Mu Lan looked at his mother blankly, "Mommy, where are you going?"
"We haven't had dinner yet. Mommy is going to pick some grapes to fill our stomachs. Otherwise, we'll be very hungry tonight," Lu Wanqing said.
Little Mu Lan quickly said, "I'll go with you!"
"No, it's too late, and it's dangerous outside. Lan Lan should wait for me at home," Lu Wanqing said.
"And look, Uncle Zhongli is still unconscious. It's dangerous for him to be left alone at home, right? Lan Lan will help Mommy look after him, won't you?" Lu Wanqing added.
Little Mu Lan worried, "But won't Mommy be in danger going out alone?"
Lu Wanqing smiled, rubbed the child's head, and said, "No, Mommy is an adult, and besides, don't you remember, Lan Lan?"
Lu Wanqing winked at Little Mu Lan and said with a smile, "Mommy still has her mecha! If there's any real danger, Mommy will get into the mecha, and the mecha will protect Mommy!"
Little Mu Lan was stunned, then he understood. He nodded, "Yes!"
Mu Lan knew that mechas were very powerful. If Mommy could hide in a mecha, she wouldn't be in too much danger.
Time was running out, and Lu Wanqing didn't have time to say more to her child. She gave a few simple instructions, telling the child to keep the door shut until she returned and not to open it no matter what noise they heard outside. After hearing Little Mu Lan's promise, she immediately turned and left.
It was dark, and the path was unclear. However, the projection ball seemed to have a lighting function. At night, it would automatically turn on, not only facilitating filming but also illuminating the surroundings for Lu Wanqing.
Lu Wanqing also carried a bow and arrow. She thought, if she was lucky, she might even catch a bird.
Even just one bird would be enough to make a dinner for Little Lan Lan.
Thinking this, Lu Wanqing walked through the forest. As she walked, she suddenly noticed an animal resembling a pheasant in the bushes ahead. She was stunned for a moment, blinked, and couldn't help but stare.
It was indeed a pheasant, and a really big one!!!
Lu Wanqing's heart suddenly pounded. She couldn't control herself, feeling happy.
In the darkness, she quietly took out her bow and arrow. Under the light of the projection ball, she aimed at the pheasant and shot an arrow. The pheasant didn't even move; it was hit directly!
She actually hit it!
Lu Wanqing couldn't believe her good luck and hurried over. However, as she approached the bushes, she was stunned again. There were so many thorns!
The bushes were covered with thorny vines, densely packed, making it difficult to get inside.
What should she do?
Lu Wanqing thought, and a flash of inspiration struck her. She thought of the mecha!
Humans were afraid of plant thorns, but mechas were not. Flattening these plants with a mecha would be a matter of minutes!
At the Mu family residence, Mu Sijie, the other elders of the Mu family, including Mu Sirui and Butler Mu, were all watching Lu Wanqing's live stream.
Seeing Lu Wanqing going out so late to find food for Lan Lan, they were very worried. When they saw Lu Wanqing discover the pheasant, they were happy.
When Lu Wanqing shot the pheasant, the whole family breathed a sigh of relief.
But soon, seeing that the bushes around the pheasant were covered in thorny plants, and Lu Wanqing couldn't get close, their hearts rose again with worry for Lu Wanqing.
They instinctively became anxious, thinking about what to do, how Lu Wanqing could retrieve the pheasant from the thorny bushes.
However, before their minds could come up with a solution, in the next second, Lu Wanqing suddenly took out a space button and released a mecha!
This was an A-class mecha that Lu Wanqing had built during her practice sessions. Now, Lu Wanqing released the mecha, opened the cockpit door, and entered it.
The entire Mu family was stunned, including Mu Sijie. Then they watched as Lu Wanqing, after entering the mecha, piloted it towards the bushes.
The mecha's outer shell was hard, and these thorny bushes couldn't cause any damage to it. On the contrary, with a kick to the left and a pull of the hand to the right, one clump after another of thorny bushes was torn away, clearing a path in the middle.
Mu Sijie quickly regained his senses. A smile tugged at the corner of his lips, and he couldn't help but chuckle.
Using a mecha to clear thorny bushes, only Lu Wanqing could do this in the entire Interstellar Era, right? Or perhaps, only Lu Wanqing could think of using a mecha to deal with bushes.
In the subconscious of everyone in the Interstellar Era, mechas were used for combat; they were powerful weapons!
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Wen Lan and Mu An also reacted and smiled. The couple exchanged a look, seeing the mirth in each other's eyes.
"Wanqing is truly intelligent," Wen Lan said again.
"Yes," Mu An couldn't help but agree with a nod.
"So mechas can be used like this, it's quite good, haha," Grandma Mu Sijie chuckled, clearly amused.
"Yes, we never thought of it before," Grandpa Mu Sijie couldn't help but say.
Mu Sirui also thought Sister Wanqing was amazing, truly amazing. She had been quite sad when her elder brother didn't agree to marry Yuan Yuan before, but now, she suddenly felt that her elder brother was a better match for Sister Wanqing. If her elder brother got together with Sister Wanqing, their family would be very happy in the future!
Sister Wanqing was excellent, and elder brother was also excellent. Perhaps only a woman as outstanding and perfect as Sister Wanqing was worthy of her elder brother. Yuan Yuan... compared to Sister Wanqing, she was far behind.
Lu Wanqing was unaware of the Mu family's thoughts. She controlled the mecha and easily cleared the bushes. Then she got out of the mecha and effortlessly picked up the shot pheasant.
The moment she held the pheasant in her hand, she vaguely recalled that a long, long time ago, when she was very young, she had visited her grandparents' home in the countryside. She seemed to remember that the old folks there had said that chickens at night were like blind people, unable to see clearly and wouldn't move much.
She held the pheasant up to her eyes and then couldn't help but laugh. It was truly a stroke of luck, effortless!
With the pheasant in hand, Lu Wanqing no longer bothered to pick grapes. She carried the pheasant and immediately headed back.
In the bamboo house, Little Mu Lan had been waiting for his mother to return. He kept looking outside. It was so dark outside, and there were sounds of many small animals in the forest, giving a sense of indescribable danger. He was afraid something might happen to Mommy!
Every second Mommy was away seemed to stretch endlessly. Little Mu Lan waited anxiously, looking outside from time to time, then glancing at Uncle Zhongli, who was still unconscious in the house.
Suddenly, a light appeared outside. His eyes lit up, and he immediately ran to the door, peeking out through the crack.
Seeing that it was Mommy, Little Mu Lan immediately opened the door of the bamboo house and rushed out with joy, "Mommy!"
