Chapter 167: Mountain Eagle: Fledgling Complex (10)
The day we left Mile and prepared to set off for Manjulong.
Even Uncle Liu, who always prides himself on being a tough guy, couldn't help but shed tears.
Not to mention Wang Shufen, who was crying so hard that her face was all red.
The old couple supported each other and stood by the gate, waving their hands and blinking hard, trying to squeeze out the tears that were surging like a river, so as not to blur their vision and not see the little head of their "good grandson" popping out of the car...
Xiaotuantuan's voice in the navigation had been complaining for a while. It would take more than eight hours to drive from Piankele Village to Manjiulong in the southwest corner, all along the highway.
On the way, we passed the Wild Elephant Valley and the Lancang River. Song Qian was the second one to go back.
The last time I came here was three years ago. I flew directly to the airport there, and Uncle Fang came to pick me up personally on his three-wheeled motorcycle.
The names of the two villages, Piankele and Manjiulong, sound a bit strange, but the local scenery is truly beautiful with clear water and green mountains and outstanding people.
Xiao Tuantuan's voice ended with a rising tone, urging her doubtfully yet humanely—
[Hey, my friend, why don’t you leave? ]
Song Qian was helpless. He put his foot on the accelerator but couldn't press it down no matter what.
Lin Xiaorou couldn't bear to leave, so she cried and hid in her pillow.
Song Qian, a tough guy who sheds blood but not tears, sighed, opened the car door, let Song Zijin get off, and then gave the old couple a good hug.
[Grandpa, grandma, I will come to see you next time I have a holiday! Don’t cry! My eyes hurt! ]
Song Zijin was originally a handsome boy with single eyelids, but when he cried, his eyelids became swollen like a goldfish.
At this moment, the word "handsome boy" can no longer be applied to him.
Half an hour later, the old couple said goodbye and turned back to the house to close the gate. Then Song Qian put force on his feet and slowly stepped on the accelerator pedal.
【Ah——】
It’s too quiet. Except for Xiaotuantuan chattering away, why don’t you guys talk? It’s easy to make me sleepy!
Song Qian was concentrating on driving, while Song Zijin sat blankly on the sofa, staring at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window, not knowing what was going on in his mind.
Lin Xiaorou originally hid herself because she didn't want anyone to see her crying, but she ended up falling asleep without even bothering to cover herself with the quilt.
Song Zijin was tactless. He had been taken care of by everyone since he was a child. Even when he saw his mother sleeping in a spread-eagle position, he didn't even think of helping her put something on her to keep her warm.
As the car headed southwest, the temperature did not change much, basically remaining stable at around 20 degrees.
The sun shines on my body, making me feel warm and lazy.
When driving on a certain section of Kunming-Mozhou Expressway, the navigation suddenly reminded us:
[There are groups of wild elephants in the Wild Elephant Valley Scenic Area ahead, please drive carefully!!!]
【Ah——】
Wild elephants?! I want to see, I want to see!
[Dad, is this the long-nosed elephant we see on TV? ]
Song Zijin, who had been depressed for a long time, also heard Xiao Tuantuan's shouting and quickly ran behind the driver's seat, very excited.
Okay, since both kids want to see elephants, let’s go.
result--
Cars are not allowed to drive in! You have to walk the whole way after entering the park!
Tickets are 61! You can’t interact with the elephants without paying extra!
Active military personnel and children under 1.2 meters tall are free of charge, but this family of three does not qualify!
The Phantom can’t enter, not even if it’s locked in a cage!
【Ah——】
This is pure racial discrimination! Can't I even pay to get in?!
(?“? ?)?“(???︿???)
Song Qian had no choice. The brat Song Zijin just kept pulling at the door and refused to leave.
[Wife, you buy three tickets first, I'll put the Phantom back in the car! Good boy, if I had known I couldn't find a parking space just now, I should have asked you to get off first. Now we have to walk three kilometers back... You two must wait for me at the gate, there are too many people, I'm afraid I won't be able to find you later! ]
Song Qian strode back carrying the cage, and couldn't help curling his lips when passing the park's parking lot.
The sign is so big, the park is so small, and the parking lot is even smaller, just enough to accommodate three or four buses.
So many vehicles from other places only realized they couldn't park when they drove close, and had to look for parking spaces farther away. After all this time, their good mood was ruined.
【Ah——】
The baby was turned away and felt so wronged!
???……
[Okay, Phantom, I'll find you something to eat. You can eat a few bites first. This park is not big. When we get to Fang's house in the evening, I'll give you fresh meat. Be good~]
Song Qian found some rice cakes and meat jerky like he was coaxing a baby, and paired the sweet snacks with the meat.
【Ah——】
Wow, dad is so nice. You guys go and play. I’m full and will wait for you to come back!
Song Qian turned around and went back to the garden, striding quickly and hurriedly, fearing that his wife would get anxious waiting for him.
Song Zijin held the three adult tickets in his hands, and he proudly asked his mother to record a video for him.
Then send it to grandparents——
[Look, Wild Elephant Valley has recognized me as an adult! I am going to see elephants, dear grandpas, grandmas, are you envious? ! ]
Not to mention how the WeChat group of "A Loving Family" would joke about it, the group tourists wearing Little Red Riding Hoods who were constantly coming to the nearby entrance also took selfies when they saw this.
Nowadays, short videos are all the rage around the world. How can the Sunset Red Travel Group, which loves to record their lives and footsteps, not keep up with the pace of the young people? !
[Wife, let’s go, let’s go in too! ]
Song Qian finally arrived, and the three of them stood in a row, 1.3 meters, 1.5 meters, 1.97 meters—
The visual effect is like a ladder that starts off gently but then suddenly rises higher, requiring one to do splits to climb up.
It is eye-catching and enviable.
The young man standing behind Song Qian silently gestured that he was at the height of the other person's back, and bit open a corner of the bag of milk.
Gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp, it’s just growing taller, I’m only eighteen, there’s still room for growth, take calcium, take it hard!!!
The ticket checking passage twists and turns like a colorful snake, wriggling very quickly.
After entering the park, the view suddenly opened up. Apart from the crowds of people, there was a lot of fresh green in front of us.
[Dad, there are other animals in the Wild Elephant Valley. Look, there’s a lizard garden written over there!]
The few times Song Zijin went to the zoo were all with the old man. At that time, he was still very young and was tied to a stroller. He could only make babbling sounds and spit, and he didn't remember anything.
Now that I can run, jump and recognize words, the feeling is naturally different.
The lizard garden is very small, with only a large lizard that is too lazy to move hiding in the crevice of the rocks. It is easy to miss it if you don’t look carefully.
It is highly commercialized. While tourists are still looking for lizards, local people with evenly dark skin come up to sell them.
To be honest, the experience was not very good...Lin Xiaorou took her husband and son and left.
Turning a corner, the elephants also saw it, four of them——
One of them was eating food fed by tourists obediently, and three of them were being led by people, with one or two tourists sitting on their backs.
It costs money to take close photos with elephants, and it also costs money to ride an elephant, ranging from one hundred and fifty to one hundred and eighty yuan.
Feeding is charged separately. You are not allowed to bring your own food. It is provided by the scenic spot and packed in baskets.
Thirty dollars for three dry carrots...
Five carrots and two bananas for eighty...
This, the sky-high seafood in a certain scenic spot is not so outrageously expensive...
With a happy face, Song Zijin had already held the banana handed to her by the staff in her arms and was waiting to line up to feed the elephant.
Song Qian had no choice but to scan the code. This is how it works.
