Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...
Chapter 1002 Treasure Map
Chen Yan rolled his eyes and didn't even look at him: "Why, it's not possible? It's so cold, it takes a long time to wash clothes."
Qi Xili smiled and said, "Then wipe it slowly. I'll go back first."
"You're not staying for dinner?"
"Whatever you eat, you'll go broke. I'll just go back and make something for myself!"
"Okay, drive slowly."
Qi Xili waved his hand and left.
An An Nuan Nuan took out her homework and started writing. After Chen Yanming wiped the dust off his clothes, he washed his hands and prepared to cook.
Bi Qiaoan asked in a low voice: "How was your day? Did you gain anything?"
"There are no large caves there, only a few natural ones scattered around. I wanted to dig one myself, but the ground shakes every now and then, and I'm afraid it will collapse before I can finish digging it."
"It's better not to dig it up. Otherwise, just from the traces, you can tell that it's newly dug."
Shen Yanming also had this concern, so he nodded: “Let’s go to the mountains to have a look in the next two days. If it doesn’t work, just release a little here and there.”
Bi Qiaoan curled his lips and said, "I really don't know how much of our vests can be saved after this operation."
Shen Yanming's hands froze for a moment, and he shook his head: "Don't think too much, what's going on, we are all doing good deeds."
An An Nuan Nuan pricked up her ears to listen to her parents talking, and didn't add a single word to her homework book for a long time.
The two of them lowered their heads, feeling that their previous request had embarrassed their parents, but it seemed too late to stop them now.
Bi Qiaoan saw the expressions of the two babies out of the corner of his eye, walked over with a smile, rubbed their heads, and comforted them that everything was fine.
An An smiled warmly, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes.
For a period of time afterwards, after An An Nuan Nuan went to school every day, Shen Yanming would go to Yunling Mountain through space to explore the way.
In order to clear himself of suspicion, he would go to see the two treasures off every two days and show up in the guard team.
However, there has been no progress at Yunling Mountain, and no particularly large caves can be found in the mountain. After coming back to discuss with Bi Qiaoan, the two decided to just disperse and release them, so that the team would feel like they were looking for treasure.
During this period, the couple has dried a lot of wheat, rice and soybeans, which add up to at least 100,000 kilograms. If they put them into those holes, they don't know if they can fit them.
Shen Yanming found a cave sheltered from the wind and hid in it. He rubbed his hands vigorously and felt that his fingers were still a little stiff.
Since there were not many people here, Comrade Lao Shen took out a hot water bottle from his backpack, warmed his hands, and then took out paper and pen.
He drew a rough outline of the route according to his memory, and then drew a five-pointed star on the target cave. In order to avoid mistakes, Shen Yanming walked the route he planned again. After some revisions, he finally formed a treasure map.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Comrade Lao Shen was tired and hungry, so he found a corner to enter the space. After returning home to eat, he came to Yunling Mountain at night.
This time they really put food out, and Bi Qiaoan followed them out. An An Nuan Nuan stayed in the space and wanted to come out, but was rejected.
As soon as the couple came out, a mountain breeze blew past. Bi Qiaoan couldn't help but sneeze, which sounded particularly loud in the quiet night.
Shen Yanming quickly took out a blanket and wrapped her up, and the two of them walked along the route from cave to cave. Every time they arrived at a cave, Shen Yanming waved his hand and released a pile of food.
The two of them didn't have any extra bags for food, so they could only leave them outside. The food on the bottom was inevitably covered in dust, but that was all they could do.
The two of them were not very fast, and it was almost dawn when they finished. They quickly found a corner to enter the space, changed their equipment, especially the shoe covers on their shoes, and then they breathed a sigh of relief and used the temperature in the space to warm their bodies.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan rode their electric scooters back to the mobile home, made a simple breakfast, and called An An Nuan Nuan to eat together.
After finishing the meal, they sent the two babies out again. They were too tired to send them out. An An and Nuan Nuan didn't care, since the school was not far from home.
The couple slept soundly at home, completely unaware that Qi Xili, whom An An and Nuan Nuan met on the way, had been nagging them all the way. The two children knew that their parents had gone out to do good things, but they could not say anything. They could only listen to their godfather scolding their real parents.
An An thought to herself: "Mom and Dad, you have worked hard."
Nuan Nuan thought: "It's true that being a good person isn't that easy."
The morning passed quickly, and the couple rubbed their swollen foreheads, got up, changed clothes, and left the space. Just after finishing the meal, Qi Xili came back with the two treasures. He nags again, almost making Shen Yanming angry.
He nodded: "Okay, okay, can't I deliver it myself later?"
Qi Xili smiled with satisfaction: "Just remember it!"
Chen Yanming felt powerless and invited him, "Let's have dinner at home?"
Qi Xili thought about it and shook his head: "In the evening, I will bring food over."
Shen Yanming didn't force it and sent the person away. After the family of four finished their meal and rested for a while, the couple sent An An Nuan Nuan to school.
When they passed by the office building, the couple went in to use the restroom. It took a while, but it didn't waste time.
When they got home, the couple quickly entered the space. Shen Yanming turned on the computer and operated it, and a relatively freehand treasure map came out.
He put on rubber gloves, took out a pack of brand new printing paper from the storage area, unpacked it, selected the middle few sheets and inserted them into the printer, printed three copies, and then put the printed ones into the storage area. After finishing, he came out.
After school in the evening, Qi Xili sent An An Nuan Nuan back home. He was carrying a bag with rice and potatoes in it.
The couple smiled and didn't refuse. They took it and put it in the kitchen. The potato dumplings made in the evening were mixed with minced meat and were quite fragrant.
Bi Qiaoan deliberately slowed down and dragged his feet, and it was half past nine when he finished eating.
It was dark outside, and the wind was howling. Qi Xili was about to go home, and Nuan Nuan hugged his arm and asked, "Godfather, how about you stay here tonight?"
"Ah?" Qi Xili was a little confused. This was the first time that Nuannuan asked him to stay.
An An also came over and said, "Shall we play a game?"
Qi Xili was a little amused and asked them, "What do you want to play?"
Nuan Nuan took out a deck of cards from the bedroom: "Werewolf?"
Qi Xili: "...Who did you learn this from?"
"My dad! But there are only four of us at home, so we can't play. Godfather, can you stay and play with us?"
Qi Xili was in a dilemma. Staying overnight and inviting people to eat were two different things. It was so awkward for him, an outsider, to be here!
But I couldn't bear to reject An An Nuan Nuan.
Just as I was wavering, I heard Chen Yanming say, "Tomorrow is a day off anyway, so you can play with them. But you will have to sleep on the sofa."
Qi Xili didn't care where to sleep, but just asked: "Is this appropriate? Don't you feel embarrassed?"
"Well, it's okay. Once the bedroom door is closed, it's like two different worlds." Shen Yanming's eyes flickered.
