After Tian Jingzhong left, another old man, Hu Chun’s uncle, asked, “Hm, it seems like you all want to stay?”
“Uncle, I want to stay.
“If we go back to that little mountain valley, well still have to start again anyway.
“The only good thing is the land we own, but who knows what it’ll be like after the flood?
“But it’s different here; this is the river transportation channel, and there are plenty of opportunities. As long as we work hard, we don’t have to worry about being unable to settle down.” Hu Chun gave his reasons.
“Indeed. The problem is that it’s too far to go back, too. There’s a drought in the north and floods in the south.
“But how long can we last with the silver in our hands?
“Most importantly, I’m afraid 1 can’t work much with my old bones.” The old man who spoke first sighed.
Then let’s go to the place Constable Tian mentioned first. If it really doesn’t work out, we’ll try to settle in a few other villages.” Uncle Hu was dejected when he heard that.
The group followed Tian Jingzhong’s guidance and found the place he mentioned.
To put it bluntly, it was a small valley surrounded on both sides by mountains in the southwest. The ground was as barren as Constable Tian had said, with many rocks and shrubs.
However, the area was quite large, with an area of about 1,000 acres. It would definitely be enough for a thousand people to live if it were developed.
These people had grown up in the mountains, so they didn’t mind. Instead, they felt a sense of closeness.
They each found a stick and walked in to check around.
They focused on the shrubs growing on the ground and the grass. If they could plant something, they would be able to stay no matter what they planted.
Two hours later, the group returned to their original spot. One of the old men took out a thorny branch and said, “I have most of these plants over there. There’s also grass and some wild vegetables.”
“Same here. There are quite a few jujube trees on the southern hill, and they can be considered medicinal herbs.”
“It’s the same on our side. We also have many of these spiky things.”
“There are more spiky shrubs on the west mountains, and many of them.” Hu Chun quipped in.
“If I’m not wrong, it’s a type of flower,” he added after a moment of hesitation.
“Flower?”
“Yes, it looks like the moon rose, but it doesn’t look like it at the same time. There are many fine thorns on the edges of the leaves.” Hu Chun stated as he returned his gaze to the branch.
“Let’s go back and ask. If this is valuable, let’s change our plan to planting flowers. It just so happens that Old Lin here has worked in a rich family’s flower garden before.”
“Sure, let’s ask Doctor Gu then. He’s a doctor, and he might recognize this thing.” Hu Chun said.
“Let’s go.”
After that, the group returned to the village.
Hu Chun found the Gu family house after some time. However, as soon as he reached the door, he immediately retreated when he heard a dog barking.
Gu Chengrui, who was squeezing pickled vegetables with Zhou Ying in the courtyard, looked up and was stunned when he saw him. He went up to Er Zhuang and held him, saying, “Brother Hu, you’re here. Let’s talk inside.”
“It’s ok; it’s just a matter of a few words. I won’t go in and disturb you.” Hu Chun glanced at Zhou Ying, who was busy, and shook his head.
Gu Chengrui had no choice but to walk out.
Hu Chun directly handed the branch to him and said, “Doctor Gu, do you know what this is?”
Gu Chengrui took it and observed it carefully before saying, “This is a type of wild rose; where did you pick it from?”
Hu Chun didn’t hide anything after hearing this. He told him everything that had happened since Tian Jingzhong came to find them.. He asked, “Have you seen this flower before? Can it be sold for money?”
