Chapter 57
house.Not far from Li Jing's house, there was a water tap. I don't know whose it belonged to, but there was water, so I drank three painkillers directly under the tap.After resting for a while, I stil..."Oh Some things can't be touched What things This is all flowers, plants, and trees here, isn't it" I said.
Chen Jian-sheng shook his head, "Let's walk and talk."
“
After walking for about ten minutes, he stopped in front of a large tree. It was about ten meters high and looked very strange. It had branches and trunks, but not a single leaf on its entire body; it was bare.
He pointed at the big tree and turned his head to say, "Look, before I used this tree as a reference point because it's easy to recognize. I named it 'The Bachelor Tree.' This Bachelor Tree is directly facing the exit of the cave crevice. As long as you can see it, you won't get lost inside."
"
" Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
"Well, Chen the carpenter, that's a good idea," I praised.
A mole tilted his head and stared at the tree for several minutes. Afterward, he spoke in a low voice: "When I was in college, because of my interest, I specially took botany courses. This tree, I've heard the old professor talk about it; it's not called a bachelor tree. It has a name, Yunyang tree."
">
"Hey, I didn't expect you were still a college student, Chen Houqin," Chen Jiansheng chuckled, "As for Yuyangshu, we don't know anything about it. It doesn't have a single hair on it. I think 'Bachelor Tree' would be more fitting."
">
“Don’t talk nonsense if you lack culture!” Hong Jie glared at him: “Yunyang is an ancient term. This kind of tree was actually accidentally grafted by ancient people. It was discovered by a scholar named Yunyang, so it was called Yunyang Tree in the book 'Strange Objects'. However, all of this is because ancient people didn’t understand grafting techniques very well.”
“
"Then, it's according to your view. This bachelor tree, no, this Yunyang tree is still artificially planted"
"That's definitely not right. I've been here several times, and there isn't a single person or even a ghost in sight. You must be mistaken," Chen Jian Sheng shook his head repeatedly, denying the possibility that the tree was artificially grafted.
"Alright, Chen Tujing, whether this tree is wild or grafted doesn't matter. What's important is that we hurry and go to the place you want to show us."
">
"Okay, let's go. Take the left path, and watch out for the grass under your feet. Some of it has thorns that can catch."
">
He led us on, and along the way, I saw many plants I had never seen before.
Auntie Hong would sometimes explain to me: "This, this flower is called Aconitum. Don't touch it, if you touch it, it will itch."
">
"This is called Moneywort, that's Red cockscomb flower, these are all very uncommon plants."
">
Suddenly, I saw a dark yellow insect lying on a red cockscomb flower. It looked very much like a cicada found in rural fields and meadows.
I caught it with a flick of my wrist.
Squeezing a bug, I looked at it carefully and asked in puzzlement, "This... what is this Isn't this a cricket How come this thing has no legs"
I said how did I catch it so easily, it turns out this thing doesn't have legs, it can't walk away.
"Chen Tuchong, do you know what kind of insect this is" I asked curiously.
He looked around, scratching his head and said, “I don’t know, you’re asking me for nothing. I haven’t seen everything, there are all sorts of strange little bugs in here.”
>
This bug doesn't seem to make any noise. It has a pair of black eyes, like sesame seeds, that look very strange.
Chen Jian-sheng said he didn't know and hadn't seen it before. Hong Jie also shook her head and said she didn't recognize it. Hong Jie said that she knew more about plants than insects.
I didn't pay much attention to it, just casually put the bug in my pocket. Anyway, it wouldn't bite, and besides, it didn't have legs so it wouldn't crawl around randomly.
I just find it strange and unusual, I've never seen anything like it.
"By the way, are you guys hungry now" Chen Jian-sheng suddenly turned around and asked.
"It's alright, I can keep going. Not that hungry," I said honestly.
He rolled his eyes: "Of course you're not hungry! I caught a fish and you ate it all!"
"This..." I felt a little embarrassed, and awkwardly rubbed my hands.
Okay, okay, just happen to be walking by, might as well grab a bite.

He pointed to a small tree on his right and said, “These red fruits on the tree are edible. I’ve eaten them before, it’s fine. There’s not much else to eat here, so I’m going to pick some to tide me over.”
As he spoke, he walked towards the fruit trees by himself.
In a few minutes, he came back stretching his shirt.him, some of whom I had seen before.Xiao Zuo head, Owl Woman, Jian Ge and others were all present.Some of them had machetes, while others held guns. Their numbers were double ours.We hurried and final...
