Chapter 298: A Casual Walk
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The Zhang family was in a discussion, including Su Zhen and an awkward Zhang Hu. Jiang Chuan figured that their internal family meeting might last for a long time, so he suggested, “How about our family goes out to see if we can find the Lingzhi mushroom?”
Zhou Lan was initially eager to join but then suddenly remembered something. She said, “Never mind, you two go ahead. We haven’t given any gifts since we came to the Zhang family. I want to organize the things we bought from the shopping mall and give them to my mother-in-law later.”
Turning around, she warned Jiang Gu, “Xiao Gu, it’s easy to get lost in the mountains. Make sure you follow your dad and second sister closely.”
Jiang Gu, with wide innocent eyes and a serious expression on his young face, looked even more adorable, “No, I want to stay and help mom organize! I’m great at it and will definitely be of help!”
Such a considerate little girl! Zhou Lan couldn’t help but hug Jiang Gu tightly. She felt incredibly fortunate in this life – a loving husband, a smart daughter like Jiang Xia, and now, after the time-travel, a beautiful and generous elder daughter and an understanding younger one. Her life was complete.
Jiang Chuan and Jiang Xia had a clear goal and headed straight for the mountaintop after leaving the Zhang’s residence.
The Zhang’s residence was not far from the mountaintop. After about half an hour, they reached their destination.
Unable to contain herself, Jiang Xia shouted into the vast sky. It felt as if all the stress was vented out with that shout, making her feel rejuvenated.

Even though the view from the mountain top was mesmerizing, it didn’t have what Jiang Xia was looking for.
Both of them had come up the mountain in search of caves and wild vegetable seeds. However, there was no trace of any caves, nor any lush vegetables. The growth of the plants here was not even as good as in the Zhang family’s yard.
Jiang Chuan was not as disappointed as Jiang Xia. He led her towards a barren grassland.
He had been to this place in the morning while hunting with the three Zhang brothers and Su Zhen. He was quite intrigued by this patch of land at the time.
Having grown up in the countryside, he was quite familiar with vegetable fields. Even though this plot looked dry and all plants seemed dead, Jiang Chuan believed that there must be plenty of vegetable seeds in the soil, they just hadn’t sprouted.
The vegetables hadn’t grown for two reasons. Firstly, due to drought causing the plants to wilt. Secondly, it was nearing winter, and the cold weather was not conducive to plant growth. However, these problems would be easily solved with Jiang Xia’s interspace water.
Under Jiang Chuan’s encouragement, Jiang Xia took out a bottle of the water from her interspace. Just as she was about to pour it on the barren land, she remembered the time in Pushan village when the use of this water attracted a large group of animals, including venomous snakes and weasels.
Jiang Xia hesitated to pour the water and shared her concerns with Jiang Chuan.
Jiang Chuan had an idea, “What vegetables do you have in your interspace?”
Jiang Xia, slightly puzzled, replied honestly, “1 can only grow four types of vegetables in my interspace: white radish, carrots, mushrooms, and wild mushroom. The variety is limited, but the quantity is ample, with about fifty square meters for each type.”
She continued with a slight complaint, “1 realized that even though the space is vast, usable areas are limited. 1 tried clearing the grass to plant more crops, but as soon as I pulled out the old grass, new grass grew. So, there are only four plots with suitable soil.”
Jiang Chuan wasn’t too worried, understanding that every ability has its limitations. Just as his car, while convenient, had a small storage space. So many things bought from the shopping mall had to be stored in his daughter’s interspace. Every convenience comes with its own set of challenges.
He continued, “The last time so many animals were attracted was because of the diversity of plants. Some plant scents even attract snakes. This time, we’ll use radishes to encircle this patch of land. Then sprinkle the interspace water. It should attract herbivores. With them guarding the outer perimeter, we can let the land inside flourish..”
