Nuannuan was a little reluctant, but she still nodded firmly: "Mommy, Nuannuan will be good and wait for you!"
Bi Qiaoan kissed her hard, then called to Shen Yanming, "Honey, take Nuannuan out and take good care of her. And take good care of yourself too."
"Okay, I know. You can sleep here tonight. I'll have some free time and keep an eye on you."
Bi Qiaoan's lips curled into a smile: "Okay!"
There was a lot of furniture in the storage area, all from Bi Qiaoan's previous house. After brushing their teeth, she and An'an lay down on the bed and fell asleep shortly afterward.
On his way back, Shen Yanming poured the dirty water from his mother and the others' washing up onto the ground, cleaned the plastic basins and lunch boxes, and put them into his spatial storage before taking Nuannuan back to the cave.
Because it was night, no one noticed that Nuannuan's little face was clean and her clothes were neat and tidy.
Shen Yanming held Nuannuan in his arms, leaning against the corner, thinking that when he woke up tomorrow, the sweet and soft little girl in his arms would be dirty and smelly again.
Thinking of the vain little face I saw on social media earlier, I couldn't help but smile.
Bi Qiaoan got up at 5:30 the next morning, when it was already slightly light.
She originally intended to leave a note and then depart, but after thinking about it, she called out to the air, "Honey, I'm going home."
Shen Yanming woke up with a start when he heard the voice in his mind.
He rubbed his swollen forehead, glanced at the space subconsciously, and saw Bi Qiaoan making the bed. He said softly, "Wife, be careful. If it gets too tough outside, hide in the space. Forget about Ji Kangyong. If it gets too bad, we can meet up and go find him later."
Bi Qiaoan chuckled, "Okay, I got it. I'll play it by ear. You too, take care of yourself." Nuannuan has lost weight; her husband must have lost even more.
"Okay, I love you!"
Yes, I love you too!
Bi Qiaoan felt that she was easily moved to tears; she felt like crying every time she talked to her husband or saw Nuannuan. But she had to hold it in and couldn't keep crying all the time.
She bent down to pick up An'an, but the little guy was already awake. Bi Qiao'an stroked his head and asked, "Did Mommy wake you up?"
"No, it's just that I slept well." An'an hugged Bi Qiao'an's neck, still a little shy.
Bi Qiaoan kissed him: "Say goodbye to Dad, we need to get ready to go out."
An'an nodded, looked up at the sky, waved her little hands, and said in her childish voice, "Daddy, Mommy and I are going out now. Take care of yourself and your little sister."
"Great job, our little An'an!"
The little girl was overjoyed to be praised by her father. She didn't need her mother to carry her anymore and skipped and jumped behind Bi Qiaoan, extremely happy.
When the two returned to the planting area, Bi Qiaoan used her consciousness to look outside and, oh my god, it was an eyesore! The bearded man was hugging a fair-skinned woman, who was sleeping soundly.
Seeing that Bi Qiaoan hadn't moved for a while, An'an asked her mother, "Aren't you going out?"
Bi Qiaoan didn't know what to say, so she just rubbed his head and said, "Baby, go play with the goose for a while, okay? Mommy needs to harvest a batch of vegetables and grains here." She also needed to send some live chickens, ducks, and rabbits to the storage area, otherwise there would be no food there.
An'an was a little confused, but she still chased after the goose and played happily.
Bi Qiaoan harvested what needed to be harvested and planted what needed to be planted. After waiting for a very long time, she finally took An'an out of the space.
The place was even more chaotic than when they arrived yesterday. The mother and daughter waited against the wall for a long time, and only left cautiously when they saw that nothing was happening.
Bi Qiaoan dared not explore any further, fearing she might encounter those burly men. Although she wasn't entirely without a chance of winning, she was still somewhat apprehensive.
Fortunately, all was well and the mother and daughter found their temporary lodging from the previous day by following the route they had come from.
When the elderly couple saw the mother and son, their eyes reddened, and they choked up as they said, "Where did you go? Why did it take you so long to come back? I thought something had happened to you!"
Even a few girls who disliked Bi Qiao'an gathered around: "That's right, she doesn't even come back at night. The old folks almost went to fight her."
Bi Qiaoan was touched, and with a smile, she pinched the girl's cheek, saying, "It's nothing, we just ran into some trouble and were delayed. How are you? Did you manage to get some water?"
The girls froze, stammering, "We got it, but...it's a little too little."
Bi Qiaoan raised an eyebrow. "How many?"
"Just a little bit, enough for one person to have a bite."
Bi Qiaoan noticed that the girls were looking at her timidly, and she smiled.
He then took two bottles of mineral water from his backpack and handed them to them, saying, "I found these over there." In reality, he had taken them from his spatial storage. However, they had been thoroughly ravaged by Bi Qiaoan on the way.
"What? Really? There are such good things over there?" The girl was incredibly excited, her eyes filled with admiration as she looked at Bi Qiaoan. "If that's the case, can we go over there to find food too?"
The elderly couple, however, were less optimistic. "Girl, tell us properly, where did you get these two bottles of water? If it were easy, you wouldn't have been delayed until now."
Bi Qiaoan nodded and briefly explained the situation over there.
"The ruins over there weren't as badly damaged as those over here. You could even find clothes and blankets in some of the buildings. However, that area was occupied by a group of strong men. They weren't sick, but they weren't exactly good people either."
If you go there, you'll likely suffer the same fate as those girls from before.
That bearded man is no good.
"Of course, you can sneak off to look for something. But I'm afraid they've already made that area their territory, and if they discover someone intruding, they might try to kill them."
So my baby and I stayed there all night, and only came back after they all left.
Of course, these are all just my speculations; you can consider them for yourselves.
The girls felt as if they had been doused with cold water; their fiery hearts instantly turned cold.
They exchanged a glance before saying, "No need, we'll stay here, it's fine here."
Bi Qiaoan nodded, but still laid out the unpleasant truth upfront: "In that case, let's all start practicing our martial arts these next couple of days."
"Huh, practice martial arts? None of us know how to do that!"
Bi Qiaoan knew this all too well, but she still explained seriously, "We are only temporarily safe here. What if others discover our whereabouts or come here specifically to cause trouble? What do you think we should do then?"
Don't count on me. I can only protect my own child; you'll have to rely on yourselves to survive.
"No way, sister, is she really that vicious?" someone said, skeptical.
Bi Qiaoan sighed: "I like to plan ahead. If you don't meet my requirements, I will not hesitate to abandon you."
"No, sister!" several girls exclaimed.
Bi Qiaoan simply said, "Then practice hard!"
