Chapter 1962 Jungle
"Let Xiao Hou share a room with Guai Bao; she will take care of the child."
Zheng Shou was the oldest and most senior among them, and he made the final decision. Although Chen Ying was unwilling, she was not good at arguing with people, so she could only give up.
Zheng Shou glared at her: "You're such a grown woman, how come you can't do anything? You're not even as good as Cheng Xuri."
Cheng Xuri, who was suddenly called upon, was in a panic.
Chen Ying's gaze also fell on him, and he nervously lowered his head, waving his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I can't do it either."
Tsk, look at that deadbeat, still completely helpless when facing a woman.
Zheng Shou rolled his eyes, clearly disgusted, and ignored them.
He wouldn't concern himself with other people's business as long as he had the treasure properly arranged.
Once everyone settled in, they went up the mountain to see the longevity tree.
Little White stayed behind; it ate too much yesterday and got an upset stomach and diarrhea.
Zheng Shou gave it some herbal medicine and told it to stay home and rest.
Little White wasn't happy about it and wanted to follow Treasure, but Treasure glared at it and it immediately behaved itself.
Zheng Shou watched in amazement. With his darling's ability to train dogs, he regretted sending Xiao Bai to He Siwu. He had wasted so many of his good things and was ridiculed by that old man.
Who would have thought that Treasure could tame Little White so well?
The group went up the mountain, where the longevity tree grew in the Gao family's mountain.
Oh, this name is just a temporary one given to it for convenience.
The professor from the agricultural university looked at the nearly dead tree with great surprise.
“I have never seen this variety before.” Holding a tablet, they carefully examined the “before” photos of the tree provided by the Gao family, zooming in to look closely at the trunk and leaves, and then passed the photos around among themselves.
"The leaves look like those of a jujube tree, but the fruit looks a bit like goji berries, which is quite amazing."
Looking at the charred tree trunks now, one can only shake one's head.
The Gao family's hearts sank the moment they saw their expressions.
But still clinging to a sliver of hope, I asked, "What if it starts sprouting new buds again next spring?"
"They're all carbonized, so the chances of survival are slim. What a pity."
The tree wasn't big, and its fruit-bearing capacity wasn't strong. Although we don't know what kind it was, it's not easy for it to live for hundreds of years. Now that it's been struck by lightning and died, how can we not feel sorry for it?
Zheng Shou, on the other hand, seemed quite pleased looking at the carbonized wood.
A tree that's hundreds of years old is already incredibly powerful, and now it's been struck by lightning—what a wonderful talisman against evil!
He needs to get some to make a talisman for his precious baby. Oh, and by the way, he'll also pass on his carving skills to his baby. It's always good to have more skills; they'll come in handy someday.
The professors from the agricultural university were checking if there were any branches that could sprout. As long as there was still a green core, there was still hope. Zheng Shou was planning to go over and pluck the lightning-struck wood.
Who would have thought the Gao family would be so stubborn.
"No, this is our family's sacred tree. Even if it dies, we must keep it in our home and never let anyone chop it down."
"What lightning-struck wood? That lightning killed my tree, and you still say it's good?"
Zheng Shou was not giving up and continued to argue with them.
Treasure is different. She's not interested in longevity trees, even if their fruit is so sour. She doesn't like them even if they're not dead. She prefers sweet things.
A group of people were busily working around a dead tree, and she rolled her eyes, turned around, and ran away.
Once they got to the mountains, she started running around like crazy.
There is still snow on the mountain, and half of the snow has melted in the sunny areas, flowing out along the waterways.
On the shady side of the hillside, there was still thick ice, and the mountain waterfalls had all been frozen into icefalls.
The little guy had never seen this before and was very curious, wanting to step over and break the ice waterfall.
She was wearing a bearskin coat and a bearskin hat, and her whole body was dusty and gray, like a little eagle.
Fang Shiyou, Gu Feifan, Lei Ao, and Hou Qianrong followed her, lifting her up when she went up the mountain and leading her down the mountain. In short, whatever their master wanted to do, they accompanied her without stopping her or spoiling the fun.
The treasure spread wildly across the mountains and fields, startling the birds into flight, and they chased after the squirrels.
Qiao Yu fell in love with the squirrel she caught in the mountainous province and spent a fortune to buy it from Caibao. She heard that the squirrel is now fighting with Little Gray every day at her house.
Little Grey is good at cursing, but not good at fighting. He gets beaten up and keeps cursing as he runs away. But squirrels can go anywhere, so Little Grey can't escape very far.
The Qiao Yu family home is incredibly lively right now.
Yuanbao watches the birds and mice fight every day with great interest, and his personality has become much more lively, which is unexpected.
Qiao Yu was very grateful to Cai Bao for making her son more lively and adorable.
Now that Caibao has seen the squirrel again, he is incredibly excited.
"Friend, go! Catch him!"
This can be sold for money, lots and lots of money, Aunt Qiao likes it.
Fang Shiyou, with a pained expression, rushed over.
As we all know, squirrels leap from tree to tree, and their agility is quite average. Catching a squirrel is... well, you can't even dream of it happening that fast.
And so they chased after him with all their might.
The squirrel seemed to be deliberately teasing him. He chased it for a long time, but it ran very fast. When he couldn't catch it anymore, it perched on a tree and bared its teeth at him, squeaking wildly.
Hey, they're making fun of him.
Fang Shiyou was furious and continued to pursue the matter.
Unbeknownst to them, the group had wandered deep into the mountains and forests.
The Gao family's hilltop is just a small hillside; the deep mountains here are not their territory.
It was winter, and the vegetation in the mountains had all lost its leaves, leaving only branches. They chased further and further in.
Cai Bao, Hou Qianrong, and Fang Shiyou moved swiftly through the mountains as if they were on flat ground, but Gu Feifan and Lei Ao could not keep up.
They were pampered young masters; they would get out of breath after running just a few steps and gradually fell behind.
Looking up, Gu Feifan saw no sign of his master. Startled, he cried out, "Master, Lao Fang, where did you go? Don't leave us here! We'll get lost!"
Leo has been traveling around with Zheng Shou recently and is quite experienced.
She patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, follow me, I know the way."
Gu Feifan spat and said, "You foreigner, what kind of road do you know?"
"Trust me! I have a great sense of direction. I used to go on outdoor adventures a lot, and I was always the one who led the way."
Oh ho, sounds like a reliable guide. Great, Gu Feifan believed him. Then, as the two walked, things started to feel increasingly off.
This forest has a strange, ancient appearance; towering trees and withered vines everywhere, blocking out the light from the sky.
The key point is that it's completely quiet here, without a sound. Not to mention animals, even sunlight can't get in. It's dark and gloomy everywhere, as if it's another world.
Gu Feifan was a timid person to begin with, and when he suddenly came to this place, he was so scared that he burst into tears.
