"Having died once, my personality will naturally change. I want to live well, and on the basis of living, I also want to be happy."

"Understood. If we do it openly, your happiness will be affected."

"You're so smart. If you were a puppy, I would definitely pat your head."

"No, I am a dragon, the dragon of tornadoes, and your dog is over there."

Seeing his angry appearance in human form, Xiao Nan couldn't help but laugh. In this period of time, she laughed more than she had in her entire previous life.

It was precisely because of the Zhang family building their house that the villagers on Xiaonan's side all turned their attention to the Zhang family.

Without the buzzing of flies, she and her grandmother lived a peaceful life.

The two of them stayed home every day, each doing their own chores.

Under Xiao Nan's care, the courtyard gradually became more beautiful, and she would go to town every few days to buy some flower pots.

In just ten days, there were already forty or fifty pots in the house, all of which Xiao Nan had planted with various plants.

There are flowers, grass, and vegetables. The first batch of vegetables in ten flowerpots have sprouted and are growing well. The scallions, ginger, garlic, and chives in the backyard have grown to a full 1/2 inch long. The cabbages and radishes on the wasteland are lush and green, and very robust.

Xiao Nan would hoe the weeds for them whenever he had free time, living a particularly carefree and leisurely life.

The two of them looked radiant and their skin had become much fairer. Xiao Nan looked radiant, and the old woman's back had straightened up.

When the villagers saw that the Zhang family had built a brick and tile house, they all went over to curry favor with them.

The Zhang family, having gained recognition, became even more smug.

He boasted that once the house was built, he would invite the whole village to drink, but he wouldn't invite Wang Pozi's family.

After Longlong finished recounting these things, Xiao Nan smiled dismissively.

"They only built three brick houses; the other houses are still made of adobe. What's there to brag about?"

"That's right, as long as the master gives the order, I'll burn them to ashes just the same."

"Let them keep showing off."

On the very day the Zhang family's house was completed, dark clouds drifted over, a clap of thunder sounded in the sky, and a heavy rain was about to fall.

After the builders hurriedly put up the main beam, they quickly looked for a place to take shelter from the rain. Fortunately, Zhang Dashan had the workers build an adobe house first. At this time, his family all took shelter in the house, drinking tea and chatting.

Meanwhile, Xiao Nan and his grandmother were busy collecting clothes, tidying up flowerpots, and covering the vegetable garden.

The clouds were coming from the other side of the mountain. Xiao Nan could see the lightning from afar; it was crisscrossing and dense, so it must have been quite heavy.

I'm really worried about the vegetables in the backyard and the wasteland, and I can't help but sigh at the hardships that farmers face.

If they get soaked, all their hard work will be wasted, and the whole family could go hungry.

She and her grandmother sat at the doorway, looking at the sky, silently praying that it wouldn't rain too heavily.

But fate had other plans. Suddenly, a thunderclap exploded overhead, nearly shattering their eardrums.

Then a strong wind arose, and clouds from the southwest rushed rapidly toward Ping'an Village, turning the sky as dark as dusk.

The old woman took a deep breath and said uncertainly, "With this gust of wind, it shouldn't rain for too long."

Xiao Nan said hopefully.

"Just ten more days or so, and autumn will arrive. It will be cool in the mornings and evenings, hot at noon, and there will be much less rain."

Xiao Nan ran back into the house, brought back a paper package, moved a low table, and poured a pot of cold boiled water. She opened the package, and the old woman smiled when she saw the melon seeds.

She picked up a small amount and tapped it as she said, "I used to love this when I was young, but I haven't tapped it since your grandfather passed away."

Xiao Nan was cracking sunflower seeds and crossing her legs, looking nothing like a girl.

When the two saw the sudden downpour, they were both so shocked that they stood up, gripping the door frame, their mouths agape in disbelief.

"This, this isn't rain, this is a river!"

Xiao Nan's mood instantly soured at the thought of the dishes to be cooked. Even with a trellis and heavy loads, this method of cooking was definitely not going to work.

If this side of the vegetable is ruined, she'll have to wait until next year.

Xiao Nan was thinking to himself that he absolutely couldn't wait until next year; he could grow vegetables in winter, even in greenhouses.

She has tarpaulins and all sorts of supplies, so she's not afraid!

Looking at the river flowing down from the sky, she swallowed hard. Soon, there was water in the yard, so the outside must be flooded.

Those families in the village whose houses were repaired are not in such dire straits this time, but their situation is not very optimistic either.

Their house and the ground in the yard were only two bricks apart in height. No one raised the ground, and with such heavy rain, water had already flooded into the house.

The whole family huddled together on the kang (a heated brick bed), sighing and groaning.

On Xiao Nan's side, the house and the courtyard are half a meter apart in height, and the courtyard and the outside are less than half a meter apart in height.

Given this situation, even if the height is increased, it's only a matter of time before water rushes in.

Xiao Nan rushed into the rain, returned to his house, hugged Juanjuan and Fengfeng in his arms, and then hurried back to the main room, fearing that they would be flooded.

Just then, Longlong's voice reached her ears.

"Master, don't worry. Once there's water, I'll put it into my space. I don't have any other skills, but I'm good at collecting things."

Xiao Nan was relieved and focused on playing with the dog in his arms.

The old woman glanced at them and said, "These two little guys are eating well and growing really fast."

"Grow up quickly so you can guard the house and property."

Even when they grow up, I can't protect them anymore; I can only give them a reminder.

“Before the dogs, they couldn’t handle me. With them, I’m like a tiger with wings. Grandma doesn’t have to worry about anything.”

"Oh, I still have to advise you, never flaunt your wealth, or you'll attract their attention."

"Don't worry, I know the owner of the pharmacy in town. He said he would protect me. Besides, I saved a noble lady before, so I should be able to use that knowledge."

The old woman's face lit up with surprise when she heard this.

"Oh, the pharmacy owner, someone like that said he wanted to take care of you?"

"Yes, so don't worry,"

"If there is such a person, Grandma will be at ease. Why didn't you say so sooner?"

"You didn't ask."

Seeing that the water was rising quickly, the old woman hurriedly moved the table onto the kang (a heated brick bed).

After the two got onto the kang (a heated brick bed), Xiao Nan realized that the window paper was soaked through, and if another gust of wind blew in, the rain might very well blow in.

She used her mind to search the space and found something transparent and gelatinous—film.

Thicker and more transparent than tarpaulin, and more durable than tarpaulin, it is rainproof, windproof, and suitable as window paper.

I've decided to replace the window paper once the rain stops.

The old woman stared curiously at the doorway. Yu kept lingering at the door but wouldn't come in. What was going on?

Xiao Nan calculated that the water in the yard was half a meter deep, so the water outside must be at least a meter deep, not to mention that the rain hadn't stopped.

Just then, the back gate seemed to be hit hard by a heavy object, and Xiao Nan quickly sent Longlong to check.

The old woman heard it too, and she grabbed Xiao Nan's arm in fear.

"Girl, with this heavy rain, won't bad guys come?"

"No, no one would break into a house to rob someone at this critical moment. Don't panic."

She arrived at the door, just as Longlong returned.

It whispered, "Master, there's a person clinging tightly to a thick log. That sound is the log hitting the door."

"Someone? Who is it?"

"A man who can still cling to a piece of wood even after fainting has an incredibly strong will to survive."

Xiao Nan raised an eyebrow and then asked, "Is he handsome?"

"He was face down, so we couldn't see him. If we hadn't gone to save him, he would definitely have died."

Xiao Nan turned to look at Granny Wang and said, "Grandma, I'll go check on her. Don't be afraid, Juanjuan and Fengfeng are with you, everything will be alright."

She rolled up her trousers, grabbed a large wooden basin from the ground, turned it upside down on her head, and carried it out.

The old woman quickly got off the kang (a heated brick bed) and stood at the doorway, extremely nervous.

When Xiao Nan opened the backyard door, he saw this scene: a man, face down, tightly hugging a piece of wood.
