Chapter 214: The Hollow Tree
After everyone had eaten a full meal, they began to move forward again. There is a relatively large river in front of it, called the Quqi River. Because these places are sparsely populated, there is no pollution at all. The river here is also very clear, and in many places it may only be half a meter deep, but if it is really two meters, it may be oversubmerged.
"Big brother, do you think we go up along the river, or do we go a long way?" Chu Jiaxiong asked.
"Go down the river! You don't have to run that far. Chu Jiaqiang replied. When others saw this clear river, they also had the same meaning and decided to take the waterway.
"Everyone, pay attention, don't tread water if you can, the water here is easy to confuse. It doesn't look deep, but it's not shallow. Although everyone is there, it will certainly not be drowned, but it is not good to get your clothes wet. Chu Jiaqiang commanded.
Others still want to step on the water, how cool is it? Hearing Chu Jiaqiang's words, he nodded slightly, but still stepped on the shallows by the river. There are a lot of pebbles here, and stepping on them is as comfortable as a foot massage.
On both sides of the river, you may see a silver-white waterfall rushing down from time to time, and the sound is monstrous. On the green hills, from time to time there are sounds of beasts and birds. It's all so primitive, without the slightest destruction, and without a trace of artificiality, so that everyone looks so natural and comfortable.
"Alas! I knew I was coming with my own sun hat. A beautiful woman fanned the straw hat in her hand and said in great distress. Who would have known that Chujiazhai was so backward and almost nothing. This straw hat was bought in the store on a temporary basis, and it was not in the name of his own beauty. Can't buy it yet.
"Uncle Chu, I saw a few little turtles! Help me catch it! "Little Bud was bouncing around in her father's arms. The little girl had a good eye, and soon saw a few little turtles crawling on a big rock in the middle of the river to bask in the sun.
Everyone looked along the little girl's fingers, and saw that the little turtles were diving one after another, obviously also discovering uninvited guests.
This river has the most river turtles, but it is not big, generally one slap or two palms. Chu Jiaqiang and others have been here before. But there was no catch, or no interest. There are also a lot of Chujiahe, why bother to seek the near and far?
Walking and walking. Only then did everyone realize that there were so many little turtles here that it was overwhelming.
"What kind of flower is this, it's beautiful!" A female tourist picked one of them. Look, everybody. I saw that the flowers were luxuriant, large and beautiful, and the color of the flowers was reddish-purple, or red and white.
Chu Jiaxiong and the others opened their mouths, but they still didn't speak. Those people also wanted to pick it, but when they saw the expressions of Chu Jiaxiong's people, they immediately stopped their hands.
"Ugh! What are your expressions? What's wrong with this flower? The female tourist asked.
"This flower is called a broken bowl flower, you should have heard of it, right? The folk saying is that when this flower is picked, the bowl will be broken when eating. Hehe! In fact, this is also bluffing, this kind of flower is the same as Yingshan red. It's edible. But the leaves of Yingshan red are poisonous, and the flowers that break the bowl flower are poisonous, but the toxicity is very light, and it will be fine if you eat less. It is precisely in this way that adults do not let their children eat by mistake. Trick the child into breaking the bowl if he picks it. Chu Jiaqiang said with a smile.
At first, he didn't believe it, but then he looked it up on the Internet and it turned out to be this reason. I had picked this flower myself before, but after being scolded, I became honest. It is said that there are children in the village who really responded and broke the bowl while eating. In Chu Jiaqiang's recognition, it must be a psychological effect, which made him panic and broke it accidentally.
"No wonder it's so beautiful and there are no insects to spoil it!" Li Quan took a few photos of the broken bowl flowers.
Xiao Yazi also wanted to go up and pick one, but was blocked by her mother, and said, "Didn't you hear what Uncle Chu said?" If you pick it, you will break the bowl. ”
"Uncle Chu also said that it was a lie to children, and this flower can be eaten." Xiao Yazi looked at his mother with his face held high, and his momentum was not admitting defeat at all.
When the others saw it, they all chuckled, but Chu Jiaqiang smiled bitterly, forgetting that there were children present.
"Does Big Brother still pick hawthorns?" Chu Jiaxiong looked at the hawthorn trees not far on both sides and asked.
In the past, they came here to pick hawthorns and go back to dip. When I first came, everyone was still very young, and I heard that there were a lot of hawthorns here, all of which were ownerless. These cars are all made by themselves, and they are very simple. As long as there is a glass bead wheel, it is not difficult, and it used to be one of the rich symbols of Chu Jiaqiang's generation.
But not long after the departure, everyone regretted it, there is no road here, and these mountain road carts can't be pushed. I had to carry the two of them, and halfway through, everyone finally couldn't help it, smashed the car with stones, and then took away the most precious glass bead wheel, and didn't want the rest. Anyway, except for the precious glass bead wheel, the others are made of wooden sticks, and at most a few iron nails are wasted.
"Hawthorn? There? Chu Jiaqiang hadn't opened his mouth yet, and the others had already shouted.
Chu Jiaqiang pointed to both sides: "There are a lot, I don't know how many years there are hawthorn trees here." Chu Jiaqiang once asked his second uncle this question, but he couldn't even answer it. It is said that when he was young, these hawthorn trees were already that big. I don't know if it's human or wild.
Everyone looked over and found that Chu Jiaqiang was referring to those trees twenty or thirty meters high, and they were also a little awe-inspiring. How to climb such a tall tree is a problem.
"How do you pick it?" Some people looked at the trees and sighed.
"Of course it's not climbing hawthorn trees, and those hawthorn trees can't be climbed. You can climb the trees next to you, and the branches of those hawthorn trees have already reached other trees anyway. Chu Jiaxiong said.
Everyone didn't worry about it anymore, and followed Chu Jiaxiong towards the hawthorn tree on the side. When we approached everyone, we were even more shocked, many of these trees were hugged by two or three people. Generally, there will be a few dwarf trees next to the big tree, which will surround the big tree like a satellite.
"I remember the tree as hollow." Chu Jiaqiang said, and then walked to the back, and saw a tree hole that a person could walk into, and when he walked into the tree hole and looked at it, he could see the blue sky.
Everyone was amazed, such trees are not nothing, they are definitely rare.
"What the hell did you dig up, and there was only a layer of bark left. This hawthorn tree is really hard! None of them will die. Many people were dumbfounded.
Chu Jiaqiang couldn't answer this question, it was like this when he came. At that time, there was still a swarm of bees inside, and one person found this tree hole and slipped in to see it, and the result was tragic. That guy was bitten very badly, and even Chu Jiaqiang and others also affected the pond fish. Later, of course, in order to take revenge, a fire was secretly built inside, and the swarm of bees was either burned to death or escaped completely.
Regardless of these people watching and taking pictures inside, Chu Jiaqiang and the others climbed the surrounding dwarf trees and shook the hawthorn down.
