Chapter 32 Gunshots

They haven't dared to go back into their space to eat meat for five or six days. They've been eating dry food outside, which is just plain steamed buns and cornbread.

These refined grains are considered very good for others, but for those of them who are used to eating refined grains, eating this for several days in a row is considered quite coarse.

Back in their space, the first thing they thought of was taking a shower and then eating meat. The space's meat warehouse had all sorts of cooked meat in various ways, with so many options that they could easily find whatever meat they wanted and how they wanted it prepared by simply going to the warehouse.

"Sweetie, what kind of meat do you want to eat?" He Yuping looked at the countless pieces of meat on the shelf in front of her, and she really didn't know where to start.

"Braised pork belly, tomato beef brisket, seaweed soup, and hot and sour shredded potatoes, Mom, which one do you want to eat?" The mother and daughter each took a plate and a pair of chopsticks, just like at a buffet, adding whichever meat they wanted.

“I want tomato beef brisket, and I also want shredded potatoes. I want sweet and sour pork ribs. That mushroom, corn, and vegetable soup can only be found in Russian restaurants here, and it’s very expensive. Daughter, you can’t tell anyone except your mother, understand? You know, ‘A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.’ Your mother doesn’t want you to be in any danger.” He Yuping suddenly warned her daughter seriously, for some reason.

The world outside is not peaceful right now. If others find out about her daughter's ability, who knows what kind of commotion it will cause? She must keep this secret about her daughter, keep it tightly under wraps, in order to protect her.

"I understand, Mother. I want to eat eight-treasure rice." He Caiwei wasn't stupid, of course, and told her mother, but she had no other choice at the time.

Moreover, she now has short legs and arms, making it difficult for her to do many things; she still needs her mother, an adult, to do them.

Looking at her carefree daughter, He Yuping secretly decided that once they arrived in Pengcheng and settled down with her father, she would try her best to prevent her daughter from using anything from this treasure.

No matter what, using it will leave a trace. If someone with ulterior motives finds something to use against them, their whole family will not be able to escape.

After the mother and daughter finished eating and watched TV for a while, they looked at the sky outside and saw that it was completely dark. They had thought that the dark and windy night would be perfect for them to travel, but then they suddenly remembered that she didn't know the way at all.

These days, he has discovered many interesting things through television, such as electronic navigation. With this, no matter where you want to go, it can accurately help you find the place. If they had this, wouldn't they be able to reach Shenzhen faster?

After figuring things out, He Yuping ran to the tool shed and started rummaging through everything. He Caiwei didn't know what her mother was looking for, so she asked. Her mother just said that once she found it herself, she wouldn't let her worry about it anymore. Then, He Caiwei, carefree, took a big bowl of strawberries and sat on the sofa in the living room, watching a pre-recorded variety show while eating strawberries, until her mother came out of the tool shed with a small box in surprise. Only then did she look up at her mother.

With just one glance, she knew what was inside the box. An electronic navigation system—these are usually installed automatically in cars, so car owners don't need to install them manually. Why was her mother looking for this?

"Mom, why are you looking for this? It's already in the car. You just need to open it. If you take it out, it won't fit, and neither of us knows how to install it." He Caiwei really couldn't bear to discourage her mother, but in order to prevent her mother from doing anything reckless, she could only act as a dutiful daughter.

He Yuping didn't think much of it, but her eyes lit up immediately when she heard that the car had this thing on it.

She immediately ran to the car they had parked in the open space outside the yard. He Yuping opened the passenger door, scooped up her daughter and placed her in the passenger seat. After closing the door, she ran to the other side, opened the door, and got in.

Then, following He Caiwei's instructions, they turned on the electronic navigation system that was already installed in the car.

Half an hour later, He Yuping, having learned how to use electronic navigation, finally emerged from the space with her daughter.

They got another car, the same kind used by wealthy people these days, except those cars are fuel-powered, while theirs is electric. They only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming the electronic navigation system still worked. With this navigation, their journey would be much smoother.

Moreover, the car was exceptionally quiet, making no sound at all. As long as she didn't honk the horn, the two headlights at the front of the car were exceptionally bright, illuminating their path.

The mother and daughter rested during the day and traveled at night. Five days later, they were approaching the provincial capital of Guangfu. Aside from the electronic navigation, it was like they had a cheat code; the journey was incredibly smooth. The road they were currently traveling on was flanked by endless mountains on both sides.

In the dead of night, they suddenly heard gunshots coming from the mountain, and the sound seemed to be not far away.

The mother and daughter looked at each other, wondering if something was going to happen so late at night. They both instinctively wanted to go and join in the fun.

They have a space, so if there is danger, they can just hide in the space. If they encounter those bastards, they might be able to get a few weapons for self-defense from them.

The two found a relatively secluded large rock, hid behind it to retract the car into their storage space, and then the mother and daughter disguised themselves again before climbing up the mountain.

Gunshots still occasionally rang out, as if guiding them the way. When they reached a certain point, the gunshots suddenly stopped.

The mother and daughter dared not go any further and instead found a place to hide. Half an hour passed without any further movement, which puzzled He Caiwei. It shouldn't be this quiet; even if both sides were seriously injured, surely someone should still be alive.

He Caiwei whispered in her mother's ear, "Mother, let's go take a look, but you have to hold my hand tightly. If anything goes wrong, I'll immediately pull you back into the space."

He Yuping nodded, took her daughter's hand, and carefully groped forward. In the pitch black, only He Caiwei could see the way clearly.

They were currently on a hillside where the trees weren't very dense, but there weren't many dead branches or leaves either. As He Caiwei pulled her mother forward, she also had to keep an eye on what was under her feet. Often, they would be found on a single dead branch, so she had to be very careful.

After walking a short distance, they arrived at the scene of the accident. This place was in the middle of the forest, with many messy footprints on the ground and several corpses dressed in black.

The way they died was truly gruesome; a single shot to the head, their eyes wide open. He Caiwei was terrified by their wide-open eyes.

He Yuping covered her mouth tightly to stop herself from screaming. She had just thought the person was alive, and she was terrified.
