I think my luck is turning around.

Ji Xia immediately understood An Ge's meaning when she saw her gaze. Looking at Ji Xixi and Lin Jingqing, she knew they were probably not reliable. As long as they didn't cause trouble, she would be grateful.

An Ge stepped out of the house and looked at the mimosa plants everywhere. Following a path, she noticed that the further she went, the fewer mimosa plants there were, and the fewer people there were. Could there be something here?

An Ge pondered, while Ji Xia began to observe her surroundings. The further they went, the quieter it became. Before they reached the end of the path, Xiao Bing appeared, smiling warmly at the two approaching.

"Where are you two headed?" Xiao Bing's tone remained calm.

"Just wander around."

An Ge said calmly, "It's just that staying at home is boring, so I came out to see if there are any fun places."

Xiao Bing, you're from around here, do you have any recommendations?

An Ge's question was quite formal. Xiao Bing's expression changed, and he looked at An Ge mysteriously, saying in a very low voice, "Would you two like to go to a lively place? That place is definitely worth looking forward to!"

Xiao Bing's words caught An Ge's attention. A lively place, something to look forward to? What kind of talk is that? Is it some kind of con artist's jargon? Although An Ge was very confused, her outward expression showed that she was looking forward to it. She also looked at Ji Xia with expectant eyes. Ji Xia seemed to understand what An Ge meant and immediately responded.

"Where? Take us there!"

Seeing the expectant looks on their faces, Xiao Bing happily led the way, but they were heading towards an area with many mimosa plants. Although there were many mimosa plants along the roadside, the path underfoot was a clean stone slab path.

After walking for a long time, they finally arrived!

It was indeed a lively place, with a large and beautiful lake. There were many people there, including some from the tour groups.

As they walked, Xiao Bing explained, "This is the main feature of our island, Hanqian Lake. Everything around here is naturally formed, and the aquatic products in the lake are all carefully selected, so you can eat them with confidence."

Look at this tree over there; it's two thousand years old and evergreen. Of course, we don't have four seasons here.

The fruit of this tree is also very rare, having only been recorded once a thousand years ago. The book records that the fruit is extremely rare, and that eating it strengthens the body, prolongs life, enhances internal energy, and has many other remarkable effects.

An Ge followed the sound and looked at the tree, its branches and leaves very dense. She stared at it for a long time, as if trying to find a fruit. Ji Xia didn't speak, but just stood there quietly.

An Ge stared at it for a while, then lowered her head; her neck was really sore! An Ge walked towards the tree, and saw the person sitting under it—they looked so familiar!

"James! What are you doing here?"

James's body had almost fully recovered by this time, even better than before. He was pleasantly surprised to see An Ge and immediately asked, "Zhan Yu is with you, right?"

Only after this problem arose did we realize its seriousness. Neither the previous statisticians nor anyone we encountered had seen Zhan Yu. An Ge shook his head, and Zhan Shi also fell into deep thought. By now, almost everyone in the team should have arrived, with only a few still missing.

Perhaps Zhan Yu hasn't come in yet! This is just a guess, but there are many possibilities. Could something have happened to Zhan Yu? An Ge dared not think any further; the priority now was to find Zhan Yu!

An Ge looked at Xiao Bing, but would this person really tell her? She didn't know, so she decided to ask first!

How many people have come in these past two days?

Xiao Bing replied honestly, "Quite a few people have come in these past two days! Forty-seven people in total!"

There were forty-nine people in total, and now only two are missing. Comparing them to the previous list, could Zhan Yu be among them? We need to do another census!

"Perhaps we need to count the number of people again. Right now, our concern is what problems might arise with the people who come in."

An Ge leaned on Ji Xia's shoulder, her voice soft, just loud enough for the two of them to hear. Ji Xia looked around. "Let's start here!" she thought. Ji Xia was also capable of recalling characters' memories.

"Let's stop here for now! Let's look around the area."

Xiao Bing immediately replied to An Ge's refusal, "Of course, then I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, Xiao Bing left Hanqian Lake. An Ge stood under the tree, looking at the surrounding environment. To be honest, the environment here was really beautiful, with clear waters and lush mountains.

An Ge looked up again and saw a bright red fruit hanging there. It really was a fruit! An Ge stared in shock, afraid to blink, lest the fruit disappear in an instant.

This tree is two thousand years old, but it only bore fruit a thousand years ago. So, is it time to bear fruit now? No! Ange suddenly rejected her own idea. It's just that this tree has a recorded history of two thousand years, not that it only has a two thousand years of history. Perhaps it has lived for more than two thousand years?

An Ge looked down at the ground and the tree roots. Perhaps she was mistaken; the fruit didn't exist at all. She had only hoped for a fruit from this tree. Her eyes had deceived her, and her brain had deceived her.

An Ge lowered her head and closed her eyes. After a long time, she opened her eyes again and looked up. The fruit was still there. It really was a fruit! An Ge's joy was beyond words. She looked around happily, but there was no one to share this joy with.

At this moment, she wanted this fruit; she wanted to pick it. Standing on tiptoe definitely wasn't enough. Ange touched the tree trunk, feeling the relatively rough bark, and decided to try climbing it. Surprisingly, it was really easy to climb!

A moment later, An Ge reached the fruit. She reached out to touch it, and the instant she touched it, the fruit's stem separated from the branch, landing in her hand. Was it really that simple? An Ge didn't even know how she got down; she just got down very easily. The fruit was still in her hand.

An Ge looked at the fruit in her hand with great confusion. She glanced around, but the surroundings remained unchanged. An Ge tucked the fruit into her bosom; she wanted to go back.

Based on the clues in her memory, the road wasn't too difficult to find. Upon arriving at the front of the house, she pushed open the door and saw Lin Jingqing pacing anxiously in the courtyard. An Ge was quite puzzled by his anxious demeanor.

"What's wrong with you? Have you reached a bottleneck in your cultivation?"

Lin Jingqing looked in the direction of the voice and saw it was An Ge's voice. He was overjoyed; it really was An Ge! He had thought An Ge was lost!
