Chapter 180: Red-crowned Crane

It was not early, Zhang Taiping was about to go back to the tent, and called Xiaoxi out of the giant tree. As he passed through the passage, Zhang Taiping stopped in front of the doors of the two stone houses. The valley inside was obviously a dead end, and the passage to the giant tree was carved out by hand, as were the two stone houses inside.

After Zhang Taiping entered the one, he couldn't help but admire the ability of the previous owner of this stone house. This stone house was carved out of the rocks, but there is a pool of clear water and a pool of lotus flowers growing in it, but there is no sign of decay in this season. The water in the pool can still ripple, indicating that it can still flow inside, and Zhang Taiping guessed that this is connected to the groundwater again. Come to think of it, it is inevitable that giant trees can grow and flourish, so there must be a dark river underneath here.

What was even more surprising was that there was a piece of rotten wood in the stone house, but there was a plant growing on the rotten wood without any signs of life. It's really strange to say that this Zhuling profession is really strange, he doesn't know much about Ganoderma lucidum, and in his impression, Lingzhi is mostly like a rising cloud. However, this one resembles a knight riding a horse and shooting arrows.

Zhang Taiping vaguely remembered that he had heard of this kind of Ganoderma lucidum there, but he really couldn't remember it. He couldn't remember, so he put this strange-shaped Lingzhi into the space along with the rotten wood that it relied on to grow. Originally, the requirements for the growth environment of Ganoderma lucidum are more stringent than ginseng, and the Ganoderma lucidum grown in a shady place like a stone house will definitely not be able to grow elsewhere, but the magic and power of the space lies in the fact that no matter what kind of plant you are, it can grow in the best state in the space.

Xiao Xi is quite displeased with this kind of environment, so after a while, he began to shout, the stone house is not big, except for the lotus flowers in the pool, everything else can be collected at a glance, and there is nothing else. As for the pool, Zhang Taiping couldn't see anything and didn't want to go down rashly, so he took Xiaoxi out of this stone house and entered another one.

Unlike the previous one, this one was very dry, and there was nothing else except a stone bed and a stone table, Zhang Taiping took a look at it and then retreated from it, still a little disappointed in his heart, and thought that he could gain something.

It belongs to the Zhongnan Mountain Range in the Qinling Mountains, and has been the place where hermits gather the most for thousands of years, and people often find signs that there were people living in this kind of cave that can live in the mountains. Even now, this is also the place with the most hermits, and there are more than 3,000 hermits known by unknown people. As for the real hermit Zhang Taiping, he has not yet encountered it, but the ruins have met two places.

Coming out of the stone wall, Xiao Jin, who was standing at the top of the mountain wall and waiting, let out a chirp and hovered into the air. The sky gradually darkened, and Zhang Taiping led the lion and Xiaoxi to hurry back.

When they returned to the tent, Mr. Shao and the four of them had temporarily called it a day, and they were preparing for the evening meal with Old Man Qian.

Seeing that Zhang Taiping was back, Old Man Qian asked a little blamed, "Where did you run away for half a day?" I've been gone for so long, and if I don't come back, I'm going to go to you with a shotgun. ”

"I'm walking around inside and I'm losing track of time."

"What's it like inside?" Shen Ming asked a little curiously.

Zhang Taiping said lightly: "It's nothing, from Butterfly Valley, you have to pass through a gorge that only allows one person to pass, behind is a meadow, surrounded by cliffs. ”

As soon as Shen Ming heard that there was nothing of interest, he didn't ask any more.

After dinner, the four of them turned on their flashlights and observed for more than two hours before entering the tent to rest. The next day, I observed it in the morning, and it was finally finished.

Mr. Shao carefully put the recorded things into his bag, and said to Zhang Taiping with a smile: "This mission is a successful completion. Can you go to that reservoir and have a look? ”

"As long as you're not tired and you still have the stamina, let's go." Zhang Taiping also wanted to go around.

After informing Old Man Qian and Wang Gui, the group began to pack their bags and tents. I don't come back after I left here.

In the cool afternoon, the water is rippling and the shore next to it is full of waterfowl.

"So many waterfowl." He Lin exclaimed first.

"Nature is really magical, who would have thought that there would be such a large reservoir in the midst of the group." Mr. Shao sighed. In general, it is difficult to store so much water in such mountains. Moreover, there are all kinds of fish and animals in the water, which means that this library has existed for a long time.

Shen Ming was busy using a camera to capture the beautiful scenery here.

He Lin took off his shoes and stretched his bare feet into the clear water, the cool water soaked his tired and painful feet, and it even had the effect of reducing fatigue, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Old man Qian said with a smile: "Little girl, you have to be careful, this reservoir is not safe, not only water snakes but also powerful carnivorous fish will hurt people." ”

Hearing that there was a water snake, He Lin immediately screamed and lifted the two smooth feet out of the water, and took two steps to the shore with his bare feet and shoes, and asked, "Is there really a water snake and a biting fish?" ”

"What am I lying to you for?" Old man Qian replied, "The last time I came, it was a fish that bit a big dog. ”

Old man Qian's flowers are not alarmist, most of the snakes on the ground will run away immediately when they see people, and there are few snakes that take the initiative to chase people and attack. But if you get to the water, the water snake not only attacks the ** strong but also the poisonous surname is not small, there must be a water snake in the reservoir in this kind of mountain, this is undoubted, in order to avoid any accidents, I kindly reminded it.

As if to verify Old Man Qian's words, a finger-thick water snake swam by not far away.

"Look, isn't that one?" The sharp-eyed old man pointed to the swimming water snake and asked He Lin to take a look.

After He Lin saw it, he felt goosebumps all over his body and shrank back. Although she also studies insects and deals with animals all day long, those are small animals, which basically do no harm to people, and she usually doesn't dare to have anything to fear. But this snake feels uncomfortable just thinking about it, let alone seeing it or even grabbing it in its hands. patted his chest and rejoiced: "Fortunately, Uncle Qian reminded me that I came out of the water." ”

When everyone was talking, schools of fish and birds flew over from the sky, hundreds of birds fell from the sky, and Shen Ming hurriedly took the camera to shoot this scene.

When Xiaoxi saw so many birds, he had already screamed excitedly and flew into the flock.

The two red-crowned cranes that had some friendship with Zhang Taiping last time recognized Zhang Taiping and slowly paced over with their wings in their hands.

"Look, those are two red-crowned cranes." He Lin whispered to everyone, afraid that the loud noise would scare away the two white and noble birds. Shen Ming also saw it and pointed the camera at the two red-crowned cranes.

Old man Qian said with a smile: "These two big birds have come to find Da Shuai again. ”

"Looking for him again?" He Lin knew that "Da Shuai" was Zhang Taiping's nickname, but she wondered how the word "again" in Old Man Qiao's words was explained.

"Don't look at the handsome man looks a little fierce, but he is quite animalistic, the last time I came, neither of these two big birds approached, just close to the handsome, and only ate the fish he handed over."

He Lin thought that he didn't look fierce, and a person who could get along with animals was not destined to be a person with a bad heart.

The two red-crowned cranes listened more than ten meters away from everyone and stopped moving forward. Zhang Taiping walked over, and two red-crowned cranes flapped their wings around him, looking very happy. Zhang Taiping took out a few strawberries from the space that he used to reward Xiaoxi from an angle that everyone couldn't see, which was ready to lure the two red-crowned cranes.

The two red-crowned cranes had almost no defense against Zhang Taiping, and when they saw that Zhang Taiping was feeding again, they immediately stretched out their slender and elegant necks, and pecked the strawberries on Zhang Taiping's hands with their long beaks.

Xiaoxi, that guy saw Zhang Taiping feeding two big birds and strawberries out of nowhere, flew over and stood on Zhang Taiping's shoulder, chirping a little angrily. This was originally my own thing, how did I let go of others.

Zhang Taiping is a little funny, the little guy is not big, but he is not small, and he completely regards the strawberries in Zhang Taipingkong's house as his private property.

Zhang Taiping took out a few more and fed them to it to calm it down, and when it was full, it proudly chirped a few times to the two red-crowned cranes to demonstrate, and then flew away to play. It's a child's surname now, and when I'm anxious for a while, I'm happy again after being appeased by adults, and it's still so playful.

Without Xiaoxi making trouble beside him, Zhang Taiping continued to cultivate a relationship with the two red-crowned cranes, and he wanted to take the two red-crowned cranes into the space and take them away together when he left.

He Lin crept over from behind, and the two red-crowned cranes didn't react much when they saw it. She just wanted to touch their smooth feathers, but she didn't expect to be pecked more and more, although it was not too heavy, but a large piece of red immediately appeared on the back of her delicate white hand.

He Lin waved her hands and said, "Ah, why don't they peck you and peck me?" ”

"They know each other in my back room." Zhang Taiping gently patted the wings of the two red-crowned cranes and motioned for He Lin to touch them this time.

"You won't peck me back, will you?" He Lin was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, but he still didn't dare to start.

"It's okay, you can try." Zhang Taiping gently patted the wings of the two big birds again to calm them down.

He Lin finally couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart, and risked being pecked again, and stretched out his hand to the feathers of a red-crowned crane. Seeing that he really didn't peck himself anymore, he hugged the red-crowned crane's body with both hands and asked Shen Ming to take a picture of himself. Girls love this white, harmless-looking animal.
