Young Master Yan was in trouble. Even though he worked hard and dug the hole with determination, the roots of the orchid penetrated too deep into the ground. According to visual inspection, the depth was more than 27 meters. He was busy from just dark to nearly two o'clock in the morning.
I had just finished my work and was very tired, so I just stayed in the pit to recover my strength.
Student Le Xiao rushed to the huge pit dug by Yan Shuai and looked down. OMG, the pit is deeper than the well. It looks like a mine. Looking at Yan Shuai’s flashlight from top to bottom, the brightness is like looking up.
The feeling of seeing the moon in the sky.
The pit is a T-shaped pit, and there are several large steps leading into the pit.
She jumped down the first concave step, then jumped down again, and jumped six steps in a row before reaching the bottom of the pit. She reached out and pressed the head of the handsome boy who was begging for praise with a sad face: "Good boy, you are good, you can be called a little expert at digging pits."
"
After waiting until the little Loli finally remembered him, Yan Xing sat there miserably, looking at the little Loli with pitiful eyes and silently complaining about her grievance for leaving him alone for several hours. He was very happy to be touched on the head, but
, what the hell is a good boy?
The handsome young man who was so troubled that his face was as bitter as a bitter melon squeaked in a dull voice: "My medicinal diet is gone, and I am not happy."
A grown man giving back a baby? Le Yun felt disgusted and made a promise: "Although there is no extra reward, in view of your contribution, I will make you a coconut stewed pig's trotters to supplement your nutrition."
"Really?" I heard that there was a reward, and the handsome young man's eyes were like stars in the sky, twinkling with bright and soft light.
"Well, please move, I'm going to start working." Le Yun rubbed her hands, grasped the handle of the knife and swung the knife to chop the orchid roots.
Yan Xingchi jumped to the side and stood close to the wall of the bunker. He watched the little loli chop a few times, and then he went on to do the work. After a while, the knife fell with his hand, and a section of the orchid root was cut off.
Le Yun hugged Langen and carried it out of the pit. She put it aside first, then jumped into the pit. She waited for Yan Shuaiyan to cut off a section of Langen and then carried it out of the pit. She cut off four sections of root in a row, and then applied medicine to the section of Langen.
Climb out of the pit and fill it back with sand.
After backfilling the excavated sand and moving some sand from other places to cover the hole, Little Loli asked Handsome Yan to return to the camp first while she did the aftermath work. Young Master Yan did not hesitate and went ahead with a flashlight.
, he first returned to the place where he set up his tent and ran to the river to take a bath.
Classmate Le Xiao, who was lagging behind, waited for Handsome Yan to go away, moved the 100-year-old orchid roots back to the space, picked up all the fine orchid roots on the sandy ground, leaving no suspicious traces, and then erased the nearby footprints.
, go and wander around some other Welwitschia trees for a few times, and then leave with confidence.
When she returned to the camp, Handsome Yan took a bath and sat in the tent wiping her hair. She took clean clothes and slipped to the river to take a bath. She felt refreshed. She did not sleep when she returned to the tent, but took out a thick notebook to write an observation diary.
Little Loli's hair was not dry yet, but she didn't care. Yan Xing couldn't stand it, so he covered her head with her face towel: "Little Loli, your hair is not dry yet. It's easy to catch a cold because the temperature is so low. I'll help you wipe it."
wipe."
Angola is very hot, but it is a plateau area with a big temperature difference between morning and night. Even in summer, the heat at noon is unbearable, so you have to cover yourself with a thin quilt at night, otherwise you will wake up from the cold in the middle of the night. The temperature difference between day and night is even greater in the desert, sometimes at night
The temperature is close to freezing.
Her head was covered with a towel, which almost blocked her eyes from the notebook. Le Yun turned her neck away and said, "Don't make any noise. I'm busy with business."
"You're busy, I'll help you wipe your hair." The little Loli didn't get angry and threw the towel and cursed. Yan Xing succeeded in his evil plan. He gently held the towel around the little Loli's head and wiped her hair gently to avoid pulling her hair.
Hair, very light and careful.
The little Loli didn't refuse. He acted as a temporary barber apprentice and helped the little Loli wipe her hair seriously and rubbed the hair on her little head. He was full of joy. The little Loli's head was also very cute and well-behaved.
The quiet little loli is cuter.
Carefully, he helped the little Loli wipe her hair until it was semi-dry. The towel was also wet. There was no other dry towel. Yan Xing reluctantly finished the work and quietly came closer to see what the little Loli was writing. She was recording the desert day and night.
Temperature changes, and plant responses.
She wrote in such detail that he almost wanted to rub her head and praise her, saying, "She is such a good student who studies hard." Of course, he had the guts to do it, but the little loli touched his head and said he was a good boy.
Her mind said that her good child might have to eat fried chicken feet and meat.
Le Yun was too busy to take notes. She was really busy taking notes. Anguo and Naguo were only separated by a river. There were slight differences in temperature and air content in the desert, as well as slight differences in soil. As for whether it was because they were close to the border river between the two countries.
The reason why it is too recent is not yet clear.
After she finished writing down her observations during the day and night the day before, when the sky was slightly brighter, she wrapped up her notebook, packed her luggage, and ate dry food. When the weather became brighter, she broke camp and headed for the front.
In the thin morning light, the plants and animals in the desert plain are not yet ready to welcome the sun. Many nocturnal animals are quietly dormant, and the vast desert is very quiet.
The handsome young man and the short-haired girl walked forward in the morning light, making slight noises as they stepped on the sand, sometimes frightening the insects hiding in the grass, sometimes frightening a small lizard to the point where it burrowed into the sand desperately.
The little girl was so naughty that she even frightened it by digging out sand, causing the little animals to run away.
The handsome young man expressed that he was... helpless. He understood that the little loli was digging for plants all the way. She came to Anguo to dig for plants, but why did she always like to tease small animals and insects?
Girls don’t hate bugs the most. On the contrary, little lolita enjoys catching bugs and lizards. In fact, catching lizards is also acceptable. What kind of magic is catching rattlesnakes like catching earthworms?
Yan Xing was frightened by the way little Loli grabbed the Desert Horned Viper, and he often had crowds of horses running wildly in his mind. He felt that when he went back, he would have to find someone to fill him with a few bowls of chicken soup for the soul, otherwise his heart might be damaged.
overwhelmed.
The sky is getting brighter and brighter, and the temperature is rising little by little.
Classmate Le moved forward as if playing. It took her and Young Master Yan half a day to bypass several rock mountains and reach another desert valley. The edge of the basin full of sand and gravel was a semi-desert grassland, and the valley was full of crawlers.
Welwitschia that resembles an octopus.
Large and small Welwitschia lie irregularly on the sand. The whole place is like a botanical garden. There are car marks in some places, which are the proof of "visit here" left by the sightseeing vehicles.
Finding the valley with the largest number of Welwitschia, Le Yun’s eyes were brighter than the morning star. Wow, there are so many octopuses that it would take ten days and ten nights to dig them all!
Her heart was racing because of the excitement, red clouds appeared on her fair face, her whole body seemed to be flying, and there was wind under her feet when she walked.
"Little Lolita, there are so many Welwitschia!" It doesn't look so shocking from a distance, but when you look closer, you can feel the number of Welwitwitschia. It took many years for it to develop into such a big family.
Yan Xing finally understood why the little Loli came here. The number of Welwitschia in Anguo was considerable, more than that in Nanoland. With such vast tracts of plants, even if ten or eight of them were dug up, they would not be affected.
The propagation of its family.
He didn't dare to dig up more trees for storage, because there was a tourist bus on the other side of the valley, and several people were taking pictures in the Welwitschia field. Even if they were far away, they were afraid that the wind would leak the secret.
Classmate Le was filled with joy and did not care about the meaningless words of the handsome boy from Yan University. He carried the camera and took pictures wildly. While taking pictures, he walked towards the edge of the inland direction.
Young Master Yan also pretended to take a camera to take pictures. The two of them did not meet the tourists on the sightseeing bus. They walked through the edge area and then walked inland. They walked for several miles on the desert plains and grasslands before reaching a river with water in the dry valley.
part.
Anguo has a heavy rainy season and a light rainy season. November is the light rainy season. There is no shortage of rain, but the rainfall decreases from the east to the southern desert. It rains in other places, but it still rarely rains in the desert. Therefore, in the rainy season
There is water in the wadi during the light rainy season.
After finding the water source, they stayed in a nearby sheltered place until the hottest part of the day passed. The two of them went separate ways. There was no prey nearby. Young Master Yan had no place to play, so he only found some hay and dry branches washed down from the upper stream.
They use firewood for cooking at night, and spend the rest of the time at the camp to recharge their batteries for a big fight at night.
Classmate Le stretched out his hands to plants in all directions. When the sun went down, he dug up two large bundles of plants. He called it a day and cooked rice with Handsome Yan. After eating, he went to the basin where the Welwitschia grows before it gets dark.
march.
The small team of two people marched quickly to the Welwitschia Valley. It was not completely dark yet, the surroundings were gray and deserted, and the temperature was relatively low, so they had to wear autumn clothes.
Classmate Le took the free handyman to wander among the Welwitschia group, and went to the edge area to designate one for him to dig. Welwitschia is a rare species, and tourists come to the desert to watch it every year. Many Welwitschia are iconic coordinates
, is absolutely untouchable, and can only be targeted at targets in inconspicuous locations.
The little lolita gave up her work. Yan Xing put down his backpack and took out his tools to start work. He dug a Welwitschia until around two o'clock yesterday. Today, even if it is possible, he can only dig one at most, and he has to dig it in the morning.
work.
Assigning a Welwitschia to trip Handsome Yan's feet, Xiao Le's classmate wandered in the other direction, observing as he walked, and caught the little fox a mile and a half away from Handsome Yan, and sent him to work.
Then choose the target by yourself, choose a Welwitschia and put an apple or a fried August. The little fox will find the place when he smells the apple fragrance.
After selecting several Welwitschia trees, I also started digging at a medium-sized orchid tree at the very edge, digging slowly. Since Little Fox was a good digger, she didn't have to work too hard and just stayed idle.
The little fox who unknowingly sold himself to a little girl as a coolie, based on the great principle of perfection in everything, worked hard to fight against pitfalls, emptied most of the sand under a Welwitschia tree, and spit out part of the sand.
Then go find the second tree designated by the little girl.
When I found a place, I saw a big red apple. I had no choice but to weigh my beard and started working hard. I spent a lot of effort to clear the area around the Welwitschia, uprooted a large orchid tree, put it aside, and filled the void with sand.
The little girl likes to play with her whims. Putting an apple as a mark means digging up the whole tree. The apple is round, which means peace and safety, and "completeness". The whole Welwitschia tree is perfection.
There is a waist-shaped fruit on the third tree, which means digging a semicircle, that is, only taking out the orchid roots.
For his own appetite, the little fox was very active and dug up one tree after another. After digging out the soil under the ninth Welwitschia, he finally stopped working and dug out a total of four complete ones.
He went back to fill the hole. The little girl was already cutting the roots of the second orchid tree. He filled the deep hole of the first orchid tree and waited outside the second hole. After the little girl climbed out of the hole, he filled the hole with sand again.
Soil, erase some traces.
One person and one fox collected all the excavated centenarian orchid roots, filled the pit, and crawled back into the space. Le Xiaoxiao helped the little fox bathe and nibbled snacks and gold for him. Then she returned to nature and ran to check Handsome Yan's body.
What was the result?
Young Master Yan really wanted to perform well, but the work was too arduous. No matter how hard he tried, he could not achieve the desired results. He worked until half past one and finished the work. He felt depressed and did not want to go out and embarrass himself. He wanted to bury himself in a pit.
.
He squatted in the pit and licked his wounds sadly. He waited for more than an hour to see the little Lolita. Looking at the light from the ground, he was resurrected with full health. If the little Lolita abandoned him, he would
He stayed in the pit until someone discovered him during the day and let the Anguo people cover him up alive.
The little Loli still remembered him. He didn't want to be buried in the pit. When the little Loli jumped into the pit, he quickly stood up and said with a handsome face: "Little Loli, plus this one, I will dig it out."
We’ve reached two trees. If we dig another one tomorrow night, we’ll have three trees.”
"We won't dig anymore tomorrow night. We'll evacuate in the morning." Le Yun ignored the big face that came to her and looked at the roots of Welwitschia. Its roots are more than twenty-four meters deep into the ground. They are flat and have become old.
It could only live another hundred years, so she cut off half of its roots and improved its physique. It would not be a problem to live another eight hundred years.
"Ah, why are you leaving so quickly? There are so many here. If you dig ten or twenty trees, others won't be able to find them." There are so many Welwitschia trees, why don't you dig up a few more?
"If there are no accidents, there should be rain at midnight tomorrow night. If the medicine applied to the wound of the Welwitschia I cut has seeped water, the efficacy of the medicine will be compromised. If the root of the tree is infected, the Welwitschia may die."
Le Yun explained while picking the position of the knife: "Besides, I also dug two trees myself, plus the two trees you dug. If there is no particularly serious and rare disease that must be cured with Welwitschia, I will save it."
The amount is enough so that we won’t have to dig up any more welwitschia roots within five years.”
"That's it." Yan Xing's mood suddenly dropped. The little loli was leaving, which also meant that the trip was over. He and her would soon part ways, and it would take a long time for him to see her again. In fact, he
He really doesn't want to be separated, he wants to stay with her every day.
He didn't say anything anymore and helped the little Lolita cut orchid roots, carry them, fill holes, and prepare the site. He carried his luggage and left first. Le Xiao's classmate lagged behind. He collected the centenarian orchid roots and dealt with the traces before catching up with him.
Stay away from the crime scene.
After dawn, the two took a helicopter to pick up people in the desert and went for a walk in Angola's desert park before returning to Namibe, a coastal city with an international airport. As the little loli predicted, in the second half of the night, a heavy rain hit the southern part of Angola.
There are showers from east to west. Although the rainfall becomes smaller in the desert areas, the arid desert plants also enjoy the moisture of the rain.
