On this journey, they even ate lunch in the car without stopping, trying to travel as much as possible and get closer to the North.
That way, even if it snows again later, we can still walk across.
However, this is just other people's opinion. Shen Xingmian still has a final trump card, which is the off-road vehicle she accidentally acquired. Its tires are very non-slip and much more stable than the RV.
The reason I haven't taken it out to use it now is because I can't move around while sitting inside. It would be very tiring after a day, and my lower limbs would be stiff.
The road conditions are fine now; it's far from the point where you need to drive an off-road vehicle.
Besides, at this rate, they'll be almost there in five days and then they'll have to switch back to horse-drawn carriages.
Shen Xingmian woke up in the afternoon. No one bothered her about lunch, so she simply made a bowl of noodles with the ingredients in the RV.
As soon as she saw that Mianmian was awake, Mu Zhizhi immediately asked, "What would you like to eat, Mianmian? Your aunt will make it for you."
Shen Xingmian rubbed her eyes. She had slept too soundly and her mind was still a little foggy. After a while, she replied, "No need, Aunt. I'll just find something to eat. I'm not hungry yet."
Looking out the window, she asked curiously, "Haven't we seen anyone along the way?"
"No, there wasn't even a single footprint or tire track on the snow. It's just us, so we really don't have to worry about being seen."
Mu Zhizhi answered gently.
"Oh dear, it's a bit of a pity. If someone had seen us, what kind of rumors would they have spread?"
Shen Zheng thought for a moment and described it: "It was probably a white giant beast. I couldn't see its legs, but it could run very fast. It would disappear in the blink of an eye, just like flying."
Everyone was amused by his vivid description and couldn't help but start discussing it amongst themselves.
"How do you explain the tire tracks on the ground?" Shen Xingyan began to pose a difficult question.
"Those marks even have flower patterns on them. Who would have thought they were wheel tracks? They might even be associated with the auspicious clouds beneath the throne of the Queen Mother of the West."
"Haha, bro, you really know how to think."
The brother and sister laughed so hard they almost fell over.
"It could also be rumored to be a carriage that can run without horses. If you saw it at night, you might say it was a hundred ghosts pulling the King of Hell."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Shen Xingmian thought of UFOs in later generations. Although no one has ever actually seen aliens, the legends about aliens have never stopped.
There are also some fanatical believers who insist on calling any cloud in the sky a dragon, even though they see no resemblance whatsoever.
But those people were like they were possessed, insisting on pointing out where the dragon's horns were and where its claws were.
They said it as if it were the truth.
But to ordinary people, he's no different from a madman.
If someone saw their car and told others about it, they would probably think they were crazy.
Shen Xingmian ate something casually and felt her superpowers were full, so she ran out and released them again. This time she felt a significant improvement, both in terms of the maximum distance and the number of times she could use them.
This is really good news.
Like having a bucket made of planks of different lengths, if she wants to hold more water, she has to keep making up for her shortest plank so that all the planks can reach the same height.
These wooden planks were a choice she made after careful consideration.
Otherwise, she would have an even shorter board now.
The reason she wasn't in a hurry to create a spatial dimension was because she felt that this world wouldn't be in an apocalypse, and with so much silver and food, it was already enough.
Just because there's space doesn't mean you can become an insatiable miser. Must you fill the space to the brim, and then crave even more space?
The contents of this place are more than enough for the whole family to eat and use for ten lifetimes.
She doesn't want to become like that, only knowing how to amass wealth but not how to use it wisely. What's the difference between her and those corrupt officials?
They are all parasites on society.
But now, she seems to have come up with many ways to make good use of these resources. Whether it's building roads or farming, these are all great things to improve people's lives.
Both of these things can't be done without money.
She needs to expand her space, both in the planting area and the warehouse.
The seeds propagated in the planting area must be stored in a warehouse to keep them fresh indefinitely so that she can plant them with peace of mind.
Otherwise, if we put a lot of seeds outside, given the temperature in the North, we'd have to find someone to keep the fire burning for warmth, otherwise they'd freeze to death, and all our efforts would be for nothing.
Sigh, it's really too much to ask of her to do both things well!
Shen Xingmian was in much better condition this time. She walked back to the small bed by herself, threw herself onto the bed, and didn't need anyone to carry her.
Waaah, she wished she could stay in bed forever. How blissful it would be to lie in a warm, soft blanket without having to get up.
Her ultimate dream in life is to be a lazy bum who doesn't have to do anything but have food and drink. Even though she can already achieve her dream, she still can't help but work hard.
That's so tiring, she deserves all the hard work, boohoo.
But looking at the unmoving child across from her, she realized that she wasn't the most stubborn one. The child had been there since breakfast and was still there.
This perseverance should not be underestimated.
Although she felt she was also quite energetic, that was only compared to her lazy, complacent state; compared to this child, she was completely outmatched.
She's such a failure as an adult.
However, the adult who failed is very tired right now and needs to replenish energy, so let's put the effort on hold for now.
The most obvious weather sign of winter is that the days are getting shorter. It's only 3 p.m. and the sun is already in the west. In less than two hours, it will be dark again.
She sat down next to her grandfather, glanced at the sky outside the window, and asked, "Grandpa, are you sure we don't need to continue driving tonight? Anyway, there are many of us who can drive, and if the two of us keep an eye on things, we shouldn't be in any danger if we don't go fast."
And I'll be keeping an eye on things, and if anything goes wrong, I'll take the car back. People just slip and fall on the ground, and I can fix it up quickly.
This is just the worst-case scenario; it shouldn't happen.
Shen Zhiheng also looked outside and nodded, saying, "We can give it a try. Sleeping in a tent at night requires lighting a fire for warmth, but sleeping directly in the car is much more convenient."
But that would be tough on you, sweetheart. We can find someone else to drive, but what about you?
"I'm fine. I slept a lot during the day and I'm not sleepy anymore. I can always catch up on sleep tomorrow during the day."
"Alright, this will shorten the time even more. Once we get there, Mianmian can sleep as long as she wants, she can sleep to her heart's content."
"Oh, Grandpa, I'm not a little pig, why would I need to sleep for so long!"
Shen Xingmian dared to make this suggestion because she hadn't seen a single carriage along the way, so there was no possibility of a collision.
It's even safer on this road at night, since they're the only vehicle there. Apart from the bumpy ride, there's no other risk.
