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 636 Pick it up
Also, if people finally figure out what this lump of ice contains, we won’t talk about the good things, but if it’s bad, wouldn’t he be the first to bear the brunt of the consequences?
Even if there is no change in myself, I will be sent to the laboratory!
Well, I was too impulsive. It seems that I really shouldn't be the first one to speak out in front of others.
The smile on Shen Yanming's face froze again and again, and he finally decided to throw away the ice in his hand.
However, he didn't throw it very far, just to a secluded corner at the entrance of the building. If you don't pay attention, you can't see it.
"You're right, sir. I was impulsive!" Shen Yanming said seriously, then took off his gloves and pinched them with his fingertips, pretending that he didn't dare to touch.
This performance made the person who wanted to rush out to pick up a piece of ice to play with secretly feel lucky. Fortunately, he was a step slower, otherwise he would be as nervous and anxious as this handsome guy.
"Well, I was just talking nonsense. Maybe it's nothing, just ordinary ice cubes." The old man was a little embarrassed, feeling that he had just said something rude. But the words that came out of his mouth were his true thoughts.
Shen Yanming smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, it's okay, you are right. When facing unknown things, we should be alert. I was careless just now."
Seeing this, the old man also laughed. "Well, I'm an old man who was scared. I just want to spend my old age in peace. I don't have the courage of young people to explore and seek knowledge. Don't be surprised."
Shen Yanming nodded, said nothing, and went upstairs carrying his own thermos.
But I made up my mind that after they left, I would sneak out and pick up the ice cubes to take home.
When Shen Yanming returned home and opened the door, he heard the sound of a thermos boiling water in the kitchen.
He didn't expect that his wife and he had such a good understanding. He smiled and said, "I was just about to go home and boil another pot of hot water, and I found that you had already prepared it."
Bi Qiaoan was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "I'm afraid we have different purposes for boiling water."
"Hmm? What's going on?"
"You forgot to give the two babies a bath. The power is out so you can only do it briefly."
"Okay, I really forgot about it. Lend me some hot water from the stove. I'm afraid those people outside are freezing."
Bi Qiaoan didn't have any objection to this, but she was surprised: "Aren't they still playing snowball fights and making snowmen? How come they are shivering with cold in less than half an hour? This shouldn't happen."
Shen Yanming was also helpless: "The temperature outside has dropped. Without using a thermometer, I can clearly feel that the temperature has dropped again. It's probably minus 40 degrees Celsius in broad daylight. It's normal that they can't stand it."
"Then put some ginger slices in the hot water, the good kind." After Bi Qiaoan was surprised, he reminded Shen Yanming.
"Okay, I know." Shen Yanming nodded and went into the kitchen.
Not long after, the ginger soup in the kitchen was ready. Shen Yanming poured it into the thermos and carried it downstairs. Seeing this, Bi Qiaoan went to boil another pot. It was unclear whether it was for her own baby or for the people downstairs. Anyway, she prepared it first.
Shen Yanming's appearance was once again warmly welcomed by everyone. He didn't stay long, handed the thermos to Sister Du and went home.
He said that if they finished drinking the water, they could go to his house. If they went home, they could put the thermos downstairs or send it back home.
After Shen Yanming returned home, he and his wife gave the two babies a bath, and then the family of four curled up in the bedroom and fell asleep.
When they woke up, it was already dark outside. The couple didn't know what time it was, so they quickly took out their phones to check and found that it was already 7:30.
"He slept until late at night. Go and see if the ice outside has stopped." Bi Qiaoan muttered and pushed Shen Yanming.
Shen Yanming pointed his cell phone screen at the ground, put on his slippers and opened the curtains, only to see that it was pitch black outside and he couldn't see a thing.
"Ha, I forgot there was a power outage." Bi Qiaoan smiled awkwardly.
Chen Yanming pulled out two table lamps from the bedroom next door, lit one in the bedroom, and held the other in his hand, ready to go out and take a look.
Bi Qiaoan didn't stop him, but just told him to wear something thicker. The temperature was already dropping during the day, let alone at night.
Shen Yanming nodded and wrapped himself up like a bear. As soon as he opened the door, he saw his thermos standing quietly on the steps at the door.
Shen Yanming smiled and brought it back. It seemed that everyone had left, but they did not wake up the couple, or rather, they did not wake up after knocking on the door.
However, he still went downstairs. First, he wanted to see what was going on outside, and second, he was still thinking about the ice lump he had thrown away.
Shen Yanming walked to the bottom of the building, and sure enough, there was no one there. But it was still snowing outside, and every now and then a lump of ice fell.
He frowned, wondering if the ice had stopped in the middle and everyone took the opportunity to go home, or if they couldn't stand the cold and went back despite the danger of being hit.
But since there was no one around, he wouldn't bother about it for so long.
He looked around and found no one outside, so he bent down and picked up the ice lump he had thrown out during the day. He also picked up a few more that were not too far away.
Chen Yanming returned home contentedly with five or six ice lumps. The first thing he did when he entered the house was to take out a plate from the space to hold the ice lumps.
To be honest, he couldn't tell whether this thing was harmful or not, but he was extremely confident in the spiritual spring water and spiritual fruit, so he tended to be fearless.
Then put the ice lump under the light and observe it carefully. The round and smooth transparent object looks even more dazzling under the light. It is very transparent and bright. If we didn't know that this thing fell from the sky, it would be comparable to top-grade jewelry.
Chen Yanming clicked his tongue twice, put a few ice lumps into a transparent glass jar and sealed it, then took off the rubber gloves on his hands and left it alone.
Seeing this, Bi Qiaoan also came over to join in the fun, and then said, "Is it possible that this thing is not ice at all?"
Shen Yanming shook his head: "Who knows, but it is indeed icy."
Bi Qiaoan put down the bottle and said, "Okay, forget about it. Maybe the research institute has already stepped up its research."
"Well, what do you want to eat tonight?"
Bi Qiaoan chuckled: "Even if you want to eat something delicious, it's not convenient to make it. It's dark here, it's troublesome."
Shen Yanming also felt it was inconvenient, so he pinched his wife's cheek and said, "How about we just eat the ready-made food tonight? When the babies fall asleep at night, you can send me in and make up for the cooked food."
Bi Qiaoan nodded: "Okay!"
Upon seeing this, Shen Yanming took out food from the storage area and had a meal with Bi Qiaoan.
Until the two babies woke up, the couple put away the tableware, and then held one in each hand and started to coax them.
