Don't panic if your home is confiscated or you are exiled, just empty the warehouse and stock u

The poor and backward fishing village can be said to have nothing. In the distance are rolling green peaks, and under their feet is soft and fine sand. Scattered fishing villages are dotted among them, and the simple houses appear particularly lonely under the sunlight.

There is nothing on Nanzhou Island. The fishermen here are isolated from the outside world, lack supplies, and all live the most primitive life.

After the mining ship dropped them off, it headed directly to another island to transport the iron ore.

Several local officers and soldiers stationed here stood aside, their eyes revealing their usual indifference and scrutiny.

"How long do you think this group of people can hold out this time?" One of the soldiers narrowed his eyes and glanced at the prisoners being escorted over with a playful smile on his face.

Another soldier shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I think it's probably the same as before. It won't last long before it tries to escape."

It is extremely difficult to escape from this deserted island. It is surrounded by the sea and there are no ships, so it is impossible to escape.

When they arrived here, if they wanted a place to live, they had to build it themselves. If they were hungry and hoped to have food to eat, they had to do it themselves, farming and sowing. Not only that, they had to go out to sea to fish and be self-sufficient.

Every day, they had to complete the heavy tasks assigned by the officers and soldiers, such as reclaiming wasteland, digging canals to divert water, raising animals, digging caves, and panning for gold in rivers...

If they were lucky enough to grow some grain, most of it would have to be presented to the local officers and soldiers, and all they would be able to keep was just a tiny portion to barely fill their stomachs. If they failed to grow any, they would not only starve but also be whipped.

"What are you looking at? Let's go!"

One of the soldiers pushed Jiang Lanxu, but due to Jiang Lanxu's strong physique, his attack failed and he almost fell.

The soldier was enraged and whipped Jiang Lanxu on the back with his whip, but the force was so strong that his body was as strong as iron and skin, so he could hardly feel any pain.

He spat angrily, "There's still a lot of time to come, just wait and see how I slowly take care of you!"

The officers and soldiers stopped and announced loudly: "You have also seen the environment of Nanzhou Island. If you want to eat, you must rely on your own labor to get it. I will allocate wasteland to you. Your current task is to reclaim the wasteland. You cannot rest no matter it is windy or rainy! Here, lazy people have no way to survive, and don't even think about escaping! The prisoners exiled here have never escaped. Do you see that wasteland? That's the fate of running away!"

After hearing this, everyone complained.

When Jiang Yan and his family arrived at the allocated thatched hut, they were shocked by the scene before them.

I originally thought that in this strange land, I could at least have a simple residence to live in.

But this so-called house was far from what they had expected. It was just a skeleton standing there alone. Apart from a few fragile beams supporting the crumbling structure, the roof was empty, exposed to the wind and rain.

The house was in a mess. Not to mention people, even wild dogs would shake their heads when seeing it.

Jiang Lanxu felt a surge of guilt in his heart. Because he had accidentally angered those officers and soldiers just now, his family was deliberately arranged to live in the worst house.

He looked at the simple environment around him and couldn't help blaming himself, "It's all because of my fault that I have implicated everyone."

Jiang Siyu stared blankly at the crumbling house. The trace of longing and expectation for this place that still remained in her heart was now completely extinguished like a flame doused by cold water.

"Even our shelter is so poor, mother, do you think we will really starve to death if we come here?"

Jing Qiudie comforted him, "Don't worry, we have hands and feet, how can we starve to death? Although the environment is a bit bad, we should be able to survive..."

However, before she could finish her words, there was a loud bang, and the beam she had just touched collapsed.

Amid the flying dust, the Jiang family looked at each other in confusion; their home was now completely gone.

Jiang Nianwei didn't think it mattered. None of the shabby houses here could last long.

It is close to the sea, the climate is humid, the weather is hot and humid, and it is sometimes windy and rainy.

If you want a house that can both shelter from wind and rain and resist the erosion of humid air, it is undoubtedly most appropriate to build it with stone. Stone is strong and durable, not easily affected by moisture and decay, and can also resist heat.

When she went ashore just now, she observed the shore and found that it was covered with a large number of natural coral rocks.

These coral stones have various shapes, but they are strong and durable. Using them as raw materials for building houses is undoubtedly the best choice.

Jiang Mian and Jiang Hao looked at the house in front of them, which seemed to be in good condition, and nodded with satisfaction.

This satisfaction did not last long, and the next moment, their smiles froze on their faces.

Inside the house, a dried corpse was clearly visible, emitting an unbearable stench that was nauseating.

This house had been the residence of other exiles, and from the sight before us it seemed that the unfortunate former occupant had starved to death, and after his death there was not even anyone to collect his body.

Jiang Mian and Jiang Hao stood at the door, frightened by the scene before them and unable to move for a long time, with an indescribable fear surging in their hearts.

Jiang Mian couldn't help but complain: "How can I live in a house like this?"

Jiang Hao also had a bitter look on his face and shook his head helplessly, "What can I complain about coming here? It's better than having no place to live."

The guards here didn't seem to take them seriously, perhaps because they felt that this isolated island surrounded by the sea was a natural cage for them.

What's more, there is only one mining ship passing through every month, and it is under their close surveillance. They don't seem to have to worry about these people having any chance of escape.

Jiang Nianwei strolled around and finally found a hidden cave. Although the cave was simple, it was spacious enough to accommodate them temporarily. The huge rock also divided it into several compartments, which could be used as rooms.

Even Aunt Liu, who was always optimistic, couldn't help but look worried and sigh.

She looked around the dim and empty cave, looking troubled: "There is nothing in this cave. In the past, we at least had a carriage, so we could still bring some supplies. Now we are in this situation, what should we do?"

Jiang Nianwei smiled bitterly in her heart. She naturally could not reveal the secret that she owned a space, let alone mention the mountains of supplies. She could only find a reasonable excuse to appease Aunt Liu.

"Don't worry, Ma'am. My brother and I will go to the nearby fishing village later to see if there is anything we can exchange."

Jiang Nianwei felt that the time was ripe, so she called Jiang Lanxu to a secluded place.

Her eldest brother was a trustworthy person, and they had experienced so many life and death situations, and the friendship between the siblings was extremely deep, so she planned to tell him about the space.

Jiang Nianwei took out the walnut that she had kept close to her body and asked solemnly, "Brother, do you know what this is?"

Jiang Lanxu couldn't help but reveal a confused look, and shook his head and said, "Isn't this just an ordinary walnut? I don't see what's so special about it."

"This is the dowry my mother gave me. I originally thought it was just an ordinary walnut, but look at this..."

Jiang Nianwei just gently turned the walnut a few times, and a fishing net appeared out of thin air in front of Jiang Lanxu. This was what she bought after she learned that she was exiled to Yazhou. Now it was moved out of the space, proving the existence of this space.

Jiang Lanxu just felt incredible, "Nianwei, what's going on? Why did this thing appear out of thin air? Is it possible that I am dazzled?"

After saying that, he rubbed his eyes hard again, trying to dispel the illusion before his eyes.

But when he opened his eyes again, he found that the fishing net was still lying there quietly, real and without any falsehood.

Seeing his stunned expression, Jiang Nianwei further elaborated: "It is rumored that our mother's Jing family's ancestors once had an immortal. This walnut space must be the treasure left by that immortal in the world. After I found out, I stockpiled goods and bought food along the way. Today, the supplies we have stored are enough for several generations of our family to live comfortably here. There are two reasons why I have kept my mouth shut and never revealed this secret to anyone. First, the existence of this space is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people. It is too incredible. I am afraid that after I tell you, you will think I am talking nonsense. Second, I am also worried that once this secret is leaked, it will cause unnecessary trouble and disputes, but brother, you are a trustworthy person."

Jiang Lanxu was silent for a long time, still sorting out his thoughts. This fishing net really existed.

And with this explanation, it can also explain why my sister often behaves strangely. "So that's it. I have heard mother talk about it before, but I never thought it was true."

"Indeed, but my brother and I still need to work together. Even if we are in this barren land, we don't have to worry about survival."

Jiang Lanxu quickly accepted all these strange changes. He knew very well that the existence of the Walnut Space was undoubtedly a blessing.

And this secret cannot be easily exposed to the public, otherwise, it will no longer bring surprises, but endless hidden dangers.

"You are absolutely right." He took a deep breath, his eyes revealed an unprecedented determination, looking directly into Nian Wei's eyes, "I will strictly follow your plan and will never let this secret leak out."

In this way, the huge rock hanging in Jiang Nianwei's heart finally fell to the ground.

Now there was finally someone who shared this deep secret with her, which invisibly relieved a lot of her pressure.

She took out some food, pig offal and the like, as well as a big pot from the space, pretending that she had bought them from a fishing village, and asked her eldest brother to take them back first.

When Aunt Liu saw the big pot, her eyes suddenly flashed with ecstasy. She shouted excitedly: "Oh, this is a really rare and good pot! I didn't expect to find such a treasure in this remote place. Today, I will open the pot and stew a pot of fragrant braised pork offal for everyone!"

After saying that, Madam Liu swiftly opened the bag she was carrying and took out a bag of spices that she had treasured for a long time.

She smiled and said to herself, "I thought these materials would never be used again, but I didn't expect they would come in handy here."

While Aunt Liu was stewing the pig's offal, the others were busy outside picking some palm leaves and banana leaves, which they laid out to use as beds, so that they could avoid living directly in the cave.

Jiang Nianwei picked the leaves deftly while reminding everyone: "Be careful when picking. Gently shake the leaves like this to avoid small insects hiding in them. There are many kinds of poisonous insects here. Once bitten, it will be very unpleasant. Tomorrow I will go to the fishing village to buy some bedding so that everyone can have a more comfortable place to rest and don't have to endure such hardship."

"I'll keep it in mind."

Jiang Siyu had just arrived here and had not yet felt the hardships of clearing the land. She thought that picking leaves in this way was actually quite interesting.

From time to time, she could find large yellow fruits fallen among the green leaves.

Jiang Siyu was curious, so she picked up the fruit and handed it to Jiang Nianwei, "Sister, do you know what this is? Can it be eaten? It smells like a faint fragrance."

Jiang Nianwei took the fruit and recognized it as a ripe mango at a glance. The unique sweet smell filled the air, making people salivate. "This is a mango. It's ripe. Of course you can eat it, but be careful. Some people are allergic to mangoes. It's best to take a small bite first. If you don't feel anything unusual, you can continue to eat it."

Jiang Siyu peeled the mango as she said. She took a careful bite and immediately, a sweet taste flowed on her tongue like spring water.

After tasting it, she did not feel any discomfort and began to enjoy this delicious fruit boldly. She even picked some more mangoes to take back and share with others.

Everyone worked together to spread the leaves into a thick layer. Although the temperature on the island was high, lying on the soft bed made of leaves gave an unexpected sense of coolness.

Jiang Lanxu was laying the food with extra care, while Qiu Meixue was coaxing the baby on the side. Seeing him crying loudly, she felt that he was hungry.

This cave was specially arranged by Jiang Nianwei for the couple. It was hidden and quiet, and outsiders could not see what was going on inside. Under Jiang Lanxu's cover, Qiu Meixue began to breastfeed.

Jiang Lanxu felt guilty, "I feel so guilty for letting you and Chen Ge'er suffer with us."

Qiu Meixue shook her head gently and said softly, "Husband, what are you talking about? My family has taken good care of me along the way. They gave me everything they had, and I didn't suffer much. Besides, living in this cave is also very interesting, so I don't feel tired at all."

After a pause, she began to worry again, with a shy look on her face, "It's just...it's just that I didn't have any milk at the beginning, but now there is too much milk, and Chen Ge'er can't drink it all, and I often feel...uncomfortable."
