Before Cen Jiahua could express too much emotion about the style of the mountain village, Chen Yang had already called Cen Jiahua to come to a bush of dark green shrubs.

In Cen Jiahua's surprised eyes, Chen Yang pulled off a handful of tender leaves, rubbed it in his hands for a while, then applied the light green juice to his face, the exposed skin on his hands, and even the clothes.

"Ayang, what are you doing?" Cen Jiahua asked a little strangely.

"Brother Jiahua, hurry up and apply Qilixiang juice on your body, so that it can prevent mosquitoes." Chen Yang saw that Cen Jiahua was still motionless, and knew that he didn't understand the meaning of doing this, so he had to explain to him.

This season is the time when the flower mosquitoes in the mountains are the most rampant. They can bite countless blood-red bags on people's bodies through their clothes. In order to avoid mosquito bites in the mountains, the hardworking and wise children of Zhuang family have discovered many plants for mosquito repelling mosquitoes after constantly summarizing their life experience.

With these plants, people can avoid harassment from mosquitoes while working in the mountains and avoid the spread of infectious diseases.

The shrub that Chen Yang smears is also one of them. Its name is Qilixiang.

Cen Jiahua applied Qilixiang's juice to her face and hands according to Chen Yang's words, and felt that the skin that was applied to the juice was cold. When she sucked it with her nose, a fishy smell rushed straight into her nostrils, but then it turned into a faint fragrance of plants and trees, which was amazing.

"Brother Jiahua, before leaving later, tie up the cuffs and trousers of the clothes to avoid leeches from getting into the clothes and biting them."

"Mountain Legs!" As soon as he heard that it was this terrifying creature described in the book, Cen Jiahua couldn't help but get goose bumps on his body.

As soon as he saw Cen Jiahua's nervous look, Chen Yang smiled and comforted him, "This is just in case. We will only be around nearby today and will not go deep into the Lotus Mountain, so we should not encounter it."

Lianhua Mountain happens to be on the Tropic of Cancer, and there are many hot rainforests here. In this climate, it is a place for drought leeches to survive. If you do not pay attention to protection, it can penetrate into the body from the gaps in your clothes and nail the person's body to the point. Because drought leeches can produce an anesthetic when biting, which makes people unable to feel pain when they are bleeding, which is a very troublesome guy.

Therefore, the Zhuang family living nearby knows to take necessary protection before entering the mountain to avoid being attacked and bitten by drought locusts.

After cleaning up, Chen Yang began to take Cen Jiahua to travel between the mountains and forests. Chen Yang has been following Comrade Chen to circle the mountains since he was a child. Even if he didn't know the entire Lianhua Mountain well, he was confident in some areas near Rongshu Village.

He took Cen Jiahua along those paths that were not considered roads at all. Sometimes in the forest, sometimes by the stream, sometimes in the valley, sometimes on the top of the mountain, as flexible as monkeys who have been releasing back into the forest.

Some paths circling across the steep mountain walls, which can only accommodate one or two people side by side, and on the other side are unfathomable mountain streams. In some places, when someone walks by, the soil and stones will loosen and fall into the mountain streams.

Cen Jiahua, who has lived in a big city since she was a child, has never seen such a steep road, so she is so nervous that she doesn't even dare to go out of the atmosphere every time she takes. She is cautiously afraid of missing out on one step and says goodbye to this colorful world.

In contrast, Chen Yang's performance made Cen Jiahua feel a little ashamed. His steps were light and without any stagnation as he walked. He also stopped from time to time and cut off the branches growing on the path with the mountain-opening sickle he brought.

"Ayang, what are you doing?" Cen Jiahua couldn't help but feel curious when he saw Chen Yang stopping to cut down the branches.

"The plants in this jungle grow very fast. If these branches that grow horizontally are not cut off, the road will be blocked in a short time. At that time, more manpower will be needed to clean it up." Chen Yang explained to Cen Jiahua while waving his sickle.

Only then did Cen Jiahua realize that this was a primitive and spontaneous road maintenance behavior. Even young people like Chen Yang are so familiar with the path. It seems that this concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people walking in the mountains.

"Ayang, how could you walk so easily? Aren't you afraid when you passed through the mountain wall just now?" Cen Jiahua thought of Chen Yang's relaxed movements and expression just now, and inevitably turned into a curious baby again.

"Haha, you won't be afraid if you walk a few times. Also, don't keep looking elsewhere, just look at your feet."

After the obstacles were cleared, the two of them started to set off again. As they continued to move forward, the road ahead became even more difficult.

Some roads are directly opened on hillsides close to 6 or 70 degrees, and then square pits are dug out on the road. Chen Yang told Cen Jiahua that these roads are called "Pig Tank Road", and they are named because of the square pits similar to pig Tanks on the road.

Because it often rains in the jungle, once it rains, these steep mountain roads are very slippery, and it is basically difficult for people and horses to climb up. Therefore, these small pits opened up have become the best anti-slip measures, which are the results obtained by people after summarizing years of experience.

Along the way, tall evergreen trees covered the clouds and sunshine. Walking underneath, you can't feel the existence of sunshine at all. Although it is the hottest season in Tianzhou, Cen Jiahua can still feel a sense of coolness in the mountains.

Because of the abundant rainfall and abundant sunshine, tropical forests are very different from those in the northern coniferous forests. Here, there are many tall weeds in Qi people, and the vines are densely occupied in almost all spaces. Except for the paths opened by our ancestors, the forest is basically airtight and has no way to go.

In addition, because the dew in the mountains was heavy, Cen Jiahua and the others had just walked for a while and their pants were already wet. Even the top had a little wet mark, which made Cen Jiahua a little embarrassed when she was hiking for the first time. Fortunately, Cen Jiahua's physical fitness was much better than before after practicing "health preservation skills", so that she could easily keep up with Chen Yang's footsteps.

Cen Jiahua asked Chen Yang why he didn't wait until the dew was dry before entering the mountain. The answer he got was that partridges would only show up for food in the morning, so he had to go out early.

At this time, Cen Jiahua remembered a sentence: "The early birds eat insects, and the early insects are eaten by birds." However, the hunter set his sights on the early birds eat insects, which is really a complete biological chain.

However, with Chen Yang, a clever ghost, it is naturally impossible to defeat the urban and rural duo. Chen Yang led Cen Jiahua to follow the horse gangs, herb collectors and hunters, and kept moving forward over the years.

It’s true that although Chen Yang is young, his experience in traveling in the mountains is beyond the reach of Cen Jiahua. The light green scented juice played a huge role, and there were no mosquitoes to harass them along the way.

After walking for more than an hour, the two of them walked to a stream. Chen Yang stopped and rested. Cen Jiahua looked at the stream extremely clear, sat on the rock by the stream, took off his shoes, and soaked his feet in the water. He only felt a refreshing chill that rushed directly from the Yongquan point on the soles of his feet. Suddenly, a little fatigue disappeared.

This stream is about 2 or 3 meters wide, extending from the depths of the valley. The stream is covered with smooth pebbles, and under the extremely clear stream water, pieces are extremely watery. At the bottom of the water, the green algae are gently swinging with the flowing water, like an elegant girl, which reminds Cen Jiahua of Xu Zhimo's "Farewell to Cambridge" "The green water on the soft mud is swaying under the water."

From time to time, three or two swimming fish twisted their flexible bodies, swam to Cen Jiahua's feet, and even kissed Cen Jiahua's feet mischievously. Once Cen Jiahua moved her feet, they immediately rushed out smartly. Then they looked over and looked at it, and then continued to run over to have intimate contact with Cen Jiahua's big feet.

Chen Yang told Cen Jiahua that this fish is called "Dimyo Fish". He doesn't know what its real scientific name is. This fish can be seen everywhere in the waters near Lianhua Mountain, and there is nothing strange about it. This small fish looks a little dizzy because of its deep and shallow black markings on its body. In addition, they seem dizzy and a little stupid, so people call them "Dimyo Fish".

The 'dirty fish' grows to the largest size of a thumb, and it doesn't taste very good. Locals mainly use this fish as bait for fishing catfish and aconite, and few people will fish them back and eat them.

There were bursts of crickets in the grass not far away, and there were frog-like chirpings in the pile of stones next to the stream, but Chen Yang told Cen Jiahua that this was a kind of frog's distant relative, called "Shou Frog", which was not delicious at all.

From time to time, birds cries came from the nearby mountains and forests, but Cen Jiahua couldn't hear them.

Chen Yang, sitting opposite Cen Jiahua, was in a mountainous state. He could tell which sound was heard by the bird. Listening to his explanation, Cen Jiahua opened his eyes.

The clearer and more urgent thing is the sound of the tits; the chirping is the flock of sparrows; the turtle doves are not loud, but they have good penetration;... etc. All kinds of knowledge have allowed Cen Jiahua to learn that such a great knowledge can be achieved in the birds in the forest that seem ordinary.

After resting for a while, Chen Yang stood up and said, "Brother Jiahua, let's go. When we cross the last ridge in front, there will be a partridge forest on the hillside."

Then, the two began another round of progress.
Chapter completed!
