I became a vicious stepmother and I went to the sea to feed my three children.

His eyes fell on the surroundings. He had to admit that the environment of this island was very beautiful, but he couldn't understand why Bai Qingyao would think of buying an island here?

His gaze fell on Bai Qingyao again, but he saw that Bai Qingyao had already stood up and found some wooden boards, and formed a circle next to the small pool of fresh water.

A well will be dug here later to store fresh water. After the well is dug, a safe distance will be reserved nearby.

Gu Yichen glanced at her and asked, "Do you need help?"

Bai Qingyao glanced at him and continued, "Then help me fence this place off. I'll find someone to dig the well later."

"Let me do it."

After Gu Yichen finished speaking, he stepped forward and said, "When I was in the military camp, I helped repair the river and was exposed to water conservancy. I think it should be similar."

Bai Qingyao didn't expect that Gu Yichen had done this.

However, since he has done all this, she doesn't need to look for anyone else.

"it is good."

After Gu Yichen finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to start work.

Bai Qingyao was not idle either. She turned around and prepared to take a walk around the neighborhood. Last time she only walked around a small area nearby and did not finish her tour.

There was a low bush near the land she planned to mark out as a foundation, so she decided to go over there and take a look.

The surroundings were still lush and green. No one had ever been to the island before, and the plants there were growing very lushly. Every few steps she took, she could see familiar wild vegetables, and they were very fat, green and tender.

She picked a little, not too much, and at the same time memorized all the places she had been to. After returning, she planned to draw a map of the island so that she would be clearer when building a house later.

Going further in, the ground is half sand and half soil. It is not suitable for growing crops, but this kind of soil is also suitable for crops. However, she does not have that many seeds now.

However, after the system mall is opened, you should be able to find it in it.

While thinking, Bai Qingyao looked up and found that she had walked into a dense bush without knowing when.

She saw that the surrounding bushes were all crowded together, and the plants not far away were even stacked on top of each other, with a big hole in the middle. It looked a bit like a natural shelter for survival in the wilderness. She became alert instantly.

Could such a big hole be the hole of some wild beast?

She took a quick look and found nothing inside, so she breathed a sigh of relief. If there really was some large beast inside, wouldn't she be in great danger?

Even if we move to the island later, we won’t have peace.

There was nothing inside, so Bai Qingyao raised her hand and fiddled with the weeds in front of her.

‘Boom——’

Something suddenly fell down and she looked over subconsciously.

!

It’s wild pineapple slices!

No wonder these leaves looked familiar to her just now, they turned out to be wild pineapples.

All the small fruits in front of her fell into her sight. Many of them were already ripe, swaying in front of her eyes in bright yellow, and her eyes were shining.

He walked forward and picked the ripe pineapple.

Although it is a wild fruit, it is still a fruit.

After she came here, she saw very few fruits. Although there were fruits in the market, they were either too expensive or not fresh. Moreover, most of them were not fresh.

Fruits are too expensive and ordinary people simply cannot afford them. The ones available at the market are just leftovers and don’t taste good.

But these are different, they are pure natural wild fruits, and she has never seen them in the market yet.

She picked a wild pineapple and sat down casually. She took out the bright yellow pineapple, tore off a small petal and put it in her mouth.

Suddenly, her face wrinkled up.

acid!

This is too sour.

Compared with the sweetness of the wild peach, this wild pineapple is also a little sweet, but the sour taste still accounts for the vast majority.

It’s better to go back and soak it in salt water before eating, or make it into canned food.

She can't stand the sourness, but people who like sour food will probably like this wild pineapple.

She didn't pick many, just five or six, which together weighed only about three or four pounds.

This wild pineapple is small and has a shell, so there is not much flesh.

Carrying the wild pineapple on his back, Bai Qingyao took note of this place and went to other places for a look.

When she returned, Gu Yichen had retrieved a lot of tools without her knowing when, and the well in front of him had taken shape, however.

Looking at the tools on the ground, Bai Qingyao's eyes flashed with admiration. Not bad, he even knows how to use tools.

You know, wells and other things need to be dug very deep. If you dig them purely by manpower, it would be very dangerous. The best way is to use tools.

However, she didn't expect that he actually made a simple tool even though she just said it casually at that time.

"This thing isn't very easy to use. When I get back, I'll refine the tools I use to dig wells so I can dig deeper."

Bai Qingyao was silent. No matter how you looked at it, Gu Yichen didn't look like an ordinary farmer. Such a person shouldn't be trapped here.

"it is good."

"By the way, this...should the well be wider so it can collect water better?"

Bai Qingyao was stunned for a moment. This was in ancient times, and there were no facilities as developed as modern ones. Even if the well could be dug a little deeper, it would definitely not be possible to dig it very deep. Gu Yichen's worry was not without reference.

"can."

If it is impossible to dig further, it can be converted into a pool, and the water collection device will be easier to design.

Gu Yichen didn’t know what Bai Qingyao was thinking, but now he had some other ideas about this well in his mind. However, it still needed to be improved.

Bai Qingyao walked over, put down the backpack, took out a few peaches, went to get some water, washed them, and went to Gu Yichen.

"Here, try some peaches I just picked."

Gu Yichen lowered his eyes and looked at the arm that was suddenly stretched out, and his gaze then fell on a fruit in her hand that was a little green and a little red. He seemed to have seen this kind of fruit in the mountains before, but it tasted very astringent and not very delicious.

He raised his hand to take it. Although he didn't think it tasted good, it was Bai Qingyao's gift after all, so he took it anyway.

He opened his mouth and took a bite.

It was crunchy and not as astringent as expected. Instead, it was sour and sweet, with a crisp texture, full and juicy. It was completely different from any wild fruit he had eaten before!

what happened?

Isn’t this a wild fruit?

Still doubting himself, he took another bite and it was still delicious. However, after just a few bites, the core of the wild fruit in his hand was already exposed.

Bai Qingyao handed the thing in her hand back to him, clapped her hands, and turned to the other side.
