Chapter 54 -54 Wasting Heavenly Resources
Chiang Xiao was talking to her grandfather at length for the first time.
In the past, she was like a child with autism, often not uttering a single word all day.
Because she subconsciously harbored resentment towards her grandfather and grandmother, she never even offered them a smile.
Today, as she spoke so much for the first time, the shock to Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao was significant.
So after lunch, when Chiang Xiao said she wanted to go back to her room to sleep and not accompany them to the Old Chiang Family’s house, Chiang Songhai agreed. This was already an act of defiance against Chiang Songtao’s orders.
Previously, Chiang Songtao had instructed him to bring Chiang Xiao along.
Chiang Xiao probably knew what Chiang Songtao wanted to say; it was nothing more than a reprimand for her, criticizing her for disrespecting her uncle and even uttering that Chiang Baohe wanted to beat her to death.
For Chiang Songtao, this was tantamount to tarnishing the reputation of the Old Chiang Family.
Chiang Xiao was now too wise to go there just to be lectured.
She had more important things to do.
Chiang Songhai went to the Old Chiang Family’s house alone, and as Chiang Xiao watched him leave, she immediately said to Ge Liutao, “Grandma, I’m going out for a walk.”
Without waiting for Ge Liutao’s reaction, she had already run out.
“Little Little, be careful and don’t go to the creek bank again!” Ge Liutao could only shout, but it was too late to stop her. She was very worried, not knowing if Chiang Xiao had fully recovered. Chiang Xiao used to love going to Nameless Creek, but she can’t go there anymore after what happened.
But Chiang Xiao ran too quickly, and Ge Liutao didn’t even have the chance to caution her.
It was now noon, and most villagers were either having lunch at home or resting.
Chiang Xiao ran all the way to the bank of Nameless Creek in one go.
Listening to the murmuring stream, she first calmed her somewhat frantic heartbeat.
Her consciousness once again reached into the space, and upon seeing the particularly thriving Fragrant Russian Knapweed, her joy surged anew.
She had suddenly remembered that morning that there were several kinds of herbs along the banks of Nameless Creek.

Of course, the large and conspicuous ones had already been dug up by her grandfather, but Chiang Songhai was not as familiar with Nameless Creek bank as she was; she used to hide here alone after being scolded and bullied, and she had seen some of the herbs hidden in dark spots.
It didn’t matter if they were small and frail; she now had a piece of supremely fertile black soil.
While others harbored fear towards Nameless Creek, Chiang Xiao felt more at ease and calm here, not afraid at all.
She leaped to the opposite bank of the creek and walked upstream.
After walking for a while, she saw a hillock covered with wild weeds and stones, on which she remembered there were a few small plants of Seven-Inch Gold.
Chiang Xiao approached and indeed spotted the Seven-Inch Gold hidden among the wild grass, three plants at most. Seven-Inch Gold flowers in summer and autumn, producing tiny yellow blooms, which must be in blossom to be harvested for medicinal use.
Perhaps because they had not yet flowered, Chiang Songhai hadn’t discovered them.
A flash of joy appeared in Chiang Xiao’s eyes, and she immediately began to carefully dig up the three plants of Seven-Inch Gold and placed them on the black soil for the time being.
She would plant them when it was convenient to go in.
Although there was no one at Nameless Creek, it was still best to be cautious; leaving some things there was fine, but if she suddenly disappeared entirely, it would be disastrous if someone saw her.
Chiang Xiao continued to search along the creek.
After spending an hour, she dug up some Snake Tongue Grass, Plantain Herb, and Purslane, all of which she initially placed on the black soil as well.
But she was still disappointed.
These were all very common herbs; it would be an utter waste to plant them in such fertile soil.
Chiang Xiao felt like she was courting a lightning strike for doing so.
She stood up straight, gazing at Bai Gu Mountain, longing flickering in her eyes.
Her grandfather once said that Bai Gu Mountain was rich in resources, suggesting it was not so much Bai Gu Mountain as Treasure Mountain.
But Bai Gu Mountain was too dangerous, and even the strong young men of the village didn’t dare to go up.
As Chiang Xiao stared dreamily at Bai Gu Mountain, Liu Caiyun felt like she was about to die of anger.
