Chapter 438
Fortunately, Yun Jinyi came back and rescued it in time.
The system squatted in the corner with lingering fear, far away from the flowerpot, fearing that it would be buried in it again.
Yunmian put down the flowerpot and looked well-behaved and innocent, as if she had never done anything bad.
Yun Jinyi did not scold her daughter because of the system. She just pulled her over and helped the child braid a cute little braid.
Yunmian held her mother's legs obediently, but her eyes were looking around smartly.
Just as she finished braiding her hair, she heard her mother ask her if she wanted to go out and play.
Yunmian is a little confused.
Of course she believed what her mother said that the world was safe, but at the same time, children who had experienced the end of the world would always have more concerns about the outside world.
What if the world suddenly ends after I get out?
Just like in her previous world, zombies suddenly appeared for no reason. At that time, Mianmian and her mother had no shelter outside and could only face the zombies on the street.
What if something unexpected happens after I go out? No matter how I think about it, it seems safer at home than outside.
But even with so many worries, Yun Mian still couldn't wait to go out and take a look.
She also missed what the world was like before the end of the world.
Normal life, normal pedestrians, no zombies, no danger, and prosperous scenes everywhere.
Yunmian wanted to go out and take a look.
Yun Jinyi knew what her daughter was longing for and what she was worried about, so after asking her, she did not urge the child to make a decision quickly. Instead, she took her to the game room to play with building blocks and think while playing.
What relieved Yunmian's dilemma was the video call from Jiang Yao.
Yunmian looked at the little girl on the screen curiously, and heard her asking her like a good friend how she was doing recently, what she had eaten in the morning, and whether she wanted to go out and play together.
Yunmian was a little surprised.
Because from Jiang Yao's words, she heard that she actually had three good friends.
Good friends... This word was difficult for Yunmian to have before.
Even though she has a healthy personality, her incomplete family makes her naturally inferior in the group of children, and those children always seize this opportunity to laugh at her.
After the doomsday comes, Yunmian has no need to make friends anymore. Children, women, and the elderly are the groups that will die the most in the doomsday, and they have little chance of even becoming zombies.
So just to live well requires all one's effort, and Yunmian doesn't have more energy to make good friends.
But in this world, she actually has three good friends?
After the call was hung up, Yunmian followed her mother's instructions, grabbed the light ball, and started playing with building blocks while listening to stories from the system.
A story about this body and several children in this world.
After listening to this, Yunmian held a building block and supported his face, looking thoughtful.
The system stopped at her head and said, "Mianmian, Jiang Yao is still waiting for you to answer her question. Do you want to go out and play with them?"
Yunmian squeezed the building blocks tightly and finally made up her mind: "I want to go!"
She raised her head and looked at Yun Jinyi: "Mom, will you always stay with me when we go out?"
The children still don't have much sense of security.
Yun Jinyi smiled and nodded: "Of course, I will always be with Mianmian, don't be afraid, this world is very safe."
The system also agrees with this statement. After all, this is a small world that has chosen a top student as the son of destiny. He will vigorously develop science and technology. Even if a war comes, it will be after the protagonist comes of age. And relying on the protagonist's ability, this country is likely to stand out in terms of military strength and at least have enough power to protect itself.
Therefore, the end of the world or something like that will definitely not happen in this world now.
With the double comfort from her mother and the system, Yun Mian's originally hesitant thoughts soon became firm.
In order to stop herself from being entangled or even regretting, Yunmian began to urge her mother to pack up and go out.
As long as I get out, I won’t regret it so much.
As the initiator of this meeting, Jiang Yao even organized all the itineraries for the four families for this two-day and one-night gathering.
She asked her mother to send a picture to the other three parents.
The picture shows her detailed itinerary that she carefully wrote and drew on a blank piece of paper with a pencil in her hand.
They were going camping in the suburbs this time, so they had to purchase daily necessities. With the help of Jiang Xue and Jiang Xue's assistant agent, Jiang Yao also wrote a list and asked her mother to send it over.
As Jiang Yao's mother, Jiang Xue was the first to show off her smart and capable daughter in the small parent group of only four people.
Yun Jinyi clicked on the picture, took a quick look at it, and then pulled the curious kid next to her to look at it together.
Yunmian knew some characters, but not many. In addition, Jiang Yao was weak and had trouble controlling the strokes, so she had difficulty recognizing them.
But with the help of her mother, Yunmian was able to understand the itinerary plan word by word.
After they arrived, they went to the foot of the mountain to eat, then bought some ingredients for the camping party in the evening, and then went up the mountain to play together.
After that, they can go up the mountain to set up tents, take photos, and cook. There is a stream nearby where they can catch fish and crabs. In addition, children can bring their own toys to share.
The next day, they could watch the sunrise on the top of the mountain and pick wild fruits in the mountains. Jiang Yao even asked her mother Jiang Xue to bring a set of mahjong. The feeling of playing mahjong in the mountains would probably be extra special.
Yunmian didn’t understand, but she felt that her mother seemed a little interested.
So the child silently became more determined to go out.
However, before her mother prepared all the camping supplies, Yunmian first met the two elderly people at home whom the previous Yunmian had always avoided.
They were very enthusiastic. Yun Mian, who came from the doomsday, had a keen sense of good and evil. These two old people gave her a much better feeling than Grandma Gu.
In addition, Yunmian was a very polite child, so she did not avoid it anymore. Instead, she carried the cat who ignored her and went to help her grandmother take care of the rose garden. She then went to play a messy chess with her grandfather. Later, she listened to the two old people telling many stories about her mother's childhood. Yunmian was very interested throughout the whole process, and she was so energetic that the cat was almost rubbed bald by her.
Only after the cat fiercely slapped a red mark from its paw on the back of her little hand did Yunmian finally say goodbye to her grandparents and the cat by her mother and set off on her journey.
"Mom, is there perfume in your car?" Yun Mian sniffed hard as she got in the car and asked, while patting the windows and doors with her little hands, subconsciously checking whether they were secure.
Even the system could see that Mianmian had a keen sense of smell and a keen sense of danger.
Although she seemed nonchalant, she was actually rehearsing in her head the dangerous scenarios that she might encounter later.
Yun Jinyi opened the car window, and after the car started, the fragrance of the car perfume dissipated a lot.
Yunmian sat in the car holding on to the seat belt, her eyes fixed on the front and the left and right sides the whole time.
She was looking at this new world, and seemed to be using this world to recall another desolate and ruined world.
Yun Mian didn’t know what the final ending of that world was. She died at the beginning of the apocalypse. But even though she was very young and left very early, she couldn’t help but hope that her world would get better again.
Yunmian was very cautious and did not talk to her mother while she was driving.
Perhaps it was because she had consumed too much energy before. Even though she was now on high alert for possible dangers, the depletion of her body functions had made her a little listless.
As the vehicle drove smoothly, the child's eyes slowly closed, and he curled up in the seat with his head tilted and slept soundly.
The system jumped from her head to her shoulder, checked the host's current physical condition, yawned slightly, and fell asleep peacefully in the host's shoulder.
It was also tired from being tormented by its host.
I feel tired.
The destination is a bit far from where I live, but there is no traffic jam on the road and the journey is smooth. By the time I arrived, the other three families had already arrived.
As soon as the vehicle stopped, Yunmian woke up dazed.
She rubbed her eyes, wiped away her tears, and turned her head to see three children running around the car.
Yun Mian was only familiar with Jiang Yao's face.
She became a little more alert, lowered her head to unbuckle her seat belt, and after the car door opened, she let her mother carry her down.
"Mianmian!"
“Sister Mianmian!!”
"Sister Mianmian!"
The three children called their own names, and after Yunmian got off the bus, they rushed up to her and hugged her.
Yun Mian was forced to jump on the ground in a daze, and her brain had no idea what was happening.
Is that a bit too enthusiastic?
The child was puzzled, and when he looked up, he met three pairs of sparkling eyes.
Meng Meng jumped and hung on her body, calling her sister softly, "Sister, why didn't you call me? I asked Auntie to make a lot of delicious food, I will share them with you later, and give you the most!"
Zhao Yu was also very happy. She came over and whispered, "Sister, are you living well at Aunt Yun's house? Are there other children bullying you? If so, tell me and I can protect you!"
Jiang Yao was also waiting for Yunmian's answer. Although Yunmian seemed to be much healthier than before, she still had to ask more questions just in case.
What if Mianmian just escaped from the terrible environment of the orphanage, and accidentally fell into another not-so-good pit?
Facing three pairs of eyes full of curiosity and concern, although Yun Mian was still a little unfamiliar, she would always instinctively respond to kindness with kindness.
So she curled her eyes and shook her head obediently: "No one bullies me. There are no other children at home, only a cat. Cats are very cute!"
Although she was hit on the hand by Maomao before she left, it was definitely not Maomao's fault!
The topic between children is always easily diverted.
As soon as Yunmian mentioned that she had a cat at home, Zhao Yu shared her own puppy.
So the four kids unknowingly strayed into a conversation.
Fortunately, apart from the initial confusion, Yunmian quickly integrated into this small group. The unfamiliarity of not seeing each other for a long time did not make them feel really strangers. Instead, they quickly started to have fun together.
After having lunch at the foot of the mountain, the four parents drove to the mountain to set up the tent.
Jiang Yao and Zhao Yu, as the older children, were responsible for taking care of the two younger sisters, so the two children discussed seriously where to go to play next.
Yunmian was pulled by Mengmeng to sit on the grass.
Winter is just a few days away, so although there is still some green on this mountain, the grass stems on the ground have turned yellow, and the scattered stones around are a bit uncomfortable.
Yunmian felt uncomfortable after sitting for a few seconds, so she just squatted there and picked up stones from the ground to play with.
Mengmeng saw her picking up stones and started picking up stones too.
The two children piled up these large and small stones together, and then competed to see who could throw the stones farther.
Jiang Yao and Zhao Yu were watching over them. Zhao Yu was a little worried that the ball might fall and hit someone else.
But there are almost no people below this mountain forest, and the surroundings are very empty. This is also the camping site that the four families had chosen before. The requirements are that it should be sparsely populated, safe and not be discovered.
Therefore, this time, not only the previous guests came, but also Mengmeng’s mother and Zhao Yu’s father.
Only Jiang Yao and Yun Mian's mothers came.
"I heard that there are some scary animals in the mountains." Zhao Yu sat aside and replenished stones for Yunmian and Mengmeng.
Jiang Yao was holding a notebook and pencil in her hand, writing and drawing. After hearing this, she thought about it and shook her head: "It shouldn't be. This place is not too far from the suburbs. Even if there are animals, they are small animals like rabbits and pheasants. I checked before I came here, and there are no large wild animals here."
In fact, according to the wildlife distribution map, it is impossible for there to be undiscovered wild animals here.
Zhao Yu: “…”
He felt that Jiang Yao knew a lot, but since the other party said so, it should be fine.
So the child put aside the last worry in his heart.
Yunmian won the stone throwing competition in the end.
She is a little older than Mengmeng and a little stronger, so this victory is not a big deal.
Moreover, competitions between children do not necessarily require a winner or loser to win a prize.
So for Yunmian and Mengmeng, this competition not only made them move their bodies and feel warm, but also quickly made them harmonious and happy.
Fearing that they would run toward the edge of the cliff again, after they stopped, Jiang Yao and Zhao Yu quickly pulled the two brave children away from that side.
"But the grass on the ground pricks my butt." Yun Mian covered her butt and refused to sit down next to them.
Mengmeng also nodded and put her little hands behind her back to try to cover her butt.
Jiang Yao's face froze, and her memory uncontrollably went back to a cart in a shopping mall on a certain day.
She was very sure that the Mianmian in front of her now was the Mianmian with new memories and personality.
But... why are these cotton balls so sensitive about the pain in their buttocks? !
Jiang Yao took a deep breath and went to find some cushions to cushion the little ones with delicate butts.
Of course, I won’t treat my butt badly…
"Sister, are we going fishing?" Meng Meng impatiently leaned into Jiang Yao's arms, holding her arms and rocking her. She had never fished before.
"We can't go fishing yet." Jiang Yao shook her head. Amidst the disappointed looks, she pointed at the parents who had set up their tents in a mess and said, "We have to wait until the adults have set up the tents and someone accompanies us to the creek. It would be very dangerous for children to go alone. If they fall into the water, we won't be able to pull them out."
Regarding safety measures, the safest thing to do is of course to ask a parent to go along.
"Then can we go and help?" Zhao Yu already had this idea in his mind.
Jiang Yao shook her head again: "It's better not to go..."
It was obvious that these parents had never done such a thing by themselves. After such a long time, except for Aunt Yun's tent which had been set up, the tents of the other three families were still limp on the ground, blown to and fro by the mountain wind.
If a few more children were to help, the situation would only get worse.
"But waiting is so boring..." Meng Meng sighed deeply, "If my parents can't set up the tent properly, then will we have no place to sleep tonight?"
"We can also sleep in the car." Yun Mian suggested seriously: "Close the car door and leave only a small gap in the window for ventilation. It is actually safer than sleeping in a tent."
The most important thing is that if you really encounter any danger, sleeping in the car allows you to drive away from danger as soon as possible.
This is all learned from experience in the end times.
It is still very useful now.
So the other three kids, including Jiang Yao, were actually a little tempted after thinking about it carefully.
"Then let's go talk to Mom and Dad and ask them to stop putting up the tent. We're going to set it up anyway... huh?!"
Meng Meng was about to say something when Jiang Yao quickly covered her mouth. She struggled a few times and looked up at the other person blankly.
Jiang Yao stretched out her hand and made a "hush" gesture.
After Meng Meng nodded, Jiang Yao whispered to the children, "Let's wait a little longer. Aunt Yun has gone to help them set up the tent. When it's done, we'll ask Aunt Yun to go fishing with us."
Jiang Yao looked left and right, up and down, and felt that the most reliable person among this group of adults was Aunt Yun Jinyi.
Compared to her, the other parents looked as clumsy as the children.
Of course, such words should not be heard, otherwise the angry adults will become petty and hold a grudge.
Yunmian had never had such an experience of whispering in secret with children of the same age. Even though this half day was filled with trivial matters and they hadn't even started playing yet, Yunmian was already full of expectations for everything in this new world.
Perhaps it is precisely because this journey is like a child's play at home that Yunmian feels a different kind of peace of mind from it.
I believe that every human being struggling to survive in the doomsday world dreams of returning to such a living environment.
During the waiting period which was not boring actually, Yunmian listened to Sister Jiang Yao telling everyone stories while keeping an eye out for her mother's figure passing through the crowd.
Until several tents were firmly standing on the small flat land on the top of the mountain, Zhao Yu couldn't wait to find out the several children's fishing rods prepared by his father. The four children looked at Yun Jinyi eagerly, and kept saying that they wanted him to accompany them to go fishing in the creek.
But they are not the only ones who want to go fishing, their parents also want to do so.
So after waiting for such a long time, the original fishing team of children suddenly expanded into a full-scale team. Everyone held the scoop nets and fishing rods that had been prepared in advance, and walked towards the mountain stream in unison.
"Mom, can we catch some delicious fish?" asked the pragmatist Yun Mianmian.
Yun Jinyi held her daughter's hand and walked carefully down the rugged path. Hearing this, she smiled and asked the child what kind of fish she liked to eat.
Yunmian's answer was not surprising at all: "I like to eat fish without bones! Mom, are there such delicious fish in the stream?"
"There is no such fish." Jiang Yao answered her from the front: "Mianmian, the small fish in the mountains have a lot of bones. If we catch some small fish later, we can make delicious fish soup for you. You don't have to eat the fish meat."
Yunmian nodded obediently: "Okay~ I will try my best to catch a lot of fish!"
After saying that, the child looked up at his mother again, then leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Mom, you don't like to eat fish with bones, right? I can pick out the bones from the fish meat later, so that you can eat the fish meat."
Well, this is Yun Mianmian’s unique partiality towards her mother.
She herself is impatient to pick fish bones, but if she is picking fish bones for her mother, Yunmian's patience will be extended indefinitely.
When Yun Jinyi heard this, a gentle smile flashed in her eyes. She rubbed the child's hair that was messed up by the wind, and gently agreed to her daughter's promise of filial piety.
The flow of this mountain stream is not fast and the water is not deep, but the coolness of the water in the mountain stream in late autumn can penetrate into people's bones. After Mengmeng's father reached out to feel it, he strictly forbade the children to roll up their trousers and try to go directly into the stream to catch small fish and crabs.
But kids always have more ways to play.
They tried fishing first.
The children's fishing rod is not heavy, but like a toy. The children first rummaged under the slightly rotten dead leaves and dug out a few earthworms and put them on the hooks. Then they imitated the adults and lowered the fishing rod line into the stream.
But they waited and waited, until the mountain wind blew the leaves off the trees and swirled them onto the water, but they never saw even one small fish take a bite of their bait.
"They must be too noisy." Meng Meng stood with her hands on her hips and glared angrily at the parents who were laughing and catching fish upstream with their trouser legs rolled up.
Jiang Yao sighed silently and said earnestly: "When you grow up a little bit, you will understand that these adults are very bad. Let me tell you a story."
Sister Jiang Yao’s short story class is open again.
The fable told this time is "The officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps."
The children listened to the story about the people being angry but not being able to speak out, and then compared it to the current situation, they all deeply experienced that feeling.
Yun Mian also felt that he had realized it.
At this moment, her fishing rod moved slightly, and a strong pulling force came from the fish hook in the water.
This Mianmian just wants to live an ordinary and boring life.
