With the spiritual spring space, rebirth in the red era

Xue Ming and Pei Lin reached an agreement, and if they sold 40 packs of ginkgo leaves to the supply and marketing cooperative, they could buy the sprayer for free. Pei Lin even sent a escort team to assist in order to obtain the ginkgo leaves as soon as possible.

However, it was dangerous to enter the deep mountains and old forests. Xue Ming selected five qualified ones from the dozens of escorts and ordered Pei Lin to prepare dry food, tents and other related camping items.

The next morning, five team members came to Zhaocun Brigade carrying large and small bags. Xue Ming talked to them outside the forest and thanked them for coming to help with the work.

Captain Huang Weiguang, the son of deputy director Huang Hao, smiled and gave Xue Ming a cigarette, "Brother Xue, let me tell you what to pay attention to. Others say that there are many dangers in the forest."

"Actually, it's not that exaggerated." Xue Ming liked Huang Weiguang's humor and thought about it carefully. "Let me just say one thing: don't hunt animals that are raising cubs, such as female bears and female birds."

"Comrades, you must have heard this. We cannot shoot and hunt without Comrade Xue's permission. Our task this time is to collect ginkgo leaves." Huang Weiguang spoke with great enthusiasm.

"I heard you, captain." Everyone responded in unison. To put it bluntly, the escort team of the supply and marketing cooperative is a militia team, and they usually participate in militia skills training organized by the county.

"Thank you, comrades, for supporting my work. Let's set off now." Xue Ming rubbed Dahuang's head and asked him to lead the way, and a group of people followed Dahuang into the virgin forest.

The mountain road was rugged and difficult, and they could no longer endure it within two hours. The team stopped to rest and eat dry food to replenish their strength.

"Brother Xue's physical strength is really good." Huang Weiguang gave a thumbs up. Everyone was sweating from exhaustion. Only Xue Ming didn't sweat, didn't eat anything and only drank some water.

"I have long been used to running into the mountains." Xue Ming handed him the kettle filled with spiritual spring water. "It takes two days to get to the ginkgo tree from here. There is a pond further on. Why don't you camp next to the pond and wait? I come back."

"That's not possible. Director Pei requires us to protect him throughout the entire process." Huang Weiguang took a sip of the Lingquan water and found it was very sweet. He raised his head and drank it in one breath.

The whole process of protection is to remember the location of the ginkgo tree. In the future, the supply and marketing society will kick Xue Ming away and come to pick the leaves by himself.

Of course Xue Ming knew Pei Lin's wishful thinking, but not everyone can come to the forest. If you don't have a good guide, you will get lost.

After resting, we continued on our way and arrived at the pond at dusk. Everyone set up camp and spent the night here.

They each ate dry food to fill their stomachs and lit a bonfire outside the tent. Huang Weiguang was responsible for keeping watch for the rest of the night, and woke Xue Ming at [-]:[-] in the morning to stay for the rest of the night.

Xue Ming added a few dry firewood to the campfire, entered the space and opened the God's perspective to protect everyone, and found that Huang Weiguang's tent was lit with candles and Huang Weiguang was drawing pictures with a pencil.

"I didn't expect you to know the map. The old man Pei Lin really coveted the forty-meter-high ginkgo tree." Xue Ming despised him in his heart.

Ginkgo is a rare and unique plant in China. Because of its long history, it is called a living fossil by scholars. Its fruits, leaves, and trees all have certain medicinal value.

Trees that are more than fifty years old are even more precious. I don't know if they are suitable for furniture. Xue Ming has the idea of ​​blowing out the lamp and pulling out the wax. "Since you, Pei Lin, have ulterior motives, don't blame me, Xue Ming, for not practicing martial ethics."

The team set off as normal the next day and camped next to a small river at night, the same river where they met the brown bear family.

Dahuang suddenly stood up and turned to look northwest. He let out a low whine in his throat. Huang Weiguang immediately took off the shotgun behind him and aimed at the northwest. The other four also raised their guns.

Gu Gu Gu Gu... A spooky scream suddenly came from across the river. Everyone's scalp was numb. Huang Weiguang's hand holding the gun was trembling.

"Comrades, don't be nervous, this is the cry of the ghost owl, which is a petite and cute owl." Xue Ming took out his telescope and looked to the northwest, and soon saw the ghost owl in the nest on the treetop.

Its small face looks like an apple cut in the middle. Its big eyes and petite beak form an ovo shape, making it look very happy.

Xue Ming smiled and continued to move the camera, and the next second he said "fuck", a big brown bear appeared in the camera, hiding in the grass and staring at these uninvited guests.

This was an adult male brown bear weighing about [-] kilograms. Xue Ming immediately put down the binoculars and raised the shotgun. After a while, he put down the gun again. The distance was too far and the range was not enough.

"Brother Xue, what did you see?" Huang Weiguang approached with a gun.

"It's a small elk. We don't have enough shooting range. Let's recharge our batteries tonight and prepare for work tomorrow." Xue Ming said.

During the night vigil, Huang Weiguang was secretly drawing a map again. The route and distance from the time he entered the forest to now were clearly marked.

This guy is a talent, but his bad behavior strengthened Xue Ming's determination to blow the lamp and pull the wax.

Rhubarb was alert to the northwest throughout the second half of the night. The big brown bear did not leave, but it did not dare to approach the bonfire outside the tent. This was a stalemate all night.

The team continued to set off the next day and spent an hour arriving under the ginkgo tree. Everyone was shocked by the big tree.

"What a big tree." Huang Weiguang looked at the dense ginkgo leaves with greed on his face, "It is said that Qianlong's imperial kitchen had a cutting block made of a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree."

"That must be very valuable." Team member Huang Dehou whispered, "My uncle said that a vegetable cutting block made of century-old ginkgo can be sold for dozens of yuan. This big tree must be hundreds of years old."

"Don't listen to my uncle's nonsense. Which ordinary person is willing to spend dozens of dollars to buy a vegetable cutting block? Stop talking nonsense and get to work." Huang Weiguang lightly kicked Huang Dehou. They were cousins.

Huang Dehou and other four team members climbed up the tree, cut off the leaves with scissors and put them into sacks. Xue Ming and Huang Weiguang stood guard under the big tree with shotguns to prevent the beasts in the woods from approaching.

Rhubarb suddenly stared to the northeast again. Xue Ming immediately raised his binoculars to observe, and soon saw the big brown bear in the bushes in the distance. It had been looking for opportunities to attack people.

"Everyone, please pay attention, Lao Huang, fire two shots to scare away the beasts hiding in the dark. Our main task is to collect leaves." Xue Ming inquired and reminded.

Huang Weiguang immediately took off his rifle, turned on the safety, and fired three shots toward the northeast.

The brown bear in the telescope was scared away, and a large group of birds were also scared away by the gunfire. Xue Ming put down the telescope and squatted on the ground to take a breath, feeling uncomfortable with the beasts coveting behind him.

Huang Weiguang slowly walked around the ginkgo tree and stretched out his hand to touch the bark. "Brother Xue is so lucky to find such a big ginkgo tree. No wonder Lao Pei values ​​you so much."

"You're flattering me. I spent seven days and seven nights searching for this tree in the woods. It's really hard to find such a broken tree," Xue Ming said.

Huang Weiguang smiled and waved his hand, "What I said is wrong, this is not a broken tree but a money tree. Let's not talk about anything else. The leaves and ginkgo alone can be sold for a lot of money."

Huang Dehou in the tree suddenly shouted, "There are two little birds in the bird's nest. Brother Weiguang will roast the bird meat for everyone."

"No!" Xue Ming immediately stopped. The mother of the two baby birds was kind to him.
