My hometown is in a small county surrounded by mountains. When I was a child, every time I went climbing a mountain, I could hear noisy insects and birds singing at the foot of the mountain, so every time it was a pleasant experience.
When you grow up, there will be fewer opportunities to climb mountains. However, every time I travel, my parents and the elderly at home are told in every way: if I meet a hill without insects and birds singing in the wild, I will go home the same way immediately, and remember to put peace first. Asked about their reasons, I just couldn't give a vague answer, but told me hastily: this is the wisdom summed up by the older generation.
At first I thought it was superstition. Later, by asking some old people and combining the experience of real life, I knew the reason.
The reasons why young people are not allowed to go to the "deep mountain without insects and birds" are mostly the following factors:
There are no insects and birds in the deep mountains, which is a terrible sign, reflecting that the mountains in front of us are lifeless. The mountain in front of us may be an undeveloped empty mountain or a relatively primitive deep mountain.
Generally, few people set foot on such mountains, so the road certainly does not exist. It's easy to get lost in such a deep mountain. Neighbor's friends have been to a mountain outside the village to play. The mountain is not big, but because I got lost, I finally mobilized the whole family to look for it all day.
In addition, no one has developed this kind of mountain, so no one outside is familiar with the terrain inside the mountain. It's still flat here, but a few more steps may be a cliff with a big drop or a swamp that crushes people.
This deep mountain terrain is complex and changeable, and no one will tell you that this road is impassable, so it is not only easy to get lost, but also easy to fall and even endanger your life. In addition, the signal base stations in mountainous areas are basically not covered, and electronic equipment is very easy to lose signal, resulting in loss of connection.
On the other hand, deep mountains without insects and birds will lie dormant in many unpredictable dangers. Few insects sing, reflecting that there are not many insects in the mountains, which may be predation by raptors. Don't talk about songbirds, even if there are songbirds, such a deep mountain will be full of all kinds of poisonous snakes and beasts.
Because it is primitive enough and nobody cares about it, animals and plants have enough safe space, just like the inaccessible tropical rain forest, which will become a paradise for many poisonous insects and beasts. Entering such a mountain, you may inadvertently step on poisonous snakes, centipedes, spiders, scorpions, or be scratched by various poisonous and stinging plants, and some extremely poisonous caterpillars may be itchy (spicy) to doubt life if they accidentally touch the skin.
Once you are injured by these things, and it is a deep forest, it will naturally bring many difficulties to the rescue. It's hard to save yourself. The terrain is complex, and it takes time to return to the original road. It is a test for the outside world to enter the rescue, and it will also add trouble to others. Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary danger, it is best to turn back immediately when encountering such a hill.
Insects and birds don't sing because the climate is too hot, which proves that the climate in the mountains is not good, the air may be very hot, and it will cause great oppression to people without circulation and air intake.
This feeling of breathlessness is like working in a rural sugarcane field at noon in summer. Just a few sugarcane trees above the head can make people feel that when the temperature rises at noon, oxygen decreases and the wind does not circulate. Therefore, entering such a deep mountain is a physical test, and people with poor health or respiratory diseases need to pay more attention.
In addition, there may be miasma where there are no insects singing and birds singing in the mountains. Although this miasma occurs mostly in virgin forests, it is also common in some hilly areas. It's no exaggeration that miasma in TV series can turn people into "poison".
Because the main components of miasma are methane, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia and so on. Is a toxic gas produced by the decay of animals and plants. There are a lot of animals and plants in the primitive forest, which naturally may produce miasma.
The high temperature in summer accelerates the decay of animals and plants, and this miasma will keep insects and birds away. Once inhaled, people will be poisoned, and if it is ignited unfortunately, it will also cause a fire, which is a great safety hazard for people who break in without authorization.
Finally, the old people tried their best to discourage young people from entering the lifeless mountains, probably because of this. The age when the old people lived may be a little more turbulent than we are now, so there was a big gap between the public security at that time and now, and crimes were prevalent in some rural areas.
In order to avoid hunting, many people will choose to flee to these barren hills and old forests to hide; Because the mountainous area is inaccessible, it may also become a hiding place for some illegal acts. Therefore, once you meet someone by mistake, you have a great chance of meeting criminals. If you go alone, it's like playing tiger mouth.
When you meet these vicious people in the mountains, natural personal and property safety cannot be guaranteed, so the best way to avoid these dangers is not to enter these silent and terrible mountains.
It is not superstition that the old people in rural areas advise young people not to go into the deep mountains without birds and insects. On the one hand, because undeveloped mountains are easy to get lost and lose contact, it is also very difficult to rescue. Secondly, there are countless poisonous insects and beasts in this mountain forest, and there will be dangers such as poisonous gas.
But more importantly, the old people know that in their time, some things are more dangerous than nature because there are too many cases around them. Therefore, similar teaching to the younger generation may not be accepted by future generations, but it is actually one of the treasures they left to future generations, which is worth savoring.
In fact, today, people's awe of nature still needs to be preserved. If you lack professional equipment and no one to travel with you, you'd better not challenge these barren hills. You have to face not only danger, but also the thoughts of your loved ones.
So, the old people are right. For the sake of safety, it is the wisest choice to return to the original road when you encounter a deep mountain without birds and insects.
As a mountain man, I'll tell you the truth. That's an adult to scare you so that you don't run around with your friends. No insects! There is no evidence that there is any danger or problem. Just a state in the mountains, that's all.
As long as the farmers in the mountains know. There are no bugs in hot summer. Especially at noon. The insects in the mountains are hiding, and often only the sound of leaves is heard. If a person is in a dense forest, it is really quiet around. Occasionally, birds or squirrels come out for activities and can hear everything clearly.
If a person works in the Woods, he will inevitably be a little nervous and suspicious. My heart is also sensitive, and I will feel scared slowly. I wonder if people with higher living standards are more afraid of this and that. My courage is getting smaller and smaller, and I can't find my old heroism and courage anymore.
I remember that many people went to the deep forest alone to burn charcoal, cut wood, collect medicine and hunt. Sometimes in the middle of the night, I go quietly and come back quietly. It seems so, and I have never heard that someone was hit by a ghost, eaten by a wild animal, and bitten by a poisonous snake. Because people's potential can be infinitely stimulated, and many times it is forced.
Telling you the truth here is also experience. Without experience and protection, it is best not to go into the mountains in summer. Throughout the year, summer is the most dangerous and winter is the safest. Summer is the season when all animals are active, and it is also the season with the densest vegetation. The air in the Woods is hot and humid, and the sight is not good, which is oppressive to people. It would be much better if it were winter. Many animals are hibernating, trees are deciduous, and the air is dry, so it is much safer to move in the Woods.
There are no wild fruits in the mountains in summer, and most of them are immature. It is best to pick wild fruits around the Mid-Autumn Festival. Many wild fruits are ripe, and the leaves are not so dense. Several people can go together and take care of each other. Bring drinking water and snacks. Of course, don't forget to bring your mobile phone and charging treasure. The beautiful scenery along the way and the joy of capturing natural food should be recorded one by one.
For ordinary people, what news they hear, they head for this goal and leave with joy and fun. This kind of people are often easy to turn back because the deep mountain road is difficult to walk. They will-if they can't dig ginseng, they will take this opportunity to pick some wild fruits and vegetables. The so-called "not for nothing." The other kind of people, who don't give up until they play a little, know that "the deeper you go, the harder it is to get in, and the more amazing it is."
The insects here refer to the chirping of cicadas, slugs and other insects ... The deep mountains without insects can be considered as bad as their living environment, and of course they are not suitable for entering.
In fact, some experiences of the elderly have certain scientific truth.
There are insects and birds in the landscape jungle, which is a normal natural phenomenon. If a mountain forest is completely lifeless, it is either not suitable for living and inhabiting, or there are strong risk factors in this mountain forest.
Naturally, you can't go alone in such an environment. Moreover, a person's mood will also be affected in such an environment.
Where I used to live, I could see the mountains in the distance as soon as I looked up, and a bus passed by at the foot of the community gate. In my spare time, I will go to the mountains, dig some wild vegetables, pick some wild flowers and collect some herbs to make tea. These are all things I like to do.
At that time, the mountain was not fully developed, and there were almost no people except cars passing by occasionally. But I have never been afraid, because when I walk into the mountains, the breeze blows gently, the shadows of trees sway, the sun is mottled, the leaves rustle and birds sing one after another. Although I am alone, I am not lonely. At that moment, my heart calmed down in the noise.
That time, it was summer, and I went to the mountains again. By the time I got halfway up the mountain, it was already noon and everything was as usual. But when I was sitting on the hillside to rest, the more I sat, the more uneasy I became, the more scared I became, because suddenly there was silence all around, and there was not even a breath of wind, and my hair stood on end.
That time I hurried down the mountain, as if something was chasing me. Moreover, I haven't been there since then, and I don't even have the mind to go, because I feel a sense of fear when I think about it.
Later, I heard that there were also incidents of wolves biting people down the mountain.
I often think that my sixth sense must have warned me that time.
It refers to this kind of mountain, which is a relatively primitive mountain. You shouldn't rush for success, it's more dangerous. You must have a professional team, equipment and personnel to enter the mountain, otherwise it will be very dangerous.
Generally speaking, there are insects and birds singing in nature. If we don't even go to this place, there must be a reason, so we humans had better not take risks without certain protection.
How can people live without insects, birds and life?
Without insects flying, there would be no birds and beasts, only miasma!
Without ecology, it is a land of great disaster.
