Bi Qiao'an lay weakly in the ice and snow, watching the heavy snow bury her alive. Thinking back to her three years of solitary survival in the apocalypse, her consciousness gradually blurred. ...
Then she took the baby bottle from Shen Yanming, picked up An'an and Nuannuan and gently coaxed them, "Babies, don't sleep yet, finish your milk before you rest, okay?"
When the pacifiers were put into the mouths of the two little ones, they sucked on them as if it were an instinct.
But its little head was still nodding, and even its eyelids were starting to droop.
Shen Yanming quickly went to the bathroom to soak his hands in hot water, then returned to the bedroom to pick up Nuannuan and hold her baby bottle.
But the child was still young, and even with the milk powder to attract him, he quickly fell asleep.
"They drank a little bit, so they won't catch a cold or get a fever."
Looking at the bottle with more than half a bottle of milk powder left, Shen Yanming calmly unscrewed the nipple, put the bottle into his spatial storage, then took the nipple to the bathroom to wash it clean, and then put it in the living room to dry.
Even though the space was full of supplies, the two of them didn't think of wasting any. The half bottle of milk powder was made with spiritual spring water, so it wouldn't spoil in the space. They could take it out and continue drinking it in case of any emergency.
The couple put their two sleeping babies into the crib, took a bath in the bathroom, and then lay down on the bed to drift off to sleep.
As for the space, the two of them hadn't been there for a long time.
Ever since the two little ones started showing signs of memory, the couple has tacitly avoided entering or leaving the space or taking things in front of them.
Moreover, An'an and Nuannuan have started to learn to speak. Children don't understand anything, so it's better to keep some things from them.
Another point is that the temperature is starting to drop outside. The couple needs to help their two babies learn to adapt to the environment.
The space is nice, but its temperature is constant. Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan are worried that if the two children stay in the space for too long, they won't be able to adapt to extreme cold or heat when they come out. In that case, the space would be like a cage for the two children.
I slept soundly through the night, unaware of how many people on other planets were staying up all night.
Ou Guo: "I told you Qinghua was exaggerating. It's snowing now, isn't it? They're making a big fuss over nothing, saying there's a problem with the ocean."
Lan Guo: "It's finally snowing. Otherwise, I thought we were going to experience another global drought."
Austria: "What's been going on in Qinghua lately? I wonder what those contract workers they hired a while ago are up to!"
Si Liguo: "Do you think this snowfall is related to the sea-level drop that Qinghua Kingdom mentioned? If it is related, I really can't see any connection between them. But if they are unrelated, how come there hasn't been a single drop of precipitation globally for more than half a year?"
Yu Jingguo: "We will resolutely follow in the footsteps of Qinghua! If they recruit people, we will recruit them; if they farm, we will farm; if they exchange for coal and oil, we will exchange for them! But what will we use to exchange for them?"
Zuo Siguo: "They're practically courting death, how dare they disobey? Let's wait until tomorrow morning and ask Qinghua Kingdom what's going on!"
......
Not only were a bunch of heads of state unable to sleep, but even Yuan Ruoxi from Suzhou couldn't sleep.
Of course, other people are sleepless because they're worried about national affairs. As for her, she's just being dramatic.
"My stomach hurts so much, Bao, do you have any brown sugar?" Yuan Ruoxi lay on the bed, clutching her stomach with both hands, her forehead covered in fine sweat, and staring at Tong Xianbao with a pale face as she asked.
Tong Xianbao was terrified and quickly stepped forward to hold her hand: "It's just your period, why are you in so much pain?"
"She probably caught a chill from playing in the snow last night," Lu Nanfang replied before Yuan Ruoxi could speak.
Tong Xianbao quickly looked at the person rolling around on the bed, wanting to confirm if that was the case.
Yuan Ruoxi nodded almost imperceptibly, then said, "Do you have any painkillers?"
"have......"
"It's not good to take painkillers during menstruation, as it can disrupt your menstrual cycle."
Tong Xianbao and Lu Nanfang's voices rang out at the same time, leaving Yuan Ruoxi at a loss for what to do.
"Then, brown sugar water?"
“You had menstrual cramps last month, so you drank it all.”
"Buy more!"
“I inquired a few days ago, and it turns out that there is a shortage of sugarcane in Suzhou. It seems that we will have to wait for a new batch of sugarcane to arrive before we can make up for the shortfall.”
"borrow......"
Tong Xianbao was somewhat embarrassed.
Ever since his and Yuan Ruoxi's theft of wheat was exposed, the residents here have been less willing to deal with them.
Although those people didn't say exactly what happened, they were all very secretive, treating them like monsters and keeping their distance as much as possible.
At this moment, Lu Nanfang stepped forward understandingly and patted Tong Xianbao on the shoulder: "Go and ask around. If all else fails, we can only ask Captain Li and the others for help. Ruoxi is not in good health, and her stomachache was not intentional. I believe Captain Li will not stand by and watch her die."
"Alright then." Tong Xianbao nodded, got up and went out.
Before leaving the house, he said, "Could you please look after her?"
Lu Nanfang smiled and said, "Okay!"
Then he bent down, picked up the thermos, filled an empty jar with water, and handed it to Yuan Ruoxi: "Put it on your stomach to warm it up first, and drink it when it's warm."
Yuan Ruoxi smiled gratefully and stuffed the glass full of hot water into the quilt.
The cup, which felt quite hot to the touch, was just the right temperature through her thermal undershirt. Yuan Ruoxi felt a warm sensation in her lower abdomen, which made her feel much more comfortable.
The two waited together for more than ten minutes, but Tong Xianbao still hadn't returned.
Yuan Ruoxi was getting anxious, but Lu Nanfang comforted her, "It's possible that Captain Li doesn't have it either; they're trying to figure something out."
"Yes, they're a bunch of grown men who don't even eat sugar normally, let alone brown sugar."
Lu Nanfang didn't say anything, but what she was thinking was: "If you, a spatial ability user, don't even have any supplies, then the others are even less likely to have any. In such an emergency, do you really want to hoard those supplies and suffer for yourself?"
Actually, Lu Nanfang was overthinking it.
Although Yuan Ruoxi was greedy, she wouldn't disregard her own health. She didn't take out brown sugar because she genuinely didn't have any.
When I was stealing supplies, all I was thinking about was filling my stomach. I didn't even consider seasonings like salt and sugar. Right now, the most abundant thing in my storage space is wheat; there's not much else.
Yuan Ruoxi felt extremely uncomfortable and regretted going out to see the snow in the early hours of the morning. But she hadn't done it on purpose; who could have imagined that her period, which was more than ten days late, would suddenly come like this?
She was initially afraid that she was pregnant, but now she actually hopes that she is.
Ugh! I don't know why, my periods have suddenly become irregular. It's like Aunt Flo is throwing a tantrum, arriving a few days early or late whenever she wants, and she even gets cramps every now and then.
It made her wish she could be reborn as a man.
Yuan Ruoxi's mind was in a mess; the pain in her lower abdomen had left her with little ability to think.
After waiting for a long time without receiving Tong Xianbao's reply, she bit her lip and took out a few potatoes from her spatial storage. "Afang, could you please cook some for me? I'm feeling unwell and want to eat something to nourish myself."
