Chapter 245 - 245 238 Specimens in the Natural History

?Chapter 245: Chapter 238 Specimens in the Natural History Museum Chapter 245: Chapter 238 Specimens in the Natural History Museum In the car, on the back seat, Zheng Tan sat with the two kids, listening to Jiao Yuan incessantly talking about the time he went with Mr. Jiao to the fieldwork base. Having scored well on his final exams, Jiao Yuan spoke with newfound confidence, and the oppressive atmosphere that had surrounded him before the exams had finally completely dissipated.

Actually, Jiao Yuan was still young back then. Even if he had seen many things at the time, recalling them now, he might not remember much clearly, after all, his capacity to comprehend was limited at the time, and he didn’t know much. He was only fixated on running around and playing everywhere. What linked his memories were essentially a set of photos taken back then and several specimens he made under Mr. Jiao’s guidance.

Among the specimens were plants and insects, but since those were inconvenient to carry, he left them all at home and brought only a photo album. That single album was enough to keep Jiao Yuan talking non-stop.

It took roughly seven hours to drive from Chuhua City to the fieldwork base, so Mr. Jiao and Jiao Ma took turns driving to avoid fatigue. The group stopped midway for a short rest to let the students use the restroom. As for those who got carsick, they suffered, looking deathly pale. Fortunately, the experienced teachers leading the trip had not only brought plastic bags but also prepared some medicine.

When Zheng Tan woke up from a nap, he glanced out the car window and saw many mountains around. Beside him, Jiao Yuan and Little Youzi were studying a map, holding a small flashlight in their hands. Sometimes when driving through tunnels, he would turn on the flashlight, simply indulging in the thrill. They were already very close to the fieldwork base Mr. Jiao had mentioned.

The so-called field training was primarily intended to let students who had just finished their first year of college get a glimpse of the outdoors and be close to nature. Their first-year courses included botany and zoology, and some majors even touched on ecology. The field trip allowed them to personally experience identifying various plants and animals. Naturally, it wasn’t purely for fun; the students who participated in the fieldwork had to write a report afterward.

For Jiao Yuan and Little Youzi, this was essentially like spending summer vacation. It was for Zheng Tan as well.

Walking around the campus of Chuhua University, although the landscaping was excellent and the campus was large compared to other universities nationwide, in the grand scheme of things, it was still just a small place. Zheng Tan had also had his share of wanderings, but the places he visited then weren’t as mountainous. The feeling between mountainous and plain regions is always different, as is the sensation between roaming and vacationing.
