Traveling back to ancient times begins with the use of stone tools

The people in the valley really stayed at home all winter.

Except Leng Ruoxue.

Leng Ruoxue was very depressed. If she wasn't afraid that the well in the space would dry up, she really didn't want to farm.

Fortunately, by the time she finished planting the land in the space, the well began to have water again.

After the New Year, Grandpa Wang led everyone to start reclaiming wasteland. With water and land, they tried to grow more crops so that even if there was still drought, people in the valley could survive.

That day, everyone was weeding in the fields when suddenly the sky became overcast.

After a while, it started to rain.

Grandpa Wang knelt down and cried, "Finally the water is coming! Finally the water is coming!"

Leng Ruoxue became nervous.

He ran into the cave and saw the water gradually rising. He hurried back and said, "Grandpa, uncle, mom, pack up quickly. We can't stay in the valley anymore!"

Everyone who was rejoicing at the rain was stunned.

"Hurry up and pack up, we have to get out of the valley now. If it's too late, the cave will be flooded and we won't be able to get out. The valley may also be flooded!"

Everyone finally reacted and went back to the cave to pack up their things.

Important items such as food, cattle, clothes, pots, and tools need to be transported out of the valley first.

"Just one trip, take as much as you can out first"

Leng Ruoxue arranged for everyone to take their things and go out first.

"The rest depends on the situation. If there is still time, come back and get it."

The crowd brought their stuff and drove the oxen to the cave exit. "Don't go out yet, Uncle Liu. Go harness the ox cart. I'll go back and get the straw mat. The food can't get wet in the rain. Once we get the stuff out, Uncle Liu, you drive the ox cart to Grandpa Wang's house first."

Only after Leng Ruoxue brought the straw mat did everyone leave the cave.

"Ruoxue, come with us!"

Liu Ruxu didn't want Leng Ruoxue to stay alone.

"Mom, don't worry. I'll go back and see if I can get anything out. The water in the cave isn't too high right now, but it may be higher in a while. If the water gets higher, I won't go back."

"It doesn't necessarily mean the water level will remain high. It depends on how long it rains."

Seeing Liu Ruxu's worried look, Leng Ruoxue comforted her.

"Okay, be careful. If you can't make it, come out first. I'll pick you up after you put these things away."

Liu Datong took a straw mat and covered himself with food, clothes and bedding and rushed to Grandpa Wang's house.

"The mountain road is not easy to walk on. Slow down and be careful!"

Leng Ruoxue warned them worriedly.

"You should be careful too!"

Leng Ruoxue hurried back to the valley. The water level in the cave had risen a little.

He put everything that could be put into the space, making sure nothing was left out, and then came out of the valley.

When Liu Datong came back, the rain was getting heavier.

Leng Ruoxue was seen standing outside, surrounded by a pile of wooden barrels and basins, dried meat, pumpkin, winter melon, and radish.

"How did you take out so many things yourself?"

Liu Datong couldn't believe it.

"I'm short, so I put these in a wooden basin and pulled them over the water."

Leng Ruoxue looked puzzled.

Liu Datong thought about it and realized that children indeed walked faster than adults, so it was possible to pull them over from the water in a wooden basin.

He hurriedly loaded the things onto the ox cart and took Leng Ruoxue back to the village.

When they were almost at Grandpa Wang's house, Leng Ruoxue quietly put some of the things in the space onto the ox cart.

"Luckily, fortunately, I was able to bring back so much food that I stored."

Grandma Jiang helped to pack up and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ruoxue, Datong, the hot water is ready, you two should take a shower and change into dry clothes first."

The people who came out of the valley first had already done a simple scrubbing and cleaned the room.

"Uncle, aunt, I won't wash yet. I'll go to the valley and get some buckets of clean water."

Liu Datong picked up the bucket he had just brought back and went back.

Only then did Leng Ruoxue notice that the water in the pot was a little turbid.

It should be rainwater.

Fortunately, when we were selling water, we had a lot of buckets.

After Leng Ruoxue finished washing, changed into clean clothes, and dried her hair in the kitchen, Liu Datong drove the ox cart back.

Brought back 10 buckets of water.

Since there was no room in the kitchen, it was placed in an empty room.

By the time everyone finished their work and had something to eat, it was dark.

Liu Datong fell asleep in the room and had no intention of returning home at all.

Grandpa Wang went from being overjoyed when it started to rain to moving in a hurry, and now he is starting to worry about whether the valley will be flooded.

I didn't sleep well that night.

The heavy rain lasted for three days before it stopped.

The rivers and wells in the village began to have water.

"It's flooded, it's all flooded"

Liu Datong, who went out to check the situation, came back in a daze.

He looked down the valley from where he had lowered the log.

"Master, although the valley is flooded, the land in the village can be planted!"

Leng Ruoxue interrupted everyone's sadness.

"The temperature in the valley is higher than outside, so we planted the land in advance. It is not too late to start planting the land in the village now."

Leng Ruoxue's words cheered up the depressed Grandpa Wang. Yes, it’s time to start planting the land at home.

Liu Ruxu gave Leng Ruoxue a melancholy look.

They are now staying at Grandpa Wang's house. When the villagers fled famine, they didn't think about the problem of housing.

Later, they discovered the valley and found a place to live.

Now that the valley is flooded, what should the three of them do?

"Mom, don't worry too much. After we help Grandpa Wang to farm the land, we can go back to our grandfather's house to farm the land as well!"

Leng Ruoxue thought about it and this was the only solution at the moment.

"I estimate that it won't be long before the villagers will come back one after another. Yuxuan and I are from the Leng family. Although you are the former daughter-in-law of the Leng family, you are also a daughter of the Leng family, right?"

Liu Ruxu thought about it and agreed.

"Even if it's inconvenient for Grandpa's family to take us in, we can still open up wasteland and grow crops and dig wild vegetables in Lengjia Village. You see, when we first left the Wang family, we had nothing, but now we are living well. Let's do this for now, and don't worry too much."

"Once we have finished planting our land, the three of us will divide the crops in the valley, and then we can each live our own life."

As soon as Leng Ruoxue finished speaking, Grandpa Wang and Liu Datong waved their hands.

"Everything in the valley was discovered by you two, so they should all be given to you."

"That's right, you three have nothing, so you'll feel better if you take these things."

"That's not true. If Uncle Liu hadn't brought us rice and meat, and if Grandpa Wang hadn't lent us a place to live, and if we hadn't grown crops and sold vegetables and water together, we wouldn't have been able to save all these things."

"And in the valley, all the heavy work was done by Grandpa Wang, Uncle Liu and my mother together!"

Leng Ruoxue was very grateful to Grandpa Wang's family and Liu Datong, and what she said was true.

"That's right, we're taking advantage of you by dividing it this way!"

Liu Ruxu also agreed with this division.

"Okay, let's not talk about how to divide it. Let's plant the land of the two families first, and then we can talk about it after we're done. Datong, don't go back to live there. The two families still need your help with the land. There are only a few of us in the village now, so it's safer to live together."

Grandpa Wang also recovered.

"Okay, let's plant the land first."

Liu Datong also agreed.
