Fresh bamboo has bamboo sap, but the bamboo trees in front of us are almost dried up and dying. Even if there was bamboo sap before, it's all dried up by now.
Didn't you see that Yuan Chun is pretending to support the bamboo with one hand? All of this water was released from her space. She wants the Geng family to have water, so she came up with this trick to fool them.
Luckily, the five children are easy to deceive, and Geng Dalin and Sun Chunfeng are also rural folks without much experience, so Yuan Chun's casual trick actually convinced them.
Yuan Chun chopped down two bamboo trees in a row, filling the large wooden barrel.
Then, she moved on to the third bamboo. This time, no water came out, but a bamboo rat ran out. Yuan Chun swiftly reached out and caught the bamboo rat.
"Xiao Wu's wife, bring a basket."
"Mom, is this... a baby mouse?"
"This is called a bamboo rat, and it's edible."
