Chapter 255 254. Mutated Red Pine
Zhou Qian stared at the pine branch in Huai Yu's hand, not knowing what to say for a moment.
He looked around, it was quiet here. The new pine trees in this pine forest were of different heights, some were two or three meters high, some were four or five meters high, and some were even more than ten meters high.
The pine needles that are nearby are the kind of tender green that have just sprouted, and looking at them makes people want to pick up some.
This should be safe, right? He thought hesitantly, but his heart was beating uncontrollably, as if he had been spotted by danger.
This was the sixth sense that Zhou Qian had developed over the years of disaster. He subconsciously reached out and grabbed Huai Yu's arm: "Let's go, get out first!"
Just as he finished speaking, he felt something hitting him quickly. He only had time to quickly turn sideways and saw a large pine cone falling in front of him.
It looks quite familiar.
"Wow!" Huaiyu picked up the pine cone in surprise: "Look, look, this must be given to me by the big pine tree. It knows I'm here!"
Then he stood on tiptoe and looked up at the sky. After searching for a long time, he finally saw the shadow of a big pine tree through the gap in the woods. He quickly pulled Zhou Qian over:
"Come, I'll show you around, so that if I don't have time to go up the mountain, you can just look for the big pine tree."
Huaiyu was calculating in her mind: by autumn and winter, there should be a lot of pine cones. If she packed them all in bags, they would be too heavy for her to carry.
Of course, she has to rely on her husband Zhou Changgong.
Now I want to make myself familiar with the faces, just like introducing the family members to the Rose Corridor, I also need to introduce the big pine tree on the mountain.
Zhou Qian was tense: "It knew you were coming from such a distance, the degree of mutation is obviously very high! And..."
He looked around, the dense pine trees seemed to be trapping him in a cage, and he couldn't find a specific direction if he wanted to go. Kuang Biao's words echoed in his mind again: "...mutated red pine...pine pollen all over the mountains...silently...large pine forests share a common perception..."
Every word that sounded alarming at first made people feel terrified, but now that they are confirmed one by one, it makes people feel thrilling.
Huaiyu couldn't pull him, and felt the muscles under his hands tense as stone. He couldn't help wondering, "What's wrong?"
She realized: "The big pine tree is not the tree that Kuang Biao mentioned. It is a very good tree! It has a good temper and even has squirrel holes on it."
"If it's really that cruel, why is it so nice to me?"
But Zhou Qian clearly no longer believed her at this moment.
Because he suddenly realized that Huaiyu's affinity seemed to be unreasonable. Just like the rose corridor that everyone was afraid of, ordinary people couldn't even get close to it, but Huaiyu could easily live next to it and even constantly introduce new members of the family to it.
Could this big pine tree be in the same situation now? When he came to his senses, Huai Yu in front of him had already spread out his palm: "Look, this is the pine pollen I just plucked from the tree. It's a very common material. I sold it to people to make facial masks before."
"How can it be inhaled into the lungs, or enter the stomach and intestines through the mouth and nose?"
That sounds very abnormal.
Zhou Qian stared at the pale yellow pine pollen in her palm and even held his breath.
But after a moment he relaxed again - no matter whether the big pine tree was the mutant red pine mentioned by Kuang Biao, he was already in the pine forest. Instead of being on high alert and unable to escape, it would be better to trust Huai Yu.
After all, as she said, if the big pine tree really wanted to kill them, why would he go to so much trouble?
Huaiyu had no idea of his complicated thoughts. She only knew that the other party's attitude softened, as if he believed her judgment, so she happily pulled him forward again.
The emerald green pine needles moved to the sides without a trace, and the path they walked on was smooth and fluid. Huai Yu pulled Zhou Qian forward, and soon they stood in front of a huge pine tree that was so big that several people could not hug it together.
This time, Huai Yu quickly let go of his hands and leaned against the big pine tree, hugging it with his hands:
"Thank you!"
From the pine cones at the beginning to the pine pollen later, and still now I still remember her and the way she greeted me.
After a brief hug, Huaiyu picked up the big pine cone and said, "You obviously had some in stock, why did you only give me 11 at that time... I was so poor at that time."
The pine needles above her head shook, as if in answer. Zhou Qian stared at the pine cone in her hand, thinking about the speed and force of the pine cone hitting her, and couldn't help but make another bold guess -
Perhaps the big pine tree didn't give her the pine cone out of kindness, but simply wanted to smash his head against it. After all, his vigilance against the pine tree was quite inconsistent with Huaiyu's full trust.
Because of this guess, when he saw Huai Yu let go of his hand, he also tentatively placed his palm against the trunk of the big pine tree, and at the same time, he was alert all over -
“Swish!”
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
There was a sound of wind, and Zhou Qian quickly retracted his hand, so fast that Huai Yu couldn't see clearly. Zhou Qian stared at the ground, where a green pine needle as hard as a steel needle was stuck, with only half of it exposed.
It is not difficult to imagine that it really wanted to pierce its own palm just now.
He stared at it for a long time, and the pine needle soon returned to normal, no longer straight and hard. Huaiyu came over and asked, "What are you looking at?"
The fallen leaves on the ground were soft, and the pine needles made no sound when they pierced the soil. Huai Yu didn't see clearly what it was. He only knew that Zhou Qian's hand was quickly retracted before it even touched the big pine tree.
She sighed helplessly: "Brother Zhou Qian, you are so timid."
Then she pinched his wrist and pressed his palm directly against the big pine tree: "Look, if you want to stick to me, just do it openly! The big pine tree won't scold you."
The rough bark was right under my palms, and the edges of the reddish-brown pine scales seemed to glow with a cold steel-like luster, but no rough corner dared to cut me.
Zhou Qian smiled and looked at Huai Yu who knew nothing. He suddenly reached out and rubbed her head, making her scream. Then he laughed: "It turns out that people are happier when they are a little stupid."
"Hey!!!" Huaiyu was held down by the head and his limbs danced wildly, but he didn't forget to say to him: "Don't think I don't understand what you mean. You just think the big pine tree is the scary red pine that Kuang Biao mentioned!"
But how is it possible? The only thing to blame is that Zhou Qian has experienced too much and no longer believes in the touching friendship between man and nature.
Huaiyu pulled his hand down, and then became proud again: "They all like me and treat me well. Do you feel disappointed? Are you jealous?"
The young girl who was gradually growing up patted his arm: "Brother Zhou Qian, don't worry! In my heart, you are just as trustworthy. You are my real brother!"
After thinking for a moment, he added: "I will never forget whose land you got so tanned!"
