In the car, in the back seat, Zheng Si sat with the two children, listening to Jiao Yuan keep telling Xiaoyuzi about the experience of following Jiao's father to the field practice base before. The final exam was good, Jiao Yuan had the confidence to speak, and the atmosphere surrounded by low pressure before the exam was finally dispersed.

In fact, Jiao Yuan was still young at that time, even if he saw a lot of things at that time, he may not be able to remember much clearly when he looks back now, after all, his receptivity at that time was limited, and he didn't know much, so he only thought about running around and playing. What connects the memories is actually a set of photos taken from that year and a few specimens completed under the guidance of Jiao's father.

There are plants and insects in the specimens, but those that are inconvenient to carry are all put at home, Jiao Yuan has a photo album, and this album alone can make Jiao Yuan unable to keep his mouth shut.

It takes about seven hours to drive from Chuhua City to the internship base, so Jiao's father and Jiao's mother are driving separately, otherwise they will be too tired. The group took a short break halfway through, let those students go to the toilet or something, as for those who were motion sick, their faces were white, fortunately, several teachers who led the team were experienced, and in addition to plastic bags, some medicines were prepared.

When Zheng Si woke up from a sleep, he looked out the car window and found that there were many mountains around, and Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyuzi were looking at the map next to him, and he was holding a small flashlight in his hand. It's very close to the internship base that Jiao's dad said.

In fact, the main purpose of the so-called field internship is to bring those students who have just completed their freshman year to come out and get close to nature. In the first year, courses such as botany and zoology are introduced, and some majors also involve ecology. This is also for them to experience it first-hand, to identify some animals and plants, etc., of course, it is not purely for fun, and students who participate in field internships have to write reports afterwards.

For Jiaoyuan and Xiaoyuzi, this is basically a summer vacation. Zheng Si is too.

Walking around the campus of Chuhua University, although the school is very green, it covers a large area among colleges and universities in the country. But in general, it is such a small place, Zheng Si also has the experience of being outcast, but at that time, there were not so many mountains in the place, the feeling of mountains and plains is always different, and the feeling of wandering and vacation is also very different.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the group arrived at their destination.

The field practice base of Chuhua University was built on the mountain, and Zheng Si paid attention to it when he went up the mountain. Many places on the mountain are well built, and the roads and planned houses have a modern mountain town atmosphere, which is not like the mountain life that many people imagine. Of course, this is only a few scenes from the mountains, and in the distance, you can see the endless peaks.

This is the time of year in July and August. The temperature in Chuhua City can soar to more than 40 degrees, and an egg can be cooked quickly on the road, but in the place of the internship base, you can obviously feel that the temperature is several degrees lower than that in Chuhua City when you open the car window.

Before I came, I heard that there were no electric fans installed in the internship base, and some students were still worried about whether they would be steamed by then. After comprehending the summer in Chuhua City, when I heard that there was no electric fan and air conditioner, I couldn't help but worry about it. But when these students got out of the bus and walked into the dormitory arranged by the internship base, they were immediately relieved.

I had already made statistics before I came, so the rooms had already been divided here, and the four people in the Jiao family had a small single room, which was prepared for some leading teachers, and there were four beds in each room, and the people of the Jiao family directly occupied one. In this way, it is more convenient for Zheng Si to move, and he doesn't always have to stay in his bag.

The room has been cleaned and is quite clean, after all, it is where the teachers live. As for the students' place, the conditions are not as good as the teacher's side, the students are bunk beds, four beds and eight beds, and also have a separate bathroom, even if it is not as good as the teachers' side, but the conditions are also passable.

After installing the mosquito net, Jiao's mother laid out the sheets she brought, and the four of them took a shower in turn, first took a good afternoon's sleep, and after having dinner in the canteen of the base, Jiao's father took the children to the auditorium to listen to the lecture.

The evening meeting was mainly a mobilization meeting, talking about the matters to be paid attention to in the internship, emphasizing organizational discipline, and conducting a simple training for the students. Before they came, the students knew about this matter, and although they still didn't understand a lot of things, as long as they followed the teacher, everything was easy.

The teachers usually bring a medicine kit in case they need it, and the children nowadays are so expensive that they can't afford to do anything that happens.

Zheng Si was also brought into the hall, Jiao's father hoped that everyone would listen to it, don't go wrong at that time, after all, there are many mountains around here, and there is still a nature reserve in this place, it is really difficult to say what will be encountered in the summer, snakes, insects, rats and ants will definitely not be less.

Zheng Si nestled in the bag, and several members of the Jiao family were sitting on the side, no one would notice Zheng Si in the bag, and Zheng Sian did not blatantly observe the surroundings, and after listening to the people on the stage speak for a while, he fell asleep.

The teachers and students of Chuhua University also came with people from other schools, and they did not have an internship base here, so they would come with people from Chuhua University every year.

At night, sleeping in this strange place, Zheng Si has nothing to adapt to, the room is full of familiar people's breath, he lies on the head of Xiaoyuzi's bed, sleeps a lot during the day and is in good spirits at night, this place is very quiet, and if you are careful, you can hear a lot of sounds of some animals that are usually inaudible. As the man said when I listened to the report today, this is a city surrounded by nature.

Maybe many people in the city think that being close to nature is a particularly good experience, the air is fresh and quiet enough, but in fact, if you really want to let those people come, they may not be able to bear it.

When I first arrived here today, a few boys slipped around, and they didn't go out of the range of the base, and when they came back, there was a big black bug in the empty drink bottle, Zheng Si hadn't seen it, they asked a few classmates who didn't know, only said that it might be a coleoptera bug, so they took it to ask the teacher who focused on insects. A few of the girls almost screamed when they saw it, and it is estimated that they will definitely not develop in the direction of insects in the future.

So. It can be seen from this that not everyone can live a life in the mountains and forests.

Next. The teachers who led the team did not rush to take the students out, but took the students to the Qishan City Natural History Museum, which is not far from the internship base.

Zheng Si stayed in the backpack and was brought in by Jiao's father, it stands to reason that he can't bring animals in casually, but now it is a group of students and teachers from colleges and universities, and the doorman at the door and the management of the museum didn't care much, and they also talked to a few teachers who led the team for a while, and they looked like they knew each other. And the person in charge of the library only focused on paying attention to not letting those students cause damage.

Zheng Si stayed in the backpack. Looking out from the gap in the zipper, the backpack has been changed by Jiao's mother, and there is an extra mesh part, it is difficult for people outside to find out what is in the backpack if they don't look carefully, but Zheng Si in the backpack can see the outside from the gauze, and there is no need to worry about hiding in the backpack too stuffy.

Zheng Si didn't have much interest in those plant specimens, and the students obviously did too. Until you come to the animal exhibit.

Most of the animals you see in the zoo can be seen here, and there are many that you haven't seen in the zoo, but they are just specimens, without any life and no sparkle in their eyes.

Look at the lifelike but lifeless specimens. Zheng Si suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and he didn't know what those animals were thinking when they were made into specimens, maybe they had died long before that.

There were a few teachers and museum people explaining to the students.

"The main types of animal specimens are impregnated specimens, peeled specimens, bone specimens, dried specimens and slide specimens. Impregnated specimens are performed after the animal body has been sacrificed to death, and it is not dissected, but as it was. Specimens preserved in the whole release of the immersion solution. Taxidermy is commonly used in vertebrates, such as birds and mammals. The skin of these vertebrates needs to be peeled, the muscles on the skin are removed, the inner surface of the skin is coated with preservatives, and then the prosthesis is filled, the prosthetic eye is fitted, and the specimen is sutured and shaped......"

Zheng Si looked out from the gauze mesh, and after the teacher in front of him finished explaining, he asked another person to continue, and the person in the back was in charge of making specimens.

Previously, a teacher who taught zoology from the Academy of Sciences of Chuhua University was in charge of the explanation, and there were several teachers of botany, and some of the samples involved in their research projects were from some areas of Qishan City, and they were naturally familiar with the people here.

The taximy led the students to a corner where some tools were placed.

"That is, I will show it to you when you come, and I won't give it to others when they come!"

The taximy pointed out the tools to the students and talked about the taxidermy.

“…… Closer to say, now people's living standards are better, pets have been raised, and deep feelings have been established, but when the pet dies, the owner will feel great pain, but if the dead pet is made into a specimen with real form and complete structure, it can not only send the owner's sorrow, but also preserve it for a longer time......"

Fart!

If he could speak, Zheng Si would probably scold and refute it directly. looked at the Jiao family next to him, Jiao Yuan looked disgusted by the man's words just now, and Xiaoyuzi also frowned, obviously disagreeing with the man's words. Because of the angle, Zheng Si couldn't see the expressions of Jiao's mother and Jiao's father.

The taximy man continued, introducing the functions of those scalpels, tweezers, scissors, wire cutters, files, hammers, saws, nails, lead wires, needles and threads, and other tools.

"Most of the specimens are made using the method of partial prosthesis and partial filling. The general process includes peeling, embalming, prosthesis making, filling, prosthetic eye making, suturing and overall retouching. When peeling, the abdomen is cut open and the whole body is taken out in pieces......"

Listening to the man's words, Zheng Si stayed in his backpack and felt chills.

In the words of the taximy maker, he felt that this profession was a beautiful profession that brought the dead back to life, and he loved it.

In Zheng Si's eyes, the taximy maker is one of his "natural enemies" today.

Although he knew that his breed was not worth much, it was not a rare protected animal, and Jiao's father was protecting him, but after coming out of the museum, that night, Zheng Si still inevitably had nightmares and scared himself awake several times in one night.
