Chapter 349: Agarwood Forest

There are still 20 monthly tickets left, and 100 will be added immediately, and the brothers who have the monthly pass can vote now, and the effect of voting at this time is the same as voting at the end of the month.

Han Peacock observed the traces around him, although two days had passed, the elephant's wound had not healed much, so in some places, Han Peacock still had some elephant blood.

When they arrived here, the wild animals became more abundant, and the small river became more dangerous, and Rajawa, who grew up in the city, immediately came over to ask Han Peacock's thoughts after learning about the situation.

After confirming that they would not return to the village for the next few days, Yamako Kuma, as a guide, immediately began to arrange lunch, and they had to hurry in the afternoon, in order to avoid accidents, the small river must not stay for a long time, so the lunch time is relatively tight.

Yamakokumar had a lot of experience living in the jungle, so he chose a small river, and the surrounding area was very open, which is rare in the jungle.

In the jungle, as long as the field of vision is wide, humans are not afraid of anything, even if the tiger who is the king of the jungle comes to drink water, he does not dare to provoke humans lightly.

But animals tend to be more patient than humans, so humans are afraid of being attacked by animals.

Yamankokuma chose such a place, which was safe and sound for a short time, but after a long time, he was afraid of being paralyzed and careless, and was attacked by some carnivores.

Since he didn't need to cook his own food, Han Peacock had the mind to hang out again.

Of course, the catkins all came down from the elephants, and Han Peacock also wanted to take a closer look at the surrounding environment.

Han Peacock walked around, and this circle was not small. This is rare in the jungle, he presents. This vacant lot, very strange.

The land is surrounded on three sides by a small river in a bend in the river, and the only part connected to the jungle is surrounded by a large small pond, so it can be said that the land is surrounded by water on all sides.

And in such a place, not a single tree grows, and there is not much grass. Han Peacock took a look at the land under his feet, the dark soil, it shouldn't be barren land, why doesn't grass grow here?

When Han Peacock walked to the outermost part, the trees he was here were actually different from the ones he had encountered before, with dark gray bark. With snakeskin lines, it is very conspicuous.

Han peacock plucks a leaf and looks closely, the leaf is leathery, round, and somewhat nearly obovate, 5-9 cm long. 2.8-6 cm wide, apex acute or acutely pointed with a short pointed tip, base broadly wedge-shaped, purplish-green above, shiny. The underside is pale green, glabrous on both sides. lateral veins 15-2o on each side, more pronounced below, minor veins slender, nearly parallel, inconspicuous, margins sometimes sparsely pubescent; The petiole is about 5-7 mm long and hairy.

There is also a fragrance smelling, such a tree, Han Peacock feels a little familiar.

When his brain began to run high, he quickly knew what it was, no wonder he looked familiar, but he didn't remember for a while, this is the Agarwood Tree of the Three Kingdoms.

Agarwood tree is produced in the tropics, it is not easy to grow, the formation of agarwood is even more difficult, agarwood trees are rare in China, only Hui, An and there are very few, now people are familiar with agarwood, most of them are from Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia and other places.

Although the agarwood of Ah Sanguo does not seem to go out, Ah Sanguo does have an agarwood tree, and it can be named separately, it is called Ah San Agarwood Tree.

Don't think that Ah San agarwood is not very out, just think that the agarwood produced by Ah Sanguo is a poor quality of secondary goods, and the fact is just the opposite, the agarwood produced by Ah Sanguo is very good, of course, this is also according to the amount of oil to divide the price, but Ah San agarwood generally has medium and upper quality.

Han Peacock looked at it, the surrounding environment is also suitable for the growth of agarwood trees, and the growth conditions of agarwood trees are really harsh to say harsh, and they are also very loose to say that they are relaxed.

Agarwood trees are generally born below 4oo meters above sea level, but they can also survive above 1ooo meters above sea level in the sea and south of China.

And the altitude here, although a bit high, is definitely only a thousand meters.

Generally, the distribution area of agarwood trees is located near and south of the Tropic of Capricorn, which is suitable for tropical and southern subtropical monsoon climates with high temperature, rainfall and humidity.

The average annual temperature is more than 19-2.

But it is also able to survive in extreme minimum temperatures, even at minus (-1.8)C.

The agarwood tree loves water, and the environment in which it grows is best in the annual precipitation of 16oo-24oo mm, the relative humidity is 8o-88%, and the water in this place is also very abundant.

Agarwood trees like moist and loose brick red soil or mountain yellow soil with thick soil layer and more humus, and mostly grow in mountain rainforests or semi-evergreen monsoon rainforests, and these conditions are also suitable, so it seems normal for an agarwood tree to grow here.

It is normal for an agarwood to grow here, but there are naturally abnormal places, and the growth of the agarwood tree here is very unsatisfactory, it can be said that it is crooked, and none of them are normal.

If one or two crooked-necked trees are spoken, or one or two are damaged, it is still a bit possible, but the destruction here is too strict, right?

Han Peacock looked at the agarwood trees that seemed to be ravaged by a hurricane, staggering, messy, and smashing each other, how to look at how it felt abnormal.

Of course, Han Peacock is not an idle egg, he cares about the destruction of the forest of Ah Sanguo, and he is worried about his wallet.

Because of the damaged agarwood trees, coupled with the semi-swampy environment here, it is simply a natural factory for making agarwood!

You must know that the agarwood tree after being injured can produce agarwood.

Agarwood is knotted in the agarwood tree, but a healthy agarwood tree will not produce agarwood out of thin air, and must be traumatized under certain circumstances, such as being injured by lightning, strong wind blowing, or animal and insect bites, artificial felling, etc., out of the plant's instinct will secrete resin (also an antibody) to make up for the wound.

During this period, the wound of the agarwood tree happened to be infected by a microorganism called the yellow-green fungus, which will metabolize adversity in order to survive tenaciously in the tree. It is a wonderful biochemical reaction process.

The antibodies of the tree itself and the yellow-green fungus and other substances that invade the tree are mixed together. Gradually, a compound called "benzylacetone" was produced, and with the deepening of the biochemical process, sesquiterpenes and chromoketones were formed, and the product of the mixture of these two major types of compounds was called "agarwood".

It can also be said that agarwood is a resin secreted by agarwood that is invaded and parasitic by fungi and begins to resist invasion by itself, which is equivalent to an "immunity" resistance process of the tree itself, and then a complex that has been deposited over many years.

It is neither classified as wood nor as a fungus. It belongs to the marginal discipline of wood and mycology, similar to Cordyceps. Therefore, it is not only a precious medicinal material, but also a top wood for wood carving crafts, which is now very rare.

The production areas of agarwood are mostly island countries such as Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean, and the growth period is mostly in 1oo~1ooo years, although there are also in the three countries of Agarwood, but it is rare.

There are usually three external triggers for the formation of agarwood: one is being eaten by insects. The trees gradually die, and the agarwood formed in this way is called "insect leakage", or "ant sinking".

Then there are natural disasters, such as lightning strikes, mudslides, landslides, etc. The trees are broken and then buried by the earth, or they are flooded by swamps, the former is called "earth sinking" and the latter is called "water sinking".

If there is no act of God. That ** is also counted, the agarwood tree is during the growth period. Broken by animals or artificially, and then buried by soil or swamp for a long time, the agarwood formed is also called water sinking or soil sinking.

If the agarwood encounters the above three conditions, it begins to produce agarwood, but the tree does not die, but continues to survive, and later the part that produces agarwood is mined, this type is called "live sinking or raw knot".

On the other hand, if the tree has been mellowed for enough time after death, it is called "dead sinking." maturation".

"Inverted frame" belongs to the dead sinking, which is the incense of the tree after death, and after hundreds of thousands of years of sun and rain in the same place, it finally becomes a strange fragrance.

Because of the incense, the agarwood itself does not rot.

In either case, the small piece of agarwood trees near the small swamp that Han Peacock is present has a high probability of agarwood.

Therefore, he didn't care about looking for the two elephants, I don't know if there is a legendary elephant tomb, but the agarwood here is not fake, and it is better to get the immediate benefits.

After Han Peacock's careful observation, he soon had a harvest, this piece of "agarwood" is from the head of an old agarwood tree, such agarwood is the easiest to collect, because the wood of the agarwood tree is very loose, so Han Peacock used a knife, a dig, he made a piece of light.

Removed some of the wood outside, exposing a black wooden block, looking at the hardwood block in his hand, this is agarwood, although this agarwood is not big, but it is rich in oil.

Seeing that there were still a lot of trees on the tree, Han Peacock chiseled it down in large pieces, and then carefully shoveled out the oil-free part, leaving the oily part.

Because of the high oil content, high density of incense, and hard wood, it sinks when it is launched, and it is for this reason that this resin is called "agarwood".

After walking around, Han Peacock took a look at all the agarwood trees around, and there was only one place where the agarwood that could be collected lightly.

Han Peacock looked at this batch of agarwood trees that were crooked, he didn't believe that there was only such a little agarwood, judging from the appearance here, no matter what these agarwood trees had encountered, they had suffered great damage.

From the fact that some of the tall agarwood trees are half-buried in the mud swamp, it is known that they have at least ever encountered mudslides.

Since it is a mudslide, it will definitely be collided with stones and other things, and as long as there is damage, these agarwood trees may produce incense.

But even if you know that there are agarwood in these agarwood trees, how can you pick them?

"What are you doing here?" The food over there was ready, but no matter how they shouted, Han Peacock just didn't react.

Because they can clearly see Han Peacock, they are not worried, but this kind of thing is too strange.

So the catkins, who were a little worried, walked over directly.

Han Peacock was startled, and when he looked up, he saw the catkins: "Why are you here?" Come, look at what I have found. ”

"You shouldn't be called whatever you want, it's time for us to eat." Liu Fu walked over and looked at the black thing in Han Peacock's hand curiously: "This is the baby you are talking about?" ”

Han Peacock said: "Don't get too close, this is agarwood, which is not good for pregnant women and babies." ”

"Agarwood? Agarwood is not musk. The smell of natural agarwood is good for the body, but it is not suitable to be in that kind of smell for a long time, the extreme must be reversed, and the right amount is good for the body and the fetus. Liu Wu disdainful shì Han peacock said.

Han Peacock smiled: "No matter what it is, this thing is harmful when it smells long, agarwood can invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, and can make people's qi and blood flow smoothly, which is not good for pregnant women." ”

"I'm a doctor, I know better than you what is harmful to me, natural agarwood can be smelled, as long as you don't eat it, because agarwood is to help the strong but not to help the weak, if the body is weak, it is not replenished." The catkins glanced at Han Peacock, took a piece of agarwood directly, put it in front of his nose and smelled it.

After smelling it, Liu Wu saw that Han Peacock was worried, so he directly stuffed it to Han Peacock: "The taste is not very strong, but it is very mellow, this is black agarwood, right?" ”

Han Peacock said: "It should be Wushen, I really didn't expect that the first time we came out, we didn't find the small-leaved red sandalwood stump, but found the agarwood tree of Ah Sanguo, which is really not bright in the east and bright in the west." ”

"Okay, the agarwood has also been found, let's go eat!" Liu Wu pulled Han Peacock and left, she was very hungry recently.

Because there are elephants, Han Peacock has a lot of daily necessities to prepare, and there are a lot of them, of course, there are also a lot of storage in his Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, but it is not necessary, and he has no intention of taking out those things to use.

But even so, they carried a lot of vegetables, rice, meat, dried vegetables, and so on.

Since I want to go as far as I can, lunch at noon is simple.

They directly put everything in a marching pot and boiled it and made a big pot of porridge with meat.

After eating, Han Peacock stopped everyone who wanted to pack up their things and leave: "You don't have to pack up your things, put up the tent, we won't leave today, Han Xing, can you get through the phone here?" Sue the people of the village, the location of our campsite today. ”

Han Xing had already seen Han Peacock's actions just now, although he didn't know what happened to Han Peacock, since the big boss had ordered it, he did it, so he directly picked up the phone and went to the side to make a call.

Han Peacock said again: "Rajawa, you ask Shanko Kuma, can we camp here, do we need to change places?" “

Rajava quickly said: "It's no problem at all, Shankokuma said, as long as you are careful to guard against the cheetah's sneak attack, it will be completely fine." “

At this time, Han Peacock heard the little girl named Nilmara say a few words.

Rajava said with a smile, "Nilmara said that with her elephant here, we don't have to worry about being attacked by wild beasts. ”
