Zhao Hai was currently sitting in the Hu Clan's pharmacy. Beside him were two people, one fat and one thin, one male and one female. These two were Fat Cat and his little sister, Zhou Qianqian.
Although Fat Cat was kidnapped to the desert when he was young, the relationship between the two siblings was still very good. Because of this, when Zhou Qianqian saw Fat Cat, she didn't feel any unfamiliarity. On the contrary, the two hugged each other and cried. After crying, they easily accepted each other. Perhaps this was what it meant by 'blood is thicker than blood'.
Now, the two of them have become Zhao Hai's servants. Moreover, they only admitted that they were Zhao Hai's servants, not the Hu Clan's. Zhao Hai didn't think much of it. Becoming his servants wasn't a big deal.
Zhao Hai looked at Fat Cat and said, "How are the things being handled? Even if we can't sell them, we still need to find a good place to store them. " The things that Zhao Hai was talking about were the things that he took from the Tao Family and the Zhou Family. These things were his spoils of war. Naturally, they were the most valuable things in the world.
Fat Cat respectfully replied, "Replying to the Young Master, the things have already been handled. Young Master doesn't need to worry. I've already found the largest bank in the Saber Spirit Nation and stored them there. They are absolutely safe."
Zhao Hai frowned and said, "The things are safe in the bank, but wouldn't everyone know that they belong to me?"
Fat Cat replied, "Young Master doesn't need to worry. I had someone from the family pretend to be a merchant. Then I opened a large vault in the bank and stored the things there. Moreover, I've already paid for the vault for several years. When the time comes, the Young Master just needs to take the receipt and take the things out."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he looked at Fat Cat and said, "Good. You're becoming more and more reliable. Alright, have you exchanged the money? If you have, then what about the things that I asked you to prepare? Are you ready? "
Fat Cat and Zhou Qianqian quickly replied, "Young Master, everything is ready."
Zhao Hai nodded, stood up, and walked out. Fat Cat quickly picked up the wooden box that Zhao Hai had been carrying and followed Zhao Hai out.
When the three arrived outside, Zhao Hai saw Hu Zhong standing at the side. Zhao Hai walked over and said to Hu Zhong, "Uncle Zhong, I've already prepared everything. I want to leave now. I've already informed my family, so you don't need to worry."
Hu Zhong looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master Crane Grass, must you go? Although the news outside has passed, it is still very dangerous for you to go to the desert at this time. Whether it is the Hundred Thousand Mountains or the grassland, there are enemies everywhere. If they find you, it will be too dangerous. "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, you don't need to worry about me. I'll be leaving." After he said that, Zhao Hai turned and walked out. Hu Zhong looked at this and knew that he couldn't stop Zhao Hai. He didn't say anything and just followed Zhao Hai out. It wasn't until Zhao Hai sent them out that Hu Zhong returned.
Fat Cat and Zhou Qianqian followed Zhao Hai. Originally, Zhao Hai didn't want Zhou Qianqian to follow, but she insisted. In the end, Zhao Hai had no choice but to bring her along.
The three of them were riding horses. Zhao was still riding Mottled Bamboo, while Fat Cat and Zhou Qianqian were riding very docile horses that Hu Zhong had prepared for them.
The speed of the three wasn't very fast. After they left the College Mountain, they headed towards the grassland. Zhao Hai didn't want to go through the Hundred Thousand Mountains this time. It was too dangerous, it wasn't suitable for Fat Cat and Zhou Qianqian.
On the other hand, the grassland was different. Although the grassland was very dangerous, at least there weren't any poisonous valleys. They just needed to hide from the tribes on the grassland. For Zhao Hai, the grassland wasn't that dangerous.
The speed of Zhao Hai's group wasn't very fast as they slowly made their way towards Yellow Wind City. Along the way, when they passed by villages, they would eat and sleep in inns. Their journey was very good.
After walking for two days, Zhao Hai and the others didn't encounter any danger. Although Zhou Qianqian had just learned how to ride a horse, because the horse wasn't very fast, she was able to persevere.
Zhao Hai and the others weren't just bored on the road. Sometimes, Zhao Hai would go into the forest on the side of the road to observe some plants or pick some seeds. Because of this, they didn't go very far in two days. According to their current speed, they wouldn't be able to reach Yellow Wind City in a month.
However, Zhao Hai wasn't in a hurry. He observed the plants every day. At the same time, he also told Fat Cat and Zhou Qianqian about his observations. The two didn't quite understand what Zhao Hai meant. The two of them were clearly beast souls. Moreover, they were cat souls that weren't very strong. Why did Zhao Hai tell them about plants?
However, the two still listened very carefully. They understood that for them, Zhao Hai was their sky. Whatever Zhao Hai told them to do, they would do it.
Zhao Hai only told them to observe and make notes. At the same time, Zhao Hai also told them to observe the various wild animals in the forest and record their habits.
On this day, the three of them spent half a day in the forest, observing a small flower. This flower looked very ordinary. It was yellow in color and was very common.
Zhao Hai observed the flower for a while. Then he turned to Fat Cat and Zhou Qianqian and said, "Did you see anything? What's the difference between this flower and the flowers on the side of the road? "
Fat Cat carefully looked at the flower. Then he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, this flower seems to be bigger than the flowers on the side of the road. However, it has a delicate feeling to it. Am I right?"
Zhao turned to look at Zhou Qianqian. Zhou Qianqian was a very gentle and quiet girl. She lived the life of an ordinary servant in the Zhou mansion, so she was able to endure hardships. In just a month, she was able to learn how to ride a horse. This was evident from her ability to learn how to ride a horse.
However, this didn't mean that she wasn't smart. With her status as a member of the Zhou Family, being able to live the life of a servant in the Zhou Mansion was an ability in itself. One must know that there were a lot of people like her in the Zhou Mansion. There were a lot of people who lived worse than servants in the Zhou Mansion. She was a girl without any backing. For her to live like a servant was already very good.
Zhou Qianqian looked at the flower and after a while, she said, "Young Master, this flower is indeed bigger than the flowers outside. However, it's more delicate. I think that in terms of disease resistance, this flower isn't as good as the flowers outside."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "You're right, the flowers on the roadside are indeed stronger than this one. This has a lot to do with the environment. The roadside environment isn't as good as the forest, but because of this, the flowers on the roadside are much stronger. In addition to the environment, there's also another very important factor, and that is sunlight." Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "You're right, the flowers on the roadside are indeed stronger than this one.
Zhao turned to look at Zhou Qianqian and Fat Cat. "The growth of all living things depends on the sun. Aside from some special plants, there are very few plants that don't need the sun to grow. The sun can provide energy to the plants, and the energy provided by the sun is also a type of natural energy. But all plants need energy. Although the living environment of the roadside flowers is not as good as the living environment of the forest, there is still plenty of sunlight, so the flowers are healthier. But because this flower grew in the forest, almost all of the sunlight is blocked by the trees, so it doesn't get any sunlight. But don't underestimate plants. After a few generations, this flower will slowly adapt to the environment here, and maybe it will mutate, becoming completely different from the roadside flowers."
Fat Cat and Zhou Qianqian were recording Zhao Hai's words. Zhao Hai looked at the two and gave the little flower some natural energy. Then he led the two out of the forest.
Outside the forest, Zhao Hai looked at the sky and said, "It's almost noon. Let's find a place to eat. Fat Cat, how long is it until the next place to eat?"
Fat Cat looked at the sky, calculated the time, then turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, in less than two hours of walking, we will reach a small town called Thunder Wood Town. According to legend, every summer, there would be thunder for no reason. Almost all of the tall trees in the town would be struck by lightning. But what's strange is that the trees struck by lightning would become even harder. The villagers would sell these trees every year, and a lot of merchants would like to use them to make furniture that is very sturdy." Fat Cat looked at the sky and calculated the time, then turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, in less than two hours, we will reach a small town called Thunder Wood Town.
When Zhao Hai heard Fat Cat, he stared for a moment, then he nodded and said, "So it's Thunderwood Town. I've heard about this place before. It's recorded in the Hu Family's botanical encyclopedia that the Hu Family had researched the trees in Thunderwood Town. In the end, they discovered that the Thunderwood Trees in Thunderwood Town contained a certain amount of iron. This was the reason why the Thunderwood Trees were often struck by lightning. According to the Hu Family's conjecture, the iron content in the soil of Thunderwood Town was higher compared to other places. After many generations of mutation, the trees here slowly transformed into Thunderwood Trees. It's precisely because of the high iron content in the Thunderwood Trees that they are so sturdy. The last time we went out, we also passed by the Thunderwood Formation, but because we were in a hurry, we didn't take a good look at the Thunderwood Trees. Now that we have the opportunity, let's go."
Fat Cat and Zhou Qianqian nodded, then they mounted their horses and followed Zhao Hai towards the direction of Thunderwood Town. The two now admired Zhao Hai to death. It seems like there was nothing that Zhao Hai didn't know. Just like Thunderwood Town, Fat Cat was prepared for this matter, so he did some research on all the villages and towns along the way. But Zhao Hai already knew about it, this was really surprising. From this point, it can be seen how wide Zhao Hai's knowledge was and how much he had read.
