Chapter 154: The Formation of the Stinking Ditch (2/2)



At this moment, she finally remembered where she had smelled this smell. She had seen a Chinese medicine doctor in the base prescribe this stuff before.

I also understood what this shell was used for: it was a preservative made by special techniques using several herbs and clay. Apart from a bad smell after dissolving, it had no toxic side effects. It could also be used as fertilizer after dissolving, but because of the strong odor, people were reluctant to approach it, and it also served as a thief deterrent.

The box was taken away, leaving behind a big hole. If she simply filled it with the soil she had dug out, it would definitely not be enough. She had no choice but to go to the river not far away and collect a few baskets of river pebbles and pour them into the hole. Then she filled it with the soil she had dug out, and then sprinkled a handful of wild grass seeds and used her supernatural power to make them grow. Soon, the land was covered with weeds, and no trace of weeds could be seen.

After receiving two boxes of treasures, Qiao Mo was in a better mood than ever. She looked at the sun that had just jumped out from the other side of the mountain, then looked at the village with curling smoke, then turned and walked towards the North Mountain.

She quickly passed through the outermost mountains, and after making sure that there was no one, she slipped into the space. She first went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of egg noodles, and then went to see the two boxes that had been brought in.

She removed all the oil paper and oilcloth wrapped around the boxes, revealing two boxes that were as smooth as new. It was obvious how well that layer of stuff protected the boxes. She took a closer look and found that the two boxes were made of huanghuali wood, the corners and locks were made of brass, and there was a picture of a wealthy peony carved on the lid. It was obvious that they were used by a wealthy family.

She didn't know what the owner was thinking, the boxes were not locked. She opened the box containing the gold bricks first, and found a brown paper envelope on the top.

Qiao Mo used his spiritual consciousness to create a small hand to pick up the envelope, and then pulled out the letter paper inside. The letter was written on rice paper, and the words were also written vertically in traditional Chinese characters.

"My family has suffered misfortune, with brothers fighting against each other. My illegitimate brothers have colluded with bandits to kill my family for the sake of our inheritance. For the lives of my family, I had no choice but to flee with them. To prevent my hard work from falling into the hands of the enemy, I have buried the gold bricks, jewelry, and ornaments that I cannot take with me here. I am old, and the possibility of returning them is slim. If any friend is lucky enough to obtain these things, please do not use them for evil. Otherwise, even in death, I would be ashamed to face my ancestors in the underworld."

After reading this incoherent letter, Qiao Mo sighed inwardly, folded the letter, put it in an envelope, and put it in the box. He was not in the mood to look at the things in the other box. He closed the lids and moved both boxes into the room and put them away.

After she came out of the space, she released her spiritual sense and saw a few villagers going into the mountains to hunt. She then went into the mountains from another road and did not start her performance until she was out of the villagers' hunting range: she used stones to knock out the wild pheasants and rabbits and put them into the space. She also picked the wild mushrooms one by one and put them into the space.

Unconsciously, she came to the junction of the inner mountain and the deep mountain. Looking up, she saw many miscellaneous trees as thick as her arms. She took out her axe and chopped them wildly. After two hours, she had chopped down a large area of them, and then collected them one by one into the space.

After chopping down the miscellaneous wood she'd need to absorb wood energy over the past few days, she continued walking forward, using her spiritual sense to search for what she needed. Before long, she came across a patch of morels. "Wow, I didn't expect there were morels here. I'm in for a treat."

These morels are good stuff. Not only do they taste good, but they are also rich in nutrients. They are also a rare item here. She squatted down and carefully used a small shovel to shovel the morels and the surrounding soil into the empty flower pots in the space, hoping that they could take root and grow branches and leaves there, so that she would have more than enough morels to eat in the future.
