At 7:38 PM, they came across an island. It was a small island, standing alone in the vast ocean. The cool moonlight shone on the island, creating a unique beauty.
Upon seeing the island, Sang Ning suggested, "How about we go up there to rest for a while, have dinner to replenish our freshwater resources, and then continue?"
"OK!"
Emmanuel and the others had no objections; at this point, everyone was genuinely hungry.
Solving physiological problems is a troublesome matter. Eating and drinking less and keeping your stomach tucked in does effectively reduce the occurrence of embarrassing situations, but the feeling of hunger will come knocking.
Therefore, upon hearing Sang Ning suggest taking a short rest, Emmanuel and Elliott immediately began rowing the raft towards the island.
Half an hour later, the four successfully landed on the island.
Fearing that the rising tide would wash the raft away, Emmanuel and his men carried the raft, which weighed over 500 pounds, directly to the island.
With the moonlight bright and no light pollution from the desolate stars, the visibility is quite high, if not as bright as day.
Therefore, the four of them split up to search for food and fresh water.
Sanning and Emmanuel formed a group, heading east along the beach, while Elliott and Louis headed west.
This is an island teeming with seabirds. Wherever Sang Ning and his companions went, flocks of birds would take flight in fright. On the beach, there were white, round objects. When they picked one up, they found it was an egg.
As for whether these were the eggs laid by these seabirds, Sang Ning and the others did not know.
The eggs were too small, so they didn't come. Instead, they put the eggs back where they were, covered them with some sand, and continued on their way.
After walking for about ten minutes, a coconut grove appeared, but neither Sanning nor Emmanuel paid attention to the coconut trees; instead, they focused on the mango trees, which were much shorter than the coconut trees.
They ate a lot of coconuts and even made coconut oil, coconut flakes, and coconut jelly. They didn't really care for coconuts, and they brought a lot of green coconuts with them on this trip.
However, mangoes were scarce in their area; they only found three mango trees, and the trees weren't bearing much fruit, nor were the mangoes of good quality.
It doesn't have much meat in it, and it's also a bit astringent.
Even ripe mangoes with soft skin taste just as astringent.
But these mango trees growing alongside the coconut trees are laden with heavy green, yellow, or half-green and half-yellow mangoes, and each mango is bigger than the last.
It was about the same size as the Keitt mangoes that Sang Ning had eaten in the original world.
I wonder if it tastes as good as the Kate mango.
Seeing these mangoes, Sang Ning was overjoyed. "Iman, shall we go pick some mangoes?"
Seeing how happy she was, Iman immediately agreed.
Then, the two ran towards the mango tree. Instead of picking any mangoes, they each picked a small, ripe mango that was already soft to the touch, peeled it, and tasted it.
The mango flesh is delicate and smooth, with a rich, sweet flavor.
After taking a bite of mango, Sang Ning frowned.
"It's too sweet, I find it a bit cloying."
Emmanuel, a secret sweet tooth, asked in surprise upon hearing the voice, "Is it very sweet?"
Sang Ning hummed in agreement and said softly, "I don't taste any sweetness. I think the flavor is just right."
"Actually, I can accept even more desserts."
Sang Ning said, "I understand. You prefer sweeter flavors. If you like them, go ahead and pick them. We can throw away the mangoes we brought."
Although the sweetness of this mango exceeded Sang Ning's expectations, the taste and texture of the flesh were more to her liking, and it was tastier than the mangoes she had brought.
The fruit I brought had too many veins and a large pit.
Now that we have better mangoes, the bad ones can naturally be replaced.
Emmanuel nodded, quickly devoured a mango, and said, "I'll pick them, and you can put them in the basket, okay?"
"Okay."
Sang Ning was well aware of her height; although these mango trees were not as tall as coconut trees, they were not short either.
Given her height, it would be difficult unless she climbed a tree or used a pole to knock it down.
Therefore, she gladly accepted Emmanuel's arrangement.
But after taking only two mangoes, she realized something was wrong and immediately called a halt.
"Don't pick overripe mangoes, they won't last long. Pick the ones with light skin that aren't soft when you squeeze them, they'll last longer."
Emmanuel, "...but these aren't ripe."
"It's not ripe yet, but it will ripen if left to rest."
Sang Ning explained, and Emmanuel suddenly understood, "I get it."
Now he only picked green mangoes, and in no time, his basket was almost full.
The main reason is that the mangoes are large; even the smallest one weighs more than a pound, while the larger ones weigh three or four pounds.
Seeing that it was almost done, Sang Ning called a halt.
"That's enough, you don't need to pick them anymore."
"There's also a basket."
Emmanuel wanted to pick more, but his gaze fell on another empty basket.
Sang Ning was both amused and exasperated. "Let's go see if there's anything else. If there is, this basket will come in handy. If not, we can come back and pick it later."
That makes sense.
Emmanuel was convinced by her, but his hands moved quickly as he picked another ripe mango, saying, "Let's go, leave this basket here for now, we'll carry it back when we come back."
"OK!"
There was no one else on the island besides them, so the two of them confidently placed the basket full of mangoes under the mango tree, and then continued walking while eating the mangoes.
As Sang Ning walked, she saw banana trees, banana trees laden with bananas, bunches of half-green and half-yellow bananas particularly eye-catching.
Before Sang Ning could speak, Emmanuel grabbed her as if she'd seen a ghost and pulled her away from the banana trees, saying, "Don't go near the bunches of fruit, it'll bring bad luck."
Yes, the skewers of fruit are both terrifying and horrifying.
【(⊙o⊙)…Um, why are the fruit skewers I'm eating so delicious?】
[Delicious? Are you sure, upstairs? I ate some fruit skewers and my mouth felt like it was on fire; it was so black it took me days to wash it off.]
Can I say that after eating skewers of fruit, my mood improved and I successfully overcame the shadow of my breakup?
[Haha, I guess I was the unluckiest one. After eating the skewers of fruit, I slept for a whole day and night. I was so dazed from the sleep that it took two days for my brain to return to normal. My mom even thought I had suffered a severe head injury and was arguing about taking me to a brain research center for a checkup.]
The viewers in the live stream were having a heated discussion about the "skewered fruit," while Sang Ning looked completely bewildered and said, "What 'skewered fruit'? This is a banana."
"banana?"
Emmanuel paused, turned to look at Sang Ning in shock, and asked, "You know about Chuan Chuan Guo?"
"What exactly is there that you don't recognize?"
