Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Planting Fruit Seedlings (2)_1

Animals have better self-healing abilities than humans. The Doctor told Mo Yan to apply the ointment twice a day; as long as Little Flower didn’t wiggle and reopen its wound, it would be completely healed in ten to fifteen days.

After hearing this, Mo Yan finally felt relieved. She thanked the Doctor, paid the Silver, and then took Little Flower out of the clinic. When no one was around, they both entered the Space.

To maximize the effectiveness of the medicine, Mo Yan took a pair of scissors and under the accusatory gaze of Little Flower’s eyes, ’snip snip’ she cut its fur off completely, exposing the pink flesh beneath. Yet when she smeared the green medicinal ointment all over its body, someone couldn’t help but laugh mischievously!

Because... it really did look quite ugly!

Perhaps stimulated by Mo Yan’s disdainful gaze, Little Flower looked at her mournfully and buried its head in its only furry part, its big tail; it was truly too ashamed to see anyone.

The other pet couldn’t escape the scissors in Mo Yan’s hand either. This fellow wasn’t as vain as Little Flower; although it felt that being shorn was a blow to its dignity, if it meant the wound would heal faster, losing its fur was nothing.

After returning home, Mo Yan quickly had her dinner. Once Xin Er had fallen asleep, she stayed in the Space, busying herself with work and watching over the two creatures to change their dressings. Although just four hours had passed outside, half a month had gone by inside the Space, and both pets were recovering well. With the help of the Spirit Spring Water, their fur was also growing back quickly.

After breakfast the next day, just as Lizhong was about to head out to Liu Yang Village, he slapped his forehead and said to Mo Yan, "Yan girl, I forgot to tell you yesterday that the pits for the trees on the barren hill have been dug, and the mud has been poured in. When do you plan to plant the fruit seedlings?"

"They finished that quickly?" Mo Yan was delighted to hear this, "Then let’s plant them today. I’ll call for a cart to transport the fruit seedlings right away."

With that said, she ran out excitedly. Haha, her orchard was finally going to take shape!

After she called for an ox cart, everyone helped to load the fruit seedlings onto the cart. Nourished by Spirit Spring Water, the seedlings had shed their previous withered appearance and sprouted many tender leaves. Even though it wasn’t the ideal season for planting fruit trees, these seedlings would all survive.

Based on the leaves and the patterns on the trunk, Mo Yan had roughly identified several types of fruit trees. Apart from grape, mangosteen, and orange seedlings, there were also apples, pomelos, kiwis, and more than ten other types. Some of the seedlings were not suitable for the North, but who cared when she had the Spiritual Spring?

A few days ago, Mo Yan had selected two of each type of fruit seedling and planted them in the Space. They were growing very well, changing every day, but it would still take some time before they would bloom and bear fruit.

The Space could not be shown to others. Even if fruits were produced, she would be the only one sneaking a taste. How could that compare to the joy of a family sitting together, savoring all kinds of fruits?

However, even after planting these fruit seedlings, it would take two years before they bore fruit. Although Spirit Spring Water could speed up the process, making it too noticeable was not good. The Agricultural Politics Department had been planting for so many years without producing a single fruit.

When the fruit seedlings arrived at Liu Yang Village, Lizhong got off the cart and went to call the people who had helped clear the land to plant the trees.

Soon, more than fifty people came with shovels, hoes, and buckets. The pits had already been dug, and the mud was in place. Now they just needed to place the seedlings in and fill the pit with soil.

Although the process was not difficult, Lizhong still repeatedly reminded them that after planting the seedlings and filling the soil, they should slightly lift the seedlings to avoid suffocating the roots, which would affect the seedlings’ growth.

Mo Yan was very confident with Lizhong supervising everything. She watched for a while, then followed the path into the mountains and released the two creatures that were almost going crazy in the Space.

Once out of the Space, Little Flower ran around like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. When it finally grew tired of running, it started rubbing against Mo Yan’s leg and begging for attention, displaying an extremely ingratiating and obsequious demeanor that Mo Yan found hard to bear.

The other creature ran off as soon as it left the Space. Just when Mo Yan thought it had gone back, it returned carrying several wild rabbits in its mouth, dropping them at her feet.

"Do we really have to be this clear-cut?" Mo Yan met its clear gaze, feeling quite helpless.

In her heart, even though this creature wasn’t as close to her as Little Flower, there wasn’t a big difference. But every time it behaved as if it thought ’this lord doesn’t want to owe you anything,’ making it difficult to get close to.

But this time Mo Yan misunderstood. After she spoke those words, the creature suddenly stepped forward and pushed away Little Flower, who was clinging to her leg. It moved closer and clumsily rubbed its large wolf head against her hand while making a very soft ’woo woo’ sound.

Mo Yan’s heart melted for a moment, and after a brief surprise, she lifted her right hand that had been caressed and touched its wolf ears. This time, it did not shy away like before, but instead shook its ears and playfully rubbed her palm with the few coarse hairs on the tip of its ears.

"Hehe..." A chuckle escaped from Mo Yan. She touched its wolf head and crouched down slightly to look it in the eye. "Since you acknowledge me and I consider you a partner, I’ll give you a name now!"

Without caring whether it understood or accepted, she decided on a name based on its grey and white fur: Dabai!

After seeing off Dabai, Mo Yan brought Little Flower towards the barren hill but had not yet approached when she heard a heated argument...
