The fifth day.

From the massive rift in the East Sea, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi continued to pour into this world endlessly.

On the land of Jiangnan, the sky was high and clear, with blue skies and white clouds. The autumn breeze was pleasant, with a very comfortable and cool temperature, just right for wearing a short sleeve or a thin jacket.

Some girls wore short skirts, looking clean and fresh.

On the open grassland, some people began flying kites.

In short, the smog that troubled people seemed to have disappeared these past few days, bringing fresh air to Huaxia.

On the streets, if you looked carefully, you would notice that some trees, which had shed all their leaves, were starting to sprout new green.

The sixth day.

The new green became more apparent, and some leaves, which were originally turning yellow, began to turn tender green again.

The entire Jiangnan Province seemed not to be entering winter, but spring.

"How strange, how are these trees starting to bud?"

"Indeed, the air has also improved a lot."

"It's such a pleasure to go out in this weather, taking a breath is refreshing and feels so comforting."

"..."

In the streets, people began discussing this abnormal phenomenon.

And this peculiar phenomenon started attracting more and more attention.

After all, it was simply too strange for the trees not to shed their leaves and instead regrow new green in late autumn.

The seventh day.

Along the coast of Jiangnan Province, a netizen took pictures of the flowers, grass, and trees near his home and posted them online, starting a topic called #TreesBuddingInAutumn#.

In the pictures, the sky was clear and bright, and a tree that was originally bare now had tender green leaves growing on its branches.

That touch of green looked so pleasing.

With a large number of clear photos as proof, this Weibo topic quickly climbed the trending charts, attracting the attention of many netizens.

Soon, more and more netizens from the Jiangnan Province area joined in, uploading pictures of their local flora and skies online.

Some flowers that were originally wilting even started to revive with fresh petals, and some yellowing grass also turned vibrant green again.

Moreover, the sky was blue and clear, far surpassing its previous hazy appearance.

#ThisIsJiangnanSky#, #LiveInJiangnan#, #JiangnanSkyWithoutSmog#...

In no time, numerous Weibo topics about this abnormal climate phenomenon went viral.

The eighth day.

As the event continued to ferment, this topic quickly sparked nationwide discussion and attracted a lot of media attention.

A large number of trees throughout Jiangnan City began to sprout green leaves.

In the streets of Jiangnan City, in the afternoon, under a willow tree.

A cameraman, a female reporter, two middle-aged men, and some assisting personnel, a total of six or seven people, stood there with some curious onlookers around.

Clearly, they were preparing to start filming a program.

"Hello everyone, I'm Wang Yujia, a reporter for our provincial TV station. Thank you for tuning in to our program 'Jiangnan Up Close'. Today, we've invited two guests for everyone, one is our environmental protection expert, Liang Chang, and the other is the director of Jiangnan City's Environmental Protection Bureau, Director Dai Ren."

Female reporter Wang Yujia introduced the two middle-aged men beside her.

"Please, Dr. Liang and Director Dai, say hello to our audience."

Wang Yujia said with a smile.

"Hello to all the viewers of 'Jiangnan Up Close'."

The two greeted the camera with cheerful smiles, then individually introduced themselves.

"These past two days, a Weibo topic called #TreesBuddingInAutumn# has sparked a lot of discussion online. I'm sure the viewers have already noticed the willow tree behind me. Let's take a closer look at this willow tree with our camera."

Wang Yujia walked towards the willow tree, followed closely by two cameramen.

On the willow tree behind Wang Yujia, the previously yellow and dry willow twigs began to turn tender green, with new green buds growing on each twig.

Some of the new buds had already burst open, growing into slender willow leaves, and the willow tree drooped as if spring had arrived.

The fresh green color was so pleasing to the eye that it couldn't help but make one's eyes light up.

"Everyone has seen it; this willow tree has sprouted new buds as late autumn approaches. Actually, it's not just this willow tree. Please follow our camera to look at the nearby trees."

Wang Yujia stepped forward, the camera followed closely, and the expert Liang Chang and Director Dai also followed behind.

The camera captured a plane tree, a poplar tree, and a ginkgo tree all in the frame.

Under the plane tree, the ground was still covered with a layer of deep red leaves that had obviously fallen over the past few days.

However, at this moment, some of the originally deep red leaves on the plane tree showed vibrant green, as if they had been rejuvenated, and new green also grew on some branches.

The poplar and ginkgo trees were the same, with the yellowing leaves turning green and even the trunks looking less dry and cold.

"Viewers, as you have seen, as we approach late autumn, the trees are sprouting anew. This situation is already widespread throughout Jiangnan City. What's the reason behind trees sprouting again and rejuvenating? Next, let's have our environmental protection expert, Dr. Liang Chang, explain this phenomenon."

Wang Yujia said a few words into the camera, then turned her gaze to Liang Chang.

"Dr. Liang, what do you think about this phenomenon? Is there any scientific basis for it?"

Wang Yujia handed the microphone to Dr. Liang.

"We preliminarily believe it is related to global climate warming. As global warming progresses, trees feel it most acutely. Of course, it might also be a special El Niño phenomenon."

Dr. Liang thought for a moment and said.

"So, Dr. Liang, what exactly is the El Niño phenomenon?"

Wang Yujia asked.

"The El Niño phenomenon, precisely speaking, refers to an abnormal warming of the ocean surface in the tropical Pacific. A large-scale warming of the tropical Pacific can cause global climate changes, but this state must last for more than three months to be recognized as an El Niño phenomenon.

However, the budding of these trees in late autumn has only been happening for a few days, so it is not sufficient to determine. More likely, it is because of global climate warming, leading to this abnormal phenomenon."

Dr. Liang said.

"I see. I wonder why it's only happening in Jiangnan Province and is particularly focused on the Jiangnan coastline."

Wang Yujia pressed further.

"This is indeed something worth our in-depth study. Just as I mentioned earlier, it might also be a new type of El Niño phenomenon occurring on land."

Upon hearing this, Liang Chang paused for a moment, adjusted his glasses, and said solemnly.
