The eagerly anticipated corn seeds were planted at the Xindu camp and on the island, and even two seeds were buried in the western border river.
The campsite hasn't fully warmed up yet, but the temperature is already suitable for sowing seeds, and the soil isn't as cold as it was a while ago.
In addition to corn, they also planted potatoes and nettles, and they even found a few newly sprouted taro plants, which they transplanted into the time acceleration zone.
Now, every inch of land in the time acceleration zone is precious, and the total area is only so big. Except for sleeping and resting, the animals are all active outside the time acceleration zone, which is full of plants.
However, while time accelerates, the climate remains unchanged, making it difficult to guarantee that these plants will grow healthily. Therefore, they must be carefully cared for, and not all seeds should be sown on them.
Jiang Bo handed over the care of the seedlings on the island to Hou Yu's parents and returned to focus on taking care of this piece of land. Fortunately, the land was not very big to begin with, and he could take care of it by himself.
The girls refused to enter the time acceleration zone, so Wang Bing and Yun Shi had to help Jiang Bo. Actually, it was only busy for the first two days. After planting, it wasn't so tiring; all they had to do was water it.
When Chen Yang delivered the corn seeds, he also brought a few peanut seedlings, which he planted in the ground.
"Brother Jiang, thank you for your hard work these past few days," Chen Yang said.
Jiang Bo smiled and said, "It's okay. I haven't felt this motivated in a long time. Luckily, your land isn't that big, so you can manage."
Hong Gui and Li Sen from the island sent over some ironware, including a small iron pot and a kitchen knife. Although it lacked refinement, it was already usable.
Chen Yang led these people and hurried towards the West Boundary River, but not long after he set off, bad news came from the West Boundary River.
Ye Wen was bitten by a snake, and it is not yet certain whether the snake was venomous.
Chen Yang immediately logged off, called Lini to wake her up, and told her to prepare the medicine right away. Lini caught up with Chen Yang on horseback.
Upon receiving the message, Lini immediately told Chen Yang how to handle the emergency, and Chen Yang then relayed it to Ye Wu. The two then hurried on their way, continuing even after dark, though at a slower pace, fortunately aided by the bright moonlight.
By the time they reached the temporary camp at the West Boundary River, the two horses were exhausted, and dawn was approaching.
Linni examined Ye Wen and confirmed that the snake that bit Ye Wen was not poisonous. Following Linni's instructions, Jiang Yining and Ye Wu cleaned the wound and tied a rope around it to slow down blood flow.
After Linni confirmed that Ye Wen was alright, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Wu, in particular, was sweating profusely with anxiety late at night. Even though he knew that resurrection was possible in the Microverse, he was still nervous, after all, she was his own sister.
"Most snakes have now emerged from hibernation and become active, so we must be extremely careful when we move around. Be aware of places where snakes might hide, such as bushes and books. Yining, make some leg wraps for everyone in the next couple of days, and I'll also tell the people at the camp and on the island to make some for protection."
Chen Yang said.
Jiang Yining nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
"Chen Yang, we've caught this snake. Let's eat it to avenge Ye Wen," Yun Hu said, holding up the snake.
“The snake gall is mine. As a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, I’ve never eaten snake gall before,” Lina said, raising her hand first. Her Chinese has improved a lot recently, but her accent is still quite heavy.
Chen Yang glanced at his watch; it was already past six o'clock, and the sky was already bright, though the sun had only just peeked out.
They roasted the snake in the morning light, and each of them ate a few bites.
"Chen Liu, eat more, this is good for you," Ye Wu said to Chen Liu.
Ye Wen slapped Ye Wu on the head and said, "Don't teach children bad things. Children shouldn't eat too much nourishing food."
Ye Wu scratched his head and said "Oh". He felt that his sister's maternal love had been completely aroused by Chen Liu. What if she planned to get married in the future? Should she ask Chen Liu to recognize her as her godmother?
Actually, at Ye Wen's age, she should have gotten married long ago. Although she is a bit assertive and appears domineering, she has good looks to back her up, so she still has a lot of suitors. It's just that Ye Wen has never been interested in any of them.
However, Ye Wu noticed that Ye Wen seemed to be getting very close to Jiang Bo while at the camp, and the two seemed to be having a good time talking. This made him start to have some ulterior motives.
Jiang Bo was considerably older than Ye Wen, but still within an acceptable range. Although he wasn't wealthy, he was reliable. Ye Wu's parents didn't care about money; they just wanted to marry their daughter off quickly and only required that the man treat Ye Wen well.
"Chen Yang, have you noticed that my sister and Brother Jiang seem to be getting a little closer?"
Chen Yang was taken aback. He hadn't really noticed such a detail. Now that Ye Wu said it, and recalling it, it seemed to be true.
"You mean... to bring them together?" Chen Yang asked.
Ye Wu nodded and said, "Based on my years of experience in the dating scene, I think there's potential between them."
Chen Yang thought for a moment and said, "I have no objection, we can give it a try. But let's not talk about your past as a womanizer. Why didn't you sleep at Xiao Qing's house tonight? Did you two have a fight?"
Ye Wu nodded somewhat dejectedly and said, "Dating is different from picking up girls. I'm not used to it and I don't understand her feelings."
"Who can understand a girl's thoughts?" Chen Yang patted Ye Wu on the shoulder with great understanding.
Ye Wu stared wide-eyed at Chen Yang and asked, "You and Mo Xi have argued before?"
“Nonsense,” Chen Yang said. “Do you think we’re immortals? We’ve been talking since freshman year and we’ll always be on good terms? We just argue in different ways.”
"Come on, share your experience with me. I used to really think you two were immortals." Ye Wu immediately became interested. He was better at flirting with girls than Chen Yang, but when it came to getting along with someone, he was far inferior to Chen Yang.
Little Chen Liu appeared out of nowhere, his eyes wide with curiosity, like a curious child.
"Well, that's not very helpful; their personalities are too different."
Ye Wu shook his head in disappointment. Indeed, Mo Xi's personality was not a good reference. She was only missing a set of magical robes to become an immortal.
Xiao Chenliu was even more disappointed and said to Chen Yang, "Godfather, tell me about it, I want to hear it."
"Why are you getting involved, little kid? Come here, let Uncle hug you."
"Uncle, I think you should take care of your husband first."
"Pfft!" Ye Wu felt like he had been severely hit; even a child was looking down on him.
"Brother Yang, what time is it?" Jiang Yining asked.
"It's 7:58, we're about to be kicked out."
Can your watch be accurate to the second?
"Why is it a few seconds off?" Chen Yang asked curiously.
"I was even thinking of jumping up when we exited, so that we wouldn't just fall down when we entered," Jiang Yining laughed.
Chen Yang was taken aback; he hadn't considered this possibility. If it were a normal exit, there would be a delay in their bodies, and they would definitely land. But what if they were forcibly expelled from the micro-realm? This way, they could truly confirm whether time in the micro-realm remained constant after they exited. Even if it was only for a second, they would still land when they entered.
This experiment couldn't be done before because we didn't have watches, but it's possible now.
"Let's give it a try, everyone hold hands."
Everyone stood together, holding hands.
"3, 2, 1, jump!" As the time was about to expire, they jumped at the same time, but they were not kicked out, as the micro-world had not yet reached the exit time.
"Jump!" Chen Yang shouted again immediately.
This time, when they jumped into the air, they felt the world in front of them change instantly, and they opened their eyes in reality.
