Chapter 103: Collecting Seeds

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

For the next two days, the primary tasks for Jiang Chuan’s family’s was to build a wooden house and collect a large number of leaves to cover the roof.

Country Z had a traditional technique for building wooden houses without nails or cement, known as tenon-mortise technology. This method uses the interlocking parts of the wood blocks to create various structures or furniture, whether using logs or square timber.

While Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu were joining pieces of wood together, they could hear their mother striking with a hammer. The noise was so loud that it made Jiang Xia’s heart flutter. Her mother’s strength was incredible. Jiang Xia thought anyone who dared upset her mother would probably be flapped away with a single slap.

“Sister, what are you thinking about?” Jiang Gu’s voice brought Jiang Xia back to reality, realizing she had unconsciously stopped working.

“Nothing much, I was just admiring our mother’s strength!” Jiang Xia exclaimed.

Jiang Gu looked at their mother, then strongly nodded, “She really is strong.”

While chatting, Jiang Gu and Jiang Xia joined their efforts to press two pieces of wood together tightly. Exhausted, they stood in place, gasping for air. It became clear that this task wasn’t meant for children.

Initially, Jiang Xia suggested taking Jiang Gu for a walk nearby to collect seeds while their parents were building the house. But their mother was worried about the dangers they might encounter alone and did not agree with Jiang Xia’s idea.

On the fourth day of their family’s mountain journey, they finally built a simple wooden house. Even though the house was bare, they all felt a deep sense of pride.

Afterward, they began to distribute the work. Zhou Lan, with either Jiang Xia or Jiang Gu, went to collect various seeds from the mountain, while Jiang Chuan stayed behind with one daughter to make some furniture.

Collecting seeds was not difficult, thanks to Zhou Lan’s previous memories. However, they only had one bag for the seeds. It started to get confusing as the variety of seeds increased, even for Zhou Lan who initially remembered what she had picked.

In the evening, Jiang Xia was cooking soup with Jiang Chuan when they saw Zhou Lan and Jiang Gu approaching from a distance. The setting sun’s glow highlighted the youthful cuteness of the girls’ faces.

Jiang Xia quickly invited them to join for dinner, dumping everything into her interspace.

“Mom, Xiao Gu, come taste my cooking. I made dinner today, let’s see how it taste.”

Jiang Xia had only heard from her aunt that her dad was a ‘kitchen disaster.’ After witnessing her dad and Xiao Gu cook together, she understood. She didn’t understand how her dad could turn rice into soup, leaving Xiao Gu staring at him with big watery eyes.

Jiang Xia served two bowls of soup to Zhou Lan and Jiang Gu. Zhou Lan was doubtful of her daughter’s culinary skills, while Xiao Gu was just hungry and started drinking the soup immediately.

“Wow! Sister, your soup is really good!” Jiang Gu was surprised. She had assumed her sister’s soup would be as lethal as their dad’s, but it was surprisingly tasty.

Hearing Jiang Gu’s comment, Zhou Lan also took a curious sip from her bowl. After tasting, she gave a thumbs up.

“Not bad, you didn’t inherit your father’s ‘kitchen disaster’ trait.”

Jiang Chuan made a face. “Dear, if you want to praise our daughter, just do it. Don’t involve me.”

He then leaned closer to his wife and whispered, “Leave me some dignity in front of our daughter.”

Zhou Lan chuckled and stopped teasing Jiang Chuan.

After having dinner with her family, Jiang Xia went straight into her interspace. Through several experiments, she discovered that the land and water sources within this interspace could significantly shorten the growth and maturity period of plants.

To distinguish what each seed would grow into, Jiang Xia had to sort the seeds, planting those that looked alike in the same area.

As she watered the seeds in this interspace, she noticed different reactions among them. Some seeds sprouted and grew as soon as they were watered, while others remained still as if they were dead.

She tried watering the seeds that didn’t sprout a second time, but the result remained the same.

Just as Jiang Xia was deep in thought, trying to figure out the reason, a wave of noise seemed to come from outside her interspace.

With a thought, Jiang Xia exited her interspace, returning to the wooden house where her family resided.

“Mom, what’s going on?” Jiang Xia asked, her brow furrowed.

The moment she returned, she could sense the tense atmosphere inside the house.

Jiang Gu, holding onto Zhou Lan’s hand, swallowed nervously before speaking up, “Sister, I think I just heard a wolf’s howl..”
