Transmigrated as a Peasant Baby Who is Pampered by All-Chapter 524 - 322: Exposed

Dried bamboo leaves and twigs are excellent fire-starting materials. These must be taken home because every day a lot of firewood is needed to cook pig feed.

Along the way, Xiao Mi picked up a handy rock.

There is a chopping axe at home, but it’s too heavy for them to use and is unnecessary.

She surrounded the saplings with bamboo slices, pounding them a bit deeper with a rock, and then wrapped some wicker around it like weaving a basket. In no time, a protective cover for the saplings was completed.

With this protective cover, there’s no need to worry about the saplings being trampled by ducks and geese.

By the time they had all the saplings covered, it was almost lunchtime.

They didn’t stay up late last night, so no need for a nap today. After lunch, Xiao Mi took Wei Ziang up the mountain.

Everyone was used to the two of them running up the mountain for no reason, so much so that no one even asked anymore.

But today was not about hunting, nor just bringing bamboo leaves and twigs back. As soon as they got up the mountain, Xiao Mi took out the black cloth strip that Wei Ziang was very familiar with.

Wei Ziang smiled wryly, not understanding why Xiao Mi always made a mystery of things like this, but since she liked it this way, he let her be.

He first blindfolded himself with the black cloth, then put on an eye mask—a familiar operation. While there’s still a bit less than half a month, they should first enter the space to absorb Spiritual Energy!

"Ooh ooh~" Just as they were about to enter the space, Xiao Bai arrived, and sure enough, Xiao Mi was next to a tree nearby.

"Come here." One hand pulling Wei Ziang, the other hand calling Xiao Bai and Xiao Mi.

Xiao Hei didn’t follow today; who knows where he went.

Following the usual method, they walked around half of the mountain pond and then directly entered the space.

His finger was suddenly pinched, and Xiao Mi, feeling baffled, asked: "What are you doing, lil’ bro?"

Wei Ziang remained calm and chuckled lightly, "Nothing, let’s hurry and go."

Wei Ziang didn’t know about Spiritual Energy, but he could feel it. Instantly, his body felt much more comfortable—a vital energy that his body desperately needed and began absorbing almost instinctively.

Yet the effect was slight.

He still needed to combine it with sword practice to absorb more.

Actually, Wei Ziang knew that this place was definitely not some spot in the back mountain. Having hunted on the mountain with Xiao Mi for so long, how could he not know what’s up there?

Most importantly, Xiao Mi overlooked something very obvious.

But since Xiao Mi didn’t say, he just pretended not to know.

As soon as Xiao Bai and Xiao Mi entered the space, they started running around gaily. Xiao Mi led Wei Ziang to the courtyard, by the Spiritual Spring Pool.

The Spiritual Energy was the densest there.

On the way, Wei Ziang tugged at his collar, a helpless smile appearing on his lips.

He already felt a bit hot, but Xiao Mi apparently didn’t notice anything.

Besides...

"Xiao Mi, are there bees around here? I hear the sound of bees."

And it sounded like a large swarm of bees, buzzing as if the hive were right by his ears.

Xiao Mi thought it was bad news—the hive was not far away. Bees still active in winter seemed a bit abnormal.

She then hurriedly led Wei Ziang a few steps forward: "There is a hive. Let’s walk quickly to avoid getting stung by bees."

Wei Ziang smiled helplessly. He had already reminded Xiao Mi, so for the rest, he continued to pretend not to know.

Soon they reached the Spiritual Spring Pool. There was nothing else around, and Xiao Mi breathed a sigh of relief, happily saying.

"Alright, lil’ bro, you can practice your sword here. I’ll be right nearby; remember not to take off the eye mask!"

Wei Ziang nodded, "Don’t worry, I won’t."

Since Xiao Mi didn’t want him to know what this place was, he would also remain unaware.

With such ’tacit understanding’, they practiced swordsmanship until the afternoon when Xiao Mi finally led Wei Ziang out of the space, letting Xiao Mi and Xiao Bai out too.

On their way back, they didn’t forget to take the bamboo leaves and twigs they had cleared in the morning.

As they descended the mountain, they saw Yang Shulin driving an ox cart towards the fish pond at their house. There were several buckets in the cart. No need to ask; this was a trip back home, bringing some small fish that the Jiang family needed.

Xiao Mi was curious and put down the bamboo leaves to go watch the excitement.

Five large buckets, each holding about twenty fish—not many.

"Brother Jiang, these were caught by my brother-in-law this afternoon. They’re all fresh. He said he would bring over a few buckets every afternoon until you have enough."

Yang Shulin stopped his ox cart and saw the circle of protection around the fish pond, laughing heartily: "Brother Jiang, you’re really into it, even protecting a few saplings."

Jiang Hu waved his hand: "It wasn’t me, it’s the trees Xiao Mi planted. She said she’s waiting for lil’ uncle to grow up, so he can fish under the big tree. She and Ziang were the ones who were worried about the saplings being trampled by ducks and geese, so they surrounded it especially."

"Oh, it was you two." Yang Shulin looked at Xiao Mi and Wei Ziang in surprise: "You both are really capable."

Then he picked up the bucket, went down the steps, and poured various mid-sized fish into the pond.

"Brother Jiang, your family really grows whatever does well. I noticed the water hyacinth in this pond looks better than in previous years."

Jiang Hu smiled without explaining, instead asking, "By the way, how much for these fish?"

Yang Shulin was immediately distracted: "I didn’t ask. My brother-in-law mentioned he’ll be coming over tomorrow afternoon. Let him talk to you, and you can decide based on how many fish there are, just have a figure in mind."

"Alright, paying tomorrow afternoon works too."

The smallest crucian carp was two fingers wide, the biggest grass carp as long as chopsticks, and there were other carp and silver carp, all were kinds not wanted by the restaurant.

After a few buckets of small fish were poured in, one flick of the tail, and they were all gone. Taking advantage of no one noticing, Xiao Mi also went down the other steps, pretending to play with the water, but was actually adding Spiritual Spring water to the fish pond.
