Chapter 169 Giant Pandas in Plants

So the second elder brother just said: "This is a sharp weapon, hold it carefully and don't use it casually."

"It's okay!" Brother Six said, "It can't be pulled out! Uncle said we can only use it after we have mastered martial arts. Now we can only watch."

Brother Tang also said: "Uncle has squeezed the scabbard shut, and now it can't be pulled out."

The second brother nodded.

Then Xiaowu finally couldn't stand anymore and fell down. Master Shen caught him casually and put him aside. He then put a big rock on top and clapped his hands: "Try it yourself. If you can't hold on any longer, stop. The rest of you can play by yourselves. Xinbaoer, come on, uncle will carry you to visit the garden."

Yan Shenjue took a step back: "I'll go with you."

Mr. Shen laughed and did not refuse, so several people walked out of the martial arts field and turned right, strolling slowly along the side.

Yan Shenjue was unable to carry the little girl, so he held her forward. In this way, Xinbao and Mr. Shen were like walking side by side, the old and the young communicating as they walked. Yan Shenjue at the back was like an emotionless cart, unable to get a word in.

In fact, most of the flowers at Mr. Shen’s place are planted in places they like, so they all grow well.

Xinbao even saw a paradisiacal tree.

This is the legendary "giant panda among plants". It originated 140 million years ago and is one of the oldest single-genus species in the Magnoliaceae family. Although it has not yet become extinct in her time, only a few plants remain.

This kind of tree has extremely strict requirements for the growing environment. It will not tolerate any inappropriate humidity and temperature. Mr. Shen's tree doesn't grow very well, but you can tell that he put a lot of effort into it.

Mr. Shen said, "This tree is really hard to grow. It's harder than taking care of children. Two died last year, and this one isn't doing well this year. This kind of tree isn't very frost-resistant, and it can't be cut off from water. It's too big to move into the greenhouse. The gardener said we can't grow it here, and I'm about to give up..."

The old man kept chattering, Xinbao listened quietly for a while, then got down from Yan Shenjue's arms, opened his little arms, and hugged the tree.

She said she wasn't quite sure what she was thinking, but at that moment, her little heart was filled with something indescribable that made her happy and sad.

Mr. Shen couldn't continue speaking, so he stopped talking, looked at Tuanzi strangely, and then looked at Yan Xiaolang.

Yan Xiaolang looked calm.

Mr. Shen looked at him carefully for a long time, but could not see anything on his expressionless face, so he could only turn back to look at Xinbao.

He thought to himself, could this child be a god who controls wood?

Otherwise, how could you know so many things when you are so young and have no master?

Yan Shenjue's emotions were far more agitated than he showed. He waited quietly for a while, and finally couldn't help it. He walked over, squatted gently, and hugged the soft little ball: "Xinbao?"

Xinbao turned her head, her eyes misty, and she said, "Xinbao likes this tree... No, no, Xinbao likes this place... Xinbao, Xinbao said he doesn't understand, do you understand?"

Yan Shenjue said gently: "I understand."

Master Shen: "..."

So, can you tell me what you understand?

Xinbao heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately moved back, sitting on his lap as if it was natural and familiar to him: "The tree is so hard, it hit Xinbao's face, it hurts, my wife, huhu."

Yan Shenjue laughed, gently turned Tuanzi's face and blew twice.

Xinbao shook his little head and put his face close to Yan Shenjue's mouth, "It doesn't hurt anymore!"

Yan Xiaolang, who was hit/mouthed for no reason: "..."

She stood up and pointed upwards: "Wife, just pick the seeds, pick them for us!"

Okay, Yan Shenjue put her farther away, and then followed her instructions to climb the tree to collect seeds.

Master Shen squatted down next to Xinbao. The old man stroked his beard, leaned over, and asked carefully, "Can you plant flowers?"

"Not many," she said, "Xinbao, give it a try."

Normally, it is impossible to grow them here, as the environment, soil and altitude are not suitable. But since we have encountered this situation, why not give it a try? Maybe it can be grown? So a few people picked some seeds, washed them and dried them aside. Tuanzi also told Yan Shenjue: "Wife, you have to ask me to plant them tomorrow morning."

Yan Shenjue nodded.

After finishing a busy trip, it was time to eat. This time they went to the main courtyard, which was much better than the simple little flower hall, but still not magnificent. The children discussed eating hot pot, and Master Shen, who never put on airs, actually agreed, and then divided the table into two.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

When Brother Tang and his friends were wandering around, they saw the greenhouse in the garden. During dinner, Brother Tang said to him, "Uncle, the greenhouse in our village is too simple compared to this one. Will it work?"

Master Shen did not hide it: "Who knows whether it will work or not? In my garden, there are more than 60 or 70 gardeners, and each of them only takes care of a little bit. Even so, there are still flowers that don't survive, or die. So I thought, try another place, maybe I can grow something good."

He glanced at Xinbao with a smile: "Anyway, whether I'm in the garden or not, the gardeners are doing the same work. In about another month, there won't be many flowers in the garden, so it doesn't matter to me where I live."

Xinbao is always very attentive when eating, a veritable food lover, but today he was a little absent-minded. While eating, he asked, "Uncle, do you have yew trees in your garden?"

Master Shen paused and asked, "Yew?"

"Yes, yew!" Xinbao nodded: "It's yew and Guanyin cypress."

Master Shen shook his head: "No. Does it look good?"

Xinbao thought for a moment and said, "There are red fruits."

To be honest, it’s not that beautiful, but it is also considered the giant panda among plants and is called a “national treasure”.

This is an ancient tree species left over from the Quaternary glaciers. It has a history of 2.5 million years on Earth and is also a recognized, endangered anti-cancer plant.

Master Shen asked, "Xinbao, do you want it? If you want, go and ask around."

Xinbao nodded, then shook his head, "Xinbao didn't want it. Xinbao just wanted to think about it."

She has never been obsessed with "owning", she just feels happy when she sees something. She is even happier to see extinct plants again. If possible, she would be even happier if she could do something to help these extinct or endangered plants survive.

The second elder brother was afraid that Mr. Shen would really go look for him, so he smiled and told him what Xinbao had said to Yipinbi before.

Master Shen stroked his beard and thought... He thought, "She looks more like a fairy! Fairies own the whole world, so they are not like ordinary people like us. Once we hear something, we want to bring it back to the garden."
