Chapter 329: A Week of Eating and Sleeping Rough

(9) A week of camping

I didn't even think about advertising the squirrel's words again.

Mom told me to shut up and stop talking stupid things like animals.

But the horseman said, "There must be rain, and I don't know if there is thunder." We chose to camp on the top of the hill today to hide from the rain. Since the child said so, everyone should dig the drainage ditch outside the tent a little deeper, so as not to get into the water and sleep badly.

We collected all the dried pine needles that had fallen on the ground around us and put them on the ground, and then spread the bedding on them, and the nerves on the thick pine needles soon relaxed, and by the time the thunder began to hit at midnight, I had already slept well.

The lightning and thunder were extremely powerful on the top of the mountain, and after a flash of blue light, not far from my tent, the crown of a tall green tree caught fire, reflecting the fire all around. The adults woke up and began to get dressed. Some of them are out of the tent.

The rain fell at this moment, and the fire in the canopy was immediately extinguished, and the people outside the tent rushed back immediately but were soaked.

When the siblings woke up the next day, it was already sunny, and they found a large charred tree stump, saying that they didn't seem to have seen a black tree yesterday!

During the week of sleeping in the open air, I sweated for a while, the cold wind swished for a while, the mountain road was steep, the uphill was better, and when I went downhill, I was always worried that the horse would slip and fall. Finally, there was a slightly flat road, and I had to be careful that the branches on the side of the road scratched my face. The off-the-beaten-path landscapes, with its snow-capped mountains, glaciers, forests, meadows, alpine lakes, rivers and wetlands, present a surprising harmony and tranquility that recalls an ancient time.

On the evening of the seventh day, I also camped on the top of the mountain, and there were so many stars in the sky, all blinking or moving slowly, that I felt as if I could reach out and take them off.

When you sit on horseback, you can see the matchbox-like house at the foot of the mountain. That's where we're going to start the new semester, and there's a bus out of town every week. In the future, there is no need to sleep with the horse gang to eat in the open.

I thought that the place where I could see would be soon, but I ended up walking around the hillside for a whole day, and it was not until late at night that I arrived at the town where I had finished elementary school and junior high school.
