The scorching sun was in the sky, the sun was scorching, and even the air was filled with a wave of heat, and the vision became blurred, and the dense cornfield behind him faintly blended with the vineyards in the distance, making it impossible to tell what green was and what was green; The main house of the ranch was hidden in the tall verdant of the beech forest, only an outline remained, and the neighing of cattle and sheep could be faintly heard, I don't know if it was an illusion, and even the sound of Jessica and Cole shouting loudly could be heard in the air, and the vitality was surging and boiling in the scorching halo.

In order to match the speed of Song Lingyi and Lu Huaijin, Lu Li followed behind, he could see sweat oozing from the foreheads of the two people, and raised his head to look at the bright sunshine, which was so dazzling that it made people dizzy, but at the beginning of June, he could already feel the scorching heat of summer, "Parents, hurry up and go in, there is no sunshine inside." ”

"Lu Li, you go ahead, you lead the way." Exhausted, Lu Huaijin began to gasp for breath, and the language mode naturally switched to the most familiar and comfortable Chinese. Unlike Lu Li, their life here is still too short, and their way of thinking cannot be switched freely.

Lu Li nodded, walked forward directly, and walked into the forest, the wide and lush shade blocked all the sunlight, and the whole time became dark, even those noises seemed to be blocked, and the whole world fell into silence, bright and still bright, but mysterious.

This made Lu Li stop involuntarily, and every pore on his skin opened, as if he could clearly feel a cold breath entering the blood, and his spirit was lifted.

In the line of sight, the towering trees support the lush branches, the winding vines hang down densely or sparsely, the golden sunlight spills down through the branches and leaves, like a slender lightsaber, arrogantly and brightly piercing the heart of the forest, faintly illuminating the blue-black shadows around it, the light dust flutters around the lightsaber and dances, and the trivial light dust slowly sinks and rises, outlining the outlines of moss, fallen leaves, geckos, and dead wood, and there is a magnificent and powerful force in the quiet.

"Do you hear that?" Song Lingyi's voice sounded in his ears, gently, lest he alarm the sleeping butterfly, Lu Li turned his head suspiciously, and then saw Song Lingyi raise his head, his eyes searching between the canopies, "Bird calls......

The crisp shout of "twitter, twitter......" was not obvious, as if it sounded in the depths of the woods, and the echo of the shock was faintly transmitted along the breeze, but such a faint chirp should not be missed. The noise and noise behind him vanished, and the extreme silence spread out in the trivial sound.

"You say, doesn't this look like entering the elven forest inside the 'Lord of the Rings'?" Lu Li didn't even notice it, and he couldn't help but lower his voice and whisper.

"Don't all elves live in the forest?" Lu Huaijin also lowered his voice, "We have now entered the forest, so, strictly speaking, we have indeed entered the territory of the elves. ”

Lu Li couldn't help but turn his head to look behind him, they were only about ten steps into the forest, the world under the golden sunlight was still alive and bright, within reach, but this short distance isolated them to another world, and even another universe, this feeling was really too amazing, and I couldn't even find the right words to describe it.

Turning his head again, there was this mysterious world in front of him, the excitement of exploring the unknown and exploring the mystery was flowing in the blood, and more importantly, the whole person was integrated into nature, and he didn't even need to open his arms to feel the embrace of nature, so pure that there was no impurity.

"We can rest here for a while and then move on." Lu left his mouth and said.

Lu Huaijin looked at Song Lingyi, and Song Lingyi looked at Lu Huaijin, "How do you feel?" In the end, it was Song Lingyi who asked first.

"I'm fine, I can continue, what about you?" Lu Huaijin's expression was sparse, and his excited expression flowed between his eyebrows.

Song Lingyi wiped the sweat from her forehead, "I'm fine." Then Song Lingyi said to Lu Li, "Then let's continue, if you feel tired, we will tell you." ”

Lu Li looked at his parents seriously, then nodded, "Okay!" ”

As you take a step, the stones, broken wood, weeds and moss under your feet seem very real, and a bouquet of cherry red flowers stands out in a jagged grass, which is particularly conspicuous, and the faint sunlight penetrates down, making the thin petals become translucent, with a crystal texture, which is really magical.

Song Lingyi's pace couldn't help slowing down slightly, and she was about to take a closer look at what kind of flower this was, and then she saw a huge mosquito flying over and flying around the petals, which made Song Lingyi can't help but wonder - not a bee, not a butterfly, but a mosquito? It's really weird.

But at this moment, the combined petals suddenly opened, like the two wings of a butterfly, and swallowed the mosquito with a click. Then quickly close it up.

The whole process didn't even take half a second, and it was so fast that Song Lingyi had already ended before she could react.

The sunlight could still penetrate the thin petals, which allowed Song Lingyi to clearly see the mosquito's struggle and resistance, but it was only a short moment before it did not move. The rest of the matter, even if there is no need to observe, Song Lingyi knows what is going on.

This is the mystery and wonder of nature.

Song Lingyi noticed that Lu Li and Lu Huaijin had stopped and waited in front, and she hurriedly followed, "I saw ...... just now."

"Mom, why are we whispering? There is no one else in this. Although he said this, Lu Li couldn't help but speak in a whispering voice.

"Because it's so quiet in here?" Song Lingyi couldn't help laughing, then coughed twice and returned to its original volume, "I saw that bouquet of flowers just now and devoured a mosquito." Her voice wasn't loud, but there was still a peculiar surround effect around her, not an echo—more accurately, an echo bouncing so fast that it overlapped with the original sound, creating the illusion that it could be heard from all sides.

Lu Li and Lu Huaijin followed Song Lingyi's instructions and looked over, and the beautiful bouquet of flowers was motionless and bathed in the sun, as if nothing had happened just now.

However, Lu Li didn't doubt Song Lingyi at all, "This is just the beginning. According to Cole, there are still more people visiting outside, so there are not many wild animals. If you go inside, you will start to see animals. I mean, except for squirrels. ”

Song Lingyi remembered the jumping and jumping that didn't leave at home, and couldn't help but laugh.

The group of three walked through the forest, and after walking for about forty minutes, they came to a shallow stream, and Lu Li suggested that they sit down and rest. Although Song Lingyi and Lu Huaijin still had physical strength, at Lu Li's insistence, they still decided to rest here for a while, drink a little water, and eat some simple things, such as Snickers, or bananas and chocolate, to replenish their energy.

It is said that it is a small stream, but in fact, it is just a sparse spring flowing down, I don't know where the source is, and I can't even determine whether it is the result of exposing the roots of a large tree to the surface and exposing the underground water source; Moreover, the amount of water is so small that it is suspicious that even animals do not want to come here to drink.

"You've been on the ranch for so long and you've never come in?" Song Lingyi looked at the surrounding scenery, the sunlight that fell through the shade of the trees became bright because of the refraction of the water surface, and the hazy halo made the world beautiful, even if there were only some broken dead branches, rotten leaves and muddy soil around, and even centipedes could be seen burrowing out from under the moss and quickly escaping.

Lu Li shook his head and couldn't help laughing, "I also wonder why I never came in before." ”

"People are always like this, selectively forgetting the environment in which they live." Lu Huaijin picked up the kettle, raised his head and took a sip of water, and then handed the kettle to Song Lingyi, "Just like people who live in Beijing don't go to Tiananmen Square for sightseeing, Shanghainese people don't have a special feeling for the Oriental Pearl." Because these places, these landscapes are so familiar to them, so familiar that they are a part of life, we always have the illusion that we already know everything around us, so we give up exploring. But in fact, if you let your feet go and explore the surrounding streets and storefronts with your home as the center, you will find that the whole world is a little frighteningly strange. ”

Lu Li looked around, "I deeply agree. Not to mention ranching, it's the same in New York. If you pick a bus line, or a subway line, and do it all the way to the end, you will be amazed by the scenery along the way. ”

People are always complaining that they don't have money, they don't have time, they don't have the ability, they want to see the world, they want to travel everywhere, they want to enjoy life, but unfortunately, reality has tied their hands and feet. But in fact, people always look too far and ignore their own lives, and people always look too close and only see the troubles around them.

If you are willing to calm down and look at the grass and trees around you, even if it is just the community you live in, you can find a different side of the world. The only difference is that there is a lack of willingness to calm down, a willingness to settle down, and a willingness to act.

"Don't talk about you, aren't I the same as your dad?" Song Lingyi also laughed, "One is trapped in the garden, the other is trapped in the wine cellar, and we haven't really experienced the life of the ranch. While talking and laughing, Song Lingyi patted Lu Huaijin's knee, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"So, we're here now, aren't we?" Lu Li replied, "It's just that I'm a little unsure, should I be absent, is this more appropriate?" ”
