Chapter 302 - Plucking Grapes (1/2)

The white hair on Winston’s head had turned as hot as withered grass under the sun, and his tanned skin was also radiating a scalding temperature. When he heard Bai Qingqing’s gentle voice, it was as though he found an oasis in the desert, dispelling all the heat from his body.

He came out from the fields and fixed the net properly, rubbing his mud-stained hands before taking the watermelon from Bai Qingqing’s hands carefully.

“Thank you,” Winston said in his deep and slightly raspy voice with his head lowered.

With the animal skin firmly wrapped around her, Bai Qingqing kept fanning herself with her hand. “It’s so hot. There isn’t a problem with the rice, is there?”

“No problem. Another two days and it can be harvested.” Winston looked up at the skies. The skies were white and so clean that not a single cloud could be spotted. Worry mixed with joy could be seen in his eyes as he said, “Just as well that there’s no rain. This way, the rice won’t be damaged.”

“Mm.”

Seeing that Bai Qingqing was really hot, Winston said to Parker, “Hurry up and bring her back.”

“I’m not going back, I still want to find some fruits.” Bai Qingqing revealed her face from within the animal skin and said, “Have you ever seen purple fruits that grow in clusters? They grow on vines. And oh, some have green skins instead of purple. But all of them have very smooth skins.”

“Are you talking about bubble fruits?” Parker asked.

Bai Qingqing’s eyes lit up, feeling hopeful. “What do they look like?”

“Just like you said, the skin is very dirty and it can’t be washed clean. Moreover, it’s small and inconvenient for eating. The females don’t quite like to eat it, but my Mom does.” Parker asked, “You like that? I saw some today.”

“Really? Hurry up and bring me to take a look.” Bai Qingqing got excited. She prayed in her heart: Please let it be grapes, my grape wine depends on you!

Winston wolfed down the watermelon, only leaving behind a layer of greenish-white skin and tossing it on the floor. He said, “It’s dangerous out in the wild, I’ll come along too.”
