Because he wanted to go to Anguo as early as possible, classmate Le stayed overnight near a famous mining town near the sea in the southern desert of Namibia. He grabbed Yan Shuaiyan's strong man and helped him dig up succulents all night. At noon the next day, he took a small plane to go deep.
We stayed in the inner grassland for one night and returned to the capital of Nano on the 12th.
That day was Monday. When he returned to the capital of Namibia, Young Master Yan accompanied Little Loli to go to the Anguo Embassy to get a visa. He also returned the guns borrowed from the Great Celestial Empire's embassy in Namibia.
There is only a boundary river between Nami and Anguo, and they are connected by airplanes and roads. Many trades between Great China and Anguo use Nami as a transit point and rely on roads to circulate.
The two countries are very close to each other. The famous Red Clay Man tribe has the same origin and they all live on both sides of the Kunene River, the boundary river. There are road entry checkpoints on the border between the two countries.
Young Master Yan and his classmates took a bus to Angola on the morning of the 13th. The cross-border tourist bus underwent entry and exit inspections at the border checkpoints of the two countries. It was not until mid-afternoon that they arrived at the capital of Cunena Province, which is the border between Angola and Namibia.
.
Angou was very prosperous during the colonial era, with abundant food and exports. After independence, there was a civil war that lasted for nearly thirty years. Various infrastructures were damaged to varying degrees. The internal supply of food was insufficient, and the economy was in recession.
People suffering from civil strife are also eager for peace. Some provinces have been experiencing frequent riots in recent years, but overall the situation is stable, the economy is developing rapidly, and all industries are full of vitality.
Anguo is rich in natural resources and has a relatively mature tourism industry. It has many national parks and attractions, as well as animal reserves jointly built with several neighboring countries. It is also one of the most famous attractions.
Cunena Province, which is separated from the Nami River by the river, is a province with many red mud people in Anguo. Unfortunately, the tourism company in the capital of Cunena Province is not large in scale and does not have helicopter rental business. Therefore, classmate Le and handsome guy Yan first arrived in Cunena.
We will stop at the capital of Nena Province, then rent a small plane from Namibe, which is on the coast, and let the plane arrive at the capital of Bian Cunena Province tomorrow.
The capital of Cunei Province is roughly equivalent to the county town of Huaxia. It was already mid-afternoon when Young Master Yan and Little Loli arrived. They went out to wander around for a few times before evening. They quickly returned to the hotel. The public security in Nami was good, while the security in Anguo was still good.
What is more worrying is that the people of the Great Celestial Dynasty are frequently robbed of their residences in Anguo's engineering projects.
When traveling, safety comes first. The embassy has reminded him that Young Master Yan also puts safety first. The hotel's facilities are average. It is said to be a star hotel, which is equivalent to ordinary hotels in domestic towns. He is worried that something illegal might happen in the middle of the night.
I worked as a night watchman for the little Lolita for another night.
At around nine o'clock in the morning on the 14th, a helicopter dispatched from Namibe City in northwest Anguo arrived. The long-awaited students Yan and Le met with the helicopter on the outskirts of the city and took the flight to the northwest coastal desert where Welwitschia grows.
Most of Cunei Province is a plateau, and the terrain gradually becomes lower from east to west, so water also flows from the river to the west. The rivers in Anguo are contrary to the view of the Great Celestial Dynasty that "big rivers flow eastward." It is easiest for the Celestial Dynasty to
People suspect that domestic geography has been learned in vain.
Classmate Le has been to Russia and Serbia and collected a large number of plateau plants, so he doesn’t have much interest in exploring the plateau of Anguo. At least he is not planning to go deep into the plateau to collect plants during this trip.
The helicopter flew over the plateau and basin plain, stopped in a town to refuel and had lunch on the way, and continued flying in the afternoon. At the guest's request, the helicopter flew slower, and did not approach the northwest coastline until around four o'clock in the afternoon.
The Namib Desert.
In the plateau area more than 20 kilometers away from the edge of the large desert, Mr. Le and Mr. Yan made their first stop. The small plane went to a town on the desert plain to wait for contact.
The little Loli stopped halfway, and Young Master Yan was the happiest. He followed the little Loli happily with a heart full of joy. He acted as a porter and was responsible for the luggage of the two of them. The little Loli was only responsible for what he saw.
Just collect whatever you want.
In the evening, the two found a place to camp. They spent the next day digging for plants. On the third day, they broke camp and started walking, stopping and walking. It was not until the 18th that they drove into the desert plain and contacted a small plane to send them to the Welwitschia plant.
Set up camp in the desert wasteland where there is water.
It was the first time he entered the desert of Anguo. He didn’t know much about the living areas of the prey. Yan Xing didn’t catch any prey, so he ate the dry food he had brought with him at night. It was just getting dark. He couldn’t bear it anymore and urged Xiao Loli excitedly: “Xiao Luo
Li, it’s getting dark, let’s dig up Welwitschia trees quickly and work as fast as we can, maybe I can dig out two.”
"Pull them down. I'll give you two. It would be great if you can dig out one." Le Yun poured cold water on him directly. It was an indisputable fact that Yan Xiaolongbao was physically strong, but it was difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Without an excavator,
There were no tools for transporting sand, so he had to dig manually. The fact that he was able to dig out a complete Welwitschia was a blessing.
"Don't lie to others and look down on them. Don't say two. I can dig out three or four. Do you want to make a bet? If I can dig out three or more, you can make me two medicinal meals."
Yan Xing jumped to his feet and did not look down upon him like this. When he was digging orchid roots with the handsome foreigner, he couldn't be too aggressive because of the foreigner. Now he was just a bodyguard. There were no outsiders and no scruples. He could do it with great effort.
live.
"The three or four you are talking about are those welwitschia whose calyx is only as big as a bowl?" She could dig up hundreds of small plants like that in one night.
"Of course not, it's the kind as big as two bowls." Yan Xing touched his nose, and he was indeed looked down upon. He had to perform well for a while, show off his strength, and let the little loli look at him with admiration.
Le Yun has given up her expectations for handsome guy Yan. He is too unreliable, so she still doesn't want to be serious with him. Being serious is too tiring.
It was getting dark, and when it was time to get to work, she didn't hesitate. She took out two sharp-nosed hoes and a shovel and handles from her large backpack, put them together, took the backpack that was always with her, and set off.
The desert along the coast of Anguo is the starting point of the Namib Desert. There are large and small Welwitschia scattered everywhere in many places. Its density is higher than that of the narrow coastal desert belt of Namibia. In some valleys, desert plains, Welwitschia is the largest
Pieces into pieces.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The Namib Desert in Angolan is smaller than the desert in Namib, but there are more Welwitschia than in Namib. It is also the national flower of Angola.
The place where Classmate Le and Young Master Yan stayed was a semi-desert area with bare rocky mountains and desert grasslands. The tent was pitched at the foot of the rocky mountain, about a mile away from the Welwitschia.
Using flashlights, the two walked into the desert grassland basin where Welwitschia grows. The Welwitschia all over the ground formed groups, like giant octopuses lying on the sand to bask in the starlight.
The little Lolita moved among the Welwitschia group, walked up to a big tree, and said with a smile: "Yan Xiao Long Bao, I leave this one to you, hollow out this tree in the gravel, and you can choose any of the nearby ones."
Start with one tree."
Yan Xing, who was gearing up for a big fight, shined a flashlight on his work target, and the corners of his eyes twitched: "Little Lolita, how old is this tree?"
"Compared to the 2,000-year-old old man, this tree is not very old. It is probably a little more than a thousand years old, less than a thousand and one years old. Come on, young man, I am optimistic about you. You can dig out three of these trees tonight.
Yes, I will cook your favorite fried pork with loofah and braised pork trotters with coconut, and I will not deduct your share of the medicinal diet in any case."
Hearing this, Yan Xing clicked his tongue. He is almost 1,100 years old. He is still not old? He heard that he dug three trees to make medicinal food for him.
It was impossible to dig out three thousand-year-old orchid roots. His delicious food, the fat duck that reached his mouth, flew away.
She was bleeding from heartache and sighed: "Little Lolita, he is so old, let's respect our elders and stop digging, right? Let's dig out some trees that are five or six hundred years old. The younger trees have stronger vitality, so we dug out the roots.
The chance of survival is high.”
"Respecting the old and loving the young go hand in hand, okay? Why don't you respect the old and don't know how to love the young? A tree over a thousand years old can't live for hundreds of years, but a younger tree has a long life and can live for a thousand years."
For centuries, it is better to poach the old than to poach the young."
"However, if the tree dies and the official studies the cause of death and finds that some of the roots are missing, it will cause a big mess." If the Welwitschia that has been around for thousands of years dies, officials and botanists must study it. Once the roots are found,
Some parts were missing, which definitely caused an uproar.
"Don't doubt my medical skills. The Welwitschia I dug up last year and last time are all alive and well. If I remove part of the roots from this old tree and use my special medicine to heal the wound, they will be able to rejuvenate themselves and become young adults."
As time goes by, vitality becomes stronger, and I dig up the roots of old trees just to make them live longer."
"Is this really the case?" There is no doubt about Little Loli's medical skills, but people and trees are not the same species.
"Xiaolongbao, you only need to believe in one sentence - those who believe in music and music will have eternal life." Immortality is not possible, but longevity is a must.
Yan Xing: "..." What else did he say? His future girlfriend said that if he believed in her, he would have eternal life. He didn't believe in eternal life, so he had to believe in her.
So, without saying anything, he put on his headlamp, tied the Welwitschia leaves together, and started working with a hoe a few meters away from the tree.
After arranging Yan Shuaiyan's job, Le Xiaoxiao jumped out of the way, first ran in the south direction, and then ran towards the coastline for about two miles, and stopped in an arid desert with sparse Welwitschia trees.
A few old Welwitschia trees caught a little fox.
After being slipped out of the Cave Paradise, the little fox guessed that the little girl had made him a long-term laborer again, and said with a bitter look on his face: "Little girl, the strength that this fox has accumulated so hard cannot be used up like this. To dig a tree, more energy must be added."
A meal of soup.”
"Little fox, let's talk about it. For every three orchid trees you dig for me, I'll make you an extra cup of milk and sheep's stomach heart-warming soup. If you dig ten trees for me, I'll make you an extra pot of special soup.
The medicinal materials used in the soup are all rare medicinal materials. The soup is miraculous. Theoretically speaking, my little body cannot handle a spoonful."
After hearing the previous negotiation terms, the little fox originally wanted to reject it arrogantly and then bargain, trying to get some benefits for himself. But after hearing this, he was moved: "Aren't you going to trick the fox?"
"I'm tricking you, so you can refuse to help me in the future." There are many places where the little fox is needed, so she won't be stupid enough to trick him. She will only use medicinal soup to lure him into willing hard labor.
"Deal." The little fox was elated. The soup was delicious. The sheep stomach pot soup made by the little girl was delicious. I fought hard for the heart-warming soup!
After successfully reaching an agreement with the little fox, Le Yun smiled and put the little fox on the sand: "The trees nearby are all good, help me choose the big one to dig."
"Okay, just stay away." The little fox stepped on the sand, shook his head, puffed out his cheeks, and got ready, then he lay down on the ground and opened his mouth to suck the sand.
The little fox was an activist. Le Yun jumped away and stood watching for a few seconds. She was shocked by the way the little fox dug in the sand. She turned around silently and ran to a place more than 200 meters away to catch the little fox hiding in the sand.
Take a rattlesnake in the house, take its venom, and release it again.
Yan Foodie and the little fox were doing physical work, and she herself was too embarrassed to be idle. She found a thousand-year-old Welwitschia, took out the tools to dig, and had fun while digging out the sand and transporting it to space. She had a plug-in,
The little fox has a bottomless pit in his belly, but the Xiaolongbao can only shovel sand one spade after another. Poor Xiaolongbao.
Young Master Yan, who was thinking about her, worked hard. He didn't find the little Loli running away, so he didn't have time to care. Anyway, the little Loli asked him to participate in the action. The best result was to act alone without telling her. Others
Just turn a blind eye.
Young Master Yan was sweating profusely, and the little fox was eating the soil easily. The Welwitschia tree was very old, with roots as thick as the calyx and more than thirty meters deep. Even he spent nearly an hour digging to the root.
Hollowing out the base of an orchid, he spit out the sand and piled it aside. Then he went to a nearby Welwitschia tree to suck up the sand, dug out a deep, half-moon-shaped pit, and then continued to look for the next target.
The little fox is also very discerning. He specializes in picking the oldest trees as his targets. He hollows out the sand at the bottom of an orchid and piles a pile of sand next to it to make room for his stomach to load sand in the next place.
When he dug the fourth tree, he observed the density of Welwitschia plants nearby, dug out the entire orchid tree, and moved it not far from the hole dug in front of the Welwitschia tree. Then he filled the hole back up, erased the traces, and went there again.
Dig the fifth tree and the sixth tree.
The little fox dug seven thousand-year-old Welwitschia trees in succession. It was not too early to see that the time was not too early. The little girl was also getting orchid roots. He paused his work and went to a distance to suck a few mouthfuls of sand. Then he returned to the first tree he dug.
The girl has cut off most of the roots of the Welwitschia and is backfilling the big hole she dug.
It’s true that Mr. Le Xiao has a plug-in. Digging in the sand is also a physical job. I spent a lot of time digging until nearly twelve o’clock before I dug out the roots of a Welwitschia I dug and gave it to the orchid tree.
Apply the medicine and fill the hole to cover up the traces before going back to intercept the Welwitschia roots that the little fox dug into the hole.
She was only responsible for intercepting the Langan, and the little fox was responsible for filling the holes. He was also responsible for covering up the traces. He could cover the footprints with sand with a sweep of his big tail.
One person and one fox worked together happily. After working for more than two hours, we called it a day.
Seeing that it was already 2:30 in the morning, Classmate Le hurriedly sent the little fox back to space, gave him a bath and put him to sleep. She spread out her scud and flew back to find handsome guy Yan.
