Abandoned Woman Busy Farming-Chapter 2362 - 2361: Catastrophe on the Island

"That side is so beautiful, let’s go have a look." Bai Ruozhu said excitedly.

The sound of flowing water calmed many people’s minds, and the misty feeling was so unreal that Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but think of the legend mentioned by the village chief, that this small island seemed like a relic left by the gods, hiding many unknown secrets.

"Okay." Jiang Yichun’s eyebrows softened a bit. Although she hadn’t said much, she had been quite bored on the boat these days, so it was rare to have such enthusiasm today, which made him happy as well.

Hand in hand, they walked towards the depths of the mist, only to discover that this was a natural hot spring, and the mist was created by the high temperature of the water. The sound of flowing water was produced by several spring eyes bubbling outward.

Bai Ruozhu touched the hot spring and said with a smile, "It’s quite hot, you could cook hot spring eggs."

Jiang Yichun carefully looked around and asked curiously, "It seems people on the island rarely come here, see, there are no footprints nearby, and the moss by the pond is perfectly intact."

"Maybe the island is already hot, and everyone can swim in the sea anytime, so they don’t care much about the hot spring." Bai Ruozhu speculated.

While saying this, she thought of the hot spring in her space. At that time, she had brought some hot spring water into it, and only then did the space have a hot spring. If she brought some in now, would the space’s hot spring become bigger? Could the space upgrade again?

Thinking of this, she got excited. The hot spring pool here was large, and there were several spring eyes, so taking some spring water wouldn’t be too noticeable.

She secretly reached into the hot spring, mentally connected to the hot spring in the space, and drew the water in.

But soon her expression became strange. Jiang Yichun saw her squatting still and asked worriedly, "What’s wrong? Is something not right?"

Bai Ruozhu looked up, her expression seemed on the verge of crying, "It’s not that something’s wrong, it’s just that I might have caused trouble."

"What’s the matter?" Jiang Yichun hurriedly squatted beside her, instinctively trying to pull her hand out of the hot spring, but he felt a strong suction, he couldn’t pull it out!

Bai Ruozhu felt like crying but had no tears, and whispered, "I wanted to bring some hot spring water into my hot spring pool, but now it won’t stop at all, the water is rushing in, will it drain this place dry?"

Jiang Yichun was dumbfounded hearing this, not knowing what to do. He didn’t dare to use force to pull Bai Ruozhu’s hand, afraid he might hurt her.

In front of them, the water level dropped visibly, and there was less and less water.

"What should we do? It won’t stop!" Bai Ruozhu cried, she didn’t come to the island to steal their things, what does this make her look like?

But the hot spring water seemed to have legs, rushing into her space, she even vaguely heard laughter, it felt like the hot spring was alive and chose Bai Ruozhu’s space as a fengshui treasure land.

She could only try to communicate with the hot spring, "You can’t all come in, how am I going to explain to the people on the island?"

Unfortunately, the hot spring still made joyful water sounds, without responding to her.

Alright, she thought of the hot spring too personified, it probably didn’t have any intelligence yet.

Just like that, the hot spring was drained in an instant, even the spring eyes stopped producing water, seemingly entering the space as well.

Without the hot spring, the heat dissipated, no longer having the misty feel.

Jiang Yichun stared, speechless at all this, then reacted and pulled Bai Ruozhu saying, "Let’s hide first, to avoid trouble."

Bai Ruozhu, with a guilty conscience, grabbed Jiang Yichun and quickly ran away, hiding in the space.

As soon as they entered, they opened the "big screen" to watch the situation outside. Sure enough, before long, the village chief Wa Shu arrived with people.

Even though Wa Shu was old, he was quite nimble, running no slower than young ones.

"Village Chief, how could the Holy Spring dry up? This is a bad omen!" a middle-aged man exclaimed.

Wa Shu looked at the bare pond, the stones at the bottom were still damp, showing the spring dried not long ago, otherwise, they would be dry.

"How could this happen? Quickly check to see if something went wrong at the bottom!" Wa Shu was so anxious that his beard trembled.

Inside the space, Bai Ruozhu felt extremely embarrassed, she looked aside at the hot spring pool, which hadn’t changed, those mischievous spring waters were still unknown, they could drive her crazy.

She wasn’t someone who would claim everything she saw for herself, nor intended to take their hot spring, how did it end up like this?

"There’s no problem at the pool bottom, but the spring eyes stopped producing water, Village Chief, what should we do?" After checking, several young people said.

Wa Shu seemed to age several years in an instant, he shook a bit, almost falling, but thankfully, the quick-eyed middle-aged man supported him.

"Clan Leader, gather your spirits, you have to decide this matter, without the Holy Spring, what will come of our island?" called the middle-aged man.

"It must be the people who arrived on the island today, they’re the ones who brought bad luck, Clan Leader, you shouldn’t have let those outsiders come!" said another middle-aged man with a full beard.

A bright-eyed young man jumped up from the pool bottom and said, "How can this be blamed on the Clan Leader? Our Luili Island has always had this rule, without commercial trade with Danliang, our lives could not have improved as much!"

The full-bearded man grumbled, "I disagreed back then with letting outsiders on the island, if not for Wa Ling insisting on trading with Danliang, how could today’s situation arise?"

Wa Shu suddenly glared and shouted, "Don’t mention Wa Ling, Wa Ling is already dead!"

The usually good-tempered village chief also got angry, instantly everyone quieted down, the scene became eerily silent.

Finally, Wa Shu sat powerlessly on the ground, "Wa Ling wasn’t wrong, it’s all my fault, I didn’t look after this island..."

"Village Chief Grandpa!" a young man feeling of pity tried to support him.

The bearded man also turned his head, "Leave the past, but the disappearance of the Holy Spring is definitely related to today’s visitors, they can’t stay on the island, or we’ll all be in trouble!"

Footsteps sounded from afar, many islanders rushed over upon hearing, seeing the dry hot spring pool, they either exclaimed or burst into tears.

"Oh no, the Holy Spring is gone, who will protect us in the future?"

"What if a plague breaks out?"

"It must be today’s visitors angering the goddess Nüwa, tell them to get out!"

"Right, tell them to get out!"

"..."

The furious islanders shouted, seemingly ready to go where Bai Ruozhu and others were staying to drive them away.
