My Beast Ranch Story

Chapter 92, The Spirit Garden by the Mysterious Forest

"Forgetfulness grass?"

This name makes people feel a touch of sadness.

Jiang Simiao looked at the potted plant. The roots of the plant were already a little yellow.The normally full leaves were curled up and hanging weakly on the branches.

It doesn't look like a flowering plant. Its name is forgetwort, but it really looks like a kind of grass.

It's just that it's withering now.

I don’t know if it’s because it withered, but as a spiritual plant, when Jiang Simiao saw it, the illustrated book didn’t give any reaction.

"Why is this the only one left now?"

Jiang Simiao turned to look at Grandma Yelena. She didn't seem to care about anything and just smiled lightly.

"Let me tell you the story of the forget-me-not."

"Yes." Jiang Simiao subconsciously sat upright and listened carefully.

The big spider next to him just stuffed a noodle fruit into his mouth. Hearing that Yelena was about to tell a story like before, he stopped and slowly ate the noodle fruit.

"Forget-worn grass is not a spiritual plant that most people like. It is just grass. It does not bloom very beautiful flowers and does not smell very good. It is also very difficult to grow, so most people don't like it very much. plant."

Grandma Yelena looked at the pot of forget-worn grass and continued with a smile: "But I seem to be an exception. When I was a child, did you know that when I was one year old, I caught Zhou Zhou? At that time, I caught only one grass, which was the forget-worn grass."

"It seems that a customer put it there at the time. Even she didn't expect that there would be children grabbing such a piece of grass."

Grandma Yelena looked at the pot of forgetwort, turned to look at the big spider, stretched out her withered hand, pointed at it with a finger, and smiled at it: "Big spider, can you help me get that pot of forgetwort?" are you coming?"

"Hiss."

The big spider who was listening in a daze suddenly came back to his senses, shook his body, spit out silk, and pulled the pot of forget-me-not grass over, letting Grandma Yelena catch it firmly.

"Well, anyway, after that person saw me taking the forgetwort, he smiled and told my dad that if I was willing to study plants in the future, I would go find her when I get to college."

"She also deliberately touched my head and told me that I was a gifted child."

Grandma Yelena took the potted plant and held it in her arms, letting Jiang Simiao take a good look at the leaf.

"It's still withered now, right?"

Grandma Yelena suddenly changed the topic again. I don’t know if it’s because she is older. She always likes to change the topic in the middle of a sentence. If you don’t listen carefully enough, you may really not be able to keep up with her train of thought.

"Yeah." Jiang Simiao nodded, wondering why Grandma Yelena suddenly said this.

Then Grandma Yelena didn't speak anymore. She just gently brought her skinny hand close to the forget-me-not, and her fingers lightly touched the leaves.As if some magic had been added, the originally yellowed and curled leaves slowly unfolded, and the yellow was slowly replaced by green, full of vitality.

However, only this leaf has returned to normal, and other places are still withered and yellow, and may fall off at any time.

"It's much better now. In the past, if I touched it like this, the whole plant would grow well."

Grandma Yelena shook her head with regret, put the potted plant aside, and continued to explain to Jiang Simiao.

"I didn't realize this ability until I was six years old. Later, my father said that I had this ability after I got pregnant. This led me to embark on the path of learning about plants, and at that time I became obsessed with the forgetwort. "

It is difficult to feed the Forgetwort, but with Grandma Yelena’s ability, it is indeed very easy.

"Then why is it gradually getting weaker?"

"Actually, I don't know. I planted a lot of them back then because I liked its smell. Moonlight rosemary was my favorite flower, and forget-me-not was my favorite grass."

"But in the beginning, the moonlight rosemary could not reproduce, and it gradually declined after the flowering period. The same was true for the forgetwort at the beginning. When I was studying every day, I would go to the small town and touch every piece of forgetwort. bunches of rosemary, so they all grow well.”

Thinking of this, Grandma Yelena laughed, as if she missed that time very much, and she was also very proud. Her wrinkled face was full of joy that could not be concealed.

"You should remember what I said. Starting more than ten years ago, those moonlight rosemary and forget-me-nots began to die and disappear."

"Um……"

Things that were originally unrelated were mentioned together by Grandma Yelena, and Jiang Simiao first had an idea in his mind.

"Actually, my abilities began to slowly disappear at that time."

Grandma Yelena said with a smile.

"That's when I started to panic, but I found that the plants were dying little by little, and my abilities were weakening little by little, and then I suddenly remembered a dream I had when I was a child."

"Someone told me that these abilities will slowly disappear when I grow up. It will come back every night on my birthday, blessing me and apologizing to me."

"Then it stopped coming, and my abilities started to fade away."

As soon as the voice fell, the wind began to blow, and one or two hanging snow-white hairs were blown up. The wind carried the fragrance of flowers, and one or two leaves passed by Jiang Simiao's eyes.

After Grandma Yelena finished speaking, she said nothing more. She just looked at the withered forgetwort again, with a look of nostalgia in her eyes. After about a few minutes, she looked up at Jiang Simiao.

"Si Miao, let's eat first. After listening to the story, eat slowly. After eating, let's go to my flower garden in the forest together."

"A flower garden in the forest?"

Jiang Simiao was startled.

"Don't you know?" Grandma Yelena pursed her lips and smiled, covering her face with one hand. "After all, I am a plant researcher. I have a flower garden in the forest. I applied with the main research institute to open it in Oudiao Town Forest. It was built inside. But it was built with space props and contains my research. I came to you here because I actually wanted to tell you that there may be plants there that are the same as those under the bridge."

"Because the latter one has become my personal research institute, the things researched there are all things I have always cared about. When I leave, the higher-ups will take them away, including the research results inside."

"Let's go after eating. I'll show you what I found." After Grandma Yelena finished speaking, maybe she was also thirsty, so she gently picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and drank slowly.

Jiang Simiao still had questions to ask, but Grandma Yelena had already mentioned it, so she didn't ask anything and started eating slowly.

Grandma Yelena seems to be very good at making snacks, lotus cakes, noodles, sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and red bean cakes.

Although the quantity is not large, the variety is very rich, all with a slight sweetness, and you will not get tired of it even if you eat too much.

While Jiang Simiao was eating, he was thinking about the story that Grandma Yelena just told.

She showed the talent to accelerate the growth of plants when she was a child. Later, she dreamed of something, blessing and apologizing at the same time. Finally, as her ability disappeared, the plants she had been taking care of to grow slowly perished.

In addition, she said that her research was related to the underside of the broken bridge.

Maybe that actually has something to do with herself.

In the next time, Jiang Simiao was eating these pastries while thinking about what Grandma Yelena said just now.

When the pastries were finished, only some dregs and crumbs were left on the plate, and all the tea was drunk, Jiang Simiao helped Grandma Yelena tidy up her things and prepared to set off.

"Grandma Yelena, if you want to go there, why don't you sit on the back of the big spider and I will follow you."

Jiang Simiao originally wanted to help Grandma Yelena go, but she smiled and avoided Jiang Simiao's hand.

"I can still walk. Let's walk there together and have a look. We don't need to sit on the back of the big spider."

"How long does it take to walk there?"

When Jiang Simiao saw this, he stopped forcing him and just asked from the side.

"It will take more than an hour. You can arrive before sunset."

what……

Jiang Simiao looked at the time and said, come on, I can't make it back before dinner.

"Looking at you, are you worried that you won't go back for dinner at night?"

Grandma Yelena noticed Jiang Simiao's expression and smiled.

"We'll walk over there and there will be a device when we come back, so don't worry too much."

"Oh, okay, Grandma Yelena, just be careful."

Jiang Simiao breathed a sigh of relief and said to Grandma Yelena.

"As I said, don't worry about me, an old man. My legs and feet are still fine. If I don't walk, I won't be able to walk anymore."

Grandma Yelena laughed and cursed, then walked in front of Jiang Simiao and Big Spider.

The sun gradually set in the afternoon, and the sunlight dragged their shadows long and staggering into the forest.

There are many new fruits growing on the berry bush next to it, but they don't seem to be ripe yet. After another period of spring rain, they may all appear one after another.

When Jiang Simiao walked before, he didn't know what was around him. This time he walked with Grandma Yelena. Although he walked slowly, she would explain everything he went to.

"You should have a map of the mysterious forest, right? Sang Du gave it to you. If you go this way, there will be a bamboo forest. After the spring rain, there will be many delicious spring bamboo shoots, and you may also encounter purple jade bamboo shoots."

"Go ahead this way. Look at the fern on the roadside. It can be used to make cakes. Once spring is halfway over, you won't be able to find it."

"The vines on that tree are very tough and can be used as ropes."

Yelena seemed to have not been out for a long time. She told Jiang Simiao everything she was looking at. After walking for more than an hour, she finally came to a big tree.

The tree was too big. It was as wide as five Jiang Simiaos, but not very tall. It was a very fat tree. There was a vine wrapped around the stump, and a topaz-like fruit hung on it.

"This is my research institute."

Grandma Yelena walked forward and smiled at Jiang Simiao.

"You can also call it the Spirit Garden."

"It contains spiritual plants that can be collected locally, but they all grow according to the season. Although some have not grown yet, most of them have grown."

"Ah?! Really?!"

Jiang Simiao's face changed, his eyes shone, and he was overjoyed.

Unexpected gain!
"come in."

"Big spiders can come in too."

Grandma Yelena took the lead in touching the yellow fruit and then disappeared.

Jiang Simiao and the big spider looked at each other and followed in succession.

With a blink of an eye, he saw what was going on inside.

"Wow!"

My eyes are filled with golden light!
