"My God, there's actually an island here!"

After nearly two months at sea, the three finally set foot on land for the first time.

The wind chimes ran happily around on the beach, as joyful as a little bird.

Lin's mother also embraced the earth tenderly, burying her face deeply in the sand.

Lin Xue then pulled the raft a little closer to the beach and tied it to a sturdy rock with a rope.

"Let's head towards the island; maybe we can find some food there!"

After running around like crazy for a while, Fengling finally ran up to Lin Xue, grabbed her hand, and tried to walk towards the island.

"What if the raft drifts away after we all leave?"

"Or what if other survivors come? With so many supplies, wouldn't they be able to take them away at will?"

Hearing Lin Xue say this, Feng Ling, who was originally excited to rush into the woods, suddenly stopped.

"You two go ahead, I'll stay here and watch the bamboo raft!"

Lin's mother looked at the two girls and finally decided to stay behind to guard the supplies.

The supply crates are becoming increasingly scarce, and if they lose their bamboo raft, they'll likely have a hard time surviving the winter.

"Let's go together. I'm worried about leaving you here alone!"

Lin Xue glanced at their bamboo raft, then at the two women beside her.

"What about our bamboo raft?"

Upon hearing Lin Xue's words, Lin's mother immediately ran to the bamboo raft and plopped down on it. She couldn't let her daughter have her way; these supplies were too important to them.

"Have you forgotten we also have a storage bracelet? We can just put the bamboo raft into the bracelet!"

As Lin Xue spoke, she pulled Feng Ling's hand over; she was wearing a small bracelet on her wrist.

Because the bracelet was originally obtained from the wind chime, Lin Xue gave it to the other party.

Since this thing has appeared once, it will definitely appear a second time.

Lin Xue decided that when she retrieved storage equipment again, she would prepare a set for her mother as well.

"Oh dear, how could I have forgotten?"

It wasn't until Lin Xue grabbed her hand that Feng Ling realized she had such a powerful treasure.

"Wind Chime, you actually have such a magical artifact! I'm so envious!"

When Lin's mother heard that the small and exquisite bracelet on Fengling's wrist was actually a storage artifact, her envious gaze lingered on Fengling for a long time.

"Mom, don't be envious. Next time we get storage equipment, I'll give it to you first!"

Lin Xue then went over and took her mother's arm, leading her towards the island.

"Wind Chime, quickly pack up the bamboo raft, let's go check out the island!"

After taking a couple of steps, Lin Xue turned back to call out to Feng Ling, urging her to hurry up.

"Here you are..."

The island isn't very big; it took us a little over three hours to explore the whole island.

Although the island is not large, it has a number of trees growing on it.

Besides flowers, plants, and trees, there are also some small animals living on this island.

"Aunt Lin, Sister Xiaoxue! Look, isn't that a supply box down there?"

It wasn't until the three of them reached the other side of the island that Fengling was the first to spot the supply crates on the beach.

"No wonder we haven't found a single wooden crate these past few days; it turns out they were all blocked here by this little island!"

The island is crescent-shaped, with a curved section that blocks most of the boxes that were floating in front of it from entering the bay.

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and go down and retrieve the supply crates!"

"With so many boxes, we should be able to get a lot of good stuff from them."

"Hurry up, you two girls, what are you standing there for? Let's go!"

Although Fengling was the first to discover the supply box below, it was Lin's mother who was the first to react.

She took off running downhill, stretching out her arms to embrace the supply crates in the large bay.

"Let's hurry up and leave. These boxes should be enough for us to spend the winter on the island!"

After inspecting the entire island, Lin Xue decided that the three of them would spend the winter on the island.

In particular, there is a very flat slope on Crescent Bay, which is perfect for building houses.

Although she had discovered that the island had been submerged before, she understood that the sea level would not rise to a point where it could submerge the island during the cold season.

Winter is coming, and after it snows, the entire sea surface may freeze over.

How could there be any talk of seawater submerging small islands?

"Hahaha……"

"Wind Chime, quickly get our hooks out, I'll hook all these supply boxes up!"

"Xiaoxue, take the awning boat out to sea and retrieve the supply boxes. Don't let them be blown away!"

Seeing her mother, who was already busy with herself, also frantically looking after the two girls, Lin Xue reluctantly joined in the work.

Given the shape of this bay, those supply crates couldn't possibly have escaped. It's a wonder these two women were so nervous!

They hadn't managed to retrieve all the supply boxes by nightfall, and finally, Lin's mother couldn't hold on any longer and called for a halt.

"There's too much, far too much! It seems we won't be able to finish today. Everyone, take a rest. Fengling, bring out our little cabin. We'll spend the night here!"

"I'll go cook for you two. You two open the supply crates we retrieved!"

Because there were too many supply boxes, they were piled up haphazardly together.

Lin's mother knew that Fengling and Lin Xue loved opening boxes, so she figured this time she could let them open as many as they wanted.
