Chapter 282: Orchids
The reason why Zheng Si felt that the smell was familiar was because he had smelled a lot in the Eastern District compound, and he had smelled it a few days ago.
Following the smell, Zheng Si soon arrived at a steep slope, usually even if there are tour groups passing by, they will not approach this side, or they will only get close to take two cool photos from afar, and they will not go down, this place is too dangerous for people, and if you don't notice, you will roll down, and you will be seriously injured if you don't die.
However, for Zheng Si, this is nothing, when the cat has even climbed the wall in the past few years, are you still afraid of this kind of steep slope?
Standing on it, Zheng Si looked down first, and could see the clumps of grass leaves, which grew a little densely, and people who didn't understand it at first glance thought they were weeds. If Zheng Si hadn't smelled the fragrance of flowers, he wouldn't have been able to find it, and even if he saw it, he might not have thought of Old Man Lan's favorite flower.
It's just that why do you smell carefully but feel a little different from the flowers on Old Man Lan's side?
Puzzled, Zheng Si went down from the top, although the slope was steep, there were many rocks, etc., Zheng Si could easily climb down.
The old man likes orchids, and is famous for cultivating some precious varieties of orchids, and those who know the old man know that the old man's favorite is not the flower species of those who are hundreds of thousands of millions of expensive people, but the old man's favorite is the iron bone that many people who raise orchids at a relatively low price. Just like the name of Old Man Lan.
In the compound, everyone knows Professor Lan, who is very good at raising flowers, but now many people have forgotten Professor Lan's name - Lan Tiepin, perhaps because of the name, or for other reasons. Old man Lan prefers iron bones.
In addition to some areas in the south that are suitable for the growth of orchids, people who raise orchids in many places in China have such a feeling, the iron bone is diligent and lazy flowers, the leaves are long, but the flowers are rare to bloom, and some people have not seen the flowers for several years. However, the old man Lan is indeed a good hand at raising orchids, Zheng Si can smell the fragrance of iron bones orchids every year, maybe these are not the same plant in the same pot, but it does not affect Zheng Si's familiarity with this smell.
In the grass at the bottom of the slope, Zheng Si looked at it. Found the source of the floral scent. Somewhere in the grass. The erect flower leaves have five plain white flowers, and the appearance of the flowers is similar to that raised by the old man Lan, except for a little difference in color. Besides. These five plain white flowers also have a jade-like crystalline texture. The flowers in Old Man Bilan's place grow well, and the fragrance is different from that of Old Man Lan's, and it smells very pleasant.
Zheng Si didn't know anything about orchids. Even if he usually sees a lot, he doesn't bother to pay attention to it, he thinks that the leaves of orchids are similar, so he can only judge that this flower should be the same type as the old man Lan from the flowers in front of him. If Old Man Lan was here, he would be able to look at its varieties according to the leaf type, leaf pants and leaf quality, and speculate and judge what kind of flowers will bloom, etc., but unfortunately, Zheng Si doesn't understand anything.
I don't understand, I don't care much, he used to despise the old man Lan's obsession with orchids, isn't it just flowers, why is it so? Zheng Si stared at the flower in front of him, studying what attracted the flower.
A minute passes......
Five minutes passed......
Half an hour passed......
Another gust of mountain wind blew, and some fine stones fell from the top of the steep slope, falling on Zheng Si's head and feet.
Zheng sighed and came back to his senses, and unconsciously, he stared at the orchid in front of him for a long time.
This is not normal!
Zheng Si usually has no interest in flowers, even the pots that Old Man Lan sold at a high price Zheng Si have also been to see, but this kind of thing has never happened to look at flowers in a daze.
Taking two steps back, Zheng Si looked at the flower in front of him again, this time he didn't stare carefully, his eyes moved to the grass leaf next to the flower, Zheng Si walked up and sniffed, and pressed his nose on the leaf surface to sniff carefully, although the leaves looked the same, but the smell of the leaves seemed to be a little different from that of Old Man Lan.
Zheng Si had also sniffed those flowers and leaves carefully when he saw the sheriff nibbling on orchids and leaves at Chuhua University, so he remembered the smell of the leaves.
After sniffing, Zheng Si squatted in place and thought.
I always feel that this flower is strange, is it a new variety? Or are they those flowers that Zheng Si has never seen or smelled?
Otherwise, dig some points and go back to Old Man Lan to study?
But thinking of what Old Man Lan said, this kind of flower likes to live in groups, and the root system is still developed, what if the roots below are all connected together? Zheng Si didn't have the energy to dig it out a little bit. Looking at the flowering area, there is too much grass around, and it is estimated that it is difficult to dig. Zheng sighed for trouble.
You can't dig big ones, but you can dig small scattered ones.
Zheng Si walked around this large bush, walked to a place and sniffed it with his nose pressed on the page, which really made him find a lot of problems. The smell of grass leaves here is not exactly the same, some are similar to the smell of leaves in Old Man Lan's place, and some are the same as the leaves next to the flower just now.
Therefore, if Zheng Si wants to dig some back for Old Man Lan to study, he has to find the same flower as the one just now.
Looking around, Zheng Si found a rusty iron fork, and there were some instant noodle boxes and other garbage thrown here, presumably thrown here by tourists during Golden Week.
Zheng Si didn't have the heart to despise those littering guys, so he started digging seedlings.
For people like Zheng Si who don't usually pay attention to flowers and plants and don't understand flowers and plants, digging grass is a toss, if Old Man Lan sees how Zheng Si is rude digging grass, he will definitely raise his eyebrows and roar: It's nonsense!
While Zheng Si was trying to toss the flower seedlings, the two people who went to find the monkey at the duty station were talking to someone on the phone.
"I said don't worry, come and see, those monkeys are having fun with themselves again, it's really nothing...... Qi Dada? Qi Da is here, and he has a lot of fun with the other monkeys. ”
Qi Da looked at the caller with accusations in his eyes. Which eye saw it having fun?!
It's a pity that the caller couldn't understand Qi Dada's eyes at all, and still chatted with the person on the phone.
"Cats? I didn't see the black cat...... Okay, I'll pay attention, I see the notice to you. ”
At the hotel on the mountain, the innkeeper hung up the phone and told Pei Liang what he had just heard on the phone.
"Qi Dada didn't go to cause trouble? What a surprise. "Pei Liang still knows a lot about his own monkeys, but now he says that he hasn't seen cats. This one is weird.
"I guess I didn't catch up, that black coal is very slippery." Ermao isn't too worried.
"Let's go and see." Pei Liang still decided to go over and see for himself.
"Okay, I've had enough rest anyway." Ermao also got up.
Leaving the hotel, Pei Liang took Ermao and walked towards Qi Dada's side.
Zheng Si looked at the two seedlings that had been dug up, this was still what he removed from that large pile, and there were only five leaves, plus two new leaves below, barely seven leaves, and the roots under the two seedlings were broken, looking at the pitiful feeling. I don't know if these two seedlings will hang up.
The digging is all dug out. It's a pity to throw it here.
found a vine, put the seedling on his back, and Zheng Si ran up from the bottom of the slope.
When I got up the slope, one of the leaves broke. No way. The leaves are too long. Thirty or forty centimeters of leaves, Zheng Si didn't pay attention when he climbed the slope, and he was lucky enough to fold such a piece.
After going up. Zheng Si turned around and looked at the bottom of the slope, because of the angle, he couldn't see the flowers blooming below, and could only smell the fragrance from below from the occasional change in the mountain wind.
The change in the direction of the mountain, coupled with the fact that Zheng Si's cat nose is more sensitive than people's sense of smell, found here, in addition, the flowers here are not diligent in flowering, so even if some people know that there are orchids there on weekdays, they don't see them blooming, thinking that they are the same as the orchids raised by many people in the village whose prices are not high, and they feel that they can't take the risk of climbing and digging, anyway, they are not a valuable commodity.
Zheng Si also felt that it was not a valuable commodity, and he really didn't have much appreciation for flowers, so he didn't have a weak heart to toss the flower seedlings like this, so he left with his back.
Recognizing the direction and listening to the movements of the monkeys, Zheng sighed and walked over there.
When Zheng Si was about to return to the place where the monkeys were playing "baseball", he also heard human voices, including Ermao's shouting.
Zheng Si removed the seedlings on his back, put them aside, threw off the vines, and waited there.
After Ermao and the others found Qi Dada, they also quickly found Zheng Si.
"Hey, Black Coal, where did you pull the grass from?" Ermao came up and turned the two tossed grasses and said.
"Let's go, it's not too early, go down the mountain and go back." Pei Liang appeased Qi Dada, knowing that this guy was probably wronged, but fortunately, he didn't see any injuries on his body.
"Okay." Ermao answered, got up and prepared to leave, and then, found that the trouser leg was hooked and a hole was hooked.
looked down at the cat's paw that hooked his pants, turned around, and Ermao looked at Zheng sighed, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Zheng Si looked at the two seedlings.
"With it?" Ermao picked up the two seedlings, "This can't live, right?" ”
Anyway, it doesn't take much trouble to bring two seedlings, Gong Qin also found a bag to wrap the roots of the seedlings, regardless of whether it is useful or not, it looks better this way, and it is convenient to carry, saving a person who accidentally destroys the roots.
After going down the mountain, an old man in Pei Liang's family dealt with Zheng Si's two seedlings, he thought that Ermao found them from the mountain, and he also used a good small flower pot.
"Can this live?" After Ermao placed the black rice, he went downstairs and asked the old man who helped deal with it.
"It should be possible, this thing is easy to raise." The old man didn't care much.
"Do you think there's anything special about this grass?"
"It's nothing special, it's just a relatively common orchid, many people grow them here, and there are a lot of them in our yard." The old man said. They are a tourist area, and there are always people who move, and there are many people who go up the mountain, and there are people who go deeper, and they have never heard of any rare species of orchids to be found.
Ermao looked at the place pointed by the old man, it was really a lot, and it looked about the same, I couldn't understand why the cat would bring this grass back, was it to eat?
stayed here at Pei Liang's house for four days, Zheng Si went to see the orchids that were taken care of by the old man who accompanied the family every day, and it looked like they should be alive, so it was in vain for him to dig a lot.
After returning to Chuhua City, Ermao carried the pot of orchids that were not very good-looking and the precipitated photos upstairs to the Jiao family, and the Jiao family was just surprised, so they put the flowers on the balcony and raised them. (To be continued.) )
