Chapter 187 A Nest of Bunnies
It’s okay to plant beans, but you need bean seeds.
Seeing Jing Zhen frowning and remaining silent, Yun Chenglu thought they didn't have it, so he said, "Master, if you don't have it here, I'll go home and get it."
"Yes, I'll get it." Jing Zhen said, then turned and walked towards the bamboo building.
After a while, he came out holding a small jar.
Jingzhen handed the jar to Baoya, which was full of soybean seeds.
"How come Master has soybean seeds here?" Baoya stirred the jar with her white and tender fingers. "Then, do you have chili seeds?"
Jingzhen thought about the large collection of bottles and jars in Nanxuan’s collection and nodded. There should be some. He remembered that Nanxuan had planted some last year.
"It really exists," Baoya said with her eyes wide open. "Why does it feel like Peach Blossom Spring is like a treasure chest?"
Jingzhen actually felt the same way. Nanxuan was a very magical person, as if he could do everything and knew everything.
However, to plant beans, the seeds must be soaked first. Only after they swell can they be planted in the ground.
Jingzhen then found a large bowl, filled it with water, grabbed a handful of beans from the jar, and soaked them in it.
"This needs to soak for a whole day. I'm afraid I can't plant it today."
Baoya nodded and said, "Then let's plant it tomorrow. Let's prepare everything we need and choose a good place today."
"We can't plant it in Taohuayuan either. It's too warm here and there's no need for a greenhouse." Yun Chenglu said.
That's right. Jing Zhen pondered for a moment and thought of an open space at the foot of the mountain behind him: "I know a place that can do that."
"Then Brother Xiaojing, please take us there quickly." Baoya became excited when she heard it.
As he spoke, he deftly tied the bamboo strips that Yun Chenglu had chopped into bundles.
Seeing her impatient look, Jingzhen pursed his lips, walked forward calmly and picked up the bundles of bamboo sticks that Baoya had tied, while Yun Chenglu picked up the oiled cloth that was hanging on the ground.
Baoya followed behind them. The lonely king, who was lying in front of the bamboo building basking in the sun, saw them heading towards the back mountain with his sharp eyes. He kicked his legs, stretched his body, and quickly followed them.
There is a hidden bluestone path in the back mountain. Jingzhen took Baoya and Yun Chenglu down the mountain along the path.
This road was obviously rarely walked on, and moss had grown on the stone slabs.
As soon as you leave the Peach Blossom Spring, the temperature drops suddenly, accompanied by a whistling cold wind, it's like two different seasons.
When Baoya and Yun Chenglu were in Taohuayuan, it was often so hot that they couldn't wear outer coats, and they often sweated profusely while practicing martial arts.
In just an incense stick of time, the three men and the wolf arrived at the open space at the foot of the mountain that Jingzhen mentioned.
It was indeed a nice place, hidden in the valley between Tiger Tooth Mountain and another small hill.
The land here is flat and the soil is fertile. If it weren't winter now, it would be really suitable for sowing.
"This is it," Jing Zhen said. "It's deep in Tiger Tooth Mountain and rarely visited. This place was discovered by Master. Before the Peach Blossom Spring was built, vegetables were grown here. After the Peach Blossom Spring was built, they stopped growing vegetables here."
"This is a great place to grow crops in a greenhouse!" Baoya blew on her red, frozen hands, but her face was full of excitement.
"Let's find a place to put these things down first." Yun Chenglu said.
Jingzhen walked into the valley and soon found the large flat rock. Together with Yun Chenglu, he placed the bamboo strips and cloth on it.
After putting their things away and finding the location, the three of them were supposed to go back, but Baoya couldn't find Guwang at all.
"Hey, it was clearly following me just now?" Baoya was very surprised.
"My King! My King, please come out! We should go back!"
No response.
Jingzhen also put his finger to his lips and whistled a few times, but still got no response from the lonely king.
"Maybe it felt bored and went back first?" Yun Chenglu guessed.
"No, it always follows me. Even if it wants to go back, it will tell me." Jing Zhen said.
The lonely king is very smart. Baoya and Yun Chenglu are no longer surprised that he would say hello to Jingzhen before leaving.
"Then where will it go?" Baoya wondered.
At this moment, bursts of whimpering sounds suddenly came from the crevice of the nearby mountain, like the howling of a lonely king.
"My king!" Baoya was delighted and ran over there with her legs spread out.
Jingzhen and Yun Chenglu followed closely behind, and the three of them finally found the lonely king guarding there next to the crevice of the mountain.
It turned out that they didn't see the lonely king squatting here because of the big trees and rocks blocking their view.
But at this moment, the lonely king was anxiously scratching the cracks in the mountain with his front paws, and even trying to put his claws in, as if he wanted to dig something out of it.
“Woo…Ouch!”
Seeing Baoya and the others coming over, Gu Wang quickly moved to Baoya's side, raised his head and looked at her eagerly, as if asking for help.
"Are you saying there's something in here?" Baoya saw its dark green eyes rolling around, and asked while lying on the gap and taking a look inside.
This sight made her scream: "Ah!"
"What's wrong? Baoya, step aside first! Let second brother come!"
Yun Chenglu suddenly became nervous, fearing that there might be some dangerous wild beast hiding inside.
Jingzhen stood behind Baoya, his pale and indifferent little face tense.
"It's a rabbit! Brother Xiaojing, second brother, there's a nest of little rabbits here!"
Baoya's clear and tender voice immediately put Jingzhen and Yun Chenglu's hearts at ease.
Jingzhen stepped forward and took a look. The rabbit nest was not very far inside, so he should be able to reach it.
"Do you want it?" he asked.
Baoya nodded: "It's too cold in the mountain crevices. These little rabbits will freeze to death when they are just born."
Indeed, perhaps the big rabbit couldn't find a suitable place to build a nest, so it had to pick up some hay and build a nest here.
"Stand back a little, I'll take them out." Jing Zhen said.
Baoya and Yun Chenglu took a few steps back, but their eyes were still fixed on Jingzhen.
The little rabbit is so small, it fits perfectly in her little palm!
Baoya particularly likes these little rabbits and wants to take them home to raise them.
Jingzhen quickly took out the little rabbits one by one, five in total, soft and snow-white.
I felt a little cold all over. I didn't know whether the big rabbit went out to find food or something happened. It seemed like it hadn't come back for a long time.
"Here, take it." Jingzhen put the little rabbit in Baoya's little palm.
But Baoya's hands were too small, so she could only hold two, and the remaining three were given to Yun Chenglu.
Baoya warmed the two little rabbits in her palms and was eager to go home: "Let's go back quickly, I'm afraid they will freeze to death."
"Okay." Jing Zhen said, calling the lonely king who was staring at the little rabbit next to him.
The lonely king howled, a little reluctantly, as if blaming him for not giving it the little rabbit he had taken out.
"Be good, my king. I'll give you some dried meat when I get back. These little rabbits can't eat it!" Baoya said.
The lonely king obediently let out an "ow", but suddenly his eyes lit up and he pounced in a direction ahead.
Baoya had sharp eyes and spotted the big rabbit at once.
He hurriedly shouted, "My king, don't hurt it!"
