Extra: Xu Ye (2)

At the age of eighteen, Xu Ye completed her coming-of-age ceremony in the primeval forest. The pickup truck drove along the winding mountain road for more than two hours, and it was a rainy morning, and the fog on both sides of the road gradually dispersed, and layers of clouds and mist surrounded the mountain, and the air was unusually fresh. Small villages are scattered in the middle of the mountainside, like a fairyland, and it is extremely beautiful!

Xu Ye asked anxiously, "Have you arrived?" Grandma shook her head, "It's early!" ”

Passing through the villages, there is a potholed dirt road that can barely be passed by a car, with rocks on one side and abyss on the other, without any guardrails, which is extremely dangerous, and the chest is bumped and painful, and the woods passing by the car window are getting denser and denser, and the people are becoming more and more scarce.

After driving nearly ten kilometers in this way, there was no road at all, and they could only get out of the car and walk. Several villagers were waiting on the side of the road to pick up the wind for them, and while chatting, Xu Ye knew that these villagers were their family's helpers, and the hill here was where grandparents collected tea all year round.

There is almost no way up the mountain, and you can only walk left and right through the leafy jungle, and the villagers seem to have a "treasure map" in their minds. They can follow a hidden route through a dense forest with no roads at all to find exactly where the wild tea tree is.

Due to the local rainfall for several days, the road is muddy and difficult to walk, the big trees that can be seen everywhere fall down due to rain or wind or the old trees are too big, and then decay into nutrients after many years, and the humus soil fermented by the leaves under the feet is very soft, and the sunlight penetrates through the gaps between the scattered leaves, and there is only the sound of insects and birds singing and the rustle of feet stepping on fallen leaves. The mountains stretch and are full of verdant greenery, and the trunks and branches are covered with verdant mosses, ferns and other epiphytes.

The terrain in the mountains is complex, the soil is fertile, and there are more than 1,900 kinds of higher plants in the red soil zone below 700 meters above sea level and the yellow soil zone at 700-1000 meters above sea level. Complex and diverse vegetation types, including seasonal rainforest, semi-evergreen monsoon rainforest, limestone mountain forest, warm coniferous forest, thermal bamboo forest, floodplain shrub, mountainous hilly shrub, grass grass shrub planting, etc., cycad, alder, red toon, magnolia, hemp, camphor and other rich plant species produce a large number of negative oxygen ions beneficial to people and plants. Ancient Tertiary tree species such as fir, metasequoia, dove tree, white yew, golden fir, eucommia ulmoides and magnolia have also been discovered, which have successfully escaped the major effects of the Quaternary Ice Age and have been fortunate enough to survive the harsh climate and survive in the primeval forest.

According to the accompanying villagers, there are all kinds of birds and animals in the primeval forest, and even occasionally you can see flying squirrels, their tails are almost the same length as their bodies, when they do not open their flying membranes, they resemble squirrels, their back hair is gray-brown or yellow-brown, their ventral surface is gray-white, and their dorsal hair is orange-red. There are still old trees in the forest that have survived for an unknown number of years, the trunks are empty, and they can accommodate three or four people at the same time, and you can see the stars when you look up at night. But even so, the leaves on the branches outside were still green.

The group staggered forward in the winding and intricate primitive nature, ignoring the mountains and forests and thorny bushes, and the higher they went, the denser the forest became. The air is full of the fragrance of all kinds of plants, and the whole primeval forest is shrouded in a vast sea of fog, giving birth to thousands of wisps of clouds and smoke in silence, and a large cloud of water vapor is thick over the forest, and suddenly disappears without a trace.

The fog reduces the water consumption of the transpiration of the tea tree, and increases the surface water with 0.2~0.4 mm of fog and dew every day to improve the humidity of the air, so that the ancient tea tree can flourish. Therefore, the tea proverb says: "The mountains and clouds are famous for tea". Wild tea tree is an ancient plant of the Cenozoic era, scattered in the surrounding at least 100,000 acres of primeval forests and primeval secondary forests.

Lu Yu highly admires wild tea, "The wild one is good, nature creates all things, and artificial quick development can be Zhong Lingyuxiu!" A few tea pickers are hidden among the tea bushes, and it is difficult to spot them without greeting them. Xu Ye felt that he was infected with the "smoke and haze habit", and lingered in the forest and forgot to return.
