Chapter 16: Seeing Things and Knowing Their Shapes [I]
As the two of them deepened, different creatures around them loomed one after another, some of them were known to Chen Yuqi, some were heard of by Chen Yuqi, and many were creatures that Chen Yuqi had never heard of.
Every time a new creature appeared, Chen Yuqi would always pull the corner of Mr. Chen's clothes and ask what kind of creature it was, and after Mr. Chen's explanation, he was always confused and clear.
For example, in a cat creature he met just now, Chen Yuqi only remembered its appearance, but he couldn't remember its name.
Mr. Chan introduced to her that it was called the seven-knot civet and that it was an animal that feeds on wild fruit insects and likes to be nocturnal.
But Chen Yuqi looked up through the canopy of the trees, looked at the sun in the sky, and found that it was not yet noon, why did all the animals in the night come out now?
In the end, Chen Yuchen smelled a fragrance next to the clump of small berries that the little thing had just run, and instantly thought about what kind of creature it was, it turned out to be a fragrant cat, that is, a little civet.
In addition to animals, Mr. Chen often went to the bushes, took out the medicine hoe and medicine shovel in the back basket, and dug up some herbs that Chen Yuqi was familiar with. There are many of the herbs in the medicinal soup that Chen Yuchen bathes every three days!
Mr. Chen squatted down and gently picked the herbs, and whispered to Chen Yuqi the name and efficacy of the herbs, and Chen Yuqi was confused for a while.
After talking about pharmacology and efficacy, Mr. Chen always warned her, saying that all things are born to coexist, and when collecting medicines, you can't 'cut off their roots', and you should leave room for them to grow again. will not disappoint the avenue of heaven.
After talking a lot, Chen Yuqi listened to it with a little headache. Later, after looking back, I realized that this is not what we mean by 'sustainable development'.
But Chen Yuqi looked at the medicinal herbs everywhere and felt that there was no need for 'sustainable development' now, right?
Chen Yuqi looked at Mr. Chen with some emotion, the concept of 'sustainable development' is a remedial concept put forward by human beings when they find that resources are slowly disappearing after wantonly claiming nature, but Mr. has this kind of thinking when materials are so abundant, which is really an unusual height!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shake her head, deeply feeling that there are not only different cultural differences in different worlds. And there is really a gap between people!
At the same time, I made up my mind that when I went back, I would ask my husband to teach me the knowledge of this world, and I would also ask my husband more about ideological issues.
In her body's memory, she seemed to have an extremely well-stocked attic that she would definitely go in and see when she returned.
Looking and asking all the way, Chen Yuchen found that the small animals he saw along the road, whether they were bobcats or green snakes, whether they were chickadees or hedgehogs, they all looked 'stupid and stupid'. Even the rabbit, who was particularly timid, did not run away immediately when he saw the two.
'They're not afraid of humans at all?!'
Thinking of this, Chen Yuchen looked back at the surroundings with some emotion, this place is like a pure land that has not been set foot by humans!
As time passed, the sun above the canopy slowly reached the middle of the sky, and the two of them gradually went deeper into the woodland.
When the two of them came to a big tree, Mr. Chen suddenly stopped.
Chen Yuqi, who was walking behind, couldn't help but stop.
"Shh~!"
When Chen Yuqi walked up to Mr. Chen with some confusion and was about to ask something, Mr. Chen bent down, put his slender index finger to his mouth, and motioned Chen Yuqi not to speak. Then he pointed to the side with the firewood knife in his right hand, and whispered in his mouth:
"Don't make a sound, you see!"
Looking in the direction of Mr. Chen's finger, Chen Yuqi was momentarily sluggish.
A secluded waterhole, nestled among the shadows of the trees, and I don't know how big it is. The branches of the trees on the side of Tan fell to the water, the white flowers fell on the branches like elves, the noon sun shone from the canopy to the bottom of the pool, and a herring gently swayed its fins among the pebbles and aquatic plants. The water reflects the shadows of the trees and the blue sky, like a beautiful painting by a top master.
A fresh breeze blows, and the water surface ripples slightly, like a drop of oil paint falling onto the painting, instantly awakening the whole painting.
The branches swayed gently in the breeze, and white flowers fell from between the branches, some drifting into the distance, some falling into the water. In the water, the big herring flicked its tail and disappeared into the dense aquatic plants in an instant. Among the blades of grass swaying in the breeze, seven or eight figures also slowly approached the waterhole from not far away.
It was only then that Chen Yuqi realized that what Mr. Chen asked him to see was not the beautiful and quiet pool, but the figures that blended into the shadows of the trees, which were also one of the targets of their trip - deer.
Slowly approaching the waterhole were seven or eight deer of different ages, whose appearance was very similar to the sika deer that Chen Yuqi had seen on the Internet in his previous life.
It's just that the coat color of the sika deer is reddish-brown fur with white plum spots, while the few in front of me are yellow-brown with white spots.
Among the several deer in front of him, the leader was a slender and sturdy adult male deer with a clump of dendritic antlers. I saw it looking around left and right with its head held high, as if it was patrolling the territory. Its two ears, which were small for its antlers, were constantly fluttering, indicating that it was actually observing the situation at the waterhole.
The sturdy stag was followed by three slender deer shadows without horns, which should be three adult females. And in the middle of the three females, there are two small figures, their fur is pale yellow, and from the legs to the rump is a white fluff. These appear to be two young deer that have just been born for a short time.
At the end, there are also two adult bucks with antlers, but one of them has a slightly dark fur and seems to have entered old age.
A group of 'otherworldly sika deer' came to the waterhole, and the three adult females went with the two little ones to drink water, and the other three adult males stood on guard. After the female and cub have finished drinking, it is the turn of the other two adult males to drink.
After all the deer had finished drinking, the leading stag went to the waterhole and drank the water.
Standing behind the shadows of the trees and shrubs, Chen Yuqi watched the deer's every move intently, watching the deer shadow raise his feet and tilt his head, and look at the stag that was drinking water stretching his neck and bowing his head, and gradually realized a little.
And Chen Yunhan, who was standing next to the little girl, didn't keep looking at the deer. He glanced at a dense bush in the distance of the deer, and then turned his head to look at Chen Yuchen who was looking at the deer group in contemplation, the corners of his mouth outlined a shallow arc, and his eyes were a little playful.
When the leading adult bucks had finished drinking, the deer did not leave, but walked to a meadow not far away to nibble on the grass that contained water at the edge of the pool.
At this time, Chen Yuqi had already closed his eyes, and his brain recalled the elegant and agile form of the deer herd just now, and compared with the first half of the 'deer-shaped play' he did every day, he felt extraordinarily fit. This is how your own set of actions should be, like this.....
