Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 55

Mysterious Person (2)
But now, when it was her turn to open those boxes and sort them, Duan Yixin really wanted to cry. It’s a pity that even if she sheds tears, she still has to do it.

After finishing the second bowl of porridge, Duan Yixin went to the well to wash dishes and pots. Seeing that it was still dark outside, she went back to the house and took the candle from the living room.

She took the candle with her to the well to wash the dishes and returned the clean pots and bowls to the kitchen. Then, she went to check out the medicinal herbs drying in the backyard. Duan Yixin was a scientist in her previous life and very observant. As soon as her eyes fell on the medicinal herbs, she noticed that someone had touched these medicinal herbs.

She squinted her eyes and checked the ground carefully but still found nothing. Not even a single footprint could be found. Duan Yixin checked the herbs drying racks one by one and found that several medicinal herbs were missing from every herb drying rack.

She stood there and fell into deep thoughts, ‘This man is not here to steal but to investigate. Since he only collected samples of each medicinal herb, he was not from Chang Shou Pharmacy. But if this person is not from Chang Shou Pharmacy, then who is this person? What is the purpose of investigating me? Is this person a subordinate of Master Chen?’

Thinking of this, Duan Yixin’s eyes turned cold. If Master Chen had such an expert as a subordinate, her future would be full of danger. But if this person is not from Master Chen’s side, then she will face more dangers because she does not know who her enemy is.

The most dangerous thing is that the enemy is in the dark, and she is in the light. Without any information about the enemy, Duan Yixin can only act more carefully now.

Lacking information to deduce the mysterious person’s identity, Duan Yixin could only put this incident on hold. Now, all she needs to do is plant the seeds before heading to Chunshan Town with Tang Sanniu to buy land.

After putting all the half-dried medicinal herbs into the warehouse, Duan Yixin went to the woodshed. When she entered, she first examined it carefully. Her eyes darkened when she saw that one of the wooden buckets on the shelves had lost some of its soil.

‘It seems that this person is really here to investigate me. Luckily, I didn’t pull out the high-tech stuff and made everything by hand. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if this person targeted me because of those stuff inside my warehouse.’

Thinking of her carelessness this time, Duan Yixin put the two large wooden barrels filled with nutrient solution and adjusted water in the corner of the woodshed into the warehouse.

Now that the mysterious person found out about the hydroponic shelves last night, she will leave them here. Moreover, she can build more shelves using materials from this world, so there is no risk of revealing the warehouse.

After making sure that everything that shouldn’t exist in this world had been put away, Duan Yixin took a simple wooden chair and a small wooden table from the warehouse and put them in the corner of the woodshed.

She sat down, took out the strawberries from the warehouse, and began collecting the seeds. Since the seeds are collected directly from the fruit, she doesn’t need to soak them in water; they can be used directly.

Duan Yixin dampened a thin cloth with the water prepared last night, then spread the seeds on it, and then covered it with another damp cloth. After that, she put the seeds into a small wooden box and covered it with a piece of dry cloth. If nothing happens, the seeds will germinate soon.

She put the small wooden box aside and took out the Chinese cabbage seeds she had bought yesterday. Walking to the wooden buckets on the shelf, Duan Yixin took a seed and buried it in the mixed soil. She used ten wooden buckets to grow Chinese cabbage, and the remaining ten wooden buckets will be reserved to grow strawberries.

After sowing the seeds, she filled a wooden bucket on the top of the shelf with the water she had prepared earlier. Since a wooden bucket holds about twenty liters of water, she mixed the water with a third of a cup of nutrient solution.

The mixed water in this wooden bucket will drip through the small bamboo tube into the buckets on the shelf to keep the soil properly moist. Since the seeds were in the germination stage, Duan Yixin adjusted the water dripping speed to a slower rate to ensure that the seeds would not be flooded and rot.

After setting the water dripping speed, Duan Yixin unplugged the plug on the other end of the bamboo tube so that the mixed water would drip into the wooden buckets below. When the mixed water slowly dripped into the soil in the wooden buckets, Duan Yixin stayed in the woodshed for a while to observe the process.

Seeing that everything was going smoothly according to her calculations, Duan Yixin smiled and left the woodshed. After washing her hands and locking the door, she walked to the entrance of Yunshan Village when the first ray of sunlight rose from the east horizon.

When she arrived at the entrance of the village, Tang Sanniu was already waiting for her. He looked at her and said, “Xin Niang, we will ride in a bullock cart to save time.”

Duan Yixin knew how weak her body was now, so she nodded in agreement. After waiting for a while, they saw Sun Dagou approaching as he drove the bullock cart.

Due to the bandit attacks a few days ago, the villagers lost a lot of food and their farmland. Since it was too late to restart planting, the villagers had no choice but to go to Chunshan Town to find work.
