Strange Life of a Cat - Chapter 293

[Chapter 282 Orchid]

The reason why Zheng Tan felt that the smell was familiar was because he smelled it a lot in the East District compound, and he smelled it a few days ago.

Following the smell, Zheng Tan soon arrived at a steep slope. Usually, even if there are people in the tour group passing by, they will not approach this side, or they will only approach to take two cool photos from afar. I can’t go down. It’s too dangerous for people here. If you don’t check, you will roll down, and you will be seriously injured if you don’t die.

However, to Zheng Tan, this is nothing. When the cat has climbed over the wall in recent years, is he afraid of such a steep slope?

Standing on the top, Zheng Tan first looked down, and he could see that the clumps of grass and leaves were growing a little densely. At first glance, people who didn’t understand it thought it was a weed.

If Zheng Tan hadn’t smelled the fragrance of flowers, he wouldn’t have been able to find it, and even if he saw it without the fragrance of flowers, he wouldn’t necessarily think of Old Man Lan’s favorite flower.

However, why do you smell it carefully but feel that it is a little different from the flowers on Lan Laotou’s side?

Confused, Zheng Tan went down from above. Although the slope was steep and there were many rocks, Zheng Tan could easily climb down.

Lan Laotou likes orchids, and he is famous for cultivating some precious varieties of orchids. Anyone who knows Lan Laotou knows that the old man’s favorite is not the flower seeds of the 100,000 million-level expensive dead people. The old man likes the most. It is the iron bone element that many people who raise orchids have raised at a relatively low price.

Just like the name of the old man Lan.

Everyone in the compound knows Professor Lan, who is very good at raising flowers, but now many people have forgotten Professor Lan’s name – Lan Tiesu, maybe it’s the reason for the name, or it may be other reasons.

The old man Lan prefers iron bones.

Except for some areas in the south where orchids are suitable for growing, people who grow orchids in many places in China have the feeling that Tiegusu diligently and lazy flowers, the leaves are growing in a clunky manner, but the flowers rarely bloom, and some people have not seen them for several years. overly blooming.

But the old man Lan is really good at raising orchids. Zheng Tan can smell the orchid fragrance of iron bones every year. Maybe these are not from the same plant and the same flower pot, but it does not affect Zheng Tan’s familiarity with this smell. .

In the bushes of grass down the slope, Zheng Tan took a look.

Found the source of the floral fragrance.

somewhere in the grass.

There are five plain white flowers on the upright scape, and the appearance of the flowers is similar to the one raised by the old man Lan, except for the slight difference in color.

besides.

The five plain white flowers also have a jade-like texture.

The flowers from Old Man Bilan grow well, and the fragrance is different from Old Man Lan, and it smells very comfortable.

Zheng Tan doesn’t know much about orchids.

Even though he saw a lot of them, he didn’t bother to pay attention. He felt that the leaves of orchids were similar, so he could only judge by the flowers in front of him that the flowers should be of the same type as those raised by the old man Lan.

If the old man Lan was here, he would be able to look at its species based on its leaf shape, leaf pants, and leaf quality, and speculate and judge what kind of flowers it would bloom, etc. Unfortunately, Zheng Tan didn’t understand anything.

I don’t know, and

I don’t care much. He used to despise the old man Lan’s obsession with orchids. Isn’t it just flowers, why is this so?

Zheng Tan stared at the flower in front of him, studying what attracted people to the flower.

One minute passed…

Five minutes passed…

Half an hour passed…

Another gust of mountain wind blew past, and some fine stone particles fell from the top of the steep slope, landing on Zheng Tan’s head and feet.

Zheng Tan shuddered to his senses, and before he knew it, he stared at the orchid in front of him for a long time.

This is not normal!

Zheng Tan is really not interested in flowers at ordinary times, even the few pots that old man Lan sold at a high price, Zheng Tan went to see them, but this kind of thing has never happened before.

Taking two steps back, Zheng Tan looked at the flower in front of him again. This time, he didn’t stare carefully. He moved his eyes to the grass leaf next to the flower. Zheng Tan walked up and took a sniff, and pressed his nose on the leaf again. After sniffing carefully, although the leaves look the same, the smell of the leaves seems to be slightly different from that of the old man Lan.

Zheng Tan carefully sniffed the flowers and leaves when he saw the sheriff nibbling on orchids and leaves at Chuhua University, so he remembered the smell of leaves.

After sniffing, Zheng Tan squatted and thought.

I always think this flower is weird, is it a new variety?

Or those flower seeds that Zheng Tan has never seen or smelled before?

Otherwise, dig a little and go back to Old Man Lan to study it?

But thinking of the kind of flowers that old man Lan said, the flowers live in groups, and the root system is still developed. What if the roots below are all connected together?

Zheng Tan didn’t have the energy to dig out a little bit.

Looking at the flowering area, there is too much grass around, and it is estimated that it is difficult to dig.

Zheng Tan found it troublesome.

You can’t dig big ones, just dig some small scattered ones.

Zheng Tan walked around this large clump, walked to a place, pressed his nose on the page, and sniffed, which really made him discover a lot of problems.

The smell of grass leaves here is not exactly the same, some are similar to the leaves of Lan Laotou, and some are the same as the leaves next to the flower just now.

Therefore, if Zheng Tan wants to dig some back for Old Man Lan to study, he has to find the same flower as just now.

Looking around, Zheng Tan found a rusty iron fork. There were also some instant noodle boxes and other garbage around, which were probably thrown here by tourists during the Golden Week.

Zheng Tan didn’t have the heart to despise those littering guys, so he started digging seedlings.

For someone like Zheng Tan who usually doesn’t pay attention to flowers and plants, digging grass is a tossing. If old man Lan saw how Zheng Tan was digging grass rudely, he would definitely raise his eyebrows and roar: “It’s nonsense!”

While Zheng Tan was trying to toss the flower seedlings, the two people who were looking for Monkey’s duty station were talking on the phone.

“I said don’t worry, come and see, those monkeys are having fun again, it’s really nothing… Da Da Qi? Da Da Qi is here, and they had a lot of fun with the other monkeys.” Da Da

Qi looked at it. To the person who called, with accusation in his eyes.

Which eye saw it having fun?

!

It’s a pity that the caller couldn’t understand Qi Da’s eyes at all, and still chatted with the person on the phone.

“Cat? Didn’t see the black cat… OK, I’ll pay attention and let you know when I see it.”

At the hotel on the mountain, the hotel owner hung up the phone and told Pei Liang what he had just heard on the phone.

“Qi didn’t go to cause trouble? It’s really unexpected.” Pei Liang still knew his monkeys very well, but now he said he didn’t see a cat.

This is strange.

“I guess I didn’t catch up, that black coal is very slippery.” Er Mao was not too worried.

“Let’s go and see.” Pei Liang decided to go and see for himself.

“Okay, I’ve had enough rest anyway.” Er Mao also got up.

Leaving the hotel, Pei Liang took Er Mao towards Qi Da Da.

Zheng Tan looked at the two connected seedlings that he had dug up. This was the one he removed from the pile. There were only five leaves, plus two new leaves on the top and bottom, which was barely seven leaves, two seedlings. The roots are broken down, looking at the pathetic strength.

I don’t know if these two seedlings will hang.

Dig out.

It’s a pity to throw it here.

He found a vine, put the seedling on his back, and Zheng Tan rushed up from the bottom of the slope.

When climbing up the slope, a leaf broke.

no way.

The leaves are too long.

For a leaf that is thirty or forty centimeters long, Zheng Tan didn’t pay attention to it when he climbed the slope, and he was lucky enough to break such a leaf.

After going up.

Zheng Tan turned around and looked at the bottom of the slope. Because of the angle, he couldn’t see the flowers blooming below. He could only smell the aroma from below from the occasional change in the mountain wind.

The direction of the mountain has changed, and Zheng Tan’s cat nose is more sensitive than the human sense of smell, so I found this place. Besides, the flowers here are not blooming often, so even if someone knows that there are orchids there on weekdays, I didn’t see it blooming, and thought it was the same as the orchid that many people in the village raised at a low price.

Zheng Tan also felt that it was not valuable, and he really had no appreciation for flowers.

Identifying the direction and listening to the movements from the monkeys, Zheng Tan walked over there.

When Zheng Tan was about to return to the place where the monkeys were playing “baseball”, he also heard human voices, including Er Mao shouting.

Zheng Tan removed the seedlings on his back, put them aside, threw off the vines, and waited there.

After Er Mao and the others found Qi Da, they also quickly found Zheng Tan.

“Hey, black coal, where did you pluck the grass?” Er Mao leaned over and flipped the two tossed grasses and said.

“Let’s go, it’s getting late, go back down the mountain.” Pei Liang reassured Qi Da, knowing that this guy was probably wronged, but fortunately he didn’t see any injuries on his body.

“Okay.” Er Mao responded, got up to leave, and found that his trouser legs were hooked and a hole was hooked.

Looking down at the cat’s paw that ripped through his trousers, turning around, Er Mao looked at Zheng Tan, “What’s wrong with you?”

Zheng Tan looked at the two seedlings.

“Bring it?” Er Mao picked up the two seedlings, “Isn’t this going to survive?”

No matter what, it was no trouble to bring the two seedlings. Gong Qin also found a bag to wrap the roots of the seedlings. It doesn’t matter if it’s useful or not, it looks better this way, and it’s convenient to carry, saving you from accidentally destroying the root.

After going down the mountain, an old man from Pei Liang’s family took care of Zheng Tan’s two seedlings. He thought they were found by Er Mao from the mountain, and used a nice little flower pot.

“Can this survive?” Er Mao asked the old man who helped deal with it when he went downstairs after placing the black rice.

“Should be able to, this thing is easy to care for.” The old man didn’t care much.

“Do you think there is anything special about this grass?”

“It’s nothing special, it’s just a relatively common orchid. Many people plant it here, and we have quite a few in our yard.” The old man said.

This is a tourist area. People are always moving, and many people go up the mountain. Some people go deeper. They have never heard of any rare species of orchids.

Ermao looked at the place where the old man was pointing, there were quite a lot of them, and they looked about the same. I don’t understand why the cat brought the grass back, is it for eating?

After staying at Pei Liang’s house for four days, Zheng Tan went to see the orchid that was taken care of by the old man with him every day.

After returning to Chuhua City, Ermao brought the pot of orchids and the photos that were not very good-looking and brought them upstairs to Jiao’s family.
