Chapter 297: The Sand Fruit Tree
Now that we have walked this snakeskin road, we do not dare to delay for a moment, and continue to walk forward.
Strange to say, after walking some distance, not only was the snakeskin gone, but the trees on both sides of the road gradually began to flourish, and there were no snake caves on the hillside at all, and this place was like a military forbidden area, and no other creature could set foot here.
I was very puzzled but didn't ask, but Xiaoshun behind me couldn't help but run forward and asked Brother Haojie, "Master, why are there so many snakes here?" And I remember when I was in my hometown, snake molting was medicine, looking for a tree or something. ”
Brother Haojie smiled a little helplessly when he heard this: "Since ancient times, the dragon vein area has been full of aura, and these creatures can sense it by nature, so I estimate that these snakes will live here for generations and guard here, so the long snake dug up a few years ago is the ancestor of these little snakes." ”
"Because the Changbai Mountains are full of spiritual power, these snakes grow faster than those outside, and they have a longer lifespan, have you seen those slopes where the snakes molted their skin? There is not a single tree around, probably because these snakes are broken when they molt, so they will not grow trees, they have no choice but to forcibly molt on the ground. ”
"As for why there is so much vegetation here, but there are no snakes, I guess it's because we're getting closer and closer to that destination, so these snakes can also feel some kind of threat, or control, so they can't enter here, so this is a safe area for us!"
Scarface didn't say anything when he heard this, and after looking up and glancing at everyone, he found that everyone was tired.
It's no wonder that not to mention the long-distance travel, I have experienced such a dangerous thing just now, and when I relaxed, everyone was naturally very tired.
After looking up at the surroundings again, and making sure that there was no danger, Scarface spoke: "Why don't we rest in place for a while, let's go directly to the end of the road after resting, complete the task, and then we can go back the way we come!" ”
After listening to Scarface's words, Brother Haojie nodded in agreement.
So we all stopped, found a rock and sat down, I have to say that the scenery around us is really good, and the air is very fresh, I know that we are almost in the middle of the dragon vein, and our destination is probably there.
I don't know what exactly awaits us, but I always felt that the main event was just beginning.
On the way to rest, Scarface came to me, and after one look at me, he said, "I'm almost at my destination, it's all up to you, and my mission is almost complete." ”
After listening to his words, I didn't feel any deeper in my mind on Sunday, for some reason I always felt that Scarface must have been here before, and what he had been through, so he said such things.
And just after Blue Moon and I were swept away by the flood, Scarface found us in time and took us to safety, if that's all the way around, it's a coincidence.
Thinking of this, I didn't go around the bush and asked, "Have you been here before?" ”
Hearing this, Scarface showed a hint of imperceptible expression on his originally calm face, and after a twitch in the corner of his eye, he took out a cigarette and lit it lightly, without speaking.
Brother Haojie naturally heard our conversation, stepped forward and patted me on the shoulder, calling me aside.
Just when I thought that several people knew something and wanted to tell me the truth, he opened his mouth and said to me: "Little crane, you saw these things before but a drop in the bucket, and I haven't been inside from here, but I have known a lot of friends in society over the years, and I have heard a lot of rumors, and the next road is indeed very dangerous, so it is best for you and Blue Moon to follow behind me......"
After listening to Brother Haojie's words, I nodded, although I knew that what Brother Haojie said was true, but it was also obvious that he was dragging Scarface, and didn't want me to ask the truth, or even if I asked, there would be no answer, rather than everyone being unhappy, it was better to stop there.
I'm not an uninteresting person, and I know that as a soldier, some things are state secrets, and it won't do me any good to ask like this, so I don't bother to ask about it.
After resting for a while, we continued on our way.
The further back I went, the more shocked I became, knowing that we were in the depths of the Changbai Mountains, and there was no light here, but we seemed to have a faint light above our heads, and we could barely see the surroundings.
What surprised me even more was that the vegetation here was growing more and more as I walked back without any light, and I even saw a lot of towering trees that were as thick as a few people around.
It wasn't just me, all of us were amazed at what we saw.
As I walked, I saw a towering giant tree blocking the middle of the road.
The tree in front of him, several meters wide, blocked the entire road, and when I looked up along the thick trunk, I saw a dense layer of fruit at the top of the tree.
"This is the sand fruit tree!" Looking at the fruit above my head, I sighed.
The sand fruit tree is a northern fruit tree, and its fruit is similar to that of an apple, but it is smaller than an apple.
This kind of fruit tree, when I was a child in the rural areas of Northeast China, basically every household would plant one or two, but I have never seen it again after arriving in Shandong, I didn't expect to see it again this time, I actually saw such a towering giant tree, which really shocked me, and I couldn't help but sigh: "How many years will such a fruit tree grow!" ”
Scarface didn't speak, she looked down and saw that it was ripe, and fell to the ground, I shook my head, then put the gun on my back, took out the rope directly from the backpack and wrapped it around the trunk of the nearest tree, grabbed the rope and climbed up.
In fact, it's not that we can't climb the tree, but this tree is more than ten meters high, and there are no branches at a distance of four or five meters below, just a main trunk, so there is no room for grasping at all, and there is no rope to go up.
After climbing to the top, he first reached out and grabbed a sand fruit, wiped it and put it in his mouth and tasted it, and then nodded to us, signaling that these fruits can be eaten with confidence.
