?Chapter 246: Chapter 239 The Cat in the Night Chapter 246: Chapter 239 The Cat in the Night On the third day after reaching the field study base, the already grouped students followed their respective group leaders and left the base.
The Jiao family of four went with one of the groups. The two group leaders had a good relationship with Mr. Jiao and chatted about their previous experience leading groups as they walked into the mountains and forest.
For the field trip, everyone wore long-sleeve shirts and pants suited for mountain climbing, along with sun hats. There were a lot of insects and mosquitoes in the mountain forests—don’t think it isn’t a big deal in the daytime; once you enter the forest, you’ll understand just how formidable those mosquitoes can be. Therefore, the students all carried repellents like mosquito coils, menthol oil, and other anti-mosquito medications in their bags.
Zheng Tan didn’t find it bothersome. For one, his fur served as a layer of protection, and secondly, he was used to it. He would often dash through forests and found it wasn’t a big deal. Wearing additional protective gear felt more cumbersome.
The group leader explained various plants to the students as they walked and collected samples of those deemed worthy of making specimens. They gathered them to create specimens later. As for the plants they commonly saw in Chuhua City, they didn’t bother collecting them.
On their first day of field practice, the group leader didn’t plan on taking the students to a remote area immediately but walked along the winding mountain road instead. The cement road was well-built, mainly for tourist use. As they got farther from populated areas, they hardly saw any vehicles, but occasionally a crab would audaciously sit in the middle of the road. It’s like how some people block the path arrogantly, although there were no cars here, just a lot of people.
Every time they saw a crab on the road, the students, with the excitement akin to having injected chicken blood, would charge with their bottles in hand. Jiao Yuan didn’t need to catch them by hand; he just placed the wide-mouthed jar in front of a fleeing crab and waited for it to crawl inside. However, the cunning and quicker crabs weren’t as easy to catch. Sometimes, if you weren’t paying attention, they would slip down the slope and into the stream below before you knew it.
