Author: Joe Mai MACHINE TRANSLATION
Ru Yu and Lei Zhenyu rested in the small town for a night before continuing their journey to their destination the next day. Of course, they slept on the recliner in the car last night because Lei Zhenyu insisted on not going to his house.
The recliner in the car was very uncomfortable. Ru Yu felt her back ache the next day. Lei Zhenyu joked that she did not sleep on the recliner but was doted on by him.
She was so angry that she glared at him. As a result, he laughed proudly. He started the car while laughing and drove towards the direction of the desert.
On the way, he could see a particularly eye-catching big tree growing there from time to time. This kind of strange-looking short and fat tree was the world-famous Baobab, which was directly translated as the “b.o.o.bab Tree” , commonly known as the “Baobab Tree” . The trunk of the Baobab Tree had all kinds of strange looks, similar to the roots of the tree. From Afar, it looked like a tree growing upside down.
Lei Zhenyu did not know much about this kind of tree, so he asked Ru Yu, what kind of tree was this?
Ru Yu told him, “this is the Baobab tree, and the Baobab tree can be called the “longevity tree” in the plant kingdom. It can live for 4,000 to 5,000 years. “. It had an extremely strong ability to adapt to the environment. Although the trunk of the Baobab Tree was very thick, its texture was very loose. These loose holes on the tall and strong trunk could store a lot of rain water, and the body was acting as a water absorbent instead of the roots. The water stored in the trunk could maintain the growth and development of the Baobab tree throughout the year. When people who worked or traveled on the tropical gra.s.slands were thirsty, as long as they found the Baobab tree, they could drink water from its body to their heart’s content. For this reason, people called it the “tree of life. “. After the Baobab tree absorbed enough water, it would grow new leaves, which were palm-shaped compound leaves. At this time, the branches and leaves were luxuriant, and very large white flowers bloomed.
As for the Baobab Tree’s function, well, there was a joke once heard. In Angola, someone said that a man only needed to spend two hours to plant twelve Baobab trees, and he would be considered to have completed his mission to the next generation Because the fruits of twelve Baobab trees were enough to feed a person for a year.
Lei Zhenyu could not help but laugh when he heard ru Yu’s words. He said, “well, don’t tell me that people only need to eat until they are full and don’t need to wear warm clothes? But if you want to wear warm clothes, you need clothes. Don’t you need money to buy clothes? ”
Ru Yu said plainly that the climate in Africa was very hot all year round. People did not need to wear clothes at all. Moreover, didn’t you see that the children in the countryside were all naked They could not wear them even when they were older. They could just cover them with leaves and bark.
Alright, Lei Zhenyu admitted that in this aspect, the demand of the people in Angola was really very low. It turned out that it was so easy for them to eat their fill and wear warm clothes. Moreover, besides the Baobab tree, they also had the cashew tree.
No wonder ru Yu said that Angolans had a high happiness index. With such a simple demand, people naturally did not have much pressure, and those who did not have pressure would naturally lead extremely happy lives. How could happy people not be happy?
Driving all the way, they finally arrived at the southern part of Angola in the afternoon. It was a village five kilometers away from the Namib Desert. There were very few people living here, and there were not many families.
Moreover, due to the heat, there were really adults who were wrapped in tree leaves and Bark, especially girls. Some of them did not even cover the top, but only used the bark to cover the bottom.
When they saw Lei Zhenyu, they were unusually excited and chased after him. Lei Zhenyu was so scared that he ran as fast as he could. However, he did not understand Portuguese and did not know what the girls were shouting about.
