Chapter 64 What's Under the Tree
Chapter 64 What’s under the tree
"Meow~"
"Meow-"
I don’t know if it is a racial talent, but cats are not only very advantageous in hunting, they are also the best in the biosphere when it comes to pleasing the terrifying upright apes.
The wild lynx, which had never been tamed before, was suppressed by Li Heng's life aura. It twisted its neck and rubbed its head against Li Heng's arm, meowing in a flattering manner.
Who would have thought that this guy had just killed a big snake as thick as an arm.
Don't be deceived by its appearance at the moment, this guy is truly a terrifying killer who can take advantage of others' unpreparedness and kill humans alone!
Of course, in Li Heng's hands, it can only be used as a pet.
Li Heng stroked the cat's head and circled around the seven-mile fragrant tree to check.
This scene is indeed a bit weird. This scene in the primitive wild forest of the Qinling Mountains at night looks funny and absurd. A young man with a hand as big as a small sheep is walking around the tree here.
puff--
He continued to stretch out his hand and dig harder to dig directly into the stone mountain under the tree roots, easily digging out pieces of stone the size of his face.
He touched this gadget and found a protrusion that had been severely worn away, and he concentrated on looking at the little traces left behind.
Generally speaking, Qili Xiang cannot grow this high if it is used as a bonsai. The tree in front of Li Heng is already taller than the two of him stacked on top of each other. The canopy of dense leaves is like a big umbrella.
With this question in mind, Li Heng continued to dig downwards, and the sound of turning earth and rocks came again, becoming a strange movement in the quiet forest.
However, the fact that it is still standing upright shows that Li Heng had no intention of digging it, otherwise he would have chosen Lu Zhishen's plan from the beginning.
When Li Heng saw this, he just smiled and ignored it.
Moreover, this kind of tree is very delicate. In theory, it will die quickly if it is not taken care of by the external environment. But the fact is that not only did this guy not die, but he looked pretty good, and he caused a murder in the animal world today.
.
Li Heng frowned and slowly knelt down, looked at the root of the tree and rubbed the rough and hard bark with his hand.
Going back to 10 or 20 years ago, it is reasonable to say that at that time it was even more backward than it is now, and there should be very little development of the primitive mountains of the Qinling Mountains.
And the operating period of this brand of fertilizer can indeed roughly match the age of the tree.
Since entering the mountain, he has always turned off his phone to save power, saving the battery as much as possible, and only turning it on for a short time when it is absolutely necessary.
"De...wo...what?"
Li Heng squinted his eyes and stared at this little gadget with a puzzled look on his face.
He slowly raised his hand from the dirt and gravel, and held a small object on his fingertips.
However, this was what he expected, so before setting off again, he changed his mobile phone and spent nearly 30,000 yuan to purchase a special high-performance machine with a large storage capacity.
He typed the first two words in the search and quickly found dozens of similar results. In fact, most of them seemed irrelevant and were kicked out by Li Heng.
Click——
Although he came out without any tools, his physical strength at this moment was a natural tool, and there was no tool that was easier to use than his hands.
After thinking for a while, Li Heng took out the mobile phone he carried with him.
This tree is at least over twenty years old.
The screen that lights up shows the signal value of the blank space. There is no base station signal deep in the mountains and it cannot be covered.
The reason why this gadget puzzled him was that even though it had been buried under here for a long time, he could still see that it was made of plastic!
For a moment, he couldn't determine what it was, but it aroused his strong curiosity.
Devolon is a brand that specializes in the production of fertilizers for planting trees. Its main business period was from the end of the last century to the beginning of the 21st century. Later, the business was reorganized and merged into other companies, and the brand disappeared.
One day more than ten or even twenty years ago, someone went deep into this primitive mountain forest, dug a hole in this barren land, planted a small sapling of Qilixiang, and gave it back
Fertilizer was applied, but when the fertilizer plug was removed, it was left in the pit and buried to this day.
Besides, who would plant trees in the Qinling Mountains if they have nothing to do? Is there a tree like yours that is missing?
In other words, in that era when there were no roads, someone traveled through hundreds of miles of wild mountains and forests to come here and planted a potted plant that was supposed to be planted indoors?
Even if you want to think in the direction of afforestation, there is no chance, it is too far-fetched.
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel that his mind was filled with doubts.
There was a crash, a crash, the sound of broken stones and digging could be heard, and the whole Seven Mile Incense tree was also trembling, and from time to time the leaves fell off, looking like they were on the verge of collapsing.
Li Heng stared at it for a long time and could barely recognize the two characters. The strokes of the last character were quite complex and had been worn away and blurred.
After gently exhaling and blowing off the mud on it, Li Heng got a small plug-shaped object, about two to three centimeters long and about the thickness of his little finger.
At this point, he was certain of one thing - this unique Seven Mile Incense tree did not grow naturally in the Qinling Mountains, but was artificially planted.
Li Heng released his hand and let go of the old cat. The freed bobcat meowed and his first reaction was to run away! In a flash, it got into the weeds next to it and disappeared.
Soon a small pit two feet deep close to the root of the tree appeared next to it, and Li Heng temporarily stopped his actions.
call--
Apart from anything else, as far as he knew, the winding mountain road thirty kilometers away from here was only repaired in the past ten years.
The only thing is that this will make his hands dirty, but Li Heng is not someone who cares about such trivial details.
He was still more curious about the seven-mile incense tree in front of him. This tall and fragrant plant made a rustling sound in the evening breeze of Qinling Mountains.
Until he saw one of the entries called "Devoron" and clicked on it to see a few pictures, he immediately realized that this was the answer he was looking for.
Then I downloaded an offline encyclopedia APP, which contains a large amount of information from ancient and modern times, Chinese and foreign, on the Internet, occupying nearly a terabyte of capacity.
The thing in Li Heng's hand was the bolt cover of one of the plastic packages of fruit tree fertilizers they produced back then. Comparing the injured thing with the picture in the encyclopedia can also confirm it.
Li Heng imagined what happened here in his mind.
A crisp sound came from under Li Heng's hand, and something in the ground seemed to have been broken apart by his brute force.
Li Heng held the fluorescent lamp and slowly shone it over it. Under the silvery white light, some things that had been buried deep in the mountains for many years revealed their true colors.
That's a bone.
A decayed, gray-white human skeleton.
