Agriculture Idol

Chapter 90 Under the Stump
"How long has this Town God's Temple been built?" Li Chengxin asked the Taoist priest who led the way.

The Taoist thought for a while and said honestly: "According to the records in the inscriptions in the temple, this Town God's Temple existed in the Southern Song Dynasty, about 800 years ago. But in fact, due to various wars, changes of the times, and irregular destruction After reconstruction, our current site is only about 100 years old."

That is to say, although it has only a history of more than 100 years, under the surrounding changing scenery, this Town God's Temple may retain historical creatures that have not changed from generation to generation in Lanhai City for 100 years.

The Taoist continued: "Few people come to this area behind, so if there are any animals, it must be in this forest."

At this time, several people had already walked through the area where pilgrims usually worship, Taoist priests and staff cleaned the area, and walked into the woods they had seen in Geyue Building before.

After walking a few steps, a few people came across a small area surrounded by railings. After asking the Taoist priest who led the way, they heard that it was not a forbidden area, so they all went over to take a look, because this kind of place that is completely untouched is more special. Animal traces are easy to spot.

A few people walked closer, looked over the railing, and saw that the area surrounded by the railing was actually a small pool of less than 50 square meters.

"Release... release the pond?" Brother Xiao Yong, who had previously been thinking of looking for mud at the bottom of the pond, called out.

"Yes, but this pond was not allowed to be released a few years ago because many of the domestic fish brought by pilgrims to be released were exotic species and difficult to manage effectively, so the release pond was simply closed." The Taoist priest who led the way explained. .

"Then can we dig some mud from the bottom of the pond and use it for our planting program?" Li Chengxin asked Xiao Yongge.

"I have to ask the temple for instructions on this, and I will reply to you in about two days."

After ending this topic, the group of people continued walking deeper into the small forest.

"Then have you seen any animals around here?" Li Chengxin asked again.

"I hardly ever come here, so I don't know too well." The Taoist priest lifted up his Taoist robe to prevent himself from accidentally stepping on it and tripping over it.

"Wow! This tree is so tall!" Qi Lanting patted a tree on the side of the road and sighed. In fact, three trees away, you can vaguely see the residential buildings outside the grove.

"This is an oak tree," Li Chengxin said, stroking the rough longitudinal cracks on the bark surface of the big tree, "this tree may be about 100 years old based on its circumference."

"Wow! Come and see!" Qi Lanting spotted a stump left by a fallen tree not far from the root of the oak tree, which was half buried by fallen leaves.

"What, what?" Li Chengxin and Brother Xiaoyong hurried over.

The camera turned to where Qi Lanting was pointing, and a brown umbrella-shaped object attracted the attention of several people.

"It's Ganoderma lucidum!" Brother Xiaoyong flicked the canopy of Ganoderma lucidum with his fingers, making an "empty" sound of hitting the wood.

"Is it the edible Ganoderma lucidum?" Qi Lanting also stepped forward, knocking on the Ganoderma lucidum just like Brother Xiaoyong did just now.

"It should be able to make traditional Chinese medicine." Brother Xiaoyong replied.

"Don't you think it's amazing that there are mushrooms in Lanhai City?" Qi Lanting was excited by his discovery.

"It's really amazing." Li Chengxin's praise was a little insincere, because this kind of wood ganoderma is quite common in the mountains of Hongming Village.

Ganoderma lucidum grows by absorbing nutrients from trees. In theory, ganoderma lucidum attached to older trees will grow larger, and some can even grow to a radius of more than one meter, which may still be a troublesome existence for trees.

A tree deprived of nutrients by Ganoderma will lose all nutrients and eventually become hollow and fall over.

Meanwhile, small animals and insects live in the hollows of dead trees.

"Found it!" Brother Xiaoyong made a discovery not far from the wooden pile with Ganoderma lucidum.

"Have you found the little animal?" Qi Lanting rushed over first.

I saw a few oblong dark brown objects in Brother Xiaoyong's hands, with some small yellowish particles mixed in between.

"What?" Qi Lanting was puzzled.

"It should be the feces of some small animal." Li Chengxin explained, "And it seems to be the feces of herbivores."

"Hey!" Qi Lanting walked away with a look of disgust.

"So, let's think about why there is feces here first." Li Chengxin tried to change the subject, because all kinds of excrement and fart discussions had already started in the barrage, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Li Chengxin borrowed a small shovel from the master of the maintenance department.

The master from the maintenance department was invited by the person in charge of the program to do some work as a technical consultant. He just raised a load-bearing problem on the roof of the building, but Li Chengxin and the others were sent out to start the live broadcast.He thought that he had nothing to do anyway, so he might as well do a live broadcast with a few young idols.

Finding that the location of the small animal feces was not far from the fallen stake, Li Chengxin used a small shovel to push away the fallen leaves covering the stump near the animal feces, and found a structure similar to a tree hole under the stump.

"Could there be some kind of animal's nest under the dead tree roots?" This discovery aroused Qi Lanting's interest again, "Will there be rabbits?"

After seeking the permission of the Taoist tour guide, Brother Xiaoyong borrowed a small ax from the master of the maintenance department and planned to split the dead wood pile.

The inside of the dead wood pile has completely decayed, and the wood inside has turned into a semi-sandy shape, with some small pieces of wood occasionally mixed in.

"It really looks like there are traces of something building a nest inside!" Qi Lanting muttered.

"Ah—come out, come out!" Li Chengxin who was standing on the other side suddenly cried out.

Zhou Hao immediately controlled the camera to turn around.

I saw a brown toad slowly crawling out of the crack cut out of the tree stump. Except that the color was a little darker than ordinary toads, the tonnage was almost the size of two toads.

"This is really unexpected."

The last time he saw a toad was on Zhangba Island. Qi Lanting didn't know that the toad was poisonous, so he encouraged Li Chengxin to touch it.

Seeing the toad with bumps on his back again this time, Qi Lanting continued to run away.

"Is there any good-looking fan who can post a photo for me to wash my eyes?" Qi Lanting sent a voice message in his fan group.

The camera in the live broadcast instantly captured the scene of a bunch of pictures of beauties posted in Qi Lanting's fan group.

[I suddenly want to become a fan of Qi Lanting, this benefit is really great! 】

[Brothers in front, wait for me, let’s get together! 】

[Men other than Lan Lan are all big-tailed wolves, you will never be able to answer the question of joining the group! 】

Toads are not like frogs that live by the water all year round. They often live in slightly cold soil or dead wood, and they like dark places.

Although it is an unpleasant creature, it is not a harmful creature because it grows so big anyway. The few people put back the split stakes hastily and continued to move forward into the depths of the small forest.

【Toad: Miserable, I didn’t do anything, my family was approved...】

【Hahaha! 】
