The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 30 Food
Hujia Village is located at the northernmost part of Dachang Kingdom, more than 30 li away from the nearest town and more than 60 li away from the nearest county seat.

Normally, it would take six hours to make the round trip. After Wang Chuanman and his brother set off, the villagers were on guard against the people from Shanyang Village causing trouble.

Since we're going to report this to the authorities, they might just resort to desperate measures.

The villagers were unaware that the two brothers had already been stopped on the road.

Grandma Wang finished cooking the soy milk. When Village Chief Hu heard the news, he rushed over and saw that the Wang family had filled a large vat with soy milk.

"Oh, what are you doing..." Elder Hu's eyes welled up with tears. "You can't even take care of yourselves, how can you still take things out?"

He had already discussed with several clan elders that they would drive the people of Shanyang Village away the next day and send a few young men to the town and county seat to exchange for some grain.

Old Wang's family is the poorest in the village; how can we let them continue doing this?

Grandma Wang waved her hand: "It's alright. Things can be replaced, but people can't be lost. We still have some left, enough to last us a couple more days."

At worst, the adults would tighten their belts and drink only one bowl of soy milk a day, making sure the children ate as much as they could.

More than twenty villagers were injured, and the soy milk they provided was a small contribution.

Moreover, these soybeans, like snake meat, were something that came out of nowhere to them, so they didn't feel so bad about giving them away.

Even Grandma Wang felt that these things were too unusual and completely beyond their original understanding.

Something unusual must be going on. If someone with ulterior motives finds out, they will inevitably trace it back to Ayu.

They can't save the child yet.

After thinking it over, Old Mrs. Wang gave her daughters-in-law a few pointers.

The daughters-in-law didn't think that far ahead; they just followed their mothers-in-law's decisions since they had no right to object.

To avoid getting scolded.

"Alright, I appreciate their kindness. In the future, the villagers will support each other and work together more closely. It's just that your family will have to make do for now. Once this matter is settled, I'll have the villagers plow your house first."

Old Wang's family fled famine. At first, they had no land and had to clear it all themselves. Later, after they settled down and their three grandsons became adults, they were allocated 60 mu of mountain land and 15 mu of farmland, which was enough for them to barely make a living.

Grandma Wang nodded: "That's great, I won't refuse."

Village Chief Hu said, "Don't try to explain where these things came from. I'll explain myself. The little one is still young; don't cause her any more trouble."

"I know." Old Mrs. Wang stopped smiling and nodded with a serious face.

In fact, Village Chief Hu was also worried because the giant python's arrival had been suspicious.

What's more, that was a giant python ten zhang long!
It weighed over 3,000 jin (1,500 kg), while the largest they had ever heard of before was only around 1,000 jin (500 catties).

And these soybeans, one plant is too big, and they've grown too many.

Village Chief Hu hadn't read many books, but he knew that this matter was very strange and should not be investigated too deeply.

He glanced deeply at little Ayu beside him and sighed, "This child is a lucky charm; we mustn't mistreat her, nor scare her away."

Grandma Wang patted little Ayu's head: "This is our Wang family's child, so of course we won't mistreat her."

Just then, Ma brought out a small bowl from the house. It contained soy milk with a little sugar, which had cooled down slightly before she gave it to Xiao Ayu.

"Come on, Ayu, it's time for your soy milk."

That was specially reserved for her; it wasn't diluted much. The ones for the villagers were diluted very lightly, just enough to moisten their palates.

Even if the patient's is slightly more concentrated, it still can't compare to what was given to Ayu.

Seeing that everyone else had some, Xiao Ayu didn't think about sharing with others. She obediently took it herself and drank it sip by sip.

After finishing, she patted her tummy as usual and smiled sweetly: "I'm done! It was so delicious!"

She wanted to lick the bowl like her seventh brother, but Madam Ma quickly took it away and tapped her forehead with her index finger: "Don't try to imitate your seventh brother's silly behavior."

Little Ayu: "Oh." But she clearly saw that her second aunt licked the bowl after finishing her soy milk. [They were hungry, they only licked the bowl because they didn't have enough to eat.] Tuanzi quickly reminded her when she saw her little one was about to go astray again.

Little Ayu didn't quite understand: "But I'm not hungry."

[Because they left all the food for you.] Also, the all-purpose water can, in a sense, fill your stomach.

Tuanzi thought this was a good opportunity and took the chance to tell Zaizi to work hard to upgrade the space. When the space level was higher, it could bring her more good things.

Now that the kid's intelligence has improved, he still can't control his mind, and strange and bizarre thoughts occasionally pop into his head.

For example, right now, the space is filled with snakes, each one bigger than the last, and these snakes are even wearing human clothes!

There were also hundreds of goats running around inside.

Because the little one currently thinks snakes and lambs are the cutest things, the space is full of those things, and the little one feels like she's suffocating.

It would be better to have only steamed buns and egg drop soup!

After the upgrade, the child no longer needs to control their imagination, and those illusions will no longer appear in the space.

Little Ayu asked, "What is leveling up? Will there be lots and lots of delicious food?"

【yes. 】

Little Ayu clenched her fist: "Okay, level up! -- But, elf, how do I level up?"

The little dumpling got excited. Wow, the little one volunteered to level up, and then it started digging into the leveling guide.

[…Um, improving people's livelihoods… resolving wars… eliminating plagues…]

What is this nonsense?! Is this something a four-year-old should be doing?!
Finally, after searching through a long list of guides, Tuanzi found a quest that offered enough experience to level up: [Grow vegetables, accumulate to a value of 500 taels!]

This is a freebie! It's so easy!

Little Ayu seemed to understand but not quite, and before she could ask how to make the dumpling, Wang Wulang came over and pulled her away.

“Sister Ayu, let’s go deliver soy milk to everyone.”

"Okay."

Little Ayu skipped and hopped after him, as for what about planting vegetables?
It's gone to the highest heavens.

【…】

The people of Shanyang Village were all on the dam, while the injured people from Hujia Village were all lying in their own homes after being treated by Doctor Hu.

Old Wang's family sent a large bowl of soy milk to each household. Since they didn't have that many bowls, each household brought their own bowl to fill it.

The people of Shanyang Village didn't know what it was at first and thought it was some kind of medicine being brewed. But when they saw a big bowl of milky white soy milk inside, their mouths watered.

In this weather, to see soy milk?!

"Old Wang's family, give us some too, our child is crying from hunger," an old woman called out.

Grandma Wang glanced at the other party and said, "Alright, one hundred coins a bowl, fair and square."

"Why don't you just rob it!" The old woman almost spat out blood.

At this moment, Xiao Ayu followed behind, her little face full of worry, and whispered to Wang Wulang, "They're good at snatching things, what will we do if we can't outmaneuver them?"

The people of Shanyang Village: "..." Please keep your voice down, we heard you!

Just as the soy milk was delivered, a gong hanging on a banyan tree at the village entrance was suddenly struck.

clang!clang!clang!
"The imperial court is distributing grain!!"

"The imperial court has distributed grain!"
