mei.

They all put on red, white and floral dresses, which fluttered in the wind.

Three women and one drama.

What’s more, there are five of them!

Individual assignments, group assignments.

One by one, we took photos at different angles and laughed happily.

Yunqi, Pingdi, Xifan and other full-time photographers are exhausted.

It’s almost time for lunch.

Zhen Wang, Lao Tie, Li Zhe, Little Lion and others took out the stove and prepared ingredients and started to make a fire and cook.

Two hours later.

The cloud lunch begins.

Everyone took out their tableware, sat in a circle, and ate happily.

After lunch,

After packing up, the convoy headed towards Xiata Scenic Area.

after an hour,

Passing by a sea of ​​rapeseed flowers.

Su Luoyao suggested stopping the car and resting for half an hour before setting off again.

Everyone parked their car by the roadside.

After getting off the car, there was another round of crazy taking pictures.

Yunqi saw a beekeeper busy at work on the roadside twenty meters away.

He walked up to the beekeeper and started chatting with him.

Yunqi asked loudly, "Where are you from?"

The other person grinned: "I came from Yunnan?"

Yunqi was curious: "Don't we have rapeseed flowers in the south? Why are they so far away?"

"The flowers bloom earlier in the south, and there are no more flowers this season."

Yunqi realized: "You just followed the flowers all the way here."

"Yes, wherever there are flowers, I will go there."

The beekeeper chatted with Yunqi while inspecting his beehive.

A swarm of bees left the hive, flying up and down, making a buzzing sound.

The beekeeper was very talkative and gradually became familiar with Yunqi.

"Worker bees have to leave the nest to collect honey 15 days after they are born. After 30 days, they are almost old bees and are responsible for tasks such as scouting for honey sources or defending against enemies.

During the intensive flowering period, some bees work selflessly and their three-month lifespan will be reduced to about one month.

When their lives are exhausted, they quietly leave the apiary and their whereabouts are unknown.

Every time bees appear, they have to collect nectar from hundreds or thousands of flowers to fill their tiny honey sacs.

If I get lost on the way home, I will starve to death rather than take the honey from the honey bag. "

The beekeeper told his story, and Yunqi gained a better understanding and admiration for bees.

"How many bees do you raise?" Yunqi asked.

"150" the beekeeper said a number.

"150 million?" Yunqi asked curiously, puzzled.

"It's 150 boxes. I can't count the exact number," the beekeeper corrected.

“These 150 boxes should bring in enough income in a year,” Yunqi continued.

"A few hundred thousand is barely enough to support my family." The beekeeper took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Yunqi.

"Thank you! I don't smoke." Yunqi doesn't smoke and declined his kindness.

……

"Why are you here?"

When Yunqi was chatting happily with the beekeeper, Su Luoyao came over.

Yunqi looked back upon hearing the voice: "Why are you here?"

Su Luoyao smiled and said, "It's almost time, let's get in the car."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the honey on the small table at the entrance of the tent and asked, "How much is your honey?"

The beekeeper took a puff of his cigarette and grinned, "50 per pound, 100 per bucket."

Su Luoyao: "This bucket of yours is two kilograms."

The beekeeper nodded: "Yes, just enough, not less."

Su Luoyao looked up at Yunqi and asked for his opinion: "Let's buy a bottle and try it back."

Yunqi smiled and nodded, then asked the beekeeper, "Can I pay via WeChat?"

“Sure.” The beekeeper took out his mobile phone, swiped the WeChat payment code, and handed it to Yunqi.

drop!

Payment successful.

Yunqi took the honey and returned to the car with Su Luoyao.
