He was certain that Ya Ling had indeed been beyond medical help before.
What exactly did Shen Miao do?
He was dying of curiosity. Qingchen had the same problem before, and he recovered after surgery. Did Shen Miao have some kind of secret formula?
"Shen Miao, how did you do that?" Lin Shousheng leaned closer and asked.
Shen Miao smiled faintly and said mysteriously, "It's a secret."
After saying that, he drifted away.
Lin Shousheng was left stamping his feet on the spot. It's always like this, he always says the same thing, humph!
...
The children's spiritual energy was blocked, and they made little progress for a long time, which made Shen Miao a little anxious.
She knew that high-quality beast crystals could enhance spiritual power, but the problem was that the wild beasts in the back mountains generally didn't have high-quality beast crystals in their bodies.
Since they can't be traded in the beast arena, it means that the children's advancement will be stuck indefinitely.
Shen Miao ran to ask Jiu Ying.
Jiuying told her that high-quality beast crystals could be obtained from the bodies of magical beasts.
Shen Miao lowered her head and thought for a moment, then had an idea.
She was hesitating about how to bring it up with Qingchen when Qingchen came to find her first.
"The kids want to go out and play tonight."
When Qingchen spoke, for some reason, he didn't dare to look Shen Miao in the eye.
Shen Miao, preoccupied with her own thoughts, didn't pay much attention to these matters and casually replied, "Let them go out then. I'll take them out after we eat."
Let's go together.
Shen Miao was stunned for a moment, then realized what she meant and raised the corners of her mouth, "Okay."
Night falls, and the tribe is quiet.
Shen Miao stayed by Qing Chen's side. She rarely went out at night, and seeing the tribe at night had a different meaning.
The children were very excited, as it was the first time they had been brought out by both their parents at the same time. They were so happy that they were skipping and jumping as they walked, while Chen Miao and Qing Chen walked at a leisurely pace.
Unbeknownst to them, they had already left the tribe and arrived at a more secluded place.
Just as Shen Miao was annoyed that she had gone too far, she suddenly heard Qingchen's voice, "We've arrived."
What's here?
Shen Miao was puzzled. Following his finger, she saw a clear spring with an old tree next to it and two stone benches under the tree.
Judging from how smooth that stool is, it must have been sat on by quite a few people.
Qingchen patted the stool, gesturing for Shen Miao to sit down.
Shen Miao walked over and sat down. She looked up and saw glimmers of silver light leaking through the gaps in the trees. She reached out and caught the starlight, and couldn't help but smile.
Qingchen watched her silently from the side, and without realizing it, the corners of his mouth also turned up.
Seeing this, the children huddled together and whispered amongst themselves. Shen Miao, oblivious, turned to Qing Chen and asked, "How did you find this place?"
“In the past, when we went out hunting and came back tired, we would come here to rest for a while.”
"You really know how to enjoy yourself," Shen Miao joked.
Qingchen twitched the corner of her mouth, and Shen Miao asked again, "Why did you suddenly think of coming here?"
Qingchen looked at her, and whether it was because of the darkness or something else, Shen Miao felt that his eyes were darker and deeper than before.
If you stare at it for too long, it's almost like you're being sucked in.
Just when Shen Miao thought Qingchen wouldn't answer, he suddenly spoke up, "Let me show you."
"Huh?" Shen Miao was stunned, staring blankly at Qing Chen.
Not knowing what he meant, and about to ask further, Qingchen casually looked away, pointed to the ceiling, and said, "Look, fireflies."
Shen Miao snapped out of her daze and suddenly realized that they were surrounded by fireflies, tiny insects carrying little lights on their backs, flying up and down around them.
In the distance are hazy green mountains, overhead are treetops like umbrellas, fireflies flutter around, and there is a shimmering spring nearby. This scene is dreamlike no matter how you look at it.
Shen Miao had long forgotten the question she was about to ask, and was only focused on watching this fairytale-like scene.
"How can there be so many fireflies?" she asked in surprise.
Qingchen pointed to the little ones.
Da Bao jumped out and giggled, "Mommy, we caught it."
He also showed the empty bottle to Shen Miao.
Shen Miao was both amused and touched by the children's painstaking efforts.
That night, Shen Miao and Qing Chen sat by the spring all night, talking a lot. In the end, Shen Miao didn't know how she fell asleep. When she woke up, it was already dawn, and she was leaning on Qing Chen's shoulder.
Qingchen sat upright, and it was unclear how long he had maintained that posture.
Shen Miao quickly got up and said apologetically, "Did I hurt you?"
"It's nothing." Qingchen said calmly, but the shoulder that Shen Miao was leaning on felt a little stiff.
Shen Miao was a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, "Well, what about the little ones?"
"I went back last night."
"Oh dear, I fell asleep, why didn't you wake me up?"
Qingchen: "There's no need."
Shen Miao looked at his still expressionless face, and for some reason, her face suddenly felt hot.
After the two returned home and had dinner, Shen Miao called the children over and told them something: she was going to go out of the courtyard.
The children were surprised to hear this and quickly asked, "Where is Mother going? When will she be back?"
Shen Miao thought for a moment, "Hmm, it's not certain yet. It could take a few days, a few months, or even a year. You all need to be good and listen to your father at home, okay?"
When the little ones heard that it would take so long, they all immediately wilted.
"Mother, can we not go? What will we children do if we miss you?" Sanbao held Shenmiao's hand reluctantly.
The four little ones snuggled right into Shen Miao's arms.
Erbao's eyes darted around, and he asked, "Does Dad know, Mom, that you're going so far away? Dad definitely won't agree to it."
“Your father already agreed last night,” Shen Miao said with a smile.
Erbao snorted, "I don't believe it."
Shen Miao said, "Ask your father."
Qingchen sat down next to them, confirming Shen Miao's words. The children felt like the sky had fallen. Da Bao asked incredulously, "Daddy, why did you agree to Mommy's request? It's dangerous for her to go out alone."
"In your heart, is your mother so weak?" Shen Miao raised an eyebrow.
Da Bao muttered, "If we take you along, we won't be weak anymore."
Shen Miao chuckled, ruffled their hair, and said softly, "When you're a little older, Mommy will take you. Not now, stay home with Daddy and wait for Mommy to come back."
Despite the children's reluctance, Shen Miao still set off.
On the day she left, the children were angry with her and tried to force Shen Miao to change her mind, but Shen Miao did not give in and was seen out by Qing Chen and Jiu Ying.
They were almost out of the tribe when several children came running up, shouting "Mother!"
Shen Miao stopped and bid a reluctant farewell to the children. In the end, her eyes were red, and she quickly turned around and asked Qing Chen to take them back.
The children insisted on watching Shen Miao leave.
Seeing that familiar figure walking further and further away, Sanbao and Sibao rushed into Qingchen's arms and burst into tears.
Da Bao and Er Bao fought back their tears, and Jiu Ying knelt down and hugged them tightly.
