114. 114, The Man-Eating Tree

Ever since the female soldiers fought the monkeys, the four sisters have gone their separate ways. The bearded company commander Qiu hugged Min Min away without saying a word, like a child in his arms, with a blank face. Li Lan was also picked up by her boyfriend, Yueyue and Xiao Zheng bandaged the wound on their feet, and the two supported each other and walked forward slowly. After the last, Hao Ruoxia also walked a while with Xiaochun in her arms, Xiaochun was afraid that Hao Ruoxia would have a lot of physical exertion and struggled to get off the ground, she stretched out her hand to Hao Ruoxia and asked Hao Ruoxia to lead her away.

After a while, Xiaochun looked back at the distant spring, still a little palpitating. Xiaochun is a strong girl, on the surface, she never seems to be afraid of difficulties, but in her heart she is actually as afraid as other girls, but she doesn't show it. Some aspects of her body are also abnormal, such as it has been almost two months, her menstruation has not yet shown the slightest sign, she is still a girl, and it is impossible for her to conceive a child. In the past, her periods were very punctual, with a difference of one or two days at most. This shows that her body is not normal, and coupled with this big battle with the monkeys, Xiaochun estimates that she has suffered internal injuries. She couldn't walk anymore, so she pulled Hao Ruoxia's hand and said, "Ruoxia, let's rest before leaving." "Well, okay", Hao Ruoxia said softly, he felt very sorry for the good girl in front of him, but Hao Ruoxia really couldn't walk anymore.

The two sat down with their backs to an ancient tree, which was so large that they couldn't reach each other's hands when they hugged each other. After sitting for a while, Xiaochun's mood was much better, and she joked with Hao Ruoxia: "Ruoxia, among our four sisters, if you are asked to choose, who will you choose to be your wife?" After speaking, he looked at Ruoxia's eyes slyly. Hao Ruoxia knew that she was making fun of herself, and deliberately said: "I have to think about this problem, you four sisters all look like fairies in the sky, Min Min is a cold beauty, Li Lan is enthusiastic, Yue Yue is young, and Ha Lu Ha is very good." Hao Ruoxia deliberately didn't say anything about Xiaochun, Xiaochun was slightly stimulated, she blushed and said, "Hehe, I can't see that you Hao Ruoxia is quite flowery."

"Hahaha, seeing that you are in a hurry, I am joking with you, if you want to choose someone to be your wife, let me choose a hundred times, I will choose you a hundred times", Hao Ruoxia saw that Xiaochun was anxious, and hurriedly expressed her position. Hao Ruoxia's two sentences Xiaochun loved to listen, she became happy and said, "Come, Ruoxia, sit next to me." Hao Ruoxia didn't sit down, he seemed to hear the sound of a hare or squirrel slipping by, he stood up, searched around, and there was no sound again. "Hey, Xiaochun, look, there's a big mouth in the tree behind you." Xiaochun was taken aback by Hao Ruoxia, she stood up in horror, turned around and saw that there was nothing. She looked at Ruoxia secretly.

"Come, take a step back, look at it again, is it like a big mouth", Ruoxia said with a tug of Xiaochun's hand, Xiaochun looked at the big tree, belch, there is really a big mouth the size of a basin on the big tree, and the big mouth is still black and rumbling, which looks quite scary.

"Hey, Xiaochun, is there a man-eating tree in the world?" Hao Ruoxia looked at Xiaochun's funny and cute expression, and casually found a topic. "Of course there is", Xiaochun read a lot of books about plants, she took Hao Ruoxia's hand, and said as she walked: "This strange tree has many long branches, some of which are dragged to the ground, like broken wires, if pedestrians do not pay attention to touching its branches, the branches will be tightly entangled, making it difficult for people to get out. ”

"The tree feeds itself on the carcasses of decaying people and animals. Despite its ferocity and horror, the locals are reluctant to cut it down and even try to protect it. Because the mucus secreted by this tree is an extremely valuable medicinal herb and industrial raw material, many local people rely on it for their livelihood and make a fortune from it. ”

"The book grows in dense primeval forests, and it is said that the Kachin people use the gelatinous juice secreted by the man-eating tree to treat long-lasting wounds, and the effect is still very significant, and they first feed it with fish. When it was full, it was too lazy to move, so it hurried to collect its sap. Xiaochun said the Tao, and Hao Ruoxia listened to it fascinated like a child.

Xiaochun's nose was very smart, she suddenly smelled a burst of orchid-like fragrance, and said vigilantly: "It's not good, there may be a man-eating plant called the sun wheel flower here." Hao Ruoxia felt that Xiaochun was lying to him, and asked rhetorically: "Really." "Quite possibly," we walked carefully, paused for a moment, and she added: "The scent of this sun-ring flower is far away, probably not far ahead."

After walking for five or six minutes, Hao Ruoxia also smelled the fragrance of orchids, he carefully picked up the weeds, and really saw a few very delicate flowers, its shape resembled gears, the leaves were generally about 1 meter long, and the flowers were scattered on the leaves. Xiaochun exclaimed: "Beware, this may be the man-eating Helhalo Flower." Hao Ruoxia looked at this plant carefully and couldn't help but gasp. I saw that those slender leaves stretched out like bird claws, and they were already covered with various insects, and the other leaves were also stained with a squirrel of two or three catties, and the squirrel seemed to be still struggling. Then I saw a huge spider next to it. Hao Ruoxia and Xiaochun hurriedly took a few steps back.

It turns out that this sunflower can give off an attractive orchid-like fragrance, which can be smelled from a distance. If someone is bewildered by the small and showy flowers or the fragrance of flowers, when they come up to pick them, they only need to touch them lightly, and whether they touch the flowers or leaves, those slender leaves will immediately stretch out like a bird's claws, dragging the person to the damp ground. At the same time, the large spider hiding next to the Hinawa flower, known as the black widow spider, quickly rushed to bite and eat the human body.

The spider's upper jaw has venomous glands that secrete a nervous toxin fluid that kills people when the venom enters the body. The carcass became food for the black spiders. After the black spider eats the human body, the feces excreted are a special nourishment for the sun-ring flower. Therefore, the sun wheel flower will do its best to hunt food for the black spider, they are embarrassed, wherever there is a sun wheel flower, there must be a man-eating black widow spider.

Savage Mountain is an unexplored primeval forest, and there are many unknown flora and fauna. I don't know if the officers and soldiers who entered the Savage Mountain died in this day wheel flower and black widow spider. Anyway, Xiaochun was so frightened that she had a nightmare that night, dreaming that she and Hao Ruoxia were entangled in this sun ring flower, and their bodies were eaten by the black widow spider little by little, which was extremely terrifying.
