Grandpa found another mushroom patch over there and waved his hand and called out, "Qingzhi, come here quickly, the mushrooms here are very fresh."

"Coming." Xu Qingzhi rubbed his nose and walked over.

She, her father and grandfather were strolling around the back mountain that they had rented.

Grandpa discovered a lot of mushrooms in the back mountain. Thinking about the 6,000 yuan his granddaughter gave him a few days ago saying that they were for selling mushrooms, he only goes fishing occasionally now. He has fallen in love with picking mushrooms and is so happy to see them.

Pine needles were used to pad the bottom of the bamboo basket, and I only rested after picking a full basket of mushrooms.

"This mushroom looks better than the ones on the mountain." The old man pinched the mushroom and smelled it.

Xu Qingzhi looked at the spiritual energy array covering the entire mountain and replied, "Yeah, it's indeed better."

Now that we have this mountain covered, we need to plan carefully for the future.

First use the spiritual energy array to nourish the soil and remove impurities, then add compost to nourish the soil, making the soil fertile and easier to grow anything.

She picked up a lot of large pine cones that had fallen.

This pine tree is many years old. The pine cones dropped from the surrounding pine trees are not as big as this tree. This tree is right in the middle of the top of the mountain behind.

She decided to stay and come back every year to pick up pine cones . She also picked up a few twigs and planned to go back and make some small ornaments with pine cones.

Xu Fuqiang was only thinking about how to develop the mountain. After all, it cost money to contract the mountain, and it was a cost every day.

"We also need to dig a few more large ponds underneath to store some water, so that we don't have to worry about droughts. It's also convenient to use water pipes when we need water on weekdays. We need to dig a ditch from the top of the mountain to the sunny side, and the shady side has a ditch for water to flow. When we need to develop the area later, we need to fill the ditch and dig a small ditch down."

"Yeah." Xu Qingzhi nodded. Thinking that her father would have to dig the pond manually again, she didn't know when the pond would be dug. "By the way, I remember a neighbor's house used to have spring water from another hill flowing through his house. There is also a spring on the hill over in Shijian Town. The man who owned the hill sold the spring water, and many people went to collect it with buckets. There is also a small well made by a spring over in Sanli'ao. Will there be a spring on our hill as well?"

Xu Fuqiang shook his head and said firmly: "That's impossible. If there was a spring, we would have discovered it long ago."

Xu Dongru frowned, remembering something. "When I was a kid, there seemed to be a spring here, but later the weather dried up and no one remembered the spring anymore."

"Dad, why haven't I heard you talk about this?"

The old man sneered: "I almost forgot about my childhood, so why would I tell you about it?"

Xu Qingzhi just wanted to find an excuse. Even if there was no spring, she could use the inexhaustible spiritual spring water in the space to create a fake spring.

So, she followed the conversation and said, "Grandpa, do you remember where the spring is?"

"I was too young at that time and I don't remember it." Xu Dongru shook his head.

Xu Qingzhi was just trying to find an excuse when suddenly a crow circled overhead, "Caw~" Master, this crow knows where the spring is. There is water underneath.

Naturally, her father and grandfather couldn't understand what the crow said.

Xu Fuqiang whistled to attract the bird, "How did Zhaocai come here?"

Xu Qingzhi made up a story: "It feels like it wants to take us somewhere."

As soon as the words came out, the crow really flew away, then looked back to see if the person was catching up. Seeing that the person didn't move, it cackled twice, as if urging the person to come over quickly.

Xu Dongru smiled and said, "This bird seems to be quite smart. When grandpa went to the mountains to collect herbs, there were always animals guarding near any good stuff. I rescued a black bird at that time, and the black bird always put good herbs on my window. Maybe this bird has found something good and is calling us to follow it to have a look."

When Grandpa said this, Xu Fuqiang said immediately: "This little fellow is smart and clever. A few days ago, he stood on my shoulder and went for a ride. When someone whistled at him, he quacked and responded. Let's follow Zhaocai and take a look."

Xu Qingzhi heard the crow tell her that her father took it for a walk.

At that time, she happened to meet an old man who started by scolding the crow for being black and ugly, and also told her father that it was unlucky to keep a crow.

After walking for a while, the crows stopped flying and started cawed towards the ground below.

This is a weed pile.

Xu Fuqiang was afraid of cutting someone, so he took a stick and pushed the thorns aside. He searched for a long time but didn't find anything good, just a pile of weeds.

Xu Qingzhi said, "The ground here looks quite wet, could it be a spring?"

When Xu Fuqiang heard this, he poked it hard with a stick.

A trickle of water actually flowed out.

Xu Fuqiang was surprised: "There really is a spring here, it's amazing."

He looked up at the crow standing on the treetop. "Bringing in wealth, bringing in wealth, Qingzhi, you gave it a good name. It really brings in wealth."

The crow could understand human language. At this moment, it was holding up its little head, facing the wind, shaking it twice, looking very proud.

"Haha~" Master, I want to eat beggar's chicken tonight.

Xu Qingzhi smiled and answered it with his spiritual sense: "Okay, I'll reward you with two chickens tonight."

With this spring, the water problem is much easier to solve.

The mountain is like a natural water tower, and this spring is the outlet of the water tower. Because the mountain can continuously replenish water, the spring will also continue to produce water.

It's like a cycle.

Unless there is extremely dry weather, the mountain's ability to collect water is lower than the spring's ability to lose water, and the spring will dry up.

When my grandfather was a child, the spring dried up, probably because the weather was too dry.

After so many years, the mountains have stored water again, the weather has returned to normal, and the spring has water again.

With the spring, Xu Fuqiang had something to do. He planned to use clean stones to build a one-meter-high well and use it like the spring in Sanli'ao.

The water that comes out this way is clean and easy to use.

Xu Qingzhi went back and fiddled with pine cones and wooden sticks, drilled small holes and pieced them together to make a little deer ornament. He also made one in the shape of a big cat, and glued the whiskers on with trimmed pine needles.

When the crow saw it, it flew over immediately and said, "Caw, cackle!" I want one too. Please make one for me.

"good."

Xu Qingzhi made another one in the shape of a crow, but the pine cone was too big, so it looked like a mouse instead.

The crow was not angry at all, as long as the owner did it, it liked it. It pecked at it with its beak and went to play aside.

Xu Qingzhi made another one, with three ornaments, a little deer, a big cat, and a crow, and placed them side by side on the desk.

She took a photo with her phone, opened her Moments which she hadn't posted to for a long time, and posted her first update since returning from the world of immortal cultivation.

"So cute~"
