After the two children played for a while, Shen Yanming carried them home.
An'an and Nuannuan looked at the slide with reluctance, but Shen Yanming promised to take them to play again in a couple of days before the two children obediently listened to him.
Zhang Heping and Ji Kangyong followed behind, wanting to suggest they play with the child a little longer. But considering the time available, they could only remain silent.
When the family of four returned home, Shen Yanming was giving the two children a bath when they were both so sleepy they could barely keep their eyes open. It was only with Bi Qiaoan's help that the sprawled little ones were finally cleaned up and put on the bed.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were in relatively good spirits. After discussing it, they decided to go to Space Mountain to pick some fruit. It had been a while since they had been there, and the fruit was probably going to be overrun again.
Of course, they brought their two children along when they entered the space. The couple felt very relieved to have them settled in the villa.
Before long, the two reached the top of the mountain. As they had expected, the grains, fruits, and vegetables on the mountain were ripe. Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan picked a lot, but it was still just a drop in the ocean, not nearly enough to make up for the rest.
The little animals looked on with envy, but due to the agreement between the two parties, they all stared at each other intently, yet none of them dared to make a move.
Shen Yanming thought for a moment and decided to hire some animals. As long as they helped carry the goods down the mountain, they would receive a certain amount of fruit as payment.
Tigers, leopards, bears, and wolves—these animals at the top of the food chain—discussed the matter and nodded in agreement.
Shen Yanming gave half of the fruit to them, and put the rest into baskets or bags, which he then hung on the animals.
Comrade Shen is shrewd; he prepared a lot of tools before going up the mountain, probably because he had his eye on these laborers for a long time.
Bi Qiaoan was filled with admiration for his well-organized arrangements. Too hesitant to approach the large, ferocious beasts, she helped load them into baskets from the side.
Before long, the fields were completely harvested. A group of large, ferocious beasts, carrying their loads, lined up and followed Shen Yanming down the mountain.
Bi Qiaoan watched from the side, feeling quite shocked. Who would dare to order around a group of man-eating beasts to help with work?
But she had to pretend to be calm and not show any fear. When they reached the boundary line, the couple were quite worried, wondering if the animals would be able to come down the mountain.
They went ahead and talked to the tigers, asking them to try to get out of the spiritual energy range.
The tigers stepped out. However, the lack of spiritual energy in the world made them feel uneasy. But considering the deal between the two parties, they endured it.
Shen Yanming felt that the two sides could coexist harmoniously because of spatial constraints. However, it was obvious that the other party wasn't afraid of him, indicating that some conditions hadn't been met. Nevertheless, he was already very happy to have achieved this balance.
The animals following behind also started howling and screaming as soon as they stepped out of the spiritual energy range, wondering what was going on. It wasn't until the lead tiger roared that the group calmed down and followed Shen Yanming down the mountain step by step.
As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, Comrade Shen used his mind to store the items in the storage area. Then he waved his hand, signaling the group of beasts to return to the mountain.
The tigers and leopards breathed a sigh of relief and ran off in a few strides. The slightly clumsy black bear behind them also couldn't wait to head up the mountain, as if there were raging beasts below.
Seeing this, the couple felt relieved. Since spiritual energy had a restraining effect on animals that had gained sentience, they wouldn't come down from the mountain and harm these ordinary edible animals.
Great! Now they not only have helpers, but they also don't have to worry about them sabotaging things. The couple felt they could finally be freed from the arduous work of transportation.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan did not return to the mobile villa immediately. They waited until the group of beasts had completely disappeared before slowly walking back.
Bi Qiaoan would also monitor them from time to time with her mind to make sure they didn't launch a surprise attack before she could feel completely at ease.
However, even if they were to kill her, she wouldn't be afraid. Down in the mountains, she was the queen. That's probably why the beasts were uneasy.
After all, once you've been at the top of the food chain for a long time, who would want to entrust their life to someone else?
Not long after, the two returned to the mobile villa. They glanced at the little ones, seeing them sleeping soundly, then took a shower, lay down on the bed, and drifted off to sleep.
The next day, the couple left the space as soon as they woke up. After a simple breakfast, they left with An'an and Nuannuan.
They drove around the city to deliver gifts to Yu Shui, Zhu Shiliang, and the others. After all, many people knew about their trip, and it was impossible for them not to have heard about it.
Shen Yanming had considered giving gifts to people while he was in the guard team, but with so many people he knew, deciding who to give to and who not to was a bit difficult. So he decided to wait until his vacation, believing they would understand.
As expected, Yu Shui and the others were very happy to receive the gifts, as if they were pleasantly surprised.
Shen Yanming declined their invitation to have lunch together and returned to the guard team with his wife, son, and daughter.
After returning home, the couple went back into the space. This time, they took their two children to the lakeside to practice their diving skills.
There are several lakes in the space, but only the one on the grassland is used to raise fish; the rest are almost all used to grow lotus roots.
The lake water was incredibly clear, almost unnaturally so. Perhaps it was due to the limited space that the pond was so clean.
Shen Yanming placed a kayak in the lake, then put life jackets on the two children, put them on the kayak, and then slid into the water.
The two kids were a little scared at first, but gradually they found it super fun. An'an and Nuannuan lay on the kayak, splashing water with their little hands.
Bi Qiaoan saw this but didn't stop them. Anyway, with her and Shen Yanming watching over them, she wasn't worried about the two kids falling into the water.
However, Bi Qiaoan thought that if An'an and Nuannuan fell into the water, let them fall in. Sometimes, they won't learn their lesson unless they've been taught a lesson. As long as she and Shen Yanming acted quickly enough, the two children would be fine.
Bi Qiaoan secretly thought to herself, then glanced at Shen Yanming. Seeing him raise an eyebrow, she knew he was also up to no good.
But she wouldn't say.
The couple paddled their kayak to the center of the pond, warmed up their arms and legs, and then got into the water.
Neither of them were particularly good swimmers; they had learned to doggy paddle from adults at the swimming pool when they were young.
Now, the two of them are weaving through the lotus flowers.
Even though there was nothing else in the pond, the tall, upright leaves and thick flower stalks posed a considerable obstacle for the two of them.
There are also floating leaves on the water's surface that occasionally brush against your legs, and if you're not careful, you might get a scratch.
The two are currently practicing their agility in the water, and how to quickly and accurately avoid obstacles.
This is a real challenge for those who aren't good swimmers. If it's difficult in calm waters, imagine how challenging it would be in rough seas.
So Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan soaked in the water, swimming forward again and again.
Until, I heard a "thump"...
