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 1083 Thanks
Shen Yanming smiled and asked, “When did you come here?”
"Just arrived, not long ago." Wei Liang said.
"Then come in and sit down!" Shen Yanming let everyone into the room. Bi Qiaoan hurriedly got up from the bed and invited the family of four to sit down.
"Come, have some fruit." Shen Yanming opened the lid of the small milk pot and warmly invited the Wei family to start eating.
But Wei Liang came here to express his gratitude, so how could he eat the fruit of his benefactor? If it weren't for this, they wouldn't have hesitated to come here just now.
"Yanming, Qiaoan, thank you both so much. If it weren't for you, Weiliang and I would have been separated. I heard him say that if your Yanming hadn't found them in time, he and Jiahe would have died."
As Song Wenwan spoke, her eyes became red unconsciously. Thinking of those difficult days, her heart still ached.
"Okay, it's not that serious. Be good and stop crying!" Bi Qiaoan went forward to hug Song Wenwan, but Song Wenwan took two steps back and pointed at the clothes on Bi Qiaoan and said, "You just changed these, I hope you don't get them dirty."
Bi Qiaoan smiled and said, "Okay, then sit down and eat some fruit?"
This time they didn't act pretentiously and sat on the small stools. They took out some food from the small bowl and ate it in small bites as if they were savoring something delicious.
Bi Qiaoan asked: "What did the base give us to eat last night?"
"Fruit soup. They said there wasn't enough to share, so this is the only way to give everyone a taste."
Bi Qiaoan looked at the small milk pot at hand and suddenly felt that Wen Chao would be quite generous to them.
Song Wenwan noticed her gaze and said, "Your old Shen saved so many people in Su City, it's only right that he eats some fruit."
"It wasn't Old Shen who saved him, it was the guards. I heard that they found your Old Wei at the same time."
As for Wei Jiahe, she really hadn't heard from her husband Shen. If the young man hadn't appeared in front of her, she would have forgotten about it.
In fact, Shen Yanming didn't pay much attention to it. He was busy chatting with Chen Shunwei and others at that time, and might have ignored the child.
Wei Jiahe was the same, he didn't even bother to come up and make himself familiar. Otherwise, he could have gotten more good things from him.
"No, no, no, Yanming has made an invaluable contribution. Jiahe and I were sent to the base hospital as soon as we returned to Hai City. The doctor said that we had been suffering from hunger and cold for a long time. According to common sense, we should have reported to the underground long ago.
But we didn't, and neither did the others who were rescued. Although Captain Liang didn't say it explicitly, I know that if it weren't for your medicine, we would never have been able to return to Hai City smoothly. You are truly savior."
Shen Yanming frowned and thought to himself, that’s really not the case!
The reason why Wei Liang and his men were able to hold out for so long was entirely due to the energy crystal. Even if he didn't take action, they would have died in the end. But he was embarrassed to take on the title of savior.
Mainly because it is useless and troublesome.
So he shook his head and said, "This matter is very complicated. There are some secrets that you should not know. But I can tell you clearly that I only account for half of your awakening. The other half, I can only say that you are lucky."
Wei Liang smiled and didn't refute, but in his heart he denied the possibility of his other half.
Probably the best luck in his life was marrying Song Wenwan, which led to him meeting Shen Yanming.
The four members of the Wei family stayed here for more than half an hour and then left.
Shen Yanming packed up, picked up the bucket, and went to the well to fetch water. His family's four dirty coats had to be washed. Even if they didn't have to be washed manually, they had to look good to fool others.
Along the way, he found that many people were greeting him. Shen Yanming guessed that their experience in Su City might have been leaked.
He smiled in response, but didn't say anything. When he returned, he found that there were quite a few people sitting in the cave.
Yu Shui's family, Zhu Shiliang's family, Chen Shunwei's family and Wang Lai all came to express their gratitude.
Shen Yanming exchanged pleasantries with the man and then sent him away.
Put the dirty clothes into the basin and add water. The water turns black before you even scrub them.
He didn't rush to pour it out. Instead, he put the soaked clothes into the space, washed them clean, then took the basin, went out and poured the water into the bushes.
In the evening, Zhang Heping and Ji Kangyong came with their family members. When the two old men saw Shen Yanming, they burst into tears.
"Hey, Lao Shen, can you please not do such dangerous things in the future? It scared me to death. I was so restless every day that I lost several pounds."
"Yeah, you said you were going on an adventure, but why did you bring An An with you? You must have been lucky and came back safely. Otherwise, how would Qiao An and Nuan Nuan live? Wouldn't they be heartbroken?"
Shen Yanming smiled but said nothing. He felt guilty and couldn't tell the truth, but he would not reveal such a matter of life and death.
"It's okay, I'm back and everything is fine."
Zhang Heping restrained his emotions and asked Shen Yanming: "Did you gain a lot this time?"
Chen Yanming raised his eyebrows: "Of course!" Then he took out two egg-sized space stones from his bag: "Here, these are for you!"
As for the energy crystal, he didn't dare take it for fear that they would leak the secret.
Zhang Heping's eyes lit up when he saw the stone. He drooled for a few seconds before sternly refusing: "Old Shen, this is what you exchanged your life for, how can you give it to us? You should keep it for yourself!"
"Yes, Yanming, you have already given us one, that's enough. You finally found the space stone, so you can give it to Dijing and ask Engineer Jiang to make a big one for you so that you can pass it down to your descendants."
Shen Yanming laughed when he heard this, thinking that it was good enough to live well in the present, so why bother thinking about what would happen decades later.
But I am quite touched. These two brothers of mine are not the kind of people who are easily attracted by treasures, so we can be friends.
Even Qin Yiren, Li Wanwan, Xiao Pidan and Xiao Dousha took a quick look and then looked away, without the slightest trace of greed or reluctance.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were very happy. Just as they were about to give some more advice, they heard someone knocking on the door.
They looked at each other and wondered who this person was, coming here in the middle of the night.
Shen Yanming opened the door without even asking. As expected, it was the Li family outside the door.
Li Zhaozhao still looked listless, while Xu Yajing looked sarcastic and mean.
Old man Li is smart, but he is not young anymore. Old lady Li is a freeloader and has no say.
The boy, who was about ten years old, was lazy, greedy, and naughty all day long. But Xu Yajing treated him like a treasure, and no other child could compare to him.
The cave, which was already small to begin with, seemed extremely small in an instant with the addition of these people.
Li Zhaozhao glanced at the crowd and sneered, "You two families came over, but neither of you called me brother? Do you still consider me a brother? Especially you, Zhang Heping, you are my brother-in-law, but you don't even call me brother-in-law."
Veins on Zhang Heping's forehead were throbbing, he had no idea how this man became like this!
