Chapter 156: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 156: Whose Blood (1)
As the days went by, the main structure of the Mo family's house was almost completed, with only finishing touches like building the courtyard walls and laying floor tiles left. All the seedlings in the orchard had survived and grown new leaves.
The other two barren hills were also cleaned up. One of them had been planted with common fruit trees such as pear, peach, and persimmon trees, while the other half was left empty to find other fruit trees to plant, and the remaining hill would be left for growing medicinal herbs in the future.
With Mo Qingze managing the construction site, Li Zhong taking care of the orchard, and Li Xiu looking after the house, Mo Yan had completely freed up her hands. She either took Xiao Hua to visit Da Bai in the mountains or, under the protection of the two wolves, went deep into the mountains to collect various medicinal herbs.
Mount Yuhua stretched for hundreds of miles, with complex terrain and ever-changing climate, which gave birth to many natural treasures.
Normally, many doctors would venture into the mountains hoping to dig up high-quality medicinal herbs, but they only dared to search around the periphery and dared not go deep into the mountains. Firstly, there were many ferocious beasts in the mountains, and secondly, they were afraid of getting lost and unable to find their way back.
With Da Bai and Xiao Hua accompanying her, Mo Yan had no such worries. However, she dared not venture too deep to avoid intruding into the territory of other wild animals and causing trouble for Da Bai.
Fortunately, Da Bai occupied a large territory with many precious medicinal herbs growing within it. Moreover, it was exceptionally sensitive to medicinal herbs and often led Mo Yan to find herbs with high age.
"Awuuu—"
As Mo Yan was digging up some Tianqi that she had just found, she heard Da Bai's call from the other side. Recognizing the sound, she knew that Da Bai had found something good and quickly dug up the last few Tianqi before picking up her hoe and running over.
"What's this... Iron Skin Dendrobium?"
Mo Yan looked with delight at the pale green flowers blooming on the green plants in front of her, with long, rounded leaves. Taking a closer look at the main stem growing section by section, she confirmed that it was indeed Iron Skin Dendrobium.
Iron Skin Dendrobium, a perennial epiphytic herb of the Orchidaceae family, was not only ornamental but also medicinal. It could nourish the stomach, generate body fluids, and clear heat, making it an extremely precious tonic herb.
Wild Dendrobium had low natural reproductive ability and grew very slowly. This patch must have been growing for over a hundred years.
After wandering around in the mountains for several days, Mo Yan encountered Iron Skin Dendrobium for the first time. She quickly squatted down to dig it up.
Xiao Hua wanted to help dig with its claws, but Mo Yan impatiently chased it away. Dendrobium was not easy to grow, and she didn't want it to accidentally damage the others. It would be a pity if they died because of this fellow.
Rejected by Mo Yan, Xiao Hua felt very depressed and lay on the ground. Da Bai, on the other hand, was vigilant nearby, wary of other wild beasts. Seeing its miserable appearance, it gave it a slap with its paw: Shameless!
Xiao Hua was stunned by the slap, looking dumbfoundedly at Da Bai. It seemed to not understand why, with everything being fine, Da Bai would hit it again.
If it were before, it would have rushed up to fight with Da Bai. But ever since Da Bai risked its life and saved it from the tiger's mouth, it no longer had the thought of revenge.
Giving it a disdainful glance,Da Bai elegantly walked away to another place. It couldn't be bothered to deal with this idiot anymore.
Feeling deeply hurt in its fragile heart,Xiao Hua lifted its huge wolf head, gazing up at the sky with a bright but sad 45° angle, emitting a mournful 'wu wu' sound.
Although Mo Yan knew it was pretending, she still felt sorry for it. She took out several tea eggs that she had previously cooked from her space and gave them to it.
Although they were just tea eggs, the eggs produced from the space, Mo Yan's secret ingredients, and Spirit Spring water water made them extraordinary. Put together, they made an excellent delicacy. At least, Xiao Hua could eat thirty or forty of them in one go.
