One is reborn, full of energy and vitality.

One of them fainted and then took a nap, but now he can't fall asleep.

The two of them simply sat down and waited.

The conclusion was that if one drop of water falls every hour, that's twenty-four drops a day.

Du Mingxian looked at the tiny bit of water left in the bowl and said, "Now that's all that's left, it's worth a lot of money."

"If it really is spiritual water, that would be good too; something is better than nothing."

"Correct."

Neither of them slept all night. They wandered around, touched things, and ate things. In short, they explored the entire space. When Ling Silang saw the animals in the space, he was initially startled, but later he became particularly enamored with Du Mingxian.

"My wife, you are really amazing."

"We've divorced."

“Even if we divorce, she’s still my wife. Besides, the divorce papers haven’t been sent to the government office yet, so they haven’t taken effect.”

"You reminded me, I'll go to the government office to get the stamp and register it tomorrow."

"My wife, I was wrong."

"Don't talk to me. You didn't give me a chance to speak when we got divorced."

As dawn broke, the rain was still heavy outside. Some villagers who had not yet harvested their crops put on raincoats and went to the fields to check. They saw that the nearly ripe grain was covered with a thick layer of rainwater.

Some people even considered going into the field to retrieve something, but the rain was heavy and the ground was low-lying, so a lot of water had accumulated. If they stood in there and managed to retrieve something, they might lose their lives.

Someone stood on the ground crying, but was eventually pulled down by their children.

The same situation wasn't unique to Dahe Village; some nearby villages listened to the Ling family and accepted the goods, but half of them were not.

Every village has a different situation, and now they are so regretful they wish they could die.

Looking at the situation, Du Mingxian noticed that the river had risen considerably. If the rain continued, everyone's yards would probably be flooded.

Ling Silang noticed her frowning. "Is the situation outside not good?"

"The rain is very heavy, but it should stop in about half an hour. I hope there won't be any casualties."

Half an hour later.

The rain gradually stopped. Some houses had low-lying yards that had already been flooded. In other houses, large and small basins and bowls—any container that could be used—were all being used to catch the water falling from the roof.

Seeing that the rain had stopped, everyone felt a sense of relief, as if they had survived a disaster. Thankfully, they were all alive.

Those who hadn't harvested their grain tried to retrieve it from the fields, but by the time they arrived... there was nothing left. The water level was high, and the grain that had been floating on top had long since drifted down to lower ground.

The atmosphere at the Ling family home was somber.

Ling's mother was particularly worried, "The rain has stopped, but if Mingxian and the others are taking shelter in the mountains, it's probably not easy for them to come down now."

"It's not easy to get down the mountain, so I'll take Dalang and the others to go find them."

Ling's mother looked at Ling's father with concern, "Why don't we wait a little longer? We've already waited all night, a little more time won't make a difference."

Ling's father shook his head, "Si Lang's health is not good to begin with. If we don't go to see him, I will never be able to put my mind at ease."

"Then let's wait another hour before going. In an hour, the water level on the ground will be lower, and I'll feel more at ease if you go out then."

"it is good."

Du Mingxian and Ling Silang also discussed things in the space.

"Your sudden improvement seems like a completely different person. Won't it scare them if you suddenly come home?"

“Definitely.” Ling Silang said with certainty, “So I can’t go home for the time being, I need to find an excuse.”

“The rain has stopped. I think your parents can’t wait any longer and will definitely bring people up the mountain to look for you.” Du Mingxian hesitated for a moment before saying, “You stay in the space. I’ll go back and get you some books, and also tell the family that you’ve been taken away by a master for treatment and can’t come back for the time being.”

"No, you can't go back. If you go back, many things won't make sense."

"What should I do?"

Ling Silang hesitated again and again before saying, "My fourth uncle's family has a grandson who has had intellectual disabilities since birth. Let him go and deliver the message."

Du Mingxian was stunned. "Send an idiot to deliver the message?"

“That’s more believable. No matter who we talk to, we can’t explain why they didn’t say it yesterday, and why they only said it today when it’s raining. The timing doesn’t match up.”

"Prepare some food for him, and tell him that you are Mingxian. Tell him to tell his parents to take Silang to get treatment. Make sure he tells them."

“He would mutter to himself, and when his fourth uncle’s family heard it, they would tell his parents.”

Du Mingxian felt it was unreliable, but it seemed there was no better way at the moment. "Okay, then how can we see that idiot?"

Is the river level high now?

Du Mingxian glanced outside. "It's a bit low, but there's still plenty of water."

"We'll see if we can run into him. He likes to play by the river. Don't let his simple-mindedness fool you; he can swim and has saved many children in the village."

"Then you stay in the space, I'll go give it a try."

Ling Silang pulled her arm. "Want to come along?"

“No, you’ll be more likely to be exposed if you go out. If I run into the villagers, I’ll go back and say that you were taken away by a master.”

Ling Silang didn't know what else to say, "Alright then."

Du Mingxian left the space and went to the riverbank. She deliberately walked towards the big rock, then observed her surroundings and waited for someone.

The two were lucky; Du Mingxian had only been outside for a quarter of an hour when she saw a chubby boy walking by.

She flashed into the space, startling Ling Silang, who was still somewhat unaccustomed to it. She appeared suddenly and disappeared just as suddenly.

"So fast?"

"I forgot to ask, is he chubby?"

"Yes, the villagers are willing to give him food because they are afraid that if their own children fall into the water, they will not be able to rely on others."

"Understood." Du Mingxian left the space and walked directly towards the fat man.

The chubby boy looked to be about twelve years old. When she approached, he just made a puzzled "hmm" sound and continued walking forward.

Du Mingxian stuffed a handful of candy and a large meat bun into the chubby boy's hand. "Could you please pass on a message for me? I am Mingxian. Please tell my parents that I have taken Silang to get medical treatment."

The chubby boy called out, "Mingxian, Mingxian."

"You must remember to tell my parents that I took Silang to get treatment." After saying that, Du Mingxian hurriedly ran away.

The chubby boy hadn't reacted yet, but when he saw the big steamed bun in his hand, he stuffed it into his mouth and ate it in a few bites before stuffing several pieces of candy into his mouth.

Du Mingxian was getting anxious watching from inside the room. "He did eat the food, but ever since I left, he's been standing there without moving an inch."

"Don't worry, he'll start talking about it after he's eaten."

"You seem to know a lot about this."

“He likes to eat it, that’s his habit. My mother and second sister-in-law mentioned it before, and I remembered it.”

Du Mingxian kept watching as the chubby boy finished the candy in his mouth and started stuffing more into it. Only after he finished what he was eating did he smack his lips, savoring the taste.

After savoring the moment, he turned and left.

Seeing how worried she was, Ling Silang stepped forward to comfort her, "Don't worry, he will definitely pass on the message."
