By mid-afternoon, the river had overflowed, and the water level on the road was already above ankle height.

For some low-lying families, the water had already entered their homes. At first, the whole family was busy trying to block it, but later they could only put their belongings as high as they could.

Some houses were not sturdy to begin with, and the thatched roofs were blown off by the wind. The brigade cadres braved the heavy rain and strong winds to go to their homes and persuade them to move.

The Xu family's house is on high ground, but water still got into the house. Luckily, they had the foresight to raise the ground level where necessary.

The wind finally subsided in the latter half of the night, but the rain continued, and the water level in the village rose higher and higher. They even saw dead piglets floating in from who-knows-where, not to mention all the filth.

Yang Chunqin, Xu Mingyang, and Jiang Juecheng have not returned home since daytime.

Xu Xinning was also called out several times.

When the wind died down in the middle of the night, someone waded through the water to the Xu family's house to call for Xu Xinning, because someone was having a difficult childbirth.

Upon hearing the noise, Xu Laosan immediately got out of bed.

Of the family members left, some are old and some are disabled, and he's the only one who can still manage something.

He was worried about Xu Xinning making house calls alone in the middle of the night, so he had to go with her.

Mu Jingheng woke up when it got dark.

When he woke up, he inexplicably found himself in a magical room. The room was very large; it would be more accurate to call it a warehouse. It contained a vast amount of supplies: rice, flour, oil, meat, various seasonings, steamed buns, and so on, all neatly stored. There were also some snacks he had never seen before, and even bicycles, sewing machines, watches, radios, and televisions...

Mu Jingheng thought he was dreaming. He pinched himself hard and felt a sharp pain before he realized it was real.

To verify that the products were genuine, he tasted many things and even opened and inspected the bags containing rice and flour. The rice and flour were pure white, and their unique aroma wafted out as soon as the bags were opened. There were also many kinds of oil, such as soybean oil, peanut oil, and rapeseed oil...

The strangest thing was that the cooked food was still steaming.

Mu Jingheng thought that he might have accidentally wandered into the gods' warehouse, otherwise how could he explain these things?

What surprised him most was that he could come and go freely, and the coming and going of those things could also be controlled by his consciousness.

Mu Jingheng had lived a lifetime before, and in his previous life he held a high position and had also worked in Elder Jiang's special department. He had seen some metaphysical things, and perhaps this was what those capable people called "space".

Mu Jingheng was very excited to have these things, especially since they were currently in a time of natural disasters, and his space might be of great use.

Overjoyed, Mu Jingheng unconsciously reached for the wooden plaque around his neck, but this time he found nothing.

Mu Jingheng was startled. Where was his "Nothing Happens" plaque?

He didn't think he had lost it, because the hanging rope of the Wushi Talisman was specially made and could not be burned by fire. He once tried it with fire without believing it, and it didn't even change the temperature, let alone burn through.

Suddenly, he remembered something else: his father had casually mentioned that this "nothing to worry about" plaque could recognize its owner.

At the time, Mu Jingheng thought his father might have been talking nonsense after hearing too many stories, but it seems to be true now.

Perhaps he encountered some opportunity that inadvertently led it to recognize him as its master, and its very nature was a space containing resources.

Mu Jingheng let out a deep breath. Perhaps this was a gift from heaven to give him a second chance at life? Otherwise, how could he have unlocked the secrets of something he had worn his whole life in his previous life?

Hearing that someone had come to ask Xu Xinning to make a house call again, he was worried that it would be dangerous in the dark, so he asked Xu Laosan to come into his room to get a flashlight. Before Xu Laosan came in, he took out several oilcloth raincoats from his space.

The entire brigade was pitch black. Fearing that the typhoon would damage the power lines and cause an accident, the county's power department had already cut off all the electricity.

Although it was completely dark, voices could be heard from time to time, and animal calls could be heard frequently.

This typhoon was destined to be anything but peaceful.

The pregnant woman is currently in a temporary shelter arranged by the brigade headquarters. Her due date was still some time away, but the baby was probably born prematurely due to excessive stress today.

When Xu Xinning went in, the midwife who often helped deliver babies was already there. Her hands were covered in blood, and she looked very anxious.

Xu Xinning didn't waste any time. As soon as she entered the room, she took the pregnant woman's pulse. The woman was already very weak, and if no measures were taken, it would be certain that both she and her unborn child would die.

Xu Xinning took out silver needles to perform acupuncture on her, and then promptly fed her a homemade pill. She then used her hands to adjust the baby's position on the pregnant woman's belly.

After receiving acupuncture and taking medication, the pregnant woman finally regained her strength, and the bleeding that had been flowing continuously stopped.

"Amazing! Absolutely amazing! The bleeding has stopped, and the baby is in the right position!" the midwife exclaimed joyfully.

This midwife was well-known in the surrounding villages. She had never made a mistake in her care. She was very experienced and could handle most situations. But what happened today really frightened her. She thought that if the baby was breech, she could use her old methods to fix it. But instead of turning the baby around, the pregnant woman suffered a postpartum hemorrhage. She was terrified.

The midwife was a woman of conscience. At the time, she didn't consider her own reputation at all. She was only thinking about the lives of two people. If the mother and child were to die in her hands today, she would never have peace of mind for the rest of her life. So, she immediately sent someone to call Xu Xinning.

She didn't know if Xu Xinning could handle it, but she remembered that Xu Xinning had cured Xu Xialian's husband in that condition, so she felt that Xu Xinning would definitely not let anything happen to the mother and daughter.

She turned out to be right.

Soon after, the sound of a child crying could be heard.

Daylight broke.

The wind has died down.

The child's father cried.

This night was far from peaceful.

Almost everyone in the brigade hadn't slept all night, and when they heard the newborn crying, they all couldn't help but smile.

It was a wrinkled little boy, tiny, probably weighing no more than five pounds, but his cries were very loud.

Yang Chunqin, who had been on edge all night, came over to join the commotion after hearing the crying. She had no idea what had happened to bring the child into the world, nor did she know that Xu Xinning would be there; she simply wanted to come and see what was happening since she had heard that a baby had been born.

When she saw Xu Laosan, her hands started itching again; she assumed Xu Laosan was also there to join in the fun.

Yang Chunqin: "Why are you here instead of staying at home? Isn't it chaotic enough already?"

Fearing that his mother would slap him again if he didn't explain quickly, Xu Laosan immediately said, "The pregnant woman had a difficult labor, and my sister was called over in the middle of the night. I came with my sister."

Xu Laosan's judgment was correct. Upon hearing this, Yang Chunqin realized that she had misunderstood Xu Laosan. The slap she had just raised was quickly changed to a slap on Xu Laosan's shoulder. To cover up her guilty conscience, Yang Chunqin asked, "Are you tired? Go back with your sister later and get some sleep."
