Disaster Apocalypse: Farming, Family, and My Hidden Secret Space

That's right, my obedient granddaughter is the one who possesses the blessed land space and is granted some Divine Power. What's strange about that?

Thinking of my granddaughter's natural strength, stronger than any man, and now with this Divine Power, there's really nothing to worry about when she goes out.

According to what she said, if there are people who don't know better when she's out, they should be the ones worried.

With that, Granny Qi completely relaxed, as long as the child is safe.

"Granny, it's as true as gold," Hua Jin nodded heavily.

Then she proved it with action, using spiritual power to scoop a ladle of water from the kitchen and a bat for laundry, floating them into Granny's room.

If the other family members weren't out and the yard door wasn't tightly shut, people might actually believe there were ghosts in broad daylight.

She jumped off the bed, controlled the wooden basin, stood in it herself, while controlling the ladle of water to stop above her, then "whoosh," all of it poured down.

Shocked, the mother and grandmother on the bed scrambled to get down, but the water had already poured down.

"Are you crazy, child?" Granny Hua pulled Hua Jin out of the wooden basin.

Qi was nervously observing her daughter, just about to reach out, but when she saw her daughter perfectly dry, she was momentarily stunned.

"I'm fine," Hua Jin obediently let her grandmother pull her out, then spun lightly to show herself.

"Look, aren't I completely dry?"

She waved her arms, and although she wore practical short clothes for work and training, not the flowing sleeves that would make her look stunning, she still made an impression.

"How can this be?" Granny Hua fondly caressed her granddaughter's clothes, whispering in disbelief. If she hadn't witnessed it, she wouldn't believe it.

Clearly, a whole ladle of water had been poured over her head, yet her hair and clothes weren't wet at all.

"That's because I wrapped myself in a layer of spiritual power from head to toe, forming an invisible, intangible membrane, so I am not affected by external factors. The virus is like this water, blocked outside, so your dear granddaughter won't be in harm's way."

With the reality before them, they couldn't help but believe it. Plus, what the child said made so much sense, the shocked mother-in-law and daughter-in-law completely believed it.

Smiles reappeared on their faces. It seemed they had worried unnecessarily—although the child's personality was becoming less like a typical girl, she never joked about her safety and could be relied upon for serious matters, that's where they were wrong.

"So...you want to go down the mountain for those children."

"Yes...and I'm almost out of medicine, thinking that since I helped, I should check on them. Those children are truly pitiful, no parents or relatives, infected with the plague, and still caring for each other despite being sick themselves. I can't just watch them wait to die...so I couldn't help but take some medicine from the blessed land, hoping it would be useful."

"You did the right thing," Granny Hua held her granddaughter's hand, "When it's fate, and it's good, you can't just watch them wait to die."

Hua Jin nodded. It was precisely because they were children—innocent, warm-hearted, supporting each other—that she wanted to help. Had they been adults, she wouldn't have gotten involved.

In fact, in the Western District where those kids lived, the tents housed many people, and who knows how many suffered from the plague. If they knew she had medicine, they'd go mad. She'd have to be fed up with life to do that.

After a year and a half of floods, then severe winter, and now the plague, each trial tested humanity, and Hua Jin truly found it hard to trust in human kindness.

Of course...this trip was mainly to see if the children had improved, but not only that. If it proved effective, Hua Jin had an idea of pouring some stream water from the space into local wells, hoping it would help.

...It's the only thing she can do.

"Your granny is right. This time, it was my fault for blaming you," Qi added.

"Not at all, mom, you were just worried about me," Hua Jin shook her head; she couldn't bear her mother feeling down.

And with her words, her mother visibly relaxed.

"This time, I support you. Those kids still care for their siblings despite their own suffering; it's admirable. If we can help, we should, and children represent future hope..."

Hua Jin never expected her mother to say something so profound, showing impressive breadth of perspective.

She quickly agreed, as long as her mother didn't overthink things.

"So, are you agreeing to let me go down the mountain this time?" Hua Jin carefully asked her grandmother and mother.

"Would you not go if we said no?" Qi gave her daughter an ungraceful eye-roll, then playfully poked her daughter's forehead a few times, "You!"

Though her words carried helplessness, the worry was gone. As long as the child wasn't in danger and understood boundaries, Qi was indulgent with her.

Of course, her heart told her not to let her daughter go, but children grow up and have their thoughts; they can't be tied to their parents forever. Even fledglings must learn to fly, so parents must learn to let go.

Plus, she was doing a good deed. Qi was a soft-hearted person, even with how her family treated her, unlike others who would be bitterly indifferent.

Thinking of those poor children her daughter mentioned, some younger than Little Four, and their lives ending so tragically, was heart-wrenching.

"Thank you, mom. You're too good, I love you so much," Hua Jin said excitedly, planting a loud kiss on her mother's cheek, smiling sweetly as her eyes crinkled into slits. Then a distant voice suddenly interrupted, and she opened her eyes wide.

"So Granny...isn't good?" The clearly jealous voice had Hua Jin turning around to hug her wistful-looking Granny Hua.

She beamed a bright smile and sweetly said, "Who said that? My granny is the best in the world..."

"Really, you're not just saying that to make Granny happy..." Granny Hua suppressed a smile while pretending to scold her granddaughter.

"No way, how could I just be trying to make Granny happy? Your dear granddaughter is speaking the truth, there's no one better than my granny under the sky."

The soft, sweet voice, especially filled with sincerity, broke Granny Hua into laughter.

"Did we have any honey water this morning?" she jokingly asked her daughter-in-law.

"No, we didn't," Qi stifled her laughter.

"No honey, so why is this little mouth so sweet!" Granny Hua pinched her granddaughter's cheeks joyfully.

"I did, I did, Granny, have a taste too," saying this, she planted a firm kiss on Granny Hua's cheek, and they all burst into giggles together.

When Grandpa Hua, along with the sons and grandsons, returned from the fields, they were met with laughter, which made them smile as well. Even the returning dogs, Big White and Little Ash, were wagging their tails furiously and rushed into the main room with excited whimpers soon following.

"Mom, Granny, what are you talking about that's making you so happy? I want to hear too..."

Little Four, ever the lively one, couldn't stand to miss out, quickly dusting off the mountain soil, washing up, and bounding into the room like a little monkey, causing another round of laughs.

Outside in the yard, the sound of laughter deepened.
