Fertile land

In Leechugou, the last time I took Miaomiao to pick up fungi, she almost fell off the cliff, which left her with lingering fears.
After much thought, I decided not to take Miaomiao with me!But since she was so young at home, she really didn't feel at ease.

After thinking about it, she made some vegetable cakes for Miaomiao, put some vegetables and noodles in a basket, and took them to Aunt Zhao's house.

Please take care of Miaomiao. She went to the mountain to pick up mushrooms today and will be back early.

Logically speaking, it's okay to babysit your uncle for a while, but for Li Zhengsen's family, you don't even have to think about it.

Aunt Zhao likes Miaomiao very much. She usually lives alone, so she is quite happy to have a little girl to accompany her.

When he saw her bringing these things over, he dismissed her and said, "I just brought them here, what else are you doing with these? I don't have anything else, I still have a few bites to eat."

"Aunt Zhao, look at what you said. I'm asking you to help me look after my daughter, and I want you to go out to eat. It's not right to eat and trouble you. This is a loss-making business!"

Luo Zhi'er said half-jokingly.

"What's the point? I'm also half buried in the ground. Whatever I grow in the fields can be enough for me to eat for a while. How much can this girl Miaomiao eat!"

"I just don't know what to do. Miaomiao is here. I can be busy for a while and I still feel that I have a lot of progress for the day."

Luo Zhi'er told Miao Miao to listen to Aunt Zhao and not to run around blindly. If nothing happened, just copy the copybooks in the yard and learn to write, abacus, and draw.
Miaomiao nodded obediently.

She then went back with confidence, equipped herself, locked the door, and climbed up the mountain behind.

The scenery was still the same as before. Luo Zhi'er leaned over and looked around in the woods. If there were any fungi, he would pick them up and put them into his backpack!

On the way, I heard the wind blowing and rustling in the woods. I felt a little lonely, but Miao Miao was by my side to keep me safe.

Unknowingly, I passed by the place where the blind bear hid last time. There were no traces on the ground, but there was a stinking smell.
Seeing the chopped weeds and branches beside her, she missed Li Sanmao a little.

We went down the mountain again, turned around, shuttled, watched, rested, and picked up fungi. We walked for almost two hours and finally arrived at the place where we almost fell off the cliff last time.

Luo Zhi'er not only wrapped herself up tightly, sprinkled it with insect repellent water, but also brought salt
Seeing a swarm of big leeches blocking the road, he sprinkled a handful of them.

Luo Zhi'er's heart moved when she saw the traces she had climbed and the small steps she had picked out with a sickle.
I couldn't help but lift my feet and planned to slide down and dig.

Pulling on the slightly thicker branch, he walked down, step by step, reaching the place near the wooden bump that Miao Miao rode on last time.

After a rough observation, I picked up the sickle and pecked it with the tip, and found a lump of earth sticking out.
wow!

What else did she dig up?
Looks like an ancient wine glass.

Luo Zhi'er wiped the ash on it with her sleeve. It was bright in color and smooth in texture, like jade!

Could this be the legendary Western Region Luminous Cup?

It's a bit scary, it's so scary!

What's going on with this mountain?
She doesn't dare to dig anymore. Once these things are taken out and exposed to the world, they will definitely be suspected.
It's not safe to leave it at home, so it's better to just bury it in the soil for now.

Luo Zhi'er put the luminous cup in her arms and thought, who buried such a huge pile of treasures here?
Although she felt a little greedy for money and often dreamed of sitting on a mountain of gold to catch these treasures, she always felt that this mountain was not suitable for her, and the money was only interesting if she earned it herself.

Is there a life to be taken or a life to be spent?
Each of these treasures may attract attention, and she fully understands the truth that ordinary people are innocent and harbor treasures.

Luo Zhi'er buried the mound and quickly climbed up.

Fortunately, this mountain is full of leeches and no one dares to covet it!
It seems that this leech cannot be removed yet!

But how will she plant crops?
I also want to plant a fruit grove!

Ugh!
While thinking about it, he went down the slope, crossed the ridge connecting the mountain and the lower ground, and reached the wasteland.
The wasteland is very dense with swamps, silt, and all kinds of weeds.Except for leeches, there are no other living creatures such as small fish and shrimps in this place.

These vegetation were the green she saw on the top of the mountain. Some leaves were eaten by leeches, but it did not affect its prosperity.

As I got closer, I found that some of them were taller than people, and I couldn't see outside even if I stood inside.

There was a mud puddle with each foot, and she felt like she was going to sink in. It felt like something was pulling under her feet. She was so fat, so she would sink faster!

Fortunately, she was born with good strength, so she stood up easily and walked deeper.

Cut through the dense forest, step on the water plants, and wade through the mud.

Exploring further inside, she felt that the water in this swamp would be quite clear if she didn't step on it, and it smelled like there was a bit of sweetness in the air.

After shaking herself, there were piles of things in the water that smelled like blood, and they all crawled towards her direction!

Most people would be so frightened that they would run away, but she was prepared. When the leech smelled her scent, he suddenly seemed to be taboo about something and did not dare to come near.

In fact, she didn't realize that the leech hadn't even sucked her blood. If it had been for someone like her, it would have turned into a pile of bones!

Luo Zhi'er sprinkled a few handfuls of salt around and continued to look around.
I sighed secretly, no wonder there are so many leeches and they reproduce so fast. This water should contain minerals.

The leeches in the wasteland below are water leeches that like humid environments. The leeches on the mountain just now are dry leeches!
I seem to be attracted by the water quality here!

The water in this swamp should not all be rainwater from the sky. After all, rainwater will not emit such a sweet and delicious fragrance.

There must be a water source here, because the swamp also runs along the mountain. When a flash flood occurs, it will wash away the edge and form a small ditch. If the water is too big, it can flow out, but no one dares to let the water flow out from the Leech ditch. drink!

They are all retreating to three homes.

Luo Zhi'er didn't give up and searched everywhere. There were more than ten acres of wasteland, and it was too difficult to walk through it.

However, if she didn't find it this time, she would have to come back next time and determined to find out the reason.

After walking around and taking a look, the salt on her body was almost gone. She felt that she couldn't search blindly like this!

I walked to the edge of the swamp, grabbed a branch and climbed up, finding a slightly higher position to observe.

correct!

The vegetation in this swamp seems to be cut off in one place, half of it is dense and the other half is more desolate than here.

That's it!
He picked up the stick on the ground, banged it, and walked over quickly!
Sure enough, this is a slightly sloping ground, and the water flows downward!

Therefore, the vegetation below should be denser, and the weeds above where there is no water are slightly lighter.

Then the water outlet is nearby!
Luo Zhi'er walked here, lay down and observed carefully, and finally found a place where many leeches were densely packed.

There is a pool of water below.

This leech is very fat!
I picked up the leech with a stick, picked it up again, and sprinkled a few handfuls of salt on it. The leech was twisting its body like crazy.

crawl away quickly
Ah!It took no effort at all, I found it!
A stream of clear water emerged from the ground and flowed downwards like a trickle.
The sweet taste was even more intense, making her want to take a sip.

However, she knew that there were countless leech eggs in it, so she couldn't drink them randomly!
