Chapter 962 Picking Fruit

The four-wheel-drive off-road vehicle was swaying while walking on the bumpy road. Yan Xing was afraid that the car would hit the little Loli’s little head when it bumped, so he walked around the little Loli with his right hand. He put his hand on his back against the other side of the car wall to protect her. There were several times along the way where the bumps were so severe that the little loli bumped into the palm of his hand.

Because he successfully protected the little Loli from being hit, the little Loli didn’t care about his arm resting on her shoulder, which made him feel even better.

When he could see the towering baobab trees in the distance, Yan Xing only glanced at them twice, still protecting the little Loli wholeheartedly.

The Baobab Avenue is famous, attracting tourists from all over the world to come and watch it like a pilgrimage. Whether it is the rainy season or the dry season on the Falklands, tourists come to admire the baobab trees and take photos.

There is little rain in the western part of the Falklands. In the late dry season, the plants on both sides of the baobab avenue wither and become bare, exposing the red soil; during the rainy season, the green color spreads, and the baobab trees look like paving. Green carpet, only the road that is often trampled by cars, cattle, sheep and people is bare.

April is the beginning of the dry season on Falklands. The vegetation along the Baobab Avenue is still green. It has not rained. There is naturally no water on the road, so you can’t see the Baobab Avenue turning into a waterway. The picture doesn't look like the road is full of mud.

Several of the most representative baobab trees on the Baobab Avenue are supported by simple racks and sheds. The nearby indigenous people set up stalls selling baobab fruits and carvings, and there were also swimming ones selling water. people.

Tourists of both sexes were admiring the magical tree under the baobab tree. Their vehicles were parked not far away. The sun was very hot. The local aborigines selling goods and many tourists were hiding under the shade of the tree. .

When they saw a car driving towards Baobab Avenue, both tourists and locals setting up stalls were very indifferent, and the photographer took a photo by the way.

The road is dry and dust is thrown up when vehicles pass by.

Le Yun didn’t want to eat dirt, nor did she want others to eat dirt. She asked the driver to stop the car before reaching the first baobab tree on the Baobab Avenue, and got off the bus with Handsome Yan, carrying their luggage. , pay the fare.

One-way chartered car, the driver took the fare and drove forward with a smile on his face, going to places with many tourists to see if there was any business.

The car raised dust, blocking people's sight. When the dust dispersed, Le Yun put on her big backpack, carried her camera and took pictures while walking, observing and collecting data on bread trees.

Yan Xing only carries his own bag. His bag is not light. It contains 20 kilograms of rice, and a lot of food and water. The total weight is nearly 70 kilograms. He can see that little weight. It was quite light and there was no pressure on my back, so I was carrying my boss’s bag, a small backpack tied around my waist in front of me, and I was holding the camera hanging around my neck., a snapping shot of the little loli walking on the avenue.

The first section of the Baobab Avenue is not interesting. You have to walk for a while to a place where the trees are denser to get a sense of shock. The most beautiful place is not only rows of tall baobab trees, but also There is a lake next to a section of the road, and seasonal pools will appear along the road during the rainy season. In the dry season, they will dry up if there is no rainfall.

Most of the tourists are concentrated in the rows of baobab trees. Many people want to wait until dusk to take sunset shots. Most of the cars are parked under the trees on the roadside. Some tourists go to the other side of the lake, and some tourists go to the tall trees. of baobab for resting or playing.

Tourists usually travel in groups. Even if they drive by themselves, they are usually in a small group. People who have common hobbies in a small group can communicate under the baobab tree. People form groups, especially lively.

Seeing the two new tourists carrying bags, many tourists smiled kindly.

The baobab tree can bear fruit three times a year, which is enough to provide enough food and clothing for people. Therefore, in some places in Africa a long time ago, residents did not need to prepare anything when their children were born, but only planted a few bread trees. Tree, when the children grow up, the baobab tree will also bear fruit, and you won’t have to worry about running out of food in your life.

There are many fruits hanging on the branches of the baobab tree. The tree is too tall. When you look up, you can see very small fruits. Because there are no patches of virgin forest near the baobab avenue, so you can’t see them. The lemur that loves the breadfruit fruit the most.

Looking at the fruits on the tall trees, Le Yun said: "..." Yeah, there are so many fruits and the leaves are so tender. It is rare that there are flower buds between the branches and leaves of the two crowns. It's great. I want to climb a tree to pick flowers, fruits and leaves!

There are so many people who climb trees to pick fruits and leaves without any reason. They have to hide their little plans silently in their hearts, scan and observe each baobab tree, analyze their data, and compare their own space. Breadfruit trees in the house to see what nutrients they lack.

While observing, I also smiled with the friendly and smiling tourists. We took pictures of each other with each other as the background, or took pictures of local indigenous vendors.

After studying the tall and tall magical trees that grew toward the sky, Le Yun went to a stall that bought breadfruit and carvings to ask about the price. She first asked in French, but felt that the price was too high, so she changed it to the local price. National language bargaining.

The natives who set up stalls basically speak French, and some also understand English. When tourists use French, they also communicate in French. When girls with oriental faces negotiate prices with themselves, they use the common national language of the island. At this time, I was so surprised that I communicated with tourists in the local language.

The vendor and the girl were having a lively conversation. Many tourists came close to see how they were talking. When they saw the girl with an oriental face, she took several monkey-faced trees with bottle bellies. Diao, I was only given a few dozen dollars. I was very surprised. I invited the little girl over.Negotiate the price for yourself.

Two are tourists from country D and can only speak German; two are from country E, their English is average and they can only speak Russian; two are from the Arabian Peninsula and they can speak Arabic and simple English; Several of them are group tours, coming from the American continent and only speaking English.

Many tourists are interested in the carvings of baobab trees with various shapes, such as the "Lovers' Tree", "Twin Trees", "Bottle Belly Tree", etc. The merchants are asking for very high prices, which makes them hesitate again and again. None of them started.

Listening to the tourists who came to catch him as a translator, Le Yun was sweating. In line with the principle of "helping others", please ask Please be patient and come one by one, starting from the stall closest to you. Anyone who likes the photo will come immediately.

When they learned that the oriental girl was not only proficient in the local language, French, and English, but also proficient in German and Russian, several tourists were greatly surprised. They were as enthusiastic as meeting fellow countrymen and dragged the girl to help them translate. , bargaining.

Having the opportunity to practice oral expression and the newly learned language, Le Yun also enjoyed being a translator. She followed people to see the goods sold by the merchants and bargained in the local language. She haggled wildly, and every time The bargain prices were so high that the vendors stared and only smiled to show their helplessness.

The little loli always wins a lot of love wherever she goes. Yan Xing almost wants to flip the table. He finally accompanies the little loli on the trip, but in the end, the little loli becomes someone else’s translator and tour guide. It’s hard to live!

Seeing a few tourists happily dragging little Lolita shopping, he secretly lost countless eyes. Of course, he dared to secretly dislike and complain, and did not dare to scratch the little girl. Loli has the fun of bargain shopping and communicating with people from all walks of life.

Le Yun went with a few tourists to visit several vendors' stalls. She got her wish, completed the translation work, said goodbye to everyone, and moved on with handsome guy Yan to see other monkey breads. Tree.

The little Loli returned to her side by herself, and Yan Xing hurriedly ran with her to avoid being "cut off" again. They walked and took pictures while walking through a section of monkey-faced tree avenue near the lake. , went to see the twin baobab trees, and then went to see the world-famous "couple" baobab tree that represents love.

After admiring some of the most famous baobab trees, the two of them turned away from the avenue and walked towards a plain full of green plants. They passed through a green space with bushes and came to the foot of a tall baobab tree far away from the avenue. Stay there, where they will camp for the night.

There are grassland locusts in the rainy season. They are very hateful creatures. Le Yun doesn’t like them. She first checks the surroundings, takes out a bottle of medicine and sprinkles some powder to repel insects, and then takes out a tarp. On the ground, put the backpack.

Putting down her luggage, she jumped into the bushes to look for dead branches and grass stalks. After getting a small handful, she got out of the bush, put it in a place where the sun shined, and then dug in again. into the treesGo find firewood and secretly dig up plants.

General tourists are afraid of locusts and will not run into places full of vegetation to play. They are far away from the main road and are basically safer. Yan Xing also crawls into short trees to look for dead branches that can be used as firewood. leaf.

The two of them got into the tree and searched here and there for an hour. They found a bunch of dead branches and straw stalks, and put them in a ventilated place to dry first, while the little Lolita looked for something edible. Yan handsome guy dug up a piece of vegetation to make a place for burning wild vegetables, and then pitched the tent when the sun went down.

Leyun ran to dig up plants and made some space. After digging a handful, she took them to a place with accumulated water and washed them. Then she returned to the camping place and packed them in bags for cooking. Rinse with clean water before eating.

Many tourists who visit the Baobab Avenue return to the city after visiting for a while. Only those who insist on taking pictures of the sunset and the baobab trees insist on not leaving. At dusk, residents return to the village and pass by the avenue. , there are also vendors closing their stalls, there are cows, sheep, cows and horses, and local people carrying things on their shoulders, forming a beautiful scenery.

When the sun was not shining enough to dry firewood, Yan Xing wrapped the dead branches that were used as fire hazards in tarpaulins and ran with the little Lolita to admire the pictures of residents returning home at night and take photos.

When the sun goes below the sea level, the crown of the tall monkey tree turns gray from a distance. The light of the entire avenue is very dark, and the tourists who stay at the end are reluctant to leave. As we left, the lights of the car went further and further away.

After the last car was gone, Leyun slipped under a huge bread tree on the avenue, wandered around and studied it, took off her shoes, and climbed up with the tree in her arms.

"Little Lolita, you don't want to climb up to pick breadfruit, do you?" Yan Xing almost jumped up. Three little Lolita couldn't hug the tree even though she dared to climb. ?

"There are flowers on this tree. I'm going to pick them and study them." Le Yun clung to the tree stem and climbed up like a frog.

"You tell me where it is, and I will pick it for you. Come down quickly." Yan Xingsheng was afraid that the little loli would drop it by mistake, and his heart was raised.

"If you can't find it, don't make any noise, don't turn on the lights. If you leak your whereabouts and someone finds out and delays my business, I won't be done with you." Le Yun doesn't care about handsome guy Yan. Calling, moving upwards.
