Chapter 79: Indian lobular rosewood (2)
On the morning of the first sunny after the rain, the air in the mountains and fields is slightly cool and particularly fresh.
The car slowly walked up the mountain, with a mountain on one side and a steep cliff on the other side, which was extremely dangerous.
This is also the special feature of the hilly landforms in southern Fujian. Many places have no way to build roads, so they can only dig a road from the hillside, which makes it like this.
Going further, the car drove between the two mountains and the road conditions were not so thrilling.
Song Wen looked out, the clouds were low and the fog was covered with green grass and trees, the sound of water was a little louder, and the long singing of the mountain birds was like a peach blossom land.
When the car reached the end, a stone wall was built between the two mountains in front of me, with sharp iron spears wrapped around the wall and wire mesh. A pass was left in the middle of the stone wall, and a tall European-style iron gate stood in the middle. It was ancient and ancient, with the white stone on the stone wall next to it, which made people shine.
Song Wen glanced at it and found that there was a camera beside the stone wall and an infrared jingle monitor was installed on the wall. He didn't know what treasure was hidden inside, so he was so vigilant?
However, now thieves are rampant. People who are almost a little rich have installed cameras and jingle devices. It is normal for people like Zeng Xin, who operate precious flowers and trees to install jingle devices.
When he arrived at the door, Zeng Xinyong honked a few times, and the big iron door opened from inside.
A burly man with a middle-aged appearance opened the door and waved his hand to greet him. He nodded and continued to drive the car in.
When I entered, I suddenly realized that three peaks in the distance were protruding, like a palm surrounding it, leaving the valley in the middle.
The valley is wide, with countless strange flowers, plants and famous trees inside. There are also several classical buildings in the style of Central and European style. They are located in it, as if walking in classical landscape gardens.
Next to those strange flowers, plants and famous trees, there are a bunch of workers who are taking care of them, pruning them, shaping their bodies, and digging them. It's so lively.
The car stopped at a building that imitates Tang style.
Song Wen got out of the car and looked up. The mountains in the distance were covered with mist, the mountains were clear and steep. From a distance, tea seemed to be planted on the hillside on the back sun. At this time, the fog had not dissipated, and the mist was heavy, covering it, like a dream and a illusion.
"Boss Zeng, do you grow tea too?" Song Wen asked Zeng Xinyong curiously.
"Plant some drinks by yourself or give them to friends, but you can't get on the table. Mr. Song, please."
Zeng Xinyong respectfully invited Song Wen to sit in the house, but Song Wen did not appreciate it at all.
"No need, since you're here, go and see that tree!"
"Mr. Song won't have a rest inside."
"I'm not that expensive."
Song Wen wanted to go and see the tree immediately. Zeng Xinyong was naturally happy, but he couldn't be rude. He asked Song Wen to take a break after seeing him insisting, so he led the way forward and walked forward.
When they arrived at a small house next to them, the two got on an electric bus in the club and drove forward.
The valley covers a large area and has all built cement roads, making the transportation very convenient.
Through countless trees along the way, Song Wen looked carefully and found that only the ones he knew were squids, coconuts, pine and cypress, osmanthus, ginkgo, yew, cone chestnuts, and camphor trees. He didn't know anything else. Each tree was at least thick with thighs and was shaped very beautifully. It was either steep and straight or gentle and elegant. It was probably sold specifically to other villas and courtyards.
"Roar...roar..."
Suddenly, Song Wen heard a roar not far away, as if it was the sound of a lion. He was surprised and asked Zeng Xinyong: "Boss Zeng, do you have a lion here too? Why do I seem to hear the sound of a lion?"
"Oh, that was raised by my friend here. Look, right there, I'll take you over and have a look." As he said that, the steering wheel turned, and the electric car passed through the bushes and headed to the side.
The roars kept getting closer and closer.
At this time, Song Wen heard clearly that the roar was not just about lions, but also about tigers and other wild beasts.
In a moment, the electric car arrived at a corner of the valley.
I saw several large iron cages on the concrete floor, and wild beasts were lying, sitting or walking. When I saw people coming, I immediately rushed to the edge of the iron cage and yelled with grin.
There were almost all kinds of beasts, tigers, lions, black bears, and leopards in the cage. He also saw a jungle python more than ten meters long. I don’t know what his friend raised so many big guys and wanted to run a zoo?
Song Wen asked Zeng Xinyong about this idea. Zeng Xinyong smiled and said, "Where are these orders placed by the boss. Recently, the wildlife management department has conducted strict investigations. He saw that I am remote, so he let me raise it for a while."
"Is this thing still someone raised?"
"Why aren't there? There are many, but ordinary people don't know it. I know that there are people who raise crocodiles, pythons, African lions, clouded leopards, Komodo dragons, etc. Some people raise elephants, but this thing is too bulky and has a large appetite, so most people can't afford to play with it."
"I really didn't expect it."
"Now that people have money, they want to find some excitement. These beasts that have never been seen are undoubtedly their best choice. In a word, it means that they are burning too much money."
After hearing this, Song Wen shook his head repeatedly. It turned out that the forest was big and there were all kinds of birds. After looking at it, he felt bored, so he asked Zeng Xinyong to take him to see the small-leafed red sandalwood tree.
After a while, when I arrived at the place, I saw a big tree standing upright among the trees. It seemed that this was the small-leaf red sandalwood that Zeng Xinrong mentioned.
"This is the small-leafed red sandalwood that I dug from the primitive jungle of India. It is said that 'Ninety-ten sandalwood is empty'. The largest one will not exceed twenty centimeters, otherwise it will be hollow. But the small-leafed red sandalwood tree I dug is not only not hollow, but also has a tall and straight body. It is a rare good material, and it is still alive and has an immeasurable value. That's why I spent a lot of money to pull it back from India. I'm almost bankrupt for this tree. Don't look at my place so big, if this small-leafed red sandalwood can't be saved, I'm not enough to fill the hole even if I sell it here."
Zeng Xinyong said helplessly with a sad face.
Song Wen also knew the preciousness of Sandalwood, but he didn't expect that it was so expensive. The most important thing was that this guy was lucky enough to find such a small-leafed red sandalwood tree. No wonder he was willing to spend a lot of money, so he was inevitably moved.
Looking closely, the small-leaf sandalwood tree is tall and although the leaves are still hanging on it, they have withered.
There was a stepped iron ladder just next to it that was as tall as the tree body. Song Wen walked up. He came to the branch and scratched the bark. He found that the bark was no longer moisture, so he broke a branch and saw that the branch had completely dried up.
After looking at it, I walked down and scratched the bark of the passing tree until the roots of the tree. Finally, I found that the branches at the top of the tree were dry. The rest were fine, but they were not optimistic.
He glanced at Zeng Xinyong next to him and felt that this person was in trouble here. He couldn't take out the bronze mirror and said, "Boss Zeng, go and get me a bottle of water."
"water?"
Zeng Xinyong felt strange, and then thought that he might be thirsty, so he quickly responded and drove the electric car out.
When Song Wen saw him driving away, he looked at Xiaoye Meitan with bronze mirror.
A orange-red sieve suddenly appeared in the bronze mirror, and the tree's rings were almost impossible to see. The meridians in the tree's body were extremely thin, like cow's hair, and they could not be seen without careful observation.
For a moment, Song Wen widened his eyes and stared straight at him.
But he cursed in his heart: You banana guava, why is your eyes so small that you are almost blurred. If you could be bigger, you could see it clearly.
With thoughts, the meridians of the tree body become larger.
Song Wen was ecstatic when he saw it. Unexpectedly, the bronze mirror could still act as he pleased, which could make the things he wanted to see bigger and smaller. Can the things he saw from a distance be seen more clearly?
But now he can only see about eight meters underground, and it seems too early to say this.
