Chapter 13 Let her patrol the mountain
Chapter 13 Let her patrol the mountain
Perhaps because of the stream, the grass and trees along the way grew very lushly.
With so much grass and trees, there was no path to walk on.
Wenwen could only try her best to clear a path while exploring inside.
Her only tool for clearing the way was that dagger.
The dagger was very sharp, easily cutting through any tree branches that blocked its path, and the cuts were clean and sharp, without any splinters.
It took a lot of effort to clear a small path, and we followed it in.
A delicate fragrance wafted by, revealing a medicinal herb field deep within the path.
"Wow, there's even this! That's a lot! We won't get sick during our exile, right, Threadie...?"
Ignoring the branches on both sides, Wenwen pulled them aside and ran towards the medicinal herb field. Her joy infected Xianbao.
“Master, as long as you work hard enough, exile is nothing.”
"Okay, okay, I'll start working on it today."
At this moment, the medicinal herb field looks like a bountiful harvest, with every plant growing well.
Unfortunately, Wenwen only knows some basic Chinese herbs, probably less than one-tenth of the herbs in the medicinal field.
She definitely needs to work twice as hard.
He secretly resolved that he must speed up his learning to read so that he could understand the medical books on his own.
While making this decision, we also made the most of Wenwen's 2.0 vision.
Through the medicinal herb field, she could see many fruit trees in the distance.
There were tall ones and short ones, some familiar and some unfamiliar, and the branches were laden with all kinds of fruit.
Red, yellow, and green—it's harvest season! Who wouldn't love this scene?
Wenwen ran to the low lychee tree, picked a bunch, sat down on the ground, and started eating.
"Mmm, delicious, sweet..."
Wenwen ate to her heart's content, juice dripping from her mouth, for in her past life she had always loved lychees.
Thankfully, she didn't forget Xianbao. "Xianbao, come here, this is delicious..."
At this time, Xianbao was also wandering through the orchard.
Given the special nature of the thread, it is truly moving around, hopping and flitting about in the orchard.
"Master, run one mile to the east quickly, there's a surprise... run fast..."
As Wenwen swallowed the last bite of lychee, she heard Xianbao's happy and urgent shouts in her mind.
She trusted Xianbao's information completely, got up and ran off immediately, disappearing in a flash like an arrow.
The offline treasure was still a few meters away. "Master, bring out the jade box."
"A jade box? Do I have one?"
"Yes, there are plenty in the open warehouse. Quickly find a few to put in the fruit."
"Oh, oh, that's true."
Wenwen rummaged through the pile of jade in the Luo family's house and found a few larger jade boxes. With the help of the online treasure, she squatted down and carefully picked the fruit. Each box contained three fruits, and she filled six boxes in total.
The fruit is bright red and translucent, as if it would break if you squeezed it, but in reality it is not that fragile.
The fruit is the same size as a hawthorn, except that hawthorns have black spots on the outside, while this fruit has small golden spots on the outside.
"Xianbao, what is this...?"
"The Spirit Fruit is used to help mortals cultivate immortality. Children under the age of 8 who eat it will experience a state of suspended animation. After 3 days, their bodies will expel impurities, and they will achieve twice the results with half the effort on their cultivation journey, with many benefits."
"What about those aged 8 and above?"
"Depending on an individual's tolerance, different degrees of pain will occur. If one can endure it, it will prolong life and also bring benefits to cultivation."
"Hmm...uh...what if we can't withstand it..." Wenwen asked without hesitation.
Xianbao really despised her, "You won't die even if you can't survive, you'll live to be a hundred years old, I really admire you."
"However, this kind of fruit usually only produces 6 fruits in 10 years. How come you have more than a dozen here? You've hit the jackpot. Cherish it and transplant the seedlings to the side of your yard when you have time."
"Oh, I know, hehe, is there anything else you need to tell me? I'll remember it all." Wenwen laughed like a fool.
"Hehe, pick them when they're ripe and store them in the jade box. There are books about these spiritual fruits in the courtyard, it's just a pity that someone can't see them in person yet~~~"
"Hmph, I'll get in there sooner or later, sooner or later," Wenwen confidently encouraged herself.
Xianbao didn't want to provoke her any further. If her master didn't want to work hard and continued to slack off, how could it improve without reaping any benefits?
Xianbao, almost ingratiatingly, continued to help her find delicious, beautiful, and fun things, including rare and useful plants.
"Master, over here, over here! The canna lilies over here are beautiful and delicious, would you like to try some?"
"Master, here, here, this little blade of grass may look inconspicuous, but it's actually very useful... Hmm... you should transplant it first..."
"Master, that flower medicine can knock a person out instantly...Master, over there...that one..."
"Master, this..."
Xianbao was patient and would give her tips whenever she saw something, depending on her mood.
She led the way, and Wenwen followed behind.
Listen to Xianbao's friendly reminder.
Wenwen finally felt a sense of urgency.
I have come to deeply appreciate the saying, "You only realize how little you know when you need it."
They walked through the herb field and the flower field, and then a large open melon field came into view, with a sweet fragrance carried on the breeze.
There are quite a few kinds of fruits and vegetables, and each kind has a small plot of land.
Wenwen recognizes watermelons, cantaloupes, and honeydew melons... but not others.
Wenwen: Sigh...
“Master, don’t be discouraged, you will recognize them all someday.”
"Yes, I won't give up or abandon you. Keep going!"
"Actually, these are all spiritual fruits, but their level is too low right now. Perhaps their level will increase once you start cultivating..."
"Can it be improved?"
“…Uh…maybe…” Xianbao was not quite sure.
"It's related to me? In other words, if my abilities improve, the things here will improve accordingly? Or can it be said that whether the things here are good or bad depends on my abilities???"
"That's understandable."
"Huh? Ahhhhh, this is pushing me to improve... I'm under so much pressure~~~"
"Yes, go out and work hard. Hehe..." After saying that, Xianbao left a trail of laughter that drifted away.
Wenwen looked back and realized that after struggling to climb for so long, she had only managed to patrol one corner.
This mountain is indeed big and high.
When will she be able to float around the mountains like Xianbao?
You should still have wishes, what if they come true!
For now, we must face reality and focus on laying a solid foundation.
……
When Wenwen returned to her cell, she didn't rush to open her eyes. Instead, she closed them to rest and listen to the sounds coming from inside the cell.
Grandmother and mother whispered, "I wonder how Dalang and Erlang are doing. My heart is just... sigh..."
"Mother, please don't worry, Dalang's father and the others will be safe..." Madam Ren could only try her best to comfort them.
"Mother, are my eldest and second brothers together? I wonder how the situation is at the border?" The aunt was also worried.
"The second son is in the rear this time, so his situation might be better."
Hopefully...
.............
The women whispered among themselves, keeping their worries to themselves and trying their best not to show them.
Just then, Uncle San reminded them: "Hey, someone's coming!"
The women stopped their discussion and remained silent.
The children who had woken up also sat up.
Wenwen opened her eyes, sat up, leaned against the wall, and waited quietly for the person to arrive.
