Shen Yanming took out a picnic blanket from his backpack and spread it on the ground. Then, using the backpack as cover, he took out small cakes, bread, fruit and other food.

The family of four sat on the ground, and even without a moisture-proof mat, they didn't feel cold. The sun had warmed the stone path, making it quite comfortable to sit on.

An'an blinked her big eyes and asked Shen Yanming, "Daddy, is this a picnic?"

"Yes, any meal eaten outdoors can be called a picnic. But today it's just the four of us, so the food we prepared isn't that plentiful."

An'an nodded, seemingly understanding. Nuannuan picked a cherry and fed it to Bi Qiao'an: "Mommy, eat!"

Bi Qiaoan kissed Nuannuan's warm little face before tasting it, "So sweet, thank you, baby!"

Nuannuan chuckled and happily ate a cake.

Seeing this, An'an also fed Shen Yanming. Old Shen accepted everything offered and ate until he was half full before saying to Bi Qiao'an with a sigh, "Wife, do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?"

Bi Qiaoan didn't understand what he was talking about, so she didn't reply.

"You know, before the apocalypse, a visit here would cost several hundred yuan for a ticket. And it would be so crowded, you couldn't enjoy the peace and quiet at all. Now, even though no one maintains it, we can stand or sit wherever we want, and even find a spot for a picnic. It's great!"

Bi Qiaoan nodded, "Yes, every shot is a beautiful scene, no longer filled with crowds. Apart from being unstable, the environment is much better than before."

The family of four enjoyed a rare moment of peace and quiet until 4 p.m. before packing up to head down the mountain.

This time, we chose a different path than the one we took to get up the mountain; it looked much more secluded.

The family of four chatted and laughed, taking their time as they slowly walked down the mountain.

Suddenly, Shen Yanming noticed a huge beehive in the tree, and he could barely move.

"What's wrong?" Bi Qiaoan asked.

Shen Yanming pointed to the beehive, somewhat eager to try: "How about we collect some honey?"

Bi Qiaoan blinked. "Are you sure?"

Shen Yanming curled his lips, "Give it a try!" Qi Xili has been teaching for so long, it has to be put into practice.

"Honey, you take the two babies and go a little further away. Leave the rest to me." Shen Yanming was very confident. He even had Bi Qiaoan take pictures of the hive. "Let's keep some evidence so we can brag to Lao Qi when we get back."

Most importantly, this way, when I give honey to others in the future, I'll have a way of knowing where it came from.

Seeing that she couldn't stop him, Bi Qiaoan took out her phone to take a picture and posted it on her WeChat Moments: "Someone is showing off, insisting that he can pull out honey. Well, let's wait and see!"

Then I pulled my two kids far away.

An'an and Nuannuan didn't know why they abandoned Shen Yanming and even rebelled against Bi Qiaoan: "Dad?"

"Daddy's going to collect honey for the baby, so we have to stay far away. Otherwise, getting stung by a bee will hurt a lot. Hmm, it'll hurt as much as getting a shot."

An'an Nuannuan shuddered, remembering how she had cried her heart out when she got her injection. So she ignored Shen Yanming, grabbed Bi Qiaoan, and ran forward.

But their short legs meant they couldn't run fast. They were already panting heavily after only a couple of steps.

She plopped down on the ground, staring intently at her father, whose head and face were covered in blankets, in the distance.

Shen Yanming, whose eyes were completely covered by the picnic blanket, noticed the gazes directed at him and waved with a smile. Then he took out a lighter, a transparent plastic box, and sunglasses from his bag.

He gathered some dry grass from the ground, tied it together, and planned to light it to smoke out the bees. He had to be careful not to start a wildfire.

But before he even reached the vicinity of the hive, he was spotted by the passing bees and nearly attacked by a swarm.

Seeing that his attempt had failed, Bi Qiaoan burst out laughing.

Hearing the faint laughter coming from afar, Shen Yanming's lips curled into a smile. He thought to himself, "Little brat, if I don't get some honey today, I'm not Shen!"

Then he reached into his backpack, took out a packet of medicinal powder from his spatial storage, and lit it in a small earthenware jar. Before long, the space was filled with wisps of blue smoke.

Shen Yanming waved his hand, and saw the swarm of bees flutter twice before falling to the ground.

Five minutes later, no more bees fell. Shen Yanming raised an eyebrow, quickly climbed the tree, cut open the beehive, took out the honeycomb, put it in a plastic box, and then ran to Bi Qiaoan to show off his skills: "How about that? Am I amazing?"

Bi Qiaoan clapped her hands. "Darling, how did you do that?"

Shen Yanming smiled and said, "I have a secret weapon." Then he told him about the powder he had developed that could make people faint.

Bi Qiaoan nodded and asked, "Will those bees die?"

Shen Yanming answered with certainty: "No, I lit the powder and used smoke to fumigate him. The dosage was very small. He should be unconscious for a while and then come back to life."

Bi Qiaoan was taken aback. "Then what are you dawdling for? Hurry up and pack your things and leave. What if the bees realize what's happening and come looking for revenge?"

Shen Yanming disagreed, "How could that be? They're not that smart!" Although he said that, he still honestly put the plastic box into his backpack and hid it in his space under cover.

When An'an and Nuannuan saw their father return, they rushed up to him for a hug. Shen Yanming happily picked them both up and took his wife down the mountain.

He remained unperturbed, completely ignoring the bees. Unexpectedly, after walking for more than ten minutes, he suddenly heard a buzzing sound behind him.

Shen Yanming turned around, his pupils instantly dilating. Damn it, why did this bee chase after us?

They were densely packed together, clearly a whole hive. Shen Yanming thought to himself, "I only took half of your hives, I didn't wipe you out completely, why are you making such a fuss?"

Little did he know that even with his caution, he still managed to step on and kill a few bees. It's no wonder they're looking for revenge when they realize their comrades are missing. What's more, he'd accidentally gotten honey on himself, making him an easy target.

Shen Yanming was horrified as the swarm of bees drew ever closer. He put down An'an and Nuannuan and shouted to Bi Qiaoan, "Take the children and run!"

After saying that, he turned into another side road.

Shen Yanming thought that since he was the one who caused the trouble, he should take the blame. As he ran forward, he didn't forget to take out the medicine powder from his backpack and repeat his old trick.

Wisps of smoke drifted from in front of him to behind him. Shen Yanming listened to the soft popping sound and breathed a sigh of relief.

He only stopped and turned around when he finally felt that there was no movement behind him. Seeing that the surroundings were empty, he was relieved that he had escaped a disaster.

This time, Shen Yanming dared not let the fire in the earthenware pot go out, in case a bee suddenly appeared. So he carried the "smoke" back to find Bi Qiaoan.

To his surprise, when he found the mother and her two children, he was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
