After resting in the town for a night, Ruyu and Lei Zhenyu continued to drive towards their destination the next day. Of course, they slept in the lounge chair in the car last night because Lei Zhenyu insisted not to go to other people's house.

It was very uncomfortable to sleep on the recliner on the car. Ruyu felt a little sore in her back the next day. Lei Zhenyu joked that she was not what she slept on the recliner but was loved by him.

She glared at him in anger, which caused him to laugh proudly, and he started the car in his laughter and drove towards the desert.

Along the way, you can see a particularly eye-catching big tree growing there from time to time. This kind of short and fat tree with a strange appearance is the world-famous Baobab, which is literally translated as "bobab tree", commonly known as "baobab". The trunks of the bread tree look strange and look like the roots of the tree. From a distance, they look like a tree growing upside down.

Lei Zhenyu didn't know this kind of tree, so he asked Ruyu, what kind of tree is this kind of tree?

Ruyu told him: This is a baobab, and the baobab can be called a "longevity tree" in the plant kingdom, which can generally live for 4,000 to 5,000 years. It has a strong ability to adapt to the environment. Although the trunk of the baobab is very thick, the texture is very loose. These loose holes in the tall and thick trunks can store a lot of rainwater, and the body plays a water absorption role in replacing the root system. The water stored in the trunk can maintain the growth and development of the baobab throughout the year. When people working or traveling on the savanna are thirsty, they can absorb water from the tree and drink it with pleasure. For this reason, people call it the "tree of life". After the baobabab absorbs enough water, new leaves grow, which are palm-shaped complex leaves. At this time, the branches and leaves are lush and large white flowers bloom.

As for the function of baobabs, well, I once heard a joke that in Angola, some people say that a man only needs to spend two hours planting 12 baobabs, and he has completed his explanation to the next generation, because the fruits of the 12 baobabs are enough for a person to eat a full year.

Lei Zhenyu couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing Ruyu's words. He said, "Okay, can people just eat enough and don't need to wear warm clothes? And you need clothes that are warm, don't you need to buy clothes?"

Ruyu said lightly that the climate in Africa is very hot all year round, and people don’t need to wear clothes at all. Besides, have you seen that the children in the countryside are naked? They can not wear them even when they are old, just cover them with leaves and bark.

Well, Lei Zhenyu admitted that in this regard, the demand for Angola is really low. It is so easy for them to eat and wear well, not to mention that they have a cashew tree in addition to baobabs.

No wonder Ruyu said that Angolans have high happiness index. The demand is so simple, so people will certainly not have much pressure, and people without pressure will naturally live extremely happy. Can happy people not be happy?

I drove all the way and knew that in the afternoon, they finally arrived at a village near the southern part of Angola, five kilometers away from the Namibi Desert. There were very few people living here, with few families.

Moreover, because of the heat, there are really adults who are covered with leaves and bark, especially girls. Some of them do not even cover the top, but just cover the bottom with the bark.
