"This is a roasted steamed bun and a fried one. Lao Niu enthusiastically took pieces of yellowed steamed buns and distributed them everywhere. Dried steamed bread is also steamed bread cut into slices, the whole golden is fried, some of it is golden and some parts are slightly blackened, which is baked.

This is the dry food that Boss Niu asked the villagers to help prepare, of course, not only these, but also the dry cakes made by the villagers overnight, and the simple packaged cakes in the village commissary, basically the kind that will drop a slag when you bite into it. There are also instant noodles and eight-treasure porridge and the like, which is even better.

There were too many people to prepare anything else, so the people in the village carried a few large kettles, which were boiled in the early morning. There are several pots of dandelion root soaked in them, or willow leaf tea freshly harvested in the spring.

The best treatment is to use the hot water in a few kettles to make instant noodles - not even in barrels, the villagers have prepared large enamel bowls, in which instant noodles are quite suitable, and a bowl can make several packs.

There are probably only these things in the township, and there are no conditions for other things, and everyone can't think of them.

A group of foreign scholars are very easy to deal with, and they can eat with relish, holding steamed buns and drinking cold boiled water. Because this Yan Fei had a good impression of them, he felt that this group of people was quite down-to-earth.

In fact, there are also different types of experts, like Professor Qi, who have to spend a lot of time doing observation and sampling records in the field like the old farmers in the countryside. And like Hofstadtert's words, now Yan Fei already knows that this is a biologist, although it is easy to be a professor on campus, but there is no less to do in the field to eat and sleep.

Even some experts who purely study theories sometimes need to look for materials in the pile of old papers to study historical facts, and these historical facts may have just been unearthed, and they may not have stayed in the house to study.

Only those 'brick families' who want to get ahead with amazing rhetoric, such as one who suggested abolishing pension insurance, work-related injury insurance, unemployment insurance and other benefits, said that it would keep people more motivated to work...... Such a brick family must not need to work so hard, anyway, there is nothing to lie on the bed, waiting for the pig-like head to 'flash', and immediately become famous.

There are many experts who work hard, such as experts who study dinosaur fossils, who often have to carry shovels and small chisels and small brushes, squat in the wilderness to dig soil and dig stones, eat steamed buns and drink cold water.

Hofstadt rattled into a piece of roasted brown steamed buns, and whined to Yan Fei about how good the academic atmosphere of Daoqiao University is, not only with the world's first-class laboratories, but also with well-known figures from all over the world.

And his ultimate goal is to think that a young and good boy like Yan Fei who is very studious should go to a place like Daoqiao University.

Yan Fei showed a yearning at the right time: "When I graduate from university, I will definitely apply to go to Daoqiao University to continue my studies." I wish I could see the legendary Knife Bridge sooner and see the golden willow ...... on the river."

Hofstadt laughed happily: "Actually, you don't necessarily need to wait until you graduate from college, maybe the opportunity will appear soon." Don't forget what I just said, I'm sure the next time we see each other won't be too long. ”

Yan Fei knew the meaning of Hofstadter's words, which was what he had just said, the invitation letter of Knife Bridge University. But just like he just slandered, there are two professors in his family, and he still has to take the exam at the last agricultural university, and now with the words in front of him, he can enter a world-renowned university, which is too child's play, right?

I thought so in my heart, but my face showed a happy yearning like last time: "I hope so." ”

Anyway, it's all fooling, you fool me and I fool you, as long as you can handle the current things for us, other things are easy to say. When our paper is successfully published, it doesn't matter what kind of knife bridge and gun bridge he has, whoever likes to go......

Hofstadter obviously didn't know the studious teenager in front of him, and he had a belly full of fancy intestines. After seeing Yan Fei's yearning, he already felt a little like treating him as a disciple, and when he spoke again, he was a little less polite and a little more pointing.

The group simply settled lunch, and before they could rest for a few minutes, Hofstadter anxiously urged Yan Fei to continue on his way.

The road behind is not easy to walk, basically there is no way to go, and it is now the season of dense trees, it is all up to the boss Niu to take turns to open the road with the villagers, so that the team behind can continue to move forward - the worst thing is that the team in the group of suits and leather shoes, walking in the mountains and forests, from time to time to climb high and low, is really not a pleasant experience.

The last time Yan Fei came, there was a lot of distance running on his daughter-in-law's back, and he could walk on his daughter-in-law's back, for normal people, it can't be called a normal road, and he has to turn a few corners from time to time.

Fortunately, the general direction is good, Yan Fei has already heard the sound of water, and knows that he must be looking for a good place - even if it is wrong, it doesn't matter, as long as it is next to the stream, just point to a random place, it really doesn't matter.

However, as he walked, as he got closer and closer to his destination, Yan Fei's face became a little strange. After taking two more steps, he paused slightly, and then showed a sudden look.

Suddenly, there was a little crying and laughing, and there was a hint of relief and a hint of happiness.

No one knew that his mind had turned hundreds of times in just two steps, and everyone was still trying to conquer this roadless mountain forest, hoping to reach the destination as soon as possible, and then go down the mountain as soon as possible.

Finally, the destination was getting closer and closer, and Yan Fei suddenly exclaimed: "Not good, Dr. Coopb, Dr. Hofstadter, I suddenly have a hint of foreboding, please allow me to take the first step and rush there as soon as possible to take a look at the situation." ”

Saying that, he didn't wait for the two to answer, so he ran up quickly, and quickly crossed the Niu boss and his party who opened the way in front, like a springbok running in the mountains and forests, and the whole person disappeared from everyone's sight during the jump.

This has inevitably attracted many people to sigh - after walking on the mountain road for more than half a day, now everyone is a little exhausted, and there are all kinds of unavoidable reasons to insist on walking.

Dr. Cooper even smiled and said to Hofstadter, "If he really accepts the invitation, you must admit him as a disciple as soon as possible." I think he will definitely be a magical kung fu in Huaxia, otherwise how can he be so neat, I feel that he is like Tarzan of the Apes, and he will definitely be your best assistant when he cooperates with you in the field research in the future. ”

Hofstadt grinned, happily even his steps were much easier, and waved his hand: "We also have to speed up, we can't be left too far by young people." ”

The acceleration of the two of them made some of the escorts behind them a little unbearable. People who have never walked the mountain road will never understand what it means to look at the mountain and run a dead horse. I didn't see that except for those villagers now, everyone else is obviously a little disheveled, and their image has changed greatly.

It didn't take long for everyone to see Yan Fei's figure in the distance, only to see him standing quietly on a big rock, looking at the front like a sculpture...... Xiao Suo?

In fact, everyone can already faintly hear the sound of running water in front of them, and when they think that the destination is in front of them, they are a little excited.

However, when everyone worked hard to come to the place where Yan Fei was, they were all a little dumbfounded when they looked at the scene below.

The river in the small valley is surging, and the muddy river water spreads unscrupulously everywhere in the small valley, and the river water can still see the leaves and branches carried down by the water from time to time, mixed with some strange and messy things.

The water is rising!

Before Yan Fei did not excavate the river to build the island in the middle of the river, in July and August every year, in the eyes of the people of Sanchahe Township, the most important thing is to observe the east and west rivers and care about whether the water level will rush into the town.

Now that Yanfei has excavated a new river channel and two sand dredging boats are working day and night, everyone is less worried about the water level in the summer.

But not worrying doesn't mean that the rain will suddenly decrease every summer.

In fact, the current water flow in the valley cannot be called a rising water, but a normal seasonal water level rise. But this is the valley, and the place Yan Fei chose was a rocky tidal flat next to the creek - the girl was still catching fish in the water at that time, and he was next to it.

The problem is that although the weather was warm at that time, it was not yet the time for the water level to rise, and now that the water level has risen, the place where Yan Fei described to Cooper and Hofstadter where the two insects were found was completely submerged.

So at this moment, what Cooper and Hofstadtert, with those scholars, and the large group of companions behind, saw a big river instead of the small stream that Yan Fei said.

This is...... Heaven is not beautiful?

Many people are extremely regretful in their hearts, but Yan Fei still can't cry or laugh in his heart - I just think they will be disappointed, I really didn't expect that it was this way of being disappointed to despair.

Yan Fei tried to recall how the actors expressed the loss, disappointment, despair, sadness, and grief when they came to a certain place after all the hardships they had seen, only to find that there was no answer they were looking for......

His performance was successful, and Hofstadter looked at his stunned appearance and stepped forward with a sigh: "Yan, there is no need to be sad. Just like you found those two bugs, there are always all kinds of accidents in the world of science, right? You see, we've at least learned this time that we don't ignore the impact of the changing seasons on the environment before we do a field trip, right?"

You're right!

"I'm just, I'm just...... I really didn't expect it to be like this......" Yan Fei muttered, giving a thumbs up to the doctor who seemed a little strict at first, but only found that his face was cold and warm after contact.

"Don't be discouraged, small setbacks are inevitable on the path of science. Hofstadt persuaded. "If all roads are smooth, then how can we experience the joy of reaching the end!"

Just as he was talking, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to Yan Fei: "Sometimes you should take a longer view, for example, you should know that living things don't just include insects. Do you see the tree next to you? Do you know it?"

Yan Fei made a stunned look: "This ...... Isn't it just a metasequoia?"

This kind of plant shape is actually very common in the dinosaur world, and Yan Fei put some effort into the trees in order to find a few suitable landscape trees for his small courtyard, and it is not uncommon to recognize metasequoia.

"Then how did you forget how long Metasequoia has lived on the planet beneath our feet?" Hofstadter reminded with a smile.

"I ...... I just think that this plant is not a very rare thing in our place, and it is found in many mountains. Yan Fei was stunned for a moment, and then a complicated look of surprise appeared on his face. "Are you saying metasequoia can prove my findings? But plants and animals are welcome to survive differently, right?"

"Even without them, we would have believed you. Cooper, who was next to him, laughed. "Metasequoia, which is very common here, is not as common as you think. It's always too easy for us to ignore the common things around us, isn't it? Just like in your capital, people there always talk about the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, but for those of us who come here for the first time, those courtyard houses that you think are very common and very common, in fact, every place has a ......history like an ancient castle in our place."

"Just like the centuries-old building in the school we went to? When our school was in poor condition before, it was used as a dormitory building!" Yan Fei immediately drew inferences from one another, and took the opportunity to introduce the ancient building where he had been playing there since childhood.

"Yes, yes, that's right, so we all think that Huaxia is a magical country. Everywhere you look, you can see monuments that have survived hundreds or even thousands of years of wind and rain, and a castle that is two or three hundred years old in our place will be regarded by us as a monument, but it is ......nothing to you," Hofstadter laughed.

The topic of the three of them became farther and farther away, until Lao Niu came up with a shy face: "Brother Yan, do you want to wait until you go back to talk about this with these two doctors?" It's not too early, we should go down the mountain!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Yan Fei looked suddenly enlightened. "Two doctors, do you need anything else to investigate here? It's not early, there are so many of us during the day that wild animals won't approach us, and if it's too late in the evening, I'm afraid I'll encounter wild boars. ”

"Then wait a minute, can I collect some specimens?" Hofstadt remembered to get down to business, and as he spoke, he began to beckon the people behind him, leading them to begin collecting the so-called specimens.

Yan Fei took the initiative to help, and from time to time he also showed his magical 'Chinese kung fu', and soon he and a group of young scholars also became hot......
