Crazy Six and his cousin both had unusually solemn expressions, sometimes looking at the wild vegetables, and the red, amphibian underneath the wild vegetables, and sometimes looking in the direction of the yard.

Now that the sun is setting in the west, the late autumn sun has faded from the scorching heat, leaving only warmth, shining on us, making us feel a little lazy.

"We've been dealing with amphibians for a long time, and we know that one of their characteristics is that they are diurnal and nocturnal, so they don't come out during the day, especially in this sunny weather, they don't come out, but where do they hide? Why are they surrounding us? Are you going to kill us? Also, we moved a lot the other night, but we never met an amphibian, why is that? ”

Xiao Lei's questions are actually questions in our hearts, but except for the madman Liu and his cousin, no one can answer these questions. But the madman six and his cousin were also frowning and didn't say a word, and it seems that they didn't understand many questions.

But think about it at night, there are so many amphibious people here, around our yard, I can't help but have a cold war, those amphibious people's combat effectiveness, we have all seen it, their speed is terrifying, the attack is extremely sharp, if there are one or two, we can still deal with it, but if there are more, we are powerless to fight.

While we were talking, my cousin was still looking around with his hands behind his back, when suddenly he shouted, "Look, what's here?" ”

All of us were astonished, and immediately leaned over to look, and saw my cousin standing next to a boulder, and then pointed to the stone with his finger, and we looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that although the boulder was very large, it was nothing special, and such a boulder could be seen everywhere in the mountains, so what was so strange?

Not only me, but even Crazy Man Liu, Old Man Yuan, Professor Shan, and Mr. Chen, etc., were all at a loss.

Before we could ask, my cousin suddenly said, "Look carefully at the texture of this stone." ”

As he spoke, my cousin put his face close to the stone, and we, like him, put our faces close to the stone and carefully observed the texture on the stone, and something strange happened: when I looked at the stone from a few meters away, I did not see anything special about the texture of the stone; But when my face was very close to the stone, in the sunlight, I suddenly felt that the texture of the stone seemed to be a piece of cloth, and it was still a coarse cloth, and the fibers on it were all visible.

Not only that, but what is even more terrifying is that I even smell the smell of cloth, is this an illusion?

I tried to close my eyes, then shook my head vigorously, and took two steps back, and when I opened my eyes again to look at the stone, I found that it was back to normal—normal shape, normal texture, not a trace of the texture and smell of cloth at all. Is it my hallucination?

Before I could speak, I heard Kenya say, "It's strange, when you look at this stone closely, how can it have the texture of cloth, and when it is a little farther away, the stone is back to normal, what is going on?" When she said this, the others nodded their heads and looked at their cousin.

In this way, I realized that it was not my personal delusion, but that everyone has this phenomenon.

The cousin did not answer Kenya immediately, but picked up a dead branch from under his feet, and then asked Mr. Chen for a lighter, lit the dead branch, and then burned the stone with the lighted dead branch.

I saw that the place where the stone was burned slowly turned black, and there was a burnt smell! It was a burnt smell of burning cloth, and all of us were stunned to see this strange phenomenon.

My cousin looked stern, his brows furrowed even tighter, and the scorched part of the stone did not continue to burn, nor did a trace of smoke come out, which was a little different from burning a cloth. My cousin silently looked down, and we knew that he was looking at the yard below the hillside.

After about five minutes, my cousin said slowly: "Isn't this stone very strange, from a distance, it is no different from ordinary stones, but when you look closely, you find that the stone has the texture of cloth, isn't it too incredible?" ”

Hearing my cousin say this, everyone nodded their heads again and again, and my cousin continued: "Actually, it is not a stone at all, but a plant, more precisely, it is a tree." ”

Tree? How can it be a tree? We've never seen or heard of such a tree, and no matter how strange it is, it doesn't look like a stone, and if my cousin says it's a large fungus, we think it's a little more acceptable.

After hearing this, Madman Six stared at the stone, turned his hands behind his back, circled around the stone a few times, and suddenly as if he thought of something, he turned his head suddenly, looked at his cousin, and said, "Is this the so-called 'stone tree'?" ”

Hearing what the madman six said, his cousin nodded slightly, "I think it should be, this kind of tree can be regarded as the world's greatest miracle, the classification standard of modern botanology and zoology is established by Westerners, and all the animals and plants found now can find corresponding classifications, but only this stone tree is very special."

First of all, this kind of tree has never appeared in other parts of the world, only during the Republic of China, there was a Western botanical expert, came to our area to investigate, only to find this stone tree for the first time, and was extremely shocked, took photos, and also took samples, but unfortunately, this botanist when returning to his country, when passing through Shanghai, contracted a serious illness, died in China, the samples he collected are also missing, but the manuscript and photos were published in the West, and caused controversy in the academic community, many authoritative botanists, all deny the existence of this stone tree.

Because this stone tree is really so strange, you have all seen, it is not like any tree, it looks like it has no trunk, no leaves, no flowers, no fruit, the surface is like a stone, why is it called a tree?

Because its cells are plant cells, not stone structures, and the texture is extremely dense and firm. Therefore, it can be judged that it is a plant, and there are slight differences in the structure of its cells in different parts.

Although its cells are plant cells, they are very different from ordinary plant cells, both in terms of structure and cell lifespan, and even these cells can be dormant for a long time, and this dormancy time is calculated in hundreds of years, the reason why we see it now as a stone is because this tree is now in a dormant state, if it is not in a dormant state, it may also grow strange leaves, as well as flowers, etc. ”

After listening to my cousin's explanation, we still haven't come back to our senses, is there really such a weird stone tree in the world?

But my cousin tried it with a dead branch just now, and when we looked closer, we did find that it had a texture like cloth, which shows that this thing that looks like a stone is definitely not a stone.

"Cousin, how did you find out that this is not an ordinary stone? How did you know about this tree? Sister Li asked curiously on the side.

The cousin nodded slightly and explained: "Well, this is a long story, let me briefly say it, the texture of this stone tree is extremely hard, even compared with stone, it is not inferior, not only the hardness and color are like stones, but even the density is similar to stones, so it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to find, but unlike stones, this kind of stone trees are afraid of fire."

I heard about this kind of stone tree from my master, he saw this kind of stone tree, it was purely accidental, it was a big mountain fire a few decades ago, burned thousands of acres of woodland, and the fire was less and bigger, fortunately, on the second day of the fire, it began to rain heavily, and this rainy weather, it lasted for about ten days, before the mountain fire was extinguished, and the people in our mountain felt that it was a fairy apparition, and also held a grand sacrifice ceremony in the county town to thank God.

After waiting for about a month, my master went into the mountains to inspect the burned forest area, and on the edge of the fire, he found an extremely strange scene - a huge rock that had been half charred. How can a stone be scorched? My master felt very strange, so he walked over and took a closer look at the stone, and then he realized that it was not an ordinary stone, and since it was not a stone, what was it?

This aroused his curiosity, so he chiseled a piece from the strange thing and sent it to Shanghai for examination—why should he send it to Shanghai for examination? As you all know, his hometown is from Shanghai, and he has a relative, who happens to be a botanist, and when the relative examined it, he was shocked, because he knew that this was the legendary stone tree, but it was a period of ten years of turmoil, and normal research could not be carried out, and this astonishing discovery was lost, and even the samples collected by the master, as well as the charred stone tree, were soon gone.

But through this matter, Master has an in-depth understanding of this kind of stone tree, and also read the relevant information, but since then, he has never seen it again, but because he has seen it with his own eyes, Master has an in-depth understanding of the various characteristics of this kind of stone tree, and he told me that the texture of this stone tree is very special, and when you look at it within a foot, you can find that its texture is very similar to cloth, but if you are a little farther away, you can't see this texture, which may be caused by the special reflective effect of its surface.

In addition, this stone has a faint smell of fennel, and in addition, about four or five meters away around it, there will be a circle of almost circular protrusions, which are its roots, and combined with these characteristics, I can see that this stone is actually a stone tree. ”

After my cousin's detailed explanation, we knew what was going on, but we came to find amphibians, and we didn't expect to find this strange stone tree, and what we didn't expect was that this stone tree was actually related to amphibians.
