Drinking Water

Little Ah Yu was still half-asleep and was in a daze, not knowing what had happened. However, before she could completely open her eyes, she called out softly, “Mother?”

“Mother is here.” Liu Shi, who was guarding at the side, hurriedly put down the things in her hand and turned to pat Little Ah Yu’s back. She asked gently, “Did I disturb you? Sleep a little longer. Mother will accompany you.”

Little Ah Yu covered her mouth with her hand and yawned secretly. She shook her head. “I’m not sleepy anymore.”

She sat up and saw a family taking inventory.

“Are we going to live here from now on?” Little Ah Yu saw Wang Chuanman putting a few bowls into the corner.

“We’ll be staying for a few days first,” Madam Liu said.

Fifth Brother leaned his head over and said with a smile, “Little Sister, you’re awake! You can speak clearly now!”

Little Ah Yu was a little shy. She wanted to say that she had actually been speaking very clearly all along. It was just that she had been dizzy previously and couldn’t say much.

[Your intelligence is almost recovered to the standard of a four years old.] Meatball sensed Little Ah Yu’s thoughts and heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this brat was lucky. Otherwise, her fever would have burned her into a real fool.

After dawn, everyone saw how serious the avalanche last night was. The entire village was almost buried. At a glance, it was all snow.

The thick layer of snow that had accumulated around the few mountains around the village for more than a month had directly been dumped on the entire village.

The deepest place was probably more than 100 feet thick!

Everyone’s houses were covered in snow. Only a few families survived, but they did not dare to live there anymore.

Fortunately, the five or six old people who had stayed in the village were still alive. Only one of them had been hit in the thigh by a fallen beam. Fortunately, he was already paralyzed and did not show much emotion about being informed that his paralyzed leg was crippled.

Everyone moved to save as much supplies as they could. Now that everyone was basically living in the cave, Village Chief Hu decided to let the women take turns cooking for everyone.

In order to save on firewood, all the food was gathered together. The Wang Family even directly transported hundreds of catties of snake meat and food over.

How could the others not be touched by the Wang Family’s generosity?

Third Aunt Hu even specially thanked Old Madam Wang. “Your family is a kind family. You’re still thinking about everyone at this time.”

Old Madam Wang snorted coldly and ignored her.

What were they doing earlier?

Wasn’t their family always like this?

Little Ah Yu tilted her head and looked at Third Aunt Hu. Remembering that Third Aunt Hu had also sent a small knee guard over, she stood up and found the knee guard given by Third Aunt Hu in the middle of the pile of clothes.

She picked it out and hugged it in her arms. Then, she skipped twice and walked to Third Aunt Hu. “Third Aunt, this is for you.”

“Oh, it’s Little Ah Yu. Aren’t you going to sleep?” Third Aunt Hu bent down slightly and looked at Little Ah Yu with a smile.

“I’m not sleeping anymore. I’m wide awake now.” Little Ah Yu was completely awake. Her small hand gently pointed at the small knee guard that she had brought over. “Thank you, Third Aunt. I’m not cold anymore.”

“Aiyo, we’re all from the same village. Why are you thanking me?” It had been a long time since someone had thanked her. The feeling was quite novel.

Actually, Third Aunt Hu was not someone who loved children, especially when it came to little girls.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have said those words back then.

What was the use of raising a girl? Not to mention being a waste of food, when she married into her in-laws’ family in the future, she would be bullied every day. Just thinking about it made her angry!

However, when she saw the little girl in front of her, even though she was still so thin and looked to be no more than two years old, her eyes were even more beautiful than a deer’s. When she looked over, she could not help but want to smile at her.

No wonder Donkey Zhang was so protective of her. She was indeed a cute little girl.

“What are you looking at? Don’t you have a granddaughter yourself? This is my granddaughter!” Old Madam Wang walked forward and pushed Third Aunt Hu out, looking very unwelcoming. “Hurry up and leave. Can’t you see that I’m busy? Why are you trying to get close to our Little Ah Yu? Have you nothing better to do? Go as far as you can!”

The smile on Third Aunt Hu’s face froze, and she rolled her eyes. She snorted and turned to leave.

When she walked to the place where her family was allocated, her second son came over and asked her what was wrong. She directly knocked on his head. “If you’re so free, go out with the village head to dig snow. Even your daughter looks like an ugly melon. I get angry whenever I see you!”

After being scolded for no reason, Old Second Hu touched his head and looked dumbfounded.

When he turned his head, his wife and daughter were looking at him with aggrieved eyes.

Old Second Hu : “…”

Who did he offend? What was going on?

While the adults were busy, Little Ah Yu pulled Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, and Seventh Brother along to return the outer robes, knee pads, and scarves that everyone had sent over.

Ah Yu’s memory was especially good. As long as she had seen someone once, she could always replace the other party accurately. Therefore, when she accurately sent the clothes back, everyone was surprised and felt that she was very considerate.

“Ah Yu, keep it. With this, it won’t be so cold if you sleep on the ground at night.” Some people refused to take their clothes back. When they saw the small hair buns on Little Ah Yu’s head, they couldn’t help but touch it.

“Ah Yu isn’t cold. It’s warm.” Ah Yu took the initiative to place her hand on the other party’s, letting him feel her warm hand.

She was even less afraid of the cold than everyone thought. She could even run barefoot in the snow.

She was already used to it!

“Hu Zhengsheng, Hu Zhengyang, Hu Zhengyi… Where did they go? Bring your things and follow me!” A shout came from outside.

Those whose names were called out hurriedly walked out of the cave.

Before Ah Yu could finish returning her clothes, Liu Shi called her back.

An accident had happened outside. Wang Chuanman and Wang Chuanyuan had gone out to help. The rest of the Wang Family stayed where they were and did not go out again.

[When you sent the clothes back just now, your energy increased a little. The Myriad Spirit Water did not increase by much, and you can only barely scoop out a spoonful.] Meatball suddenly said.

Little Ah Yu already knew how to communicate with the elf in her heart. She replied happily, “It’s for Mother.”

[No, it’s too precious. You have to keep it to save your life.]

“For Mother.”

[…]

...

It could not completely refuse her request, so it could only hold back and scoop out a spoonful of Myriad Spirit Water.

This time, there was no chamber pot for her to hold her water.

Little Ah Yu held the water in her hand and carefully approached Liu Shi. She slowly raised her two small hands. “Mother, have some water.”

Liu Shi did not know where Little Ah Yu’s water came from. She wondered if it was the snow that Fifth Brother and the others had brought from outside for her to play with.

“Mother isn’t thirsty.” Liu Shi took out a handkerchief and wanted to wipe the water off her hand.

“For Mother to drink.” Little Ah Yu firmly brought her hand to Liu Shi’s mouth.

In order to coax Ah Yu, Madam Liu could only pretend to take a sip and sucked the Myriad Spirit Water into her mouth.

In the next moment, the water slid into her throat as if it was alive. After that, a very gentle warmth surged up, she felt as if she had drunk warm water. It was extremely refreshing.

Could this water be very special?

Before Liu Shi could figure it out, Wang Chuanman and the others returned. However, everyone’s faces were filled with righteous indignation. They must have encountered something troublesome.

“How unlucky. The avalanche chased the people from Shanyang Village next door to our village!”

...

“They want to snatch our resources. The village chief is discussing the conditions with them now.”

“They even bullied us all the way to our own doorstep. Their Shanyang Village is too arrogant!”

When Little Ah Yu saw Wang Chuanman’s frown, she wanted to fish out some more Myriad Spirit Water from her spatial pocket.

Since Mother has drunk it, Father should drink it too.

[Don’t be stubborn. Your stock was small to begin with, and it accumulates too slowly. Now, there’s not even a drop left!]
