“What?” Jiang Sanlang, as ever, was puzzled by his daughter’s speech.

“Fish, fish!” Yingbao was exhausted. “Fish fish.”

Spring Lady laughed and acted as a translator, “The little miss is asking for fish.”

Yingbao kept nodding in agreement. Her beautiful mother was indeed intelligent.

“Ha, ha, so Yingbao wants to eat fish,” Jiang Sanlang suddenly understood, “Once daddy is home, I will go and catch one from the river!”

Yingbao: …

Having bought brown sugar and a measure of rice, and spent ten coins on a bamboo basket to hold things, he had spent almost all of his remaining money.

Jiang Sanlang put his daughter in the bamboo basket on his back, held his wife’s hand and happily rushed home.

Once home, he placed the little miss on the kang bed, and the couple started a fire and began kneading dough, ready to reward themselves with pancakes.

Yingbao on the kang bed was rather bored, rolling around several times, she eventually lay down pretending to sleep.

From her little pouch, she took out a handful of rice in its husk, secretly brought it into the cave and placed it next to the stone wall with the various seeds she had collected earlier.

These were all grains she had secretly taken a few days ago from their storage of home.

Upon inspection by Yingbao, there were a few soybeans, a handful of wheat grains, a handful of millet, and the rice she had just brought in.

It was a pity that she was too young and had insufficient energy. She couldn’t stay in this space for long, otherwise, she would certainly have planted them all by now.

While she still had the energy, Yingbao looked intently around the cave.

The cave ceiling, the surrounding walls, and the ground, all were made of hard rock, and she felt as if she were in a closed-off space made from rock.

There was no apparent passage to enter or leave, yet she was clearly standing here, which was indeed magical.

Yingbao also found that some crystal clear white plants were growing in the cracks of the rock. They looked a bit like Ganoderma lucidum.

The crystal white leaves were only the size of soybeans, plump and thick. Clustered together, they looked like palm-sized hydrangeas. If you pinch the leaves, they burst into a sticky juice, akin to cactus juice.

The juice had a faint fragrance that was invigorating, and it would dry quickly when applied to the skin.

The skin it was applied to became as smooth as if it had been coated with snow cream, and the lingering fragrance persisted.

It seemed harmless, but she couldn’t confirm if it was edible.

However, according to the logic of the story scripts, some treasures of heaven and earth were indeed grown in mysterious caves or secret realms. Hence, this crystal white plant could be a kind of treasure from heaven and earth.

Yingbao, lost in her thoughts, decided to take some out when she had the chance to feed it to the animals for observation, and see what their reactions would be.

Unfortunately, there had not been a suitable opportunity recently, and she had not encountered any animals she could feed.

Of course, she couldn’t use her own hens for testing. What if they died, or stopped laying eggs because of it? That would certainly break her and her parents’ hearts.

Yingbao lingered in the cave a bit longer, but soon she was unable to keep her eyes open, and unknowingly fell asleep.

In her dream, she seemed to be walking through a mist, suddenly a golden light flashed in front of her, bringing up a giant book as large as a table, a few majestic characters on the book cover: Qian Palace Sweet Charming.

Oh, this…

Perhaps it was because she had not been reading script stories for a while, so even her dreams contained a book with such a familiar title.

She turned to the first page, and Yingbao looked closely, several familiar terms jumped out from the paper.

Chuanhe Town, Xichen Village, Qinchuan County, Chen Tiantian.

Yingbao was taken aback.

The place she was in now, wasn’t it Chuanhe Town in Qinchuan County?

Across the river, wasn’t that Xichen Village?
