"Aunt Yuan, do you feel short of breath?" Not long after setting out early in the morning, Xu Ning took out a palm-leaf fan and fanned himself while wiping the sweat off his face.
Xu Yuan and Xu Feng were also drenched in sweat. She looked at the clouds gradually gathering in the sky, frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's going to rain. Ningning, let's walk faster. We have to find a place to hide before it rains."
Xu Ning took out his monitor and took a look. He saw that there were still many clouds blowing towards them. It seemed that the rain would not stop. Xu Ning quickly enlarged the screen and looked around, finally finding a flat slope.
The slope is backed by a rocky mountain, which is not prone to landslides. The flat area of the slope is also large, and the terrain is high, so there is no need to worry about water accumulation.
"Aunt Yuan, we can set up a tent here!" Xu Yuan took a quick look and nodded, and the three of them hurried towards the slope.
Before long, the clouds in the sky became thicker and darker in color, gradually changing from the initial grayish white to dark gray, and even black in some places.
These clouds are like huge mountains, undulating and stretching into the distance. Their edges are blurred, as if they have merged with the sky, making it difficult to distinguish between clouds and sky.
The wind gradually grew stronger. The originally gentle breeze became violent and restless, like an enraged beast, roaring wantonly between heaven and earth.
The temperature also dropped imperceptibly in the wind. The originally hot air now became cool and pleasant, making people feel extremely comfortable. However, this coolness was not true coolness, but a sign of the coming storm.
"Ningning, we have to run faster." Xu Yuan's anxious voice sounded, and Xu Ning and Xu Feng finally ran with all their might.
There was a damp smell in the air, as if the whole world was immersed in water, making it difficult to breathe.
Suddenly, a dull thunder rumbled from the distant sky. It seemed to come from underground, deep and powerful, making people feel palpitations.
As thunder roared, lightning began to appear in the sky. These lightning bolts were like giant silver dragons, weaving through the clouds, emitting dazzling light from time to time, which was extremely shocking.
Gradually, the thunder grew closer and the lightning became more frequent. The air was filled with a tense atmosphere, making people feel a little uneasy.
Xu Ning and the other two hurried along, finally reaching the slope before the rain started. Without taking a break, they simply cleaned up the slope. Xu Ning immediately took out the tent, and the three of them quickly set up their one-bedroom, one-living-room tent.
Finally, the first drop of rain fell. It was like a crystal-clear pearl, slowly falling from the sky, splashing a small drop of water on the ground. Then, more raindrops fell, and they were like a group of naughty children, happily jumping between heaven and earth.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. It was like a silver curtain pouring down from the sky, covering the whole world.
Xu Ning and Xu Feng collapsed exhausted in the tent. They gasped for breath and looked at the rain hitting the tent outside, breathing a sigh of relief.
"Emma, I'm so tired." Xu Ning complained as she sat up. She took out a simple table from her treasure chest and then exchanged for a bunch of food and drinks and placed them on it.
"Come and have something to eat to replenish your energy," Xu Ning said, picking up a cup of her favorite passion fruit double shot and taking a long sip. The cool taste instantly made her feel a chill spread throughout her body, as if all her fatigue had been dispelled.
"Great!" she couldn't help but exclaim.
Xu Feng followed suit, picking up a glass and taking a big gulp, but he couldn't help but shudder. "So cold! So refreshing!" he said, a look of surprise on his face.
"Delicious, right?" Xu Ning smiled contentedly. She picked up a piece of fragrant grilled wing and took a bite. The meat was tender and juicy, and the aroma filled the air. This bite made her feel incredibly satisfied.
"I wonder if it's raining over there in the valley?" Xu Ning muttered while eating.
"Second sister, there's no need to be afraid of the rain over there in the valley."
"That's true."
"Second sister, this juice is so delicious. Can we make it ourselves?" Every time Xu Feng eats something he likes, he wonders if he can eat it every day in the future.
"Sure, this passion fruit double shot is the simplest. It's just honey, passion fruit juice, and ice." Xu Ning glanced at the cup and added, "There's also coconut flakes and pearls. Coconut flakes are made from coconut milk, and there are coconut trees by the sea. Pearls are made from brown sugar..."
"Second sister, this is not easy." Xu Feng took a sip blankly, chewing the coconut flakes and pearls in his mouth and swallowing them.
"When we get back, your second sister will make it for you and you'll know how simple it is." After Xu Ning finished speaking, he put down his milk tea and started to eat the roast chicken. Xu Feng stuffed French fries into his mouth and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Second sister, these fries are delicious too!"
Xu Ning opened the ketchup and handed it to Xu Feng and Xu Yuan, "Dip it in ketchup, it tastes better this way!"
Xu Yuan first dipped a French fry in it, and her eyes immediately lit up when she put it in her mouth. "Ningning, this sauce is so delicious! This, the combination of them is indescribably delicious!"
Xu Ning smiled like a groundhog. After swallowing the meat in her mouth, she slowly said, "When the time comes, let's ask Dad to plant more potatoes. They are a high-yield crop, with a yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu. We can eat them every day, and there are many ways to eat them. We can eat as much as we want!"
"Hmm!" Xu Yuan couldn't wait to pick up the French fries and dip them in ketchup to eat. At this moment, she looked like a naive little girl. Xu Ning was very happy seeing this.
