Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 717: Chapter 286 Meishan Resources, Father-in-law’s Appreciation_2

"Mr. Liang, the persimmon grove isn’t far away, it’s just up ahead. Every year in late autumn, the village boys would come here to collect persimmons."

"These persimmons may be small and have seeds, but they are really sweet."

Old Cripple sighed as he spoke to Liang Yuan about the wild fruits on Meishan.

Liang Yuan had been to Meishan before, but it was only in June for picking and eating Yang Mei. He didn’t know that there were wild persimmons on the mountain.

Yang Mei laughed and said, "I used to eat a lot of persimmons when I was young. Besides persimmons, there are wild chestnuts, wild kiwis, wild grapes, and many other wild fruits."

Liang Yuan, hearing this, couldn’t help but say, "With so many fruits, there should be quite a few mutated fruits."

Yang Mei, curious, asked, "Uncle Cripple, are there many mutated fruits on this mountain?"

Old Cripple laughed and said, "Indeed, there are quite a few. Otherwise, why do you think so many people in our small village have become superpower users?"

Liang Yuan suddenly realized, indeed, Meishan Village has a population of a few hundred people, with more than fifty superpower users, which is quite a number.

After all, in Yunquan Temple alone, he killed no less than thirty superpower users.

There are still twenty or thirty superpower users in Jieshi Academy.

Given the population base of a few hundred people, the proportion is actually quite high.

It turns out that all of this is because there are so many mutated fruits on Meishan.

Liang Yuan couldn’t help but sigh again, Meishan is truly a treasure land.

As they walked, Liang Yuan indeed saw many terraced fields.

Some terraced fields were abandoned, overgrown with weeds.

It was obviously because no one was tending to them.

If managed properly, many crops could be planted here.

However, there were also signs of replanting in some terraced fields.

Obviously, someone had not forgotten to plant and store food even during the great flood.

After walking a few kilometers, Old Cripple took the lead in climbing over the railing of the walkway and headed into the woodland.

Everyone else followed him up.

The muddy ground was made more slippery by the rain, but there were also many broken branches and plants laying in the mud.

There were even some bricks and stones laid down in the mud.

Clearly, this path is frequently used by people.

Liang Yuan held Yang Mei’s hand, stepping on the stones, appears to step on the mud, stones, and branches.

But in reality, he used spiritual telekinesis as steps, with his feet stepping on the telekinesis, not truly touching the mud.

Therefore, he walked all the way without getting his feet dirty or getting wet from the rain.

"We’re here, we’re here."

Old Cripple shouted to the people behind.

Liang Yuan and Yang Mei looked up to see the persimmon trees of varying sizes in the sloped woodland.

Some were as thick as thighs, others only as thin as two fingers.

The ground was covered with thick layers of leaves, partially rotted under the impact of rainwater.

Even in such an environment, the trees were not lacking in earth power and nutrients.

What drew attention were the small persimmons hanging from the branches.

Not only on the trees, but there were also many fallen on the ground.

Some were the size of eggs, others the size of kumquats.

These wild persimmons were not as large as the cultivated ones.

But they all glowed with orange-yellow luster, looking very appealing.

Everyone immediately bent down to pick up the small persimmons from the ground.

Old Cripple turned back and shouted, "Mr. Liang, the Fire Stone was found under some leaves around here, you can look around, I’ll get busy."

Liang Yuan nodded and said, "You all go ahead."

He casually picked up a ripe persimmon from the ground, used telekinesis to collect some rainwater to wash off the dirt on the surface.

Then he peeled off the thin skin, and juice immediately flowed out.

Liang Yuan licked it, feeling the sweet and delicious taste of the persimmon fill his mouth.

He put the entire persimmon in his mouth, chewed a bit, and spat it out.

There were four or five nail-sized seeds.

Yes, wild persimmons have seeds, and the seeds occupy most of the persimmon, with very little flesh.

Modern cultivated persimmons are completely different, not only are the seeds transformed into soft edible parts, but the size is also increased several times.

However, for the people taking refuge in Meishan, these persimmons were already precious nutritious fruits.

They contain a large amount of vitamins to supplement essential trace elements for the human body.

Compared to the people of Meishan, Yangshan’s resources are too scarce, not to mention fruit trees, there aren’t many crops either.

The reason, of course, is that Yangshan is a tourist area, mostly covered with pine, bamboo, and other evergreen trees.

Fruit trees in tourist areas are not favorable, likely to be cut down by staff.

Yang Mei also ate one, her eyes brightened, and said, "So sweet, little brother, I’ll pick some to take back for Wenwen, Ding Yan, and Yanyan to taste."

Liang Yuan nodded with a smile and said, "Alright, I’ll go look around for the Fire Stone."

"Okay, you go ahead."

Yang Mei nodded, immediately joined Old Cripple and others, began picking persimmons.

Liang Yuan spread out his spiritual power, starting to search under the leaves for various stones.

Before long, he discovered a white stone exposed thirty meters away.

This white stone emitted a faint halo, completely different from normal stones.

Liang Yuan quickly walked over, brushing aside the surrounding dry and yellow leaves.

"Attributeless Superpower Stone."

Liang Yuan’s eyes flashed, gently applied force with his hand, and dug the whole stone out.

The stone was the size of a fist, and its entire body looked like white jade—a quite pure attributeless superpower stone.
