There's nothing we can do; the person is dead, how can we compare them to the living?

During the Spring Festival, the amount of gifts sent from the capital city doubled once again. This gift certainly excited everyone.

Yes, even if the planet's environment is harsh, they still have space-age ability users. As long as Captain Li is there, they have nothing to fear.

That year, Shen Yanming did not go hunting. It was too cold outside, and going out would nearly kill him; he didn't want the hassle.

However, they still released a batch of prey on Cloud Spirit Mountain, though not as rampant as before. They kept it within reasonable limits, and the guards didn't even notice anything amiss.

Shen Yanming also prepared ginger slices for everyone and, estimating their return time, brewed some medicinal soup at the base entrance.

In the dead of night, everyone returned. The group was exhausted, their clothes tattered, clearly indicating they had been attacked.

Li Gangtie had injured his leg, and Qi Xili, his face dark with anger, supported him. Shen Yanming rushed over upon seeing this and asked anxiously, "What happened?"

"Cough, we've encountered wolves!" Li Gangtie said nonchalantly.

"Didn't you bring weapons? How come it's still so serious?"

Everyone fell silent.

Shen Yanming didn't ask any further questions, and quickly served everyone herbal soup to warm them up.

"It's nothing, Old Li just got a scratch on his leg. He'll go to the hospital later to get it cleaned and bandaged, and that'll be fine."

Shen Yanming nodded and took out the medicine he had on him.

"Here, take one first. When you get to the hospital, the doctor will disinfect it for you."

Li Gangtie knew what it was, and without hesitation, he ate it.

Shen Yanming then gave the medicine to the others, and none of them asked any questions; they all took it.

Then we went to the hospital together, and by the time everything was done, it was already dawn.

"Thank goodness no bones or tendons were broken. This was far too dangerous," the doctor muttered.

The group didn't seem to care and prepared to leave.

"Be careful when you get back. Don't do strenuous activities and don't get it wet," the doctor called out to their retreating figures.

Li Gangtie waved his hand and shouted at the top of his lungs, "I know."

Then he looked at his tattered clothes and thought, "What a waste of such nice clothes."

Qi Xili slapped him on the back: "You're lucky you didn't lose your life. Tell me, how stupid are you!"

Li Gangtie looked embarrassed, pursed his lips, and seemed a little aggrieved.

Seeing this, Shen Yanming took the people home and then left. He had no idea what had happened to them.

They were incredibly tight-lipped, not letting a word slip out. Since that's the case, he decided to stop thinking about it. After all, he wasn't a gossipy person.

The canteen was still bustling with people on New Year's Eve, but Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan didn't join in the fun. Instead, they had a big meal at home and watched the live stream on their tablets.

The expressions on Li Zongmengguan and Li Sikai's faces were fairly good, which showed that those little blue fruits were indeed effective.

The couple ate their meal with a sense of relief.

However, there was nothing new in terms of song and dance, and the space wasn't upgraded either, so the whole New Year's Eve passed by uneventfully.

After the family of four finished their meal, they went into the space. An'an and Nuannuan took off their heavy cotton-padded coats and started practicing boxing in front of the villa.

After playing, I was covered in sweat. I took a shower in the bathroom before playing around in my tank top and shorts.

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan tidied up the fruits, vegetables, and grains in their space, and then slaughtered and stored a batch of livestock, fish, and shrimp from the fishpond on the grassland before returning to their mobile villa. The two snuggled together on the sofa and watched a New Year's movie.

"Things are really not what they used to be," Bi Qiaoan sighed.

Shen Yanming turned his head and kissed her cheek: "As long as we're together, that's enough."

The family of four spent three whole days in the space, only coming out on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Because of Xiao Lan Guo, Li Sikai was in good condition, so Chief Alliance Officer Li asked Alliance Officer Wen to convey his New Year's greetings and did not specifically call Shen Yanming to answer the phone.

Wen Chao felt that it would be fine to let them know when they met, and there was no need to make a special trip. So the family of four rested well for three days and three nights without being disturbed.

On the fourth day, Qi Xili arrived. As soon as the door opened, An'an and Nuannuan called out, "Godfather!" and rushed over to him.

Those movements were so practiced, even Shen Yanming was envious.

Qi Xili smiled and carried the two children to the sofa before going back to bring the things in: half a bag of sweet potatoes, two pheasants, a rabbit, three fish, and ten pounds of pork.

"Here, not much, for An'an and Nuannuan to eat." Qi Xili waved his hand generously and said magnanimously.

"You brought all of your share, didn't you?" Shen Yanming asked after taking it.

Qi Xili nodded: "I'm all alone, I can't eat much, so why not use it to nourish my baby?"

Before Shen Yanming could refuse, Nuannuan hugged his arm and said, "Godfather is the one who needs to nourish his body. Nuannuan and brother are strong enough."

An'an stretched out her little arms, clenched her little fists, and bent them upwards to show that she was very strong.

Qi Xili smiled as he looked at the two of them with their smug little expressions.

"It's alright, your godfather is capable; he can hunt a lot of game. Your father didn't go this year, so you didn't get to eat any meat, did you, my darlings?"

The two kids really wanted to tell me they ate fish, shrimp, and hairy crabs. But even after opening their mouths, they couldn't say it out loud.

They lowered their heads in shame, which, in Qi Xili's eyes, made them look wronged.

Old Qi looked up at the two of them and said, "Hurry up and stew some meat for my little darling!"

The couple were both amused and exasperated, and Shen Yanming, seeing this, stopped refusing.

Take the meat to the kitchen, leave one fish, cut off a piece of meat, and put the rest in the wooden basket outside the window.

If you can't put it in, just hang the bag outside the window and make sure it won't fall.

A natural refrigerator, nothing more.

The couple cut the meat into chunks, sliced ​​the fish, and took it to the living room to make braised pork and boiled fish.

Before that, I stir-fried some mushrooms and shredded potatoes.

They heated up a few steamed buns, and the group began to eat. Qi Xili was filled with emotion, feeling that this was the kind of life a person should live.

"I told you I should give you the meat. With my cooking skills, it would be a waste to keep it."

Shen Yanming smiled and said, "My wife is really good at making jerky. I'll have her make some for you later."

"No, that's for An'an to keep warm. If I get hungry, I can just go outside and get some more," Qi Xili said, rubbing his stomach.

"Come on, you've got to say that. You encountered wolves last time you went out. What about next time? What if something happens?"

Qi Xili remained silent. However, he still didn't reveal what had happened before.

"Don't worry, Qiao An and I have never mistreated An An and Nuan Nuan. You can ask them if you don't believe me!"

Qi Xili looked at the two children and saw An'an and Nuannuan nod very firmly.

Qi Xili shrugged: "Fine, fine, I know you two are capable, I won't go, okay?"

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan smiled, quite satisfied.

Afterwards, she made a whole bag of pork jerky for Qi Xili, which made the old man's eyes light up and a bright smile appeared on his handsome face.
