Chapter 156: Chapter 156 Whose Blood (1)_1

Days went by; the main structure of the Mo Family’s house was almost complete, with only the final touches like building courtyard walls and laying floor tiles remaining. All the fruit seedlings in the orchard had taken root and sprouted new leaves.

Two other barren mountains had also been tidied up, one of which had one side planted with common fruit trees such as pear, peach, and persimmon trees, while the other side was left empty, planning to find and plant other types of fruit trees. The remaining mountain was reserved for planting medicinal herbs in the future.

With Mo Qingze overseeing the construction site, Lizhong managing the orchard, and Lixiu watching over the house, Mo Yan was completely free. She either took Little Flower to visit Dabai in the mountains or entered the deep forests under the protection of two wolves to collect various medicinal herbs.

Yuhua Mountain stretched for hundreds of miles, with complex terrain and variable climate, nurturing many precious plants and treasures of nature.

Ordinarily, quite a few doctors would venture into the mountains hoping to find aged medicinal herbs by chance, but they only dared to search around the periphery, fearing the fierce beasts within and the risk of getting lost and not being able to find their way back.

With Dabai and Little Flower as escorts, Mo Yan didn’t have that worry, but she dared not venture too deep, to avoid stumbling into other wild beasts’ territories and causing trouble for Dabai.

Luckily, Dabai had claimed a large territory for itself, laden with many valuable medicinal herbs. Moreover, it was exceptionally sensitive to herbs, often leading Mo Yan to very old medicinal plants.

"Ao-woo—"

As Mo Yan was digging up the found Sanqi, Dabai howled again from another direction. Hearing the sound, she knew Dabai had discovered something good, so she quickly excavated the last few Sanqi plants and ran over with her hoe in hand.

"Is this... Dendrobium?"

Mo Yan looked with delight at the pale green flowers blooming over a patch of greenery, the round and elongated leaves, and the main stem growing segment by segment, confirming without a doubt that it was Dendrobium.

Dendrobium, a perennial epiphytic herb from the Orchid family, is not only ornamental but also used in herbal medicine. It nourishes the stomach, promotes the production of body fluid, nourishes yin, and clears heat; it is a very precious warming and supplementing medicinal herb.

Wild Dendrobium reproduces naturally at a low rate and grows very slowly. This patch must have grown for over a hundred years to reach this size.

Wandering around the mountains for several days, this was the first time Mo Yan had encountered Dendrobium, and she quickly knelt down to start digging.

Little Flower, intending to help by scratching with its paws, was impatiently shooed away by Mo Yan. Since Dendrobium was not easy to grow, she didn’t plan to take them all. She would be too sorry if the others were destroyed by this creature.

Having its kind intentions rejected, Little Flower lay down on the ground feeling very dejected. With Dabai keeping a vigilant watch in case of other wild beasts, it saw Little Flower’s lifeless appearance and slapped it over the head: pathetic!

Little Flower was stunned by the slap, looking at Dabai with a dazed expression, seemingly at a loss for why Dabai would hit it for no reason.

If it were before, it would have already charged and started fighting with Dabai, but ever since Dabai had risked its own life, ignoring its wounds to save Little Flower from the jaws of a tiger, it had lost all desire for revenge.

Dabai looked at it with disdain and walked away with graceful steps. It was too lazy to pay any more attention to this fool.

Little Flower’s fragile heart was deeply hurt. Lifting its massive wolf head, it gazed at the sky at a 45-degree angle with a look of bright sadness, emitting heartbreaking ’wu wu’ sounds.

Even though Mo Yan knew it was an act, it still sounded pitiful to her ears. She took out several hard-boiled tea eggs from the Space, which she had cooked earlier, to give to Little Flower.

Although they were just tea eggs, the eggs produced from the Space, along with Mo Yan’s exclusively formulated seasonings and the Spirit Spring Water, nothing was ordinary. Put together, they made a superb delicacy. At least, Little Flower could gobble down twenty or thirty in one go.
