The final exam is finally over. Xu Xiaodong is going to enjoy his last summer vacation in primary school. As for the plan, he has arranged it.
In order to cooperate with his plan, his father finished his work ahead of schedule and went home from the distant Mu Us desert by camel, foot, car, train, plane and other means of transportation, which shows how much his father supported his plan. And my mother has arranged the affairs of her own clinic and is ready to leave.
On the day of departure, the three got up early. When Xiaodong dragged the box out of the room, his mother had put the hot steamed bread on the table, and his father was sitting on the sofa watching TV, looking very leisurely.
"Dad, why do you like watching TV so much as soon as you get home?"
"It's not that you don't know where your father stays, not to mention the TV station. There is no signal on the ordinary telephone. So he felt cordial as soon as he saw TV. " Mom said.
"Yes, Dad, I'm looking for the feeling of modern civilization."
"Dad, how many undiscovered places do you think there are on the earth now?"
"First of all, XiaoDong, the earth is not a dead planet, but a living planet, changing all the time. Even satellites can't detect all the information of the earth. For example, in the depths of the ocean, in a virgin forest, in the mountains with poor geological conditions and so on. So our understanding of nature is far from enough. "
Mother sat at the table, sipping porridge, and urged, "well, let's stop talking." After dinner, it's time for us to start. Come on. We are going to live in Fulin tonight. "
The family sat together, chatting while eating, and there were some news reports on the TV beside them.
"Listen, listen," dad said while watching TV. "Unfortunately, the attached classics in the museum have been lost."
"What's that, Dad?"
"Listen ..."
The announcer's voice continued to float over. "After a preliminary investigation, it was confirmed that it was a personal crime. At present, the police have locked the target and are making every effort to arrest it. At the same time, the relevant personnel of the museum said that after the case occurred, the security department also conducted an internal self-examination to find all security loopholes ... "
"It turned out to be an inside job!" Dad sighed, "damn it! If it is caught, it must be hell to pay. "
"Well, what does this have to do with us? Eat quickly. " Mom said, without looking up.
Yes, at this time, the most important thing for them is to go to road trip, and it will start now. This is a dream that Xiaodong has had since he was a child-to take Xu Xiake's travel route again. However, due to the restrictions of mom and dad's work, they only have one month at most. In order to make full use of this month, Xiaodong did his homework. From the route to the time, from scenic spots to road books, to the local conditions and customs that need to be inspected, he and his parents have discussed in detail before forming the final plan.
Let's go! Sitting in the back of the car, Xu Xiaodong did not forget to imitate the tone of ancient poetry and express his feelings: "A gentleman faces the blue sea, and the sky is dark!" Make mom laugh.
Dad said while driving, "son, do you know what Xu Xiake means?"
"He is announcing that he wants to travel around the world on his own. How handsome! Right, dad? "
"Well, about the same. As for its origin, it should be said that it was the "somersault cloud" taught by Bodhi founder the Monkey King. He said, "Since ancient times, immortals have traveled to Beihai at dusk. The Monkey King asked, "What is the dark North Sea at sunset?" The founder said: All the people who rose from the North Sea in the morning swam across the East China Sea, the West Sea and the South China Sea and returned to Cangwu. In other words, if you can travel all over the world in one day, it is a cloud. Through this sentence, Xu Xiake expressed his ambition to travel around the world like a fairy. However, he didn't just play for fun, but made a lot of contributions to scientific research. "
"Xiaodong, hurry up and take out the book. Your father is going to give you a lesson again. " Mom joked aside.
"Mom, I know all this. My dad doesn't know as much as I do! "
A pleasant trip begins with the laughter of the family and the expectation of the trip. In the next ten days, they set out from Shanxi, passed through Hengshan Mountain and Wutai Mountain, and all the way to Mount Tai.
On this day, the weather was a bit gloomy. According to the plan, they will take the route to the top of Tianzhu Peak. It is said that this road is one of the most primitive mountaineering routes with natural characteristics, and it is also the best route that many people who like to explore will choose. Xiaodong has been longing for it for a long time
All the equipment was ready the night before. At his father's suggestion, Xiaodong checked it again carefully before leaving. Along the way, my father repeatedly emphasized some important mountaineering precautions to Xiaodong and his mother. Finally, my mother summed it up in one sentence: "Don't act without authorization, just listen to my father." Dad nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, Xiaodong has a lot of mountaineering experience, at least more than his mother, which makes him very proud. Moreover, this trip is the first time for a family of three to climb a mountain together for the purpose of investigation, and everyone is a little excited.
As he walked, Dad told Xiaodong about the history of Mount Tai, the animals and plants he cherished, what they might encounter and what they didn't need to look for. Xiaodong is very interested in plants. Sometimes he would stop and ask his father if it was some kind of medicine recorded in the book. If his father can't answer, Xiaodong will take pictures of the plants and keep them for reference at home.
Mom followed her all the way, and she was getting a little bored. No wonder she is a vet. If all the plants on this mountain become animals, I believe she will scream with joy.
The weather is getting gloomy, and few tourists climb mountains. In this weather, we can't see the famous rosy clouds and sea of clouds, but fortunately those scenic spots are not their goals. The mist in front of us feels a bit like a fairyland, which makes people unconsciously relax when walking in it.
Suddenly, a touch of red on the treetops caught her attention. It is a bird with red feathers behind its head, like an open fan. Is it a crested lark? No, the color is wrong. How can it be red? Mother approached the tree quietly with doubts, completely ignoring the road under her feet.
Suddenly, my mother stepped on the empty steps and rushed forward instantly. To make matters worse, there is a steep slope next to it, which is covered with moss, and the humidity is too high on cloudy days, like a slide. Seeing my mother slip on the ground, my father immediately flew over and tried to hold my mother with his bare hands. Because he was too impatient, he forgot his rich experience in field exploration for a while. After some struggle, my mother's pedal stopped sliding on a tree, and my father came to her with rolling and crawling.
After the two stabilized their emotions, dad quickly shouted to Xiaodong above and told him not to move. At this time, their backpacks are still on them. The best way to climb down such a slippery slope is to use a safety rope, otherwise you will fall to the bottom of the mountain carelessly.
Dad shouted to Xiaodong, "Take out the safety rope in the backpack and tie it to a tree near us to find a thicker tree." Remember how to do it? "
"I remember, don't worry! I'll tie it! " Xiaodong quickly opened his backpack.
"Be careful!" Mother cried and shouted.
Xiaodong told himself to be calm. He recalled how his father taught him to operate the safety rope. After binding, he installed a self-locking device.
"Well, I'm going to throw it down!"
"Well, you try, don't get too close!" Dad shouted.
Xiaodong tried to find out his parents' direction, counted "one, two, three" in his mind, and then threw the rope out hard.
"Did you catch it?" He asked.
"I caught it!" Dad replied.
Xiaodong was relieved and took two steps back.
After a while, mother climbed up. Because the rope can't bear the weight of two people at the same time, and there is only one seat belt, so my father fixed my mother and let her climb up first. Then, mother threw the rope to him again.
This little accident gave the three of us a feeling of surviving. The three of us didn't hug each other in many languages.
After that, mom and dad simply treated the wound on their hands and decided to go back to the hotel to rest. On the way, mentioning the thrilling scene at that time, they unanimously praised Xiaodong's calmness and courage. And my mother has repeatedly promised that she will not be distracted in the future.
Late at night.
Xiaodong, who is sleeping, feels something cool on his chest and keeps patting himself. He opened his eyes, and a sharp head was facing him, which scared him to sit up and almost let out a scream of "Ah".
He breathed a sigh of relief when he tried to see a turtle struggling on his back on the quilt. Where did the tortoise come from? Xiaodong turned it upside down strangely, but the light in the room was so dim that it was good to see that it was a turtle.
"Hey, Xiaodong, it's me, it's me!"
"You? Are you a little turtle? " Xiaodong asked in surprise. He is almost certain that it is it.
"Yes, it's me. I came to see you for something. Let's talk outside. "
"Is it okay in the toilet?"
"... all right. "
Xiaodong crept out of bed, and his parents on the bed next to him were sleeping soundly. He picked up the little turtle, which has grown very big now, and walked gently into the toilet, not forgetting to lock the door.
"Hey, little turtle, where have you been these two years?"
"I have been in the monster world. We'll talk later. I have something urgent to come to you. "
"What is it?"
"Someone wants to enter osawa, Yun Qi, as if looking for some treasure. The information that Director Ding knows is also obtained from Ding Ende. By the way, he was kidnapped. "
"who?"
"Ding Ende ah, should be related to his research. The monster world needs several human spies now. Director Ding recommended you and Chen Qian. I don't think you will shirk your responsibility? "
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, you mean human spies? I only know that there are monster spies! "
"Yes, human spy, new career, cool, interested?"
"Of course, I read so many detective stories for nothing." Xiaodong said proudly.
"This is not an ordinary trip or adventure, this is the real danger, XiaoDong. It's not just as simple as sliding down the hillside and falling, but also climbing up. "
"Of course I know the danger. Wait a minute. What you just said ... how do you know? "
"Xiaohong told me that it followed you all the way, and you ignored it. Finally, your mother found it. In other words, it's really hard to find you! "
"Too much!" Xiaodong is really angry this time.
"Well, well, I apologize. I haven't seen you for two years, and you are still so brave!"
"It's braver! You flatter less, it's useless! "
"I'll pay attention to it next time. Let's go. "
Xiaodong glanced at the door and nodded.
The little turtle read Xiaodong's mind and said, "You forget that no matter how long you stay in the monster world, when you return to the real world, they won't feel anything, just like nothing happened."
I know, but where are we going this time?
The little turtle looked at Xiaodong's puzzled and expectant eyes and turned to look at the open toilet.
