Chapter 33: Chapter 33 Citrus dica Chapter 33: Chapter 33 Citrus dica “Tsk tsk tsk, eldest sister, don’t talk nonsense—quickly knock on wood.”
Bai Sasa frantically looked for wood, while Bai Junjun didn’t understand this custom, only finding it amusing.
“I just wanted to say that your strength doesn’t embarrass in the slightest; on the contrary, your strength is an excellent talisman for preserving life, a gift bestowed by the heavens!
However, your power is still very modest, and it’s far from enough to face the dangers out there.
I once saw a thod to enhance strength in an ancient text, would you be willing to learn it?”
Bai Sasa didn’t expect her eldest sister to be willing to offer guidance.
Being guided by the World’s Number One Talent Girl was sothing all the won in Baiju Country aspired to but couldn’t obtain.
Although what the eldest sister was going to teach her was about physical strength, Bai Sasa was still very eager to beco closer to her.
“I am willing! Please instruct , eldest sister!”
Bai Junjun suddenly felt as if she was back at a base training a young Special Ability User, her expression softening.
“But the training will be very tough, you must be prepared.”
“As long as I can beco strong and protect everyone, I’m not afraid of hard work,” Bai Sasa replied sincerely.
Bai Junjun and Bai Sasa also held a family eting, while the child taking the lead looked back and waved.
“Co over here quick, there’s lots of Citrus dica.”
As the day drew to a close, a faint light still lingered, and the two children, one dressed in a simple but clean hemp garnt and the other in a robe of fine silk that had long since lost its original color and was now grimy and pitiful, stood out starkly in contrast to Bai Lingyu, who appeared even dirtier, smaller, and more pitiful by comparison.
Bai Junjun suddenly realized that the most important thing for them to do upon arriving at Green Pool was to take a good bath.
Bai Junjun, with her hands in her pockets, walked towards the two children.
Not far from them was the pool of water; Green Pool had no tributaries, seemingly ford by underground seepage and the accumulation of rainwater over ti.
The pool water was crystal clear and green, allowing for a clear view of the fish below.
Around the grassy edges of the pool grew a vibrant green vine plant, with leaves about the size of a palm, glistening with an oily sheen.
Bai Junjun picked a leaf, crushed it lightly, and imdiately slled an unusual fragrance.
Xiao Shan excitedly said, “This is called Citrus dica, it’s delicious when grilled with fish or stir-fried with rice!”
The Bai siblings’ knowledge of wild vegetables was limited to what was commonly known, and they knew precious little about spices and garnishes.
As Xiao Shan said to pick, they obediently followed suit, not sure how much to pick… Xiao Shan himself had no concept of the right amount either.
So when Qiu San arrived with a wooden fork, he found the four of them had already picked a large pile of Citrus dica.
He couldn’t help but widen his eyes, “This… it’s only ant to be used as a seasoning, a few leaves are enough, too much will be overpowering.”
“…”
Everyone glanced at each other, their arms filled to the brim with leaves… at a loss for words for a mont.
“Well… it’s okay, they can last for a few days. You better take them back quickly.”
Qiu San, not wanting to discourage their enthusiasm, quickly suggested a solution and then started to remove his shoes to enter the pool.
Xiao Shan, seeing Uncle San playing in the water, was quite envious, but he also knew that Uncle San would never allow him to play in the pool.
Qiu San was skilled at hunting, but this was limited to creatures that ran on the mountains or flew in the sky; to be frank, not only he, but their entire family was not very adept at dealing with aquatic creatures.
Still, his father had said that drinking fish soup could quickly restore one’s strength, so he ca to try his luck.
Qiu San had no choice but to take on the task and take a chance with his luck.
However, after more than a dozen attempts by Qiu San, the fish, as if they had six eyes each, always managed to skillfully dodge away.
