Start a mysterious island

"tear……"

Lin Li opened the outer packaging of the express delivery, opened the lid, saw what was inside, and said to Su Yue in the kitchen.

"It's the old hen."

Su Yue walked into the restaurant with the fried dishes in her hands, put the dishes on the dining table, looked at the express delivery that Lin Li opened, and said with a smile.

"This old hen my mother sent me came at the right time..."

After saying that, Su Yue took the treated old hen out of the foam box, washed it in the kitchen, then raised the knife and chopped the old hen into pieces and put them in the pressure cooker.

"I remember I put those wild ginseng last time..."

Su Yue knelt down, opened the cabinet and searched, and found a pack of wild ginseng of some age in the innermost corner.

Standing at the door of the kitchen, Lin Li saw Su Yue take out a pack of wild ginseng from the cabinet and asked curiously, "Are you going to stew ginseng chicken soup?"

"Yes!" Su Yue turned around and looked at Lin Li, replying with a smile.

"The weather is so hot now. If I drink ginseng and chicken soup, I might get a nosebleed!" Lin Li said.

"It's not as exaggerated as you said." After Su Yue heard what Lin Li said, he hesitated, thought for a few seconds, and then said, "Um... I just need to put less ginseng."

"Yeah." Lin Li nodded, and then he saw Su Yue take out a very good wild ginseng from the box, cut everything into sections, and then throw them into the pressure cooker.

Covering the pot, she placed the pressure cooker with ginseng and old hen on the stove. After lighting the fire, Su Yue said to Lin Li who was standing at the door of the kitchen.

"Don't just stand here stupidly. Go to the living room and watch TV for a while. I will call you when I finish cooking..."

"Oh." Lin Li nodded, then he thought of something, and then he took out some things he had prepared before from the mysterious island.

"Eh?!!!"

Su Yue was about to stir-fry the next dish, but she suddenly saw a lot of things appearing on the ground and was stunned for a moment.

"I met a melon farmer selling melons on the roadside before. Seeing how cheap their watermelons were, I bought a lot of them. I couldn't finish them all by myself. You can keep this basket of watermelons and eat it slowly."

As Lin Li spoke, he took out a watermelon from the basket, opened the refrigerator in the kitchen, and put it in.

"The storage space power is really convenient!" Su Yue looked at the things on the ground and sighed again.

Then, her eyes fell on another bag, with a look of doubt in her eyes.

Lin Li put the watermelon in the refrigerator to chill, looked at Su Yue, noticed the doubt in the other person's eyes, and followed Su Yue's gaze.

"I picked this stuff when I was hunting exotic animals in the wild. It has the effect of clearing away heat, detoxifying, reducing fire and removing moisture. Now that the weather is hot, you can use it to boil water to drink..."

Lin Li explained the effect of snow lotus to Su Yue. Then, Su Yue picked up the plastic bag containing the dried snow lotus from the ground. After opening it, she took out a dry snow lotus and observed it carefully.

"lotus?"

"Yes."

"Does this thing really have the effect you said?" Su Yue said.

"Yes." Lin Li said affirmatively.

"Does it taste good?" Su Yue asked again.

"Uh..." Lin Li couldn't answer Su Yue's question after hearing it because he had never drank the water boiled by Snow Lotus.

The plant illustration bought at the Spirit World Bookstore has detailed records that snow lotus has the effect of clearing away heat, detoxifying, reducing fire and removing dampness, but there is no description of what it tastes like when boiled in water, and whether it tastes good or not.

"You haven't had it before, have you?" Su Yue looked at Lin Li's inability to answer the question. She was smart and thought about it for a while, and then she guessed it.

"Although I haven't tasted it, it certainly doesn't taste bad." A somewhat embarrassed Lin Li said with a smile.

"After lunch later, I will bring some to boil water, and you drink it first." Su Yue said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll drink it later." Lin Li nodded. Then, he left the kitchen and sat down on the sofa in the living room, waiting for Su Yue to cook lunch.

When Su Yue was the only one left in the kitchen, she looked at the dried snow lotus flowers in the plastic bag and muttered to herself.

"This lotus looks familiar. Have I drunk it before at home?"

…………

It was approaching noon, and the sunlight from the sun hanging in the sky was getting hotter.

Pedestrians coming and going on the street choose to walk under the shade of trees because of the rising temperature.

Public places with air conditioning have become places where many people go to escape the heat.

It was almost time for lunch, and the restaurant, which had been idle all morning, began to fill up with guests.

In the busy street, cars were driving back and forth, and the noise they made spread to both sides of the street.

In the park near Ping'an Garden Community, the sound of cars driving on the road entered the park and was quickly blocked by some lush vegetation and disappeared.

The further you walk into the park, the more peaceful you feel.

In the center of the park, there is a large artificial lake.

There are large trees with lush branches growing on the shore of the lake. Occasionally, a gust of wind will blow, and the leaves falling from the trees will fall on the rippling blue lake.

"Wow, wow, wow..."

The water splashed, the clear sound of water flow echoed on the lake, and the ripples spread, carrying the leaves that fell on the water far away.

"Meow...these little fish are so cunning, they're so abominable!" the little black cat surfaced and said to his friends swimming not far away.

"Meow... I told you, those little fish are very nimble in the water. It's very difficult for you to catch them. Don't waste your efforts." The little white cat who was swimming heard what his friend said. , turned his head and responded.

"Meow... hum, I will definitely be able to catch those little fishes." The little black cat refused to give up and said resolutely, and then plunged into the water to catch the little fishes in the lake.

"Meow...why are you so stubborn?" The little white cat shook his head, retracted his gaze, and then looked at the figure on the shore.

On the shore of the artificial lake, the leafy trees are like huge parasols, creating a large area of ​​cool and comfortable shade.

Zhou Tongtong, who was wearing a ponytail and a round face full of smiles, was sitting on the grass under the big tree, holding a kettle in both hands, drinking water in small sips, and her eyes fell on the two people playing in the lake in the distance. On the figure.

"Jingle Bell……"

Suddenly, the children's phone watch on Zhou Tongtong's hand rang.

"Hello?"

"Tongtong, mom is ready to cook lunch, come back for lunch!"

Zhou Tongtong answered the phone and chatted with Xia Qing for a few words. After ending the call, she stood up, raised her hand to pat the grass clippings on her body, and shouted to the little white cat and the little black cat swimming in the lake in the distance.

"Xiao Bai, Xiao Hei, mom told me to go home for lunch. Come back quickly. We are going home."

"Meow... here we come." The little white cat heard Zhou Tongtong's cry on the shore and immediately swam to the shore.

The little black cat diving into the water naturally couldn't hear Zhou Tongtong's shouts at this moment.

Although it persisted in launching sneak attacks on small fish one after another in the lake, it failed without exception.

"Wow."

The water splashed, and the little white cat who came ashore shook his body, then squatted on the shore, looking towards the lake in the distance, waiting for his little friend to come back.

"Why hasn't Xiao Hei come back yet?" Zhou Tongtong muttered.

"Meow...it's catching small fish in the water. It probably didn't hear what you called just now." The little white cat said.

"Uh..." Zhou Tongtong blinked, and a pale golden light emerged from the depths of her big round eyes. She faced the lake again and shouted to the little black cat who had disappeared without a trace in the water.

"Xiao Hei, we are going home! Come back to the shore quickly..."

The little black cat was diving into the water to catch small fish, when Zhou Tongtong's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Meow...Zhou Tongtong is calling me to go home."

On the shore, the little white cat was about to tell Zhou Tongtong that it went into the water to find the little black cat. At this time, a small splash of water rose on the lake in the distance, and a black figure emerged from the water.

"Wow, wow, wow..."

The little black cat swam quickly to the shore and climbed onto the shore after a while.

"Meow... you are finally back. If you don't show up, I will go to the water to find you." The little white cat said to his friend.

"Meow... I was so absorbed in catching small fish just now that I didn't notice that you have landed." The little black cat shook his body and said sheepishly.

Zhou Tongtong looked at the two little wild cats that had returned to the shore. She did not take them back immediately, but waited for them to dry their wet bodies before going home.

"Meow... after lunch, can we come here to play in the afternoon?" asked the little black cat who was still not satisfied.

"I won't come to play in the afternoon. After lunch, watch cartoons for a while, I'm going to take a nap." Zhou Tongtong said.

"Meow...you've been swimming for a long time, aren't you tired?" the little white cat said to his friend after spending a lot of energy.

"Meow... I seem a little tired. I won't come here to play in the afternoon. I also want to take a nap." The little black cat said.

After a while, Zhou Tongtong left the park with two little wild cats.

"Ding dong."

The doorbell rang at home. Xia Qing, who had just cooked lunch, was about to call her daughter again. When she heard the doorbell rang, she immediately walked towards the door.

"Click."

Opening the door, Zhou Tongtong and two little wild cats stood at the door.

"You're back!" Xia Qing said with a smile.

Zhou Tongtong, who was in a hurry to go out just now, forgot to bring her keys. After ringing the doorbell, she looked at Xia Qing who opened the door for her and said eagerly as she walked home, "Mom, I'm so hungry!"

"Go wash your hands first, and then come over for lunch." Xia Qing shouted to Zhou Tongtong who hurried to the restaurant.

"Oh." Zhou Tongtong stopped, turned around and ran towards the bathroom.

The little white cat and the little black cat following Zhou Tongtong looked up at Xia Qing.

"You two little guys, come with me." Xia Qing greeted the two little wild cats, and then the little white cat and the little black cat followed her towards the kitchen.

After a while, Zhou Tongtong ate the seafood noodles cooked by Xia Qing with relish.

On the ground nearby, two little wild cats stuck their heads into the food bowl and ate the remaining seafood scraps.

…………

In Xingfu Garden Community, Lin Li, who was full of food and wine, was sitting on the sofa in the living room. There was a gurgling sound of water coming from the direction of the kitchen, where Su Yue was cleaning pots and pans.

"The old hen stewed with wild ginseng tastes really delicious! But the stamina is quite strong..."

Lin Li's body felt hot as he recalled the taste of the old hen stewed with wild ginseng he had just eaten.

Thanks to his warning to Su Yue, Su Yue put in less wild ginseng. Otherwise, Lin Li might have had a nosebleed after eating half the pot of wild ginseng stewed old hen.

After a while, the sound of water running in the kitchen stopped.

Su Yue, wearing a light blue light blue tank top and a mini skirt, swayed into the living room with a plate of cut watermelon in her hand.

"Eat some watermelon!"

Su Yue placed the fruit plate with watermelon on the coffee table and sat down next to Lin Li.

The scent of orchid and musk came to his nostrils. Smelling the familiar smell, Lin Li raised his hand to rub his nose and moved aside calmly.

"The watermelon you bought is so sweet." Su Yue picked up a piece of iced watermelon from the fruit plate, took a bite, and said in surprise.

"If you like it, eat more, and tell me after you're done. I still have a lot more!" Lin Li said with a smile, and then he also picked up a piece of iced watermelon from the fruit plate and ate it.

Su Yue smiled and said, "I will eat the basket of watermelons you gave me for a long time! By the time I finish eating, the weather will almost cool down."

"You can eat watermelon when the weather cools down. It doesn't mean that you can only eat watermelon on hot days..." Lin Li swallowed the watermelon in his mouth and ate it along with the seeds.

"You can eat watermelon without spitting out watermelon seeds!"

"It's too troublesome to eat and spit out watermelon seeds..."

The two of them were eating fruit after dinner and chatting. At this time, the news program on TV began to replay the white fog that appeared on the roof of the Sedum Building last night.

"Lin Li, experts say this was caused by practitioners, what do you think?" Su Yue threw the watermelon rind into the trash can and asked.

"It should be so. The white mist that appeared in the weather yesterday is obviously not a natural phenomenon. There is no other possibility except for practitioners to cause trouble." Lin Li said.

"The practitioner who caused such an abnormal phenomenon in the Jingtian Building is so courageous! Isn't he really afraid of being called upon by investigators from the Superpower Management Bureau?"

As Su Yue spoke, she picked up another piece of iced watermelon from the fruit plate and ate it.

Lin Li quickly ate the remaining half of the watermelon in his hand, threw the peel into the trash can, and then said to Su Yue.

"There are many daring practitioners. They will not be afraid until investigators from the Superpower Management Bureau come to their door..."

Su Yue raised her hand to push the hanging hair behind her ears, and said while watching the video of white fog covering the building played back on the TV.

"It's all on TV. The cultivator who came to cause this matter will be found out soon..."

Lin Li said vaguely, "I can't say for sure..."
