Digging trees at the top of the mountain, the sun climbed overhead, Ye Chen opened his backpack to eat something, and continued.

On the top of the cliff, about the size of six or seven football fields, two of the three ancient tea trees were dug out, and the remaining one was almost gone.

"Ye Chen......"

"Handsome ......"

"Boss Ye!"

"Ye Chen......"

In the distance, Ye Chen heard the shout, quickly sped up his movements, dug out the last big tea tree, put it into the space, and ran to the edge of the cliff to poke his head out: "Hey, above." ”

On a cliff dozens of meters high, Ye Chen poked out his head and shouted, startling the people below.

Li Zhi raised his head and looked angry: "What are you doing up there? ”

"Pluck a few tea trees. Ye Chen said and pointed in the direction of his right hand: "There is a hillside over there." ”

Ye Chen got up and went to the hillside, and Li Zhi also led a large group to the bottom of the hillside, almost a steep slope of a cliff, seventy or eighty degrees, ancient shrubs grew on the hillside, and moss grew on the trunks of the shrubs......

Ye Chen picked up the bushes and came down, almost a hundred meters, that is, the height of a thirty or forty-story building.

"What are you doing? Running out alone, people think you're lost. Li Zhi was so angry that he almost shouted, he really regarded Ye Chen as a relative and junior.

"I'm very familiar with this area, so go up and dig up a few tea trees. Ye Chen held a bundle of tea trees in one hand and said, "I am familiar here, there are seven or eight football fields on the top of the mountain, and they are flat, and they don't seem to be naturally formed." ”

"You...... The city plans to protect the wild tea trees in the Mengshan Reserve......" Li Zhi glared at Ye Chen, and looked at the ancient tea tree expert as he spoke: "Fortunately, the documents have not come down." ”

"Mayor Li, patches of wild tea trees can't be dug up. The small-leaf tea species here has high research value and is likely to be one of the ancestor teas of the green tea small-leaf family. Patches of wild tea trees have high conservation value...... The tea trees in the rocky mountain have been dug up, and I hope that you can organize people to protect them as soon as possible. Professor Liang, an expert on ancient tea trees, looked at the bundles of tea trees in Ye Chen's hands and was heartbroken.

"The wild tea tree garden in Ranshi Mountain has always been taken care of and picked by Master Ye Chen. Except for a few ancient trees, the other tea trees are not on the protection list. Li Zhi had a cold face, and at the critical moment, he still helped Ye Chen speak, and said, "If you want to study, just study a few ancient trees." There are many wild tea trees, and there are also in the village, which is not uncommon. ”

Professor Liang was heartbroken, and his face was distressed.

"Luo Cheng, ask a few people to follow me up the mountain and pull out the trees. "Ye Chen is too lazy to Professor Bird Liang.

"Hey, you ......"

"The tea trees in the tea mountain were planted by my master, transplant them back, is it not illegal?" Indeed, he and his master climbed to the top of the mountain and planted two tea trees on it. I've only been here once, and I've only planted two. But not necessarily, maybe there are other tea trees transplanted by his old man.

Professor Zhao was not interested in these tea trees, but was interested in the artificial traces on the top of the mountain, and asked, "Xiao Chen, what is the situation on the top of the mountain?

"Well, it's like it's knife-cut, there's no top of the mountain, it's very flat. ”

Professor Zhao looked at the road Ye Chen came down, it was very steep, and it was not easy to climb up.

Near-cliff slopes......

"Take us up and have a look. Professor Zhao was nervous and clenched his fists. The archaeologists on the side were also excited, and the discovery was significant, and there were many signs that a large civilization existed here a long time ago. And there is also the legend of the discovery of bronzes......

"A few people will go up, and the others will wait below. ”

"Dashuai, take me up. Wang Liang said.

"I'm going up to ...... too"

Ye Chen gave Wang Liang a look and asked him to go first, while Ye Chen guided him beside him.

"Follow me, watch your step. ”

Professor Zhao organized a number of people, five students and five archaeologists, Luo Cheng and the four of them, and Professor Liang and Li Zhi, experts in ancient tea tree research, were behind.

"Xiao Chen, I'm not targeting you, it's better to cultivate it yourself than to dig up the ancient tea tree back. I know, there are a few 500-year-old tea trees on your tea mountain......"

Ye Chen held the bush with one hand, stretched out his hand and pulled Professor Liang, and said, "Professor Liang, you shouldn't report me for digging tea trees." ”

"What to report. The Camellia microphylla tree doesn't even have an official name...... I heard that you have registered a brand?Chenshan small leaf tea, which is not a bad name. ”

Wild tea tree is a national second-class protected tree species, also known as Pu'er tea, evergreen tree. Camellia microphylla is another variety, which belongs to the same tea category, but it is two different species from Pu'er tea, and it doesn't even have an official name. The tea trees that Ye Chen dug were all small shrubs.

It's also strange to talk about it, the small-leaf tea varieties in Ranshi Mountain seem to be two varieties. Some evergreen tree types, such as five thousand-year-old tea trees, and scattered large tea trees. The other part is the evergreen shrub type, which refers to those clumps that have no obvious trunk and are relatively short in a clumping state.

The top of the mountain is a wonder.

Standing on top of a solid rock platform, it seems that you can reach out and touch the blue sky. On one side are steep slopes overgrown with ancient shrubs, and on the other side are straight cliffs and abysses.

The cliff is steep and seems to have sunk into the inner wall. Standing on the side, his legs trembling and numb without obeying the call.

"It's beautiful, it's incredible. How did this place come about?" Wang Liang shouted loudly: "Dashuai, you often come to this place?"

"Hours later. Many of these on the top of the mountain were transplanted by my lord. Ye Chen said shamelessly. But it's really possible that some tea trees that don't look so old have obvious traces of artificiality. After all, in my memory, I planted two on the top of the mountain with my grandfather.

"Boss Ye, are all the tea trees here uprooted?" Luo Cheng asked. There are not many tea trees on the top of the mountain, forty or fifty, all of which are strange-shaped shrubs.

"I can't pull it out. Such a beautiful view, what a pity. Professor Liang stopped them and said, "In the future, when the scenic spot is developed, the tea trees here can be contracted to private owners...... Xiao Chen, you are not bad for money, it's a big deal to contract it. ”

"You, enough is enough. Li Zhi glared at Ye Chen: "If you dig up indiscriminately, you may really go to prison." ”

Ye Chen smiled awkwardly: "Okay, if you don't dig, you won't dig." "Ye Chen dug a lot of tea trees on the top of the mountain, judging from the traces, there are more than thirty.

Professor Liang examined the traces left by the excavation, three of which were particularly large and obvious, which should be ancient shrub tea trees, and they were quite old, and they were dripping blood in distress. Strictly speaking, Ye Chen's behavior has been illegal.

"You are not lightly harmed in this place. Professor Liang looked at Ye Chen: "Can you recover?"

"By the way, this place has a name, and few people should know it......" Ye Chen sneered, deliberately diverting the topic.

"What a name. Professor Zhao walked over.

"Dragon Slaying Terrace. Ye Chen suddenly remembered the story that the master had told him, and then buried his head and searched for it on the ground.

When the old man told him a story, he carved these three words on the ground with a mountain opener, and said some other things...... By the way, it seems that there was something special that made me to the top of the mountain. Because of my young age, I don't remember it very clearly, and I even forgot how I got down the mountain in the end.

"Professor, we found something, a cigarette stick. Wang Liang and several of his classmates shouted.

"Cigarette stick...... Ye Chen suddenly raised his head: "My master's things." ”

"Everything is your master's ......," Wang Liangyi whispered. A small voice reached Ye Chen's ears.

Ye Chen glared at him, not paying attention.

Master Ye Chen has been smoking leaf cigarettes, and an old silver cigarette stick more than a meter long has never left his body. It has been less than a year since his death, and the old cigarette stick he carried with him has also disappeared.

"It's really a relic of Grandpa Ye Chen. Li Zhi took the cigarette stick in the past: "I recognize the cigarette stick." Master Ye Chen is very famous in the local area, and this old silver cigarette stick is Mr. Ye's belongings...... But ......" Li Zhi wanted to ask why this cigarette stick appeared here.

The place where Ye Chen's body was found was in the Troubled Times, and it was judged that it was an accident.

"Give. Li Zhi handed the cigarette stick to Ye Chen.

Master Ye loves Ye Chen, and he is famous for his love for ten miles and eight towns. The three sentences in the words are not separated, how is my eldest grandson, how is my eldest grandson......
