The conditions outside the second cave were similar to the first, with a significant difference in temperature between the interior and exterior.

Outside it was like an oven, but inside it felt as if the air conditioning was on.

However, there was something different about the coolness here; the air inside the cave was laden with moisture.

This sensation of air carrying water was very pronounced.

Not only could one feel it in the air breathed, but it was also apparent from the damp rock walls.

“It looks like this cave won’t disappoint us too much.”

Chen Yang felt somewhat excited and was also filled with anticipation.

If there was ample moisture in the air, it suggested a strong possibility of a water source in this cave.

With a water source, there was a good chance that pools could form.

Chen Yang was hopeful, and so was Yang Ruoxi.

Bathed in the coolness of the air, her mood was exceptionally good.

“I hope there is one; otherwise, we’ve wasted our efforts.”

Yang Ruoxi pursed her lips, her heart also brimming with expectation.

With hopeful hearts, they continued to move further inside.

Chen Yang was not familiar with this cave and could only navigate by instinct.

Caves in the mountains are usually winding and uneven, with many branches.

In such a situation where nothing is known about the inside of a cave, it’s quite challenging and complicated to explore every branch thoroughly.

But this was not a problem for Chen Yang.

As a doctor, Chen Yang had a very keen sense of smell and environmental awareness.

While he couldn’t directly survey the surrounding environment, he could gauge the moisture content in the air to determine which path to take.

If there was more moisture in the air, it indicated the presence of water along that route.

Chen Yang followed his instincts, leading Yang Ruoxi onwards.

Before long, they indeed found a water flow.

However, this kind of flow was like a small stream and not consistently wide.

Although the water in sight was not quite what Chen Yang and Ruoxi had expected, it still filled them with hope.

“Let’s keep going forward; since there’s water, there’s bound to be a pool.”

Chen Yang declared confidently.

“Mm-hmm.”

Yang Ruoxi did not understand much about these matters.

So naturally, she followed Chen Yang’s lead.

Chen Yang followed the stream deeper inside the cave.

After about five minutes, they indeed found a reasonably large water pool upstream of the small stream.

Chen Yang and Yang Ruoxi stood on the bank and observed from a distance with their flashlights for a while.

They noticed that the water in the pool was also exceptionally clear.

And like with Old Wang’s place, because it was running water, there was almost no mud at the bottom, only round pebbles.

“Wow!

This environment is almost like the one at the peddler’s place!”

After observing for a bit, Yang Ruoxi exclaimed in admiration.

Chen Yang nodded excitedly, “Indeed it is, but with fewer aquatic plants.”

The pool before Chen Yang, in terms of size and water quality, was almost identical to the one at Old Wang’s place.

The only difference was that this pool had very few aquatic plants.

It didn’t seem as vibrant as his place.

“No aquatic plants, what do we do?

Can we still use this place?”

Yang Ruoxi was a bit worried.

“Whether it can be used or not, we’ll only know after we try.”

Chen Yang couldn’t be sure and suggested an experiment.

After finding this spot, Chen Yang didn’t delay and immediately led Yang Ruoxi out of the cave.

On the way back, Chen Yang silently memorized the route to avoid getting lost next time.

By the time they emerged from the cave, it was already close to one o’clock.

By the time they got back to the clinic, it was one-thirty.

Both of their stomachs were growling with hunger.

As soon as Chen Yang put down his backpack, the first thing he did was to go to the kitchen to cook.

He prepared a delicious meal to celebrate finding a water pool in the mountains at noon.

Yang Ruoxi had a hearty meal with Chen Yang, both were delighted.

While Chen Yang was cleaning up the dishes, Wu Kexin came over again.

“Chen Yang, why are you at home?

Aren’t you supposed to be up in the mountains looking for a place to farm those dragon shrimp?”

Wu Kexin was very surprised.

Chen Yang saw that Wu Kexin was also surprised to come over in the morning, and wondered why she had come again at noon.

“We’ve already come down from the mountain,”

Chen Yang said.

“Oh, I see, did you guys find anything?

Did you find a suitable place?”

Wu Kexin nodded, then followed up with a question.

With a natural look on his face, Chen Yang replied, “We found one.”

Upon hearing that they had found one, surprise showed on Wu Kexin’s face again.

“That quickly?”

“Yes, Kexin, Chen Yang and I found two caves, and then we discovered a pool with very good water quality, although it’s a bit short on aquatic plants and doesn’t seem to have much vitality.”

Yang Ruoxi excitedly stood up to speak.

Seeing that they had indeed found a place, Wu Kexin couldn’t help feeling happy for Chen Yang.

“That’s really great, I didn’t expect things to progress so fast.”

Wu Kexin was happy for Chen Yang for a moment, then couldn’t help but ask, “What about the lack of aquatic plants?

Is there any way to improve that?”

As he stayed busy, Chen Yang answered, “Aquatic plants shouldn’t be a problem, and even if they are, we can always buy some seedlings and plant them.”

Hearing that it wasn’t a big problem, Wu Kexin completely relaxed.

“Alright then, you guys just go ahead with it.

Remember to let me know when you succeed; I’d love to come over and enjoy some dragon shrimp,”

Wu Kexin joked with a smile.

“Sure thing, Kexin!

Chen Yang promised me that if it really works out, I’ll be the first to enjoy dragon shrimp freedom.

When that time comes, you can join me in eating him out of house and home!”

Yang Ruoxi, excited, hooked Wu Kexin’s arm, laughing and teasing.

A smile appeared on Chen Yang’s face, “Okay, then I’ll wait to go broke from your feasting.”

Afterward, the three of them made light-hearted jokes at home.

As it got late outside, Wu Kexin stood up to leave.

There was still work with the seedlings in the village that needed her help.

Upon hearing there was more to be done, Chen Yang asked Yang Ruoxi to go help out, as he would be away in the afternoon to make a trip to the county town.

Seeing that Chen Yang was busy, Yang Ruoxi immediately nodded in agreement.

“Okay, then I’ll go and help out at Kexin’s place!”

After the three of them had made their decisions, Yang Ruoxi left with Wu Kexin.

Watching them go, Chen Yang then locked up all the doors in the house.

Next, he went to the backyard to push out the electric tricycle and rode off to the county town.

“Now that we have found the place, there’s no time to waste.

Let’s buy some shrimp seedlings to test the waters first.

If it works out, we’ll go big time!”

As he rode, Chen Yang was planning in his mind.

In the morning, Chen Yang was worried about not being able to find a pool with a similar environment, and so he was also a bit anxious about not being able to cultivate that type of shrimp within a week.

But having found the pool so quickly, Chen Yang’s confidence soared.

He now felt very confident that he could cultivate that kind of crayfish within one week!

To make money and play the hero to save the beauty at the same time!

He might even end up with a wife for nothing.

The thought of getting a wife as a bonus to doing business made Chen Yang somewhat gleeful inside.

Even though he wasn’t the type to take advantage of someone’s plight.

He wouldn’t use the shrimp to force little Cui to really marry him, but the thought of saving little Cui, that flower, from being planted on Wang Lao Si’s pile of cow dung made Chen Yang very pleased.

“I guess I’m considered a righteous youth, huh?”

Chen Yang said somewhat narcissistically to himself, and then he rode into the county’s farmers’ market.
