The tsunami had a wide range of impact, and almost all of China's coastal areas were affected.
The tsunami lasted for about twenty hours, and even longer in the worst-hit areas.
From the capsule house's perspective, from the initial dozens of meters high waves rushing in from all directions to now when the waves have temporarily stopped, wherever Su Keke's sight goes is the vast ocean.
Almost all the familiar buildings from the past were destroyed in the tsunami.
The capsule house flew slowly in the sky for a day and a night, and finally found a sunny place for Su Keke at noon the next day.
This place is very small, so small that it is not even clearly marked on the map of China.
Su Keke took a look at the name given to the capsule house, which was called "Divine Flower Valley".
"Grandma Qiao! Have you heard of this place called Shenhua Valley?"
Su Keke was holding a can of cashews in her arms, eating them one by one with a crunch. She slowly walked to the kitchen and asked Grandma Qiao.
"Shenhua Valley?" Grandma Qiao frowned and thought for a long time, "Why does this name sound like a place name in a martial arts novel?"
"Oh! My dish!" While Grandma Qiao was distracted, the ribs in the pot were almost burnt.
She quickly added some clean water into it, and when the cold water collided with the bottom of the pot, a series of sizzling sounds came from the iron pot.
Then, a wisp of white smoke slowly emerged from the pot.
Su Keke smelled the aroma of braised pork ribs!
"Oh! I won't tell you now, otherwise our lunch will smell burnt, and we will definitely dislike even the glutinous rice balls."
"I've never heard of this Divine Flower Valley!"
Grandma Qiao smiled and waved at Su Keke, meaning that she would cook first.
"Then you go ahead and I'll go out and do some research. It seems that there haven't been any natural disasters in this place yet. We can discuss it over dinner."
After Su Keke finished speaking, she quickly grabbed a few cashews from the jar and stuffed them into Grandma Qiao’s mouth.
"You kid! Hmm! Why are these cashews so sweet? Is this added with honey?"
It was the first time for Grandma Qiao to eat cashews with honey. She felt that the sugar content was too high and she couldn't eat too much.
"You need to eat less cocoa. Eating too much of this processed cashew nut will not only make you fat, but it's also unhealthy!"
Grandma Qiao was muttering to herself as she turned off the heat for the braised pork ribs in the pot.
Before serving, she added a little bit of MSG and stir-fried the fish on both sides. Grandma Qiao picked up a piece with chopsticks and tasted it. "Hmm! It tastes good!"
She had just taken a bite of the braised pork ribs when Tangyuan came running over from the living room like a rocket. It jumped onto the stove in two steps, tilted its neck and meowed at Grandma Qiao.
"Come on! Let our little glutinous rice balls have a piece first!"
Grandma Qiao took the ceramic bowl containing the glutinous rice balls and immediately picked up four large pieces of pork ribs.
The fragrant spare ribs in the ceramic bowl made Tangyuan drool.
"Hmmmm..."
Grandma Qiao had just put the bowl on the ground when Tangyuan jumped off the stove and buried its head in the bowl. It took big bites of the pork ribs and made happy chewing sounds.
Su Keke used the capsule house system to check the information of this "Divine Flower Valley".
The result was only a few sentences.
The general meaning is that this Shenhua Valley has existed for more than two thousand years, and the people in it have lived in this valley from generation to generation. They farm their own crops and lead a primitive life that is at peace with the world.
It is said that there is a magical flower in this valley that blooms all year round. If someone in the valley is sick, they can pick a petal and swallow it, and the condition will miraculously improve.
In order to prevent the magical flower from being discovered by the outside world, the people in this valley were very xenophobic and had basically no contact with the outside world in the past.
It was not until the past decade or so that the valley gradually established contact with the outside world.
…
During the meal, Su Keke told Grandma Qiao the basic situation of the Shenhua Valley, and Grandma Qiao said she could go down and take a look.
As for whether to stay and live for a while, it depends on whether the local residents welcome them.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Su Keke landed the capsule house in an uninhabited forest.
She and Grandma Qiao both changed into casual sportswear, each carrying a small backpack on their shoulders, and looked like they were out hiking.
Su Keke put the glutinous rice balls in the space first. I wonder what the customs of this ancient and mysterious Shenhua Valley are like? Are they tough or not?
It would be bad if someone wanted to take the dumplings.
After all, it's the end of the world, and it would be very enviable if they still keep pets.
Grandma Qiao took out the tanning foundation that she had kept at the bottom of her box, and they both put some on each other's faces.
After leaving this deserted forest, you still have to walk along a winding mountain road.
The surrounding area is covered with lush trees and vegetation, and the air is particularly fresh.
The afternoon sun shone warmly on the two of them. Su Keke and Grandma Qiao picked wild flowers, hummed tunes, talked and laughed along the way, and had a lot of fun.
They didn't know how long they had been walking. At the end of the mountain road, there was a bamboo forest. The sound of gurgling water could be heard in the forest.
"Hey! Have you heard? The daughter of the Valley Master who has been away for more than ten years is back."
"I heard about it early this morning. He brought a man and a child. He said there were natural disasters everywhere outside, and he wanted to stay in our valley for a while."
"These people, tsk tsk tsk! Don't they despise the poverty in the valley? Now that they can't make it out there, they shamelessly come back."
"I heard that it's not just the Valley Master's daughter. A few years ago, several other families moved out. At that time, they said that everything was fine out there. But in the past few days, they have all moved back."
"I think they shouldn't be allowed to move back here. What the hell!"
There is a small stream opposite the bamboo forest. The water is clear and you can see the bottom. From time to time, there are some small fish swimming in the water.
Several women in dark blue coarse cloth clothes were squatting by the stream washing clothes.
Su Keke and Grandma Qiao happened to overhear some gossip when they were walking through the bamboo forest.
"Hey! Where are you two from? We haven't had outsiders come to our valley for a long time?"
One of the sharp-eyed women stood up immediately when she saw the two strangers.
Her face looked gloomy and she pointed at Su Keke and Grandma Qiao with the clothes stick in her hand and asked.
"Hello, ladies! We are here for a hike! We saw that the scenery here is so beautiful, so we came up to take a look. I hope we didn't disturb you from washing clothes!"
Su Keke quickly took out several pieces of chocolate from her backpack and distributed some to each of the aunts.
"Wow! Your candy is really good. My grandson will definitely love it."
"Yes, yes, yes! The child that the Valley Master's daughter brought over this morning had this candy in his hand. My little son was so greedy for it at that time."
The aunts looked at the chocolates in their hands and put them in their pockets without being polite to Su Keke.
In addition, Su Keke was so sweet-spoken and called her "Auntie" all the time, so they let go of most of their original wariness towards outsiders.
"So are you going into the valley?" asked one of the women.
