The Return of Gratitude Volume 2

Archer hung a "Closed Business" sign on the gate, and the white Ford Conqueror was parked by the side of the road. Qin Xiu was flipping through the English version of "Great Legacy" magazine in the passenger seat, and the door beside him was opened. Curly sat up and glanced at the beautiful or magnificent scenery in the magazine, and the magazine features in Gaoda, a little unsure: "Can you really find a suitable location in the city? Or are you going to try to shoot humanities?"

Qin Xiu closed the magazine and turned on the voice navigation: "Uptown." The GPS navigation started to automatically find the way. Qin Xiu folded his arms and lowered his head and closed his eyes to rest, "Call me when you get to Shangcheng."

When the car was started, a small sparrow flew away from the roof of the car, and its flapping wings brushed a flashing shadow on the windshield. Archer glanced sideways at Qin Xiu's side face which flickered in the sun, I just feel infinitely beautiful.He is neither vicious nor domineering. Although he had an iceberg sleeping appearance when he just closed his eyes, the image of the iceberg could not be stretched when he was asleep, and he became a cute cat in the blink of an eye.

"13XX5201314, tsk tsk, thank you for thinking it out." The young dog put his hands on the steering wheel, his ears shrugged happily.Every time he thinks of Qin Xiu engraving words on the palm of his hand, and poking hard as if he was afraid that the writing will not be clear, he finds it ridiculous as hell.

Beep—the car behind honked its horn impatiently, Shen Che recovered and found that the red light had turned green, so he hurriedly started the car.

He thought he was going to the suburbs of Shangcheng District, but he didn't expect that Qin Xiu asked him to drive the car into the commercial area. The car was parked in the underground garage of a certain commercial building, and the two of them walked on foot in the metropolis full of high-rise buildings with various equipment on their backs. Here, walk across the stone bridge over the canal, pass under the whistling light rail, and walk along the long red brick wall...

"Here we are." Qin Xiu pushed aside the overgrown weeds and shrubs, and stopped.

Archer looked up, unable to believe what he saw——

What a wasteland!

It should not be said to be a wasteland, with chirping birds, fragrant soil, and the faint sound of water slapping. There is a crooked iron sign under your feet, which has been enthusiastically covered by green leaves.

In the middle of the downtown area, there is such a large wasteland full of vitality. Just as far as the eye can see, it is as big as a football field. It is hard to imagine how wide the unseen area behind the lush trees is. confidence.

"This was a golf course many years ago, but it was abandoned later, and it has been so deserted." Qin Xiu took a good shot, turned around and smiled, "Let's go, let you see my great heritage."

A high-spirited smile imprinted in Archer's eyes. He looked at the back of the front who couldn't wait to start exploring, and smiled knowingly. By the way, this is you. You stood at a height of less than 300 meters when you were a child. The guy who pointed his sword at the highest peak in the world on the mountain behind the school.

I heard from Qin Xiu that this wasteland has been vacant for nearly ten years. Although the reason is unknown, nature quickly regained the lost land in the past ten years. in the jungle.

Archer looked around while walking, and suddenly found green dots moving around his feet. He thought it was green bugs, but when he squatted down, it turned out to be a group of ants, and each ant carried a piece of broken leaf. If the leaves are too big, carry two or three together. Ants are very hardworking creatures, and they will not be idle all the time.Archer remembered that in Spirit Dog Town, when no one was playing with him, he would lie behind the house and watch the ants move. Sometimes a small ant encountered a puddle that he couldn't get around, so he would put his paws in the water. Let the little ants crawl over his paws. At that time, he was not much bigger than Teacher He Lan's shoes, but he felt that he could help the weak, and he was very strong.

Archer looked at the ants in a daze, and suddenly noticed that an ant was walking with great difficulty carrying a broken leaf on its back. When he took a closer look, there was an ant hanging on the broken leaf to hitch a ride!Archer knelt down and carefully lifted the hitchhiking ant off, found a leaf and let it carry it: "You are too lazy."

There was a shutter sound from behind, Archer turned his head when he heard the sound, Qin Xiu put away the camera, and only said, "Tell me what you see looks good."

"I'm an amateur." Archer patted his pants and stood up.

Qin Xiu walked in front and said: "This is called a dog seeing the world with different eyes..." Halfway through the speech, he felt a vicious dog staring at him behind him, cleared his throat and turned his head to coax him with a few "sticky ghosts" , suddenly saw Shen Che holding his head and jumping: "Wow, what jumped on my head?!"

"do not move!"

Archer hadn't figured out what was going on, but when Qin Xiu yelled, he thought it was a snake and stopped quickly. He opened his eyes wide and didn't dare to move, but saw Qin Xiu raised the camera in his direction and took continuous pictures.

Behind him was the sound of puff puff puff, sputtering and diarrhea as disgusting as eating too much diarrhea, as if there were frogs jumping on his head, and when the sound of diarrhea died down, he raised his eyebrows suspiciously: "What are you doing?" What?"

Qin Xiu squatted down and picked up a small wet brown pea on the ground: "This is called a melon, and it will spray out the seeds when it is ripe."

Archer felt a little upset when he saw the melon seeds flying on Qin Xiu's photo and smashed it on his curly forehead: "You want to send this kind of photo to the competition?"

"How come, I just find it interesting." Qin Xiu turned and left after speaking.

You are not the one being sprayed, of course you find it interesting!

"puff!!"

"Ah! And!!" Qin Xiu turned around lightning like a sharpshooter, and Archer followed suit to look back.

Two minutes later, Archer looked at himself who had been sprayed with melon juice in the photo, and his face was a bit vicious.Aren't you a photographer, why do you always take such obscene pictures of me? !

The wasteland is very large, and there is an illusion of trekking on a deserted island after going deep into the hinterland.Archer found an abandoned hut, "Zhi Ya" pushed the door open, golden sunlight poured down from the skylight of the hut, shining on the blooming flowers in the room, like a wild flower house, with a white snail lying on the window Drinking water while basking in the sun on the glass, a dewdrop the size of a thumb on the glass is enough for it to drink for a long time, Archer wanted to ask Qin Xiu to take a look, but when he turned around, he found that Qin Xiu was gone. Among the banyan trees hugging each other, I found Qin Xiu who was looking up and taking pictures.

"Why is this tree empty?" The curly-haired young man followed in surprise.Surrounded by banyan tree trunks, I didn't expect there to be such a large open space in the center, and the space is quite high.

"There used to be a big tree here that was parasitized," Qin Xiu patted the trunk of the surrounding banyan tree, raised his head and said, "These banyan trees parasitized on the trunk of the host, and after the host died, the tree core rotted and became empty. , leaving a central clearing, and it looks like the tree must have grown quite tall before it died."

Archer stood in the middle of the tree and looked up. The sunlight penetrated through the gaps in the leaves, and it looked like the kind of holy light shed from the top of the church.

"Speaking of the church, it's nothing." Qin Xiu threw a bag of biscuits to him, and the two of them settled it so simply at noon, "When will I take you to Sequoia National Park, where the oldest sequoia has grown Thousands of years old, people standing under those giant trees feel like ants on the giant's boots, and the tallest giant cedars are all above the clouds and mist." Qin Xiu said, with a blurred yearning in his eyes, "Gothic The reason why the churches have high spires is to awe the believers, but after seeing these giant sequoias, you will feel that Cologne Cathedral and Chartres Cathedral are nothing."

Archer was aroused by Qin Xiu's words: "Do you have any photos?"

Qin Xiu bit the biscuit and paused, "...I haven't been there yet."

Archer looked at Qin Xiu, who looked like a shy squirrel holding a biscuit bag in both hands, and felt a little funny.But it is enough to have your phrase "I will take you there", because I know you are not just talking.

After the two of them finished eating and cleaned up the garbage, they stepped out of the tree. Qin Xiu suddenly raised his index finger in a gesture of silence. After listening carefully for two seconds, he immediately jumped out like a rabbit, "Quick! It looks like a raccoon!"

They didn't find the raccoon family, but were surprised to find a fox with a golden fox tail swinging through the grass. Qin Xiu followed behind the fox with a camera in his hand. The cat is dead, but unfortunately it is still lost.

Qin Xiu straightened up and was a little frustrated when he was patted on the shoulder. The curly-haired youth raised his dog ears and whispered, "This way."

Tiptoing through the grass and walking deep, the sound of pattering water was getting closer and closer. Following the direction Shen Che led the way, Qin Xiu saw the little golden fox drinking water by the pond, and couldn't help but Surprised, I squatted down quietly, only showing my head and camera from the grass, and began to wait for the best opportunity.

Archer also squatted aside and looked at the huge pond. Combined with the dense woods on the other side and the lush aquatic plants beside the pond, this place looks like a big swamp in "Animal World".He heard the sound of quacking, and after a while a pair of ducks swam leisurely and affectionately from the other side of the pond, Archer almost peed out laughing, what's going on, are you playing mandarin ducks here?It looks like a couple of ducks who don't know how to escape here.The little fox seemed to be hungry, and stood by the pond looking at the two ducks desperately.

Qin Xiu took a few pictures of the little fox and felt that Shen Che poked him on the back. The curly-haired youth pointed to the opposite bank. Qin Xiu raised his camera and took a closer look. The raccoon family finally appeared!

The wasteland is the paradise for these animals lost in the big city, and the pond is the paradise of paradise, Archer thought.A family of raccoons, a little fox, and a couple of ducks were unexpectedly perfect for him and Qin Xiu who couldn't go to Sequoia National Park, the African savannah, or the Himalayas.

Qin Xiu is completely immersed in the small world of the pond, the raccoon brothers are playing by the water, the little fox is greedily looking at the duck couple who can't eat...he can have enough time to wait for the next beautiful scene , the next one, and the next one.It's been a long time since I've been so hearty, and I really should listen to Shen Che. After thinking about it, I suddenly remembered that he didn't know how long he had been crawling in the grass, and he hadn't heard Shen Che's movement since just now, so he turned around quickly head--

With a few strands of grass, the curly-haired young man lay beside him quietly. There were many mosquitoes by the pond. Qin Xiu watched the curly-haired dog's ears shake twice from time to time to drive away the mosquitoes. Except for Shen Che, he was almost motionless. .

In the past, he and his assistant went to the field to shoot, and every time he was left alone at the end, because he tended to forget the time when he was concentrating. He often rode on trees, crouched in the grass, and squatted in holes all afternoon. The assistant is either complaining or moving around unsettled.Once he was waiting in a tree to photograph slow lorises, and wanted to ask the assistant under the tree to bring up a flashlight, but when he looked down, there was no assistant there, and there were only five words "I'm going back to my hometown" on the ground.

Shen Che, how can you be so quiet?Nothing like a golden retriever at all...

Archer was staring at the distant scenery in a daze, suddenly he was taken aback, and lowered his head in surprise, Qin Xiu's hand was tightly squeezed in his, and then quietly removed.

He looked at Qin Xiu who was engaged in filming again, and wondered what plan Qin Xiu had in mind.Looking up, at the end of the wasteland, there are tall buildings rising from the ground, and the tower cranes are row upon row. Above this quiet pond, they look so unreal, like a mirage.

The sound of construction came intermittently. This wasteland, which has been thriving for ten years, should be coming to an end soon, Archer thought.

As the sun went down, there was a loud explosion in the distance.
