Originally, Ye Zhizhi was just exaggerating to scare him. She did not expect to receive such an answer. Her heart suddenly felt like it was being scratched by an invisible hand. She felt itchy as she looked at the handsome man in front of her. For the first time, she felt like she was relying on someone else. It seemed that this man would always be good to her and would never abandon her no matter what.

“Planting is very troublesome. I can’t explain it in just a few words.” Ye Zhizhi changed the topic. “Moreover, it’s not planting season right now. We need to find the seeds first.” At this point, she hurriedly asked Rong Zhan, “Is there a spike-like plant here? It sprouts in winter, ripens in spring, and turns golden in summer. Then, its seeds will fall.”

She was talking about wheat. She didn’t know if there was any in this world, but wild oats were similar to what she described. If she found oats, she could plant and cultivate them.

Rong Zhan thought for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He nodded and said, “Although I don’t know what you are talking about, there are some things in the back mountain. See if they are what you want!”

As Rong Zhan said that, he took her hand and went to the back of the mountain. The distance was not too far, and the two of them arrived in a short while. Ye Zhizhi walked up and took a look. There were some chilies and wild onions, as well as some garlic. She jogged up happily. She was so overwhelmed by what she saw. Indeed, she found oats and many wild vegetables inside. This place was simply a treasure land!

She could not help but chuckle. It was really a piece of cake! Rong Zhan looked at her happy expression and was also delighted. He hurriedly went forward and said, “So, this is really what you want. I thought it was some rare thing. This hill doesn’t grow much. The mountain on the other side of the stream has very good growth. Moreover, it’s much bigger. I’ll pick some for you some other day!”

“Okay.” Ye Zhizhi nodded in agreement. Then, she thought of an even more important matter. “However, for now, let’s do something useful first.” As she spoke, Ye Zhizhi looked around for a moment. She took back a few stones and handed them to Rong Zhan. Then, she used the tree branch to draw a pattern on the ground and asked with anticipation, “Can you make this stone into this shape?”

Rong Zhan looked at it carefully and did not say anything. He only lowered his head and took a slightly sharp stone and began to smash it silently. Ye Zhizhi knew that he was trying, so she said, “It looks like it takes a lot of effort. Let’s take it back to the cave to do it. Now, let’s do something else first.” As Ye Zhizhi spoke, she returned to the side of the stream with Rong Zhan. She reached out her hand and wanted to dig some soft mud beside the stream.

“What are you doing?” Rong Zhan stopped her. “You don’t have to do it. Let me know if you want anything. I’ll help you.”

These words undoubtedly warmed Ye Zhizhi’s heart even more. So, she went with Rong Zhan to find a few large banana leaves. Then, she asked Rong Zhan to put the yellow mud on the banana leaves and carry it back to the cave.

Rong Zhan began to smash the stones according to her request, creating stone axes and stone knives. Ye Zhizhi then arranged the crushed stones in a corner into the shape of a stove. Then, she began to mix the yellow soil and yellow mud that she had brought back from the outside together to make a dry and wet soil embryo. This was her first time trying to make a clay pot. Her technique was very clumsy. Not only was the pot made crooked, but several of them were also broken. She had no choice but to mix them into the yellow mud and do it again. After a while, her face was rubbed dirty like a kitten.

Rong Zhan looked at her from the side. Although he did not know what she was going to do, he felt extremely comfortable and healed. Ye Zhizhi’s black hair hung in front of her eyes. When she reached out her hand, she forgot that there was mud on her hand and wiped her face in an instant.

“Pfft” Rong Zhan could not help but laugh. Ye Zhizhi glared at him and deliberately raised her hands to wipe his face. “Now we’re even. No one should laugh at each other.”

The two of them looked at each other. Rong Zhan’s heart warmed at the sight of her bright and beautiful smile, and his eyes gradually darkened. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by deep affection. Ye Zhizhi sensed the change in the magnetic field between the two of them, but she did not move.

Therefore, Rong Zhan leaned forward and kissed her gently…
