Little Farmer Big Star

Sansheng Village.

The hot summer has passed, and now it is the season of crisp autumn air. There are obviously many more tourists coming to Sansheng Village than in summer.

The leaves on many trees were already a little yellow, and a gust of autumn wind blew by, falling one, two, many leaves.

Some leaves were fluttering and blown far away by the wind. Several tourists' children on the ground were running after the fallen leaves, so happy.

Sansheng Village and Baiyun Mountain in autumn have a unique beauty of autumn. Su Qing likes the beauty of autumn very much.

Under a sycamore tree, Su Qing reached out and grabbed a sycamore leaf that was slowly falling, and said, "Why do you think these trees are losing their leaves at this time?"

Li Fan chuckled and said, "Because they are all deciduous trees, and deciduous trees will naturally lose their leaves."

Su Qing rolled her eyes and was about to speak when she heard a babyish voice say, "Uncle is so stupid. He doesn't even know why trees shed leaves?"

"Uh!" Li Fan and Su Qing turned their heads at the same time, and saw a seven or eight-year-old girl looking at Li Fan with a pair of big eyes, a rather proud look on her face.

Apparently, this little girl knows why trees lose their leaves?

Su Qing burst out laughing, and glanced at Li Fan proudly, as if to say, "How is it? You must be despised by a little girl."

Next to the little girl, a man in his 30s said with embarrassment: "I'm really sorry. Children are not sensible. Please don't mind me."

Although Li Fan was looked down upon by a little girl, there was no trace of embarrassment on his face. He first waved his hand to the man to indicate that he didn't mind.

Then he said to the little girl with a smile: "Did your uncle say something wrong just now? Can you please tell your uncle the answer?"

The little girl looked at the man next to her, and then said: "Okay, trees shed their leaves so that they can survive the cold winter safely."

After the little girl finished speaking, she looked at Li Fan quite proudly.

Li Fan laughed and said, "So that's it. The kid is so smart. Thank you."

The little girl suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She shrank in the direction of the man beside her and said, "You're welcome. I only found out after my father told me."

The man next to him patted the little girl's head affectionately, and then said to Li Fan apologetically: "I'm sorry for making my brother laugh."

Li Fan waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, the kid is really smart."

The little girl was right. In autumn, the air becomes dry, and a large amount of water in the leaves evaporates through the leaf surface. In addition, as the weather gets colder, the role of tree roots weakens and the water absorbed from the ground decreases, making the supply of water exceeds demand. If this continues, the trees will die quickly.

Therefore, in order to continue to survive, trees will form an abscission layer where the leaf stems and branches are connected. When the wind blows, the abscission layer will break and the leaves will fall.

Without the leaves consuming a lot of water, the trunk can survive and survive the winter safely.

When spring comes next year and the flowers bloom, they will be able to flourish again.

Although the little girl's answer was concise and concise, it was also correct.

Of course, if you ask a poet, he will probably tell you that the sky is not holding back, or the leaves are about to fall into the embrace of the earth, etc.

The man apologized again, took the little girl's hand and walked away.

Li Fan and Su Qing also walked forward slowly, watching the tourists coming and going, feeling the occasional autumn breeze, which was very pleasant.

…

At noon, after lunch, Li Fan said to Su Qing, "I'm going to see if Mr. Zheng and Mr. Liang are ready. I'll leave early later."

After saying that, he left the yard and headed towards Zheng Jie's Yuanlai residence.

This afternoon, Li Fan, Su Qing, Zheng Jie, and Liang Sheng will climb to the top of Baiyun Mountain, stay one night at the top, and watch the sunrise tomorrow morning.

You know, Baiyun Mountain is more than 1,000 meters above sea level.

I don’t know the exact height, but Li Fan estimates that it should be around 1,400 meters.

It's not much shorter than the top of Mount Tai.

Of course, it's just that the height is not much shorter.

After Li Fan and Su Qing watched the sunrise on the top of Mount Tai last time, Li Fan said that he would take Su Qing to watch the sunrise on the top of Baiyun Mountain. Su Qing was quite moved.

Although the sunrise at the top of Baiyun Mountain cannot be compared with the sunrise at Mount Tai, it is still worth seeing.

In fact, there are many tourists who spend the night on the top of Baiyun Mountain and wait to watch the sunrise the next day.

Because there is no need to worry about safety issues when spending the night on the top of Baiyun Mountain. Everyone knows that there are dragons, Zhuiyun and other mythical beasts protecting the village, so they do not need to worry about venomous snakes and beasts.

Without venomous snakes and beasts, there are naturally no safety issues. All you need is a tent, some dry food and water, and you can spend a comfortable night on the top of the mountain.

In this case, spending a night on the top of the mountain and watching a spectacular sunrise has become the choice of many tourists.

Some tourists even spend the night on the top of Baiyun Mountain every weekend.

Today happened to be Saturday, and Li Fan estimated that there would be many tourists spending the night at the top of Baiyun Mountain tonight.

Originally, he planned to go with Su Qing, but after Zheng Jie and Liang Sheng found out, they were very interested and wanted to go together.

Li Fan naturally had no objection. The two old men were now in good health, so there would be no problem climbing Baiyun Mountain.

Not long after, it was Yuan Lai who took the lead.

Zheng Jie and Liang Sheng were packing their bags, and it looked like they were almost ready.

Li Fan said: "Is the second elder ready? Don't leave anything behind."

Zheng Jie said: "It's almost done. Are you ready?"

Li Fan said: "Okay, I'll come over to see if you are ready?"

Liang Sheng said: "You said you don't need to bring dry food, so what should we eat at night?"

Li Fan said: "What's the point of eating dry food? Let's bake some game to eat at night. Isn't that much more delicious than dry food?"

Zheng Jie and Liang Sheng's eyes lit up at the same time. Zheng Jie said: "Yes, a good idea. Don't tell me, I haven't eaten roasted game for a long time."

Liang Sheng said: "I haven't eaten for a longer time."

Li Fan laughed and said, "It's okay. I'll have it tonight. Let's go now."

Zheng Jie and Liang Sheng nodded at the same time, each carrying their own baggage, and did not need Li Fan's help.

In the past, they would never have been able to climb Baiyun Mountain with such a heavy burden on their backs, but now, it doesn't take much effort.

"Aunt Zhang, Aunt Wu, let's go." Li Fan said goodbye to Zhang Xia and Wu Bingrong.

"Hey! Thank you for your hard work, Fanzi." Zhang Xia and Wu Binrong said at the same time.

Li Fan laughed and said, "How can you be so lucky?" and then walked towards his home with Zheng Jie and Liang Sheng.
