Chapter 545 Tell the Secret to He Yushui
She walked quickly to them, squatted down, reached out her hand and gently stroked An An's majestic head, and said softly:
"An'an, Pingping, we are leaving now."
Her voice was as gentle as a mountain stream, flowing in the cave. After a pause, she continued:
"You must take good care of the baby. Don't let the little guy get cold or hungry in this icy and snowy weather. Next time I come to see you, I will definitely bring you some delicious food, and..."
At this point, He Yushui's eyes lit up and an excited smile appeared on her face.
"Next time I will come to help you choose a name for your baby. I promise to give it a nice and impressive name, so that it can become a little tyrant in the forest like An An."
An An seemed to understand what He Yushui said. There was a trace of reluctance in its big, copper-bell-like eyes, and a low snoring sound came from its throat.
She gently rubbed her head against He Yushui's hand, as if saying goodbye to her. Pingping also raised her head slightly, her eyes full of nostalgia, and she whimpered softly.
Seeing this, He Yushui felt more and more reluctant to leave, but she also knew that she had to leave.
So she stood up, took a last look at An An and Ping Ping, as well as the newborn baby behind them, then turned around, said goodbye, and followed Wang Jianguo towards the cave entrance.
An An and Ping Ping just lay there, watching them leave without blinking. An An stood up from time to time, stretching his neck to see further.
Pingping also raised her head slightly, her eyes closely following the backs of He Yushui and Wang Jianguo.
It was not until their figures completely disappeared from the cave entrance and were swallowed up by the increasingly bright sky that An An and Ping Ping slowly lowered their heads and snuggled together again, with reluctance still lingering in their eyes.
Outside the cave, Wang Jianguo and He Yushui walked quickly towards home in the gradually brightening sky. They knew that Brother Shuzhuo was still waiting for them.
The strong wind, accompanied by heavy snow, was rampant between heaven and earth, as if it was going to swallow up the entire world into this endless white chaos.
Wang Jianguo and He Yushui supported each other and moved forward with difficulty in the waist-deep snow. Every step forward seemed like they were fighting against a tremendous force.
Their faces had already been frozen red, with fine frost covering their eyebrows and eyelashes. As soon as the hot air came out, it was instantly condensed into thick white mist by the cold air, blurring each other's vision.
The long trek in extreme cold had severely exhausted He Yushui's physical strength. Her legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead. Every time she lifted them, they trembled violently, and her steps became more and more unsteady.
Wang Jianguo noticed her abnormality and felt distressed. He quickly stopped and, regardless of his already frozen hands, struggled to take off his worn but extremely warm fur coat and carefully wrapped it around He Yushui.
He also carefully helped her fasten her collar to minimize the intrusion of cold wind.
Then, he held He Yushui's arm tightly, using his body to block some of the howling cold wind for her, and kept saying warm and encouraging words:
"Yushui, hold on a little longer. We'll soon reach the mountain pass. Once we pass the pass, we'll be able to find our bikes and it will be much easier. You can do it!"
In this almost hopeless predicament, with tenacious perseverance, the two finally saw the vague outline of the mountain pass.
At that moment, a light of hope burst into their eyes, as if they saw the dawn in the darkness, and their pace unconsciously quickened a little.
After stumbling to the mountain pass, they found the bicycle, which was half buried in snow, behind a huge rock.
Wang Jianguo hurried forward and used his numb hands to vigorously dig through the thick snow. He then bent down and carefully checked each part of the bicycle, fearing that the vehicle might be damaged in such bad weather.
Fortunately, except for some ice on the chain, the car was fine. Wang Jianguo carefully knocked on the chain to clear the ice.
Then he helped He Yushui sit on the back seat, got on the bicycle himself, and pedaled hard towards the village against the strong wind.
Along the way, the biting cold wind whistled past his ears like a sharp whistle, making it almost impossible for Wang Jianguo to open his eyes. His legs, which were pedaling, had long lost the feeling, and he mechanically repeated the pedaling action, but did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
He Yushui sat in the back seat, hugging Wang Jianguo's waist tightly, trying to draw some warmth from him. Her body was shivering in the cold wind and her teeth were chattering uncontrollably.
During this difficult journey with the sounds of wind and wheels rolling, Wang Jianguo was gasping for breath while repeatedly weighing a crucial matter in his heart.
The mysterious space he obtained by chance has always been like a huge secret hidden deep in his heart. He wanted to bring a shocking surprise to everyone after it was completely opened.
But looking at He Yushui, who was exhausted but trusted him very much, he felt that she had the right to know this news that could change her fate. After hesitating for a long time, he made up his mind.
Wang Jianguo cleared his throat, which had been dried by the cold wind, and raised his voice to ensure that He Yushui could hear his words clearly amid the whistling wind:
"Yushui, I have something very happy to tell you."
He Yushui raised his head slightly when he heard this, and said "hmm" in doubt, his voice a little weak. Wang Jianguo continued:
"You know, the mysterious space I mentioned before, I have been thinking about how to open it whenever I have free time. I have been studying it day and night, and now I have completed 70% of it!"
Speaking of this, Wang Jianguo's voice could hardly conceal his excitement and pride.
"What does this mean?"
Wang Jianguo asked himself and answered his own questions.
"It means that we can now take items from space. It's like we have an infinite warehouse out of thin air. Whether it's food or daily necessities, as long as we need it, we can just reach out and take it out."
"And, what's even more amazing is that we can also transfer items into the space and store things that we don't need temporarily. It's both safe and convenient."
He Yushui's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, his mouth slightly opened, as if he wanted to say something, but he was choked by surprise. After a long while, he stammered out a few words:
"Brother Jianguo, this... is this true?"
Wang Jianguo paused, and then revealed:
"Also, I have been exploring everywhere recently, traveling all over the surrounding mountains and rivers. God helps those who work hard, and I finally found a place with abundant spiritual energy."
"You know, this kind of spiritual energy is crucial to opening the space. With it, it is like adding lubricant to the key to open the lock. Soon, we will be able to open all the spaces!"
