That night, both of them were so tired because of the sand pool that they did not even have the strength to stand up and set up a tent. Ru Yu only took out the first aid supplies, disinfectant, and Gauze from her backpack She simply bandaged both of their hands that were already torn. Then, the two of them hugged each other and lay in the desert. They looked at the bright moon in the sky and gradually fell asleep.
When they woke up the next day, the moon was already gone, but the sun was rising from the east. The morning air was cool. When ru Yu opened her eyes, Lei Zhenyu also woke up.
They looked at each other and smiled, then quickly got up. The fine sand on his body was easily shaken off. Lei Zhenyu then found another pair of pants from his backpack to wear.
As for the pair of pants from last night, of course, there was a lot of blood on both of the pants. However, he would definitely not wear them again in the future. Instead, he would use them to treasure them. These were the pants that saved him and Che ru Yu.
Ru Yu carefully folded the pants and then put them back into the bag. She smiled and said that she had gained a lot of things along the way. If they could return to Korea, her study would have gained a lot of things.
Lei Zhenyu could not help but sigh. Che Ru Yu and Jin Zhengnan went to the Himalayas and obtained a bed sheet, while he and Che Ru Yu came to the nano desert and only obtained a pair of his jeans.
However, the only thing that made him feel gratified was that the bed sheet that Jin Zhengnan obtained only had ru Yu's blood on it, while the pair of jeans that he obtained had the same blood on it.
They came to the desert to look for the thousand-year-old Orchid. In fact, Lei Zhenyu had already seen it yesterday, so it was not far from them. This morning, they did not spend much time and found it very quickly.
The two of them carefully dug out a thousand-year-old Orchid. Of course, because they were very careful, they dug for a long time. In order to take it back and feed it, ru Yu paid special attention not to cut off the root of the thousand-year-old Orchid.
Before they came, they had already prepared a flower pot, so they put the thousand-year-old Orchid into the flower pot and then filled it with sand. Moreover, it was the sand that had just been dug out, and the bottom of the sand was somewhat moist At least, it could still give the thousand-year-old orchid some moisture.
As for their own water, well, there were only two bottles of water, one for each of them. Last night, after experiencing a life-and-death battle, the two of them were not willing to drink it. In Lei Zhenyu's words, it was not that they could not easily drink the water when they were too thirsty to endure it, but that it was life-saving water.
Lei Zhenyu saw that the leaves of the thousand-year-old Orchid were very long, and there were also some elders who had experienced the weather. The leaves were torn into many narrow strips along the parallel veins. When the wind blew, these narrow strips were scattered and twisted. From a distance, it looked like.. It was like a big octopus crawling on the beach.
When he told ru yu about this feeling, ru Yu smiled and said, "the thousand-year-old Orchid is also known as the 'octopus in the desert' by people. Your observation ability is quite strong, isn't it? "
Lei Zhenyu chuckled Then, he pointed at the two leaves and said, "if the leaves don't grow bad, we can take them back and keep them on the balcony. In the future, won't the leaves grow longer and longer and gradually entangle our entire house? "
"PFFT... " ru Yu couldn't help but laugh Then, he told her, "actually, the thousand-year-old orchid doesn't grow old because of its leaves, but because of a growth belt at its base. The cells there have the ability to divide and multiply, constantly producing new leaf tissue, causing the leaves to grow continuously. The front end of the leaves is the oldest, and it either dies because of the dry climate, or it breaks because of the wind and sand, or it dies because of aging, but it keeps disappearing. Because the growth belt at its base is not destroyed, the lost part is quickly replaced by the new part, leading people to believe that the leaves will not age, nor will they be damaged. In fact, we see the leaves are relatively young, the old has long disappeared, and the only really not old is the ring of cells that have the ability to divide and divide, and these cells are still constantly renewing. In addition, the leaves of the thousand-year-old Orchid have many special water-absorbing tissues that can absorb a small amount of water from the air. This is the secret of the thousand-year-old Orchid having only two leaves but never withering."
