All a dream
After saying that, Jiang Xia took a large piece of leaf and entered her interspace. While in it, Jiang Xia used the large piece of leaf to collect some water.
Zhou Lan watched as Jiang Xia suddenly disappeared and reappeared. The large leaf she had picked out was already filled with water when she reappeared.
Zhou Lan’s eyes widened as she exclaimed in surprise, “Xiao Xia, you’ve also obtained a power? The ability to retrieve water?”
Jiang Xia shook her head, “It’s not water. It’s more like an interspace. There’s grass, river, and two to three acres of cultivated land.”
“Is this the type of space for the female protagonists in novels?” Zhou Lan started expecting more when she heard of her daughter’s power.
Instead of a space for female protagonists, Jiang Xia felt that the Jade was more like a tool that could teleport people from one space to the other. However, it was useless to think too much into it, so she just treated it as an extra space for now!
“I don’t know! It might be!” Jiang Xia said, scratching her head.
“My daughter, you’re so lucky! How did you discover this ability?” Zhou Lan asked.
Jiang Xia pulled out the red string from her neck. The small and delicate Jade became very crystal clear under the sun.
“Eh? Isn’t this the one you’ve been carrying? This is how you travel to the interspace?” Zhou Lan said in disbelief.
Jiang Xia nodded, confirming Zhou Lan’s guess.
“Really? But there wasn’t anything special before, so why did this interspace suddenly appear?”
“I’m not sure, but it was the same with dad’s car!”
After hearing Jiang Xia’s words, Zhou Lan felt that she was right. Both of them had obtained their powers without knowing. The only difference was that she and Jiang Chuan had obtained their own powers, while Jiang Xia’s powers were attached to other objects.
After thinking this through, Zhou Lan quickly accepted the fact that her daughter had a new power.
Jiang Xia handed the water to Zhou Lan while they thought about what to do next.
To return empty-handed would be such an embarrassment. If they return now, they couldn’t keep their promise to find wild vegetables for dinner. However, they didn’t have the strength to go up the mountain.
They couldn’t just sacrifice their life for the sake of how they look in front of the villagers!
Just as Jiang Xia was discussing with Zhou Lan about looking around the area for food, Zhou Lan suddenly commented, “This water is really good!”
“Look at how thirsty you are! Even the water taste good,” Jiang Xia teased her mother with a smile.
“No, Xiao Xia, this water is actually sweet!”
Zhou Lan’s words puzzled Jiang Xia. It was just water from a river; she didn’t add any sugar. How could it be sweet?
“Xiao Xia, do you have more of this water?” Zhou Lan asked while she placed the big leaf in Jiang Xia’s hands.
Filled with suspicion, Jiang Xia entered the interspace again. Placing the leaf aside, Jiang Xia cupped the water with both hands and began drinking. Surprisingly, even Jiang Xia thought that the water in this space was sweet. It was even better than spring water.
After taking two sips of the water, Jiang Xia appeared in front of Zhou Lan with the leaf.
“Xiao Xia, do you feel like your body is full of strength?”
The corner of Jiang Xia’s mouth twitched. She suspected that her mother is overthinking again.
“Mother, I’m afraid we don’t have enough strength to go up the mountain. Why don’t we look nearby to see if there are any wild vegetables.”
Zhou Lan stood up and took two steps, but she no longer felt tired or hungry this time.
“Xiao Xia, I really don’t feel hungry anymore. Instead, I feel full of energy. Why don’t you get up and try walking around?”
At first, Jiang Xia was skeptical about her mother’s words, but stood up and tried walking around. It was extraordinary, but she really did feel a lot better. She even suspected that she got brainwashed by her mother?
Jiang Xia thought about it for a while, but she still couldn’t be sure if the changes in their bodies were due to the water.
However, they were ready to proceed according to their previous plan since they had enough physical strength.
The two of them walked a lot faster this time as they regained their physical strength and managed to reach the top of the mountain in less than an hour.
Jiang Xia had mixed feelings looking at their surroundings. They came up here without any preparations and found out they had powers. After receiving the memories from the original bodies, they had to live as another person. Too many things had been going on in the past few days that she didn’t have the time to think about it. But now, she couldn’t help but doubt if all of this was real. Perhaps it is all a dream?
