Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 37 Lunar Eclipse



"Oh? Some things can't be touched? What? Are there flowers and trees here?" I said.

Chen Jiansheng shook his head, "Talking while walking."

After walking for about 10 minutes, he came to a big tree and stopped. This big tree was more than ten meters high and looked strange. It had limbs and torso, but it was bare without a leaf.

Pointing to the big tree, he turned his head and said: "Look, I used this tree as a reference and landmark before, because it is easy to recognize, and I named it the Bachelor Tree, which is facing the exit of the crack in the cave. As long as you can see it, you can't get lost in it."

"Well, Chen Carpenter, this is indeed a good idea," I praised.

A mole looked up at the big tree blankly for several minutes, and then he said in a deep voice: "When I was in college, I chose botany because I was interested. I heard about this tree from the old professor. What is the name of the bachelor tree, it has a name, it is called Yunyang tree."

"Yo, I didn't expect you, Chen Houqin, to be a college student," Chen Jiansheng said with a smile, "I don't know about the Yunyang tree, and it doesn't have a hair. I think it's more appropriate to call it the bachelor tree."

"Don't talk nonsense if you are uneducated!" Sister Hong glared at him: "Yunyang is what the ancients called it. This kind of tree was actually grafted by the ancients accidentally. The person who discovered this tree was a scholar named Yunyang. , so it is called the Yunyang tree in "Strange Objects", but all of this is because the ancients did not know much about grafting techniques."

"It depends on what you want, this bachelor tree, no, this Yunyang tree is still artificially planted?"

"It's definitely not right. I've been here several times. Don't talk about people. I haven't even seen a ghost. You must have made a mistake." Chen Jiansheng kept shaking his head when he heard that the big tree might be artificially grafted. .

"Chen Tugong, it doesn't matter whether the tree is wild or grafted. Let's hurry up and go to the place you said you wanted to show us."

"Okay, let's go, go to the left, pay attention to the weeds under your feet, some grass may have thorns."

He took us to continue walking. Along the way, I saw many plants that I had never seen before.

Sister Hong explained to me from time to time: "Here, this flower is called Aconitum, don't touch it, it will itch if you touch it."

"This is called Nymph, and that is Red Cockscomb. These are very rare flowers and plants."

Suddenly, I saw a dark yellow worm lying on a red cockscomb. This worm was very similar to the cicadas in the rural fields.

I reached out and caught it.

Holding the worm, I took a closer look and wondered, "What... what is this? Don't you know that this thing has no legs?"

I said why I caught it as soon as I stretched out my hand. It turns out that this thing has no legs and cannot crawl away.

"Chen Tugong, do you know what kind of bug this is?" I asked curiously.

He looked at it, scratched his head and said, "I don't know, it's useless for you to ask me, I haven't seen everything, there are too many weird bugs here."

This bug doesn't seem to know how to bark. It has a pair of black sesame-like eyes on its head, which look very strange.

Chen Jiansheng said he didn't know if he had seen it before, and Sister Hong shook her head and said she didn't know it. Sister Hong said that she knew a lot about plants, but she didn't know much about insects.

I didn't pay much attention to it, so I stuffed the worm into my trouser pocket casually. It wouldn't bite anyway, and the worm didn't have long legs, so it couldn't crawl around.It's purely because I think it's weird and I haven't seen it before.

"By the way, are you hungry now?" Chen Jiansheng suddenly turned around and asked.

"It's okay, I can continue walking, I'm not very hungry," I said truthfully.

He rolled his eyelids: "Of course you're not hungry, kid! You ate all the fish I caught!"

"This..." I was a little embarrassed and rubbed my hands together in embarrassment.

"Okay, okay, just come here, let's go."

He pointed to a small tree on his right and said: "The red fruit on the tree is edible. I have eaten it before. It's okay. There's nothing delicious here. I'll pick some to satisfy my hunger." , he walked towards the fruit tree on his own.

After a few minutes, he returned with his shirt stretched out.

"Here you are," he handed a mole one by one.

"Who knows if you can eat it or not," Sister Hong didn't answer.

"Oh, Chen Logistics, you must be hungry." He picked up a fruit and wiped it on his clothes, then brought it to his mouth, and took a big bite.The fruit juice is overflowing and looks very sweet.

I subconsciously swallowed my saliva.

Noticing my gaffe, he shook his head and tossed me two.

After hesitating, I took a bite carefully.

It tastes a bit like an apple, crunchy, but sweeter and juicier than an apple.

"It's okay, Miss Hong, you can eat one, it's delicious, you basically didn't eat anything before, we have to walk later, eat one, and add sugar." After finishing speaking, I handed it to her a fruit.

This time she ate.

"Hey..." The man smiled and said, "How about Chen Houqin, is it sweet or not? Is it fragrant?"

She kept a cold face and didn't answer.

After eating the fruit, several people felt that their throats were much refreshed and not so dry.

Chen Jiansheng found an open space, and he said to sit for a while and rest, and he was not in a hurry.

I asked suspiciously: "Chen Tugong, we haven't walked very far since we came in, right..."

"Hey," he waved his hand, "Boy, there are some things you don't know, just listen to me, and you'll figure it out after sitting here for a while, and I'll show you something good later." What he said was endless, Mysterious.

There is no way, since the guide said to take a break, so I can only take a break, and I will also take a look, and he said what is the good thing for me to see.

They just sat on the ground without speaking. Chen Jiansheng looked up at the sky from time to time, not knowing what he was looking at.

It was estimated that an hour would pass, and I couldn't sit still.

Standing up suddenly from the ground, I asked him how long he would rest and whether he was still doing business.Sister Hong also turned to look at him.

Chen Jiansheng is now lying on his back with his upper body, supported by his hands, with a piece of weed in his mouth.

"Bah," he spat out the weeds in his mouth, and said, "I've seen that scene once and I'll never forget it. Don't worry, it's going to be dark soon, soon, soon... "

"It's dark? In here?" I looked around.

The surrounding environment in front of me is like in the evening, the light is not enough, but I can see things.

"Haha, here we come, take a look!" Chen Jiansheng suddenly pointed to the place we just walked over.

I saw that the place we walked just now was falling into darkness little by little, as if experiencing a total lunar eclipse, from dusk to night.

Moreover, this cloud-like darkness is in a transitional state, spreading towards the three of us.

In less than 3 minutes, the entire space here was darkened, and it instantly became dark, and I couldn't see my fingers.

It's so dark now that I can't even see my own fingers.

"Chen Tugong!" It was dark and I couldn't see others, so I shouted.

"What are you trying to show us!"
