After returning home, Mr. Jiao found an excuse to rest and took the opportunity to examine the items his cat son had unearthed in the room. When he had first received them, he hadn't been sure what they were, or if they were of any value, but past experiences had taught him that the cat had its reasons for whatever it did; hence, just to be safe, he cautiously hid the items away and only now had time to look at them.
He carefully moved aside the vines to reveal the amber inside.
He peeled the vines off and set them aside without discarding them. He had found these plants in a botany book, and they indeed were from the mountains. Mr. Jiao could confirm his cat son had truly been to the mountains, though he didn't know what unusual experiences it might have had there.
