Chapter 72: Chapter 72-burning wood, afternoon sunshine
After the fire, the scenery had indeed changed a lot.
Because of the excessive growth of herbs, Ning Fei saw a few hares along the way.
The Little Falcon was not hungry now, but it still stared at the hares with sharp eyes.
“Little Falcon, we can’t eat roasted hares today. This place is dry and the sun is directly shining. It’s too dangerous to start a fire.”Ning Fei stopped the little falcon from hunting in time.
The little falcon flapped its wings and obediently stopped moving.
When Ning Fei was having a picnic in the forest, he would always consider the situation around him. If one paid close attention, they would realize that every time he lit a bonfire, it was not far from the river. There was water, and the air was relatively humid.
“Most of the trees on this mountain are ordinary Chinese fir trees. Occasionally, there will be other species.”
“By the way, it’s illegal to cut down precious wood like silver fir and camphor wood. It’s also illegal to cut down forest wood on a large scale without permission.”
“These actions violate the criminal law and the Forest Law. You’ll have to pay compensation and go to jail.”
“I don’t plan to cut down the growing trees today. I’m just looking for trees that have died after the fire. Is there any suitable one?”
Ning Fei explained to the netizens calmly.
“Everyone knows that lightning strike wood is a top-grade wood.”
“Lightning strike wood refers to trees that were struck by lightning on a rainy day. The common people generally think that lightning strike wood is split by lightning from the heavens. Ghosts are deeply afraid of it and it is the most powerful evil-warding magic item.”
“In fact, trees that are still intact after the fire have the same effect. They are also top-grade wood!”
“Look over there, there’s a big tree!”
At this moment, Ning Fei’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Seeing his expression, the netizens all looked over.
It was a very tall tree. Its branches needed two people to hug it. In order to obtain enough space to survive, the branches of the trees in the deep mountains grew very tall.
This big tree had already withered, and there were no traces of green. Only its huge branches had witnessed its former glory.
“Everyone, look. Although this tree experienced the forest fire, its branches were able to remain so intact. Its quality must be very high.”
Ning Fei walked over, his face full of amazement.
“What a big tree!”
“What kind of tree is this? It can still remain intact after the fire?”
“This is the first time I’ve seen such a huge withered tree!”
“D * mn, Am I seeing things? That big tree is camphor wood?”
“What is camphor wood? Is it very expensive?”
“Camphor wood is one of the rare tree species in our country. It’s a rare and high-grade wood that is often used to make furniture. It’s very expensive.”
“D * mn, the host is so lucky.”
After the netizens saw the big tree, they started discussing excitedly again.
As they got closer, as expected, it was indeed a camphor wood.
“Such a big camphor wood?”Ning Fei exclaimed. Even though this tree had been dead for many years, Ning Fei could still smell a faint fragrance, which made him feel particularly comfortable.
“Dear viewers, this is a camphor wood. The characteristics of camphor wood are that the whole tree has a fragrance, the wood is fine, the texture is exquisite, and the patterns are exquisite. The texture is tough and soft, it is not easy to break, and it is not easy to produce cracks.”
Ning Fei had the skill “Encyclopedia of plants”. Once he saw camphor wood, the information about it would be in his mind.
“The fragrance produced by Camphor Wood has a unique and practical function. It can drive insects and prevent mildew, and prevent clothing from corrosion. Since ancient times, it has been the best material to make closets and boxes. It is even more suitable to be used as a plaque.”
“The drawback is that the fragrance of the Cinnamomum camphora wood can affect the quality of sleep. It can make people excited and even lose sleep. It can also cause dizziness and other problems. It is not suitable to be used as a bed.”
Ning Fei was very excited, and his expression became cautious.
Then, something unexpected happened to the netizens.
Ning Fei used his right foot to tap on the tree trunk, and then used the force to jump up. After that, he used his left foot to tap on the tree branch next to him, and jumped high again. He used his hand to grab a thick branch on the tree, and with a sway.., he jumped onto the top of the camphor tree.
One had to know that this camphor tree was about seven to eight meters tall, and there was only a slightly protruding branch below it.
Normal people would have to spend a lot of effort to climb up.
But now, Ning Fei, just like how he practiced Qinggong, went up so easily?
“F * ck, what is that? Wudang Cloud Steps?”
“Tianyunshen, is that the technique where the left foot stomps on the right foot, and then the right foot stomps on the left foot to go up to the Sky?”
“That’s right, it’s that technique. It’s the same principle as me lifting my neck to fly.”
“66666!”
“There’s a scientific explanation for this. As long as your left foot stomps on the right foot fast enough, Newton won’t be able to catch up to you.”
“F * ck, Newton can’t catch up to you!”
“They’re all experts. I’m impressed!”
The netizens were both amazed by Ning Fei’s superb footwork and amused by the bullet comments.
However, what Ning Fei did just now was truly shocking.
Now that his physical fitness was getting stronger and stronger, coupled with the skill “Huaxia Martial Arts”, it was normal for him to make some graceful movements.
The Little Falcon was originally landing on the trunk of the camphor tree, but when it saw Ning Fei coming up just like that, its small eyes were immediately filled with great doubt.
It looked as if it was thinking, could it be that its master could fly?
Ning Fei was only coming up to confirm whether the camphor tree had sprouted new buds. Some trees might take a long time to sprout new buds.
“It’s indeed dead, but the trunk is still intact.”
As he said that, Ning Fei jumped down again.
“Let’s make some more science. Even if it’s a dead tree, cutting it down is still against the criminal law.”
Ning Fei looked up at the camphor tree and laughed. He didn’t expect to be so lucky to meet such a tree today.
Then, Ning Fei temporarily turned off the live broadcast and let the drone fly to broadcast the scene of the mountain. Then, he called the forest ranger of Qinshan village.
“Hello, Old Bi, I found a dead tree. It’s camphor wood. It’s very big. You and the Forestry Bureau have to react. This tree needs to be dealt with, or it will affect the overall construction of the forest,”Ning Fei said with a smile.
“Really? Camphor Wood?”A slightly puzzled voice came from the other end of the phone.
Old Bi was his nickname. His name was Yong Tao, and he was a forest ranger in Qinshan village. At the age of 23, he was able to get a civil service position. His family also had some connections in Qincheng.
As for why Yong Tao’s nickname was Old Bi, it was because people liked to use nicknames in high school, and these nicknames were often shocking.
For example, Yong Tao was given the surname “Bi”by his bad friend. At first, everyone didn’t understand what it meant. Then, they linked the three words together and said “Bi Yong Tao”. It was a homonym that was used to isolate future generations, only then did everyone come to a realization.
Oh, so that was the case.
At this point, Yong Tao became famous in one battle.
Throughout the entire high school era, no one had ever called him Yong Tao. Instead, they all called him Old Bi.
Old Bi was an optimistic person by nature. He did not care about this at all. Basically, he could play with everyone. He was one of the most popular people in the class.
“Yes, I can confirm that it was a dead camphor tree. It was at the place where the fire happened three years ago.”
“It was there. No wonder. At that time, the Forestry Bureau was cleaning up the burned trees. Many of the trees were left there without knowing if they were dead or alive.”Yong Tao nodded and said.
“I happen to be patrolling the forest today. Wait for me for a while. I’ll be there in a while!”
“Okay.”
The reason why Ning Fei called Yong Tao was that Yong Tao would report the discovery of a dead tree to the Forestry Bureau. The Forestry Bureau could not send people over just for a tree, so they would let Yong Tao handle it.
Of course, the camphor wood would definitely be kept as a sample for registration.
After that, the forestry bureau would handle the wood. Ning Fei would just have to buy it personally.
This was in accordance with legal procedures. If Ning Fei directly cut the camphor wood, the next step might be to broadcast prison life live. Ning Fei had to draw a map of the prison on his body in advance. After that, he would hook up with female prison doctors and find helpers. That was another story.
It would still take a while for Yong Tao to come over. Ning Fei was a little bored, so he simply jumped onto the camphor wood and leaned against the tree trunk. He lay on a branch and planned to rest for a while.
This scene was very leisurely.
Not to mention, lying on the tree was quite comfortable. Ning Fei immediately felt a little sleepy.
When the netizens saw this scene, they were speechless and had an additional sense of envy.
Their surroundings were the purest natural environment. In such a place, the air would definitely be very fresh. If they could sleep, it would naturally be even more comfortable.
“Hey, Ning Fei!”
After an unknown amount of time, Ning Fei suddenly heard someone calling him from below. Looking carefully, it was Yong Tao.
Yong Tao’s figure was relatively well-proportioned. He wore a set of standard ranger work clothes and carried a box in his hand.
Ning Fei jumped down from the tree.
“Here, this is for you.”Yong Tao took out a box lunch from the box and handed it to him. The Rangers usually brought their own lunch when they went up the mountain. Fortunately, Yong Tao had an extra set.
Then, the two of them sat on the grass and began to chat.
“I’m getting married in a few months,”Yong Tao suddenly said as they chatted.
Upon hearing this, Ning Fei almost choked. He widened his eyes and said in surprise, “Getting Married? So early?”
“Yeah, my job is just for stability. I don’t have any other pursuits. I’m just short of having a family.”Yong Tao’s face was filled with happiness. “You know the bride too.”
“Who is it?”
“Hehe, Lin Fang.”
“Lin Fang! Damn, you got her in the end. Amazing, Amazing!”Ning Fei laughed, feeling exceptionally happy.
Yong Tao also laughed.
It was afternoon time. The high school classmates were under the shade of the trees outside the mountains. They ate their lunch boxes and chatted about the interesting things of the past. In the midst of their leisure, there was an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
There were times in life when one was really not that tired. When one calmed down, one would see many beautiful things.
