Chapter 121 Miraculous Creation, Looking for Zhang Hao
Hear the words.
Liu Hanzhong subconsciously paused, then raised his head the next second and looked in the direction of Qian Kun's finger.
This Putuo hornbeam tree has lush branches and leaves, and its huge crown is like a huge umbrella, blocking out the sky and the sun.
In his memory, when he saw this Putuo hornbeam for the first time, he saw a lot of yellow leaves. And when he came back this time, he also noticed that the outer leaves were gone. , he thought it was the mayor who asked someone to clean it up.
He also knew what the old leader was going to do, so he didn't resent the mayor's approach and didn't ask.
But now after Qian Kun's reminder, when he looked at the huge tree crown, he could no longer see any withered yellow leaves.
Every leaf is a perfect, full green, and even some branches are no longer light gray, but dark brown.
This...
Is this the same Putuo hornbeam tree he saw before?
Why, why are all the dead leaves gone? The branches of the trees have also turned into normal colors. Isn't this wrong?
"Old Liu...hey, what is going on?" Qian Kun looked at him in surprise, with disbelief written all over his face.
Liu Hanzhong didn't understand what happened. He just looked up at the tree without making any response.
After a long time, he came back to his senses, turned to look at Mayor Zhou, and asked: "Mayor Zhou, have you found someone to take care of this tree?"
Mayor Zhou is also very confused. He has been worried to death about this tree these days. How can he be in the mood to find someone to take care of the tree? The most important thing is that it is useless to find someone to take care of it. There is absolutely no way to prevent this ancient tree from withering.
Mayor Zhou shook his head decisively and looked at the ancient tree in confusion.
Liu Hanzhong turned his head again, looked at Qian Kun, who was also a botanist, and said: "Quickly, quickly collect the leaves, roots, bark and sap, and test them. Test them quickly!" < br>
Since Mayor Zhou has not found anyone to take care of it, it means that no one has touched this ancient tree in the past few days. But now the withered yellow leaves of this ancient tree have turned green, and the branches have returned to their original normal color. How can it be so great? It's possible that this ancient tree is showing signs of improvement!
To put it simply, this ancient tree may come back to life!
Although this view seems nonsense, the fact is that it is indeed nonsense. After being a botanist for so many years, he has never heard of a plant that is about to wither and can live again by its own ability.
But now the state of the Putuo hornbeam tree showed him that this tree is very likely to be alive! It’s probably normal!
Qian Kun nodded ignorantly, and immediately organized people to collect the things that needed to be tested. He himself was not idle either. He kept circling the tree, looking at this ancient "miraculous" tree from all directions and angles. Tree.
……
Town government.
In the conference room.
Liu Hanzhong, Qian Kun, Wang Jinhai, Mayor Zhou, and their entourage all looked anxious.
Liu Hanzhong was restless, standing at the conference table and pacing back and forth, showing his inner anxiety all the time.
The old tree is in spring, and it is very likely that it will come back to life. The test results haven't come out yet, so how can he not be anxious.
If the test results come out and the ancient tree is indeed alive, it will definitely be a great thing to be happy about. But if the test results come out and show the same results as before, then the ancient tree will still end up dead. .
He was nervous and anxious now, fearing that the test results would be different from what he expected.
"Here it comes, here it comes, the test results are out!"
At this time, a staff member hurried over, holding several pieces of information in his hand.
Liu Hanzhong hurried forward to pick it up, or even snatch it away.
Holding the test results in his hand, before he could feel the warmth on the paper, he was attracted by the data on it.
The same goes for several other experts.
There was a rare moment of silence in the conference room.
But not long after.
Liu Hanzhong, who was holding the information and flipping through it, exclaimed: "F*ck!"
Immediately afterwards.
"Fuck! Old Liu, Putuo Hornbeam is alive! It's really alive!" Qian Kun was overjoyed, his eyes were as big as bells, and his expression control was out of control.
Wang Jinhai's hand holding the information trembled a little, and he said excitedly: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you why the nutrients in the soil suddenly became less. It's true, it's true! This Putuo hornbeam has absorbed The nutrients in the soil survived! ”
Mayor Zhou looked at the three experts in front of him with astonishment written all over his face.
For a moment, he forgot to be happy when he heard the good news, and just looked at the three experts talking in confusion.
"That ancient tree, the ancient tree, is it really alive?" he asked very uncertainly.
Liu Hanzhong nodded heavily, the wrinkles on his face piled up, and he looked as if he was ten years younger: "Yes, Mayor Zhou, this Putuo hornbeam tree is alive! Judging from the test results, everything is normal , even much better than the previous situation! ”
"Yes, judging from the test results, the root rot ratio of Putuo hornbeam is even less than 5%, which is within the normal and acceptable range! It can be said that Putuo hornbeam is in its best period. !" Qian Kun added.
Mayor Zhou sat down on the chair, his expression unclear whether he was crying or laughing.
Alive...Putuo Hornbeam is alive?
Great...great. If this ancient tree survives, the old leader will be very happy when he returns to Yaqian Town tomorrow and sees this ancient tree again. He will definitely...
Great, my career and position have been saved.
Maybe, maybe when this term ends, he can move up the ladder!
The other three experts ignored him completely, but sometimes looked at the report and sometimes looked at each other.
"It's amazing, it's simply amazing! I actually survived on my own. This, this is simply a miracle!" Liu Hanzhong laughed heartily, his joy was beyond words,
Qian Kun nodded heavily: "It can indeed be described as a miracle. It's incredible. Think about it six days ago, when we first saw this tree, the leaves were all withered and yellow, and the root rot ratio had reached more than 50%. It must be saved." It’s not alive anymore. I didn’t expect it to come back to life on its own in just 5 days. This can no longer be described as a miracle!”
Wang Jinhai was really happy for the ancient tree and his face was filled with joy.
After the short-term joy passed away, the three of them gradually calmed down.
They suddenly realized a problem, a problem that they had just ignored because they were overwhelmed with joy.
That is, how did this Putuo hornbeam come to life?
As plant experts, they have an extremely sufficient understanding of plants, and they have unique judgments on whether plants can survive.
But this Putuo hornbeam completely broke all their knowledge over the years, and even rubbed all the knowledge they had learned on the ground.
Without anyone taking care of it, this Putuo hornbeam actually came to life. This was so contrary to common sense and their cognition. This is indeed a miracle, but a perverse miracle!
Think of this.
Liu Hanzhong looked at the two people and asked blankly: "How did this Putuo hornbeam survive?"
Qian Kun shook his head: "No, I don't know."
Wang Jinhai shook his head violently, expressing that he didn't know.
Indeed, they shouldn't know, because judging from their professionalism, they really shouldn't know about something that obviously looks like a miracle.
"Judging from the current situation, the survival of this tree must not depend on the tree itself." Qian Kun analyzed.
Liu Hanzhong thought for a moment and said: "Then we can only find the reason from external factors."
"External factors...man-made?" He thought again.
Wang Jinhai suggested: "Why don't we take a look at the surveillance video? Take a look at the changes in the ancient trees in the past few days."
Liu Hanzhong suddenly realized and slapped his forehead: "That's right! Look at the surveillance video, Mayor Zhou, quickly, pull out the surveillance video immediately. Pull out all the surveillance video from the day we left the ancient tree to today!" < br>
Mayor Zhou was still immersed in joy. When he heard this, he immediately stood up and laughed: "Wait a minute, I'll do it right away!"
Mayor Zhou was very efficient. It didn't take long for all the surveillance videos to be retrieved.
Three experts gathered in front of the big screen and quickly browsed the surveillance video.
When they saw the surveillance video of the next day, they discovered a person who came with this old man with a cane in both hands. Under surveillance, this person bypassed the barrier and walked to The periphery of the old tree, that is, the location on the edge of the soil.
After walking around, he squatted down as if he was twisting some soil, and then left.
In subsequent surveillance videos, this person never appeared again, and no one approached the ancient tree.
What is strange is that after the man squatted in front of the ancient tree, in the next few days, surveillance video showed that three experts could see through the sunlight and pictures that this Putuo hornbeam had Clear signs of improvement!
First, the withered yellow leaves began to slowly turn green. By the time today came, they had completely changed their appearance and truly came to life.
After watching the surveillance video, the three experts looked at each other at a loss, with surprise, disbelief, and doubt in their eyes.
"Could it...be this person?" Qian Kun adjusted the surveillance video to the front, the figure squatting in front of the ancient tree.
Liu Hanzhong stared at that figure for a while and then said: "Currently, this person is the only one who has been close to the ancient tree in the past few days, and then the ancient tree miraculously came back to life. But it is this person who cured the ancient tree... …I’m not sure, and can he really do this?”
Wang Jinhai thought for a moment: "Indeed, even we can't cure the ancient tree. Can he really do it?"
Qian Kun waved his hand: "How did the ancient tree come to life? Do you really think that the ancient tree came to life on its own? I don't really believe it. If the ancient tree can come to life on its own, then this ancient tree has really become a spirit. I I think that the ancient tree coming back to life may have something to do with this person, but how much it has to do with it... I don’t know.”
However, Liu Hanzhong did not express his views immediately. Instead, he pondered for a long time before asking: "Then what method did he use to save this ancient tree that was about to die?"
The two of them remained silent and did not answer. They really could not answer the question.
Because this is so strange, or so magical, that it is impossible to imagine, but it also makes people feel strange and suspicious.
But now that the ancient tree has come back to life, it stands to reason that their mission is over.
But it happened that the ancient tree was alive. If they couldn't figure out the reason, they wouldn't be able to sleep well at night.
After all, if you know the reason, it will be a chance to write it into a paper and become famous among botanists in one fell swoop!
"How about... go find this person? See if he has anything to do with him?" Qian Kun suggested.
Now the three of them are here discussing it, but it is useless to discuss it.
There is neither key evidence nor any clues. No matter how much we discuss it, it will be in vain. It is better to find this person and ask the reason.
Liu Hanzhong thought for a long time, nodded and said: "At present, it seems that this is the only way. After all, except him, no one is close to the ancient tree anymore."
Wang Jinhai nodded in agreement.
Liu Hanzhong took the frozen surveillance video and called Mayor Zhou in and said: "Mayor Zhou, please help us find the person in the video."
Mayor Zhou took the video, squinted his eyes and said, "What is he...doing?"
Liu Hanzhong raised his hand and pressed it down: "Mayor Zhou, it's important to find someone first."
He didn't say the reason, nor did he show any meaning.
Mayor Zhou nodded, clicked on the video, and watched it carefully from beginning to end.
He squinted for a while before he saw the face of the man in the video clearly, and subconsciously exclaimed: "Brother Zhang?"
Liu Hanzhong and the other three were startled, their eyes widened, and they hurriedly asked: "Do you know this person?"
"We know him." Mayor Zhou nodded: "His name is Zhang Hao, he is from Zhaojia Village..."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Hanzhong grabbed his arms tightly with both hands: "Mayor Zhou, take us over immediately to find this person named Zhang Hao. We have something very important to ask him!"
Mayor Zhou was shocked, but the expressions of the three experts did not look like they were joking. He nodded and said, "No, no problem. I'll arrange a ride right away."
……
other side.
Yaqian Town People's Hospital.
"Teacher, please slow down!" Zhou Qi changed into plain clothes, put on his coat, and caught up with the teacher in front of him.
Lu Yuan walked in a hurry, not paying attention to the students behind him.
In the past few days, he has been looking for the patient named "Li Siyu" through various connections.
But the town has been busy with something very important these past few days, and it was not until just now that they told others that they had found it.
It's in Zhaojia Village under Yaqian Town.
After learning the news, he didn't want to stay in the hospital. He took his students and prepared to rush to Zhaojiacun.
After leaving the hospital gate and standing next to the taxi, he looked at the dragging students behind him and shouted: "You kid, can you hurry up! You can't keep up with me, an old man who can't walk as fast as me. I won't take you with me." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Qi quickly quickened his pace and ran after him panting.
