Chapter 1112: A little expert in digging holes
Young Master Yan is very hard-working. Even if he digs holes with all his strength, the orchid roots are too deep into the ground, and the depth is as deep as 27 by visual inspection. There was a lot of rice, and I was busy from just after dark until nearly two o'clock in the morning before finishing the work. I was also very tired, so I just stayed in the huge pit to recover my strength.
Mr. Le Xiao rushed to the huge pit dug by Handsome Yan and looked down. Oh my god, the pit is deeper than the well. It looks like a mine. Looking at Yan from top to bottom The brightness of Handsome Guy's flashlight is like looking up at the sky and seeing the moon.
The pit is a T-shaped pit, and there are several large steps leading into the well.
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, not bad. , he can be called a little expert at digging holes."
When the little Loli finally remembered him, Yan Xing sat there miserably, looking at the little Loli with pitiful eyes and silently accusing her of throwing him away. It’s nice to be touched on the head after feeling aggrieved for several hours, but what the hell is a good boy?
The handsome young man who was so troubled that his face was more bitter than bitter melon squeaked in a dull voice: "My medicinal diet is gone, and my baby is not happy."
A grown man giving back a baby? Le Yun was 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?" Hearing that there was a reward, the handsome young man's eyes were like stars in the sky, twinkling with bright and soft light.
"Well, please move a little, I'm going to start working." Le Yun rubbed her hands, held the handle of the knife and swung the knife to chop the orchid roots.
Yan Xingchi jumped to the side and stood against the wall of the bunker, watching the little loli chop a few times, then he went on to do the work for him. After a while, the knife fell with his hand, and a section of the orchid root was cut off.
Le Yun hugged the langen and carried it out of the pit. She put it aside first, then jumped into the pit. She waited for Yan Yan to cut off a section of langen and then carried it out of the pit. She cut four sections in a row, and then Apply medicine to the section of the orchid root, climb out of the pit, and fill 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 also Without hesitation, he went ahead with a flashlight. He returned to the 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, and picked up all the fine bits of orchid roots on the sandy ground without leaving any suspicious traces. , then erased the nearby footprints, wandered around some other Welwitschia trees a few times, and then evacuated with confidence.
She returned to the camp. Handsome Yan took a shower and sat in the tent to dry his hair. She took clean clothes and slipped to the river to take a shower. She felt brand new and returned to the tent.I didn't sleep either, so I took out a thick notebook and wrote 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, the temperature is so low. If you catch a cold easily, let me wipe it for you.”
Angola is very hot, but it is a plateau area, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is huge. Even in summer, the heat at noon is unbearable, and you need to cover yourself lightly at night Otherwise, the cold will wake you up in the middle of the night. The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is even greater, and sometimes the temperature is close to zero at night.
With her head covered by a towel and her eyes almost blinded from her notebook, Le Yun turned her neck away: "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 trick. He gently held the towel around the little Loli's head and wiped her hair gently to avoid pulling her. The hair is very light and careful.
Little Loli didn’t refuse. He temporarily acted as a handyman’s barber apprentice. He carefully helped little Loli wipe her hair and rubbed the hair on her little head. He was full of joy. Li's head is also very cute, and the well-behaved and quiet little loli is even cuter.
Carefully 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's documenting the temperature changes in the desert during the day and night, and how the plants respond.
She wrote in great detail, and 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, so the little Loli patted his head and praised her. It's fine if she's a good child, but if he touches her head and says she's a good child, she might get a meal of 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, and there were also slight differences in the soil. It is not clear whether it is because it is too close to the border river between the two countries.
After she finished writing 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 a slight noise when stepping on the sand, sometimes frightening the insects hiding in the grass, and sometimes frightening the small lizards to death. It burrowed into the sand desperately, but a certain little girl was so naughty that she even went to fetch sand to scare it, making the little animals run away.
The handsome young man expressed that he was... helpless. The little loli was digging for plants all the way. He expressed his understanding. She came to Anguo just to dig.Plants, but why does she always like to tease small animals and insects?
Girls don’t hate bugs the most. On the contrary, little loli has a lot of fun catching bugs and lizards. In fact, catching lizards is also acceptable. Catching rattlesnakes is like catching earthworms. What kind of divine operation is it?
Yan Xing was frightened when little Loli grabbed the desert horned viper on the wrist. He often had groups of grass mud horses running wildly in his mind. He felt that when he returned, he would have to find someone to fill him with a few bowls of chicken soup for the soul. , otherwise his heart may be 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 Semi-desert grassland, the valley is covered with octopus-like Welwitschia.
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 proof of "visit here" left by the sightseeing vehicles. .
Finding the valley with the largest number of Welwitschia, Leyun’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 she was so excited. 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, so many Welwitschia!” It’s not so shocking from a distance, but when you look closer, you can’t help but wonder how many years it took for the number of Welwitschia to grow to such a large size. Family.
Yan Xing finally understood why the little Loli came here. The number of Welwitschia in Anguo was considerable, more than that in Nanoland. Such tracts of plants were just poached. Eight out of ten trees are not afraid of affecting the reproduction of its family.
He didn’t dare to say how many more trees to dig 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.
Mr. Yan also pretended to take a camera to take pictures. The two of them did not meet the tourists on the sightseeing bus. They crossed the edge and walked inland, walking several miles on the desert plains and grasslands. Go to a wadi with water.
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. If it rains in other places, the desert remains. It rarely rains, so there is water in the wadi when it rains in the rainy season and light rainy season
Find the water source and stay in a shaded place nearby until the hottest time at noon has passed. The two of themThey split up and there was no prey nearby. Young Master Yan had no place to fight. He only found some hay and dry branches washed down from the upper stream to use as firewood for cooking at night. The rest of the time he spent the rest of the time in the camp recharging his energy for the night. Have a fight.
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, and then ate the food before it got dark. That is to say, march towards the basin where Welwitschia grows.
The small team of two people marched quickly to the Vitrillas 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 groups. When he went to the edge area, he designated one for him to dig. Welwitschia is a rare species. Every year, tourists come to the desert to watch it. Many of them Welwitschia is an iconic coordinate and must not be touched. You can only target 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. If you dig more than one tree, you have to work early in the morning.
Assigned a Welwitschia to trap handsome boy Yan’s feet. Le Xiaoxiao walked in the other direction, observing as he walked. When he was a mile and a half away from handsome boy Yan, he pulled the little fox Catch it, send it to work, and then choose the target yourself. Select a Welwitschia and put an apple or an August to fry. The little fox will find the place when it smells the apple fragrance.
After selecting several Welwitschia trees, she also started digging at a medium-sized orchid tree at the very edge, digging slowly. Anyway, there was little fox who was a good digger, so she didn’t have to work too hard. Just be 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 be a good anti-fraud worker, and sold the little fox under a Welwitschia tree Clear out most of the sand, spit out some of the sand, and then look for the second tree designated by the little girl.
I found a place and saw a big red apple. I helplessly weighed my beard and started working hard. I spent all my efforts to clear the surroundings of the Welwitschia tree, uprooted a large orchid tree and placed it on the ground. On one side, spit out sand to fill in the blanks.
The little girl loves 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 "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 four complete ones.
He turned back to fill in the hole. The little girl was already cutting the roots of the second orchid tree. He filled in the deep hole of the first orchid tree and waited outside the second hole. climbAfter leaving the pit, he backfilled with sand to erase some traces.
One person and one fox collected all the dug-up orchid roots, filled the pit, and crawled back into the space. Le Xiaoxiao helped the little fox bathe and gave him snacks and gold before she returned Naturally, I ran to check the results of Handsome Yan.
Mr. 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 was in a depressed mood and did not want to go out and embarrass himself. I really want to bury myself in a pit.
He squatted in a deep 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 Abandon him and don't want him anymore, he will stay in the pit until someone discovers him during the day and let the Anguo people cover him up alive.
The little Loli still remembers him. He didn’t want to be buried in the pit. When the little Loli jumped into the pit, she quickly stood up and said with her handsome face: "Little Loli, Including this one, I have dug two trees. If I dig another one tomorrow night, I will have three trees."
"We won't dig out tomorrow night, we will evacuate in the morning." Le Yun ignored Minato. The big face came and looked at the roots of Welwitschia. Its roots were more than twenty-four meters deep into the ground. They were flat and old. They could only live for a hundred years at most. She helped it cut off half of its roots to improve it. With his physique, there is no problem in living for 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, so dig a few more if you don't hurry up. ?
“If there are no accidents, it should rain in the middle of the night 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. In case of tree root infection, it may cause hundreds of thousands of wounds. Sui Orchid died."
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 are none, they must be used. For particularly serious and rare diseases that can only be cured by Welwitschia, I have enough stock so that I won’t have to dig out Welwitschia roots for five years.”
“That’s it.” Yan Xing suddenly felt depressed. Going down, the little loli is about to leave, which also means that the trip is over. He and her will soon part ways. It will take a long time for him to see her again. In fact, he really doesn't want to separate. He wants to stay with her every day. together.
He said nothing and helped the little Lolita cut orchid roots, carry them, fill holes, and take care of the site. He put his luggage on his back and left first. Le Xiao’s classmate lagged behind, collecting the hundred-year-old orchid roots and processing them again. I caught up with him only after I found a good trace, and together we stayed away from the scene of the crime.
After dawn, the two took a helicopter to pick up people in the desert and went to Angola's desert park for a walk before returning to Namibe, a coastal city with an international airport. As the little Loli predicted, in the second half of the night , there was a heavy rain in the southern part of Angola, from east to west. Although the rainfall became smaller in the desert area, the dry desert plants also enjoyed themoistened by rain.
