Du Xiao Li and Luo Qi stayed around the underbrush for a while before heading to the grape vines.
Luo Qi thought about the appearance in the underbrush as he walked. No matter how he looked, it all looked like he’d gotten eaten by a wild animal. A child this young, how could she have such meticulous thoughts? Furthermore, she even had superior medical skills. This child really is too weird!
“We’re here.” Du Xiao Li looked to the empty grape vines, feeling somewhat disappointed inside.
Luo Qi studied the grape vines and said, “So this is the grape vines you mentioned?”
“Yep.” Du Xiao Li put down her basket, afterwards went below the grape vines to rummage around. As expected, she found several saplings. She used the trowel for digging medical herbs to dig up a portion along with the root and dirt, afterwards placing it to the side.
“What are you digging this up for?” Luo Qi also crouched down and asked.
“Taking it back to plant. If it can survive, in the future, can breed in ma.s.s.” Du Xiao Li said.
Luo Qi saw that she’d buried the dirt back after digging up some, and asked, “Why aren’t you digging it all back?”
“If all the ones I take back die, then there’ll still be some left here!” Du Xiao Li said. Afterwards, she pulled some gra.s.s and put it on the bottom of her basket. After covering a thick layer, she finally put the saplings in. Then, she went again to look around the grape vine, founding a few branching sprouts and cutting off the smallest among them.
Luo Qi watched Du Xiao Li work for a while, then turned his attention to the tangerine trees below, asking: “What tree is this? This short yet still bears this many fruits.”
“That’s a tangerine tree. If you really want to follow me, then when time comes, there’ll be no less of things you need to help with.” Du Xiao Li said.
Not only Luo Qi, Leng Yi and Leng Er were all a part of her plan.
(T/N: I’m so amused at her planning all her free laborers)
“Can this fruit be eaten?” Luo Qi picked a tangerine and asked.
Du Xiao Li looked to the one in his hand, skin thick, pores big, the surface not the least bit glossy, and furthermore, was even green. “The one in your hand is edible, but will be very sour, and not good at all.”
“How do you eat it? Directly bite it?” Luo Qi said, just as he put the tangerine that he’d wiped twice towards his mouth.
“Hey, that’s not eaten like that.” Du Xiao Li quickly stopped him, walking over to take the tangerine from him, and peeling the skin off. Afterwards, she had the fruit pieces split into two halves before handing it to him, saying: “This is eaten by peeling the skin.”
Luo Qi broke off a small piece, lightly taking a bite, and then immediately spat it back out. “So sour.”
“Right now still isn’t the time for tangerines to mature. Furthermore, the one you found isn’t good.” Du Xiao Li finished saying, and found one carrying a slight yellow color with thin skin and gloss, practically unable to see the pores on the surface. It was slightly softened too. She used her strength to pluck it, and after peeling off the skin, shared half of it with Luo Qi, saying: “Try this one.”
Luo Qi semi-skeptically accepted the tangerine from Du Xiao Li’s hand. Lightly taking a bite, he discovered that although it was still a bit sour, compared to the one before it was much sweeter.
Du Xiao Li also gave herself a piece, lightly taking a bite. The juice sprayed into her mouth. The sour flavor spread from the tip of her tongue, making her entire body smooth out and uncontrollably shut her eyes.
