Chapter 115: Chapter 115 Mutual Guarding Chapter 115: Chapter 115 Mutual Guarding At that moment, Bai Junjun, who had been running wildly, hurriedly arrived at the deserted dense forest. She immediately activated her Special Ability to control the vines on a certain tree and crafted an extremely sturdy basket. Then, she went to find Qiu Er and Qiu San.

At that time, Qiu Er and Qiu San were helping their father distribute medicine to patients. When Miss Junjun came looking for them in a hurry, the brothers thought there was some serious matter at hand. Putting aside all other work, they quickly followed Miss Junjun.

But they were stunned when they reached the riverside.

“Miss Junjun, what do you need this little Dawn Cedar for?”

“It’s very useful,” Bai Junjun replied calmly.

As the disciple of Divine Doctor Mr. Dan He, her words were taken seriously by the brothers, who didn’t ask any further questions and swiftly helped her with the tree.

Knowing that Bai Junjun intended to nurture the tree in the basket, they considerately dug up the tree along with the mud.

Qiu Er and Qiu San were good at farm work, and they managed to dig up the little tree intact.

Of course, in the eyes of the brothers, Bai Junjun’s kung fu was also impressive. Just look at how meticulously this vine basket was woven the mud couldn’t seep through and dirty the clothes!

Listening to their praises, Bai Junjun simply smiled without comment.

After all, this was woven using Special Ability, the vines would automatically block the mud. It’s not just mud-proof, but water-proof as well.

However, although the tree sapling was small, the half-basket of mud was not light.

Naturally, the task of carrying the little tree sapling fell upon Bai Sasa.

Bai Sasa was very happy to receive instructions from her elder sister.

At first, she even thought that her sister had specially arranged this load-bearing basket to train her strength.

Upon hearing this, Bai Junjun quickly explained, “Although it can train endurance, that’s really secondary. The important thing is that you need to protect this tree sapling well!”

Bai Sasa looked bewildered for a moment, but remembering her sister’s fondness for gardening, she naively nodded, “Don’t worry! I will definitely protect this little Miaomiao well.”

So, Bai Junjun and her group set off once more with the Seven-Person Team.

Along the way, the group of nine people, including Old Uncle Qiu and Bai Junjun, were indeed conspicuous, especially Bai Sasa with the basket on her back – she was the center of everyone’s attention.

“Young lady, why are you carrying a Dawn Cedar?” the people chuckled.

Even a toon tree would have been better at least its sprouts could be used in cooking.

However, the Dawn Cedar takes a long time to mature, and as it’s often soaked in water, it retains a lot of moisture, making it unsuitable for furniture or firewood. Therefore, people generally let it grow on the roadside without bothering to touch it.

Yet escaping famine was already hard enough, and this young girl was carrying a Dawn Cedar, seemingly bringing her own difficulties.

Bai Sasa, however, didn’t mind.

“It’s not hard. This is my elder sister’s little tree; it’s very light.”

“Oh my, you are so good to your sister.”

The group in front had decreased from over seven hundred to just over five hundred people. Although nearly two hundred had left, those who remained were more united and cohesive.

So as they continued on their way, there was no longer the previous lifelessness and estrangement, and occasionally, they engaged in conversation.

Ah Dao, who was atop the horse carriage, silently watched Bai Junjun’s group at the back of the procession. He was pleased that Old Uncle Qiu was with them but despised Bai Junjun’s presence.

However, it was clear that Old Uncle Qiu and Bai Junjun were sticking together. If Bai Junjun were not allowed in the group, it was certain that Old Uncle Qiu wouldn’t join either. But Old Uncle Qiu, being a physician, could take care of the young master, so Ah Dao had to turn a blind eye to Bai Junjun’s presence.

Ah Dao had no choice but to silently resolve to keep a close eye on Bai Junjun and never let her have the opportunity to approach the young master.

Little did he know that while he was on guard against Bai Junjun, she was also muttering about not getting close to the horse carriage.
