Chapter 1334: Resisting the Cold
As autumn approaches, the leaves of other trees begin to turn yellow and are about to fall off.
Lin Mu's leaves are still green.
The problem Lin Mu faces is whether he should shed these leaves like other trees and wait until next year to grow them again.
Autumn is here, and the leaves turn yellow and fall off. This is the fate and instinct of trees.
Lin Mu is now wise, and everything he has is at his disposal.
Of course, he can choose to shed his leaves, or not.
It's just that Lin Mu needs to carefully consider the pros and cons of this and weigh them well.
Shedding leaves is a way for trees to protect themselves.
In winter, the weather is cold and the sunlight is insufficient. Even the soil will be frozen stiff, and the roots cannot absorb enough nutrients and water. It is too difficult for him to maintain the normal survival of these leaves.
If it is not done well, not only will it not grow, but it will hurt its vitality.
If the leaves are shed, everything will become much easier.
He doesn't need to worry about the survival of the leaves, he doesn't need to absorb sunlight, and his roots don't need to absorb a lot of nutrients and water. He just needs to fall into a dormant state.
Of course, if he does this, he will stop growing in the six months from autumn to the spring of the following year.
If it is an ordinary tree, this is easy to say, it is normal to fall into a dormant state.
But Lin Mu is different after all.
He can't cook for that long.
And in the past six months, he can't grow, can't sleep, and can't do anything.
He will definitely go crazy!
Bored to the point of crazy!
Lin Mu himself can't imagine what it would be like for a tree to go crazy.
Lin Mu feels that he can't stand shedding leaves.
Especially, he has always been competitive, how can he allow himself to do nothing and waste half a year?
He also wants to grow as soon as possible and grow into a towering tree.
But if he wants to keep these leaves, it is also extremely difficult.
There are many problems that he needs to overcome.
In the cold weather, will his leaves freeze?
Even if he wants to, it will be useless if his leaves cannot withstand such cold.
Secondly, even if these leaves can withstand the cold.
Where can he absorb enough nutrients?
The sun is no longer so hot, and the ground has become stiff. It is already very difficult for him to maintain signs of life.
In this case, can he continue to grow?
If he can't continue to grow, then what is the point of spending so much effort and suffering?
These two paths, one is to follow nature and be relaxed.
The other is full of difficulties and going against the will of heaven. In the end, it may be in vain, and all efforts will not be rewarded.
It may even seriously damage the vitality and the foundation.
For ordinary people, this choice will never be difficult.
Because the pros and cons are very clear.
What is the most appropriate way to do is also clear at a glance.
But Lin Mu is very embarrassed about this issue.
Because he is unwilling to obey!
He wanted to work hard, he wanted to grow!
He didn't want to be idle.
He had already become a tree. If he couldn't do anything anymore, Lin Mu really didn't know how long he could hold on.
Lin Mu thought about this question for a long time.
Until the leaves of other trees fell off, his leaves were still green.
At this time, Lin Mu finally had an answer.
He decided to fight!
Fighting against the world, fighting against the severe cold, and fighting against himself!
At this time, the roots of the big locust tree became even more fragile and were no match for Lin Mu.
Lin Mu's roots kept spreading far away.
There were many thick roots still alive, but Lin Mu ignored them.
Because these thick roots of the big locust tree were also in a deep sleep and could not do anything to him.
Before winter came, Lin Mu tried to dig his roots deeper into the ground.
He knew very well that in winter, the top soil would become stiff and unable to absorb water and nutrients.
But deep underground, it will be much better. Unless the weather is extremely cold, it will not freeze.
At this time, Lin Mu stopped growing new leaves.
He wanted to keep the leaves he had now.
After a summer of growth, his leaves were already very thick.
Lin Mu decided to continue to deliver nutrients to these leaves to make them stronger, hoping to withstand the severe cold.
In addition to delivering nutrients, Lin Mu also often did an exercise.
He not only controlled the branches, but also enhanced the toughness and flexibility of the branches to make them stronger.
At the same time, he also began to practice controlling his own leaves.
After a period of practice, he was able to do it. With a surge of thought, he could quickly curl up his leaves within a few breaths.
The leaves that were originally open were completely closed together and turned into a very tight small leaf ball.
Such a small leaf ball is definitely more advantageous in resisting the cold than the open leaves.
Lin Mu was also inspired when doing this exercise, and it was not done casually.
Because when people are cold, they like to curl up into a ball, which makes them feel much better.
If his leaves can be trained to this level, maybe they can save his life!
When winter comes, the black rhino will no longer come.
Lin Mu doesn't know where it went.
When the first cold wind blew, Lin Mu knew that winter was really coming!
His test was also coming!
In such a cold wind, Lin Mu did not curl up his leaves immediately, because he knew that it was just the beginning and it was not the coldest time at all.
He wanted to take advantage of this short time to let his leaves undergo training and adapt to the cold.
Under such circumstances, Lin Mu still tried to grow.
At noon, his leaves still tried to absorb sunlight, and his roots also went deeper into the ground to absorb more water and nutrients.
At this time, Lin Mu was no longer growing upwards, but trying to grow his body to make himself stronger and more stable.
The wind was strong in winter. Although his body was much stronger than at the beginning, he was still worried that if the wind was too strong, he might be blown off by the wind!
To be safe, he should not continue to grow upwards.
Trying to become stronger and more stable is the serious matter.
Until the first snow fell, Lin Mu had no choice but to curl up his leaves to resist the cold.
Even so, when the snow melted into water, the cold became even worse, and his leaves were still frostbitten.
Fortunately, these leaves did not die.
When the sun was strongest at noon, Lin Mu still opened his leaves, absorbed the sun, and continued to grow.
Although it was very hard to resist the cold, Lin Mu felt very enjoyable.
He liked the feeling of struggling like this!
Because of struggle, he felt hopeful!
But at this moment, an accident happened.
Lin Mu found two people!
