Ah Huang opened the way in front, and Zhang Taiping and Wang Peng followed behind and walked slowly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info//。 qΒ5、

"Big brother knows where there is Temu?" Wang Peng asked.

Zhang Taiping asked rhetorically: "Do you know where it is?" ”

Wang Peng nodded and said, "Of course I know, when I went to the mountain, I was once stained by the juice on the ironwood, and I itched on my body for many days after I went back, so I remember that tree." ”

"Okay, you can lead the way for us in front."

Although ironwood is not all over the mountains in the Qinling Mountains, it is not very rare and can be encountered from time to time. Under the leadership of Wang Peng, he arrived at an iron tree after a while.

"This is it." Wang Peng said that he wanted to reach out and pat the body of the tree, but when his hand was in the air, he reacted that this could not be touched with his body, so he withdrew his hand and kicked it with his foot. The body of the tree shook and fell, and a few strings of five spirits fell.

Zhang Taiping looked upward, and the five-meter-high ironwood canopy was crawling with vines, and there were strings of overly red Wuling'er hanging on it.

"Huh? And Wuling'er! Wang Peng picked up a string from the ground and said.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "At this time, Wuling'er has already dried up, and I can't eat it."

Wang Peng picked one and put it in his mouth, tasted it, and spit it out and said: "Sure enough, I can't eat it, it looks red and bright, but the inside is shriveled and has no taste." ”

Zhang Taiping found a stick to break the vines attached to the tree first, and it would be easy to cut them down later.

Wang Peng turned around beside the tree and said, "How can I get this back to him when the time comes?" Covered in yellow juice. ”

Zhang Taiping said: "You go and get some long grass, and then weave some grass curtains and wrap them up." ”

"This will work!" Wang Peng patted his head and said, "Why didn't I think of it?" It's still the big brother's brain. ”

Zhang Taiping shook his head with a smile. When Wang Peng went over to cut the grass, he took a saw and began to cut the trees.

This kind of wood is harder than steel, and it is not easy to cut with an axe, but it is much easier to see with a saw. Zhang Taiping found a comfortable place to sit down, kicked on the tree to make it easier to exert his strength, and sawed the calf-thick iron wood until only a shallow trace was still connected. Put away the saw, stand up and kick the tree with his foot, and fall in the opposite direction.

Carefully remove the vines that tangle around it, and then sawn off the branches on it, leaving only a four-meter-long calf-thick trunk.

The sawn branches were put into the space while Wang Peng was not paying attention, and he went back to cultivate some ironwood on the mountain that gave the space.

When Wang Peng came back with a large bundle of grass on his back, Zhang Taiping had already packed up.

"It's over so soon?" Wang Peng asked, putting the grass on the ground.

"What's so hard about this, just cut it off and put it down, of course it's fast."

The two of them sat down and weaved the grass cut back by Wang Peng into a straw curtain, which everyone in the mountains would do, but it was just a matter of whether they were skilled or not.

After wrapping the main trunk, Zhang Taiping did not even let go of the small branches, the nature of ironwood is special, and it may be used when making some small objects in the future.

After packing up, he picked up the log and called out to Ah Huang, who was wandering around the surrounding bushes, and then returned the way he came. Today I came mainly to cut an iron tree, and there was nothing else to do, so I didn't want to go around in the mountains.

Wang Peng, who was carrying the tools, said, "Big brother, I'll help you carry it." ”

"No need, this is only one or two hundred pounds, not very heavy, I can do it alone, and it is difficult for two people to carry it on the mountain." Zhang Taiping shook his head and said.

"Why is the eldest brother so powerful? It's like the overlord of Chu, if I carry two hundred pounds of things, it won't be so easy, and I won't be able to carry it back. "The manpower in the mountains is not small, but if you can walk a few miles with more than 200 pounds of things, it is unusual.

Zhang Taiping looked at him with a smile and said, "I haven't seen my mouth become so sweet today?" All know the compliment. ”

Wang Peng scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Sister Zhuang asked me to say more good things and praise people when I see them." also let me read some books every night, and my mother was also by the side to help, what kind of person we are, it's not that I don't know, this is really killing us. As he spoke, he showed a distressed expression on his clothes.

Of course, Zhang Taiping understands Wang Peng's temperament, and it would be strange if he could read the book, but he still said: "Your Sister Zhuang and Aunt Wang are both for your good, reading more books can make you understand more truth, and you won't be confused when you encounter trouble." ”

Wang Peng also knew his own situation, smashed his mouth and said: "This reading is useless, and I still don't remember anything when I am in a hurry." Why don't the eldest brother go and tell Sister Zhuang and my mother about reading? ”

Zhang Taiping scolded with a smile: "You have only been reading for a few days, how do you know that it has no effect?" I won't talk about this matter, this is the ardent hope of your sister Zhuang Wangfu Jackie Chan and Aunt Wang Wang's son Jackie Chan! Ha ha. In the end, Zhang Taiping couldn't help laughing.

Wang Peng said with a bitter face: "I can't become a dragon if I read it again." ”

Zhang Taiping ignored his bitter gourd face, changed the topic and asked, "How many months has the child been?" ”

Hearing this, the bitterness on Wang Peng's face disappeared, replaced by excitement and joy: "It's been six months, and it is said that I was pregnant in October, and now it is more than August in the lunar calendar, and it will be a few days after the Chinese New Year." ”

Zhang Taiping said: "It doesn't matter if it's a few days after the Chinese New Year, there is just no work, everyone is idle, and you and your mother are easy to take care of." ”

"Hmm!" Wang Peng nodded, and then asked Zhang Taiping, "Big brother, what name do you say you should give this child?" ”

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "You are the father of the child, and the name is naturally chosen by you." ”

Wang Peng scratched his head and said, "I have thought about it a lot, but I have been rejected by Sister Zhuang, and I can't think of a good name." ”

"What are your names? Speak up and listen. ”

"Wang Fu, Wang Jun"

Zhang Taiping shook his head, these names are too cheesy, no wonder Zhuang Yu disagrees. said: "You go back and read more books, find a name on the book that has both meaning and sound, it is better to find it yourself than to be told to you." ”

Just when the two were talking and laughing, Ah Huang, who was walking in front, suddenly barked and threw himself out.

Zhang Taiping and Wang Peng put down the things in their hands when they heard the voice, and quickly followed.

As soon as he ran into the forest, he saw Ah Huang chasing a small earthy yellow animal and running towards the middle of the forest.

"It's a Wong Tai Sin!" Wang Peng shouted as he ran.

Zhang Taiping also saw clearly what Ah Huang was chasing, a shiny earthy yellow fur, and his tail was pulled straight by the air flow with the rapid running, which was a fight with the squirrel's tail, but it was not as fluffy and beautiful as the squirrel's tail.

Seeing that it was a weasel Zhang Taiping was not interested, the meat of this thing was sour, rough and unbearable, and the fur on his body was a good thing, but he was not short of this.

When the weasel ran to the bottom of the big tree, he saw that he was about to be pounced by Ah Huang, but he suddenly raised his tail and let out a stinky fart with a bow.

The nose of the big dog is already sensitive, and Ah Huang has a special physique, so he is even more sensitive to smell, and suddenly asked A strong smell, Ah Huang instinctively moved to the side with a slow speed. Then the weasel swooped up the tree.

When Ah Huang reacted, the weasel was already standing firmly on the trunk of the tree, Ah Huang would not go up the tree even if he had a thousand abilities on the ground, so he could only watch the weasel above the big tree under the tree under the tree and wagged his tail slowly, and glanced at Ah Huang under the tree as if he was provocative, before disappearing into the trees in a few jumps.

Weasels, like many weasels, have odorous glands that excrete odors and paralyze their enemies when threatened.

After the weasel disappears, the effect of its stinky fart is revealed. This stinky fart must contain some irritating substances that can stimulate people's senses, and Ah Huang squatted on the ground and sneezed incessantly, and tears secreted from the corners of his eyes.

"Haven't I seen this guy go up a tree before?" Wang Peng ran under the tree and said. However, as soon as he took a breath, he pinched his nose and hurriedly ran to the place where Zhang Taiping was standing more than ten meters away. Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "Don't you see what Ah Huang has become, and he still runs there?" ”

"Gross! Vomit! Wang Peng retched a few times and didn't spit anything, straightened up, spat and said, "Fuck, it stinks!" How can this shit let out such a stinky fart? ”

This unpreparedness really disgusted Wang Peng, this is still the smell that escapes into the air, which shows how painful Ah Huang is now.

After Wang Peng was not unwell, Zhang Taiping listened to the voice, identified the direction, and led Ah Huang to a small stream. Without Zhang Taiping to say, Ah Huang put his head into the water and shook it vigorously.

He lifted his head out of the water and shook it, and it took two more sneezes to see that it got better.

"I'll wash my face too, it's fucking disgusting." Wang Peng also put his head into the water and washed his face. After washing, he complained and said, "Come for nothing, if you know that this thing is not coming, it will not come, and it will have no effect if you catch it." ”

Zhang Taiping said: "Okay, let's go back, the axe and saw are still being thrown over there." ”

When the two walked back the same way they came, Zhang Taiping suddenly stopped and said, "Wait a minute, I'll take a look at this tree." ”

Wang Peng stopped and asked, "What tree?" ”

"Let's see." Zhang Taiping walked towards a tree full of small flowers.

The two of them were in a hurry just now, but they didn't see that there was a tree here with flowers blooming at the top.

"Good fellow, what kind of tree is this? The flowers are different from others, but like a pine tower. Wang Peng pointed to the beige flower clusters at the top of the tree that resembled pine towers, but they were much larger than pine towers.

"It should be a flowering iron tree!" Zhang Taiping also replied with some surprise.

"Iron Tree?" Wang Peng was puzzled: "Isn't the one we sawed down first an iron tree?" Let's call this an iron tree? ”

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said: "It's different, we sawed down ironwood instead of ironwood, this is ironwood, although it is only a word difference, but it is the difference between cloud and mud." The same is that the body of the tree is as hard as iron. ”

Iron tree, also known as fire-sheltering banana. Because the trunk of the tree is as hard as iron, it likes iron-containing fertilizers, so it is named iron tree. In addition, the iron tree is also called anchovy because the branches and leaves resemble the tail of a phoenix, and the trunk resembles the trunk of a plantain or a pine tree.

Zhang Taiping looked around the iron tree again and sighed: "I didn't expect to see a flowering iron tree in the mountains in the north, it's really rare!" ”

"Is it unusual for this tree to bloom?" Wang Peng asked.

Zhang Taiping replied: "Of course it's strange. Wang Ji of the Ming Dynasty said in the "Junzitang Daily Inquiry Hand Mirror" that "there is a proverb between Wu and Zhejiang, and when it is difficult to achieve things, the clouds must be iron-clad trees to bloom." This shows how difficult it is for the iron tree to bloom. ”

Wang Peng scratched his scalp and said embarrassedly: "I don't understand." Big brother, how do you know this? ”

"I saw it in a book." Zhang Taiping waved his hand, knowing that he really meant to him that he was playing the piano to him, so he said simply and easily, "The flowering of the iron tree is often irregular, and it is not easy to see the flowering, so there is a saying that the iron tree blooms for a thousand years, and it blooms less." ”

"So little?" Wang Peng understood this time, which means that this tree may not bloom once in decades and years.

Zhang Taiping paused and said, "Of course, that's just the statement in the book. If cultivated properly, a 15-20-year-old tree can bloom once a few years. In the south, it is generally planted in the garden, and if the conditions are right, it can bloom every year, and the flowering period can be as long as 1 month. If it is transplanted to the north and planted, due to the cold and dry climate, the growth will be very slow, and the flowering will become relatively rare. So this tree is mainly difficult to flowering in the north. ”

Wang Peng nodded as if he didn't understand, and asked, "Big brother saw this in that book?" I'll go back and see. ”

Zhang Taiping said casually: "This knowledge is easy to find on the Internet, don't you have a computer at home now, don't go out all day after you go back, accompany your daughter-in-law more at home, and read the information on the Internet in your spare time." ”

Wang Peng nodded and said that he had listened.

Iron trees generally bloom male flowers from June to August, and female flowers from October to November. It is dioecious, and the flowering period is inconsistent, and it is not easy to receive seeds in the north. So Zhang Taiping hit the idea on this iron tree.

It is one of the oldest tree species in the world. The iron tree is simple in shape, the stem is hard as iron, the body is beautiful, the top has large feather leaves, it is smooth and bright, the oil is green and lovely, and it is evergreen in all seasons. Bonsai can be arranged in courtyards and indoors, and is a precious foliage plant. The cycad old stem is covered with traces of fallen leaves, spotted like fish scales, and has a unique charm. If the pot is accompanied by a stone, it is more elegant. The most important thing is that the flowering of iron trees in the north is definitely another thing that attracts curiosity, and transplanting it into the manor can increase the connotation of the manor and attract more visitors.

In fact, as long as the temperature and other conditions are right, the iron tree can bloom every year!

And Zhang Taiping is the most sure of this so-called "suitable" condition, as long as there is space spring water, even in the desert is a suitable environment. So Zhang Taiping is going to transplant this iron tree back and let it bloom every year!

At the moment, he said to Wang Peng: "Go and get something and help dig this tree back." ”

Wang Peng went over and fetched the axes, saws, shovels, and other tools that the two had thrown on the ground, and the two began to draw circles around the tree.

"Draw a little bigger." Zhang Taiping said to Wang Peng.

"Is this tree root that big?" Wang Peng felt that the circle he had drawn was big enough.

Zhang Taiping said: "It's not small, do you know how old this tree is?" Don't look at its small size, but its age is definitely not low, and the root system underneath must be huge. ”

Wang Peng remembered what Zhang Taiping just said, "The iron tree blooms every year", and he slurped his tongue and said, "There won't be a thousand years, right?" ”

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said: "That's not it, but there must be more than a hundred years." Try not to touch the roots of the tree when digging, and touch the flowers on it while touching them, the most precious thing about this tree is the flowers on the tree. ”

Wang Peng answered, and he began to dig up in the coming year. The base underneath is really huge, two meters square.

When he went back, Zhang Taiping carried a tree on each shoulder, especially the tree with roots that he dug up later, although there was no soil on it, the weight was definitely not light, and Zhang Taiping carried the two trees and walked easily.

This strength made Wang Peng next to him envious.
