What Shen Miao needs to do is make chili water.
She had never thought of making chili water when she was growing chili peppers. It was only after she discovered that her chicks were often bullied that the idea popped into her head.
In this world, there is no plant like chili peppers yet. The unique flavor of chili peppers is so distinctive that it can be considered a hidden weapon for enemies.
It can be used to deal with bad guys by taking them by surprise.
Shen Miao made a total of four bottles of pepper spray. Da Bao and Er Bao were capable of self-defense, so they didn't really need it. But with hidden weapons, the more the merrier, and they could always come in handy sometime.
The four children were very curious when they got the pepper spray. Shen Miao taught them how to use it. She used a small spray bottle to hold it, and the pepper spray would spray out as soon as you pressed the button.
“When bad people bully you, press on their faces, like this,” Shen Miao demonstrated.
The children answered in unison that they understood. Shen Miao then told them to put away the chili water and carry it with them. As soon as she left, the children, who were curious about everything, immediately started playing with each other.
"Wow, this makes water come out with just one press, it's so much fun!"
"I want to know if this pepper spray is really effective. Da Bao, don't move, let me spray it."
Erbao smacked Dabao on the face.
Da Bao had already closed his eyes, but the pepper spray on his face still made him feel terribly burned.
He wiped his face as he chased after Erbao, shouting, "Erbao, you stop right there, I'm going to spray you too!"
The second child was being chased, and in the process, the third and fourth children also got sprayed all over their faces.
The little ones immediately began to gang up on Erbao.
The courtyard was in complete chaos.
When the fight finally ended, all four kids were covered in red burns from the spiciness and kept wiping away tears.
When Shen Miao saw the messy yard and the four pitiful children, she almost fainted from anger. What kind of situation was this? She gave them chili water, was she supposed to let them spic up themselves? No way!
"Is it comfortable?" Shen Miao asked with a half-smile.
The four little ones shook their heads pitifully, looking uncomfortable and in great pain.
Shen Miao tapped Da Bao on the head, "So you know it's uncomfortable? I told you long ago that this is for dealing with bad guys, but you're using it on your own family."
Erbao muttered, "We just want to try it out and see if it works that well."
He thought it was just a bottle of water and couldn't see anything unusual about it. It wasn't as magical as Shen Miao had described. But reality taught him a lesson.
"Was it you who started it all? Erbao, what's with your brain all day long? Do you think your mother would lie to you or harm you?"
"...No, Mother is the best." Erbao quickly flattered her.
Shen Miao pushed his head away, coldly saying, "Don't flatter me. I'm just asking you, will you dare to do it again next time?"
The children shook their heads in unison: "We won't dare again."
Shen Miao then poured water and washed the children from head to toe. The children had just done something wrong and were obedient, not daring to resist. They let Shen Miao scrub them like a rag until her skin was almost rubbed off before she let them go.
The children exchanged glances, thinking with lingering fear that they should never challenge their mother again.
...
Shen Miao is going hunting in the mountains and has decided to take the children with her.
The children were so happy when they heard this that they almost jumped for joy.
Ever since Da Bao and Er Bao gained their abilities, they've been eager to show them off, but Shen Miao and Qing Chen won't let them go up the mountain alone. The kids have been itching to get out of it for a while now.
"I'm going to hunt lots and lots of prey," Erbao declared, puffing out his chest.
Da Bao retorted defiantly, "I can hit you even harder."
Shen Miao called her four cubs over and instructed them, "Your mother doesn't care how many prey there are. This time, the main thing is to train your abilities, understand?"
"clear."
"So what should we do when we get to the mountain?"
Shen Miao had to give them advance notice, because she was afraid that once the children got to the mountain, they would disappear like fish in the sea.
The mountains are fraught with danger, and she didn't want anything to happen to her children.
“Stay with Mommy and don’t run around,” Da Bao replied.
"Observe carefully, and don't be greedy for quick success or act rashly." This was Erbao's answer.
Shen Miao was satisfied and patted the heads of the four children: "You remember well. Let's go up the mountain!"
One adult and four children marched proudly and confidently up the mountain.
Along the way, Shen Miao taught me many methods for finding prey and how to deal with prey when encountering it. However, these were all theoretical; to truly learn something, one had to put it into practice.
Shen Miao thought to herself that as long as they didn't encounter any very large wild beasts, she would leave everything to the four cubs.
They were lucky; not long after entering the mountains, they encountered a purple fox. This type of fox is cunning and agile, but it is of average size and not very strong in combat, making it a good training ground for Da Bao and his friends.
Shen Miao immediately said, "Big Treasure, Second Treasure, Third Treasure, Fourth Treasure, bring them on!"
The four cubs were already eager to try, and immediately stepped forward, forming four corners, working together seamlessly to block the escape route of the Purple Fox.
Da Bao released a gust of wind, sending the Purple Fox tumbling. San Bao grabbed the small wooden spear that Shen Miao had specially made for them and poked the Purple Fox in the rear. The Purple Fox tried to run away, but Er Bao took a sip of water, spat it out, and forced the Purple Fox back.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiao Sibao sprayed pepper spray all over Ziwei Fox's face. Ziwei Fox closed its eyes and rolled on the ground in pain. Dabao stepped forward and stabbed Ziwei Fox's tiger with a wooden spear.
The four cubs worked together perfectly and captured their first prey.
Shen Miao had been watching from the sidelines and was very pleased to see how clever the four children were.
She took the Purple Fox, skillfully peeled off its skin, and took out a blue beast crystal from its chest.
"These are what the four of you hunted." Shen Miao showed the beast crystals to the cub.
The cubs were overjoyed, each taking the beast crystal and touching it again and again with great affection. This was the first time they had hunted a beast crystal themselves, and they would hunt even more in the future!
The prey was killed by the four cubs working together, and there was only one beast crystal, which was kept by Shen Miao in the end, and the cubs had no objections.
"Mother, let's go hunt again." Erbao was already addicted to hunting.
Shen Miao shook her head: "No rush. First, clean up the body of the Purple Fox, then bury the blood with mud. You should do the same when you go hunting alone in the future."
The children, confused, asked, "Mother, why are you doing this?"
“Because the Purple Fox is prey, its meat can be eaten, and its fur can be processed to make clothes,” Shen Miao said patiently. “Most importantly, in the mountains and forests, fresh blood can attract other prey, so it must be processed properly.”
The children suddenly realized what was going on, and they all diligently dug up soil to cover it up.
However, it was still too late.
