14 Hunting Training II (1/2)
Woken up by the cries of the Rainbow-tailed Chicken, Yan Xiu opened his heavy eyes. Languidly Yan Xiu sat on his bed and covered his face with his hands, the scene from yesterday was still fresh in his mind.
It was vastly different experience than when he butchered his livestock. He killed both beasts by his own hand in each event, but it felt very different. Why?
Yan Xiu pondered but didn't reach an answer. Putting the question to the back of his head, he took a quick shower and changed to clean clothes. Refreshed in both body and mind, Yan Xiu went to garden. He rarely neglected his daily check, so he worried a little.
Yan Xiu was astounded when he check the fields. The last two crops have ripened and it's size was double than the usual! That's not all, the Fire Tomato had bear fruit and from the looks of it, the tomatoes would be ripe by tomorrow and it had double the amount and size!
Yan Xiu couldn't wrap his head around what happened. Usually it would take a week or two before the Fire Tomato was ready for another harvest, but it's only been four days and yet it already bear fruits and about ready to ripe, with twice the amount and size no less.
Yan Xiu checked the tomato and didn't find anything amiss. In fact, the tomato was in healthy and peak condition. Was this because of the green water? If it was, then it would increase the value of the spell even more.
Yan Xiu suddenly thought of something and ran toward the coop. When he checked inside, he was a little disappointed but somehow already expected the outcome. There were no eggs inside the coop.
Yan Xiu thought that the chickens would be the same as the crops and have their laying eggs frequency quicken. But looking at the coop, looks like it only the crops.
Yan Xiu quickly lose his disappointment, even if the wondrous effect only affected the crops, it was already more than enough. The number one money maker was not his pigs anymore, it was his crops.
Yan Xiu then went on his normal routine. He cleaned the coop and pig pen, then he gave each a bucketful of green water and refill their water and feed. Different from the first time, the second time the pigs and chickens drank the green water, the effect wasn't as exaggerated as the first time.
Yan Xiu watered the crops with two bucketloads of green water. While watering, Yan Xiu remembered something and ran towars his room. He took something out of the yesterday robe's pocket, it was the seed of Glass Lime. He carefully checked it and thankfully it wasn't damaged after everything yesterday.
Yan Xiu put the seed in his pocket, he went to the back of the pen and coop to grabbed some compost and went back to the field. He spread some compost around the Fire Tomatoes evenly, Yan Xiu then dug a hole apart from the field and gently buried the Glass Lime in the hole.
Yan Xiu watered the Glass Lime with bucketful of green water and spread some compost around it. Yan Xiu was excited, just thinking of how great the harvest of the Glass Lime later was making him giddy. Yan Xiu harvested the Snow Radishes and Spike Carrot, he then stored them after cleaning for cooking later.
Done with the field work, Yan Xiu cleaned himself and cultivate before having his breakfast. Cleaning and checking his weapons and belt, Yan Xiu then went to granny Shen home.
@@@@@
Just like yesterday, Yan Xiu found granny Shen in front of her house, sweeping.
”Granny Shen!” (MC)
”Oh, little brat.” (GS)
”Sorry, I couldn't come yesterday. I was-” (MC)
”Ah, it's okay. I saw you went out the village with the hunters. Are you okay? You're not hurt, right?” (GS)
”It's alright, I'm okay!” (MC)
”Good. But be careful, being a hunter is dangerous. All the more so for a child like you.” (GS)
”I understand, granny. Well, I'm going to fill the bucket.” (MC)
”Please and thank you, little Xiu.” (GS)
Not long after Yan Xiu went to granny Shen's garden, Chen Hanchen came. Granny Shen already said her piece before he opened his mouth to greet her.
”Good mor-” (CH)
”Nice timing, come here! I have something to ask you.” (GS)
”... As usual, I guess. It's good to see you are healthy granny.” (CH)
Chen Hanchen walked to granny Shen.
”What is it, granny?” (CH)
”That Green Water healing spell you had, does it really have such an effect to plants?” (GS)
”Effect? What are you talking about?” (CH)
