While taking a break, Lu Lu looked at the back of his left hand.
The area where it had been scratched was red and swollen, and there were also raised white bumps, and the small hole in the center of the bump could be clearly seen.
After enduring it for such a long time, he seemed to have adapted to the itching, and he didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore.
After resting for a while, the four people set off again and searched around the area of Shilizi. However, after searching the surrounding area of 20 to 30 meters, they could only find a few small lily trees, let alone
The leaves are in the fourth grade, and even Erjiazi has not been seen.
Could it be that the lampstand we just found was grown from the seeds left behind after being eaten and digested by small animals?
Inexplicably, Lu Lu was always a little unwilling.
He couldn't help but lead a few people to expand the search scope again.
While searching carefully, Yuanbao suddenly barked.
This cry was a bit strange. It wasn't the sound of finding prey or someone. Lu Lu couldn't help but look back at Yuan Bao.
Just when he was feeling confused, Yuan Bao suddenly rushed up, bit the corner of Lu Lu's clothes with his mouth open, and pulled him back hard.
The big stupid dog is very strong. Although Yuan Bao is a bitch and lacks strength, it is definitely not weak. Lu Lu was dragged and followed him for two steps involuntarily.
At this moment, a crashing sound was suddenly heard from above.
Lu Lu was startled and immediately realized something.
"Get out of the way!" he shouted and hurriedly ran to the side.
Following this shout, several people jumped to the side.
Something roared and hit the ground, making the branches and leaves high above rattle.
It was a section of treetop that had been broken by the wind. It was leaning against the lime tree next to it at a high place. It seemed that it had not been long since the mountain wind had just blown by. During the shaking, most of the treetop fell off.
As soon as the four people avoided it, the dry treetop fell to the ground. It was broken by the wind, and the sharp and slanted fracture that appeared when it was broken was submerged in the soil. When it fell over, a large amount of soil was thrown up.
.
This power, as long as it is inserted into the trunk of a tree or swept away by branches and leaves, the damage is still light.
If this was inserted into the broken hole...the consequences would be disastrous.
Lu Lu couldn't help but feel frightened. He glanced at the three people who were also frightened and asked quickly: "Are you all okay?"
"It's okay!"
The three of them responded.
"It's okay!"
Lu Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked down at Yuanbao and the five dogs standing in front of him, squatted down, hugged Yuanbao's neck, and rubbed Yuanbao's head: "Thank you, Yuanbao, for saving me!"
If it hadn't been for Yuan Bao's drag just now, Lu Lu would have continued to search with the pick stick. His first reaction when he heard the sound was to look up and realize something was wrong. If he thought about running again, it would be difficult to escape from this range.
, the possibility of being hit or swept by branches is too high.
So thrilling!
I don’t know if Yuan Bao understood it. He just tilted his head and looked at Lu Lu. After snorting, he stretched out his broad tongue and licked Lu Lu’s face twice.
Lu Lu did not shy away from this intimate gesture, and was only grateful in his heart.
What a keen and intelligent dog!
Lu Lu never expected that he would actually encounter a hanged man today.
He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Liang Kangbo's dream last night came true?
This kind of thing is really impossible to guard against!
Lu Lu hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and put aside the unrealistic thoughts in his mind. After taking a long breath, he continued to call the three people to queue up.
However, just under this big tree with its upper half cut off, Lu Lu saw a few more small stick trees.
But after searching carefully twice, I still couldn't find a decent mallet.
When he passed by the big tree, he looked back at the big tree with lingering fear. When he saw it, he was stunned.
"Bangchui!" he said happily.
Hearing Lu Lu's words, the three of them immediately looked over. Liang Kangbo asked: "What kind of leaves are there?"
"Four-grade leaves!" Lu Lu said with a slight smile.
The three people immediately came over, but when they got to Lu Lu, they looked around, but did not see the shadow of the stick. Chen Xiuqing couldn't help but ask: "Where is it?"
Lu Lu stretched out his hand and pointed towards the middle of the big tree: "Here... there!"
The three of them raised their heads and looked in the direction pointed by Lu Lu. They saw a tree hole halfway up the tree, and at the entrance of the tree hole, a four-leaf stick stretched diagonally out of the hole. On the top
The red hammer swayed in the wind.
"It looks really weird. Why is it growing on a tree?" Liang Kangbo said in surprise.
Lu Lu smiled and said, "What's so strange about this? What if some birds or small animals stayed in the tree hole and brought the seeds there? It's not strange. It's even weirder than this. I
It all feels normal!”
The fourth-grade leaf Bangchui, known as a handful, has a son and a daughter. They searched around under the tree for a long time, but still only saw small twisters, and they couldn't find any of them.
"It's possible that this stick is a little younger... maybe it's just a fourth-grade leaf." Lu Lu could only explain it this way.
The entrance of the cave was more than four meters above the ground. Chen Xiuqing squatted on the ground. Lu Lu stepped on his shoulders, reached the branches above and climbed up. Then he got closer to the entrance of the cave and took a look. He saw that the tree had rotted into pieces.
Some of the scrap wood chips and some grass blades have rotted into black mud, and there is also a thick layer of pine nut shells knocked by squirrels. Small animals such as greyhounds or chipmunks must have stayed here.
He hung the hunting bag on his back on a branch, took out the rope, wrapped it around his crotch and waist, tied a safety knot, and tied it to a thick branch, then took out his quick ax and pointed it at the edge of the hole.
The rotten wood was chopped down to enlarge the hole.
Obviously, there is no need to use a quick rope here, and it is not easy to solidify treasures. Lu Lu doesn't pay attention to that. He simply takes out the quick scissors, cuts off the stalk of the mallet, and then throws it down to Chen Xiuqing and asks him to
Sow the small ball of ginseng seeds on the head of the red hammer.
Lu Lu himself took out the deer bone pick, held the small section of stalk on the head of the mallet with his left hand, and began to fiddle with it.
What accumulates in the tree hole is mainly the rotten matter in the heart of the tree, as well as the leftover residues of small animals. There may also be birds making nests in it, because there is actually a ball of fine grass and some still left inside.
Unrotted bird feathers.
It was full of humus, there were no extra grass roots, tree roots and the like, and it was very soft, so things progressed very quickly.
In about twenty minutes, Lu Lu took out this fourth-grade leaf stick.
However, the age that could be seen was much greater than he imagined, because the reed head had signs of damage.
In a place like this, it is often accompanied by small animals, and the chance of being injured is also greatly increased. It can be said that it has an ill-fated fate. It can be regarded as strong enough to grow to this point.
Constantly sleeping, spending a lot of time in a state of consuming itself. It can be imagined that this mallet is old enough, but it is also quite small. When lifted out, it is estimated to only weigh 70 or 80 grams.
It's damaged and doesn't weigh much, so it can't be sold for a good price, so it can only be said to be better than nothing!
After getting down from the tree with a mallet and a hunting bag, Chen Xiuqing had already obtained moss and pine bark, and Lu Lu sealed it.
Now he somewhat understood the reason why such a large area was filled with small items.
According to the initial estimate of the normal growth of the stick tree on hand, it should be at least seventy or eighty years old, but it has never had the chance to reach the fifth-grade leaves. It is estimated that it only blooms occasionally, leaving such small twisters scattered around.
Maybe, this Bangchui tree is the ancestor of Bangchui in this mountain valley.
The four of them spent a lot of time searching the surrounding area, but they found two more Erjiazi trees, and nothing else.
"Go and carry the lampstand that Third Brother saw. Let's go back and change places tomorrow!"
Lu Lu was somewhat disappointed with this place.
Sure enough, as great as the expectations are, there will be great disappointments.
He didn't want to delay here any longer, so it was better to find Lao Zhao quickly.
The four of them returned to the gap in the stone where the bungara snake was found, and it was Lu Lu who carried out the lampstand.
Unexpectedly, after clearing the surrounding weeds, Lu Lu followed the stalks and poked the soil with a deer bone stick. Gradually, he was stunned. The surface soil was cleared, and what was exposed was three scattered reeds.
stem.
A reed stem means there is a stalk...
During the growth process of the stick, the roots may branch and grow in order to obtain more nutrients and water. This will cause one stick to grow multiple seedlings. This is actually a very common situation, especially for garden ginseng of later generations.
Obviously, this is a stick with three seedlings.
It's just that the other two were probably destroyed due to some external factors when they were still sprouting in early spring, leaving only one seedling, and it was the smallest branch.
Judging from the size of the other two reed stems, they are much larger than the one growing now. If the stems grow successfully, they may be fourth grade, fifth grade, or even sixth grade.
This stick, which appears to be a third-grade leaf, is probably another rare commodity!
He couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and sat aside to catch his breath.
"Brother Lu, what's wrong?" Chen Xiuqing asked with some confusion as the three people sitting and resting around looked back at Lu Lu.
"Wait for me to calm down and calm down... This third-grade leaf stick has produced two more reed stems. From the preliminary performance, it is likely to be a big product!" Lu Lu said slowly while trying to adjust his excited mood.
.
Upon hearing this, the three of them couldn't help but move over to take a look, and their expressions became surprised.
Then, they each stood up, walked around, took off the semi-automatic they were carrying, and assumed a posture of watching the scene. Before, they thought it was just a small stick with three-grade leaves, so the three of them didn't pay much attention. They were all for Lu
The law took it back and planted it.
Obviously, they also realized that this tree was not simple.
Lu Lu calmed down his mood, half-knelt down next to the mallet again, and began to clean up.
After cutting the lodging stalks with quick scissors, he used a deer bone skewer to dig up the soil bit by bit, and then picked out the roots. The roots were connected to the soil, so he had to be extremely careful to prevent damage and leakage of pulp.
You also have to carefully judge the direction of the mallet in the soil, sort out each ginseng root, and dig it out carefully.
This mallet has forks and is tangled with underground roots, making it quite complicated to clean.
Lu Lu was careful and cautious, taking a few breaths in the middle before lifting the mallet out completely.
If all three seedlings of this stick can grow normally, it will definitely flourish.
The underground reed stem is divided into three sections. The base is a round reed, but not long; the middle part is a flower reed, which is lined with large stalks and is very dense; the top is a horse tooth reed. There are three reed heads, big and small, and the lower part is
The main body of the mallet is not small. There are six main roots alone, and the longest root must be more than 30 centimeters.
Probably because there were rocks blocking it below, it became a cross-sea body with splayed legs.
Overall, this mallet has clear and sparse roots and various bends, like a work of art. It is no worse than the last six-grade leaf mallet dug out.
Another pretty big item.
Seeing the mallet being brought out, the three of them immediately came over and asked, "How old is it?"
Lu Lu looked at the longest stem mark and concluded: "It's a hundred years old...another treasure!"
The three of them immediately became ecstatic.
Liang Kangbo ran to the side and quickly peeled off a piece of pine bark. Zhao Yongke found moss. Lu Lu spread the moss on the bark, grabbed some soil from the original pit and sprinkled it on the moss. Then he put the mallet on it and carefully beat it.
After sealing the buns, I let out a long sigh of relief.
In this area, they had already carefully expanded the search area before, and there was no need to search anymore. Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Lu put the packets in his hunting bag and called a few people to turn back.
After walking down the hillside for a few minutes, I suddenly heard Yuan Bao shouting.
