A Time Travel Effort in the 70s

Chapter 176: Fireflies Found in the Mountains

To be honest, Shen Jiaren herself didn't dare to go into the mountains at night.

After all, the night in the mountains is the time when all nocturnal animals are active. The key point is that nocturnal animals are either carnivores or poisonous animals.

Even if there are a few herbivores occasionally, their ears are so sensitive that they would probably run away before I could react.

But it’s different for carnivores. They will smell the scent of your meat and wait for you to get a fatal blow.

Shen Jiaren looked at the dark mountain, then at the big round moon in the hazy moonlight. Otherwise, forget it. She was also afraid of insects. What if there was an insect that liked to come out at night to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and she disturbed it? What if it bit her accidentally?

But when Shen Jiaren looked back into the yard, she suddenly found that Wangcai was squatting beside her, while Heilang and Heibao were standing behind her. Duoduo was standing with Heilang and Heibao.

When Shen Jiaren looked back and saw this scene, she suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with going up the mountain at night, after all, she had so many guard dogs.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiaren returned to the yard and took the leashes of Black Panther, Black Wolf and Wangcai. After tying them up, Shen Jiaren closed the gate and led them into the mountains.

You don’t have to say it, you really have to say it, the mountains are really different at night. They look pitch black like a giant beast, but when you really walk into the mountains, you will find that they are not as scary as they look.

When Shen Jiaren was really walking on a road often walked by people and saw the moon reflected on the ground, Shen Jiaren realized that she did not bring any lighting tools.

Shen Jiaren originally planned to find a flashlight in the warehouse of the manor, but then she changed her mind and thought, are there flashlights in this era? This idea was stopped abruptly. After all, a flashlight at night, with such a bright light, can be seen from far away at the foot of the mountain. If someone who comes out to use the toilet sees it, it will be really difficult to explain.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiaren took out a hiking stick from the warehouse in the manor. Since there was no way to light a lamp, she could use the stick to throw stones to ask for directions, which was much better than a blind man groping in the dark.

Shen Jiaren walked and knocked, and when she looked over and saw that they had come to a place that looked like a small gentle slope, she removed the leash of Wangcai, Heilang and Heibao.

And gave them three instructions and let them run freely.

But what Shen Jiaren didn't expect was that after the three dogs met, two of them rushed out, leaving the black panther behind. And the black panther was still circling around her.

Shen Jiaren immediately understood why Black Wolf’s trainer told her that these dogs were loyal guard dogs.

Because these dogs think about it when they hear the command and make a decision, and their owners are able to take care of themselves.

Hahahaha, although what I said was a bit inappropriate, when the instructor said it, I was a little bit unbelieving, and even this conversation was obliterated from my memory, but it suddenly appeared at this moment.

No matter what their past lives were like, they have now become their own guard dogs, which is great.

When Shen Jiaren thought of this and looked at the scenery on the mountain, she suddenly remembered the mountain products that Sister Hongmei wanted. It seemed that she wanted raw chestnuts and pine nuts, so she agreed.

But Shen Jiaren stood there, unable to remember when she had promised to deliver the coal briquettes, but she knew that Hongmei's husband, Chang Kai, would come to deliver the coal briquettes to her the next day.

In that case, why don't I work overtime tonight to pick up the things myself? Then Brother Chang Kai can bring them back tomorrow?

When Shen Jiaren thought of this, she found a pair of long gloves from the manor warehouse, put on a backpack, and began to open the manor system interface. She used the manor system's search interface to search for chestnuts, but she didn't know if there were any.

After Shen Jiaren entered chestnuts into the interface, she discovered that there were no chestnuts in a large area around her. The red dot displayed in the search item display was very far away and seemed to be deep in the mountains. When Shen Jiaren saw this, she gave up the idea of ​​picking chestnuts at night.

It’s so deep in the mountains and it’s so late. Even if I can find my way there, I don’t know if I can get home.

Shen Jiaren put the chestnut picking tools she had equipped back into the manor warehouse.

Since she couldn't pick chestnuts and there was nothing else to do, and the dog was still running around in the mountains, Shen Jiaren didn't dare to walk around randomly. She directly found the camping chair she had prepared for camping in the warehouse of the manor and found a camping lamp.

Shen Jiaren dimmed the camping lamp and placed it next to the ground. After placing the camping chair at her feet, Shen Jiaren sat where she had been standing before and began to appreciate the moonlight at night and the sounds of the chirping and chattering of the small animals all over the mountain.

To be honest, when Shen Jiaren was listening to these different animals making different sounds one after another, she couldn't help but wonder, were they chatting?

Are you talking about the strange woman who suddenly showed up in the mountains tonight?

We were still discussing a weird woman who had four dogs, three of which had already run away happily, and no one knew what this weird woman was doing sitting there.

Shen Jiaren was laughing while she was fantasizing, hahahahahahahahahaha, sitting on the hillside with a stool in the middle of the night, she must be either a weird woman or a lunatic.

Hahahaha, the more Shen Jiaren thought about it, the more she felt that she was thinking too much. Before Shen Jiaren could continue thinking about what the animals on the mountain were talking about, she saw green lights flying over from the side.

No, it can't be called green dots, it should be called fluorescent green dots? No, this color, flashing, bright and dark, bright and flashing, this changing color, I really don't know how to describe it with those limited words.

However, Shen Jiaren knew that what came were fireflies.

Although I have never encountered it in real life, I have seen it many times on TV, in variety shows, and in documentaries.

At that time, I was still wondering when I could encounter fireflies, but the ecological environment is not good and the living environment of fireflies is extremely oppressed. If you want to see them, you have to go to a place with a better ecological environment.

However, Shen Jiaren did not expect to see it here, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was reasonable. After all, the trees on this mountain are old, and you can still smell the scent of the forest from the haystacks at the foot of the mountain, which shows that this place is considered to be pristine.

Seeing that the fireflies were about to fly over, Shen Jiaren quickly turned off the camping light.

Because Shen Jiaren didn't know what the fireflies would do if they saw the light, would they go towards it or take a detour?

Shen Jiaren couldn't remember. Maybe it was mentioned in a video she had watched before, or maybe it was written about in a book she had read, but now she couldn't remember any relevant knowledge about fireflies.

So Shen Jiaren could only turn off the lights, sit there quietly, and wait for the fireflies to fly past her.

Maybe God will not let down those who work hard, hahahaha, this wording is a bit exaggerated, or maybe I'm just lucky, just after Shen Jiaren turned off the camping light, fireflies started flying towards me.

Especially after flying over, there were a few of them surrounding him, flying around.

The key point is that when the black panther saw the firefly coming, it straightened up but did not pounce on it. Shen Jiaren laughed. As expected, people or animals who have been trained too much subconsciously will not be curious but more defensive when they see strange things.

Because of the unknown, there is uncertainty, and because of uncertainty, we need to be prepared.

This vigilance is not because you are a firefly, but simply because you have never seen it before, so you are full of caution.

When Shen Jiaren saw this, she became a little concerned and alert, which meant that she could not fully experience the happiness brought by something unknown.

However, if you don't remain alert to all unknown things, you may end up getting hurt or even losing your life.
