The two children had no idea what making a wish was. They only saw Shen Yanming clasp his hands together and open and close his mouth, saying words they couldn't hear.
Turning to look at her mother, she found that Bi Qiaoan was doing the same thing.
After they finished making their wishes, I said to the two children, "When you see a shooting star, you should make a sincere wish, which is what you want most or what you want to see most. Then your wish is very likely to come true."
For example, I want to stay with my mom and dad forever!
The two children have a strong learning ability. They immediately put their hands together, closed their eyes, and said, "I want to be with Mommy and Daddy forever!"
The couple was amused by their two adorable children and immediately picked them up and showered them with kisses. An'an and Nuannuan dodged and laughed, feeling extremely happy.
Shen Yanming waited until the two boys had finished laughing before hugging them and pointing to the sky to teach them to recognize constellations.
Actually, that's not the point. The point is to learn how to identify directions by looking at the stars.
They might be too young to remember. But regardless, cultivating this scientific awareness from a young age is very important.
At first, the two children listened very attentively, but after a while, the sound in their ears became like a lullaby, and before they knew it, they had fallen asleep peacefully and warmly.
Shen Yanming carried the two babies into the tent, sat with Bi Qiaoan for a while, and then went in to sleep.
Bi Qiaoan asked, "What are your plans for those two foals?"
Shen Yanming smiled wryly: "I had a good plan before I came, but now I suddenly find it very difficult. The main reason is that before the apocalypse, no one would pay attention to normal transactions, so even if I secretly used that, the chances of being discovered are very small."
But things are different now. Even if the cameras in many places are practically useless, the Alliance will still assign people to closely monitor surveillance in various cities in order to detect planetary anomalies as soon as possible. Perhaps, some people will even patrol back and forth using satellites.
Bringing two foals inside without alerting anyone is no easy task.
There's nothing we can do; it's not only big, but it's also alive.
Bi Qiaoan sighed: "If it doesn't work out, then forget it. Let's just treat this as a trip for fun."
Shen Yanming shook his head: "Let's give it a try. Collecting them is not only to add species to that place, but also to preserve a batch of 'seeds' for this world."
Bi Qiaoan understood what he meant and nodded: "Be careful."
"Okay, don't worry, if it really doesn't work, I'll choose to give up."
The couple talked for a while and then fell asleep.
The next morning, after waking Bi Qiaoan, Shen Yanming drove to the city and rented a small van with a cargo box using his own ID.
When the rancher saw him return, he brought out the foals he had chosen. Although the two foals were less than a month old, they were already quite big. They struggled in front of the truck, refusing to get on.
It was only after An'an and Nuan Nuan came over and gently stroked them that the two animals calmed down and obediently walked into the carriage along the step.
The rancher found this scene quite peculiar, and Shen Yanming could only offer a forced explanation: "Perhaps it's just the young cubs showing mutual affection?"
The ranch owner laughed heartily, finding the guest extremely amusing. After seeing the family of four off, he returned to his tent, excitedly looking at the two bags of white rice and flour, muttering to himself, "This will last a long time, hehehe!"
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan drove this small truck to many places, both in the city and the suburbs. Each time, they would deliver something upstairs and pick up something else, seemingly constantly shuffling things around. But no one knew exactly what they were shuffling or how much they were shuffling.
In reality, Shen Yanming mostly traded grain for goods, then drove to secluded places with few cameras to store the items in his spatial storage. Because of the frequency and disorganization, it was difficult to detect the deception without close monitoring.
After five or six days of this, Shen Yanming not only successfully put the two foals into his space, but also yaks, wild deer, red deer, donkeys, camels, alpacas, guinea fowl, pheasants, partridges, mallards, pigeons, ostriches, and mink cubs.
The operation was large-scale, but the rewards were substantial. This time, Shen Yanming was truly walking a tightrope.
Besides these small animals, Shen Yanming also mobilized everyone's efforts and successfully purchased two sets of household appliances. Although not complete, they included the essentials such as a refrigerator, rice cooker, and microwave oven.
Of course, Shen Yanming knew he had taken a risk, so after leaving the ranch, he found a remote place to change his appearance.
He even removed the license plate from the small truck. Although it was not in compliance with regulations, there was nothing he could do about it.
Bi Qiaoan and her two children couldn't keep up later, so they found a farmhouse by the roadside, negotiated with the owner, and rented a room for a week in exchange for ten kilograms of rice.
Shen Yanming had been wandering around for several days before finally coming to pick up the mother and her two children. An'an and Nuannuan rushed over to hug their father's leg as soon as they saw him, while Bi Qiao'an looked at him with concern, her gaze seemingly asking, "How did it go?"
Shen Yanming nodded slightly, indicating that there was no problem. Bi Qiaoan breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and pulled him into the room, pouring water and cooking noodles.
After eating a bowl of instant noodles, Shen Yanming said to Bi Qiaoan, "Wife, rest for one night, and we'll set off for Rongbai Mountain tomorrow."
Bi Qiaoan nodded and went to pack her luggage.
That night, after An'an and Nuannuan fell asleep, Shen Yanming quietly told his wife about his experiences over the past few days.
"Most things were obtained by bartering food. Only a very small number were obtained by exchanging other goods for them."
Bi Qiaoan asked anxiously, "Aren't you afraid of being investigated?"
Shen Yanming seemed to have given up entirely, saying, "Let them investigate. I'll just deny it. I've done so much disguising myself, I don't believe they can find out anything about me."
Bi Qiaoan stared at the other person for a long time before finally saying, "You're really confident!"
She sighed inwardly, "Oh well, what can we do? At worst, she'll get arrested, and she'll stay with him."
Shen Yanming smiled, omitting the fact that one night he drove his car into a remote mountain valley and swapped cars with local residents for two days. He also mentioned other shady dealings, such as asking people to buy food for him.
"What have you gotten?" Bi Qiaoan asked in a low voice.
“There’s plenty!” Shen Yanming raised an eyebrow and listed all the edible items before finally saying, “The biggest gains from this trip were a lot of bricks, cement, asphalt, lime, tiles, as well as ceramic jars, wooden frames, and wicker baskets.”
Bi Qiaoan was stunned and patted Shen Yanming's arm, asking, "You've only been gone a few days!"
Shen Yanming smiled smugly, "They were all overstocked goods that nobody wanted, so I bought them all at an extremely low price."
"food?"
Shen Yanming shook his head: "Meat!"
Now Bi Qiaoan understood what he had been up to. But, "What are we going to bring back openly?"
“Smoked meat!” Shen Yanming hugged Bi Qiaoan: “Before I came here, I went back to Beiha City and exchanged half of the bricks and cement for grain, and then came back to exchange them for meat.”
Bi Qiaoan...
Okay, you're awesome!
