Chapter 22 Exploring the Ghost Forest, It's Hard to Plant Trees
I'm getting more and more curious about the thief swallower on the robot cat's small table lamp, I want to know whose it is, how it was attached to the table lamp, and whether this person is still alive.
It's a pity that the only insider, Sister-in-law Zhang, is silent about this, and I can only suppress this curiosity in my heart.
Call the fat man and ask him to bring the five small table lamps that are okay and can be used normally to Lin Na, and sure enough, those five are the ones that Lin Na originally gave to Su Qian.
My conjecture was further proven, and I felt as uncomfortable as a cat's paws.
But no matter how uncomfortable it is, you have to endure it, and you can't do everything quickly.
I disposed of all the remaining broken and unusable table lamps as garbage, leaving only seven of them still attached to the human soul and the seven spirits, and put them together with the robot cat small table lamp.
In this way, we just waited for the end of the holiday, and when Dean Qin of the Ghost Academy came to work, I would see if I could get some useful clues from him.
The matter of the small table lamp is over for the time being, and I should also go and complete the task assigned by Mr. Li, call Jinghan and them, and we entered the ghost forest of the school together.
I feel like I'm really on the "tree" bar these days, going to the children's special school to cross the woods, looking for Han Zhen's ghost to cross the woods in Xiyufeng, and now I still have to go through the woods to find a dragon claw locust.
But every time I enter the woods, there is still such an evil aura.
As legend has it, almost all the trees in this ghost forest are crooked-necked trees. No matter what kind of tree species, no matter how old the tree is, each tree will grow a thick branch horizontally at a height of two meters. Just put a stone under your feet. With two ropes on top of your head, it's definitely a great choice for hanging.
I don't know if anyone actually hanged themselves on these trees, but I just think it's nonsense to call this forest a "ghost forest", because I didn't see a ghost at all after walking around inside.
It was easy for us to find the locust claw, but the difficulty was to find a new two-year-old branch from the tree. Because it seems to me that the only things that grow on a tree are green leaves and dead leaves, and it is really difficult to tell the year of the branches. So, I came up with the stupidest way to do it, which was to break off a few branches that looked relatively tender. Then find someone who knows how to tell the difference.
The idea is good. But there is trouble with implementation.
When I was about to climb the tree and break the branches with the help of Liang Tianyu and them, I suddenly found that the trees here are all moving.
That's right, it really moves.
The first time I tried to climb up, I just got down to the intended position. My hand hadn't touched the branch I had chosen. A thick branch swept over it. Knocked me to the ground.
Such a strange situation allows us to finally see the uniqueness of the ghost forest. But if only that's it. There's nothing to be afraid of. I have seen that the thousand-year-old locust can automatically form a "tree prison", and the impact of this dragon claw locust on me is not great.
Patting my ass and standing up, I beckoned the fat man and Liang Tianyu to come over and ask them to climb a tree with me to distract the dragon's claw locust tree. In fact, in comparison, Li Su is definitely stronger than the fat man in terms of tree climbing kung fu, but it's a pity that I can't call this kid. In addition, there is Jinghan, but I can't let a girl climb a tree.
With that, the three of us chose our positions and started to climb up at the same time.
I thought there should be at least one success, but I overlooked the problem that there doesn't seem to be more than one branch on a tree, and no amount of people can distract it.
As a result, all three of us were dumped at the same time.
And it wasn't over being thrown off, more than a dozen rattans came out of nowhere around us, entangled our feet in minutes, and dragged us out of the woods directly, even Jing Han, who was the most skilled, was not spared.
I felt like I was the worst, they were just dragged out and I was thrown out.
It took me several laps on the hard concrete road to stabilize my figure, and when I looked up, I was more than twenty meters away from the ghost forest.
At this time, I really couldn't help it, and immediately opened my mouth and scolded: "Your uncle, what kind of broken ghost forest, isn't it just to break two branches, is it necessary to protect it like your life, what is the matter if you can die?" Liang Tianyu, didn't you say that you saw the school send someone in to prune the branches last week, how can they do it, but we can't?"
"Damn, how do I know!" Liang Tianyu was also so aggrieved that he slapped the soil on his body and responded: "I think that eighty percent of the trees in this ghost forest are managed by someone, and it is impossible for them to deal with people so clearly on their own." ”
"What does it mean to be in charge?"
"Of course, someone can control the trees. Think about what the ghost grove is for, it is used to separate the students of ordinary and special colleges. I don't believe that a few trees can be put together to see which student belongs to which college, and there must be someone behind this!"
"Are you sure? Does that mean that we were just thrown out, and it wasn't the trees themselves that did it, but someone manipulated it?"
"Pretty much. ”
"Damn, what kind of idle egg hurts!"
I grumbled angrily, but who knew that someone behind me would answer.
"Ahem, it's my ......"
There was a hint of vicissitudes in the voice, and at first glance it sounded like an old man speaking slowly, and there was nothing strange about it.
No wonder someone suddenly spoke behind me, but it still startled me, and when I turned my head suddenly, my heart was even more cold.
I saw that the person in front of me was wearing a green robe, holding a dragon head cane, with white hair on his head, and he looked old, but his eyes were bright, as if he could see through people's hearts.
Yang ...... Uncle Yang ......"
That's right, this person is the "ultimate force" Uncle Yang of the dormitory building of the Special Academy, and I seem to have scolded this Uncle Yang just now, and the other party really heard it.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Yang, I didn't know that you were in charge of this forest, I ...... I ......"
"Ahem, what does it matter if you know or don't know, this classmate, what were you doing in the ghost forest just now?"
"Uncle Yang, we want to break a two-year-old new branch of the dragon's claw locust. ”
"What is it for?"
"Plant trees. I am a student of the Spirit Academy, and Dean Li Xueqing gave me a task to plant a locust tree, which requires the grafting of two-year-old new branches of the dragon claw locust for planting."
"Oh, do you know how to plant trees?"
"I don't understand. ”
"I don't know how you plant, do you know what rootstock to choose, how to cut the ears, how to water and fertilize?"
"Uh......"
Uncle Yang asked this, I was stunned, and my brain turned several times before I realized, it seems that planting a tree is not as simple as I imagined. (To be continued......)
