Chapter 247 He really knows how to bargain.
It's hard to imagine how he managed to clear away the tangled weeds and stubborn rocks, hoe by hoe, during those difficult days.
He built the small wooden cabin in the valley himself. Dongfang Jin looked at the cabin and saw that it was empty except for two hoes, a machete, and two baskets.
I wondered if this person never ate?
Why isn't there even a simple pot, pan, bowl, or stove?
The white tiger seemed to know what Dongfang Jin was thinking: "Then humans usually eat the fish in the water over there, the wild rabbits, pheasants, and wild eggs in the mountains, as well as the fruits over there. The wild rabbits and pheasants in the mountains reproduce the fastest."
Isn't he a monk?
Why are we eating meat now?
Could it be someone like "Ji Gong"?
Dongfang Jin made wild guesses as he looked at everything here, soaked with his sweat, every piece of land bearing witness to his hard work. What kind of belief supported him to keep moving forward?
The valley is filled with the faint scent of herbs, and even in this winter, the place is full of vibrant life.
Afterwards, Dongfang Jin asked Ruyi if they should store all the medicinal herbs here into their spatial storage.
Ruyi said to keep only one of each kind, and leave the rest here so she could come and check on them whenever she had time.
She was a little curious. This spirit of the realm was so willing to part with her resources, as it had always dreamed of letting her grow medicinal herbs in the Ruyi Realm.
Before she could ask, Ruyi said that the environment here was very suitable for the growth of those medicinal herbs.
Moreover, they have already established a presence here, and taking them all away would be detrimental, as it would damage the local ecosystem.
Dongfang Jin looked at everything in the valley again, and it was just as it said. If she put all the medicinal herbs into the Ruyi Realm, this place would definitely be barren.
It's rare to see it think like this.
Dongfang Jin took out a small basket from her spatial storage, walked to the fruit tree, and looked at the tempting passion fruit on the tree.
This is a fruit that takes a hundred years to grow from flowering to fruiting and then to maturity.
These fruits are all round and plump, with a charming luster. Let's not talk about how legendary their stories are; just looking at them makes one's mouth water.
It's hard to imagine how this fruit, which takes a hundred years to grow from flowering to fruiting to ripening, has managed to endure that long.
She had just picked a few when the little golden monkey that had beaten Long Jiu appeared, standing on a branch: "Pick the ripe ones at the top, don't pick the unripe ones."
Dongfang Jin looked at the fruit on the tree with curiosity and asked, "They all look the same, how can you tell if they're ripe or not?"
In her eyes, all the fruits were exactly the same, with none of the legendary redder skin of the Chaoyang variety.
And aren't they all fruits from the same tree?
The little golden monkey jumped onto her shoulder and pointed to one on her head: "This one tastes sweet, and this one is ripe."
After saying that, he pointed to one leaf inside the leaf and another leaf on the other side: "These are unripe and have a sour taste."
Dongfang Jin nodded: "I see, thank you for letting me know."
"It's nothing. If you still have any spiritual water, I'll pick some for you, only the ripe ones."
Dongfang Jin smiled as she looked at it; it really knew how to bargain. She took out a bottle of water and handed it to it, saying, "Then I'll trouble you."
It's a pity she didn't have any peaches; if she did, she wouldn't have had to exchange them for the Five Elements Spring Water.
As Ruyi planted medicinal herbs in her space, she listened to Dongfang Jin complain: "Why did you give it peaches?"
Dongfang Jin: [Don't monkeys all like to eat peaches?]
That's how it's portrayed in Journey to the West; Sun Wukong ate quite a few peaches from the Heavenly Peach Garden.
As one wishes……
She really has a vivid imagination. It's true that monkeys like to make wine from fruit.
And they seem to eat any kind of fruit.
Dongfang Jin didn't hear what Ruyi said, but she could plant some here. Hmm, she could keep an eye out for fruit tree sellers in the future.
She could also plant some fruit trees at home, such as peaches, pears, and apples, around the house.
The little golden monkey was overjoyed when it saw the water she took out. It jumped up the tree to pick fruit for her, jumping up and down, having a wonderful time.
It seems it really likes the Five Elements Spring water.
Seeing how happily it was picking herbs, Dongfang Jin stopped picking and put down a few baskets before strolling towards the herb garden.
There are many people in the family, one for each person. Hmm, Long Er and the others can also take some back to the capital.
Walking into the medicinal herb field, she looked at these unfamiliar plants. They knew her, but she didn't know them.
If she saw any unusual plants, she would reach out and pull them off and throw them aside.
As she strolled around, she discovered a strange phenomenon.
She discovered that there were many grass nests in these medicinal herb fields, hundreds of them of various sizes, and each nest contained eggs, ranging from two or three to as many as seven or eight.
Just as she was considering whether to take it, the white tiger came over carrying a deer, which looked to have an injured leg.
"Did you go hunting?"
The white tiger placed the deer at her feet: "A small gift for your arrival, Master."
Dongfang Jin...
Should we return the gift we gave her upon meeting her?
"Isn't it not hunting season yet?"
“I didn’t hunt in this area. Over there, that’s where deer often roam.”
Dongfang Jin watched as it pointed with its head towards the back of the mountain in the corner of its eye, where there was a narrow path: "Is it very big there?"
"It's quite large. Further inside, there are some dark and dangerous animals. You shouldn't go there."
Dongfang Jin became even more curious after hearing what it said. The dark animals it mentioned must be the reptiles.
Ruyi: [Yes, the trees over there are so dense they practically block out the sky; I can't see the end. Stop being so curious.]
Don't worry, I'm not going. I'm just curious; I thought this was already deep inside Lingwu Mountain.
This mountain range is quite large, and it's hard to say exactly where it lies deep within. However, you could ask this white tiger; it might not be an animal from this area.
Dongfang Jin asked Baihu, "Isn't this the depths of Lingwu Mountain?"
"No, the deepest parts are inhabited by large animals like us."
Seeing her curious expression, I asked, "Would you like to sit on the Ruyi Blanket and take a look?"
No, it wouldn't be good if someone found out.
Ruyi's attempt to please him failed again, so she silently ate the egg tarts one after another.
When Dongfang Jin saw the deer, she also remembered that there were a few more in her spatial storage, which she had acquired from the Zheng family but had never taken out.
Perfect, now I can find a reason to bring it out.
Thinking of Dongfang Jin, she couldn't help but recall Gu Chenglin, whom she had forgotten about, as she looked at the medicinal herbs.
I was thinking about whether I should send some over to them.
"Sure, go dig up some ginseng behind the cabin."
Can you accept it?
Ruyi immediately perked up, exclaiming, "Yes, yes, yes!"
Then you should collect some older ones, and leave the younger ones to grow here.
Get some more mutton from the freezer. We'll go to the border after dark and see if we can bring Gu Chenglin back.
Okay, I'll go right away.
Dongfang Jin put the deer into her spatial storage and looked at the white tiger: "Are you and the bear still staying here, or are you going to the spatial storage?"
The white tiger looked around and then said, "Let's stay outside."
Dongfang Jin thought for a moment. No matter how big the space was, it was not as big as this valley. They were used to being free here and definitely would not want to stay inside.
“I will come to see you often when I have the chance, and you can also come to the valley over there to find me.”
Soon people will be living there, so be careful when you appear, and don't accidentally hurt them.
White Tiger nodded: "Okay, if there are people around, we won't go. If anything happens, we'll have that little monkey come to you."
The little golden monkey had already filled several baskets with fruit and left with water.
The white tiger said that the monkeys all lived on the mountain to the east, and would occasionally come over to pick some fruit to take back with them.
Dongfang Jin nodded, surprised that they each had their own territory.
