Bird eggs cooked easily, but it was likely more difficult because they were wrapped in mud. Lu Wanqing stared at the campfire, adding a few more branches to it from time to time.
After a long while, when she felt the bird eggs should be cooked, Lu Wanqing carefully used a small wooden stick to scoop an egg out of the fire.
"Mommy, is it ready?" Mu Lan's eyes lit up as he asked expectantly.
"Let me see," Lu Wanqing said, reaching for the egg that had been scooped out. But as soon as her hand got close, it felt hot, and she quickly pulled it back.
"Mommy? Are you burned?" Mu Lan noticed and immediately looked at Lu Wanqing with concern.
Lu Wanqing shook her head and explained, "It's a bit hot, let's wait a bit longer."
"Okay, okay!" Mu Lan was very obedient. Seeing that his mommy had been burned, he didn't rush her anymore. He said understandingly, "We can wait a little longer."
Lu Wanqing chuckled. Lanlan was indeed becoming more thoughtful and sensible.
"Alright," Lu Wanqing agreed with a smile.
Lu Wanqing waited for a while longer until it felt less hot to the touch. Then, she wrapped the egg in a leaf and carefully peeled away the mud. She then cracked open the eggshell.
Seeing the fully cooked egg white, Lu Wanqing smiled and said to Mu Lan, "It should be done!"
Mu Lan's eyes immediately brightened.
Lu Wanqing broke off the eggshell and then the egg white, revealing the roasted yolk. She divided half of the yolk and egg white for Mu Lan.
"Try it?" Lu Wanqing asked gently.
"Mmm, mmm!" Mu Lan quickly agreed, extending his little hands and eagerly taking the egg.
The bird eggs were actually quite small. Half for each person was barely enough to satisfy their hunger, but both Lu Wanqing and Mu Lan ate with great joy.
Most importantly, there were still many eggs in the campfire, so they could eat their fill today.
Lu Wanqing made sure all the eggs were cooked, then extinguished the campfire and scooped out all the roasted eggs.
Mu Lan also reached out to grab an egg, but Lu Wanqing quickly reminded him, "Be careful, it's hot. Wait a moment before you take it."
"Okay," Mu Lan agreed. He had seen his mommy get burned just now.
The mother and son waited for a while longer. During this time, Lu Wanqing fanned the eggs with leaves to help them cool down faster.
Once they felt it was cool enough, Lu Wanqing called Mu Lan to start eating!
As they began to eat, the viewers in the livestream room eagerly switched their viewing perspective to Lu Wanqing's empathy mode. This way, they could experience what Lu Wanqing was currently feeling and... virtually taste the roasted eggs.
In reality, it was still the taste of eggs, something they had eaten before. But for some reason, today's eggs tasted exceptionally fragrant, quite different from those made by the domestic robots at home.
Lu Wanqing and Mu Lan finished all the bird eggs they had gathered that day, their bellies full.
It was also getting dark. Lu Wanqing glanced towards the forest.
Although she hadn't encountered any danger during the day, she wasn't sure if it was safe at night and didn't want to take any chances.
"Lanlan, let's go back to the space capsule. It's safer to stay inside the capsule at night. There might be danger outside after dark," Lu Wanqing said.
Mu Lan nodded obediently, "Okay."
Lu Wanqing smiled and took her child back to the space capsule.
The space capsule was very small, and its airbags had already been damaged, leaving only the hard outer shell. Only now did the viewers who had been watching the wilderness survival livestream realize that Lu Wanqing and Mu Lan were not on vacation. Their ship had an accident, they were stranded, trapped here, and they could face danger at any moment!
Lu Wanqing and Mu Lan's personal terminals were broken, preventing them from accessing the internet. They didn't have a star network pod, so they couldn't log into the star network for leisure. The narrow interior of the space capsule gradually became cramped and boring.
Watching them, the audience couldn't help but worry. Many netizens even quietly left the livestream to inquire about the void storm at the meteorological department.
They hoped the void storm would pass quickly so that Lu Wanqing and Mu Lan could be rescued and return home safely!
"Lanlan, do you want to hear a story?" Inside the space capsule, Lu Wanqing fell silent for a moment, then turned to Mu Lan, who was lying beside her, and asked in a gentle voice.
Hearing his mommy's words, Mu Lan's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded, "Yes, I want to hear one!"
Mommy's stories were super good. Most importantly, when mommy told stories, she was especially gentle, and he found them incredibly captivating. He loved it!
Lu Wanqing reached out and affectionately ruffled her child's hair. Then, holding him, her voice became slow and steady as she began to tell him stories from the twenty-first century of ancient Earth.
The viewers in the livestream, who had finally emerged from the excitement of wilderness survival and were reminded that Lu Wanqing and Mu Lan were stranded and in danger, waiting for rescue, couldn't help but worry. Then they heard Lu Wanqing telling Mu Lan a story, and as they listened, they...
"Are these stories from ancient Earth? Ahhh, I need to record this to play for my own little one later!"
"Goddess's voice is too beautiful! Goddess's stories are also too good! I love it!"
"I specifically went online in the star network and brought my child here to listen to the Goddess tell stories together!"
The bullet comments in the livestream were also lively. Everyone was infected by the gentleness Lu Wanqing exuded while telling stories. And the stories from ancient Earth were also incredibly engaging. Everyone couldn't help but emit auntie smiles, completely charmed!
Mu Family.
Everyone had been anxious all day and had been glued to the livestream. They had been a million percent worried, but after watching all day, they realized that Lu Wanqing was truly capable, managing to take such good care of her child in that environment!
Wen Lan picked up a tissue and wiped the moisture from the corner of her eyes. Then she said, "Wanqing is truly a good girl. She is a strong and capable good girl!!!"
Their ship had an accident, they were stranded on a deserted planet, all their personal terminals were broken, and they only managed to contact them through the livestream. Then, by bad luck, they encountered a void storm, and no one could go for rescue. If it were someone else, they might have already broken down mentally.
"Yes," Mu An nodded in affirmation from beside her.
In just over half a year, Lu Wanqing had brought too many pleasant surprises to the Mu family. Now, when mentioning this girl, there was probably no one in the entire Mu family who didn't like her.
Mu An thought, and then looked up at Mu Sijie. His son hadn't slept for days. Ever since Lu Wanqing's incident, Sijie had been desperate to find her. After finally finding her, another accident occurred, preventing him from going to her rescue.
Mu An had previously worried that if he forcibly stopped his son from going to save Lu Wanqing and Mu Lan, Sijie might get angry. He was also afraid that Lu Wanqing and Mu Lan might truly have an accident while they were waiting, and then Sijie might never forgive him in his life.
But it was good. Wanqing was truly a wonderful girl. In such harsh conditions, she could take such good care of herself and her child. He was relieved and, at the same time, full of admiration.
"Sijie, go get some rest. You've been watching the livestream all day and you've seen it. Lu Wanqing is truly amazing. Even on a deserted planet, she can lead a good life with her child," Mu An said.
"Yes, yes, Wanqing is really amazing. Sijie, when Wanqing comes back, you should propose to her. Let's marry her as soon as possible, we can't let other families snatch her away!" Wen Lan also quickly said.
