Chapter 179: The Giant Tree Flock of Birds
After eating the strawberries, the little guy lay lazily on Zhang Taiping's shoulder and didn't want to move. Zhang Taiping returned along the same route. When they returned to the valley, the four of them were still observing what was being recorded, and it was close to noon.
"Where's Uncle Qian?" Zhang Taiping saw that only Wang Gui was sitting next to him, so he asked.
"Teacher Shao said that they continued to study here at noon, and they also wanted to set up a tent here at night to observe overnight. Uncle Qian went to prepare for the overnight stay here, and got some food by the way. Let me watch here. ”
Seeing that the four of them were discussing the development seriously, they didn't bother, but sat next to Wang Gui and chatted casually with Wang Gui.
It didn't take long for the old man to come back, he went to the wooden house to get two tents, and carried the pots on his back, and a big bag with some dry food and spices.
After eating something, the four of them entered into an intense observation and study, which was almost like forgetting to sleep and eat. Old man Qian and Wang Gui began to set up tents and set traps or warning things around the tents.
The rich old man was here, and the two of them were enough to arrange everything, so Zhang Taiping didn't blindly participate in it, leaving Ah Huang to be the caretaker here, and he himself took the lion to say hello to everyone and walked towards the depths of the valley. The last time I came, I just walked around the periphery and looked for a few orchids and left, but I don't know what the valley looks like.
The further you went, the closer the mountain wall came closer, and at last only one person was left to pass through, and above the mountain wall was densely packed with caves of various sizes. Due to the passage of time, Zhang Taiping could no longer tell whether this was natural or man-made.
Xiao Xi, who had rested on Zhang Taiping's shoulder for a long time, thought that Zhang Taiping was advancing too slowly, and flew forward with a chirp, leaving only the lion to follow Zhang Taiping honestly. I don't know what kind of situation is inside, I am afraid that Xiaoxi will encounter any danger after entering suddenly, Zhang Taiping also walked fast.
Dozens of meters of mountain wall passage at the end of the sudden opening, this passage connects the inside and outside, giving people the feeling of a gourd in the middle is small and the two ends are large.
The environment inside is very different from the outside. If the butterfly valley outside gives a soft feeling, then it feels sharp, and the surrounding mountain walls seem to have been split by a sharp sword, smooth and straight up and down.
The place resembled a bucket with a layer of grass and unknown flowers underneath. There are no tall trees in it, and with Zhang Taiping's eyesight, he can basically see the situation in the Ke Yijiang Valley at a glance. I don't have any support, and I don't know where Xiaoxi has gone.
Just when Zhang Taiping was strange, Xiaoxi flew out of the southernmost side as if he appeared out of thin air, and after hiding on Zhang Taiping's shoulder, he was happier than when he found ginseng. Zhang Taiping understood that the little guy might have discovered something. Hurry up and run after it* to the stone wall to the south.
Let's just say that looking at the news, it seems to have appeared out of thin air just now, and it turns out that there is a cave under the mountain wall. After Xiaoxi got in, he chirped to Zhang Taiping, who was still observing, and motioned for him to hurry up. Zhang Taiping smiled and bent down slightly to step in, the passage is still very long, but because of the smooth stone wall and the good light, it is not dark inside. When he got to the middle, there were two stone rooms on both sides, and Zhang Taiping was busy keeping up with Xiaoxi and didn't have time to go in to take a look.
After a few minutes, I finally came out of the cave, but it was like I had arrived in heaven. Even Zhang Taiping's big heart was a little surprised, this place is simply a paradise.
The most surprising thing is that there is a towering ancient tree growing here, Zhang Taiping roughly estimated that maybe more than a dozen people in the past could open their arms together to hug this huge banyan tree. Huge banyan trees like this usually grow on the edge of water, and in this place surrounded by mountains, it can only be said that there must be enough water under the ground to nourish this giant tree.
The thick branches could afford to build a house on it. The canopy of the trees covered the sky like a curtain, and the noisy sound of birdsong could be heard from inside. Apparently this is a paradise for birds.
As soon as Xiaoxi entered, she excitedly plunged into the giant tree, and the birds inside began to make noise for a while, and gradually subsided.
Xiao Jin had been following Zhang Taiping all along, and now he suddenly disappeared Zhang Taiping's figure, chirped anxiously in the sky, and then slowly fell towards the big tree. As a result, the birds that had just calmed down in the giant tree boiled and exploded completely. Just because so many of these birds can coexist peacefully doesn't mean that the eagles can coexist together. Their innate identity makes it impossible for them to coexist peacefully.
I only heard the buzzing sound, countless birds flew out of the giant tree and scattered in all directions, and thousands of birds flew together in the sky, which was not a spectacular scene. Most of the birds fled, but only one strange bird, which was about the size of Xiaoxi but had a two-inch-long pointed beak, did not run away, but attacked Xiaojin.
Zhang Taiping couldn't name the birds, it seems that they are very warlike, and it is possible that this is the time to lay eggs and hatch the next generation. Some birds are like this, they usually look timid and cowardly, and they will run away when they encounter a strong enemy, but once it is time to hatch the next generation, they will become extremely fierce and brave, and even natural enemies dare to fight.
In fact, the eagle is the overlord in the sky, but it does not mean that it can be truly invincible in the sky. Like this, it is difficult for Xiao Jinjiu, a bird with a fast body, flexible body, and a constant sharp beak and strong attack power.
If there are one or two, they can quickly tear with their sharp claws, but such a large group comes up and fights in groups, they don't attack you anywhere else, they just shoot towards the eyes like sharp arrows, Xiao Jin is also invincible with two fists and four hands, and after tearing two of them, he can only flee in the wilderness.
Just when the group of strange birds wanted to continue the pursuit, Xiaoxi's chirping sound came from the giant tree, and the birds stopped and turned around and fell towards the giant tree.
Then there was Xiaoxi's angry chirping, as if to reprimand the birds for not listening to its commands. Zhang Taiping was surprised how Xiaoxi had such a great authority among this group of birds, and they did not have any major similarities in appearance, if they were similar, they were only similar in size, not like close relatives.
After a while, Xiaoxi flew out of the big tree and landed on Zhang Taiping's shoulder, still a little indignant. Zhang Taiping felt amused, and took out a few strawberries from the space to comfort it.
Xiao Jin landed from the edge of the tree and flew to Zhang Taiping's outstretched arm. The strange bird in the giant tree showed signs of rioting again, and Xiaoxi chirped again before it quieted down. Zhang Taiping stroked Xiaojin's feathers and thanked him for his concern for his master.
After sending Xiao Jin into the sky, Zhang Taiping began to carefully examine the situation under the giant tree.
The tree is a paradise for birds, but it is the nemesis of other plants, and the trunk and branches cover the sky and the vitality of other plants below. The ground was covered with a green layer of moss, and all that remained was a large flower except for the small saplings that grew from the big trees.
The fact that this flower can survive even though other plants can hardly survive shows that it must be extraordinary.
Zhang Taiping squatted in front of a plant and looked at it carefully, the leaves were not normal green, but the kind of green that was scarce and close to translucent, a bit like jade. Some have already bloomed, while others are just seedlings. The size of the flowers varies, but the largest is the size of an old bowl. Zhang Taiping accidentally touched a leaf, and a surprising scene appeared, the leaf that Zhang Taiping had touched was automatically rolled up like a mimosa.
Zhang Taiping was curious, this flower was so shy, and gently touched the other leaves with his hand, and they all curled up one by one, leaving only the purple transparent flower with the big mouth of the bowl at the top. Gently touching the dreamlike flower with your fingertips, it shrank inward layer by layer like the leaves, and finally shrunk into a bud.
After a while, Zhang Taiping didn't make any movement, and the curled leaves below stretched out one by one, and the bud also opened quickly like an epiphany.
Zhang Taiping was happy when he saw the hunt, and he also intuitively felt that this kind of flower would definitely cause a sensation or sell it at a good price. Dozens of plants were dug up and planted in the space. The lion next to him was also playful, running around and touching the flowers one by one with the tip of his nose, watching them curl up and unfold, and having fun.
After digging up the flowers, Zhang Taiping took out a shovel from the space and dug up two small trees one foot thick from the edge of the giant tree. Then move into space. Zhang Taiping wanted to move this giant tree directly into the space, but unfortunately it was impossible not to dig out the land, if he did, just looking at the size of the courtyard above, you could imagine how complex and huge the root system underneath was, just by virtue of his own not knowing that he was going to dig until the Year of the Monkey, so he wisely gave up this unrealistic idea. He plans to grow these two trees in the space like a giant tree like the outside, and then transplant them to the edge of the pond at home. If possible, build some more cabins in the sky on top of it. Oh, but it is the most romantic, and it can attract people to play.
Without Xiao Jin's name nearby, the large flock of birds of all colors that had just flown away flew back again, and the scene of revival of the giant tree was restored.
With her amazing wisdom, Xiao Xi was like a fish in water, constantly interspersing the branches of the giant tree, and everywhere it was like a star coming, and the birds in that place were boiling and chirping and chirping.
