Chapter 962 Fruit Picking The
four-wheel drive off-road vehicle was swaying while walking on the bumpy road. Yan Xing was afraid that the car would bump into the little Loli's little head when the car bumped, so he put his right hand around the little Loli's back and pressed his hand against the other person's back. The car wall on one side protected her, and there were several times along the way that the car bumped too hard, and 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 tree in the distance, Yan Xing only glanced at it twice, still protecting the little Loli wholeheartedly.
The Baobab Avenue is famous and attracts tourists from all over the world to come and watch it. 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 there is a green carpet under the baobab trees. The road is bare and trampled by cattle, sheep and people.
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 accumulation on the road. Therefore, there is no picture of the Baobab Avenue turning into a waterway, and the road is not muddy. look like.
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 water sellers.
Tourists of both sexes admired the magical tree under the baobab tree. Their vehicles were parked not far away. The sun was very hot. The local indigenous people 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 was dry and dust was kicked up by vehicles passing by.
Le Yun didn't want to eat dirt, and she didn't want others to eat dirt. She asked the driver to stop the car before the first baobab tree on Baobab Avenue, and she and handsome guy Yan got off the bus with their luggage and paid 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 kicked up dust, blocking people's sight. When the dust dispersed, Le Yun put on her big backpack and carried her camera while walking, taking pictures, and observing and collecting data on the bread trees.
Yan Xing only carried his own bag. His bag was not light. It contained twenty kilograms of rice, as well as a lot of food and water. The total weight was nearly seventy kilograms. In his opinion, the weight was quite light. There was no pressure, so I was carrying my boss's bag, a small backpack tied around my waist in front of me, and holding the camera hanging around my neck, snapping shots of the little loli walking on the road.
The first section of the Baobab Avenue is not much to see. You have to walk for a while to a place with dense trees to get a sense of shock. The most beautiful place is not only rows of tall baobab trees, but also a lake next to the road. During the rainy season, Seasonal puddles also appear on the roadside, and they will dry up in the dry season if there is no replenishing rainfall.
Most of the tourists are concentrated in the rows of baobab trees. Many people 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 rest or play under the tall baobab trees.
Tourists usually travel in groups, even if they are self-driving, it is usually a small group. If a small group has a common hobby, they will communicate under the baobab tree. People form groups, which is very lively.
Many tourists smiled kindly when they saw the two new tourists carrying bags.
The baobab tree can bear fruit three times a year, which is enough to provide people with food and clothing. Therefore, in some places in Africa a long time ago, residents did not need to prepare anything when their children were born. They only needed to plant a few baobab trees and wait for the children to grow up. The bread tree also bears fruit, so you don’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 so tall that if you look up, you will see very small fruits. This is because there are no patches of primeval forest near the baobab tree avenue, and there are no lemurs who love the baobab fruits. .
Seeing 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 two tree crowns. I really want to climb the tree to pick flowers, fruits and leaves. !
There are so many people who climb trees to pick fruits and leaves without paying any attention to reality. They have to hide their little plans silently in their hearts, scan and observe each baobab tree, analyze their data, compare it with the baobab trees in their own space, and take a look at them. What nutrients are missing?
While observing, I also smiled with the friendly and smiling tourists. Everyone took photos with each other as the background, or took photos of the local indigenous vendors.
After studying the tall and tall magical tree growing toward the sky for a while, Leyun went to a stall selling breadfruit and carvings to ask about the price. She first asked in French, but felt that the price was too high, so she changed to bargaining in the local ethnic language.
The locals who set up the stalls basically spoke French, and some also knew English. When tourists spoke in French, they also used French to communicate. When a girl with an oriental face negotiated the price with her in the island's common national language, she was extremely surprised. Communicate with tourists in local language.
The vendor and the girl were having a lively conversation, and many tourists came close to see how they were talking. When they saw the girl with an oriental face, she took several monkey-faced tree carvings with bottle bellies and gave them only a few dozen dollars. I was very surprised about the knife. I asked the little girl to help me negotiate the price.
Two are tourists from country D and can only speak German; two are from country E, have average English and can only speak Russian; two are from the Arabian Peninsula and can speak Arabic and simple English; several are on group tours and come from American continent, only English.
Many tourists were interested in the carvings of baobab trees with various shapes, such as the "Lovers' Tree", "Twin Trees", "Bottle Belly Tree" and so on. The merchants were asking for high prices, which made them hesitate to buy.
Listening to the tourists who came to catch her as a translator, Le Yun was sweating loudly as she talked about which wood carvings she wanted from which stall. In line with the principle of "helping others", please be patient and calm, one by one. Come, start from the stall nearest to you, and anyone who likes the photo will come.
When they learned that the oriental girl was not only proficient in the local language, French and English, but also German and Russian, several tourists were greatly surprised. They were as enthusiastic as meeting fellow countrymen and dragged the girl to help them translate and negotiate prices.
Given the opportunity to practice oral expression and the newly learned language, Le Yun was also happy to be a translator. She followed people to see the goods sold by merchants and bargained in local languages. Just smile to express 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 so embarrassing!
Seeing a few tourists happily dragging the little loli to shop, he secretly lost a lot of money. Of course, he dared to secretly dislike and complain, and did not dare to bother the little loli for bargaining and bargaining with people from all walks of life. The joy of communication among professional people.
Le Yun followed several tourists to visit several vendors' stalls, and everyone got what they wanted. She completed the translation work, said goodbye to everyone, and moved on with Handsome Yan to see other baobab trees.
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 photos while walking through a section of the baobab avenue facing the lake to see the twin baobab trees. We went to see the world-famous "couple" baobab tree that represents love.
After admiring the most famous baobab trees, the two of them turned away from the avenue and headed towards a plain full of green plants. They passed through a green space with trees and stopped under a tall baobab tree far away from the avenue, where they would spend the night. A place to camp.
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. Then she takes out a tarp to pad the ground and puts it in her backpack.
After putting down her luggage, she jumped into the bushes to find dead branches and grass stalks. After getting a small handful, she got out of the bushes and put them in the sun where the sun shined. Then she went into the bushes to find firewood. Dig plants secretly.
Most tourists are afraid of locusts and would 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 find dead branches and leaves that can be used as firewood.
The two of them got into the tree and searched around for an hour. They found a bunch of dead branches and straw stalks and put them in a ventilated place to dry first. The little Lolita looked for edible wild vegetables, and handsome guy Yan dug up a piece of vegetation. , make a place for a fire, and wait until the sun sets before pitching the tent.
Le Yun ran to dig up plants and made some space. After digging a handful, she took it to the area where there was stagnant water and washed it. Then she returned to the camping area and packed it in bags. She would use clean water when cooking. Clean.
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, and vendors also close their stalls. There are cows, sheep, cows and horses, and local people carrying things on their backs, forming a beautiful scenery.
When the sun was not shining enough to dry firewood, Yan Xing wrapped the dead branches used as fire starters 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 crowns of the tall monkey trees turn gray from a distance, and the light on the entire avenue is very dark. The last tourists left reluctantly, and the lights of the cars fade away. the further away.
After the last car was gone, Le Yun sneaked to a huge bread tree on the avenue and wandered around to study it. She took off her shoes and climbed up the tree holding the tree.
"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. How dare she climb?
"There are flowers on this tree. I'm going to pick them and study them." Le Yun clung to the tree trunk and climbed up like a frog.
"You tell me where it is, and I'll 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 or turn on the lights. If you reveal your whereabouts and someone finds out and delays my business, I won't be done with you." Le Yun didn't care about handsome guy Yan's calls and moved up. .
