After they had breakfast, they packed up their tent and continued on their journey.
Because of the wind blowing all night, there was little dew in the morning, but the trees were becoming more and more numerous, and of course, more and more dense. Among them were some towering trees that might have been growing for decades.
Of course, these are not the goals of Liu Jing’s trip. Liu Jing’s goal is the century-old ginkgo trees inside.
"The road is gone."
Liu Liang squatted on the ground, pulling out the grass. There was no road ahead, so now they could say that they had to start looking for it themselves.
"fine."
Zeng Xubai also squatted down and said, "After we finish eating, we can find it ourselves."
Liu Liang nodded. "I'm not scared, I just feel it's troublesome. I have to find my own way."
"Don't be so greedy."
Zeng Xubai put the hat on Liu Jing.
"If that tree hadn't grown there, it would have been cut down long ago."
Liu Liang thought about it and agreed. Of course, those precious tree species were worth the risk.
Moreover, such an adventure is quite in line with her wishes. She had almost forgotten how long it had been since she had felt so relaxed. It had been several years. Even when she was out, she still had to think about work. She thought about work almost every day. It was hard to live like now, when she could think about nothing and not worry about anything.
To her, it really was like a dream.
Although they are now facing unimaginable difficulties, Liu Liang is looking forward to the entire search process.
The two of them had their meal here and then walked deeper into the cave.
Zeng Xubai took out his cell phone, looked up the satellite map in it, and after finding the direction, he continued to take Liu Liang with him.
Liu Jing originally thought that Zeng Xubai would use a paper map, but it turned out that he was closer than she thought and even had a satellite map in hand.
Liu Liang raised her head and looked at the sky. As long as there were satellites in the sky, they would not get lost.
"Don't worry," Zeng Xubai shook Liu Jing's hand, "I'm here to take you home."
In fact, Zeng Xubai had not told Liu Jing that he had considerable experience in jungle survival, all of which he had learned when he was in his teens. At that time, he was brave and careful, and the longest time he lived in it was nearly half a year.
Compared to those primeval forests, this place is actually very safe.
Zeng Xubai was looking for the direction, and Liu Jing took out a big machete. If they encountered any branches blocking the way, they could just chop them off.
"careful!"
Liu Liang chopped it directly with a knife, and with a snap, something seemed to fall to the ground?
Zeng Xubai looked back and saw a snake broken into two pieces on the ground, black and red in color.
This snake is poisonous.
Liu Liang took out a tissue and wiped the blade again and again. Her expression did not change, but she felt a little nauseous.
As a skilled grass digger, how could I be afraid of snakes? I just don't like these sticky things.
Moreover, it is very common to see snakes in places like this. The further you go inside, the more likely there are to be such creatures.
Guo Xubai had long been accustomed to Liu Jing's boldness. When ordinary women encountered such a thing, they would scream in fear and then touch the person from behind. But Liu Jing was indeed very tough and broke the wind with just one knife.
Liu Liang may have also noticed the helplessness in Zeng Xubai's eyes, then she raised her face and smiled at him.
Zeng Xubai couldn't help but ruffle her hair again. "Let's work harder and walk more today. In about five days, we should be able to find those trees."
Liu Jing nodded. She had plenty of physical strength and didn't need to rest. Of course, she wasn't afraid of danger. Not to mention a small worm, even a big python could be twisted into a dough twist by her.
The two of them walked like this for five days. It is impossible to say that there was no danger. They encountered quite a few poisonous insects and weeds. Liu Liang could deal with these by herself. They also carried insect repellent powder with them, so those creatures would not get close to them. They also encountered quite a few snakes, as long as they did not attack people.
Liu Jing turned a blind eye to it, and everyone lived in peace. They went to find their own trees, and they continued to grow here until they became spirits, and no one cared.
If you meet those who are blind, you can't blame Liu Liang for being rude with the machete in her hand.
In the past, Liu Jing felt that her strength was useless, especially after she became a doctor. Her strength became less and less useful. Every doctor is a weak scholar. Does he have to carry a millstone?
Over time, even Liu Jing herself began to become weak, unable to carry anything on her shoulders or lift anything with her hands. But only now did she realize that her great strength was quite useful.
The least she used was to chop branches, and she could hit the target accurately with every chop. Of course, it also saved them a lot of energy. Even if there was a big rock blocking the way, she could kick it away with one foot.
If she hadn't said it, Liu Jing might really not have noticed that in recent years, in addition to her age, her strength had also increased a lot.
Who would have thought that such a thin and weak woman who looks like a college student is actually a strongwoman? If she goes weightlifting, what will others do?
However, Liu Jing still prefers to be a soft and cute girl rather than a muscular woman.
"See? It's right in front."
Zeng Xubai pointed ahead and breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had a map, he was still afraid that if they took the wrong path or went in the wrong direction, they would only get further and further away from their goal.
Therefore, they were very lucky this time. Not only did they not encounter any major danger, but the direction was also completely correct. Of course, it was one day earlier than the five days he had expected. In other words, they found what they were looking for in four days.
Looking from here, you can see the eye-catching green in front of you, which is undoubtedly the ginkgo tree.
Liu Liang ran over impatiently, and Zeng Xubai quickly followed.
“It’s so big!”
Liu Liang blinked, a little bit unable to believe what she saw. Wasn't it said to be a century-old tree? But this one was even bigger than the one they had planted there.
that is……
This is a disease.
Liu Liang placed her hand on the big tree, which was half dead.
"What a pity," Zeng Xubai also touched the tree, "It's not easy for it to grow this big. In less than a year or two, this tree will definitely die."
There are about ten ginkgo trees of various sizes here, five of which are sick, including the largest one.
It can be said that these trees will not survive long even if Liu Jing does not come to dig them.
"Can we still dig?"
