Pregnant with the son of a rich and powerful boss, he tried his best to coax her

after an hour.

The car drove to a place where the color of the ground was obviously different from the surroundings.

It was a piece of black scorched earth that stretched as far as the eye could see.

The surface is rugged and rocky, with sharp edges and corners.

The earth was dead and silent, with no sign of life in sight.

Only the strong wind in the wilderness blew across the surface of the earth, bringing up a layer of charred sand.

A scientific expedition team member said:

"This is close to the border. A week ago, a fire broke out in the country on the other side of the border. Because there were few people, they didn't care. The result of letting it go was that the fire burned directly across the border..."

"You don't even know that there were many small animals escaping through the border wire fence..."

"It was our border police and local people who all mobilized to put out the fire."

"Originally there were many low shrubs and vegetation in this area, but now they have all been burned to ashes by the fire..."

"Xiaobao, can the fire lily you mentioned really grow?"

Another team member also echoed: "Xiaobao, to tell you the truth, I have been here for almost two years. Although I have heard of fire lily, I have never seen it..."

Jiang Rubao frowned, "I can't guarantee whether it can really grow here..."

"But I have seen relevant records in the local county records, and there was a serious wildfire here decades ago."

"After that, almost no grass grew on the scorched earth burned by the fire, but a rare new plant grew."

"Fire Lily is the super ninja in the plant world."

"They usually lie dormant underground for more than ten years or even hundreds of years. Only after being stimulated by the continuous high temperature of the fire will they absorb the nutrients in the ashes and grow out."

"Based on time, these two days are a good time for fire lilies to bloom."

"Although the flowers of the fire lily are very small, they are bright red in color. It should be easy to find them if you look for them in places with many cracks in the rocks."

But the scientific expedition captain who led the team looked at the sky, but his expression was not so optimistic.

"Fire lily blooms only once every few decades, for only three to five days at a time. The flowering period is very short, and its flowers will open and close according to the weather."

"We are not very lucky today. The weather forecast says there may be sandstorms. It is almost noon now and the sun is not shining."

"I'm afraid that on cloudy days like this, the fire lilies will grow out, and the flowers will probably be closed, so it won't be easy to find..."

Shi Zhijie looked at the large area in front of him. Apart from the black scorched earth and large and small black and red stones, it was almost difficult to see other colors.

After hearing the captain's words again, my heart sank even more.

Jiang Rubao exhaled and clapped his hands.

"Everyone, please be optimistic. I have always been lucky and I will definitely find it today."

"To save time, let's search separately..."

The expedition leader thought for a moment and said, "That's fine, everyone should keep the communication tools smooth and don't stay too far away from the main force..."

This is no man's land after all.

There are many unknown dangers.

"Everyone spread out, each person chooses a direction to move forward quickly, and reports on the public channel every ten minutes."

"receive."

"receive."

"..."

Knowing that this medicine was used to save lives, everyone did not dare to delay and took up the speed of a rapid march.

After half an hour.

On the public channel, no one reported the discovery of Fire Lily.

Shi Zhijie inevitably started to feel anxious.

"No, it's too inefficient to search like this. I'll go back to the car and release the drone. This will make it faster."

The captain of the scientific expedition replied: "Brother Jie, no, the wind and sand in the Gobi Desert are too strong now, and the drone will be blown down if it can't stay in the sky for two minutes..."

Shi Zhijie: "What should we do? If we delay any longer, a sandstorm will come soon, and the sand will become even bigger..."

The tone of a member of the scientific expedition team was also a little anxious, "Captain, the situation is not good. I think the sky is getting darker and darker, and the sandstorm is probably ahead of schedule..."

Jiang Rubao squinted at the gloomy sky, feeling a little anxious.

Visibility in the Gobi Desert has become lower and lower.

If this continues, it will be even more difficult to search for Fire Lily.

Sudden……

He squinted and looked into the air.

It seemed like a gray bird flew over his head just now.

That iconic slender pointed mouth made something suddenly flash in his mind...

Jiang Rubao's eyes lit up instantly and he said to the public channel: "Don't worry, everyone, I have a solution. You all stay where you are and wait for my notification."

With that said, Jiang Rubao took out his cell phone and dialed Chi Chi's phone watch directly.

"Uncle, do you miss me again?"

Chichi's little milky voice came from the phone.

"Chichi, my uncle has something very important to do now and wants to ask for your help."

"Oh, you say."

"I am looking for a Chinese medicinal material called fire lily in the Gobi Desert, but this Chinese medicinal material is difficult to see with the naked eye, so I want to ask for foreign help."

"Oh, how can I help you?"

"There is a small nectar bird in the Gobi Desert. Now the flowers of the fire lily are the only source of nectar here. Through the nectar bird, you can definitely find the fire lily."

"Chichi, please record a command immediately and send it to me so that the honey bird can help me find it."

"Okay, uncle, please wait a moment..."

Immediately, the sound of running came from the phone.

Chi Chi ran back to his room with short legs and took out a palm-sized black metal box from the drawer.

He took out the bone whistle from his neck, touched it lovingly, and then blew it into the black metal box.

Then, he tinkered with the small metal box again.

After a while, a special audio file was sent to Jiang Rubao's mobile phone.

"Uncle, it's done."

"Thank you Chi Chi, I will bring you a gift when uncle comes back."

Jiang Rubao smiled with satisfaction when he saw the audio.

This was based on the characteristics of Chichi's bone whistle, and he specially designed a device for him that could capture the sound waves of the bone whistle.

Chi Chi has already had a good time.

Jiang Rubao quickly downloaded the audio and took out a palm-sized special player.

Turn the volume up to maximum.

A burst of special sound waves that are difficult for human ears to catch, centered on him, spread out in all directions...

Soon, Jiang Rubao heard a bird chirping above his head.

Dozens of petite nectar birds with long pointed beaks flew above Jiang Rubao and circled around him.

Jiang Rubao knocked on the player, and the nectar birds cried at him, then flapped their wings and flew away into the distance...

Finally there was only one bird left, hovering over him.

In the public channel.

Jiang Rubao's voice sounded: "Everyone follow the nectar birds overhead. Where they land, there must be fire lilies."

Soon, exclamations came one after another on the public channel.

"Damn it! Why do so many nectar birds suddenly appear?"

"Yeah, where did these birds come from?"

"Hey, Captain, why do I feel like these birds are not afraid of people today and are specifically showing me the way? What kind of miracle is this?"

"Xiaobao, did you do something to make these birds so obedient?"

"..."

Jiang Rubao ignored the curiosity and inquiries in the public channel.

He concentrated on the nectar bird flying in front of him and ran forward for nearly a kilometer.

Suddenly I saw the bird circling in the air, then swooping down to the ground...

Jiang Rubao's face lit up with joy.

Have it.

He ran over quickly.

In the small gap between two stones, I saw a nectar bird extending its long beak and burrowing into a slender bright red flower that was less than the length of a thumb and only as thick as a straw.

He finally grinned.

found it.

Jiang Rubao squatted down.

Wait until the nectar bird has finished gathering the honey.

Then he carefully pried the fire lily out by the roots.

The entire fire lily is less than half a palm tall.

There are no green leaves, only a slender brown rhizome, with two small trembling bright red flowers on the left and right at the top of the rhizome.

The flowers are half open and half closed, and the orange-red color inside looks particularly gorgeous against the black scorched earth.

"No wonder it's so hard to find. It turns out the whole length is hidden in the cracks of the rocks."
