Because Bi Qiaoan and An An Nuan Nuan stood there looking at him, looking really miserable!
Bi Qiaoan is okay, but her hair is messy and her left cheek is a little swollen.
An'an and Nuannuan were in a terrible state; one of their eyelids was swollen, one of their lips was swollen, and they had several bumps on their faces. Their eyes were brimming with tears, as if they were making an accusation.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yanming's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stepped forward to ask.
Bi Qiaoan also felt wronged, "It's all your fault. You insisted on getting your hands on honey, and we all got caught in the crossfire."
Shen Yanming felt a little guilty and said weakly, "Didn't I lure them all away?"
“You have a strong sense of sacrifice, but the bees aren’t stupid. After the main group left, there were only a dozen or so left wandering around us, and they all stung me.” Bi Qiaoan stretched out her fair arm, which was covered with red dots.
Shen Yanming felt a little upset and apologized to the mother and her two children very sincerely: "I'm sorry, I was reckless."
Bi Qiaoan didn't intend to hold a grudge; she had just been stung, and she felt she should let the other party know about her efforts.
So he nodded and said, "I forgive you."
Shen Yanming knelt down and hugged An'an and Nuannuan: "Babies, it's Daddy's fault for making you suffer. Can you forgive Daddy?"
The two children pouted, but finally nodded. They knew their father had lured away most of the bees, so his injuries must be more serious.
An'an asked worriedly, "Daddy, were you stung by a bee?"
Shen Yanming wanted to say no, but then his eyes darted around and he clutched his chest: "Ouch, so many bees! Daddy got stung so badly, it hurts so much!"
An'an and Nuan Nuan were both startled. They quickly cupped Shen Yanming's face and asked, "Dad, where did you get stung? Let me blow on it for you."
Shen Yanming casually pointed to a spot: "Here!"
The two kids observed it very carefully, and were quite puzzled when they saw nothing unusual. But they still blew on it.
Upon seeing this, Bi Qiaoan immediately interrupted, "Stop fooling around, hurry up and deal with the two babies, otherwise how will the three of us face anyone!"
Shen Yanming nodded and took out the ointment, using his backpack as a cover. Just as he was about to treat the two children, Bi Qiaoan stopped him: "Wait, let me take a picture first."
"What?" Shen Yanming asked, puzzled.
Bi Qiaoan rolled her eyes. "Keep it as evidence, to warn the world."
Shen Yanming watched helplessly as she took pictures of herself and her two children looking ridiculous and posted them on her WeChat Moments with the caption: "What goes around comes around, no one escapes the judgment of heaven."
Shen Yanming was both amused and exasperated. Just a moment ago she was complaining about how ugly he was, and now she dared to post it on her WeChat Moments. His little wife really was unpredictable.
Despite the accusation, he still treated the two children's wounds very carefully. After searching for a while without finding the poisoned needle, he asked Bi Qiaoan, "Have you treated it?"
Bi Qiaoan nodded, "I only removed the poison needles from them and gave them a couple of sips of water."
She didn't mention the words "spiritual spring," but Shen Yanming knew she wouldn't specifically say she drank ordinary water.
"Hmm, even without the ointment, the swelling should go down in a while." Shen Yanming trusted the spiritual spring water, but he still applied the ointment to the group. Consider it a way to cover it up.
"Alright, let's hurry down the mountain." Shen Yanming put away the ointment, picked up the two babies, and said to Bi Qiaoan.
"Okay, let's go back quickly, it's getting late." Bi Qiaoan glanced at her phone and realized it was already 5:30. She was a little worried that the building manager might have locked the gate.
Shen Yanming seemed to read her mind and comforted her, "It's okay, even if the door is closed, we can still get out." He had checked; it was an electric door, and they could climb over it.
"Try to leave before people get off work, so they don't worry or come looking for you."
Shen Yanming nodded and quickened his pace.
The earthenware pot in Bi Qiaoan's hand had stopped smoking. She looked around warily and only breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see any bees.
Then, when she turned her head, she noticed a sticky spot on Shen Yanming's backpack. She went over and touched it, then smelled it.
"My God, when did you get honey on your skin? No wonder the bees were chasing you." Bi Qiaoan suddenly realized.
She then looked at the children's clothes and found a small, sticky patch on their chests. She nodded and said, "The children must have gotten this on when you were holding them."
"Wife, can we stop talking about it and turn the page?" Shen Yanming's tone carried a hint of pleading.
“Sure!” Bi Qiaoan nodded. “I didn’t mean anything by it, I just suddenly noticed these details.”
"Yes, I know. It's just that every time you mention it, I can picture your miserable state. I feel guilty."
Bi Qiaoan patted Shen Yanming's shoulder with a smile, "Don't feel so guilty. The three of us have forgiven you. Although it was your fault, it was unintentional. So, let it go."
Shen Yanming's lips curled up, feeling somewhat pleased. His wife was so kind; she hadn't made a fuss with him.
Due to an unexpected incident on the way, even though they walked very fast, they still didn't get down the mountain until after six o'clock.
As soon as we reached the entrance, we saw the administrator scratching his head, looking so anxious he wished he could fly into the mountains.
"Oh my, you've finally come out. Didn't I say we'd close at six? How come you're still dawdling until seven?" Actually, it was only 6:20; the manager was exaggerating.
Shen Yanming didn't correct the time. He explained with a smile, "I'm so sorry, we were attacked by bees on the way, which delayed us a bit."
The administrator's expression changed, and he looked the family up and down: "Were you not stung? The bees in these mountains are very poisonous. If you were stung, you'd better go to the hospital for treatment immediately."
Shen Yanming was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "No, we ran fast." He wasn't trying to lie, but rather, explaining it would be too troublesome.
The administrator patted his forehead in relief: "Thank goodness, it's all right. You wouldn't believe it, there was a group of people who said they were going into the mountains to find honey, but eight of them went in standing up and three came out lying down. When those three were carried out, their faces and bodies were swollen. It was awful! I heard they were hospitalized for half a month before they were out of danger."
Shen Yanming was shocked: "So poisonous?"
"Of course, otherwise why would I be here guarding the gate?" As the administrator spoke, he realized something was wrong: "Hey, didn't I tell you to just wander around the neighborhood? Did you go up the mountain? Otherwise you wouldn't have run into that swarm of bees."
Shen Yanming gave an awkward laugh; at this point, denial was pointless.
The administrator pointed with his finger and said angrily, "You're lucky!"
Shen Yanming knew the man meant well, so he jogged to the parking lot, grabbed a piece of smoked meat, and handed it to the attendant: "Thank you for your trouble today!"
The administrator tried to decline, but Shen Yanming smiled and said, "Don't be so quick to refuse. Let's consider it fate and become friends. If it's convenient, could you point us to the way to Jintao Village?"
