Chapter 37 – Lunar Eclipse – Northern School Tomb Raider’s Notes
by Jessie@AFNCC“Oh? Something you can’t touch? What things? It’s all flowers and trees here, isn’t it?” I said.
Chen Jiansheng shook his head, “Tell me as we walk.”
After walking for about ten minutes, he came to a stop in front of a large tree, which was more than ten meters tall and had a strange look, with limbs and trunks, but without a single leaf on its body, it was bare.
He pointed at the big tree and twisted his head, “You guys see, before I used this tree as a reference landmark, because it’s very recognizable, I named it the Lightbringer Tree, this Lightbringer Tree is directly facing the exit of the cave’s fissure, so as long as you can see it, you won’t get lost in there.”
“Well, Carpenter Chan, that is indeed a good idea,” I praised.
A mole looked up and froze at the big tree for what could be several minutes, then she said in a deep voice: “When I was in college I purposely took botany because I was interested in it, and this tree I’ve heard from my old professors, it’s not called any bachelor’s tree, it has a name, it’s called the Yun Yang tree.”
“Yo, I didn’t expect Chen Logistics you are still a college student,” Chen Jiansheng laughed: “Yunyang tree we don’t know, not a single hair, I think it’s still called the bachelor tree is more apt.”
“Don’t talk nonsense if you’re uneducated!” Sister Hong glared at him: “Yunyang is what the ancients called it, this tree was actually grafted by the ancients unintentionally, and the one who discovered this tree was a Xiu Cai named Yunyang, so it was called the Yunyang Tree in Foreign Objects and Monsters, but all of this is because the ancients didn’t know much about grafting techniques.”
“Then, according to you, this light-bearing tree, no, this Yunyang tree is still artificially planted?”
“Definitely not right, I’ve been here a few times, not to mention people, not even a ghost shadow, you must be wrong,” Chen Jiansheng heard that the big tree may be man-made grafting, kept shaking his head in the negative.
“Alright Chen Tu Gong, whether this tree is wild or grafted, it doesn’t matter, let’s just hurry up and go to the place you said you wanted to show us.”
“OK, go ahead, take the left, watch your step for weeds, some of them can carry a prickly hook.”
<b
r>He led us on, and along the way, I saw many plants I had never seen before.
Sister Hong explained to me from time to time: “This, this flower is called grass aconite, don’t touch it, if you touch it, your body will itch.”
“This is called strychnine, and that’s red cocklebur… these are very uncommon flowers and plants.”
Suddenly, I saw on a red cockscomb, lying on a dark yellow bug, which resembled the robin bugs in the wild fields of the countryside.
I reached out and caught it with a snap.
Squeezing the worm, I took a closer look and wondered, “What’s this this, it’s not a robin, why doesn’t this thing have legs?”
I said how come I caught it as soon as I reached out, but it turns out the thing didn’t have legs and wouldn’t crawl away.
“Earthworker Chen, do you know what kind of bug this is?” I asked curiously.
He looked at it and scratched his head, “I don’t know, you’re asking me for nothing, I haven’t seen everything, there are a lot of strange and weird little bugs in here.”
The bug didn’t seem to be able to scream, and it had a pair of odd-looking black sesame-like eyes on its head.
Chen Jiansheng said that he did not know that he had never seen, and Sister Hong also shook her head and said that she did not recognize it, and Sister Hong said that she knew more about plants and very little about insects.
I didn’t care too much, casually stuffed the bug into his pants pocket, anyway, it won’t bite, plus the bug didn’t have legs, and won’t crawl around. I was purely because I thought it was weird and strange and had never seen it before.
“Right, are you guys hungry now?” Chen Jiansheng suddenly turned around and asked.
“It’s okay, I can keep going, not really hungry,” I said truthfully.
He rolled his eyes: “Of course you boys aren’t hungry! I caught the
A fish for you to eat!”
“It’s…” I was a little embarrassed, rubbing my hands together awkwardly.
“All right, all right, it’s just the right walk, pad it out.”
He pointed to a small tree on his right and said, “This red fruit on the tree can be eaten, I’ve eaten it before, it’s fine, there’s not much to eat here, I’ll go and pick a few to satiate my hunger.” With those words, he walked towards the fruit tree on his own.
