Chapter 342 The Beautiful Prince of the Rain Forest
Yujia shook her head and stopped discussing the issue. She led them inside and asked, "Xiao Bailong, should we eat at the Rainforest Restaurant at noon or go outside?"
"what is the difference?"
"There are singing and dancing performances at the Rainforest Restaurant, which is located in our scenic area. Outside, there are villages of various ethnic groups around here, and there are also restaurants on the roadside."
He Huan knew that the Yulin Restaurant was a tourist restaurant and the price was slightly expensive. It was mainly for watching song and dance performances.
For He Huan, eating is all about eating, and watching performances is all about watching performances. It would be awkward to mix the two. So he originally planned to find a restaurant to eat out.
Since Director Yu asked, he meant to receive them. It would be too disrespectful to refuse to dine at the Yulin Restaurant directly, or if they entertained them instead.
He Huan said: "I think we will walk on the trail first, then take a boat trip to the Nanla River, and go up to the Sky Corridor in the afternoon."
He Huan looked back at the tourists, "When we come to Banna, we still want to know about the folk customs of the Dai people, but the villages as tourist attractions are too commercialized.
I see many villages along the Nanla River, and I hope to go ashore to have a look. As for dining, I think you are the most familiar with it, Director Yu, so I’ll ask you to make arrangements."
Ask her to arrange it? Yujia smiled, and Xiaobailong said that for this reason, it is now half past ten, and other tour groups can only visit for two or three hours at most and leave at noon.
But she knew Xiao Bailong's style. He would walk slowly around a scenic spot for a day. Then he would get on the boat and it would be noon. It would be time to go ashore again.
What are you going to do ashore at noon?
Rushing for dinner!
The Yulin Restaurant has scenic song and dance performances, and it is also very large and can accommodate 800 people for dining at the same time. Many tourists will also dine in the restaurant. It is like going to the Dai Village to watch performances and eat. He felt that it was too commercialized and did not go there, so he chose to eat in the south
Lahe understands folk customs.
What a shit she arranged!
Fortunately, it was her who came to receive him, so most people wouldn't be able to tell. They would usually arrange for the Rainforest Restaurant, but the result was not to his liking.
Team Leader Yu nodded and lowered her head to type. He Huan also believed that she understood.
All the way into the forest, bunches of fruits were grown on the big branches or thick trunks of the trees, and some even grew at the base of the trunks.
The tourists were very surprised.
He Huan said: "Are the fruits you usually see growing on branches?"
Everyone nodded.
"This fruit grows on the trunk of the tree, even close to the root. This is called old stem fruiting, and it is also called old stem Huai Chun. It breaks the traditional rule that people are infertile as they grow old and trees don't bear fruit as they grow old. It is a unique spectacle in the tropical rainforest. If it is summer.
, you can also see the old stems blooming.”
"Wow!"
"As we all know, plants will bloom in locations that are easiest to attract and facilitate insects to pollinate them. However, the competition in tropical rainforests is very fierce and the land is fertile, which results in thousands of plants trying to come out in one area, and the involution is very serious."
The tourists all laughed empathetically.
Director Yu also looked at him with a smile. Xiao Bailong's explanation was indeed vivid. They would only follow the script.
"You have grown and I have grown too. I was not born on the ground, so I have taken over your land and I have to grow! In short, I have tried my best to grow taller and denser.
But the industrious little bees and the flowers-loving butterflies have not learned the competitive spirit of tropical plants, and they will not fly upwards.
No matter how beautiful your flowers are or how sweet your honey is, I don’t even bother to fly up to you. Just stay high up and compare your beauty and sweetness with all your strength. I don’t deserve to be a dog licker!”
"Hahaha……"
Director Yu couldn't hold back either.
"When the trees looked at it, hey! My heart is higher than the sky, and my heart is toward the sun, but I can't stand side by side with the sun and let the sun help me pollinate! The sun will only wither my sweetness!"
The tourists couldn't help laughing.
"Some trees are still competing for the top, and some smart guys begin to retreat to the 18th line, blooming flowers on the lower branches and even old roots. Bees and butterflies don't mind their age, they only care about whether they are pretty and sweet.
not sweet."
The tourists are going to faint with laughter.
"People have lowered their attitude so low, how could it not be sweet?"
The old stems hold fruits, and tourists hold them in their bellies.
"It is said that bumblebees and butterflies are attracted to flowers and grass. In fact, these plants are luring them. They are busy making wedding clothes for the plants and helping them reproduce their offspring.
How many years have the Crazy Bees, Langdie, and Butterfly been taking the blame? Obviously they are plants that can't walk or talk, so they had to lure the Bees and Butterflies over to help them unite and have children.
You humans are called honest people when you help others raise their children! Why are we called scum when we help others raise their children? Just because they can’t speak and look like honest people? Just because we are beautiful? That’s too much!”
"Hahaha……"
"Plants can't talk, but they have many minds! These seemingly smart insects are their tools!"
Everyone laughed and listened to what He Huan said. There were more and more people behind him. The other tour guides simply stopped talking.
In places like the Botanical Garden and Wangtianshu, there are still many people who hire tour guides, because if you don’t hire one, you won’t know these plants at all. But they will only tell tourists what kind of plants they are according to the script.
Now when He Huan opened his mouth, they were embarrassed to speak.
They don't make tourists laugh when they don't educate people about plants.
With a large group of people, He Huan suddenly raised his head and said, "You see, in the rain forest, the trees have to grow old and bear the spring, and let the insects help them give birth to children. But they themselves can make trees and grass."
Everyone laughed again and looked up at the lush grass on the trees.
"If summer comes, there will be flowers on the trees, forming a hanging garden."
"We must come next summer!" the tourists said, "the little white dragon is like those plants, it has been tempting us!"
He Huan glanced at them, "Why are you so bad? You make me look like a vegetable."
"Hahaha……"
"You are a vegetable, and you are also a vegetable that attracts bees and butterflies!" said a female tourist.
The tourists laughed.
Director Yu also laughed.
He Huan was speechless and then smiled: "This is the intricate relationship of the rain forest. You use me and I use you to form a three-dimensional ecological wonder of the rain forest."
The tourists nodded and walked all the way through the dense and cool rainforest.
"Look up!" He Huan suddenly stopped, "It's so beautiful. It doesn't attract bees or butterflies. It's all about your own tree!"
"Wow!" Everyone raised their necks, "Is this the Sky-Wangshu?"
The green branches and leaves stand straight into the blue sky, standing tall and straight, with a heroic posture.
Tourists took out their mobile phones one after another, and it was difficult to take a complete photo.
He Huan patted the tree trunk, "Look at the straight trunk with no branches. Do you know why?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Just prevent those unethical guys in the tropical rainforest from strangulating and clinging to you."
"Hahaha……"
"Then I like this tree!" The female tourist who hated the strangler fig deeply caressed the straight trunk, "It looks so smart!"
"You can see it more clearly when you go up to the sky corridor in the afternoon." He Huan said, "Its branches and leaves grow on top of other tree crowns, and they are not thick branches."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"Although he is tall, he is very handsome."
"It's like a little white dragon." said one tourist.
"How can you be so honest?"
The laughter was so startling that all the birds in the rain forest flew away.
Director Yu looked at him with a smile.
He Huan continued: "The Wangtian tree is tall, straight and handsome, so it is called the rainforest giant and the beautiful prince of the rainforest. It is difficult for other plants to climb up to it."
Everyone looked at him with a smile, always feeling like he was boasting.
"There is a saying that flies don't bite seamless eggs. This is biased, but hemlocks and palm trees are easily strangled, which does have something to do with themselves. Although they are also straight, they have too many gaps in their skin and too many leaves.
Big."
The tourists smiled and nodded.
"They are easily exploited by the strangler fig. Including other vines, such as the tree grass we just saw, palms and hemlocks are easily parasitized by other plants.
But in the rainforest where everyone loves and kills each other, the sky tree is unique. Even if birds bring the seeds of other plants to its branches and leaves, it is so tall and has such delicate branches and leaves, and the wind is strong above, so it will be blown down casually.
Let's imagine that the green branches and green leaves of a sky-gazing tree are swaying twenty or thirty meters above the canopy of other trees. The banyan tree can only look up at it and imagine that one day it can grow that tall.
Finally one day, a strangler fig seed was carried by a bird to the branches and leaves of the Wangtian tree, and he said happily: Hey, brother, you have been entangled by me today! I want to take your place as a rainforest giant.
Wangtianshu ignored it. The banyan tree finally withstood the wind and rain, sprouted, and gave birth to white and fat little hands. It climbed and climbed on its bare tree. After climbing for a long time, it could not see the ground.
All are the crowns of other trees, what would the banyan tree say?”
Tourists looked at him like a group of curious babies. Several children looked at him with bright eyes.
"The banyan tree said: Oh my god! I'm afraid of heights, I can't go down! There's no place to rest, who will save the baby?"
"Hahaha……"
"Except for the banyan tree that climbs down, it is also difficult for other vines that climb up. They are tall and smooth."
"Like a little white dragon."
He Huan looked at the tourists and said, "Yeah."
Amidst everyone's laughter, he continued: "But how did such a handsome rainforest prince become an endangered plant and require first-level protection in our country? Do you know?"
"That must be because he has too much personality." said a tourist.
Others looked at He Huan curiously, wondering why his visitor said that.
He Huan smiled, this is what I said in the botanical garden yesterday. Plants with unique characteristics are always endangered.
"Prince of the Rainforest!" He Huan said, "Do you think he is the Prince of Dubai?"
"Hahaha……"
"There are only so many princes!"
Amid everyone's laughter, He Huan said seriously: "Yes! This has something to do with his personality. He only cares about growing taller and looking at the scenery of the rainforest, and does not consider future generations. He is not down-to-earth."
The tourists laughed like crazy. Director Yu also looked at him with a smile. Only now did he remember that he quickly turned on his mobile phone to record the video. If this was to be posted online, wouldn’t Wangtianshu be popular?
In Xiao Bailong's explanation, plants can talk and have feelings!
I also looked at several tour guides at scenic spots and was very pleased to see that they were all listening carefully.
"He is so tall, when you look down you see the ground, but when he looks down you see the tree crowns."
"Hahaha……"
"It has very few fruits to begin with. I can't imagine how many fruits will grow smoothly in such a high position? During the flowering period, many of them will be blown away by the rain and wind."
Everyone nodded, feeling a little sad.
"Then it will bear a few fruits. It is not as unruly as the banyan tree. If its baby falls, it will be difficult for it to fall to the ground."
Everyone covered their faces, it was so miserable.
He Huan lowered his head, "Can you find its baby?"
Everyone lowered their heads and looked for the poor and rare baby of Wangtianshu on the ground. A few children were picking up the leaves with both hands, looking especially enthusiastically.
He Huanxiao looked at them. It was strange that they could find him. They didn't even recognize him!
After a while, Director Yu picked up a withered fruit and gave it to him.
Everyone's eyes widened in surprise, "Is this the baby of Wangtianshu?"
"Yes!" He Huan pinched the fruit of the Sky-Watching Tree that looked like a dead leaf butterfly, "This poor baby has a pair of small wings. Do you know why?"
"Why?" Everyone looked closely at the poor baby.
"Because bees and butterflies can't fly from the top! The Wangtian tree still loves the babies. It's so high, and I'm afraid they will fall and be broken, so the old mother can only give them a pair of wings."
"Oh!" Everyone was moved by the plants again.
"One day, a gust of wind blew, and the baby, like a little angel, broke away from the branch. It opened its wings like a parachute in the wind and flew precariously.
Most of them flew to the huge crowns of other trees. For example, this one shriveled and sunburned in the crowns of other trees before falling down. It could no longer be born.”
"Ah! So pitiful!" Everyone looked at the poor baby. One little girl's eyes were red.
"Others are lucky enough to fall to the ground before dying, but we don't know where the wind will take them. If the environment is not suitable, it will be difficult for it to survive."
Everyone looked up at the poor tree and the poor baby.
"Finally, a seed fell on the right land at the right time, sprouted, and grew taller. Its flowers contain spice oil, and its leaves can detoxify and treat eczema. In the rainforest area, this effect is so great
precious."
Everyone covered their faces.
"Then the trunk of one tree reaches several other trees. It has no scars on the branches, is straight and hard, has strong corrosion resistance, is not susceptible to insects, has a straight texture, a uniform structure, is easy to process, has a smooth cut surface, and has beautiful patterns...
…”
Everyone can't listen anymore.
He Huan continued: "It is high-grade wood used for making furniture. A sky-gazing tree is like a dowry."
"Woooo..." The little girl with red eyes grabbed her mother, "Mom, I don't want a dowry, and we don't want to chop down trees."
Everyone laughed.
He Huan also smiled and stroked the trunk, "So, its own character makes it a very rare and endangered plant."
"It's like a little white dragon." One tourist added.
He Huan was speechless.
The tourists and tour guides around all laughed.
Team leader Yu looked at him with a smile. For the Yunzhou tourism circle, the little white dragon is rare, extremely valuable, and needs to be protected.
Along the way, he explained all kinds of strange plants and animals in the rainforest. The tour guide of the scenic spot was silent and followed him.
After walking through the rainforest, walking to the pier, and boarding a kayak, the tour guides of the scenic spot realized what they were doing and left with their respective tourists.
