The sky, without a single cloud, is an endless expanse of blue during the day and an endless expanse of black at night.
After six months of rain, the sky is clean and clear. On this night, the stars are like diamonds adorning the black velvet, both beautiful and mysterious.
Shen Yanming sat next to Bi Qiaoan, looking up at the sky where the stars twinkled like they were blinking.
"Why isn't it here?" someone asked in confusion.
"Don't just stare at one place. You need to look in all directions. Every meteor appears in a different place and moves extremely fast, disappearing in an instant."
There! Bi Qiaoan pointed at the shooting star, but the shooting star streaked across the sky and disappeared.
"It disappeared before I could even finish making my wish!" Bi Qiaoan pouted and complained to Shen Yanming, feeling wronged.
Shen Yanming knew that Bi Qiaoan was just saying it, so he reached out and hugged Bi Qiaoan, "There will be more shooting stars later. Just make a wish. If one shooting star disappears, another one will immediately make up for it."
Okay, okay, you make a good point!
Sure enough, the closer to the predicted maximum time, the denser the meteor showers became.
Until nearly eleven o'clock, meteors streaked across the sky one after another, like raindrops.
Bi Qiaoan leaned against Shen Yanming's chest and made a wish in her heart that she would be with him forever.
Meteor showers are spectacular, but looking up for a long time can cause neck pain, and besides, you can only see similar images over and over again.
After satisfying their curiosity, many people went back to their tents to sleep, driven by their biological clocks, including Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan.
By 1:30 a.m., there were not many people left on the grassland. Bi Qiaoan was half asleep in her tent, but Shen Yanming had already woken up.
Seeing that it was almost time, Shen Yanming woke Bi Qiaoan up. After Bi Qiaoan calmed down, Shen Yanming led her out of the tent and headed towards the gate of Qingli Mountain.
The two walked for nearly half an hour before reaching the entrance of the scenic area.
Shen Yanming knocked on the door of the security room and waited for a while before someone came out, verified his identity, and let him through.
Shen Yanming thanked the security guard and slipped two packs of cigarettes into his hand. The security guard was very satisfied and assured Shen Yanming that he would open the door for him no matter when he returned.
Shen Yanming smiled and nodded, then put his arm around Bi Qiaoan and walked out of the scenic area. After walking another hundred or two meters, they noticed a black sedan parked on the side of the road.
Shen Yanming stepped forward, opened the car door, and let Bi Qiaoan sit in the back seat. He then got into the passenger seat and the car started moving.
Bi Qiaoan looked at the driver's seat and thought she recognized the person.
"Lie down in your seat and take a nap. I'll wake you up when we get there," Shen Yanming said, turning to Bi Qiaoan.
Bi Qiaoan nodded, disregarding her image, and leaned back on the car seat, closing her eyes and falling asleep.
I didn't actually fall asleep, but I felt much better.
Half an hour later, the car stopped at a warehouse.
Zeng Yiming took the key out of his pocket. "Everything you want is inside."
Shen Yanming took the key, opened the warehouse, and only after turning on the lights did he realize that the several hundred square meter warehouse was completely filled.
There were piglets, lambs, calves, foals, as well as chicks, ducklings, goslings, quails, and in the corner there was a box of bees and buckets of fish, shrimp, and crab fry.
Turning my gaze to the other side, I saw saplings about the thickness of a little finger and half a meter long, each with a handwritten label attached.
Turning his gaze again, he saw rows of burlap sacks neatly arranged against the wall. Shen Yanming knew that these were the native seeds he had instructed Zeng Yiming to acquire.
"You didn't explain in detail at the time, so I just prepared these according to my own ideas. I don't know if they'll be okay," Zeng Yiming explained when he saw Shen Yanming examining them.
"What do you mean 'can it work'? Be confident! This is absolutely amazing! I never expected you to prepare so much!"
Shen Yanming was genuinely surprised. He had only given Zeng Yiming a few simple instructions, but Zeng Yiming's preparations far exceeded his expectations.
For example, Shen Yanming only instructed that some poultry and livestock should be provided, but Zeng Yiming prepared free-range chickens, guinea fowl, speckled chickens, black-boned chickens, yellow cattle, dairy cows, yaks, goats, sheep, etc., with different breeds and males and females.
Shen Yanming only told Zeng Yiming that he needed to prepare a few jackfruit trees, persimmon trees, and chestnut trees, but Zeng Yiming took the initiative and found some small fruit tree seedlings that he could find.
The same goes for tea trees and coffee trees. Zeng Yiming found many varieties and even expanded the scope by preparing a lot of nut trees and ornamental flowers and trees.
Seeing that Shen Yanming was satisfied, Zeng Yiming also breathed a sigh of relief. "By the way, why did you ask me to prepare all this? It's like we're starting a farm."
"Yes, I'm thinking about that. Who knows, I might actually find a small mountain valley to farm and raise chickens," Shen Yanming said with a smile.
Zeng Yiming didn't believe it. "How could someone like you be so capable? You're a big shot!"
Shen Yanming didn't explain much, "Thank you for your hard work this time."
Zeng Yiming waved his hand, "It's no big deal. It's just a few extra trips. Besides, you've already given me the benefits."
Shen Yanming nodded, "Gathering so much stuff in such a short time must have involved some favors. I appreciate it. If you ever have any difficulties in the future, just come to me, and I'll definitely help if I can."
"Okay, your promise is more valuable than anything else."
After receiving the reward from Shen Yanming, Zeng Yiming didn't linger. He smiled and said goodbye to Shen Yanming. Shen Yanming told Zeng Yiming to be careful on his journey and to send him a message when he got home.
After Zeng Yiming left, Shen Yanming checked the warehouse one by one and found nothing unusual. He then checked the animal cubs and plant seedlings and, after confirming that they were alive and well, Bi Qiaoan put all the cubs, saplings and fish fry into the space planting area.
Bi Qiaoan used her mind to confine the cubs to the grassland at the foot of the mountain, poured the fish, shrimp and crab fry into the lake below the mountain, and put the beehives into the space garden. Bi Qiaoan did not plan to interfere much and let them develop freely.
After collecting all the living creatures, Shen Yanming put the native seeds in the corner into his spatial storage area.
“The high-yield seeds we bought before were all cultivated and basically cannot be saved for propagation. Even if they were saved, the traits of the next generation might not be ideal. Although these native varieties have low yields, they can be naturally saved for propagation and their traits are stable,” Shen Yanming explained to Bi Qiaoan.
Bi Qiaoan nodded, not paying much attention, and the two of them quietly waited for the delivery person to arrive.
About half an hour later, Shen Yanming heard the sound of a car approaching.
Upon opening the warehouse door, a medium-sized truck was parked at the entrance, and three burly men were unloading things.
Upon seeing Shen Yanming emerge, the driver quickly said, "Mr. Shen, we've brought everything. Would you like us to unload it here, or deliver it to your home?"
