Chapter 301
In the underground palace, sunlight was undoubtedly the most precious luxury! Seeing sunlight was even more exciting than seeing food, wine, and water.
The bright light shone on the garden, casting about twenty square meters on the ground. Half of it shone on the top of the pond, and the other half shone on the air beside the pond.

In other words, during the precious six hours of sunlight that could be cast in here, the distance was not very big, but it formed this small but prosperous ecosystem.
Because of this precious sunlight, the pond grew luxuriant aquatic plants and algae, providing sufficient food for the fish, shrimp, and shellfish in the pond, as well as the aquatic birds.
Above the pond was the vegetable garden, but the vegetables had long been covered by wild grass. But even if no one took care of the vegetable garden, the wild grass could not be overgrown, because there were not only poultry, but also herbivorous livestock such as sheep and rabbits.
These livestock were free gardeners. They helped their owners clean up the weeds, and of course, the vegetables would also be gnawed away.
The only drawback was that there were no vegetables here, but there were all kinds of fungi in the bamboo forest that could replace vegetables. There was also one of the most important vegetables, it was also the only vegetable that this garden could provide all year round — bamboo shoots!
Bamboo shoots were the roots of bamboos. Most people could only harvest the bamboo shoots that grew out of the ground, but the bamboo shoots on the ground were either too old to eat, or had been gnawed away by domestic animals.
However, as long as the soil was peeled off, countless fresh and tender bamboo shoots were buried under the bamboo forest. With such a large bamboo forest, there was no fear of running out of stock.
He Yi had already taken off her shoes and entered the pond. Although the outside of the palace was much colder than the inside of the underground palace, the pond was filled with steam. It was obviously a natural hot spring pool.
As expected, the temperature of the pond was close to that of the human body. It was very suitable.
Gentle also took off her shoes and rolled up her pants legs. The two of them drove away the fish and prawns on the shallows of the pool.
This pool undoubtedly had an abundance of aquatic products, especially the fat grass carp. It was so fat that it was black and shiny.
Soon, with He Yi’s help, gentle caught a grass carp. Then, the two of them fished out some river fresh.
After they went ashore, he yi wiped her feet and gently helped her put on her shoes.
“No Need!”He Yi quickly refused. She curled up her jade-like feet and refused to give in.
“It’s cold up there. Be careful not to catch a cold!”Wen Wen insisted on helping her put on her shoes.
He Yi could not refuse, so she had no choice but to comply.
After putting on her shoes, Wen Wen took her to catch chickens and ducks.
“These domestic animals look quite cute!”He Yi was not a vegetarian, but it was still a little difficult for her to kill. “Anyway, there are already fish and river fresh, we don’t want to eat meat! Oh right, the meat left in the morning can be warmed up!”
Gentle listened to her advice and let go of the chicken and duck she caught. Then, she plucked a blade of grass and fed it to the rabbit with her.
This was a little gray rabbit that was unfortunately caught, but it was also lucky. Because it met he yi, it was pardoned to satisfy the appetite of others.
“Actually, the royal family keeps white rabbits that are specially used for enjoyment. This kind of rabbit is specially for eating, it’s not beautiful!”Gentle saw that he yi liked small animals, so he explained it to her.
“I think it’s very cute even though it’s not beautiful!”He Yi touched its little head, then let it go. She pushed its round body and said, “Let’s go home!”
After letting the rabbit go, he Yi also saw a male goat defending its territory.
The horned goat was probably the most threatening animal in the garden. It lowered its head and used its sharp horns to deal with the intruders.
The goat’s attack was easily neutralized. He grabbed the goat’s horn and asked he yi, “Do you want to make mutton soup?”
“Didn’t you kill a goat this morning?”He Yi reminded him. “A goat can’t finish a meal, right?”
“I just blame it for being unfriendly!”Gently expressed his dissatisfaction. “It actually dared to use its horn to push you!”
This was something that gentle could not forgive. Therefore, he wanted to kill it to make soup.
“Don’t be calculative! After all, this is someone else’s garden. There has to be a first come, first served basis for everything!”He Yi walked over, she also patted the goat’s head, but this goat was not as docile as a rabbit. It angrily dug its hooves again.
“There’s a rope in the bag. Take it out!”Gently instructed.
“No!”He Yi still could not bear it.
“I’m not killing it. I’m just tying it up!”Gently and slowly said, “Tie it up and raise it. Whenever you want to drink mutton soup, kill it!”
