Looking at the strong woman in front of him, Hua Jiujiu had a headache. With her thin body, she probably wouldn’t be able to move this woman.

She wondered if she could bring her into the space together.

Hua Jiujiu tried and realized that she could really bring her in. This made her extremely excited.

It seemed that this space still had many functions.

Not long after, Hua Jiujiu arrived at her destination. She moved Wang Mei out of the space and threw her under the tree, preparing to leave.

However, she thought of something and found some herbs nearby that could repel insects and beasts. She crushed them and surrounded her with them.

Although this woman was despicable, she was not so horrible as to be bitten to death by poisonous snakes and insects.

After everything was done, Hua Jiujiu went home.

When she was coming here, she walked quickly as she was afraid that she would not be able to make it in time.

Now that she had nothing to do, she walked back slowly. It was late at night, so it was convenient for her to think about some things.

When she passed by a small river, Hua Jiujiu even took off her clothes and jumped in to wash up. She had not showered for a long time and smelled horrible. How could she, as someone who loved cleanliness, accept this?

The autumn water was still a little cold.

Hua Jiujiu’s thin body could not help but tremble.

She kept rubbing her arms, trying to get used to the temperature of the water.

The river was very clear.

Under the moonlight, Hua Jiujiu could see the bottom of the river clearly. She could even see fish swimming quickly.

There was actually fish!

Hua Jiujiu thought of the river in the space and wanted to keep this fish in there.

After all, fish was very nutritious and their family needed it very much.

Moreover, her mother needed crucian carps to help with lactation.

Hua Jiujiu tried to put the fish into the space without touching it. After all, fish were too difficult to catch.

However, after trying for a long time, it was useless.

Feeling helpless, she gave up and decided to try and touch them.

Fortunately, it wasn’t like she hadn’t gone into the river to fish when she was young. She had also learned some fishing techniques, so it didn’t take long for her to touch a few fish. However, the fish she touched were all very small, and she wanted to touch some larger fish. This way, she could directly stew fish soup tomorrow.

The skinny figure got closer and closer to the center of the river. She spotted a fish and pounced on it.

She got one.

Hua Jiujiu smiled.

However, before she could rejoice, she slipped and fell into the water with the fish.

Hua Jiujiu choked and was about to swim back to the shore when her leg suddenly cramped.

Her expression changed.

A cramp, now of all times!

Hua Jiujiu kept struggling in the water. Clearly, she had forgotten that she had the space.

By the time she remembered about the space, her head was already extremely deprived of oxygen, making it impossible for her to open the space.

It was over…

Was she going to die again?

At this moment, a large hand suddenly appeared on her arm and pulled her out of the water. Right on the heels of that, her body felt warm as a cloak wrapped around her.

Hua Jiujiu looked at the person who saved her in a daze.

However, before she could see his face clearly, she fainted.

The only thing she remembered was obsidian-like eyes that were so deep that they could suck people in.

Lou Sijin looked at the thin woman in his arms and frowned slightly.

Why did he follow this woman and even save her?

Could it be because she’d given him a meal?
