Chapter 57
"Oh? There are some things you can't touch? What things? Are there flowers, plants and trees here?" I said.
Chen Jiansheng shook his head, "Talking while walking."
After walking for about ten minutes, he stopped in front of a big tree. The tree was more than ten meters high and looked very strange. It had limbs and a trunk, but there was no leaf on it.
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, Carpenter Chen, 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 Chen Login that you 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 if you are uneducated!" 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. , so it was called Yunyang tree in "Foreign Objects and Strange Monsters", but all this is 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 be mistaken." 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 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 if you touch it."
"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 fields beside the rural fields.
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 in 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 that he didn’t know whether he had seen it before, and Sister Hong shook her head and said she didn’t know it. Sister Hong said that 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 wouldn’t bite people anyway, and the bug didn’t have legs and couldn’t crawl around. I just thought it was strange and had never seen it before.
"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.
His eyelids rolled up: "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 cushion it."
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." As he spoke, , he walked towards the fruit tree minding his own business.
Within a few minutes, he came back with his shirt stretched out.
