In the days that followed, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan learned how to slaughter various animals and how to make traps.
Although they were given few opportunities to try, everyone kept the key points firmly in mind, waiting to study them in depth when needed.
The couple would learn skills outside every day and then practice them online when they got home.
The little animals in the space are very clever, but they lack vigilance and always fall into the traps.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan confirmed the effect and both thought it was good. At least from now on, they would have a skill to cover for each other in front of others.
Days passed by, and soon it was early March.
As the weather warms and the ice and snow melt, the bare tree trunks begin to turn slightly green, revealing a hint of life within them.
The couple chose a weekend and took their two children back to Qingyu Community.
An'an and Nuannuan have learned to walk now, but they are not very steady and wobble like little penguins.
The two children sat in the car, watching the scenery rushing by outside with curiosity, and asked Bi Qiaoan, "Mommy, where are we going?"
"Go home!"
"Didn't we just leave home?"
"Yes, Mom and Dad have several homes. We're going back to another one."
Is it the same home as in my dreams?
Bi Qiaoan paused, then smiled and said, "Yes, but they look different. You guys went there before, but you were probably too young to remember."
An'an and Nuannuan nodded seriously, "We'll definitely remember this time, we're big babies now."
Bi Qiaoan smiled, finding the two babies incredibly adorable. Their brain development far surpassed that of children their age; their language and logic were unlike those of ten-month-old babies.
So whenever someone asks about the two children's ages, Bi Qiaoan intentionally says they are older, telling them they are two years old.
An'an and Nuan Nuan seemed to know their mother's concerns, so they rarely spoke in front of outsiders, except for simple greetings.
Shen Yanming also felt very proud to have such a son and daughter. He smiled and reminded them, "We will see many uncles in a little while. They are all your parents' friends. You must be polite and take the initiative to greet them. Just don't mention anything about the dream."
An An nodded warmly, this was already ingrained in her bones.
They vaguely knew that "dreams" were a magical place, completely different from what they saw and experienced now.
However, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan repeatedly forbade them from telling anyone about their dreams. Otherwise, they would never see their parents again.
The two children were terrified and cried for their parents, promising never to tell anyone about their dreams.
The couple knew this was a potential problem, after all, the babies were too young to understand much. But regardless, they needed the space. They couldn't just keep it locked away for fear of the two babies revealing their secrets.
That would be such a waste!
Like the two of them, they can spend time with their two kids during their work hours, but they have to keep them away from home for morning and evening training sessions. Especially during practical classes, they can't exactly bring the kids to the site to learn how to butcher chickens and sheep.
Sigh, the world is still not peaceful, and the little baby suffers too!
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan studied various kinds of knowledge desperately, fearing they would be caught off guard when danger struck. Even with their spatial abilities as a backup, humans are ultimately social animals; they can't just mingle with everyone and rely on their spatial abilities.
What's the difference between that and courting death?
The couple were both lost in their own thoughts, but neither spoke aloud. Bi Qiaoan softly described the scenery along the way, then said to An'an and Nuannuan, "Mom and Dad might have to stay here for a couple of days. Be good, shall we go up the mountain together?"
Actually, it's Qingning Mountain. Bi Qiaoan wanted to go and see if there were any mushrooms left in the place where she had once scattered spores.
But it hasn't rained lately, so even if it did, we probably wouldn't be able to find it. Oh well, let's just treat it as a picnic and have some fun with the kids.
An'an and Nuannuan were overjoyed and kept asking Bi Qiaoan, "How high is the mountain? Are there tigers, lions, or wolves on the mountain?"
And also, "Any fruit?"
Bi Qiaoan was both amused and exasperated. It seemed she had memorized the mountains in the space and was making comparisons.
She could only tell the truth: "No, the mountain we're going to is still in a human settlement. It's not high, and there's a lot of human activity there, so there are only small animals like snakes, insects, and rodents on the mountain."
The large wild animals you mentioned live in remote, deep forests. They are very fierce and will eat people.
An'an and Nuannuan asked in confusion, "Mom, the big yellow tiger, little gold lion, and gray wolf on the mountain are all very friendly. They even let us ride them."
Bi Qiaoan was taken aback and quickly corrected the two children's misconceptions, "Babies, you need to know that dreams are different from the outside world. Animals in dreams are docile because they are bound by laws in dreams."
The animals outside, driven by instinct, are inherently opposed to humans. If they have ample food, they might not attack humans. But if they are hungry, a battle will inevitably ensue.
Although they weren't sure if the two children could understand, the couple always treated each other as equals and explained things to each other.
The world has changed; there isn't much time left for them to grow slowly.
Therefore, the couple rarely hides anything from each other and tells each other everything they know. Even if the two children don't understand now, they will when they grow up.
An'an and Nuannuan nodded their little heads in confusion, not understanding why the animals outside were different from those in their dreams.
Shen Yanming gave an example: "When you're hungry, don't you want to eat?"
"Yes, Dad, I want to eat meat!"
"That's right, those animals need to eat meat when they're hungry. But if they don't have meat, how will they fill their stomachs? Of course, they'll eat whatever's available. If you two little ones were standing in front of each other, wouldn't they just snatch you up in one bite?"
An'an and Nuannuan used their clever little brains, and instantly their eyes welled up with tears: "No, don't let the tiger eat us!"
Shen Yanming smiled: "So you should stay with your parents. Your parents will protect you."
The two children nodded obediently: "Thank you, Daddy. We'll be good."
The couple smiled knowingly. They had actually considered that it would be wonderful if their two children could inherit the space or have the right to use it. But it was just a thought; heaven had already given them an incredible opportunity, and they couldn't let them have unlimited power.
Shen Yanming drove slowly and soon arrived at Qingyu Residential Area.
Passing by the security office, he parked his car and knocked on the door to see who was on duty that day. He found a familiar face, but couldn't recall the name.
"Mr. Shen, you're back!"
Shen Yanming nodded: "Yes, are you on duty today?"
"Yes, Captain Chen's wife is pregnant, and he took the day off to accompany her to her prenatal checkup."
