The children who followed couldn't understand what the adults were saying, but they could sense the adults' emotions. Their originally cheerful little mouths were now tightly shut, for fear of saying the wrong thing and making the adults even more unhappy.
It makes people feel sad when they see it.
Mo Qianshang didn't mean to discourage everyone; it's just that we need everyone to work together right now, and she couldn't think of any good solutions on her own.
Some things in the store are not suitable to be shown to everyone, otherwise she will be regarded as a monster!
She knew, of course, that if what she produced could help everyone get through this difficult time, they would certainly thank her at first, but who knows what would happen later...
She had been hurt by humanity during a mission before, so she really didn't dare to take this risk.
But seeing everyone so depressed wasn't a solution, she cleared her throat and offered her opinion to the village chief.
"Village chief, it's raining again. It looks like the river down the mountain is going to rise even higher. It's not a good time for us to keep going. Anyway, we have some small shelters to take shelter from the rain. How about we stay here for the time being?"
Upon hearing this, the other villagers all looked over expectantly. The village chief had no better solution and could only agree with Mo Qianshang's suggestion.
"Alright, let's wait until the rain stops and then organize some villagers to go down the mountain together to take a look. Maybe we can come up with a solution based on the surrounding terrain."
Now everyone can only pin their hopes on this. Everyone tacitly agreed not to refute or predict the worst, but simply sighed a few times before hanging their heads and returning to their respective sheds to take shelter from the rain.
Mo Qianshang was the same, but her mind was still racing, and she kept thinking about what she could exchange for in the mall.
Reinforcing a wooden bridge is a major undertaking, and small, ordinary tools won't do much good.
But steel and the like are too conspicuous and cannot be taken out casually.
Even if she bought a second-hand item from the mall, dumped it in the woods, and then pretended to find it, the villagers probably wouldn't know how to use it.
If she acts like she knows a lot, it will arouse the villagers' suspicion.
This is really a headache!
The rain drizzled for most of the day, and the children stayed quietly around her, some practicing their martial arts and others reading.
Only Da Hua seemed a little irritable. Mo Qian Chang had been worried about the wooden bridge all day and had forgotten to feed it bamboo shoots.
It ate all the bamboo shoots we had prepared earlier, leaving only one or two. If we don't get some fresh ones soon, it will go hungry tonight.
Qin Heming noticed that something was wrong with Da Hua, so he quickly went over, picked Da Hua up and moved it aside, and quietly scolded it.
"Dahua, Mommy has something to do today and can't play with you. Be a good girl."
Big Flower: Pah! Who wants to offend her or play with her? It just wants to fill its stomach, okay?
It was obvious that Qin Heming hadn't understood Da Hua's meaning. Seeing Da Hua's unconvinced expression, he was prepared to continue reasoning with her.
Not wanting to suffer for her ears, Da Hua had no choice but to grab Qin Heming's trouser leg, walk to the remaining two small bamboo shoots, and pat them with her paws.
It gestured for Qin Heming to take a good look, explaining that it had been wandering around Mo Qianshang because its food supplies were running low.
As the smartest of the four little ones, Qin Heming quickly understood what Da Hua meant and ruffled Da Hua's fluffy head a few times.
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you earlier. But you shouldn't bother your mother anymore. I'll take my brother to dig bamboo shoots for you. If you'd like, you can come with us."
Big Flower is a wild animal, and everyone's mood was a bit low today. Staying in the same place was too boring, so it nodded at Qin Heming as if it were a human.
This indicates that it chose to go with them to dig for bamboo shoots.
Qin Heming looked around and found that his younger siblings were all busy with their own things, so it seemed that only he had taken Da Hua out.
However, to prevent Mo Qianshang from worrying about him after she came to her senses, he walked up to Qin Zixuan, who was practicing martial arts.
"Third brother, Da Hua's bamboo shoots are almost gone. I'm taking him out to dig some. If Mother asks later, just tell her the truth. I'll be back soon, so Mother won't worry."
Qin Zixuan was focused on practicing martial arts, so he smiled, nodded, and said goodbye to his older brother.
Watching his elder brother's departing figure, he suddenly felt as if he had overlooked something, but he couldn't remember it no matter how hard he tried.
He simply put aside his doubts and focused on practicing martial arts.
Only by mastering excellent skills can he protect his mother, brothers, and sisters. Of course, he also needs to help his master fend off unwanted romantic advances!
His master, seeing Qin Heming leave with Da Hua, was slightly puzzled and was about to ask Qin Zixuan when he suddenly stopped.
Qin Heming is the eldest child in the family, and he's reached an age where he should be sensible and know what he can and cannot do. It's best not to interfere too much with his growth.
After all, this child will likely have to shoulder more responsibilities in the future than he is facing now...
About fifteen minutes later, Qin Baiyi, who had been calm, suddenly rushed to Qin Zixuan with a slightly flustered expression, as if he had remembered something.
"Zixuan, what did Heming just tell you he went to do?"
"Digging bamboo shoots! Master, didn't you hear me?" Qin Zixuan tilted his little head and obediently repeated Qin Heming's words.
"My older brother said that Da Hua's bamboo shoots are almost gone, so we need to..."
As a result, Qin Baiyi didn't even finish listening to what he said. With a light touch of his toes, he used his lightness skill to rush in the direction Qin Heming had left.
Hopefully, the child was unlucky this time and hadn't found any bamboo shoots yet...
Qin Heming, who was scratching his hand, suddenly sneezed. He frowned and glanced at Da Hua beside him, muttering to himself with a hint of worry.
"My health isn't bad, but I just tried digging some bamboo shoots. I shouldn't have caught a cold, right?" His mother was already busy enough, and he didn't want her to worry.
Da Hua seemed to understand what he said, and shook her head in agreement. Then she used her mouth to toss the bamboo shoots that Qin Heming had dug out into the small basket.
They continued digging for a while, when suddenly they heard a startling rustling of leaves all around them. Big Flower instinctively stepped in front of Qin Heming, putting on a fierce expression.
Thinking it was another animal in the forest, Big Flower glanced back at Qin Heming and prepared to roar a few times to scare away the creature that had suddenly appeared.
As soon as it opened its mouth, Qin Baiyi, dressed in flowing white robes, landed in front of them. Without saying a word, she raised her hand and pressed down on Qin Heming's shoulder to examine him carefully.
When his gaze fell on the small red bump on Qin Heming's neck, his dark pupils suddenly deepened, the pressure around him instantly dropped, and his magnetic, pleasant voice was filled with anger.
"Who gave you permission to come dig bamboo shoots? Don't you know your health condition?"
Startled by the sudden outburst, Qin Heming immediately took a step back, forcefully shaking off Qin Baiyi's hand that had landed on his shoulder, his eyes filled with confusion.
"Uncle in white, I was just digging bamboo shoots for Da Hua, I didn't do anything wrong, what are you doing..."
