Ye Wengui smiled and said, "Okay!"
Shen Yanming didn't go straight home. After thinking for a moment, he went to the back mountain of the agricultural area.
Spring has already arrived here.
The grass secretly pushed its way out of the soil, and the tree bark turned a faint green. The leaf buds on the branches of the big tree quietly swelled up one by one.
It looks normal at first glance, but if you look closely, you'll find that the plant isn't growing properly.
The rapid temperature rise in the sea has weakened plant growth. The plants are thicker at the bottom and thinner at the top, and some have even lost water. Even flower bud formation has been affected.
Shen Yanming sighed and slowly walked up the mountain. The temperature wasn't high yet, and wild mushrooms hadn't sprouted much.
Even wild vegetables are nothing more than thin, tender shoots that look like they could break at the slightest touch.
Shen Yanming clicked his tongue. There wasn't even enough for him to pick all of this.
He wandered around the mountain for two hours, but finding nothing special, he went back.
He went back and told his wife, and the two decided to go out and "do something naughty" when the temperature rose a bit more.
Temperatures rose again in May, though not by much.
In mid-May, the temperature rose to 15 degrees Celsius.
By the end of May, the temperature had risen to 20 degrees Celsius.
Although it should be summer, Haishi is still lingering in late spring.
The people of Qinghua have mixed feelings. They are happy that summer is still here, just a little slow. They are worried that summer is coming too late, the crop growing cycle is longer, and the harvest will be much smaller.
Without grain, there is no food. Without food, there is no hope of survival. Alas!
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan felt the temperature was about right, so they took their two children out to pick wild vegetables.
The family of four changed into comfortable light clothing, carried small baskets, and walked out of the guard post.
This was the first time the family of four had gone out since returning to Haishi, apart from Shen Yanming, and Bi Qiaoan, An'an, and Nuannuan were all very happy.
They strolled around outdoors, and Shen Yanming, who had ventured out countless times in winter, naturally became their guide.
He led the adult and two children to the mountain closest to the guard team. There were already quite a few people there picking wild vegetables.
The couple avoided the crowds and searched aimlessly on the somewhat barren mountains. They picked a few edible wild vegetables when they found them.
Ostensibly, the couple was walking slowly because of their two children. But in reality, they weren't out looking for food at all.
Shen Yanming pulled An'an along, picking wild vegetables and scattering seeds into the soil. Most of them were still wild vegetable seeds, but nourished by spiritual energy, they would definitely grow stronger than the current yellow and weak ones.
And it doesn't matter if people notice the difference, since wild vegetables are weeds, and weeds have always been extremely resilient.
Occasionally, Shen Yanming would scatter some grain seeds into the soil. They might not grow, but it would be even better if they did. If anyone saw them, they could simply assume they were washed ashore by the sea.
Bi Qiaoan pulled Nuan Nuan along slowly behind the two. They appeared to be strolling aimlessly, but in reality, they were secretly dripping spiritual spring water into the wild vegetable patches, seed piles, and the base of the still-living trees.
Since these plants are surviving so tenaciously, she will try her best to help them thrive. Otherwise, the grayish-yellow world will be lifeless.
The couple worked together seamlessly, dividing the tasks. They wandered around all day but didn't gather many wild vegetables. An'an and Nuannuan, however, found it all fascinating and their interest remained undiminished even after a day of walking.
However, the two little ones couldn't walk anymore by the afternoon. Qiao An took the basket, and Shen Yanming carried one in each arm, and the family of four slowly walked back.
"It's only because you're strong that you can carry them like this, otherwise our family of four really wouldn't be able to get back," Bi Qiaoan joked with a smile.
Shen Yanming nodded and joked, "Yeah, I've got it. Even if you're too tired to walk anymore, I can still carry you back."
Bi Qiaoan rolled her eyes at him: "Get lost, don't you know your own limitations? How can you carry me on your back?"
“Just carry me like that.” Shen Yanming stopped. “Honey, I can’t squat down, so jump up yourself. Let’s try, I’m sure I can carry you back.”
Bi Qiaoan poked Shen Yanming in the back with her finger: "You'd better walk properly, or you might drop my son and daughter."
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "How could that be? They're my family's treasures. So you are too, so you get the same treatment as them."
Bi Qiaoan was amused. Looking at the two children's bright eyes, she said with a hint of schadenfreude, "Then you'd better be prepared, this is what you strongly requested."
"Yeah. Just be careful when you come up, don't rush. Otherwise I won't be able to stop the momentum."
Bi Qiaoan nodded, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and hung behind Shen Yanming.
Not being tall enough, and worried about hurting her little one, she clung tightly to Shen Yanming's neck with both arms, hanging on him like a salted fish. Her legs hung naturally, not daring to wrap themselves tightly around his waist.
This position was uncomfortable for her, and it was also uncomfortable for Shen Yanming, but neither of them said anything.
Bi Qiaoan wanted to teach her husband, Lao Shen, a lesson for his boastful words. Shen Yanming, on the other hand, felt he had just boasted and didn't want to admit defeat so quickly. After all, aside from the discomfort, he could still endure everything else.
The family of four shuffled forward in this strange posture for two or three minutes. An'an looked at his mother and giggled. He never expected that his usually composed mother could be so mischievous.
Nuannuan, seeing Shen Yanming's flushed cheeks and bulging veins, shamelessly cheered from the side, "Go, Dad!"
Shen Yanming: "..." Doesn't he really want to leak oil?
Bi Qiaoan couldn't help but laugh, burying her head in Shen Yanming's back and shaking incessantly.
Feeling extremely tired, and noticing that Shen Yanming's back was soaked with sweat, she quickly called out, "Okay, okay, stop now, I'll get down and walk by myself."
Shen Yanming didn't try to be brave. He slowly stopped and let Bi Qiaoan slide off him. He visibly breathed a sigh of relief, then squatted down to put An'an and Nuannuan down, wanting to calm down.
Seeing the large beads of sweat on his forehead, Bi Qiaoan quickly took out a small handkerchief to wipe them away for him. An'an and Nuannuan also thoughtfully took out the water bottle and sweetly said, "Daddy, have some water."
Shen Yanming smiled and accepted the bottle, his heart filled with sweetness. He said, "Thank you, darling!" Then he unscrewed the cap and gulped down several mouthfuls.
The pot contained spiritual spring water, mixed with some spiritual fruit juice. After a few sips, Shen Yanming felt his energy and strength had mostly recovered.
He handed the water bottle back to the two children and asked, "Shall we rest a bit more or go home?"
The two children noticed that someone was watching them, and shyly hid, whispering, "Daddy, let's go home and eat meat."
Shen Yanming raised an eyebrow: "What kind of meat do you want to eat?"
The two kids' eyes lit up: "Any kind of meat is fine, Daddy's cooking is always delicious."
Hearing this, Shen Yanming smiled with satisfaction: "Great job, my darling has good taste."
