"Oh? There are some things you can't touch? What things? There are flowers, plants and trees here, right?" I said.
Chen Jiansheng shook his head, "Talking while walking."
After walking for about ten minutes, he stopped in front of a big tree. This big tree was more than ten meters high and looked very strange. It had limbs and a trunk, but it didn't have a single leaf on its body. It was bare.
He pointed at the big tree and turned around and said: "Look, I used this tree as a reference landmark before. Because it is easy to recognize, I named it the bachelor tree. This bachelor tree is facing the exit of the cave crack.
As long as you can see it, you won't get lost in it."
"Well, Chen Mugong, this is indeed a good idea," I praised.
A mole raised his head and looked at the big tree blankly for several minutes. Then he said in a deep voice: "When I was in college, I took botany because I was interested. I heard an old professor talk about this tree.
What's the name of the bachelor tree? It has a name, it's called the Yunyang tree."
"Hey, I didn't expect you, Chen Login, are still a college student," Chen Jiansheng said with a smile, "I don't know about the Yunyang tree. It doesn't have a hair on it. I think it's more appropriate to call it the bachelor tree."
"Don't talk nonsense before it's transformed!" Sister Hong glared at him: "Yunyang is the name of the ancients. This kind of tree was actually grafted by the ancients unintentionally. The person who discovered this tree was a scholar named Yunyang.
That’s why it was called the Yunyang tree in “Foreign Objects and Strange Monsters”, but all this was because ancient people didn’t know much about grafting technology.”
"Then it depends on what you want. This bachelor tree, no, this Yunyang tree was planted by humans?"
"It's definitely wrong. I've been here several times. Let alone people, I haven't even seen a ghost. You must have made a mistake." When Chen Jiansheng heard that the big tree might have been artificially grafted, he kept shaking his head in denial.
.
"Okay Chen Tugong, it doesn't matter whether the tree is wild or grafted. Let's hurry up and go to the place you said you wanted to show us."
"Okay, let's go. Go to the left and pay attention to the weeds under your feet. Some grasses can have thorns."
He took us to continue walking. Along the way, I saw many plants that I had never seen before.
Sister Hong explained to me from time to time: "Here, this flower is called Aconitum, don't touch it, it will itch you."
"This is called nux vomica, and that is red cockscomb. These are very uncommon flowers and plants."
Suddenly, I saw a dark yellow insect lying on a red cockscomb. This insect was very similar to the cicada in the countryside.
I stretched out my hand and caught it.
Holding the insect, I looked at it carefully and wondered: "This... what is this? Isn't this a cicada? Why does this thing have no legs?"
I said why I caught it as soon as I stretched out my hand. It turned out that this thing didn't have legs and couldn't crawl away.
"Chen Tugong, do you know what kind of insect this is?" I asked curiously.
He looked at it, scratched his head and said, "I don't know. It's no use asking me. I haven't seen everything. There are a lot of weird bugs here."
This insect doesn't seem to be able to scream. It has a pair of black sesame-like eyes on its head, which looks very strange.
Chen Jiansheng said he didn’t know and had never seen it before. Sister Hong also shook her head and said she didn’t know it. Sister Hong said she knew a lot about plants but very little about insects.
I didn’t pay much attention to it, so I just stuffed the bug into my trouser pocket. It doesn’t bite people anyway, and the bug doesn’t have legs and can’t crawl around. I just thought it was weird and didn’t see it.
Pass.
"By the way, are you hungry now?" Chen Jiansheng suddenly turned around and asked.
"It's not bad, I can keep walking, I'm not very hungry," I said truthfully.
He rolled his eyes and said, "Of course you're not hungry, kid! You even ate every fish I caught!"
"This..." I was a little embarrassed and rubbed my hands in embarrassment.
"Okay, okay, we just happened to come here, please place some cushions."
He pointed to a small tree on the right and said: "The red fruits on the tree are edible. I have eaten them before. It's okay. There is nothing delicious here. I will pick a few to satisfy my hunger."
, he walked towards the fruit tree minding his own business.
After a few minutes, he came back with his shirt stretched out.
"Here you go," he handed one to a mole.
"Who knows if I can eat it? I won't eat it," Sister Hong didn't answer.
"Ha, then Chen Login, just be hungry." He picked up a fruit and wiped it on his clothes, then brought it to his mouth and took a big bite. The fruit was full of juice and looked very sweet.
I swallowed subconsciously.
Noticing my gaffe, he shook his head and threw two to me.
After hesitating, I took a bite carefully.
It tastes a bit like an apple, crunchy, but tastes sweeter and juicier than an apple.
"It's okay, Sister Hong, you can have one. It's really delicious. You basically haven't eaten anything before. We have to walk later, so it's good to have one to replenish sugar." After that, I handed it to her.
a fruit.
This time she ate it.
"Hey..." the man smiled and said: "How about Chen Logistics, is it sweet? Is it fragrant?"
She had a cold face and didn't reply.
After several people ate the fruit, their throats felt much refreshed and less dry.
Chen Jiansheng found an open space and said he would sit down for a while and rest, there was no rush for this moment.
I asked doubtfully: "Chen Tugong, we didn't walk far after we came in..."
"Hey," he waved his hand, "Boy, there are some things you don't know. Just listen to me and you'll figure it out after you sit here for a while. I'll show you something good later." He said this without any beginning or end.
Mysterious.
There was no way. Since the leader said to take a rest, I had no choice but to take a rest. I also wanted to take a look at what the good things he said he wanted me to see were.
The few of them didn't say anything, just sitting on the ground. Chen Jiansheng looked up in the air from time to time, not knowing what he was looking at.
I guess an hour passed and I couldn't sit still.
Standing up from the ground suddenly, I asked him how long he would rest and whether he would do anything serious. Sister Hong also turned to look at him.
Chen Jiansheng is now lying on his back with his upper body supported by his hands, and he is still biting a piece of weed in his mouth.
"Bah," he spat out the weeds in his mouth and said, "I will never forget that scene after I saw it once. Don't worry, it will get dark soon. Soon, soon...
"
"It's dark? In here?" I looked around.
The surrounding environment in front of me looks like it is in the evening, the light is not enough, but I can see things.
"Haha, here we come, look quickly." Chen Jiansheng suddenly pointed to the place we just walked over.
I saw that the place we walked through just now was falling into darkness little by little, as if we were experiencing a total lunar eclipse, from dusk to night.
Moreover, this darkness like a dark cloud is in a transitional state and is spreading towards the three of us.
In less than three minutes, the entire space here went dark. It instantly became so dark that you couldn't even see your fingers.
It's so dark now that I can't even see my fingers.
"Chen Tugong!" It was so dark that I couldn't see anyone else, so I shouted.
