While the two of them were discussing, Jiang Chuan remembered a lot of information from his previous Jiang Chuan memories. It seemed that he had also thought of taking his family out alone before, but he did not do so for various reasons.

Since it would take at least a few days to build the wooden house, Jiang Chuan found the tent in the car and placed it on the ground.

Previously, when the family of three was preparing to camp, they chose a larger tent for the sake of comfort. Therefore, even if there was an additional tent, it would not be too crowded.

“Xiao Xia, I’ll go with your mother to cut down the trees. Can you set up the tent?” Jiang Chuan said to Jiang Xia, who was still chatting with Jiang Gu and Jiang Xia replied with an OK gesture.

After Jiang Chuan handed the task of setting up the tent to Jiang Xia, he took Zhou Lan and the tools to cut down trees elsewhere.

Jiang Gu followed behind Jiang Xia and walked to Jiang Chuan’s pile of things and her eyes widened curiously, “Jiang Xia, what is this?”

Jiang Xia explained as she unwrapped the package. “This is called a tent. It’s where we’ll be staying for the next few days.”

“Tent?”

Jiang Gu imitated Jiang Xia’s actions and helped Jiang Xia take out the things in the big bag one by one. She felt the touch in her hand that she had never felt before and exclaimed, “Jiang Xia, why is this cloth so smooth?”

Hearing Jiang Gu’s words, Jiang Xia’s heart ached again. At the same time, she was also doubting whether they were doing the right thing.

It would probably take another 30 to 40 years for such a thing to appear. If Jiang Gu saw it so early, it might affect her future.

Jiang Xia thought for a moment and explained patiently, “Xiao Gu, these things were exchanged for by our parents when we went up the mountain. We can’t let others know.”

Although the truth was different from what Jiang Xia said, it was basically the same. Jiang Chuan’s family had indeed sacrificed their lives to come to this world.

Seeing the confusion in Jiang Gu’s eyes, Jiang Xia continued, “Although we didn’t encounter any wild beasts when we went up the mountain, we fainted from hunger without food. Just when I thought that our parents and I were about to starve to death, a lot of magical things suddenly appeared in my mind, just like my father’s ability to take out something.”

As Jiang Xia narrated the story that he had made up, Jiang Gu’s expression changed from worry to fear, then to surprise, and finally to worship.

“Daddy can take something out of thin air?” Jiang Gu blinked her big eyes and asked.

“Yes, he can!” Jiang Xia nodded and added, “Not only Daddy, but I can also take out some! I can still keep some!”

After saying that, Jiang Xia showed Jiang Gu the ability to make an item disappear and reappear.

“You are so awesome!” Jiang Gu’s attention was gradually diverted by Jiang Xia, and the admiration in her eyes seemed to be overflowing.

Jiang Xia’s lips curled up as she continued to brainwash Jiang Gu. “I’ll say it again. Xiao Gu, you have to keep this a secret!”

“If Xiao Gu spreads our abilities, everyone will be on our tail. They will study why Father and I have such abilities. If they can’t find the reason, they might cut our bodies open to study the difference between us and others.”

Jiang Gu’s eyes widened in horror, “Really?”

“Of course! Xiao Gu, think about it! Everyone wants this ability of ours, but they can’t get it. What should we do? They can only push us into the research institute.”

Jiang Xia deliberately said these words to scare Jiang Gu. Although if their abilities were really known by the outside world, they might be directly sent to the capital and protected, if people with ulterior motives knew about it, their future would probably be very miserable.

“I won’t tell anyone! Definitely not! Even if they beat me to death, I won’t tell anyone about my sister and father’s abilities.”

Jiang Gu promised Jiang Xia loudly and then made a zipping gesture with her mouth.

Jiang Xia chuckled and patted Jiang Gu’s head.

She knew that Jiang Gu was smart, but Jiang Gu was still a child after all. She had to think of a way to make Jiang Gu afraid so that she could completely keep the family’s secret. When Jiang Gu grew up and understood everything, she would not have to worry anymore..
