Chapter 221: Chinese Ancient Fruit

Lin Xing'an walked up to the two reindeer with some suspicion, and after stretching out his head to look at the rattan baskets carried on the deer's back, a pair of eyes could no longer be separated.

"Lookout Tree, Green Scale Fern, Snow Lotus, Purple Leaf, this is Benne Cycad, Naked Fern, God, Reed, Scale, Lenny Fern----"

Lin Xing'an kept reporting their names while checking the saplings in the rattan basket, and his voice became louder and louder, with irrepressible excitement.

Zhang Nan After they heard Lin Xing'an's voice, they also ran over to watch.

He Ling and Su Guoer didn't know much about plants at all, they just ran up to see the excitement, and saw that Ling Zikai had collected a lot of plant seedlings, all of which had never been collected in the old forest in the past two days, although they didn't know what kind of species they were, but from Lin Xing'an's expression, they could also guess that they must be something extraordinary.

In the eyes of Zhang Nan, who was from a professional background, he saw at a glance that almost all of these seedlings were rare species that had been recorded in the materials before, but now they were all extinct, and a storm suddenly rose in his heart, and he stammered: "This, this is impossible! Kai, Brother Kai, where did you collect these species?"

He Ling asked beside him: "Nan Nan, look at your surprised appearance, are these seedlings very rare?"

Zhang Nan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and explained in a somewhat dry voice: "Sister Ling, you don't know, where can these plants be described by two scarce ones! These seedlings are all rare plants that have been declared extinct or endangered on the earth by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. ”

"According to you, these plants are priceless!"

He Ling looked at the plants in the rattan basket with some suspicion, pointed to a few strange-shaped plants and asked, "Nan Nan, what kind of tree do you say this is, I seem to have seen it somewhere before." “

Zhang Nan glanced at it and said: "These are rock cypresses, which are unique to my country and are "national treasure" plants, which have been declared to have disappeared for more than 100 years, and later found sporadically in some places and survived, and were re-listed as a world-class critically endangered species by the World Conservation Union. “

"Iwabai?"

After He Ling heard this name, she frowned, and after thinking for a while, she suddenly exclaimed: "Oops, I remembered." There is such a bonsai in the VIP room of our Tianlong headquarters, which seems to be called Yanbai! It is said that the group bought it for more than 5 million yuan from an exhibition! The saplings planted in the pot are not as big as these few trees!"

He Ling said and turned his head and shouted at Ling Zikai: "Wow, Ling Zikai, you have made a fortune! There are a total of four rock cypress trees here, if you take them out and sell them, it will be more than 20 million yuan!"

Ling Zikai said disapprenorovingly: "He Ling, I said that you are also from a billionaire family, so much money will shock you like this, and if you spread it, you are not afraid of being laughed at!"

He Ling sneered and said, "Ling Zikai, listening to your big mouth, I think I am the richest man in the world!"

Ling Zikai didn't want to quarrel with her, so he turned his head to ignore her, looked at Lin Xing'an, who was holding the plant that was suspected to be an ancient Chinese fruit, and looked at it repeatedly, and said, "Uncle Lin, I picked it in a stream, can you recognize what plant it is?"

Lin Xing'an seemed to be in deep thought, and after being awakened by Ling Zikai's question, he raised his head and asked a little stunned, "What did you say?"

Before Ling Zikai could speak, Zhang Nan had already walked up to Lin Xing'an, looked at the plant in his hand, and exclaimed in disbelief: "Teacher, what kind of plant are you holding in your hand, why does it look like an ancient Chinese fruit?"

"Do you think it looks like an ancient Chinese fruit?"

Lin Xing'an glanced at Zhang Nan, then shook his head and said, "When I saw it, I also felt that it was very similar to the ancient Chinese fruit in those fossils, but, do you think this is possible?"

Zhang Nan nodded and said: "The ancient fruit of China is an ancient plant in the Cretaceous period, nearly 100 million years ago, and the plants of the same period have become fossils, how can it survive until now!"

"Your words are not convincing!"

Lin Xing'an said in a guiding tone: "It's not that there are no species left over from that period, like alder plants? It's just that after a long time, the species we see now are no longer in the original form, but have evolved to varying degrees. However, the plant in front of me still retains the state of ancient times, which is a bit contrary to the laws of nature. One has to wonder about its authenticity. Regardless of whether it is an ancient Chinese fruit or not, this is the first time I have seen this plant, and there is no doubt that it has high scientific research value. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Xingan turned his head to Ling Zikai and said, "Brother Ling, the surprise you brought me this time is too great!

It was the first time for Ling Zikai to see Lin Xing'an showing sincere gratitude to him, even when he invited him to establish a base in the forest farm, he was not as excited as he is now.

It seems that the weight of these collected plants in his mind is somewhat beyond his imagination.

"Uncle Lin, we don't have to be so polite to each other! as long as you think these plants are useful, you will have a chance to collect them in the future!"

Listening to the hidden meaning of Ling Zikai's words, it seemed that there were more unknown species in the Tiger Leaping Stream, Lin Xing'an felt a little regretful while being excited, if he could enter that mysterious place and see those dreamed things in person, even if it was worth leaving his old bones there.

Ling Zikai asked Lin Xing'an about the species they were collecting.

There are countless plant species in the original woodlands, and it is impossible to collect them all.

Lin Xing'an also knew that this was a huge project, and it could never be completed once in the mountains. You can't become a fat man by eating a meal, and the plants that Ling Zikai collected from the Tiger Leaping Stream have completely exceeded his expectations. He told Ling Zikai that the goal of entering the mountain this time had been completed and he could return to the forest farm.

Although Ling Zikai wanted to leave and return immediately, he saw that the sunset had already fallen on the hill, so he said, "Everyone has worked hard these days, so let's rest well for one night and leave tomorrow morning." ”

Seeing Su Guoer sitting in front of the tent, wiping the brand-new shotgun with a towel, he walked over and said with a smile: "Do you have some itchy hands?"

Su Guoer said sullenly: "What's the way to do it, this shotgun has been bought for half a month, and even the bullet hasn't been bored, and it's about to become a burning stick!"

"Okay, don't complain, make an exception today, let you have a gun addiction, go hunt a hare or something, treat everyone"

"Really?"

Su Guoer jumped up when he heard this, and after seeing Ling Zikai nodding, he immediately picked up his shotgun and ran into the nearby woods, for fear that Ling Zikai would regret it and disappear in a blink of an eye.

"Hey, you kid are in a hurry! Remember not to hit those protected animals. ”

Ling Zikai shouted in the direction where Su Guoer disappeared.

"Got it!"

Sugol's voice echoed through the forest, echoing through the mountains and forests for a long time.
