The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 15 Drinking Water
Little Ayu wasn't fully awake yet, still groggy and unaware of what was happening. Before she could even fully open her eyes, she whispered, "Mother?"

“Mother is here.” Liu, who was standing by, quickly put down what she was holding, turned around and patted little Ayu’s back, asking softly, “Did I disturb you? Sleep a little longer, Mother will stay with you.”

Little Ayu covered her mouth with her small hand, secretly yawned, and shook her head: "I'm not sleepy anymore."

She sat up and saw the family taking inventory of their belongings.

"Will we live here from now on?" Little Ayu asked as she saw Wang Chuanman putting several bowls into a corner.

"Stay for a few days," Liu said.

Wang Wulang leaned closer and said with a grin, "Little sister is all better now, she can speak fluently again!"

Xiao Ayu was a little shy. She really wanted to say that she was actually always very articulate. It was just that her head had been spinning earlier, so she couldn't say much.

"Your IQ is almost back to that of a four-year-old." Tuanzi sensed Xiao Ayu's thoughts and breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness the child was lucky, otherwise a fever could have turned her into a complete idiot.

After daybreak, everyone realized how severe the snow avalanche was the night before; the entire village was almost buried, and as far as the eye could see, everything was covered in white snow.

The thick layer of snow that had accumulated around the mountains surrounding the village for more than a month completely filled the village when it came down.

The deepest part of the burial site is probably more than ten zhang thick!
Everyone's houses were flooded, with only a few surviving, but no one dared to live there anymore.

Fortunately, the five or six elderly people who had stayed in the village were still alive. Only one of them was hit in the thigh by a falling roof beam. Fortunately, he was already paralyzed and did not react too strongly to the fact that he was paralyzed even more.

Every family did their best to salvage what they could. Now, most people are living in caves, and Village Chief Hu has arranged for the wives of each family to take turns cooking.

To save firewood, all the grain was gathered together, and the Wang family even brought over several hundred kilograms of snake meat and grain.

Everyone else was moved by the Wang family's generosity.
Aunt Hu also made a special trip to thank Old Mrs. Wang: "Your family is a kind-hearted family, still thinking of everyone at a time like this."

Grandma Wang snorted coldly and ignored her.

Why did you go early?
Hasn't their family always been like this?
Little Ayu tilted her head, looking at Aunt Hu, thinking that Aunt Hu had also given her a small knee pad. So she stood up and found the knee pad that Aunt Hu had given her among a pile of clothes.

He picked it out, held it in his arms, bounced a couple of times, and then walked up to Aunt Hu: "Aunt Hu, here you go."

"It's Ayu, aren't you going to sleep?" Aunt Hu bent down slightly, her eyes full of smiles as she looked at little Ayu.

"No more sleeping, I've had enough sleep." Little Ayu was fully awake, and gently pointed to the little knee pads that had been taken from her. "Thank you, Auntie, Ayu isn't cold anymore."

"Oh, we're all from the same village, no need to thank me." It's been a long time since I've heard anyone say thank you, it feels quite novel.

Actually, Aunt Hu is not a person who likes children, especially little girls, whom she dislikes from the bottom of her heart.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have said that in the first place.

What's the point of raising a girl? Not only does she waste food, but she'll also be bullied by her husband's family every day after she marries. It's infuriating!
But looking at the little girl in front of me, who was so thin and looked no more than two years old, her eyes were more beautiful than a deer's. When she looked at me, I couldn't help but want to smile at her.

No wonder Zhang Luzi protected her so much; she really is a lovely and lovable girl.

"What are you looking at? Don't you have a granddaughter yourself? This is my granddaughter!" Old Mrs. Wang stepped forward and pushed Aunt Hu away, looking very unwelcoming. "Get out of here! Can't you see I'm busy? What are you trying to do, getting close to my Ayu? Don't you have anything better to do? Go as far away as you can!"

Aunt Hu's smile froze, turning into a sharp eye roll. She snorted and turned to leave.

When she reached her designated plot of land, her second son came over and asked her what was wrong. She immediately gave him a sharp rap on the head: "If you're so bored, go out and dig snow with the village chief. You gave birth to a daughter who looks like a deformed gourd and a cracked date. Just seeing you makes me angry!"

After being inexplicably scolded, the two old men scratched their heads, completely dumbfounded.

Turning his head, he saw his wife and daughter looking at him with pitiful eyes.

Hu Lao Er: "..." What did he do to deserve this?

While the adults were busy, Xiao Ayu pulled her fifth, sixth, and seventh brothers together to return all the outer robes, knee pads, and scarves that everyone had given her.

Xiao Ayu has an exceptionally good memory. She can always find the right person even if she has only met them once. So when she accurately returned the clothes to the right person, everyone was both surprised and touched.

"Ayu, keep it. You can lay it on the floor to sleep at night, and it won't be so cold." Some people didn't take it, but when they saw the little bump on Ayu's head, they couldn't help but touch it.

"Ayu, you're not cold, you're warm." Little Ayu took the initiative to place her little hand in the other person's hand, letting the other person feel her warm little hand.

She is less afraid of the cold than people imagine; she can even run barefoot in the snow.

She's used to it!
"Hu Zhengsheng, Hu Zhengyang, Hu Zhengyi... Where did they go? Grab your things and come with me!" A shout came from outside.

Those whose names were called all responded and came out of the cave.

Xiao Ayu hadn't finished returning her clothes when Liu called her back.

There was an accident outside, so Wang Chuanman and Wang Chuanyuan went outside to help, while the rest of the Wang family stayed where they were and didn't go out.

"When you returned the clothes, your energy increased a little, but your All-Purpose Water didn't increase; you could only barely scoop out a spoonful," Tuanzi suddenly said.

Little Ayu already knew how to communicate with the spirit in her mind, and she happily replied, "Give it to Mother."

No, it's too precious. You need to save it for survival.

"For Mother."

【…】

Unable to completely refuse its cub's request, it could only reluctantly scoop out a spoonful of the "miracle water".

There was no chamber pot available to fill her water this time.

Little Ayu held the cup in her hands and carefully approached Liu Shi, slowly raising her two little hands: "Mother, have some water."

Liu didn't know where Xiao Ayu's water came from, wondering if it was snow that Wang Wulang and the others had caught from outside and given to her to play with.

"Mother isn't thirsty." Madam Liu was about to take out her handkerchief to dry the water from Xiao Ayu's hands.

"Mother, drink this." Little Ayu resolutely put her hand to Liu's lips.

In order to coax Xiao Ayu, Liu had no choice but to pretend to take a sip and suck the Wanling Water from Xiao Ayu's palm into her mouth.

The next moment, the water seemed to come alive as it slid into her throat, and a gentle warmth surged up, making her feel as if she had drunk warm water, which was extremely comforting.

Is this water special?
Before Liu could figure out what was going on, Wang Chuanman and the others returned, each with an indignant expression, indicating they had encountered some troubles.

"What bad luck! The snow avalanche has driven the people from the neighboring Shanyang Village to our village!"

"They want to steal things, and the village chief is negotiating with them."

"They can be bullied right on their own doorstep. Shanyang Village is just too arrogant!"

Seeing Wang Chuanman's worried expression, Xiao Ayu wanted to retrieve some more "miracle water" from her spatial storage.

Mother drank it, and Father wanted to drink it too.

Stop trying to get more! The stock was already low, and you're accumulating it too slowly; now there's not a drop left!
