"Host, the route has been planned. We'll take this small path to avoid the wolves in the mountains and the black bears living outside the valley!"
"However, there is still a risk of encountering pythons, but this is the only option for now!"
629 is very efficient; the route was replanned in the time it takes to eat a meal.
"Then let's get ready to set off. The sooner we get the new seeds, the sooner we can take them back and cultivate them!"
Xuan Yi stood up from beside the campfire, patted the charcoal ash off his hands. His cooking skills weren't very good; he had actually burned the meat.
However, only a few skewers were made, and she happened to grab one, getting her hands covered in dust.
well!
When you're out and about, it's best not to be too picky, but it's true that they need to find a place to wash their hands.
"Everyone, follow me!"
Hanmei walked to the front of the group and proceeded along the planned route.
When they came across a stream, the group paused for a moment to wash their hands and faces before continuing their journey.
"This is it! There's a large crevice here. Go through this crevice and you'll reach the valley!"
"Choosing this route will allow us to avoid contact with wolves and black bears, and directly cross the great crevice into the valley!"
Hanmei drew her long sword from her waist and cleared away the vines climbing up the crack.
Fortunately, although there were more loose stones in this crack, it did not pose a challenge for everyone.
Just as they were about to reach the exit, Hanmei stopped in front of them.
"Shh!"
She raised her right hand high to stop the crowd from moving forward and to silence them.
After a long time, sparse sounds reached everyone's ears, and finally, as the sounds faded away, the plum blossoms in front of them began to move again.
"We just encountered a python coming out of its burrow. It's probably out hunting for food now. Let's hurry, gather the seeds, and get out of here!"
Hanmei immediately explained the situation to everyone and then led them out of the crevice.
Soon, the scene in the valley came into view.
It must be said that the feng shui of this valley is excellent, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and abundant vegetation.
From afar, everyone could see a small patch of golden yellow.
Is this rice?
"Aren't those ears of grain a bit too big?"
Xuan Yi looked at the golden expanse in the distance, and a surge of excitement welled up in his heart.
If the crops grown by the people were as large and plump as that paddy field, it would improve the overall yield per acre in Maple Leaf Country.
Previously, a single ear of rice would yield less than an ounce of grain. However, if the rice seeds from this valley were planted, each rice plant would yield at least half a pound of grain.
Even if it's not half a jin, it's still four liang, so the difference won't be too big.
"Everyone, hurry up! Just take the rice ears; don't worry about the straw!"
Lin Xue gave the order and then followed Han Mei, leading the group to rush over quickly.
The giant python might not return for some time, but Lin Xue and Han Mei weren't afraid. However, they weren't so sure about the subordinates behind them.
After all, a python as thick as a bucket is not as easy to deal with as an ordinary small snake.
"Master, look what this is?"
Xuan Liu discovered a peculiar plant on the ground next to the rice paddies; its fruit was as big as a fist.
Xuan Liu had never seen such a fruit before. Even though he frequently entered and exited the palace and would investigate the backyards of the ministers' homes, he had never seen such a bright red and juicy fruit.
"This is... a strawberry?"
Lin Xue was speechless as she stared at the strawberry, which was about the size of an adult's fist...
Where did you see it?
She followed Xuan Liu to the place where the strawberries were found, only to discover that all the strawberries grew along the stream, forming a dense, large patch.
"Dig up more strawberry seedlings to take home, they're delicious!"
"Hanmei, quickly weave a basket and pick all these ripe strawberries!"
After saying that, Lin Xue squatted down and began to dig up the strawberry seedlings on the ground.
At the same time, he put a bright red strawberry into his mouth.
Just one bite and I tasted the unique sweetness of strawberries.
"These strawberries are very sweet and have very low acidity; they'll definitely make money if we sell them!"
With that in mind, his hands moved even faster.
While digging up the strawberries by the roots and setting them aside, he was also secretly sending the thriving strawberry seedlings into the space.
Good things must be stocked up on. Strawberries the size of a fist like these are just the right amount for her to eat at one time.
Moreover, these strawberries are wild-grown and taste great.
This tastes better than artificially cultivated ones.
Seeing that Lin Xue had eaten one, Xuan Yi and the others secretly tried one as well.
After all, there was such a large patch of strawberries, and these kinds of fruits didn't seem to keep very well, so they didn't think much of it.
After eating it, some people really liked the taste, while others didn't care much.
After all, not everyone likes to eat fruit or sweets!
Hanmei quickly wove two baskets and a carrying basket out of willow branches.
She quickly picked the strawberries and put them into the basket. If there were too many to fit, she simply smuggled them into her spatial dimension.
The basket was filled with strawberry seedlings.
The roots of each strawberry seedling were covered with soil.
This also ensures the survival rate of transplanted plants.
"When you're digging up seedlings, don't dig up entire patches at once. Choose the strongest seedlings and leave some in the middle. If we run out of roots outside later, we can come back here to dig more!"
Seeing her subordinates' somewhat reckless behavior, Lin Xue quickly reminded them.
After all, these people haven't received professional training. They're good at fighting and investigating, but asking them to do this kind of thing is indeed a bit of a stretch.
