"Yes! Although the water in the space isn't suitable for bathing or anything like that, with the stored ice and water, it's definitely fine for daily drinking," Xu Han said.

"Is there enough water at home? We haven't gone to fetch water for several days. Let's go get some water tomorrow morning!" Lu Chuan asked.

"That should be enough for tomorrow, so let's go get some water first! What if you don't come back for a long time?" Xu Han said.

"We'll only be gone for three or four days at most. We'll explore the more remote mountains and come right back, and maybe see if there are any large animals around here," Lu Chuan explained.

"Yes! It'll be reassuring to have it checked," Grandpa Zhao agreed.

After the agreement was reached, everyone went to rest, and another day passed...

The next day, they proceeded as planned. During the time that Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest were away, Xu Han and Grandpa Zhao prepared a lot of food, enough for the four of them and the dogs to eat for a long time.

Tomorrow I'll cook some potatoes and sweet potatoes for the dogs as their main food. That'll fill up the space pretty much, and there won't be any room for anything else.

This is because Xu Han took a lot of sweet potatoes and potatoes from the cellar, cooked them, and put them in the space, which is why the space is almost full!

Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest went out for four days, and returned exhausted on the evening of the fourth day.

Xu Han prepared bathwater for them and then took out some food from her spatial storage.

After the two finished showering, they began to wolf down their dinner.

Xu Han and Grandpa Zhao hadn't had dinner either, so they ate a little together.

After dinner, the two of them finally calmed down a bit.

Xu Han asked, "How have things been these past few days? Have you found a new water source?"

Lu Chuan quickly replied, "We found it, but it's quite far from here. We probably won't go there to fetch water unless absolutely necessary."

Moreover, the water source over there is about the same volume as the water in the valley; if the valley dries up, the water source over there should also dry up.

The Taoist priest chimed in, "No matter what, it's a fallback plan! In most cases, we won't need it."

“Yes! There’s still water in the space! We definitely won’t lack water. In a critical situation, the only problem we might have to solve is personal hygiene,” Xu Han added.

"Let's take it one step at a time! There's still a crucial issue: we discovered tiger tracks when we ventured deep into the mountains, and fearing for your safety, we rushed back," the Taoist priest said.

Upon hearing this, Xu Han immediately became nervous and asked, "Will the tiger come here? How far is it from here?"

"I'm not sure about that, so Xiaochuan and I will stop going out and just stroll around the neighborhood so we can spot anything that might happen."

"Once the water runs out in the mountains, other wild animals will definitely come to this valley. The valley isn't far from here, so we still need to be vigilant."

"Then let's all be more vigilant from now on, so we can respond promptly to any situation," Grandpa Zhao agreed.

"You'll have a hard time staying home then. Xiao Chuan and I will probably have to be out a lot, not only watching out for wild animals, but also for anyone coming here."

And you'll just be stuck at home with Xiao Han, what can you do when your skills are so bad! Hahahaha. The Taoist priest laughed loudly.

"After hearing what you said earlier, I thought you were finally speaking like a human being. But what you said later was so infuriating! You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth," Grandpa Zhao said, equally unconvinced.

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Xu Han quickly interrupted them and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Grandpa Zhao to stay at home with me. I'll cook you lots of delicious food."

"Look, Xiao Han is the best. We'll make it and then not give it to him." Everyone laughed at this.

Another month passed uneventfully, and today is already June.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it's impossible to go out. Even if you want to go for a walk in the afternoon, you can't because it's too sunny.

The sun was like a giant furnace, completely enveloping everyone.

It makes it impossible to do anything else; even the slightest movement leaves you drenched in sweat, and the heat is unbearable.

In previous years, everyone would go out around 3 p.m. after their lunch break, but this year they couldn't go out even after 4 p.m. and had to stay in their rooms.

Xu Han is now four months pregnant, and her belly is slightly protruding, making her look like a pregnant woman.

Because of the hot weather, Xu Han has had a poor appetite and can't eat much. Even if she does eat a little, she will vomit it up. She has visibly lost a lot of weight.

Xu Han couldn't eat anything, which worried Lu Chuan greatly. He begged Grandpa Zhao for help, and in the end, Grandpa Zhao prescribed some medicine to help her recover a little.

However, Xu Han still couldn't eat much. She could only eat a little fruit each day, and if she ate too much, she would vomit it up. She could only eat small amounts frequently.

After his afternoon nap, Lu Chuan asked eagerly, "Honey, is there anything you want to eat? Would you like some fruit? I'll go wash it for you."

"I want to eat grapes. Could you wash some for me?"

"Should we eat the wild grapes we picked before?" Lu Chuan felt a pang of jealousy just thinking about it. He didn't know how his wife could eat them. She had eaten a lot of the wild grapes that they hadn't used to make wine.

You should know that when Lu Chuan ate it before, it was so sour that he couldn't even swallow it, but his wife doesn't find it sour at all now.

But if my wife finally has something she wants to eat, I definitely have to give her some. Otherwise, it's not good if she doesn't eat anything all day long.

So Lu Chuan quickly left the room and started washing grapes for Xu Han.

Since ice is now needed in two rooms, and the demand for ice is very high, Xu Han started making ice directly in the main room.

So the temperature inside the main room isn't very hot right now.

When Xu Han came out of the room, the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao were already sitting in the main room playing chess. It was too hot now, and there was nothing to do at home.

Generally, the Taoist priest and Lu Chuan would go out for a patrol in the morning and evening, and stay at home during noon and late afternoon.

"Girl, you're awake. How are you feeling now? Are you feeling better?" After saying that, Grandpa Zhao began to take Xu Han's pulse as usual.

"I'm much better now. I don't feel as nauseous today. I just want to eat something sour," Xu Han said shyly.

"It's alright, eat a little if you want, but don't eat too much. Everything should be done in moderation. Your pulse looks much better too."

"Yes! I understand, Grandpa Zhao," Xu Han said with a sweet smile.
