After not going into the mountains for a few days, Jiang Wan discovered that some of the dead grass on the ground had even started to sprout again.
There were even patches of green popping up on the ground.
It’s not raining, so why are there new sprouts?
Unless... there is a spring in this mountain that they don't know about.
She squatted on the ground, pushed aside the withered grass, revealing the tender sprouts inside.
"This is……"
Shock flashed in Shen Qiwen’s eyes, and a bud actually emerged.
Jiang Wan didn't say anything. Instead, she squatted on the ground and dug the soil. After digging about ten centimeters, the soil suddenly became moist.
Jiang Wan's eyes lit up.
With this discovery, Jiang Wan dug for a while longer. The closer to the ground, the wetter it became.
It seems that her guess was correct.
"If I'm not mistaken, there should be spring water in this mountain."
Shen Qiwen's eyes fell on her, and it took a while before he moved.
"Yes, there is indeed a lake deep in the mountains."
However, he did not expect that Jiang Wan was so perceptive that she noticed the green on the ground and even guessed that there was water in the mountains.
really.
"Brother Shen, have you ever been to the mountains?"
Shen Qiwen was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I've been there, but you can't go. It's very dangerous inside."
After he said that, he quickly cut off Jiang Wan's thoughts.
Even he had to figure it out over the past few years before he could enter. Otherwise, it would be very easy to encounter some ferocious beasts.
Jiang Wan pouted. Actually, she... only had that little thought in her mind.
But she was still thinking about the stone that Shen Qiwen gave her last time.
After so many days of grinding, I finally managed to remove half of the skin.
It is a piece of crystal clear purple jade, which looks particularly beautiful especially when placed in the sun.
However, she hadn't decided what to do with it yet, nor had she shown it to anyone. Furthermore, it wasn't hers...
"Brother Shen, the stone you gave me last time was a rare piece of jade, quite valuable. I..."
"Since it is given to you, it is yours."
He had no shortage of those stones, but he didn't expect that this girl would discover the secret of the stones so quickly.
Smart indeed.
"If you want to thank me, just cook more delicious meals."
He didn't care about food before, but after he went to Jiang's house for dinner, the worms in his stomach were gradually drawn out. In the past few days, because of the conflict with Jiang Wan, he has been eating steamed buns.
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and his brows furrowed.
How can we let food lead us by the nose?
Jiang Wan noticed his annoyed look and a hint of mischief flashed in her eyes.
"Okay, if Brother Shen is free, feel free to go and eat."
"Besides, I haven't stopped Brother Shen these days."
Even if she stopped him, her parents would still invite him to go. After all, Shen Qiwen saved her and Jiang Zexing, and this was not a fake.
Shen Qiwen looked aggrieved, but he had no way to refute it.
"Be careful in the mountains. If you get into trouble, blow this and I will come to rescue you."
He pulled out a bone whistle from his sleeve and stuffed it into Jiang Wan's hand. Then he said, "I have something else to take care of. I'll be leaving first."
Jiang Wan lowered her hand and glanced at the bone whistle in her hand, then put it back into her sleeve. She chuckled, turned around and left.
The front of the cave still looks the same as before, with dead grass covering the outside and tall trees blocking the view on one side. Most people would not even notice that there is a cave here.
She walked in familiarly, and as soon as she lifted the cover at the door, Jiang Wan looked at the ground and froze in shock.
The vegetable seeds she had sown on the small piece of land she had reclaimed had already sprouted, some of which were even as tall as her palms.
Here... the soil here seems to be particularly fertile.
She turned her head to look at the seeds left here. That piece of land was much larger than the area where she planted vegetables, but there was much less green on it than in the vegetable field.
Some didn't even sprout.
However, she was not too disappointed. After all, they were old seeds and no one knew when they had been left here.
Originally, she had already exceeded her expectations that some of them could sprout.
She took a step forward and observed the small tender buds that had already sprouted. Perhaps because of the lack of light, they looked a little wilted.
Walk to the entrance of the cave, open a crack, and let the light shine in, falling on the small tender shoots.
I don’t know what is behind this cave.
The last time she came here, she discovered a crack in the deepest part of the cave. However, she didn't know what was behind the crack, and she didn't have the desire to explore it.
I stayed here for a while, taking good care of the vegetables and sorting out the seedlings of those that were originally growing too crowded.
She didn't throw away the pulled vegetables. She took them home, blanched them in hot water, added some chopped green onions, ginger and garlic, cooked them in hot oil and mixed them. It was extremely refreshing.
In addition, she transplanted several seedlings that had popped up, but she didn't know what varieties they were or what they would look like when they grew up.
She transplanted these plants back home just to try and see if she could grow them alive.
This trip was a fruitful one. There are springs in the mountains. Although the water sources that can be absorbed from the outside are limited, the land can also be nourished by the water.
Only then can there be an endless supply of new wild vegetables on the mountain.
Just as I walked down the mountain with the basket on my back, a voice came from behind me.
"Hey, isn't this the girl from the Jiang family? Has she been digging herbs in the mountains recently?"
