Chapter 98 Fairy Treasure Land
This place looks like a primitive sub-forest. Very few people have come in, but there are still some traces of human activities.
Most of them are left by hikers or poachers.
Zhang An and Dahu brothers climbed to the top of Yingzui Cliff and stood on the eagle's mouth of Yingzui Cliff, looking at the river a few hundred meters below.
At this time, the mountain breeze blew, and he felt refreshed. There was only one feeling in his heart.
It is as vast as Feng Xu riding the wind, and as fluttering as if it is left alone in the world.
That’s probably it.
Looking northwest from Yingzui Cliff, you can also see the tall main peak of Wumeng Mountain in the distance.
Although from this side, the terrain is not that steep, on the contrary, it is somewhat gentle, but when you actually walk up, you will find that there is no normal mountain road in the mountain.
There are huge undulating rocks everywhere, winding and undulating. If you want to go up the mountain from here, you need to climb up and down these huge rocks.
Fortunately, Zhang An has already arrived where he wants to be and will not go any further inside.
If you continue walking, you might get lost in this mountain.
Later Zhang An followed the mountain guard in the village and only went to these places.
No matter how deep the mountain is, even the mountain guard who took Zhang An into the mountain with him at that time did not go very deep.
After sitting on the Yingzui Cliff for a long time, Zhang An deliberately calmed down and felt the huge ridge.
Big Tiger and Little Tiger seemed to be afraid of heights. They did not dare to follow Zhang An and sit on the edge of the cliff. Instead, they lay down not far from Zhang An.
After resting, Zhang An took his two dogs in the other direction from the edge of the steep cliff.
Because there are mostly exposed rocks on this side of the cliff, there is not much vegetation in this area.
After walking for a while, Zhang An came across a small stream with clear water and some small miscellaneous fish swimming in it.
It’s just that Zhang An knows the direction of this stream. It will flow along here to the edge of the cliff, and then converge from the steep cliff into the big river under the Yingzui Cliff.
If these small fish want to survive, they need to keep swimming upstream, or they need to find a place to settle under a big rock in the water. Otherwise, they will be washed away by the current and washed down the stream into the river hundreds of meters below.
After they were washed out, they might be blown away by the mountain wind before they even hit the ground. They wouldn't even have a chance to be broken into pieces, and they would be blown to the rocks nearby, waiting to be fed to the birds.
The big river under Yingzui Cliff is the largest tributary of the big river at the entrance of Changqing Village. The water will eventually converge into the Changqing River.
We walked up the creek for a long time, starting from the exposed rocky area and walking into the woods.
As the soil on the ground becomes more and more thick, there are also more plants and weeds on the ground. Wild flowers, unknown bushes, etc. are everywhere.
The further you go, the trees are getting taller and taller, and there are more and more types. Zhang An can see large tracts of golden dog ferns that can be seen everywhere here.
The golden retriever fern plant is quite tall, mainly because its branches and leaves are particularly long, and there are many golden hairs at the roots, making it look like a golden retriever dog.
It’s just that Zhang An doesn’t know why, such plants that can be seen everywhere, even many plants growing on the mountains near Changqing Village, have been listed on the national protection list in later generations.
Zhang An doesn’t know what it is used for, but the hairs on its roots are a good hemostatic drug.
When I was young, the children in the village went to the mountains to cut grass. If they accidentally cut their hands, they would rub the down on them to cover the wound, which would quickly stop the bleeding.
Anyway, no matter what kind of fern it is, it is called wolf chicken locally.
Zhang An and his two dogs were walking in the mountains and soon reached a slope.
There is a tall and straight Davidia tree growing here, which is something that does not exist on the mountains below.
Davidia involucrata is a relatively tall tree. Like Ginkgo, it is also one of the living fossils in the plant world.
Davidia wood is heavy and is the best material for construction. It can be used to make furniture and carving materials.
Moreover, it is also a unique tree species in my country. If Zhang An remembers correctly, it seems that in a few years, Davidia involucrata will become a national first-level protected plant, and it can be called the giant panda in the plant world.
Every year from April to May, that’s when they bloom.
The flowers of the involucrata tree are very beautiful. Two white petals of different sizes enclose a purple-red round stamen, which can be said to be very beautiful.
Every year when the involucrata tree is in bloom, you can see white flowers hanging upright on the branches, dancing in the breeze, like white doves spreading their wings. .
So the involucrata tree is also called the pigeon tree.
In the 1860s, Davidia involucrata was discovered in our country by a foreigner.
By the early twentieth century, it had been introduced to Europe.
Zhang An came a little late. If he had come in April or May, he would still have seen patches of pigeon flowers.
Davidia involucrata likes to grow in rainy and foggy mountainous areas. They like a cool and rainy climate. It will not work in places that are too dry, or in places where the temperature is too high or too hot. It will not work in places with poor land or alkaline soil. no.
So this determines the reason why Davidia involucrata cannot survive in other places or cannot grow even if it survives.
Moreover, the seed shell of Davidia involucrata is thick and hard, which greatly increases the difficulty of breeding Davidia involucrata in natural environment.
Moreover, the fruit drop phenomenon of Davidia involucrata trees is extremely serious, and few viable seeds are left.
After the seeds fall to the ground and wait for the seeds to break out of their shells, they are easily picked up by animals in the mountains and used as food.
In short, this thing is not only very picky about the environment, but its breeding conditions are also very strict.
Therefore, there are very few involucrata trees that can bloom normally, then bear fruit, then fall to the ground to germinate, and finally grow into a big tree.
Because of this, it becomes a giant panda-like existence.
However, it is a unique tree species unique to our country, just like the giant panda, and it is especially beautiful when it blooms.
These two points alone have covered up all its other problems. It is worth protecting.
Zhang An finally discovered something good, so naturally he would not miss it.
He searched under the Davidia tree for a long time and finally found some saplings of the Davidia tree.
Zhang An made up his mind to plant a batch in the space and find an opportunity to transplant them to the village.
With the magical effect of space, Zhang An doesn’t believe that they can’t survive in the village.
And there are more varieties in the space. When you need some good wood in the future, you will have one more choice.
Zhang An silently wrote down this place, and when the country announces that the Davidia involucrata tree has become a first-level protected plant, he will report it to the Forestry Bureau.
The provincial governor is here, and he will be quietly chopped down by those poachers when the time comes.
Most of this Davidia tree forest is more than ten meters high. It is definitely not easy to grow so big. If it can be protected well, it must be protected.
After finding some saplings, Zhang An no longer wanted anything here.
So I took the two Xiaohus through the forest and walked forward. The further you go, the more fallen leaves there are on the ground, many of them rotten.
“Wow~”
Zhang An, who was walking forward at the end of the field without paying any attention at all, was startled by Xiaohu who suddenly shouted.
Looking in the direction where Xiaohu saw it, a green spicy strip as thick as a thumb was coiled on a tree not far away.
No wonder Xiaohu suddenly gave an alert. It turned out that he had discovered Bamboo Leaf Green. Bamboo Leaf Green is extremely poisonous. If he is bitten, he will be gone if he is not rescued in time.
This guy has a big triangular head, is green all over, and has slightly red eyes and tail. They are often hidden on the branches, and you may not be able to spot it unless you look carefully.
Zhang An didn't want to destroy it, so he still didn't walk past it. Instead, he chose to go around it and change his route.
After Zhang An and Xiao Qing met by chance just now, their relaxed vigilance was raised again. When walking in the forest, they acted like they were watching all directions and listening in all directions.
However, Zhang An never met Xiaoqing again along the way, not even one of his relatives.
Instead, I found a large field of wild Ganoderma lucidum in the woods not far ahead, many of which were bigger than Zhang An's face, and even the largest ones were bigger than Zhang An's butt.
Zhang An looked at this piece of Ganoderma lucidum in a daze.
He knew there were Ganoderma lucidum here, but he didn’t know there would be so many and big Ganoderma lucidum.
In his last life, after he went into the mountains with the village walkers, he discovered many wild Ganoderma lucidum in this area.
But it is not so big, the number is far different.
Ginseng, deer antlers, and Ganoderma lucidum were all good things that he had heard others say in his previous life, but he never expected that he would have them all in this life.
Especially the largest ones, they sound like nothing, but when you look at the washbasin-sized Ganoderma lucidum in front of you, the visual impact they cause is quite big.
Zhang An walked in and took a closer look. The largest flowers had become lignified, hard to the touch, and had a thick layer of powder on them.
Zhang An knew that this was Ganoderma lucidum powder, which is the spores of Ganoderma lucidum. Other Ganoderma lucidums were also sprayed with a lot of spore powder.
Seeing this situation, Zhang An suddenly figured it out.
The Ganoderma lucidum discovered by Zhang An and others in later generations may have been discovered by someone before, and the spore powder left on the ground after harvesting was slowly grown later.
In line with the principle that thieves never leave empty-handed, Zhang An began to collect these treasures.
Because even if Zhang An doesn't take it away, others will find it and take it away later.
Zhang An squatted on the ground, grabbing the root of Ganoderma lucidum with his hands, thinking about pulling it out with force, but he didn't expect that he spent a long time and failed to break the root.
Zhang An saw that he could not handle them with his bare hands, so he began to take out a hatchet from the space and uprooted it from underneath without any morals.
This Ganoderma lucidum is not light, weighing at least ten or twenty kilograms. I just picked the Ganoderma lucidum, no, when I chopped it, a lot of Ganoderma spores were scattered on the ground.
Zhang An followed the principle of being short-handed and soft-mouthed, so he sprinkled some space spring water on the areas where Ganoderma spores were just sprinkled, hoping that they would grow well in the future. Zhang An would come to see them next time.
I just took away the mother, so it would be fair to give some benefits to the remaining descendants of Ganoderma lucidum.
Putting the cut Ganoderma lucidum into the space, Zhang An went on to pick a few more.
After picking the few washbasin-sized Ganoderma lucidum trees, I started to pick other Ganoderma lucidum.
But Zhang An did not kill everyone and wiped out the whole family.
I just picked some Ganoderma lucidum that is larger than the size of his hand, and the others that are still relatively small will continue to grow here.
Finally, I finished picking them. Except for the five particularly big ones, there was almost a basket full of others.
Zhang An has not forgotten the spore powder on them. When he first picked it, he deliberately sprinkled a lot of it on the ground outside.
Zhang An plans to plant the remaining Ganoderma lucidum in the space, not to sell it for money, but simply to see what the Ganoderma lucidum field looks like.
In TV dramas and novels of later generations, there is always a field of spiritual plants, and there are always ginseng, sesame, and grass.
These things should not exist, but Zhang An just wants to take a look at them.
Maybe when the Internet becomes popular in the future, Zhang An will become a peerless master in everyone's eyes.
Since Ganoderma lucidum gave Zhang An a great sense of harvest and joy, after picking Ganoderma lucidum, Zhang An began to look for other things on the ground.
Not to mention, he really found a lot of Chinese herbal medicine.
Look, there are many dendrobiums growing on the moss-covered stones in front, and not far from the dendrobiums, Zhang An also saw many Polygonatum japonica poles.
This is something he has been looking for because he wants to get some and plant them in the space.
Because in later generations, Zhang An’s second grandfather and second grandmother achieved real longevity by consuming wild Polygonatum japonica all year round.
All the elderly people in the village who are older than them have left long ago. The two elders are still healthy. There are too many people who know them around here.
I still remember that when my second grandfather celebrated his 90th birthday, the town leaders came to express their condolences and personally delivered daily necessities.
Thinking of this, Zhang An suddenly felt inexplicably want to laugh.
Because the uncles of the second grandfather’s family have always been secretly fighting over each other. They all want to wait until the two elders leave Hexi to share more of the family property.
In the end, the second grandfather and the two elders survived until their nineties and were still healthy. The hair of several uncles had turned white and they had not received any share of the family property.
In the end, the second grandpa was tougher than the rest of them, which is simply a joke.
Seeing Huang Jing, Zhang An ignored the dendrobium herbs like a scumbag and ran straight towards Huang Jing.
Zhang An walked over and dug through the weeds. There was quite a lot of Polygonatum japonica.
The old rule is that Zhang An starts moving the animals from the oldest to the youngest. If they are too young, he will let them go.
I found a Polygonatum sibiricum with the tallest and largest stem, took out my hoe and started working.
After digging for a long time, Zhang An finally dug out the entire plant.
Based on the shape of the leaves of this Polygonatum plant, Zhang An concluded that it was probably a Polygonatum japonicus. It was quite big and had a long string of roots.
But then Zhang An understood why there were so many treasures here. It was simply because this place was so good, it was a fertile soil, a fairy treasure land.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many Ganoderma lucidum growing there. Ganoderma lucidum is very picky about where it grows, and the small patch of dendrobium next to it is also picky about where it grows.
Fortunately, Zhang An had space, otherwise he would not be able to bring back so many things after digging them up.
Because they added up to too many, Zhang An simply couldn't refuse.
The department had a dinner together in the evening. I came back late, sorry.
