The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 17 Delivering Water
Seeing everyone's concerned looks, Xiao Ayu felt very embarrassed. It seemed she had done something wrong.

When there are other people around, you can't go directly into the space; if your consciousness leaves, your body will fall asleep.

If you fall asleep and no one can wake you, they'll worry about you.

Little Ayu understood, and she felt uneasy, her little hands twisting together: "Did I do something wrong?"

Dumpling: 【...It's not entirely wrong.】

The two communicated quickly using their minds. Before Xiao Ayu could figure it out, Liu had already found the goat milk that she had prepared beforehand and was feeding Xiao Ayu spoonful by spoonful.

The ewe had been crushed to death by the snow, and the milk she had stored was barely enough for one bowl; once that was gone, there would be none left.

At first, Xiao Ayu didn't dare to eat much of anything, and would give it to others after only a few bites, but the Wang family wouldn't allow her to do that.

After some coaxing, she stopped being so timid and was able to finish what was given to her.

Aunt Hu brought over a bowl of dried vegetable balls, a rare treat in winter.

Liu was a little embarrassed: "Wasn't this what you left for your third son?"

Each family contributed supplies, but not everything; they all kept some for themselves.

"He's not coming back, so leaving it for him is pointless. It's fine for the adults to eat less, but don't let the children go hungry." Aunt Hu waved her hand, left the things, and went away.

There's a lot going on right now.

Seeing that Xiao Ayu was alright and looked normal, the others each left some food suitable for children, and without much conversation, they also left.

After seeing the villagers off, Liu sat down to tidy up the surroundings. She moved all the bedding and mattresses from her house into the cave and arranged them properly so that it wouldn't be uncomfortable to sleep in.

According to the village chief, everyone can only go back to live after the snow melts. The space allocated to each family is not big, so the whole family can barely squeeze together.

It has a strong sense of fleeing from disaster.

"Ayu, go play with your brothers, but stay in the cave and don't go out," Liu said to little Ayu as usual.

Children raised in the village are basically no longer looked after by adults once they are weaned; only older children are allowed to care for them.

Children grow quickly, and if you feed them and take them to the doctor when they get sick, they grow up without much care in the world.

Seeing that Xiao Ayu was still holding a small sweet potato that she was reluctant to eat, Liu casually pulled out a piece of tattered cloth from the old cotton wadding, sewed it around a couple of times, and it became a small pouch.

"Here, put it in the little pocket." Liu hung the little pocket on Xiao Ayu's chest.

Little Ayu was extremely curious, and she kept looking down at the camera.

Wow, it can hold things!
Seeing her little eyes darting around excitedly, Liu asked her, "Do you like it?"

"I love it!" Little Ayu hugged the little bag tightly and nodded emphatically. "I love it so much!"

She had never had anything like this before; her mother was so kind.

Seeing that she liked it, Liu thought that when spring came, she would spend a few coins to buy some new scraps of cloth, piece them together, and make a nice little pouch that Ayu would definitely like even more.

Let's just make do for now.

Little Ayu got a little pouch, put the sweet potato inside, and went to find her brothers with her little belly sticking out.

The Wang family's boys were being scolded by their grandmother in the open space next door because their sister had fainted right under their noses; it must have been these brothers who had done their best.

"You just eat rice all day long, growing tall but not smart. The little bit of food your sister eats is enough even if you squeeze it out of her mouth, yet you still manage to make her faint from hunger. You guys are really something!"

"You immature boys are going to eat your father out of house and home! Are you trying to bankrupt your sister? You should have a conscience! Have you lost your conscience?"

Grandma Wang was really furious. Not to mention how much she loved her granddaughter, she had to treat her granddaughter well for all the contributions she had made. But these little brats were so unruly!

The seven older brothers were all more aggrieved than the last. They practically doted on their little sister, how could they bear to mistreat her? But who dared to contradict their grandmother? They could only keep quiet.

"Grandma—" Little Ayu came skipping over, her two little bags bouncing around on her head.

"Oh dear, Grandma's little darling, are you full? Are you still hungry?" Grandma Wang scooped up little Ayu, gently lifted her up, and frowned. "Why are you still so light? Did you not eat properly?"

"I've eaten! I'm so full!" Little Ayu stretched her neck and actually managed to squeeze out a small burp. She immediately smiled and her eyes narrowed. "Look, I'm full!"

"Alright, alright, it's good that you're full. Don't faint from hunger again, Grandma was terrified."

Little Ayu nodded repeatedly, then pulled up her little pocket, took out a roasted sweet potato, and handed it to Grandma Wang's mouth: "Ayu is full, this is for Grandma."

Grandma Wang turned her head to the side and said with a smile, "Grandma isn't hungry, you can save it for next time. Our little Ayu is so good, she even knows to save some for Grandma."

Just then, Wang Chuanman returned from outside, holding a dry biscuit in his hand. He wanted to give it to Old Mrs. Wang: "Mom, this was given to our family by the village chief. Don't you like to eat this? Dad specially saved it for you."

Old Mrs. Wang scoffed, "Are you treating me like a glutton? How much can an old woman like me eat? Take it away, it's bad luck to even see it!"

Wang Chuanman: ? ? ?

The grandchildren shrank their necks: Grandma is so scary! She has different standards for evaluating Ayu than for others!
Little Ayu was unaware of all this; she was simply trying her best to repeat the action of taking things out of her small pocket with her hands.

Wang Chuanman scratched his head: "Ayu, do you want Dad to put it in there for you?"

Little Ayu shook her head, "No, no."

Wang Wulang suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Fourth Uncle, Sister Ayu wants you to see her little bib."

Only then did everyone notice that little Ayu had an extra little bib—an ordinary bib.

But little Ayu cherishes it very much.

Before Wang Chuanman could react, Old Mrs. Wang cleared her throat and said first, "Ayu's bib is nice."

Little Ayu was indeed happy, patting her pocket with her little hand: "My mother gave it to me."

"This little bib is so cute."

“Ayu looks even better wearing it.”

“No other dolls have this, and neither do we. This is the only one of its kind!” The older brothers chatted amongst themselves, and little Ayu was even more satisfied, her lips curving into a smile that she couldn’t shake off.

Seeing that Xiao Ayu was happy, Grandma Wang stopped scolding her grandsons and let them take their little sister to play.

The eldest, second, third, and fourth sons were all over ten years old and didn't plan to play, so they let their three younger brothers take care of little Ayu.

Little Ayu had a small bib and secretly wanted to show it off. Wulang noticed this and immediately took Little Ayu for a walk around the area.

A group of children saw Xiao Ayu's bib, and at the prompting of Wulang, Liulang, and Qilang, they all praised her bib.

Some adults saw this and even slipped something into her little pocket.

Some contained a handful of peanuts, some a small purse, and some a beautiful stone.

She filled her little pocket to the brim.

"They are all good people!" Little Ayu concluded in her heart.

Because they all really like their own pockets.

"You're right." Tuanzi didn't want to argue.

childish.

However, the next moment, Tuanzi glanced around and found that the almost dried-up Wanling Water had somehow refilled half a bowl!

The space is bound to Xiao Ayu, and it is closely related to Xiao Ayu's feelings and experiences.

Little Ayu is small, and her space is also in its infancy. As she grows up, her space will become larger and she will have more things.

At the same time, if Xiao Ayu is particularly happy, the space will also grow a little larger.

But at this stage, the most influential factor is the goodwill that Xiao Ayu can receive.

The more kindness people show her, the more magical water she will receive. If people continue to like her, the magical water will flow endlessly.

The more people who like her, the better the quality of the Wanling Water will be, and the more nutritious the soil in the space will become.

But the concept was too complicated for little Ayu to understand, so it was decided to wait until she was older before explaining it to her.

Unexpectedly, she had killed a whole snake and indirectly saved everyone from the snow disaster, yet she still hadn't received much of the All-Purpose Water.

As a result, she went for a walk with just a little apron on and gained so much energy.

"...Would you like to go for another stroll?"

Xiao Ayu refused.

She already had half a bowl of the "miracle water," which was more than she had before; it was enough for her to drink a sip and then spit it out.

Little Ayu also noticed that there was water in the space, so she immediately stopped playing with her toy and carefully asked Feng for a spoon and a bowl.

Wang Wulang and the others only saw Xiao Ayu go to her aunt to ask for a bowl and a spoon, and when they turned around, they saw that the bowl was filled with clear water.

The greedy little lamb kept nudging its nose forward, trying to bury its head in the bowl.

Little Ayu pushed the lamb's head away, scooped up a spoonful of water, and said to her brothers, "Each of you drink a spoonful."

Good stuff should be shared.

The older brothers didn't want to drink it at first. They thought it was water their aunt was going to use to wash dishes, and that it was probably melted snow.

But little Ayu looked on longingly, so they had no choice but to drink it.

The first to drink was Wang Wulang, who was closest to him. After taking a sip, his eyes widened.

"Is it sugar water?" He couldn't help but lick his lips. Yes, it was sweet!
"Sweet soup? I want to drink it, I want to drink it!" Wang Liulang leaned forward, waiting for Xiao Ayu to feed him a spoonful.

Wang Liulang drank it and was dumbfounded—it really was sugar water!
After each of the seven older brothers took a sip, they all stared at the half-eaten bowl in Xiao Ayu's hand.

"Just one more sip?" Wang Liulang licked his lips.

Little Ayu, holding the bowl, shook her head: "It's not enough, we need to give it to Grandma and the others."

Then, they watched as Xiao Ayu took a bowl and fed each of the other family members a spoonful.

Wang Chuangui, who was lying in bed, took two sips of the drink.

After the Wang family finished drinking, they all wondered, "Who is this generous person who wants to coax the baby? They actually put sugar water in it!"

With only a little bit left, Xiao Ayu took the bowl to the man in black who had been picked up, and following Tuanzi's instructions, pried open his mouth and poured water into it.

Hu Xiaotong had gone out to prepare the medicine, but when he came back, he saw his first patient being fed water by a little baby.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't feed him like that!" Hu Xiaotong rushed over, but it was too late. Xiao Ayu had already dripped the last drop of water into the man's mouth.

Before he could even check the remaining bowls, a little lamb suddenly appeared out of nowhere, its snout twitching. Taking advantage of the little man's inattention, it snatched the bowl and trotted away.

Hu Xiaotong was dumbfounded.

That afternoon, everyone in the Wang family complained of stomach aches and had to go to the outhouse repeatedly.

As soon as Hu Xiaotong heard the news, she turned her head and saw the patient's eyes wide open, his face flushed red, and even turning purple.

But his expression conveyed a sense of utter despair.

Before he could think about it, he smelled a foul odor.

The person woke up and also had diarrhea.

One pocket.
