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...
"This...how come it's gone!?" Qin Da rubbed his eyes and confirmed again and again, and found that the island where he had just been was really gone!
Qin Da was completely shocked. He looked up at the bright sun above his head and broke out in a cold sweat!
"Uncle Qin, don't worry, our things are still there!" Xu Ning was also surprised. The Xu An brothers and Xu Yuan knew about the existence of "immortals" and were also secretly surprised.
The four members of the Xu family looked at each other, and soon their expressions returned to normal.
"That's right, Uncle Qin, maybe we have really arrived at the place where the gods live!" Xu Feng cleverly comforted Uncle Qin while pressing down the crab that was still struggling under his feet.
Although Qin Da felt it was embarrassing that Xu Feng, a child, was calmer than him, he still felt uneasy after returning.
He felt that he must have displeased the Sea God, and this was the Sea God punishing him!
Now Qin Da stopped selling seafood and went straight home to kneel down in the direction of the sea, making a convincing argument.
When Xu Ning brought Old Lady Xu to Qin's house, he saw Qin Da lying on the ground, trembling and kowtowing.
"Xiao Qin, what are you doing?!" Old Mrs. Xu asked, pretending to be unaware of the situation. Qin Dazhan got up from the ground tremblingly, pulled Old Mrs. Xu aside and told her what happened in a low voice.
"Xiao Qin, you must have made a mistake. That's a floating island!"
"What floating island?"
"You didn't know this!" Old Mrs. Xu was quite proud when talking about this, because she didn't know this before.
This floating island was the first time she had heard of it before she came to the Qin family.
A floating island, as the name suggests, is an island floating on the sea.
"This small island floating on the sea, there are floating stones under the ground. These stones look like stones, but they are not ordinary stones. They are as light as cotton in the hand. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't be able to explain it." What Old Mrs. Xu saw was the video information that Xu Ning searched on his tablet.
"But Auntie, how can this island float?" Qin Da still didn't fully believe it. After all, the island was called an island, but it was still a huge monster to humans, and it was also a dead object. How could it run away?
It has no legs.
"Why can't the island float? Xiao Qin, you haven't seen much of the world. The ground beneath our feet is also floating!"
"What?" Old Lady Xu, realizing she'd digressed, quickly pulled the conversation back and explained, "Anyway, don't worry. That island isn't where immortals live. It's just an ordinary island. If that's where immortals live, how could they let you take all the seafood and fruit?"
"That seems to make sense."
"Of course I am. Uncle Qin, don't you find it strange? How come you only discovered that island recently after all these years?"
Qin Da thought about it carefully and found that the island really seemed to have appeared suddenly.
"Because the island was just passing by! Doesn't this prove that Uncle Qin has good character? Otherwise, how could Uncle Qin have discovered it? Grandma, I think the things found on this island might be a reward from the gods to Uncle Qin!"
"What are you talking about, little girl? Can gods speak nonsense?"
"Qin Da, don't pay attention to her. It's just an island passing by. Just think of it as bringing you food." Old Lady Xu's tone sounded like an old man passing by the island. Qin Da was silent for a moment.
"Well, Qin Da, are you going to sell this seafood in the county? Or, if you're really worried, just sell it to Auntie. She'll pay double the price for it!"
"That won't do!" Qin Da immediately refused. Without a word, he picked up the bucket of seafood and handed it to Old Lady Xu. "Auntie, if you want it, take it all! Why are you talking about giving me silver? That's too awkward!"
"This..." Old Mrs. Xu looked to Xu Ning for help. Xu Ning rummaged through his body and took out a silver bracelet, which he stuffed into the wrist of Qin's wife.
