Leisure Mountain Village

Chapter 78
With Professor Wei's shout, everyone's attention was attracted, and Lin Chen and Gu Mengxi also walked over. On the side of a stone wall in the mountain depression, Professor Wei was looking at a tree with a sigh.

"This is... a ginkgo tree?" Gu Mengxi said after taking a look.

Professor Wei nodded slightly. He used his hands to fit the glasses closer to his eyes, observed carefully and said, "It's really a remarkable tree. Look at the size of the tree and the state of the branches. This should be a tree that is at least a thousand years old. The ginkgo tree is gone, it is definitely the elder of the tree species, what a pity...!"

Professor Wei shook his head helplessly, and Zhao Jun asked curiously, "What's the pity? Professor Wei."

"Unfortunately, he's already dead." Wan Jun curled his lips beside him.

Professor Wei nodded and said, "Although the cycle of life and death is the law of nature, it is still a pity that such an old tree withers!"

Lin Chen stood in the crowd, but his body couldn't help trembling. He could feel an indescribable sadness, which permeated from his heart, so thick that it could hardly be melted away.

"Are you crying!?" Lin Chen looked at the ginkgo tree and wondered in his heart. He couldn't help but walked to the ginkgo tree, stroked the trunk with his palm, and suddenly said, "No, it's not dead yet!"

Everyone was stunned, and Wan Jun said disdainfully, "Why are you crazy? This ginkgo tree is dead. You can see that there are almost no leaves on the branches, and there are no leaves on the surrounding ground. This means that after its leaves withered, they were blown by the wind and time. It was cleaned up, but no new leaves were regenerated on the branches, and the trunk and bark were severely dehydrated, indicating that its rhizomes had rotted and could no longer provide water and nutrients for the trunk. The tree was completely dead. "

After listening to Wan Jun's words, Lin Chen shook his head stubbornly and said, "It's just very sick, but it hasn't died yet."

Wan Jun frowned and said, "You don't understand human speech, do you? You're just a farmer, and I'm an expert in botany. What you say or what I say?"

Everyone was a little embarrassed. It was Lin Chen who led them all the way here. Normally, they wanted to show Lin Chen some face, but there are many experts in zoology and botany here. There is no doubt that the ginkgo tree in front of them is indeed dead. .

"Actually, Lin Chen is right! This tree hasn't completely withered, and in a way, it's really not dead." Gu Mengxi said as a matter of course, her student's face is not given to others, but she wants to give it to her. Yes, and even though Lin Chen's words were a bit critical, they couldn't be wrong.

Wan Jun and Gu Mengxi knew each other, and had been interested in this beautiful teacher for a long time. Hearing what Gu Mengxi said, he could only say, "This... Teacher Gu's words are also correct. What this ginkgo tree really wants to say is like a brain-dead human being. Why? To determine whether it is dead, maybe different places and different people have their own standards!"

Lin Chen didn't pay attention to these, he pressed his palm on the ginkgo tree, and his whole body and mind seemed to be one with it, he could feel the endless years that this ginkgo tree had experienced, and he could feel its nostalgia for the mountains and rivers , This is like an elder full of wisdom, pure as the wind, even in the face of death, nostalgic but not persistent!

"Huh...!" Lin Chen breathed out a turbid breath, and he was a little entangled. Once such a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree was included in the mountain god's space, it would be absolutely unimaginable to improve the mountain god's space, but... at this moment, the innermost feelings in his heart Among them, it seems that they hope that this ginkgo tree will continue to live.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen no longer hesitated, he turned his head and walked to the cold pool, seemingly using a cup to get water, but actually took a cup of spiritual spring from the mountain god's space.

"What's crazy?" Wan Jun frowned.

Lin Chen came back again, poured the Lingquan under the ginkgo tree gently, and then went to fetch water. Everyone was a little confused when they saw this.

Wan Jun said directly, "Crazy, no matter how much water you water now, it's useless. The condition of this tree is very bad. There may be many reasons for the withering. There must be pathological reasons. Watering is useless. It is impossible for professional forestry experts to save it.”

Lin Chen went back and forth more than a dozen times. At this moment, he suddenly felt a tremor originating from the ginkgo tree. It seemed that a person who had been sleeping for a long time opened his sleepy eyes.

"It... will come back to life." Lin Chen's face showed joy, the spirit spring had already worked, and the ginkgo tree that was about to wither was revived at this time, and at the same time, he felt that there seemed to be a slight change in himself.

Professor Wei smiled wryly, "Xiao Lin, your intentions are very good, but life and death are the laws of nature, and no one can stop them."

"I can!" Lin Chen said without hesitation.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, really not sure why he suddenly went crazy, Ye Mumu said immediately upon seeing this, "I believe Lin, Lin is the spokesperson of miracles, if it weren't for him, we would have died long ago, I believe he can revive this tree."

Gu Mengxi also said, "I also believe in Lin Chen, he... never lies!"

"I believe him too." Zhao Jun scratched his head and said.

"Haha, I don't know much about animals and plants, but I think it's possible. You can see that there are many leaves!" Zhou Dabao also laughed.

"Lin can grow such delicious vegetables, he must be a master in planting, maybe he really has a way." Lake also said.

Luther glanced at his son, smiled and said, "Okay! This time I think the same as my son!"

Except for a few experts in flora and fauna, everyone else chose to believe in Lin Chen at this time, which made Wan Jun feel unreasonable, and Lin Chen was a little moved in his heart. science!"

"Let's make a bet!" Lin Chen said suddenly, and he said with a smile on his face, "Mr. Wan, how about a bet?"

"How to bet!" Wan Jun immediately said, he is an expert in botany, he believes in his professional level, even if this ginkgo tree is mobilized at the national level, it is impossible to save it, this is a gamble he must win .

"We will come back a year later. If the ginkgo tree lives, then I will win, otherwise you will win!" Lin Chen said.

"Yes! What's the bet!?" Wan Jun asked immediately.

Lin Chen thought for a while, "If I win, I want you... to provide me with free consulting services on botany for life, and if you win... what do you want!?"

Wan Jun's eyes lit up, and just about to open his mouth, he found that Professor Wei, Shao Yang, Lu Fengyun and other animal and plant experts were all looking at him. Obviously these sober people knew that this was a gamble that Lin Chen would lose, so they would not allow it. Wanjun is too much.

Wan Jun could only say resentfully, "If I win, I want you... offer me tea and apologize, and admit your ignorance!"

Lin Chen nodded and said, "Yes!"

Professor Wei and the others didn't say anything. After all, it was Lin Chen's gamble, and Wan Jun's request was not too much, so they couldn't stop it.

Lin Chen caressed the ginkgo tree, and Rhubarb also came over, and it circled the ginkgo tree twice.

"As expected of Lin's dog, Rhubarb also likes this ginkgo tree very much!" Yu Yemu Mu laughed.

Lin Chen also smiled, but when he lowered his head, he saw Da Huang raised a leg!

"Damn it, come again! Rhubarb, don't defecate anywhere." Lin Chen scolded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Woooo!" Rhubarb groaned aggrieved twice, and everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw this.
