After walking for a while, you will come to the front of the small slope, which is full of low shrubs, because it is relatively weak, and the village does not look down on cutting firewood, preferring to go to the mountain west of the village to cut it.

There are no adults here, and children only come to play occasionally, so there is no way to climb the slope at all, and the ground is covered with shrub leaves or old branches.

At that time, Zhang Xiaojie's seven-year-old little arms and legs were almost impossible to climb. Fortunately, the slope is not too wide, and the edge can be detoured to the recess.

When Zhang Xiaojie came to the recess out of breath, she was a little surprised. I thought I would see a paradise, but it wasn't, but the plants here are much more lush than outside, and it seems to be more spiritual.

As for the noisy ghost in Zhang Xiaojie's mind, it is windless and automatically shows his existence.

I have never seen such a strange-looking gastrodia, originally gastrodia does not rely on photosynthesis to grow, so gastrodia has no green leaves, only a branch with small brown-red leaves on it, but now this one is too strange.

I saw that the windless automatic gastrodia that appeared in front of Zhang Xiaojie had leaves like fingers, and the color was also bright orange-red, and it was almost more than half a meter high, all reaching Zhang Xiaojie's chest.

"Are you Gastrodia?" Zhang Xiaojie looked at the conspicuous ghost in front of her and was speechless. The gastrodia in front of him seemed to be dancing with its teeth and claws, and its voice sounded in his head. "Of course! Uncle Ben is Gastrodia!! That's what the guy said!! ”

"Oh? That person? Zhang Xiaojie circled around its orange plant, and asked with some confusion about the person mentioned by Tianma twice, maybe it was a person.

"Hey......" The voice in his head first sighed in a milky voice, and seeing that Zhang Xiaojie didn't react, he said to himself, "When I was very young, it seemed that I had just grown three leaves, and a person once came to me, and he himself said that he was a medicine picker, and that I was gastrodia, a very precious medicinal material!" ”

The sound of showing off in her mind made Zhang Xiaojie a little speechless, and she couldn't help but think that my ability could communicate with plants?

"I thought he was going to catch me and eat me! Desperately told him not to catch me! But he didn't seem to hear me, and he didn't pay attention to me, but said that I was still young, and I would come back in a few years, but! How could I be so clever that he would come and catch me. ”

Zhang Xiaojie looked at the orange-red finger-like leaves in front of her and curled them up, as if she was clenching her fists, listening to the milky voice in her head, she couldn't help but be a little funny, this is obviously a plant, can it still run, but the next sentence in her mind made Zhang Xiaojie a little surprised.

"When I got to five leaves, I'll run, you see, I can walk! I just haven't seen anyone else who can walk like me, I'm really a genius, but I know you call us medicinal herbs. ”

Looking at the gastrodia in front of him, the corners of Zhang Xiaojie's mouth couldn't help twitching, could it be that Plants vs. Zombies couldn't do it! However, listening to the milky voice in her head, triumphant mixed with almost immutable loss, Zhang Xiaojie is not easy to express,

I could only comfort: "Maybe they're still young?" Thinking about it, Zhang Xiaojie thought of others, such as only the gastrodia in front of her had called her, and the others did not, so she couldn't help asking, "But you said medicinal materials?" What is the meaning? Can you hear something else talking? ”

"I don't know, this is also from people like you, I have been to the mountains, at that time I found that I don't know why I can understand what you say, and I am afraid that the medicine collector will come to catch me and run to the mountains, and it is good to start growing in the mountains, although some birds always want to eat me."

Speaking of this, Tianma's voice was a little angry and helpless, but seeing that Zhang Xiaojie had been staring at it, he continued:

"Later I found out that I could not show it at all, it was much better, at that time there were often people in the mountains who came to hunt or collect medicine, and I found that most of those who were taken away I could feel them and wanted to talk to them, but they still couldn't understand! I must be special! ”

Zhang Xiaojie's mind was full of Tianma's narcissistic praise, "But there are many more that I can communicate with, even if you don't pick it up, but it's okay to do so, because some of them say that they are poisonous!" ”

"But I hate rabbits the most in the mountains! They're always trying to gouge me up and eat me! The milky disgusted voice continued, "Of course, Uncle Ben doesn't hold grudges, but maybe you're right! I've been around for more than 200 years! ”

Zhang Xiaojie seemed to be able to see a little person straightening her chest in her mind, after all, the tree in front of her was doing this.

"Hey! But I'm weird, but you're definitely weirder than me! You see, for more than 200 years, only you can hear me, and no one else who looks like you can hear me, but I've tried many times, and I felt it as soon as you came! ”

What's going on with this tone that we're the same kind? Zhang Xiaojie thinks it's okay to be just a child now, otherwise the convulsions on her face must be very scary now......

"You called me last night, too? Then why did you call me? Aren't you afraid that I'll pick you? Zhang Xiaojie said with some evil voice.

"Yes...... Eat me? It won't be, right? After all, I feel close to you, I don't know why, hehe......" The leaf in front of him shrank and continued: "And I want you to do me a favor, I'll pay you afterwards, really!" ”

"Help? What's busy? I can't help if it's too complicated, you see I'm so small. Zhang Xiaojie felt the need to make it clear,

After all, the one in front of me claims to be more than 200 years old, and he can speak, he can be regarded as a monster at all, in case it is a fight, it is still forgotten, this is also the reason why Zhang Xiaojie saw that such a big gastrodia tree did not give birth to greed, and it is better to be cautious in the face of the unknown.

"I know, I know, we call you Xiao Miaomiao like this, and we won't embarrass you."

Hearing the voice in his head calling himself Xiao Miaomiao felt very subtle, but he had no choice but to listen to him continue.

"Uncle Ben has been living here since fifty years ago, firstly, because this was the place where I lived before, don't you humans say that the fallen leaves return to the roots! Although Uncle Ben will not die yet.

The second is to ask you to help, in fact, there is a small seedling here whose roots were bitten off by a rabbit and are going to die, I hope you let him play a role, after all, it is my kindred. Speaking of which, the milky voice is no longer arrogant, only some sadness.

"Do you want me to pick him up?" Zhang Xiaojie looked at the gastrodia in front of her, whose leaves were a little drooping, and asked.

"Yes, it's rare for me to see my kind, so I've been with him for fifty years, but he's still going to die, and now you can pick him." The milky voice also became muffled.

Looking at the gastrodia in front of her, Zhang Xiaojie couldn't help but feel a little sad, thinking of her sister who depended on her for her life.

But it's just a moment to cheer up again, after all, I've decided to live a good life, and I can cross it myself, maybe my sister is also in this world.

"Okay, but why can't I hear him?" Zhang Xiaojie decisively agreed.

"He's not like me, can you seriously feel it and take a look? Maybe it's okay, he said he can feel you, and he really wants to get close to you" Tianma said suspiciously, and even the leaves were humanely crooked.

"Okay, I'll try," said Zhang Xiaojie, closing her eyes and emptying her mind.

After emptying his thoughts, there was a faint voice in his mind except for the squeaky sound of Tianma, but he couldn't understand what he was saying, but he could feel his happy and affectionate emotions.

Zhang Xiaojie tried to ask in her heart if she was willing to go with her, and got a happy emotional response from that little Tianma.

Relieved, Zhang Xiaojie was ready to implement the idea she thought of when she saw the gastrodia tree in front of her......

ps: Ma Yuan: "You little seedlings, why don't you come to worship Uncle Ben's majestic and majestic figure?" ”
