Liu Anran put the crystal core into her spatial storage, stood halfway up the mountain, and looked around. She found a flat area at the foot of the mountain with a small river in front of it. The bushes along the riverbank were covered with morning glories and wisteria.
There is a water source here, and the flat land can be cultivated to grow grains and vegetables, which can be used to conceal the existence of space, making it a suitable place to live.
Liu Anran walked to the flat land at the foot of the mountain and saw that the weeds and trees were growing lushly. It would take a long time to clear the land, but Liu Anran had no shortage of time.
She took out a hoe and dug a few times. The soil was dark in color, thick, and loose. A smile appeared on her face. This land was very fertile and suitable for planting. She decided to settle down here and stop going deeper into the mountains.
As soon as Liu Anran entered the space, Yunlong ran to her and asked, "Mom, did you eliminate the mutated plants?"
“They’re gone.” Liu Anran said as she walked to the crib and saw the triplets lying obediently on the bed without crying or fussing.
Yunlong came to Liu Anran's side and looked at the triplets in the crib. "Mom, I've changed the diapers for the younger brother and sister and fed them."
Liu Anran smiled. No wonder the triplets didn't cry. She led Yunlong out of the space and said with a smile, "The terrain here is flat and there is a water source. I've decided to bring you four siblings to stay here."
"Mom, didn't you say that we're close to the main road and you're afraid someone will find us?" Yunlong asked.
“If anyone discovers us and comes looking for trouble, we’ll beat them up,” Liu Anran said.
"What if we outnumber them and still can't win?" Yunlong asked again.
Liu Anran looked at Yunlong as if he were an idiot. "If you can't win, just run away. Are you going to be stubborn and fight to the death?"
Yunlong asked, "Mom, wouldn't that be too cowardly?"
Liu Anran poked Yunlong's forehead with her finger. "Knowing it's impossible and still doing it is foolish. If you encounter a strong opponent in the future and you can't win, just run away from me. Don't be so proud that you'll lose your life."
Yunlong felt that running away was shameful and somewhat disagreed with Liu Anran's statement.
"Mom, it doesn't seem right to be a deserter."
Liu Anran looked at Yunlong solemnly and said, "When a person dies, everything is meaningless. You lost today, but that doesn't mean you'll always lose. A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years."
"Yunlong, you must think thrice before you act and proceed slowly. Don't let a moment of recklessness lead to lifelong regret."
"Oh! I understand," Yunlong said.
Liu Anran saw that the terrain near the mountain was slightly higher, which was perfect for building a small wooden house, so she took out a machete and started cutting down trees.
"Mom, are you going to farm here?" Yunlong asked.
"I want to build a small wooden hut here first, a place to rest, and then start cultivating the land," Liu Anran said.
Liu Anran cut down more than 200 square meters of trees, then took out a sickle to cut the grass. Wiping the sweat from her face, she looked at Yunlong and said, "Let's stop here for today. Let's go back to our space to rest and continue working tomorrow."
When Chu Yunxiao saw the diapers that Liu Anran had discarded, his face lit up with ecstasy. He was now 100% certain that Anran was in the mountains, and he had finally found her.
"Blackie, it's getting dark. Let's rest here and continue looking for An Ran tomorrow," Chu Yunxiao said, panting as he sat on the ground.
After hearing Chu Yunxiao's words, Blackie lay on the ground, panting heavily, his ears drooping.
Chu Yunxiao could tell at a glance that Hei Pi was exhausted, so he rubbed Hei Pi's head.
"Blackie, once we find An Ran, I'll have her cook you something delicious to treat you."
Upon hearing this, Blackie's eyes lit up immediately. This was a good idea; it hadn't had any delicious food in a long time.
After Chu Yunxiao and Hei Pi had rested enough, Chu Yunxiao took out a bottle of water, drank a couple of sips himself, then took out a large bowl, poured the remaining water into it, placed it in front of Hei Pi, and said, "Drink water first, and I'll give you cornbread later."
Blackie stood up, wagged its tail at Chu Yunxiao, and lowered its head to drink water.
Chu Yunxiao took out the tent, quickly set it up, and then took out the sleeping bag and laid it out before stepping out of the tent.
Chu Yunxiao put two cornbreads in a large bowl for Hei Pi, and then ate two cornbreads himself. He then took Hei Pi into the tent, pulled the tent up, said "Goodnight" to Hei Pi, and crawled into his sleeping bag to rest.
Chu Yunxiao closed his eyes, a smile playing on his lips. He was about to see An Ran and the child.
Thinking that he would soon see the person he had been longing for day and night, Chu Yunxiao was so excited that he couldn't sleep. He forced himself to get a good rest so that he would have the energy to go see An Ran tomorrow.
next day
As soon as it was light, Chu Yunxiao woke up. After a quick wash, he had breakfast with Hei Pi. Chu Yunxiao then put his sleeping bag and tent into his spatial storage and continued searching for Liu Anran with Hei Pi.
Liu Anran left the space, picked up the trees and grass and threw them aside. Looking at the empty space, she took out a hoe and began to dig out the tree roots and grass roots.
While working, Liu Anran suddenly heard a dog barking. She quickly looked in the direction of the sound and saw Blackie running towards her. Liu Anran was completely stunned.
Blackie! Blackie actually came looking for me, and even found me!
Wow, dogs really do have a keen sense of smell!
When Liu Anran saw Chu Yunxiao behind Hei Pi, she was stunned and dropped the hoe in her hand to the ground!
Chu Yunxiao came to find her and the child. He did not abandon her and the child, nor did he stay with Bai Lu.
