I Own a Garden with One Hundred Herbs - Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Looting Everything

Bai Caoshi quickly left Hanqing Pavillion.

“Yanjing is a prosperous and wealthy place. Miss Bai, don’t you want to take a look?” Huan Yan stood beside her and sized up her from the corner of her eye.

Of course, she had to go, but she had hands and feet. Why should she live under someone else’s roof? Bai Caoshi smiled. “The world outside is so dangerous. It’s best for me to stay quietly in a small village.”

Huan Yan was in disbelief. Bai Caoshi was actually a calm person. “What if that person insists on bringing you there?”

What should she do?

Bai Caoshi secretly thought about the possibility of poisoning the Edge King. There were many flowers and plants in the villa, and there was a possibility that they were poisonous. Of course, she would not act rashly without a foolproof plan. She pulled Huan Yan’s arm and acted like a little girl. “Sister Huan Yan, I see that your villa master has a deep relationship with a noble. Why doesn’t the villa master help me plead for leniency? I still have my best medicinal cuisine and dishes. I will definitely repay you.”

Was she bribed with delicacies?

Huan Yan shook her head. Her master was not a greedy person, but he seemed to value the little village girl a little. Yes, Huanyan had such a feeling. However, she still said cautiously, “You have to know that the villa master is just a businessman. This matter can only be left to fate. You can’t leave for now. You don’t have to think too much. I’ll bring you around the villa, okay?”

“Great!”

Previously, when she entered the villa, Bai Caoshi had discovered some rare trees. She had long wanted to rob the villa.

With Huan Yan leading the way, it was justifiable.

The two of them first walked around the lakeside path.

After a few steps, she stopped moving. She saw a tree that was four to five meters tall. The bark was grayish-brown, and the leaves were delicate. The tree was covered in white flowers, and thin threads of flowers grew outside the flower crown.

Ligustrum lucidum, a symbol of faithfulness, is a species of tree that is often found in modern gardens.

Unfortunately, the fruit would not fall until August, and it would be winter when it matured. There was no way to record it now.

Huan Yan thought that she liked the flowers that were on the trees, so she stood on her tiptoes and picked one to pin on her head. “This flower really suits you, Miss Bai.”

Bai Caoshi was a little embarrassed. Could she say that she was actually coveting other people’s trees and fruits? The kind that could be uprooted. “Sister Huan Yan, this tree is so beautiful. In the future, when my house is built, I want to plant one too.”

Huan Yan did not want to discourage her. When the master built the villa and gathered these tree seeds, it cost a lot.

Continuing forward, Bai Caoshi saw many trees with fan-shaped leaves. She hugged the tree and pressed her face against the bark.

Ginkgo trees.

The ginkgo, known as the “living fossil of the plant world”, was a rare species in both ancient and modern times.

If autumn came, the trees would be golden and the scenery would be the most beautiful. There were also white fruits with high medicinal value. How many points would one have to exchange for them?

Huan Yan did not understand her “exaggerated” emotions. “Sister Bai, pingzhong tree is the master’s favorite tree. Don’t tell me you want to plant it in your courtyard again.

The ancients called the ginkgo pingzhong.

Bai Caoshi nodded like she was pounding garlic. She was so excited that she was about to cry. “Yes, yes. villa master, you have good taste. This tree is too beautiful. I want to plant two. Oh no, ten.”

Huan Yan held her forehead. ‘Your family wants to build a cottage, right? Then you have to get rich first, the kind that makes you rich overnight. Otherwise, how can you save up this garden full of carnival wood?’

However, Huan Yan did not expect that Bai Caoshi would only take a few months to realize her dream of living in a cottage.

She picked many ginkgo leaves and wrapped them in her clothes. As she walked and stopped, Bai Caoshi’s eyes almost couldn’t contain them.

They were all treasures.

Finally, she stopped in front of a loquat tree. It was seven or eight meters long and hung with glistening yellow loquats. The loquat leaves and fruit were all medicinal herbs.

“Sister Huan Yan, can I pick some?”
