Qin Wanru, who had just returned from delivering water, saw the scene and hurried over, asking with concern, "What are you all doing here? That bucket of water is almost full, Ruyue! Hurry and have someone take it back."

Seeing Qin Wanrou's extraordinary demeanor and the expensive-looking clothes she wore, Liu Miao immediately stepped forward and saluted. "I guess you made these wooden barrels, right? If possible, could you help us filter a few buckets of water? Look, there are a group of elderly, weak, women, and children behind us. If we don't drink water now, I'm afraid we'll die..."

After she finished speaking, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looking pitiful.

Qin Wanrou was a little confused by her. "This thing was made by Ruyue. If you want to know, you have to ask her..."

Liu Miao paused as she wiped her tears, her entire body stiffening...

Liu's mother was even more incredulous. "She!? She's just a peasant who only knows how to seduce men. How could she possibly come up with something like this?"

Qin Wanrou's face instantly turned cold. "Can you speak, old woman? Are you looking for a fight?"

"Rugetsu! Can you resist slapping her?!"

Yu Ruyue said calmly, "I've already slapped him. Don't worry! I didn't suffer any loss!"

Qin Wanrou was still furious. "Where did this old woman come from? Is she mentally ill?"

"Go, go, go! Don't communicate with these mentally ill people."

Yu Ruyue looked at the people opposite her sarcastically and nodded in agreement. "Alright! Let's not argue with fools. Let's go!"

"Big brother! Second brother! Watch out! If they dare to come any closer, beat them up!"

Qin Wanrou added, "From the Li Mansion! If these people speak nonsense, beat them up too!"

Yu Ruyue thought for a moment and said, "Fight with confidence! Whoever can cripple or kill them can come to me to claim their reward. Each person can exchange it for ten kilograms of brown rice!"

Now, everyone was eager to try, and their eyes changed from anger to sparkling.

"Oh my god, this is ten kilograms of brown rice."

"Come on! Keep cursing! Weren't you cursing happily just now? Come and fight! Don't worry, we won't kill you!"

"Or do any of you want some rice? Come over here and let me cripple you, and I'll give you two pounds."

The eyes of these people were like hungry wolves, which scared Liu Miao and others so much that they retreated, fearing that they would be beaten if they were not careful.

Liu Miao looked at Yu Shi with a pleading look on her face, "Brother Shi! You can't do this. Hitting people is against the law. We have a lot of people behind us!"

Yu Shi didn't even look at her, turned around and walked to the wooden barrel to look at it.

Yu Ruyue added fuel to the fire, "Oh right! Fellow villagers of Liujia Village, if you had come to me and spoken nicely in the beginning, I would have definitely helped you make a wooden barrel. After all, I'm not a malicious person. We all come from the same county. But your village chief and his family are really too much. Not only did they choose to break off the engagement when my family was in trouble, they even cursed me to my face. They looked like they wanted me dead. It was really scary."

"So, in order for me to live well, I have to trouble you guys."

Liu Miao felt the tangible resentment behind her and quickly explained, "Don't listen to her, she's deliberately trying to sow discord. Don't worry, I'll make the barrel!"

Yu Ruyue just gave her a playful look and turned away.

When Liu Miao approached it, he saw a layer of stones on it, so he followed suit and laid a layer of stones inside the wooden barrel, trying to replicate it.

As a result, after going back and trying for a long time, there was no effect at all, which made the people in Liujia Village resentful towards Village Chief Liu and his companions.

"Liu Miao! Didn't you say you could do it? Why is it different from what they left behind?"

"Yes! Village chief! Why are you still scolding her in front of her?"

"Yes! If it weren't for you, we would have been able to drink clean water long ago."

Liujia Village was in great chaos. Liu Miao was so angry at the insults that he stood up suddenly.

"Shut up!"

"Don't you just want clean water?"

"Their barrels are full of clean water, go grab them!"

"You're a bunch of wimps. How can I show off in front of my family? What kind of ability do I have?"

"How many of them are there? How many of us are there?"

"Don't you have any knives?"

Village Chief Liu also thought what my daughter said made perfect sense, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's go! We're going to die anyway, so we might as well give it a try!"

The villagers of Liujia Village were immediately outraged. They were so thirsty that they were almost unconscious. Now they just wanted to drink water!

So everyone picked up their weapons and headed outside.

On the other side, Yu Ruyue, Qin Wanrou and others just arrived at the camp and saw the villagers crying.

Yu Ruyue immediately ran to her father and checked him from head to toe to make sure he was not injured. She then looked at Qin Haowen and the others standing beside him.

"As long as you're not hurt, how's it going? Did you find the kids?"

Yu Dehou pursed his lips and said nothing...

Qin Haowen's face was also filled with sorrow...

"Why aren't you talking? Is something wrong?"

Liang Shulan choked up and said, "Little sapling, it's the little sapling that hasn't been found..."

Yu Ruyue's face was filled with shock, and her eyes instantly turned red. "Who!? Little Sapling?"

She turned her head and looked towards the Shu family, only to see Shu Dachao hugging his wife and mother who had cried to the point of collapse, tears streaming down his face.

"Sapling!? Where on earth have you been?"

"Sapling! Come back soon! If you really want to leave, take me with you!!"

The heart-wrenching cries of the Shu family made Yu Ruyue unable to hold back her tears.

That was the child I rescued with my own hands, how could he be missing?

Qin Haowen stepped forward, supported the limp Yu Ruyue, and comforted her, "Maybe she's not dead, she must have gotten lost. I'll take someone to check around later. Don't be too sad, you weren't in good health to begin with."

Liang Shulan also agreed, "Maybe the child just got lost."

Yu Ruyue held Qin Haowen's arm tightly and nodded vigorously, "You're right, maybe that kid just got lost because he was having fun."

"Take people to search the surrounding mountains."

"Oh, Sister Wanrou and the others found a small puddle over there. Bring some people with you, armed with crossbows, and go watch over there. I'm afraid someone will come and rob us."

"Also, tell them that they must boil the water after making it to avoid getting sick. I..."

Qin Haowen stretched out his hand and pressed directly on Yu Ruyue's sleepiness point. Before Yu Ruyue could finish her words, she tilted her head and fell asleep.

He looked at the person leaning on his arms with distress, "Uncle, Aunt! Miss Ruyue is so sad. I pressed the sleeping point, let her rest for a while."

After he said that, he picked up the person and placed him carefully in the carriage.

After settling Yu Ruyue down, everyone immediately split into two groups, one to look for saplings and the other to protect the water bucket, and they saw a fight breaking out by the puddle.

During this time, a woman approached the wooden barrel stealthily and reached out to push it.
