The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 764 Ayu Saves People
Ayu sat in the rocking chair, pressed the mechanism, and the entire mechanism peeled away layer by layer like an onion, then quickly reassembled, soon becoming a mechanical outline.

Two mechanical legs protected Ayu's legs, and three layers of support around her waist prevented her from being crushed by the large object. Her arms were also encased in machinery, while her head was completely covered to ensure that even her mother, Liu, would not recognize her when she came here.

Tuanzi had participated in the design of wheelchairs, and as a doting child, it had already let Ayu try it out in the space, so Ayu was not unfamiliar with the operation.

Mechanical exoskeletons are heavy, but their purpose is to assist the human body in performing tasks beyond human limits, such as easily climbing valley walls nearly 100 meters high.

This version of Ayu's was secretly modified by Tuanzi, making it superior to the version used by Xiaoyao Wang, and even capable of connecting with Ayu's spiritual system.

However, just in case, Tuanzi didn't plan to let Ayu connect. After all, this was an ancient world, and if there were things that were too far beyond the world's own settings, it would be easy for the child to be treated as a virus and expelled, which would be a huge loss.

Ayu was unaware of the details; she simply asked Tuanzi to help her find people in need of assistance in the surrounding area.

Soon, she arrived at a precipice where a little girl's leg was pinned under a boulder. The boulder was teetering on the edge of the cliff, and the little girl was in imminent danger.

Ayu leaped down and scooped up the boulder before it completely rolled away. Then, her mechanical leg slammed into the boulder, causing it to fall abruptly.

The little girl was rescued by Ayu, but she seemed to be stunned and just stared blankly at her.

Ayu hurriedly took her pulse and checked her pulse; her breathing was slightly irregular.

However, she herself was not very skilled in medicine and mostly relied on the spiritual spring water.

"Elf, please find me some pills that can soothe my mood."

"Yes, everything is in place."

Ayu led her up the valley, found a flat spot to put her down, put a pill in her mouth, took out some pastries, and then turned and left.

Just as she was about to leave, the little girl tugged at her sleeve.

"What's wrong?" Because of the mechanical mask, his voice became muffled, even metallic.

The little girl said, "Mother..."

The moment she uttered the word "mother," it was as if a floodgate had been opened, and the little girl burst into tears.

"I'll help you find your mother, don't cry yet." With lives at stake, Ayu couldn't just linger here, so she pulled out another sleeping doll from her spatial storage, shaped like a venomous snake.

Back when Ayu couldn't control her thoughts properly, her space was filled with venomous snakes dressed in clothes. Later, those snakes disappeared, and Ayu missed them terribly. Despite the huge psychological trauma, Tuanzi made one for her.

Tuanzi herself didn't know how to do these things, but fortunately, she had an excellent learning ability and quickly figured them out.

Sometimes, Ayu would hug it while sleeping.

"This is my favorite thing. Let it stay with you for now, I'll come back for it later." After hurriedly explaining, Ayu climbed down the valley wall to rescue the little girl, without caring whether she would be scared.

She is fast, has sufficient internal strength, and her mechanical skeleton is even more powerful.

Before long, she had rescued about ten people and placed them all next to the little girl.

As luck would have it, one of the dying women was the little girl's mother. When the little girl saw her, she immediately hugged the snake doll and squatted down beside her.

Ayu casually left a bottle of pills, saying, "If anyone is injured, take this medicine first to replenish your energy."

After she left, the others looked at each other, their faces still showing signs of shock.

"Who was that person just now?"

"Are you from Baili Valley, giving us medicine as well?"

"It must be the Medicine King Bodhisattva! Only a Bodhisattva could fly away so freely and yet still give us medicine."

The people didn't really want to come up with anything. Having just experienced a great disaster, they were already feeling uneasy. They were rescued in a daze and wanted to say something to break the fear in their hearts, so they could only say what they saw.

The little girl clutched the venomous snake doll tightly in her hand, which made the others shudder.

That doesn't look like a real snake; it looks more like it's made of cloth. I've seen cloth made of puppies and rabbits, but I've never seen it made of venomous snakes.

Then I thought about it again. The chivalrous man who saved the person was also cold-blooded. And this doll was holding something given to it by the other party. Could it be the snake immortal in disguise?

Regardless of what they thought, Ayu didn't care at all.

After the earthquake, there were several aftershocks, and the entire Baili Valley looked like a ruin.

Perhaps there was once a concealment formation here, but after the earthquake, everything was exposed. The pavilions and towers inside have all been reduced to ashes, and only ruins can be vaguely seen.

Ayu originally wanted to go and rescue people, but she found that although there were many casualties, there were still many people who had the ability to help others. They even counted a lot of medicines and tools and were working hard to rescue people.

Ayu didn't want to cause any more trouble, so she rescued the people on the outside, studied the Nine Dragons Treasure Cauldron to ensure there wouldn't be any more major earthquakes, and then found a flat place in the valley to settle another group of people.

She saved about a hundred people, more than a dozen of whom were outside the valley.

After the rescue, she kept only a small portion of food and sent a few people who still had the strength to go to a nearby village to fetch the villagers and bring out the livestock that had perished in the earthquake, so that they could temporarily divide the meat of these animals.

As for other support supplies, someone will come at that time.

"Bao, if you're going to get those people who lost their livestock to contribute, you should at least leave them something."

Tuanzi reminded her. Ayu was initially puzzled. When the snow avalanche occurred in the village, everyone in the village had to scrape together what they could, even though they had been suffering from famine for a long time.

But then she realized that not everyone from every place is from Hujia Village.

Besides, she's an outsider. Even if she saved his life, what does it matter? Once she's gone, some people will feel resentful.

After thinking for a moment, she called those people aside and left them small, inconspicuous keepsakes. They were sachets embroidered by her second aunt, Ma, for the family members, each with their nickname and unique pattern.

Ayu's is naturally the most exquisite and beautiful, but this little purse was given by Ma to Ayu as a gift. It is of medium quality, and those with a little wealth would not care much about it.

This is a very suitable token; if others see it, they won't be so desperate as to steal it.

She told those people that if they ever encountered difficulties in the future, they could go to any of the Wang Family Steamed Bun Shops with the gold-lettered plaque and exchange tokens for money.

This trick was something Ayu learned from Zhang Zhan back then.

For poor families, the only problem they face is money; with a little money, they can manage.

Those people were grateful to Ayu and didn't think much of it, so they accepted the gifts and agreed.

Ayu left her signal along the way and rushed to the next place to rescue people.

It was ten days later when the carefree king arrived with his men and supplies and found Ayu.

Although the disaster was not as severe as in the epicenter, there were still casualties in other places along the way. As a prince, Xiaoyao Wang naturally had to think about the people, so he was delayed for a few days.

Ayu has been staying in Yuecheng for ten days.

Inside and outside Yuecheng, there were traces of burning everywhere, and the ground was covered with withered branches and leaves, where the injured lay groaning in pain.

Not far away, a row of soup kitchens had been set up, and behind them was a row of medicine kitchens, from which a strong smell of herbs wafted.

Ayu was in one of the herb sheds.

"Sir, someone is looking for you outside!" A man dressed as a yamen runner rushed into the medicine shed and reported.

Ayu threw the herbs in her hand into the pot and said to the person helping her, "Please keep an eye on the heat. It needs to simmer for another 45 minutes before it's ready to be served. Don't throw away the dregs; keep them so I can come back to check on it later."

"Okay, don't worry, sir."

Ayu then wiped her hands and walked outside.

She thought that the people coming must be Uncle Shu and his group, since they had discussed it beforehand and should have arrived by now, after so many days.

Unexpectedly, the people waiting outside were not the carefree king and his companions.

Ayu went outside and saw a tall man speaking softly to someone next to him.

Ayu's eyes widened, her pace quickened, then accelerated, and she ran over like the wind.

"Big brother!" Ayu suddenly threw herself into the man's arms.

Upon hearing Ayu's voice, Wang Dalang turned around and embraced her tightly.

Wang Dalang was also excited. He lifted Ayu's head and looked at her several times, frowning: "How come you've lost so much weight!"

"Oh dear, a daughter should lose weight by my age, it's alright." Ayu obediently shook her head.

Only then did Wang Dalang release Ayu and push her away a bit.

My little sister Ayu is too big now, it's not appropriate to hold her like this.

But Wang Dalang was very happy. When they were little, Ayu was the least close to him. Her other brothers had always carried her and hugged her. Ayu was also affectionate with them, but she seemed to keep a distance from him, which made Wang Dalang feel strange.

Seeing his sister so close to him now, he felt an indescribable warmth in his heart.

"Brother, what brings you here?"

Wang Dalang said, "We were originally transporting a batch of grain to Woye County. We have a granary here. On the way, we heard that there was an earthquake here, so we thought of donating the grain to the government. We were busy there for a few days when we heard that there was a Lord Wang here, a little girl of about ten years old. I guessed it was you, so I came to see."

What he didn't say was that he had been working for days and nights, so exhausted that his eyelids were drooping. But upon hearing news that it might be Ayu, he didn't even have time to eat before riding off on horseback.

I even tripped and fell on the way, breaking my bones. I quickly adjusted my fracture and rushed over.

He thought that Ayu had never suffered such hardship since she was a child, and he wondered if anyone was taking care of her or if she was injured. As he thought about this, he forgot about himself.

Fortunately, now it seems that although my sister looks a bit tired, she is full of energy.

He was finally relieved.

"Have you written to your family before you came here? Don't let Grandma and the others worry." Wang Dalang said, and was about to give Ayu the candy he had brought with him, but he fell silent before he could finish his sentence.

When Ayu looked, she saw that her older brother had fallen asleep standing up, still holding the candy, but the anxiety in his expression had disappeared.

Ayu's eyes immediately welled up with tears.
