Chapter 496 Bamboo Blossoms
Chapter 496: Bamboo blossoms
These people did not come out together, but walked out of the woods. It can be seen that they must have been ambushed in a certain place in advance, waiting for the iron beast to come to the door after dark. This shows that these people still have only a little understanding of the iron beast's habits. //.com Novel Network//
At this time, a mountain wind blew, and Chou Chou suddenly jumped up: "Brother, look, flowers are falling from the sky." He spread his palms and sent them to Wang Kuang.
Wang Kuang looked at the small flowers, the size of rice grains, purple, brown or green, with three light yellow pollen pillars in Chou Chou's palm, and his heart sank, and he felt that things were not that simple.
That is bamboo flowers. Bamboos only bloom once in their life and die after they bloom. During the flowering period, bamboo will not spawn again. Without bamboo shoots, there will be no Hsinchu. Without Hsinchu and bamboo shoots, the food source of giant pandas will become a problem. And almost every mountain, although the bamboo forest is sometimes connected by a few acres and dozens of acres, this bamboo forest belongs to the same plant in strict sense. Bamboo whips buried deep in the ground are the main stems of bamboo. The bamboo that grows are just branches. If you want to select the single plant with the largest area in the world, bamboo is a well-deserved first name. A bamboo blooms, that is, a large area in the area. When the entire bamboo forest blooms, this bamboo forest will die.
There are many kinds of bamboo flowers. Depending on the variety of bamboo, the colors of the flowers bloom differently. The only similarity is three light yellow pollen columns, and the flowers in Chou Chou's hands are all three colors. Wang Kuang is almost certain that all the bamboos in Fangshan may have bloomed, and they have not just bloomed. From the tone of the young man's speech just now, it can be seen that giant pandas come down the mountain to steal food. You must know that it is not a day or two that the giant pandas come down the mountain to steal food. You must know that it is midsummer, and it is the time when bamboos are lush. If it weren't for the shortage of food, giant pandas would not come to steal food.
A feeling of powerlessness suddenly surged in Wang Kuang's heart. The world was big. Even if Wang Kuang had the ability, he would not be able to turn things around when encountering this situation. The giant panda has a gentle personality, but it is also a very shy animal. Only when he is helpless can he find humans for help. Generally, he will run away when he smells the breath from afar. Their noses inherit the sensitivity of the bear category. Some people once classified giant pandas as the king of bears. Although the main reason for their honesty and cuteness is that their sense of smell has also added a lot of points to it. (, watch the latest update of this book)
Looking around, Wang Kuang's heart became heavier. Generally speaking, in a mountain, bamboo blooms for only three years at most. In the fourth year, the bamboos will die, and some bloom fast, all bloom in just one year. However, the scene in front of him made Wang Kuang unhappy. He had not noticed before, but now standing on the hillside, looking around, the color of the bamboo forest that was reflected in his eyes is yellow-green, which means that the bamboo flowers are not the first year this year, and may have started to bloom the year before last year.
At this time, the hunter summoned by the young man had already approached. The young man greeted him and whispered to discuss something with a middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader. He should have told them Wang Kuang's promise. Then he saw that the men showed more or less happy smiles on their faces, and their originally frown brows were relieved a little.
Wang Kuang further established his previous judgment. He turned around and called a guard who had been with him for many years, whispered a few words. The guard responded and returned to the camp, untied a tied horse, and got on the horse and left.
"Erlang, what are you doing?" Xu Guoxu faintly heard Wang Kuang's explanation, as if he wanted the guard to go back and ask Wang Xian to find a way to make the people of Fangling's people have a variety of Hsinchu, and also transplant multiple varieties of bamboo from various places to Fangling to plant them. It would be fine to transplant those tall bamboos, but they could build houses, make arrows, make cans and other things. But he clearly heard that Wang Kuang's request for transplantation was to find those thin and short bamboos that were no more than two people tall, except for fences or other rare objects such as bamboo poles, they were almost no one to plant them, so he asked.
"This iron-biting beast in Fangshan is probably not going to be able to survive this winter. I can't sit still and watch it. I can save as much as I can." Wang Kuang sighed and brought the bamboo flowers taken from Chou Chou to Xu Guoxu, "Guoxue, do you know what this is?"
"Isn't it just a wild flower? Could it be that it's poison that can poison the iron beast to death?" Xu Guoxu was not stupid. He thought about it and knew that the flower must be related to the iron beast. However, although there are bamboos in Chang'an, it is not many, and bamboo blooms are not common. It takes almost every fifty or sixty years to bloom, and some even take every hundred years to bloom. In addition, the bamboo flowers are small in nature, and if you don't pay attention, no one will notice it, so he didn't know that it was a bamboo flower.
"This is the flowers blooming of bamboo. Look at the flowers, there are only so many of them. There are only so many kinds of them? The bamboo only blooms once in a lifetime, and it will die after it blooms. You are looking at the surrounding bamboo forests. Are the colors of the surrounding bamboos? The staple food of the iron beast is fresh bamboo. The bamboo in Fangshan will almost wither this winter. The iron beast has no food and is waiting to starve to death." Wang Kuang rubbed his eyebrows. He really couldn't think of any good way to help the giant panda. The only way he could do was to let Wang Xian use money to stimulate Fangling people to plant bamboo on the mountain. Even if he wanted to make all the income from his Wang family this year, he was willing to do it. These are all national treasures. If one can be saved now, he may have hundreds or thousands more heads in the future.
Of course, if this measure was issued by the court to issue the decree, it would be better to implement it, but who can now have the same consciousness as Wang Kuang and be able to detect the preciousness of giant pandas? Wang Kuang could not swear to Li Shimin that this iron beast would be extremely precious in more than a thousand years, right? Who would believe it when you say it? If Wang Kuang was not the identity he had passed through, and there was no common sense in more than a thousand years later, if others said this, Wang Kuang himself would not believe it.
So at present, Wang Kuang can only do this with his own strength. However, after doing this, if they know that they spend money to plant useless bamboo, they will probably become a joke. This is not the main thing. What's more serious is that there are many people with Wang Kuang now. If other families also plant bamboo, they will not benefit much. The consequences will not be great.
"Dalang, go and stop the guards I just sent. This matter should be discussed for a long time." Xu Guoxu thought of this earlier than Wang Kuang, and Wang Kuang realized that he had already ordered Huang Da. "If you want to do things, don't be in a hurry. Erlang is not thinking about it." Wang Kuang's nature has always been doing what he thought of. Xu Guoxu has a deep understanding of this. Wang Kuang has not yet reacted. If Wang Xian has waited until he reacted, and Wang Xian has always regarded his second brother as a god, he will definitely be executing it vigorously when he receives the order. I am afraid that it will be too late to that time.
Huang Da was by his side all the time. When he heard Xu Guoxu say this, he thought of the consequences of doing so. He turned around and left. His horse was much better than the horses of ordinary guards. Not to mention that he only delayed a cup of tea, even if he set off in two or three hours in the evening, he could recover the guard in one day. Here, it would take two days to get away from Fangling City.
At this time, the group of people had already discussed and walked back. Seeing Wang Kuang staring at the bamboo flowers in his hands, it was hard for them to disturb them. The middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader and had a piece of deer skin around his waist smiled and said, "This gentleman is also a elegant man, and he likes such elegant bamboo flowers."
Wang Kuang angrily put the bamboo flowers in his hand on the ground: "I am not a gentleman, but I am just seeing the bamboo flowers. I am sad for the iron beast in my heart. I think that the iron beast is stupid and can be withered, and I eat bamboo all my life. Now that the bamboo flowers bloom, the bamboo forests all over the mountains are about to wither. The iron beast has lost its food source. How can this winter pass?" He had no intention of dealing with this middle-aged man, although he also heard it, this man is probably not a man.
The hunter is so simple. At least, he is educated, not the kind of person who is just enlightened. A person's cultivation and preferences cannot be cultivated after three or five years of influence. Most people like big and purple flowers, and they like strange fragrances or faint fragrances. If they are not immersed in poetry and books for many years, few people can experience the elegance of bamboo flowers. At least, Wang Kuang himself cannot do it. If he likes elegant flowers, it will also be flowers such as orchids.
"Oh, I heard from the dog that I wanted to catch the iron beasts that were stealing food in my village in the future. I thought my husband was just a curious person, but he knew the habits of the iron beasts. He said that he had seen the iron beasts several times in this mountain for more than 20 years. It was the first time he heard that the iron beasts were made of bamboo as the main food. Instead, he saw that the iron beasts were in the supreme position, but he knew more than some other ordinary people in the mountains. He was ashamed, ashamed." The middle-aged man still had a complimentary tone.
Xu Guoxu frowned and said, "You are so poor, don't be so sad. Erlang of a certain family doesn't like being so sad in his life. You say one thing, and then say two things. Don't do that flattery. This is also a certain family. Erlang of a certain family wants to change to another kinder person. I'm afraid it will hit your forehead with a big fist." He was talking about Cheng Chumo and a few. Although Cheng Chumo and a few read a lot, they are the people who hate the most. Who dares to drop the paper bag in front of them like this? If they are elders, he will make excuses to slip away. If they are peers or juniors, they will be beaten and kicked.
Anyone can hear that among these dozen people, the middle-aged man was clumsyly flattering Wang Kuang. Perhaps because the conditions that Wang Kuang had promised before were too generous for them. This is also because people are poor and have little ambitions, and they must not blame others. How many people in this world can truly be strong? There are many examples of heroes and heroes that have a penny.
