The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 218 Something Behind the Waterfall
Wang Wulang did indeed keep in mind Old Mrs. Wang's words and did not take the children too far. They only went up the mountain and walked a few more steps.

During the busy farming season, in addition to a bumper harvest of grains, there is also a bountiful harvest of various wild fruits. The wildflowers that once bloomed have now turned into fruits, hanging from the branches.

"Ayu, these are all saved for you!" a little boy said, sniffling and showing off his treasure.

When they go to the mountains to pick fruit, the adults don't pick much; they just say the rest is for Ayu to eat when she comes back.

Everyone knows that Xiao Ayu likes to eat fruit, so whenever people pass by, those who can pull weeds will help pull weeds, and those who can fertilize will help fertilize.

Therefore, the wild fruits around Hujia Village always grow exceptionally well, only slightly inferior to those wild fruits that were once drenched by the "divine rain".

The adults liked Xiao Ayu and would help her stock up on things, which the children got used to. This was because Xiao Ayu usually gave them more food than the adults did.

Wang Dalang, who lived in the village, would sometimes see the children gazing longingly at the wild fruits, and he would pick some wild fruits from the ground and share them with them.

He was worried that the children would feel resentful and hold a grudge against Ayu.

"Ayu, put the Spirit-Testing Rat down," Wang Wulang said to little Ayu.

The Spirit-Testing Rat was in an unfamiliar environment and was somewhat wary, not daring to come down for a long time.

The little lamb got impatient and bleated twice. The Spirit-Testing Rat jumped off Xiao Ayu's shoulder as if it had seen a cat.

The Spirit Rat stood on the ground, somewhat bewildered.

He was surrounded by a group of children.

Why isn't it moving?

"Is it because we don't have any treasure here that it can't find it?"

"It's just an ordinary mouse."

The little children chattered amongst themselves, their eyes filled with confusion.

Wang Wulang coughed once and felt somewhat embarrassed.

What's with this spirit-testing rat? There really aren't any treasures around their village.

"Ayu, can you make it go find the treasure?" Wang Wulang wasn't sure if little Ayu could command it.

Little Ayu squatted down, patted the Spirit-Testing Rat's head, and whispered, "Little Rat, can you help me?"

The Spirit Treasure Mouse swayed its head left and right, thoroughly enjoying Little Ayu's caresses.

But he remained motionless.

The lamb stepped forward and headbutted it.

The Spirit Rat quickly scurried away, squeaking. After a while, it turned back to look at Little Ayu and squeaked again.

"Is it telling us to follow?" Wang Wulang sensed something.

So the children followed the magic rat forward.

They darted in and out of the grass, remembering at first not to go too far, but then they forgot.

So they walked further and further away, until they heard a rushing sound of water.

"Oh dear, we've arrived here!" Wang Wulang's heart skipped a beat when he saw the huge waterfall in front of him.

Oh no, they're too far from home. The mountain range behind them connects two countries, with a no-man's-land in between. The children usually don't dare to go deep into the mountains.

Especially this waterfall, which is directly a warning line. There is no road after walking a little further outside the waterfall.

So no matter how far they went, they had to return immediately as soon as they heard the sound of water, because it meant they were very far from home.

The Spirit-Testing Rat stopped in front of the waterfall, its head constantly peering towards it, looking somewhat anxious.

The other children, eager to see the Spirit Rat, forgot their fatigue and followed along, holding their breath.

By now, they were all exhausted.

There were more than 10 children in total, but only three were little girls.

The little girls managed to stay silent, while the little boys fell to the ground, crying and wanting to go home.

"There's no treasure, nothing at all! I want to go home, I want to find my mother!"

"I'm so hungry, I'm so tired, I want to sleep!"

"Waaaaah, Mommy, Mommy, I'm lost, I can't get home, waaaaah..."

Wang Wulang suddenly felt overwhelmed. "Alright, stop crying!" Wang Wulang sighed. What a mess this was. "I'll go find you some food."

He didn't dare go too far. Fortunately, there were many aquatic fruits growing by the waterfall, each one bright yellow and with only a slight sour taste.

The children were hungry and didn't care about anything else.

The Spirit-Testing Rat is still trying to get to the waterfall.

Little Ayu was a little puzzled. Could there be something in this waterfall?
"Little Mouse, are you alright?" Little Ayu wanted to comfort the Spirit Treasure Mouse.

She didn't think the Treasure-Testing Mouse could actually find treasures, but following it was quite fun.

Without the fairy's reminder, Xiao Ayu had no idea that she was too far from home.

The thought of the elf made Xiao Ayu feel sad; the elf probably didn't want her anymore.

"Baa!" Before Xiao Ayu could get close to the Spirit-Testing Rat, the little lamb next to her suddenly seemed to be stimulated, let out a loud bleat, and started pawing at the ground with its hind hooves.

Then, using the momentum, they plunged directly into the waterfall right in front of the children.

"Little lamb!" Little Ayu cried out in fright.

However, the lamb disappeared instantly, like a drop of water disappearing into a waterfall.

Where are the sheep?

"Why can't I see it?"

"Did it fall into the water?"

"I didn't see anything!"

The children, ignoring their hunger and fatigue, all wanted to get closer to the waterfall to see it.

The waterfall is huge; they are on a platform in the middle, with more than ten feet below.

Wang Wulang carried them back, one in each hand.

"You all don't want to live anymore! If you fall in, none of you will survive!"

Even though Wang Wulang himself wasn't very old, and even though he knew a little doggy paddle, he was still afraid of the surging waterfall.

He wouldn't dare to save these children if they fell into the water.

Now Wang Wulang realized the weight of his responsibility; if any of the children here got into trouble, he would get a beating when he got back.

Now that the lamb has disappeared again, Wang Wulang feels even more terrified.

The little sheep was very powerful and could even control snakes, so although Wang Wulang felt a little regretful, he wasn't very afraid.

Now that the little lamb is no longer protecting them, Wang Wulang just wants to send these people back as soon as possible. As for treasure hunting and adventure, he has no interest in them at all.

"Wow—"

"Bah!"

Just then, a noise came from the waterfall, and a lamb emerged from the water.

He ventured onto the rock, a perilous and risky position, and barely managed to steady himself.

The soaking wet lamb shook its wool vigorously before walking towards Xiao Ayu.

Little Ayu noticed that the lamb had something hanging around its neck.

It looked like a collar, dark and covered with a thick layer of rust.

"What is this?" Little Ayu quickly took the things off the little lamb.

Everyone was curious to see what it was, but Wang Wulang turned his gaze to the waterfall, lost in thought.

There's an open space behind this waterfall. Could this be the treasure?
Wang Wulang felt his heart pounding, as if he had discovered a great secret.

No, he has to tell Grandma about this!

They need to get back quickly!
Just then, a group of people suddenly walked over. They were on the path below the waterfall, and looking up, they saw a group of children above.

Wang Wulang also lowered his head and made eye contact with the people below.

The update was automatic at 23:27 on the 14th, and I will start working overtime (scratch that) to update more at midnight on the 15th.
