58. Barren Mountains in Distress

While there was still time, Grandma and her son cut down all the nearby sugar cane and planted it in the ground section by section.

The old man in the family is no longer here, and a lot of the land has been abandoned. Helping to turn over the soil, add some plant ash, and improve nutrition is what Bai Haitang can do at the moment.

The morning sun has risen, illuminating Shuilian Mountain in a bright red.

Mountain flowers are blooming one after another, and there are many wild chrysanthemums, roses, and white begonias nearby. She teaches grandma to identify them one by one. She picks these petals, dries them in the sun, and then saves them for use in winter when the flowers fall.

Soak it in warm water and add some honey. It tastes great.

Telling grandma this, Bai Haitang hopes grandma can sell it at the market in winter to earn more money.

"Girl, you are so kind-hearted." Grandma was very grateful, but there was nothing to entertain Miss Haitang at home.

Bai Haitang regards everyone he meets in this world as fate.

Of course, fate also has things you want and things you don’t want, but you can’t control your destiny and you can’t see the future clearly.

The dew in the forest has still been dried up.

"Grandma, I'm going into the mountains." Bai Haitang said.

Grandma couldn't hold her back.

Before leaving, I secretly left five coins with my grandma, hoping to find a good doctor for her son and take a good look at him.

Bai Haitang filled the bamboo tube with water and walked along the only path to the depths of Shuilian Mountain.

Along the way, Bai Haitang identified various plants in the forest to see if there were any suitable for dyeing. The most important thing was to see rosella.

Three days later, there was still no trace of rosella. Bai Haitang sat down and ate a piece of flatbread prepared with wintersweet. It was salty and gave her strength. This wintersweet was getting better and better at making flatbreads.

I ate another salted duck egg, drank two mouthfuls of water, and continued wandering around the mountains.

Whenever she encounters a trail, Bai Haitang will go and take a look. As she walks deeper and deeper, the sunlight refracts from the dense branches and leaves and becomes gentle, like broken gold.

The only sounds in the forest were the chirping of birds and insects and the sound of wind. The path became farther and farther away, to the point where not many people came anymore.

At this time, Bai Haitang smelled an unpleasant smell, coming from the right front, and a strong wind blowing through the woods blew in her face...

Something is running over!

Bai Haitang felt it subconsciously and immediately took out a small explosive in the package.

I just held it in my hand and saw a brown-furred beast coming from the woods. The smell was coming from its mouth. It had four short legs, a body of more than one meter long, two ears, and two ears drooped on its forehead.

protrude.

It's a wild boar.

The wild boar ran towards Bai Haitang, seeming to be biting, and its fur stood up in the wind.

I'm really not as cute as my second senior brother.

Bai Haitang slammed the clay explosive bottle in her hand in the direction where the wild boar was running. She knew that the wild boar had not been domesticated and would eat even elk, let alone humans.

"Bang bang..." A sound like a gun echoed in the forest.

The explosive was just as Bai Haitang expected. It was powerful enough to drive away wild animals. If he threw it closer, the wild boar would be seriously injured and fall down without killing it, and it would have no power to hurt anyone.

The wild boar was scared away.

Bai Haitang took a long breath. The wild boar must have come after the smell.

She took the cucumber scent and mimosa around her, crushed them with her palms, and applied them to her shoes, skirts and fever.
