Chapter 224: Found the Isatis Roots

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

If it weren’t for the fact that Zhou Lan’s strength couldn’t be discovered by others, Zhou Lan would, of course, prefer to stay by Jiang Chuan’s side and go into the mountains together.

Jiang Chuan could tell that his wife was worried. He hugged Zhou Lan tightly and gave her a comforting kiss on the cheek. “Don’t worry, there are so many of us here; nothing will go wrong.”

Following that, Jiang Chuan joined the large group and headed into the mountains.

While Jiang Xia was leading everyone to find a patch of shepherd’s purse, she was also constantly on the lookout for isatis roots. However, to her disappointment, the barren mountains were mainly filled with withered trees. Even the weeds had begun to turn yellow, let alone finding a single isatis root.

Just as Jiang Xia was about to give up in disappointment, she suddenly heard a woman shouting, “I found it, 1 found it! Village Chief, 1 found it!”

Jiang Xia’s hope ignited as she turned to look at the woman. The crowd also rushed towards the woman. With the increase in the number of people, the rustling sound of stepping on dried leaves became more apparent.

Jiang Xia, being short, squeezed through the gap between everyone’s legs to get to the front and looked in the direction of the woman’s eyes. Following the woman’s gaze, her initial excitement turned into disappointment. It turned out that what was found was the shepherd purse patch that she had set up the night before. She had thought that they had discovered isatis roots.

As everyone was ecstatically picking the shepherd’s purse, Jiang Xia, disappointed, lowered her shoulders and moved aside to make way for others.

The Village Chief didn’t forget to remind everyone, “Be careful not to damage the roots of the shepherd purse, so they can grow back and we can continue to harvest them!”

Just as Jiang Xia was walking away in disappointment, a flash of green caught her eye. She was stunned at first, then her face turned pale. She tentatively pulled Zhou Lan over and asked, “Mother, do you think that’s isatis root?”

Zhou Lan also noticed this shade of green. From the appearance to the size, it looked almost identical to the isatis roots she knew. It seemed that they had really found the isatis root!

Jiang Xia went closer to take a detailed look and realized that this isatis root didn’t just suddenly grow.

The roots of the isatis were connected to two types of soil. One was dry yellow soil, and the other was moist black soil. It was actually soil from Jiang Xia’s interspace.

It turned out that this isatis root was growing in a crevice of a dead tree’s roots.

And this dead tree was the very one that Jiang Xia, with a try-and-see attitude, had buried in her interspace soil the previous night.

Because the sky was too dark last night, Jiang Xia didn’t recognize that the dead tree was the tree she was experimenting with.

The dead tree seemed unchanged at first glance, but it had regained some vitality. The isatis root seed, located in the roots of the dead tree, had sprung back to life after being buried in the interspace soil, absorbing enough nutrients. Miraculously, it had grown into an actual isatis root.

Knowing that one isatis root plant was not enough to share, Jiang Xia quickly took the opportunity—while everyone’s attention was on the shepherd’s purse field—to secretly water the isatis root with her interspace water.

After absorbing the interspace water, the isatis root immediately began to grow vigorously and even split into three separate plants.

Jiang Xia secretly stowed away one of the isatis roots into her interspace. Only then did she act surprised and call out to the Village Chief, “Uncle Chief, come and see, there really are isatis roots!”

The Village Chief hurried over and, upon seeing the few isatis roots, felt both joy and disappointment. He was happy that there indeed were isatis roots, but disappointed that the few roots were far from enough to share around.

Jiang Xia could tell what the Village Chief was thinking and said, “Uncle Chief, since there are isatis roots here, it means there must be more in other places. Let’s keep looking; we might find more!”

The Village Chief thought that although Jiang Xia was young, she made sense. “Alright,” he said, “these isatis roots belong to you, as you found them first. It is only fair.”

The others looked at Jiang Xia and Zhou Lan with obvious envy in their eyes. The Jiang family seemed to have exceptional luck, discovering not only a vegetable field but also medicinal herbs.

Finding medicinal herbs is not an easy task. Discovering one or two plants here was already quite rare. The other villagers did not have a strong desire to find more isatis roots. Each of them had picked almost a full basket of shepherd’s purse and were ready to wait for their men to come down from the mountain and then head home together..
