Back at home, Lan Tian headed straight to the vegetable patch in the backyard, planting the Gathering Spirit Grass near her window so that she could see it whenever she opened the window. After planting, she also took the opportunity to pull out all the weeds around, clearing a space for the Gathering Spirit Grass. Lan Tian looked left and right, feeling a bit uneasy.
The weeds near the edge of the vegetable patch were all pulled out by Lan Tian. Her Gathering Spirit Grass, planted amidst other plants, somewhat stood out like a crane among chickens. She worried that one day, her aunt or grandma might weed the patch and accidentally pull out her Gathering Spirit Grass. Lan Tian would have nowhere to cry. She needed to think of a solution.
"Old Five, what's up with the girl? As soon as she came back, she rushed to the backyard," Grandma Sun asked Mo Yuanle, who came in after her. The two of them had gone out together, and Mo Yuanle would know if something was up with the girl.
