Several people raised their knives and stabbed at the giant birds around them. Xin Xin, holding a small dagger, stabbed as she spoke, "Let you bite Mommy, let you bite Sister..."
When he saw the crystal he had taken out, his eyes lit up with excitement, and his face beamed with undisguised joy.
Big Black and Shar Pei ate while scratching at the crystals with their paws, then brought them to their little owner. Xin Xin kept putting the crystals into her backpack, grinning from ear to ear...
Hanhan ate a bag of instant noodles, a sausage, and drank a bottle of cola, and then joined in!
Each crystal was different in shape, but all of them were dazzling. Without missing a single one, in no time, more than a hundred crystals were packed into the huge backpack!
Seeing the backpack that was almost as tall as Xin Xin, the group was overjoyed!
Everyone quickly washed up, changed into clean clothes, rinsed Shar-Peis and Big Black with clean water, and then wrapped them in clean towels, with each of the two sisters holding one.
Just as the group was about to set off, Leng Fengmei habitually looked around and spotted two dark, hill-like figures standing in the distance amidst the fields...
Seeing Leng Fengmei staring blankly into the distance, Song Chengyang asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"Wait here for a moment!" Leng Fengmei grabbed an empty backpack and ran off into the distance.
Song Chengyang looked carefully in that direction but didn't see anything. He turned to his two daughters and asked, "Can you see anything over there?"
Hanhan: "Can't see"
Xin Xin: "It seems...it seems like there's a big monster."
Song Chengyang: ...
Leng Fengmei became more and more excited as she got closer, because she saw something familiar. However, there was a lot of bird droppings around, and she thought, "Won't they have all been absorbed?"
The moment I got close, I felt the energy fluctuations, and my heart pounded with excitement. Ignoring the bird droppings above, I punched down, and a faint light pierced through. I then split it open with both hands, and a meteorite the size of a rugby ball emerged...
It's so small! I felt disappointed at the same time, and I scolded myself for being so ungrateful. I opened my backpack and easily put it in!
There's another one over there; maybe the real deal is yet to come...
A fist was thrown down—it was only slightly bigger than a soccer ball.
The two capsules weren't enough to fill the container, so a few more fragments were added. Still unwilling to give up, it looked around again before running towards its family, its initial excitement long gone.
Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Leng Fengmei said weakly, "We found two energy stones, but they're too small..."
Seeing that his wife wasn't very happy, Song Chengyang didn't say anything and continued driving.
They had decided to go home first, and they didn't get home until it was barely dawn!
Knock knock knock
Leng Fengmei knocked on the door forcefully, otherwise she was afraid the woman wouldn't hear her!
Since my father passed away, my mother has become addicted to her phone, keeping it on day and night. I have tried to persuade her many times, but she not only doesn't listen, but also annoys me!
Think about what the neighbors said: "This is good, otherwise she would be so bored if none of you were home!"
Yes! I am that "big traitor" who never sees the good things happen, but always gets a share of the bad!
After hearing this kind of talk so many times, I don't even have the desire to refute or explain anymore, because explaining is useless. People who haven't experienced other people's suffering all think that their own ideas are right!
My childhood impression of my mother was that she lived a repressed life. Back then, besides venting her frustrations with curses behind my back, she would say things like, "I've had enough of living, why don't I just die..."
It's hard to understand such a family situation unless you've experienced it yourself; that oppressive feeling accompanied me for who knows how many years!
"Grandma!" Hanhan shouted loudly when she saw someone move, "Open the door quickly!"
Huh? Who? ...Why are you back...?
The group's hearing is now exceptionally sharp; they can hear even through windows!
"How did you get back?" Mother Leng, still heavy with sleep but with a hint of excitement, rubbed her eyes and looked at the people in front of her...
What should have been a two-hour drive has been delayed until now, past midnight, a time when I should be feeling very sleepy.
Looking at the phone on the kang (heated brick bed) whose battery had died, Leng Fengmei smiled and said, "Mom, my brother didn't say whether he's coming back or not. It's not safe in the city right now."
"Huh? They didn't say anything. They just called that day to ask if I was okay. I said I was fine and then hung up!"
Oh! As expected, Leng Fengmei had already told him what she knew when the signal was restored. As for what to do, Leng Fengmei would not interfere with anyone's decision!
"Mom, come with us. We want to leave this place and go outside to see the world. Animals have mutated, and plants have mutated too. It's not safe for you to stay home alone!"
"I'm not going with you. Do whatever you want. I'd rather die than leave home," she said, wiping away her tears.
"But it's alright, the country has already established new safety zones, and it shouldn't be long before all these people have a place to settle down!" Frozen Mei comforted her urgently, while secretly sighing in her heart. This mother's personality has always been like a blade of grass on a wall, without any opinions of her own. The only thing ingrained in her bones is the idea of raising children to provide for her in old age, but she doesn't care whether her son has her in his heart!
My arrogant younger brother, I don't know what kind of business he did, not only lost all the family's money but also incurred a huge debt!
But... after all, he was her family, so Leng Fengmei told him her biggest secret.
Looking at her mother playing with her child, Leng Fengmei said, "Mom, I have something to tell you, but you must remember not to tell anyone!" She looked at her mother's aged face and the fact that she always had medication on her lips, and sighed inwardly.
"Ah! What's wrong? I won't say anything. Nobody comes to our house right now. Who am I supposed to tell? Besides, your mom is a gossip, but she's not stupid!" She said, rolling her eyes at her domineering eldest daughter.
