I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

"Watermelon!?" The third sister-in-law's pupils trembled, "Is there such a big watermelon in the mountains?"

She had never seen a watermelon before, but she had heard that the nobles in the palace had eaten it.

She never thought that she would actually eat watermelon in her lifetime, and on the run.

Since they entered the mountains, they didn't look like they were fleeing at all, but rather like they were out for a spring outing.

The gods took care of me along the way and I never lacked anything.

My fourth brother’s wife just gave them some detoxifying water to drink, and the mosquitoes stopped biting them.

In previous years, Ling Hui had a hard time in the summer, as every mosquito bite would leave a big bump.

This year, thanks to her fourth brother's wife, Ling Hui doesn't wake up from the itch when she sleeps.

The sister-in-law looked at the two huge watermelons in disbelief, and glanced at Lin Yiran unconsciously.

Seeing that there was no shock but only joy on her face, she instantly knew that the watermelon must have been made by her and placed in the woods.

"There are so many good things in the mountains. This is the first time I've seen such a big watermelon."

To be exact, it was the first time she had seen a whole watermelon.

When she went to the palace to see the Queen Mother, there was only a small bowl of sliced ​​watermelon in the Queen Mother's palace.

The second sister-in-law looked at the big watermelon with her eyes as big as copper bells.

She tried hard not to turn around and look at Lin Yiran.

The corners of his mouth trembled uncontrollably.

My fourth brother’s wife is no ordinary tiger. Is this something that Daliang State can have?

This is exclusive to Xiliang Kingdom.

My goodness, if Emperor Wu of Liang saw this, he would definitely jump up and down and say that the Xiao family was not wronged.

Otherwise, why were the watermelons they gave them bigger than those paid as tribute by the Kingdom of Xiliang?

"This must be very heavy. I'm sorry for the trouble, Fourth Brother. Come, let me hold this."

The second sister-in-law hurriedly took two steps forward and took a big watermelon from Xiao Yunzhan with a smile.

"Oh my, it's so heavy and smells so sweet."

The second sister-in-law held the big watermelon, leaned close to the watermelon rind, and took a deep breath in ecstasy.

Xiao Yunzhan looked at Lin Yiran and handed the watermelon in his hand to her.

"You guys cut the watermelon and eat it first. I'll go get the firewood."

"Okay, okay, go quickly and come back soon. I'll wait for you to eat together."

Lin Yiran happily took the watermelon, said a polite word, then turned around and walked towards the cave.

As she walked, she called out to the two children with stars in their eyes, "Come on, let me cut some watermelon for you. It's very sweet."

When Xiao Yunzhan heard Lin Yiran's words, his heart moved slightly. Just as he was about to say "No need to wait for him," he saw Lin Yiran and her two little nieces entering the cave without looking back.

Looking at the whole family following Lin Yiran into the cave, he curled his lips in embarrassment.

Come on, it looked like Lin Yiran was just being polite to him, so why did he take it so seriously?

Xiao Yunzhan gave a dry laugh and turned around quickly to get some firewood.

He had already sorted the firewood into two piles, and all he had to do was tie them up with vines and drag them back.

When Xiao Yunzhan came back dragging the firewood, Lin Yiran had already opened the watermelon.

"Sisters-in-law, keep this sword for peeling sweet potatoes and cutting watermelons. I'll mark it so you don't take the wrong one."

Lin Yiran picked up a stone from the ground and smashed the hilt of the sword into pieces.

Old Madam Xiao looked at Lin Yiran in astonishment as she made a simple and crude mark.

Well, the mark is indeed very obvious, and you can tell as soon as you hold the hilt.

The sisters-in-law's eyes twitched collectively and they nodded in unison.

Lin Yiran used the sword to cut the watermelon into small boats, and handed each large piece to everyone one by one.

"Mom, eat watermelon..."

"Oh, okay, it's too big, let's cut it in half."

Madam Xiao was flattered and caught the watermelon, which was bigger than her face, with both hands, and swallowed unconsciously.

When you cut the watermelon, a fresh and sweet scent hits your nose, instantly making you feel cool and thirst-quenching.

The whole cave was filled with a fresh and sweet smell.

"It's not that big, eat it quickly, mom."

Lin Yiran handed the cut watermelon to everyone one by one and urged them casually.

In the past, she would cut watermelon in half and eat it with a spoon.

It's just a small piece, you can't finish it.

"Thank you, fourth brother and sister-in-law."

The sisters-in-law licked their lips and took the watermelon.

The bright red flesh is mouth-watering.

"Hiss Liu~"

After Lin Yiran divided the watermelon, she picked up a piece and took a bite. The rich watermelon juice filled her mouth and she slurped it unconsciously.

Xiao Lingyan and Xiao Linghui stared with their round eyes, took a careful bite of the watermelon, and squinted their eyes happily.

When Xiao Yunzhan dragged firewood into the cave, he smelled a fresh and sweet scent.

There was no sound of talking in the cave, only the slurping sound of people eating watermelon.

Xiao Yunzhan glanced at everyone, a smile flashing in his eyes.

The watermelon was cut into such a big piece that it was obviously cut by Lin Yiran.

When eating, everyone was worried that the juice would get on their clothes, so they stretched their necks very long.

A row of heads stretching their necks to eat watermelons looks particularly funny.

Madam Xiao swallowed the watermelon in her mouth, wiped the watermelon juice from the corner of her mouth, picked up a piece of watermelon and handed it to Xiao Yunzhan, saying,

"Yun Zhan, come and eat some watermelon first. It's sweet, crisp and thirst-quenching. The watermelons from the deep mountains really taste good."

Madam Xiao raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and her eyes were full of smiles when she glanced at Lin Yiran.

I have never been short of food when I am with that greedy girl every day.

I tried all kinds of food, both those I had eaten and those I hadn’t eaten before, in this deep mountain area.

She originally thought that she would not be able to survive this mountain life, but now she feels that she can live another fifty years.

She doesn't feel uncomfortable anywhere on her body now.

Since she no longer had to rush to travel, she walked with everyone every day and ate more than before.

I eat well, sleep well, and my health is getting better and better.

In the past, she would often suffer from back pain and leg cramps in the mansion, but now she has no problems at all.

I am a little tired, but I feel very comfortable all over.

"Okay, thank you, mother."

Xiao Yunzhan put down the firewood in his hand, brushed off the ashes on his hands, and took the watermelon handed to him by Old Madam Xiao.

The bright red flesh made him salivate at the sight of it.

Seeing that there were no watermelon seeds on the flesh, his eyebrows raised slightly.

The watermelons that were tributed by the Western Liang Kingdom had white watermelon seeds on the flesh when they were cut, and the people had to spit out the seeds when eating.

At that time, the Ministry of Revenue specially saved those watermelon seeds and tried to plant them, but failed.

It is said that the watermelon seeds grown in Xiliang Kingdom were black, and the watermelons tributed to Daliang Kingdom were specially bred. The white watermelon seeds seemed to be sterilized and could not be used to grow watermelons.

We have to admire the Xiliang Kingdom for this. Over the years, the methods of growing and cultivating watermelons have not been passed down at all, and watermelon has directly become the number one product of Xiliang Kingdom's diplomacy.

However, it was obvious that the watermelon made by Lin Yiran was even better, as it didn't even have any seeds.

If the watermelon is eaten, it will be gone. How can we cultivate the next generation?
