After dinner, it was already dark.

The birds chirping in the sky have returned to their nests, and the whole mountain forest has become much quieter, except for the wind howling and the trees echoing.

Wang Hua'an threw a large handful of mugwort into the stove as usual, because these mugwort were just picked on the road today, and they were still wet, and suddenly a thick smoke spread in the camp, and even though the mountain wind was howling, it would not disperse.

In the air, the slightly pungent smell made Liu Rui feel refreshed, although this smell is not very good, but it can effectively disperse the poisonous mosquitoes flying in the jungle, which is an indispensable thing for every old mountain person to enter the mountain.

After burning the mugwort, Wang Huaan sprinkled a lot of herbs on the periphery of the camp, blocking the border between the camp and the jungle.

Liu Rui knows that in this subtropical rainforest, a large number of scorpions, centipedes and other poisonous insects breed in the decaying leaf litter. At night, they crawl out of shady corners and move on dry ground. This boulder is one of the few bare rocks in the vicinity, and it must be a paradise for scorpions to party at night. For the safety of the team members, it is necessary to apply anthelmintic drugs.

With an old mountaineer like Wang Huaan following, the members of the investigation team and Liu Rui don't have to worry too much about some details, Wang Huaan will get it right.

It was dark early in the mountain, and Liu Rui looked at his watch at six o'clock, and it was already dark.

After everything was packed up and all kinds of vigilance and protective measures were arranged, the members of the inspection team began to chat around the fire.

Although the members of the expedition team have a good relationship, they are still divided into several small circles, consciously or unconsciously, which can be seen from the construction of the tents.

Almost subconsciously, the two old mountain residents set up their tents on the road bordering the jungle at the camp, and for them, protecting the safety of the other members of the expedition team was the most important mission. The tents of the next three teachers and three students were lined up along both sides of the campfire, and they were of similar age and status, and they had many topics in common.

As for Liu Rui's tent, it was deliberately arranged in the innermost part of the camp by everyone, who called him the youngest person in the team?

But it's okay, Yu Shanwei is on the left side of his tent, and Fu Xiaoqiang is on the right, if you want to find someone to chat, there is no obstacle to ask questions to Yu Shanwei.

It was not yet time to rest, so everyone gathered around the campfire in the center of the camp, chatting and chatting over the fire.

It's already the cold dew season, and it's already a little cold outside the mountain, let alone inside the mountain? As soon as the night fell, the air became cold, and if it weren't for a bonfire, it would have been a little cold.

Wang Huaan and Zhao Liang's topic is naturally inseparable from the farm work at home, and it is estimated that it will take ten and a half days to enter the mountain this time, and I don't know if the family can arrange it all? In a while, it will be the rice harvest season, and I hope that the inspection team will be able to return smoothly and in time.

However, what made Zhao Liang and Wang Huaan feel a little entangled was that the subsidy for the inspection team was 100 yuan a day, which was a lot of income. They hoped that the expedition team would spend more time in the mountains and earn more money, but they also wanted to go home and do farm work, which was really a bit difficult.

Han Zhengbao and others are discussing the rare animals and plants encountered along the way today, and making corresponding arrangements for tomorrow's activities. For them, some of the arrangements in advance are not exhaustive, and the actions of the expedition team need to be adjusted accordingly according to the situation encountered on a daily basis.

For example, the Chinese alder forest in the valley is an unexpected situation, and the investigation team will not leave here too far tomorrow, but will take the alder forest as the center to conduct a detailed investigation of this area. Several teachers were discussing business, and Fu Xiaoqiang and the others were not idle, they were sorting out the specimens collected today outside the tent with the help of the light of the bonfire.

Liu Rui followed Fu Xiaoqiang and learned how to make plant specimens, although his theoretical knowledge was not very solid, but his hands-on ability was not bad, and he soon found a little way.

Of course, for Liu Rui, making specimens is not the most critical technology, because he has a cheat. Every time he encounters rare and rare plants, he secretly transplants them into the space, and according to the special surname of the space, basically every plant can thrive. If Liu Rui wants to study the shape characteristics and growth habits of plants, there are fresh plants ready anytime and anywhere, and there is no need for specimens at all.

However, being idle is also idle, and it is always good to learn more.

As the night deepened, the mountain became quieter, and the sound of insects was pitifully scarce, except for the occasional terrible cry of night owls in the distance.

In this way, the sudden appearance of the camp in the depths of the mountain brought a little vitality to the sleeping mountain, and Liu Rui's conversation could be heard far away, causing a burst of echoes in the valley.

Burning red, bonfires cut through the boundaries of the night sky, attracting flying insects like a lighthouse. Even if there was a disgusting smell in the air, they did not hesitate to pounce. Liu Rui, who was sitting next to the bonfire, looked at the flying insects that fell into the fire one after another, crackling and crackling, and finally understood the meaning of the idiom moth to the fire.

Soon, the air began to fill the air with a burning smell, coupled with the moths that were constantly struggling and wriggling in the fire, Liu Rui soon felt a little numb.

A little away from the bonfire, Liu Rui found that Yue'er didn't know when she quietly climbed into the air, and the clear moonlight and mercury poured on the ground, covering the whole mountain with a hazy light veil.

There are no dark clouds, no air pollution, the sky is like a huge dark green gem, and the moon is a round jade plate set on it. I used to see the moon at home, but Liu Rui never felt that the moon was close at hand, and it seemed that he could reach it.

Li Bai Shiyun: "The dangerous building is 100 feet high, and you can pick the stars with your hands."

Perhaps, the more you go to the mountains, the more obvious this feeling becomes.

After working for a while, everyone returned to their tents and prepared to rest, after all, they had all walked hard in the jungle all day today, even if everyone was young and middle-aged, they were a little tired.

After a while, the lights in the tent went out one by one, and only the campfire was left jumping constantly, attracting the moths to approach the light with their lives.

Liu Rui, who was a little energetic, couldn't sleep while lying in his sleeping bag, so he put his consciousness into the space.

After entering Xiaoqingshan today, Liu Rui could clearly feel that the stone beads in his mind were cheering, constantly spinning, absorbing the free aura in the air. Although it was only one day, Liu Rui felt that the space that had been maintained during this time had changed a little, and it had become one size larger.

Liu Rui is a little looking forward to it, if he appears in a place with abundant spiritual energy for a long time, how big can this Shennong space become?

The last time Liu Rui entered the mountain, he secretly transplanted a lot of seedlings of dove trees, bracken and Wangtian trees into the space. In less than half a month, under the moisture of the spatial aura and spring water, these plants have undergone earth-shaking changes.

The dove tree has grown to knee height, and its jagged leaves are verdant, forming a new landscape in the space. It's a pity that these seedlings are not yet mature to bloom, otherwise they would be even more beautiful.

According to Xu Wenchang, when the dove tree blooms, the white bracts float in the green leaves, just like thousands of white pigeons perched on the treetop branches, which is magnificent. It is precisely because of these beautiful bracts that the dove tree is known as the 'pigeon tree'.

After listening to Xu Wenchang's narration and seeing the relevant pictures, Liu Rui decided to use the space to cultivate the seedlings of the dove tree, and then try to plant them in the valley behind his home. If it succeeds in the future, every year in April and May, the valley will be filled with beautiful flowers and flowers.

For various reasons, the valley in the back mountain has always been in a barren state, and no one pays attention to it. However, as time went on, Liu Rui had already begun to analyze the valley accordingly and was ready to contract it out so that some of his ideas could be realized.

It is quite difficult for the Wangtian tree to breed naturally, but after Liu Rui has a cheat, the seedlings of the Wangtian tree transplanted into the space are already thriving, and the seeds buried in the sand have also begun to germinate. Liu Rui is now looking forward to what kind of sensational thing it will be when a Wangtian tree is planted on the side of his mountain stream?

Perhaps, a towering sky-looking tree will become the most eye-catching symbol of the Liu family's compound.

Bracken is the next profitable project that Liu Rui is preparing to focus on, and Liu Rui is naturally quite concerned about them.

At the same time as the construction of the pig farm, the vegetable garden next to it has already begun to plan, and Liu Rui's plan is that the vegetables supplied to the 'South Beauty' in the future will be supplied by the vegetable garden of the pig farm, so that Liu Rui can be liberated. After all, tying yourself up for two or three hundred yuan a day is really a bit more than worth the loss.

As for the bracken, it is different, as a perennial plant, as long as it is properly managed, it can be harvested intensively for several months each year. Moreover, bracken does not need to be taken care of every day like vegetables, which can make Liu Rui and his mother Zhang Guizhi easier.

Of course, the price of rare bracken is much better than that of vegetables, which is the main reason why Liu Rui chose to grow bracken.

Because the aura in the space is becoming more and more abundant, not only has the circle been expanded, but the plants growing in it have also become more watery, which can be called perfect.

In the pond, the tadpoles laid by the tabby frogs have begun to metamorphose, their tails gradually shrinking, and they are about to grow their hind legs. This batch of tabby frogs is also another key development project of Liu Rui, and after the transformation of the mountain pond in winter, Liu Rui is ready to open a tabby frog breeding farm to breed tabby frogs for sale.

According to the understanding of the catering market during this time, tabby frogs are in short supply in the market, and there is no market for them, even if they are bred in captivity, the price is ridiculously high. As long as he can get the license for breeding tabby frogs in captivity, Liu Rui, who has space to back him, is absolutely confident that he will make this business bigger.

After wandering in the space for a long time, he found that everything was developing smoothly, and Liu Rui came out of the space very satisfied and quietly entered a sweet dreamland.

The first day after entering the mountain passed in a calm manner.
