One year brought a great drought, the next year floods, and then, in a blink, a plague.
The Xu family fled from the north to the south, and then from the south back to the north.
Before...
The boat swayed forward, and after an incense stick of time, the five people saw a small island appear before their eyes.
The sun has risen a lot higher, and the sunlight is reflected onto the island. From a distance, the whole island is emitting colorful light, which is very beautiful.
"Second sister, it's so beautiful there! Is this where immortals live?" Xu Feng was stunned, and Xu An and Qin Da also looked stunned.
Xu Ning and Xu Yuan looked at each other. They had both seen this kind of light refraction before, but they had to admit that the gorgeous appearance of this island was really charming.
"Whether there are immortals or not, we will know if we go to the island and take a look." Xu Ning replied to Xu Feng with a smile. Qin Da reacted and stopped the boat at a familiar location, then jumped into the sea and helped Xu Ning and the others down.
The tide of the island had not yet receded completely. Xu Ning jumped into the sea and soon got wet below his thighs.
However, the south is hot and humid, so they don't worry about catching a cold, because the sea breeze will dry their clothes in no time.
After getting off the boat, several people walked towards the shore carrying their belongings. Qin Da led the way while introducing them: "Miss Xu, Master Xu, the tide hasn't receded yet. We can go up the mountain. There are many fruits on the mountain. There is a kind of black fruit that is hard, but the shell is white. If the outside is soft when you pinch it, it is ripe and ready to eat."
Xu Ning thought the fruit looked a lot like mangosteen, and when she got there she exclaimed, "Wow! It really is mangosteen! And it's so huge!"
In addition to mangosteen, there is also a field of half-ripe wild grapes.
"Is this grape?" Xu Yuan had seen and eaten grapes before, so he recognized them at first sight.
Xu Ning was very excited. He ran to a high place and looked around. He soon found a place with more sunlight. The grapes were ripe, and bunches of purple grapes were swaying in the sun.
"Aunt Yuan, Dabao and Xiaobao, come here, the grapes here are ripe." As for mangosteen, it takes time to ripen, so there is no need to rush.
"So they're called grapes. When I came here last time, they were still green and very sour. I didn't think they were tasty. I didn't expect them to be purple when ripe. They're sour and sweet, and they look good and taste good!"
"Uncle Qin, these grapes can be eaten as fruit and used to make wine!"
"Winemaking?"
"Yes, this wine is a good thing. Not only is it delicious, but it can also beautify your skin."
"But how do you make this wine?"
"Hehe, I don't know about that either. Uncle Qin, if you think it's feasible, you can try digging up a few grapes and planting them back home. You can study it slowly. It won't hurt you anyway."
"That's true!"
Xu Yuan had been quietly listening to Xu Ning fooling Qin Da. Xu An and Xu Feng were eating grapes in confusion and had no idea what Xu Ning's intention was.
"Uncle Qin, are these the only two kinds of fruits here? Are there any other fruits to eat?" Xu Ning remembered that Uncle Qin said that there were colorful fruits on the island, but now he only saw two kinds. There should be more!
"Hey, look at my brain! And more, I'll take you there right now!" After Qin Da finished speaking, he didn't think about growing grapes and making wine. He took the four people from the Xu family and walked in another direction. Then Xu Ning discovered several orange trees and banana trees.
Banana trees are very common in Xianyu Village, nothing surprising. There are also orange trees, but Xu Ning has always accepted all of them. The group picked a lot of ripe bananas and oranges and continued to move forward. Soon they found two pear trees!
They are not the white kind of pears, but the kind with brown skin. They are not big, but the whole tree is full of them, and the branches are bent with weight.
Xu Ning and his friends picked a lot of big ones. Xu Ning even secretly hid some of them in his space, thinking that there were no more fruits. But Qin Da took them to the other side of the island, which really shocked Xu Ning!
