Chapter 129 Riding an Elephant

Under the leadership of the frog man, they finally walked out of this area full of alien insects and saw that the path stepped on by someone was already evening. They quickly walked out of the mountain and went all the way to a small town outside the mountain.

A group of people walked along the street, at the entrance of a small shop on the roadside. The steamer was steaming. It was a shop selling local steamed buns. I have heard that you must eat steamed buns in Nepal for a long time, and everyone did not hesitate to enter this dark-looking shop.

I asked for a few vegetable steamed buns. After a Nepalese young man brought them up, everyone found that they were steamed dumplings, but they looked like vegetarian steamed buns. In the steamer at the door is beef buns, which are in the shape of steamed buns. Although it is a local specialty, it tastes average and is not as delicious as Chinese dumplings.

I was eating, and it was pouring heavily outside. After the shower, the rain flooded the road. Has this town been flooded all the time? Nepal's unique architectural skyline and color are followed by heavy dark clouds. After the rain, the air is moist and fresh, and occasionally a few crows fly over the gaps between houses.

Walking on the wet street, several people saw several benches at the door of the bakery and decided to take a nap. Xiaopei went in and bought some bread and gave them to everyone. After eating, he sat by the roadside and ate it. Next to him, a Nepalese girl was also eating bread.

When she saw Xiaopei sitting beside her, she asked her name. Xiaopei told her. Later, she asked where Xiaopei came from. Xiaopei said that she came from China, and everyone was surprised that the little girl was so generous.

Then she said, "An aunt bought me this bread. What are you going to buy for me?" Everyone was surprised that he turned out to be a beggar, and this way of begging was very smart. She said, "Go to the store and buy me a chocolate." Seeing that Xiaopei was silent, she had been repeating her request. Finally, Xiaope finished eating the bread and said to her, "You are very greedy. You want the next one before you finish the bread in your hand."

Everyone found a hotel to stay in. Zhong Yueming and Liu Peng wanted to find a place to dry their clothes, so they ran to the roof and found a surprise. There is a very beautiful roof garden on the roof, with tables and chairs similar to cafes for people to rest. When I got to the roof, I found that most of the houses here had roof gardens and were planted with flowers and plants, which were well arranged.

There are two rooms and a kitchen on the roof. Next to the kitchen, there is a rotating staircase leading to the roof of the kitchen. There is a water tower and solar panels on the rooftop. They climbed to the rooftop of the kitchen and wanted to see the town from a high place. Because it was evening, crows flew by from time to time, and the clouds floated leisurely over this strange town. It feels so good here!

It feels really good to sit on this roof and watch the scenery. Zhong Yueming remembered seeing an illustration in high school. The girl sat on the roof and looked at the sky, with a staggered house under her feet. He thought it was Turkey, but he saw the scenery in the painting here.

Zhou Xirui chatted with the hotel owner and heard that he could take elephants to the forest to play in Chichiwang National Park. After returning to the room to discuss with everyone, everyone decided to go to the park the next day.

The next morning, everyone chartered a car and went there. The driver from afar pointed to the front: "The place where there is cooking smoke is the elephant village." There is no doubt about the role of the forest on human beings. Being able to ride an elephant into the forest of Chidawang, Nepal, is an extremely rare experience in life. Everyone is extremely excited.

After entering the elephant village, everyone found that there were more than 30 elephants living here. What excites the staff of the elephant village most is that under their careful care, a female elephant gave birth to twins. Elephants are the largest mammal on land. They generally live about 80 years and have a long pregnancy. It takes nearly two years to give birth to one at a time. It's not easy. And the female elephant they took care of gave birth to twins. They talk to everyone, so all the tourists who come here don't know.

Elephants always walk in the jungle, and their feet are more vulnerable to injury. There is an animal protection volunteer from Canada in the elephant village. She is nearly 50 years old. Zhou Xirui heard her say that she came to Nepal alone and admired her bravery and love.

When everyone saw her, she was treating the elephant's foot disease. It was extraordinary to treat the elephant's foot disease. First, you have to let the elephant lie down, put its foot out, hold its tail, and then use a sickle and steel file to pedicure the elephant. This volunteer is not easy. Fortunately, this elephant understands that people are relieving its pain, so it is very cooperative. Whether it is a sickle or a steel file, they cooperate obediently.

Volunteers told Zhou Xirui, who helped while working: "There are also elephants in the forest park in South Africa, but African elephants are not as gentle and violent as Asian elephants. If they are angry, they can knock over the car, but Asian elephants are docile and have a good relationship with people. Of course, this has something to do with Nepalese's always caring for elephants, and the relationship between animals and humans is so harmonious.

After paying, the elephant husband put a thick cushion on the elephant's back and tied a wooden shelf like an inverted kang table. Zhou Xirui and others can ride it. Although there is only one belt tied to the elephant, the wooden shelf is very strong, and the mat is very thick and soft, which is much more comfortable than riding and riding camels. There are eight people plus elephant husband. In fact, Dimo can't be counted, because he has to stay in the backpack, but they still have to have two elephants.

After entering the forest, you enter another world of wonders. The trees, vines and grass are very different from artificial planting. Everything around is quiet, only the chirping of birds and the footsteps of elephants walking in the forest. That feeling is really strange! Surprise, joy, and a little fear, I don't know what I can see in front of me.

The most precious wildlife in the Chiwang Forest is the one-horned rhinoceros, as well as the Bengal tiger! It's actually a risky thing to enter this virgin forest, but the journey becomes quite interesting to ride an elephant to achieve this adventure.

There is no road in such a forest. It should be a road that no one has walked. In fact, there is also a road in the forest, but it is completely the road walked by elephants! But I don't know what elephants rely on to identify roads.

When everyone was in close contact with the elephant they rode on the elephant's back, they found that the elephant was also very character. The elephant they rode walking and found some kind of vine wrapped around the tree. It was his favorite to eat, so he must stop, roll it up, pull it off, and eat it. Originally, it would eat some breakfast and snacks. It's a small thing.

But its powerful nose rolled up the rattan, and even the winding trunk was pulled and shaken hard. Wow, on its back, it could not take care of it. At this time, those sharp branches were easy to scratch everyone. At this time, the elephant husband used a small stick to block the branches for everyone.

People often explore in the jungle and are not unfamiliar with trees, but the trees here are really seen for the first time. They are fluffy and gathered into a ball, like wigs worn by princes and nobles in history. They have never seen such strange plants! Zhou Xirui felt really good while walking on the elephant and looking at these strange trees.

What I saw here is both sides of the path that the elephant has walked through. I don't know whether it is a flower or a red fruit. In short, I have never seen it, stretching out to the sun.

The trees on the edge of the forest are not too dense, and the ground is easy to walk. The more you go in, the denser the trees are and the more rugged the ground is. Fortunately, the elephants move slowly. Seeing the pond in the forest, the elephant husband said that this is the place where wild animals drink water, and it is the easiest to see them. Everyone wanted to see the Bengal tiger and the unicorn rhinoceros, but the elephant husband seriously told everyone that the tiger was sleeping and the rhinoceros went to the store. Everyone laughed!
