Seeing that she wasn't saying anything, I knew it was inconvenient, so I didn't ask any more questions. Instead, I looked into the distance. However, the place we had just entered was still some distance from the island, and we would need to take a cruise ship to get there.
"Are we already inside?" Yang Yahan asked.
Before they came in, there was nothing in the distance except the quiet sea, but now, they can see a bit of the mountainside.
“Yes, sister-in-law, we’re already in. If we drive a little further, we’ll be able to see the island more clearly. Last time we came, we were so engrossed in our activities that we didn’t notice the yacht drifting in,” An Shuyi explained.
"Are you guys feeling hot? It was hot just now, but not as hot as it is now. It's at least around 30 degrees Celsius."
Xia Hua looked up at the sky. "It's only a little past ten in the morning, and it's already this hot. It seems the weather here is ten times hotter. We came in at the wrong time."
But going out now is not an option either. After all, they came in to extract the components from the plants, and they cannot leave until they have extracted them.
An Shuheng said, "There's nothing we can do if the timing isn't right. After all, we can't stay away from the blue light. It's May now, so keep an eye on the sea. If the blue light appears and we can't stand the heat, then we'll leave."
"It's still early. Let's go straight to the island, take our rations and weapons with us, especially you guys. Make sure you bring everything you need so we don't have to come back for it."
After giving the instructions, I took out the walkie-talkie and started testing if it worked. Luckily, it did.
"Shushu, you guys keep the walkie-talkies safe. If you need them again, you can take the yacht to the island to pick us up. Remember, be careful and don't do anything reckless, especially you."
He knew that as long as he left with the people, they would also go to the island, especially since Shushu was afraid of snakes, so he had to remind her again.
“Didn’t they come to the island with us? Why are they allowed to stay?” Wang Huiya said.
An Shuyi didn't even bother to pay attention to her. "Big brother, I know. You should protect sister-in-law. We'll be fine and won't do anything reckless. We have walkie-talkies. If you encounter any danger, just tell us."
"You guys go to the small island on the left first, it's a bit safer up there. The right ones can wait until you've finished exploring the left side and decided, then call us."
Actually, she preferred the left side. It was quieter, and there were fewer snakes and no dinosaurs, unlike the right side, which had more snakes and dinosaurs, but also the most medicinal herbs, fruits, and plants.
“Okay, then we’ll go to the left. We’ll call you when you come back,” An Shuheng said, then slung his backpack and weapons over his shoulder.
Once the yacht stopped, they boarded a kayak and left. Because the cruise ship was too big, it was impossible for them to get close to the island; they could only keep a short distance away.
Watching them leave, Xia Hua drove the cruise ship away, turned to the other side of the small island on the right, lowered the kayak, and the group got on. An Shuyi placed her hand on the cruise ship and then disappeared.
"Set off!"
"Wife, are you really not going to stay?" Xiao Yubai asked again.
He was genuinely worried that she would be scared; after all, there were so many people, it would make most people's skin crawl.
"I've told you so many times, I'll go with you. Why do you keep asking? If you ask again, I'll get angry." I feel like my ears are calloused from hearing it.
"Alright, let's go then." They paddled the kayak to the island, and once they arrived, they packed the kayak away.
"Do you guys want some ice cream? I'm so hot, my scalp hurts from the sun," An Shuyi asked.
This awful weather! She's only wearing a sundress, and she's still unbearably hot; her skin is burning from the sun.
“Eat, I feel so hot too!” Cheng Yumo said.
Xia Hua looked at their clothes and said, "Why don't you change your clothes first? Tank tops and shorts will be fine. There's no need to wear so much."
The two of them were wearing suit pants, shirts, and leather shoes; it's no wonder they were hot dressed like that.
"Let's change it, honey, get me a new set," Xiao Yubai said.
An Shuyi nodded and took out a set of clothes for them: a simple white tank top, beach shorts, and a pair of flip-flops. She had originally bought them for swimming but hadn't worn them, so they were perfect for them now.
Cheng Yumo also got a set of clothes from Xia Hua. The two of them took the clothes, walked to the bushes, and quickly changed back.
After finishing the ice cream, they began searching for medicinal herbs, plants, and fruits.
“Let’s start our search from here. Split up a bit. Shushu, you stay with Yubai, otherwise you’ll be scared if you see snakes,” Xia Hua said.
“Honey, let’s work in pairs. That way, we can help each other if we encounter danger. Besides, I don’t have a warehouse, so I can’t just run back to give you everything I find.”
His wife is too powerful, a true queen, she doesn't need protection at all. But even the strongest person has moments of vulnerability, and being together with her means he can protect her.
"Alright, then we'll work in pairs. Put the things you find in the warehouse, and when there's a lot, we'll put them in Shushu's warehouse. Let's begin."
After they finished speaking, the group began their search. To be on the safe side, they started looking from the outside of the island, where the objects were ten times larger and easier to spot.
Not long after, An Shuyi spotted a yam vine. "Huahua, when do yams ripen?" she asked, taking a hoe from the warehouse. "Honey, let's dig."
Xia Hua's voice came from the side, "July, there are still two months left, but the things here are ten times bigger, dig them out and take a look."
Even if they're not fully ripe yet, the yams are bigger than normal now, so digging them up won't be a loss.
"Okay." Hearing her say that, he also took out a small hoe, but before he could dig, he saw something sticking out of the soil.
"Honey, be careful. What's sticking out is a yam, and it looks as thick as my neck."
Xiao Yubai nodded, "Go over there a bit, I'll dig it out and take a look, otherwise I'll run into you."
She practically stuck her head into the pit, there was nowhere to put the hoe.
"Okay." The obedient girl stood a little further away and watched him quickly dig away the soil around the yam with a few strokes of his hoe, making the yam more clearly visible.
"My God, ten times bigger is truly extraordinary. It's as thick as my neck, at least 1.2 meters tall. If we bring this back, it will definitely cause a sensation."
Unfortunately, it's not possible. Without permission from above, we can't reveal what's going on here. Besides, they're on a cruise ship, so it's impossible for them to dig up these things.
Xiao Yubai pulled her aside, "Wife, don't get yourself dirty. Let me pull it out first, then you can take a good look." After saying that, he grabbed the yam with both hands and started pulling it out.
I never imagined that this yam plant would grow so deep. When it's pulled out, it's at least 1.5 meters long. I feel like this yam plant could feed a family for ten meals.
An Shuyi took it and held it above her head. "Huahua, look at my yam, isn't it big?"
