Entertainment starts with travel

Chapter 247 Ye Sang
The visibly widened view.

The river meanders, and the road is on this side of the river. Ye Kai and the others drove on this road leading to the wetland. On the right is a large forest, and the fragrance of unknown wild flowers wafts from the forest.

And across the river, on the other side of the river is also a road leading to the wetland, but this is a railway.

The old-fashioned iron train shouted the chant of Kuangci Kuangci, and the smoke wafted from the chimney of the train.

This kind of train is rarely seen in China, but I didn't expect to meet it in the island country. Taking this kind of train can open the windows around you without any scruples.

Sometimes it is to do business with the hawkers at the train station, selling snacks or something.But here, the biggest advantage of opening the windows is to breathe the pure fresh air here.

This kind of train is very slow, just enough to feel the beauty of the national park during the long journey.

Ye Kai remembered that there was a similar railway line in China.

Hokkaido is one of the four major islands of the island country, but it only occupies 5.00% of the country's total population. It is an island famous for its nature and wild animals.

After driving with the small island of Ami for a long time, the river was hidden in the surrounding woods and could not be seen.

On the road, you can see the shattered ice formed by the condensation of rainwater, which makes a crackling sound after being crushed by the car, and the ice on the edge of the road cannot be crushed by the vehicle.

It looks thick.

In such a cold weather, the surrounding trees have become bald, leaving bare, tall trunks, and some trees still have snow on the crowns, but this is summer.

Does it often snow here?

Forget the seasons, there is a magical vibe here.

Ye Kai felt that he was traveling through the world of Narnia.

Kojima Ami's car parked in an open area in the forest. There is a house here. The architectural style of the house is not Japanese style, but European style. It is a cabin in the forest that is often seen in American dramas.

There are some tools for daily use outside the house, and two cars are parked in the yard.

When getting out of the car, Ye Kai saw the snow on the roof, and remembered what he saw on the road before, the snow on the canopy of the trees, so he asked, "Does it often snow here?"

Kojima Ami did not expect Ye Kai to pay attention to the snow first.

"Yes, the weather here is like this. There is snow all year round, and there are only two seasons, winter and summer, and summer is very short."

"So is it summer or winter?"

"Summer is taking over from winter now. There was a light snowfall a few days ago, and the air is just right." Kojima Ami walked a few steps towards the house, "This is where I work."

In fact, it’s no different from a home, not to mention working, living here for the rest of your life is no problem.

If Ye Kai plans to find a place to live permanently one day, the scene he wants to see at that time is no different from here, but the weather is better.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter are the most important things to have. In spring, you can see the green shoots of plants and trees, in summer, you can hear birds and cicadas, in autumn, you can see red leaves falling, and in winter, you can see white snow covering the branches.

Cicadas in summer and snow in winter are all wonderful scenery.

There is a bridge not far away, and under the bridge is a stream, or are there two lakes here?The place where the two lakes connect is the location of the bridge because it is the narrowest.

Like an hourglass.

"I'll look around."

Kojima Ami nodded. She originally invited Ye Kai to come and play, so she would not restrict Ye Kai's actions, but she still reminded: "This is a wetland swamp, there are many wild animals, please pay more attention."

"It's okay." Ye Kai said.

He is not afraid of wild animals, but rather insects such as leeches, mosquitoes, and spiders. These animals have no brains, and Ye Kai's cheats will not work on them.

It's also best not to play any role, Ye Kai dare not imagine the picture of a large group of mosquitoes surrounding him.

Ant-man and so on are only in movies, Ye Kai doesn't want to be an ant-man, as for 'mosquito-man'...

That's even more terrifying.

Ye Kai walked towards the bridge, and Kojima Ami's voice came from behind: "Ye Sang, is there anything you can't eat? I'm going to make dinner!"

Turning around, Ye Kai said loudly: "No!"

He is a person who can eat even African snacks. After all, the food of the island country is better than the food of Africa, right?It’s been a day since I came to the island country, and everything I’ve eaten tastes like Ye Kai.

The wind was strong by the bridge, Ye Kai tugged on his collar.

There are many trees here, most of which are cherry trees. This kind of tree is relatively cold-resistant and suitable for planting in Hokkaido, but the leaves bloomed a few months late, and the cherry blossoms in full bloom were not seen.

The two pools here are not lake water, they are very shallow.

Some grasses protrude from the water, most of them are no more than [-] centimeters, and in the distance are some birds, to be precise, cranes, which is what Ye Kai wanted to see on this trip.

right here?

Ye Kai thought that he had to go far into the mountains and old forests to see red-crowned cranes, but he didn't expect that there were so many red-crowned cranes right in front of Yami's house on the small island. They stepped on the water and looked for food gracefully.

Why did people in ancient China have so many fantasies about red-crowned cranes, and even associated this bird with immortals?
It is because of the graceful posture of this bird.

The body of a bird has always had nothing to do with straightness, but always has its butt raised high behind its tail, like an ostrich.Or without a neck, like a sparrow.

But when the red-crowned crane stands up, it feels tall and straight.

The high head is like a proud person, and the expression in the sharp eyes is comparable to that of a human being, shining with the light of wisdom.

Most of them are white, the tail feathers of the wings and the neck are black in some places, and there is a small piece of red on the top of the head, which is also the source of the name of the red-crowned crane.

In western countries, the red-crowned crane's name is Grus japonensis.

Translated into Chinese, this word means the island country crane.

In China, the red-crowned crane is a top-notch totem. Officials in the Ming and Qing Dynasties wore the official pattern of "Flying Birds and Beasts".

When the West named this bird, China was still implementing a closed-door policy. Westerners could only know China from Guangzhou and the island country from Nagasaki.

The red-crowned cranes migrate southward from the northeast of China without passing through the south of China, but use the island countries of Kyushu and Honshu as wintering places.Therefore, Westerners can only see this animal through the island country as a window.

Name it "Island Crane".

It has to be said that this is a very regrettable thing. This is Huaxia's "Crane", but the most widely spread name in the West has nothing to do with Huaxia.

Ye Kai groped up and down for a while, only to find that the mobile phone and camera were all in the car, so he hurried back to look for the camera.

Kojima Ami came out with a basin to pour water, saw Ye Kai's hurried figure and asked suspiciously: "Ye Sang? What's wrong?"

"There are a lot of red-crowned cranes over there, I'm going to get the camera..."

"It's dead inside... I was very excited to see these birds for the first time. Ye Sang is indeed the same person as me, but don't worry, it's the best time to take pictures tomorrow morning."

Kojima Ami has lived here for a long time, so she must have a better understanding of red-crowned cranes than Ye Kai.

She said morning is the best time to shoot, and Ye Kai believed it.

But it doesn't affect me at all to take a few shots today. If I don't need them at that time, I can save them. Anyway, photography is a photographer's game alone.

Playing games, the most important thing is to have fun.
