After seeing off Han Tianliang and the others, Zhao Xinyu looked at the remaining space water. Seeing that the large barrel was now empty, he turned his gaze to the gap in the east wall.

When the construction was initially carried out, the team had deliberately built a road for easy access to the Luo River. Now, with the gap in the east wall, Zhao Xinyu easily descended the steps to the riverbank and began to pour space water into the river, stopping only when he felt a bit tired.

"Black Wind, let's go and meet a companion," he said, returning to the room to freshen up before entering the space with Black Wind.

Perhaps sensing the significant changes in the space, Black Wind let out a long howl upon entering. Moments later, bird calls echoed from the distant grape garden, causing Black Wind to turn his head, his eyes flickering continuously.

Leading Black Wind to the grape garden, Zhao Xinyu noticed that Jinhen and Jinyu seemed to have grown a bit over the past few days. The two large creatures wanted to approach when they saw Zhao Xinyu, but they became wary upon seeing Black Wind by his side.

Zhao Xinyu understood the harshness of the animal world. He chuckled, patted Black Wind's back, and pointed at Jinhen and Jinyu, "They are your new companions. You mustn't bully them." He didn't notice the hint of fear in Black Wind's eyes at that moment.

"Go, get to know each other."

When they approached, Zhao Xinyu noticed that the once lively Black Wind now seemed listless and weak.

"Jinhen, Jinyu, this is Black Wind, my best companion. From now on, we are one family."

Jinhen and Jinyu tilted their heads and looked at Black Wind, letting out low chirps. They then walked over to him, gently flapping their large wings on his body. Black Wind instantly perked up and responded with low growls.

"You can go play. I'll go plant some fruit trees," he thought of the nearly dead fruit saplings he had picked up from the seed company on his way back.

If he were outside, Zhao Xinyu would need tools, but in the space, he simply inserted the saplings into the green soil.

After planting the saplings, he looked at the distant, already ripe sour plums, swallowing a few times. He hadn't eaten sour plums in years and wanted to relive the childhood feeling.

As he approached, two pheasants flew up, and several baby pheasants ran out from under the sour plums. The two pheasants called out and, upon seeing Zhao Xinyu, circled and landed, running to his side and chirping. The baby pheasants gathered around their parents, tilting their heads to look at the unfamiliar visitor.

Seeing this family, Zhao Xinyu felt a surge of excitement. That day, he had left in a hurry, but his mercy had given him a big surprise.

He now had a better understanding of the space's capabilities. It wouldn't be long before the pheasants formed a large group, and then he wouldn't have to worry about meat anymore.

He waved at the pheasants, and the pheasant couple led their children away. He then got a closer look at the sour plums after the space's transformation.

The sour plum plants were about 1.2 to 1.3 meters tall, with fruits the size of broad beans, either blood red or golden yellow. The fruits were so dense that they almost obscured the leaves, and the thin branches bent downward in a bow shape.

Looking at the lush sour plums, Zhao Xinyu swallowed a few times. His mouth seemed to taste the unique sour-sweet flavor of the sour plums.

He picked a few and put them in his mouth. Like the grapes in the space, they melted instantly. Unlike the sour plums he remembered, these were sweet with a tangy flavor, their juice as thick as honey, leaving a cool sensation after swallowing.

Perhaps because they were so delicious, Zhao Xinyu, like in his childhood, kept stuffing his mouth with sour plums. After a while, his face was covered with sticky juice, and he didn't know how many he had eaten. Eventually, his teeth felt itchy when they touched the sour plums, and he stopped.

Looking at his juice-covered hands, he rubbed them, but the juice was like paste, making his hands feel sticky and hard to move.

Shaking his head, he went to the lake to clean his hands and face. When he left the space with Black Wind, he saw that his chest was covered in sour plum juice, which made him laugh. If Han Li and the others saw him like this, they would surely laugh.

After washing his clothes and checking the time, it was already 3 a.m. Thinking about the tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, green peppers, and beans in the yard that had suffered without his care, he decided to enter the space again to move the vegetables out.

By around 6 a.m., feeling that Han Li and the others were about to come to collect the vegetables, he left the space, opened the gate, and went back home to collapse on the big bed. He had been on guard against wild animals in the mountains for days, and now, after pouring space water and picking vegetables, he was exhausted and quickly fell asleep.

If it were anyone else in the village, they wouldn't dare open the gate, but Zhao Xinyu wasn't worried. Black Wind had grown into a large dog, and his size alone was enough to scare people. He never ate food from unfamiliar people, and if Zhao Xinyu was home, he wouldn't even acknowledge Han Li and the others, let alone go out. He would know if there was any movement, and there was also a surveillance system in the house.

Not long after Zhao Xinyu fell asleep, Han Li and the others arrived. Seeing the pile of vegetables in the yard, they all looked at Zhao Xinyu's room.

They had left very late the previous night, and the amount of vegetables in front of them couldn't have been picked in just a few hours. Clearly, Zhao Xinyu hadn't slept all night.

Considering that they were hired by Zhao Xinyu, he shouldn't have had to do this himself, but now...

Feeling a bit grateful, they didn't go to Zhao Xinyu's room as they usually did but started to quietly load the vegetables onto the truck and take them away.

Just as Zhao Xinyu was half-asleep, he felt someone pushing him and heard a voice, "Lazy pig, wake up. It's already ten o'clock."

He rubbed his eyes, got up, and saw five beautiful women standing in the room, all staring at him.

"Your skin is so smooth, even better than mine."

Zhao Xinyu's face turned red, and he quickly pulled on a T-shirt, "Why are you here?" The five women in his room were Du Mengnan, Yu Mo, and the others.

"Zhao Xinyu, do you know that Mengmeng has been missing you so much these past few days that she even calls your name in her sleep."

Du Mengnan's face turned bright red, and she reached out to grab Yu Mo, who giggled and ran out of the room. Du Mengnan followed her out.

"Zhao Xinyu, Yu Mo's ointment is finished, and you haven't made the ointment you promised us. We came to see if you were back," Liu Ruoxi said in a sweet voice.

Zhao Xinyu nodded and looked at the three beautiful women in the room, "Ladies, please step out for a moment. I need to get dressed."

This made the three women's faces turn red, and they realized they were in a man's house who was still in bed, and he was their age.

Zhao Xinyu got up, freshened up, and went out of the yard. He saw that Du Mengnan and the others had already gone to the grape arbor, so he followed them, as he was the host now.

"Zhao Xinyu, what are these?" Upon reaching the grape arbor, before he could speak, Du Mengnan pointed at the leftover dandelions, bitter herbs, and mushrooms from yesterday, while Yu Mo was squatting down, studying the wine jar that still emitted a fragrant aroma.

Zhao Xinyu was slightly taken aback, "You don't recognize these?"

Du Mengnan pouted, "Why haven't I eaten them?"

"These are what I brought back yesterday. There are more, and I'll cook them for you at noon."

"Mengmeng, smell this. The wine smells so good, and there's a hint of herbal medicine."

Du Mengnan turned and squatted down, then looked up, "Did you bring this back too?"

"This is the medicinal wine my grandfather brewed. I..."
