Chapter 163: The Tiger Incident
In the tent, the old man's two sons and one grandson were listening to the secret of finding incense.
"When a tree is injured or eaten by insects, it will flow out of the sap to repair the wound, and there will be a lot of sap in the trunk near the wound, so much so that it will sink when it comes into contact with water. If the wood full of sap has a fragrance when it encounters fire, it is called agarwood!
Therefore, the agarwood tree is not a kind of tree! This is your grandfather's secret to raising a family! Ah Yi, don't tell others, understand?"
Ah Yi: "Ah Gong, don't worry! I promise to pass it on only to my son and not to my daughter!"
The old man was happy: "Ah Yi is smart! We call it a daughter-in-law, not a daughter! Tomorrow, Ah Gong will teach you to recognize trees!"
The test was done for three days, and finally the standard of three agarwood trees was determined. Of the 36 suspected tree species, only three meet the requirements!
"Ah Yi, the remaining thirty-three trees, you have to write down the location, and after ten or twenty years, there will be agarwood! This is the secret of our Xiangqiu family!" After completing the experiment, the old man passed on another skill.
After breakfast the next day, Old Man Qiu took his son and grandson and began to recognize the tree. When the guards heard that they were going to cut down trees today, they were all very happy.
At the end of the day, the old man arranged for his son and the guards to start cutting down the first agarwood. When the third tree was felled, the guards outside shouted, "Big worms!
These guards are also well-trained. Hearing the call, he immediately divided into a group to go out to answer, and the rest protected the old man.
Fortunately, they were found early, and the two tigers did not hurt anyone.
"Do you want to interfere?" Chen Lian, the little bird squatting on the tree, was a little entangled.
What about interference? If there is a powerful figure in the guard, it will indirectly change history.
Watching two tigers eating people in front of their eyes is really uncomfortable.
Alas, ignore history! Hold on to the present!
Two divine senses shot out from the left and right eyes of the small bird, reaching out to the brains of the two tigers.
The leader of the guard, surnamed Ruan, was at the front, and the crossbow in his hand was already wound. Because of the nervousness, my feet were shaking, my mouth was bitter, and my back was sweating.
If there is only one big worm, with a dozen guards, there is no need to be so nervous. But the mud horse is two big worms! They will fight one after the other! When did the big worm become so smart? Today is going to be unlucky! I wonder which unlucky egg will become the lunch of the big worm?
As the tiger slowly approached, all the guards were about to pee in fright.
Suddenly, the two tigers fell to the ground, whined twice, turned and left.
That's it? This big worm actually ran away!
The old man who was looking for incense knew how to be a man, and immediately said: "I am almost sixty years old, and I am afraid of people for the first time when I see a big insect." It is estimated that the momentum of our escort team scares the big insects. We have to go back and tell you the second master: the Ruan family's guards are too powerful! Especially the Ruan leader, the big worms don't dare to look at you!"
The old man's praise made all the guards come back to their senses! Yes! Confronting the two insects without hurting one of them is a proper reward!
"Oh! I don't dare to be it! Actually, I'm nervous too!" Leader Ruan humbled with joy.
For the rest of the time, everyone hurriedly cut down the last tree and removed the branches and trees that could not make incense, and it was over. The follow-up incense-making process, of course, has to go back to the Lu family to do it.
The Fragrance Seeking Team is gone, and the Singularity Birds Team is down!
"Alas, I hope those guards are ordinary people and won't change much history. Chen Lenovo was a little preoccupied.
"Don't worry, maybe without your interference, they would only be injured a little! Those crossbows are not vegetarian! Once the two tigers are injured, they will definitely run!"
"Now that the Nguyen family has arrived in Vietnam, they naturally have less to do with the Central Plains. If you want to change, it will change the history of Vietnam at most!"
"Besides, these guards are ordinary people! if they are injured, they will become the guards behind the door. Now that he is not injured, he will be the back janitor in twenty years at most. ”
A group of small birds have comforted the birds.
Thinking of the bird: "That's all it takes! It's really hard to see a tiger hurting people and being indifferent." ”
Remote sensing bird: "It turns out that this is how agarwood is formed! No wonder later generations have never heard of agarwood trees." ”
Chen Xuniao: "Isn't this similar to rosin and rubber! The boss is a papermaker, but rosin has seen it." ”
Knife Bird: "Are we going to move all these branches?"
Think of the bird: "These severed branches will surely wither! Take it all!"
Remote sensing bird: "I seem to have heard Old Man Qiu say that in ten or twenty years, other trees will also produce agarwood." Simply, let's take some branches from the other thirty-three trees!"
Lenovo Bird: "Well, I guess it's fine. Even if it turns into agarwood, these branches will still be thrown away. In addition, it may be useful to take a little root from these three trees. ”
Gathering the broken branches and broken roots together, the bird controlled the space ball in the ring and swallowed it in one gulp. The next thing is that Chen Mu and the Five Elements brothers are in charge. He only needs to maintain the concentration of innate aura in the space ball.
Thirty-one birds were mixed together again.
The logging team was lucky not to encounter a tiger. So, today I went south for another day. In the afternoon, in a valley, there was a discovery.
"Little Si'er! look, do you know?" the middle-aged man called the young man, pointed to a tree, and asked.
"I don't know!" Xiao Si'er is more realistic. I don't know, I don't know!
"How many of you?" the man asked the others.
"I don't know!"
"This is the top mahogany, the small-leaved red sandalwood! Because of the mahogany business, for fear that others will steal the job, when the goods are delivered, they are all cut off the branches, leaves, and peeled after a section of the tree pole.
Therefore, few of our Jianghuai carpenters know the small-leaved red sandalwood tree. I also followed your grandfather when I was a child, and I went into the Huainan palace to do carpentry, and I only saw the small leaf red sandalwood.
Rosewood microphylla will not grow only one tree alone, either it will not grow, or it will grow in one piece. In this valley, there may be a large number of small-leaved red sandalwood, you see.
The eldest starts with one, the second with two, the third with three, and the fourth with four. Let's see who is looking for more!" the strong man was happy in his heart, and organized a small competition for his sons.
The strong man turned to the leader of the guards and said, "Leader Ruan, can you divide everyone into five groups and protect a few of us to find mahogany?"
"Okay, no problem, I'll arrange it right away. "The leader of the Ruan also knows the severity. Whether the family can gain a foothold in Annan depends on whether the family can produce anything! And mahogany is the biggest reliance of the second master!
The logging team split into five teams and headed into the valley.
A flock of small birds, also divided into five small flocks, jumped and followed behind to watch the bustle.
"I wonder, why is it the same mahogany, Huanghuali will still be there in the future, but the small-leaved red sandalwood will be gone in the future?"
