The younger sister-in-law falsely accused the sickly uncle and ran away with the baby

The rest of the people were all Yu Ruyue's die-hard fans. They were convinced by her and believed whatever she said.

After about an incense stick of time, people came back one after another.

Doctor Xiao Shen, carrying a backpack, ran to Yu Ruyue in a flash, his face flushed with excitement.

"Miss Ruyue! This place is simply wonderful. There are not only many edible wild vegetables nearby, but also many medicinal herbs."

"Wait until I dry these herbs, then I can make you better medicine."

Yu Ruyue thought of the bitter medicine soup she had drunk along the way and just wanted to say that it was unnecessary.

But before he could say anything, Shen Yuyan carried his backpack and went to show off to his father.

Yu Tian and Yu Shi also ran back closely behind.

Each of them was holding two hares and a pheasant in their hands, and they were smiling from ear to ear.

"Sister, look what we caught?"

"The chickens and rabbits here are so stupid. I don't know if it's because no one comes here and they have no sense of vigilance at all."

"We just used slingshots and knocked them out."

Yu Ruyue didn't expect that the resources in the deep mountains were so good!

However, these days, not only people lack water to drink, but animals also lack water. There is such a big lake here. With the developed sense of smell of those small animals, they should find this place soon. Maybe this is where they often come to drink water, so my brother can hunt wild game so easily.

It seems that we must hurry up and dig a deep trench around the cave and lake with them as the center.

Yu Ruyue casually picked up a wooden stick, and then walked around the woods and drew a circle.

Afterwards, she called someone over and said, "Dig a deep trench along the circle I drew."

"Idle women would sharpen the ends of the branches and logs cut by the men into sharp spikes."

"Then we'll plant them around the forest, and then use wood to make a circle of chevaux de frise. Even if there are large wild animals, they won't be able to break through in a short time."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Then go back to the cave to get the farm tools and get ready to start.

Yu Ruyue took out the engineer shovel she had bought from the cave while they were not paying attention.

"Brother, Brother, I bought this by chance in the city. It's foldable and very convenient. It can be used not only as a shovel, but also as a spade, a knife, and a saw!"

Yu Tian and Yu Shi have long been accustomed to their sister making some strange things from time to time, such as the crossbow before and the engineer shovel now.

It would be a lie to say they weren't curious, but they were too embarrassed to ask. After all, their sister had been bullied at home, and after being sold, she had to bear everything alone in the Shen family. The hardships she had gone through were beyond their imagination, and having some adventures was what their sister deserved.

They were afraid that if they asked too much, they would find out about their sister's pain...

Moreover, they all knew that whatever their sister did was for their own good.

So, the two of them ran out of the cave happily with the engineering shovels in their hands. They looked at it again and again under the sun, their eyes shining brightly.

"Yu Shi! Yu Tian! What is this green thing we are holding in our hands? Why is it so special?"

Shen Ruichen's exclamation successfully attracted the attention of the people around him.

Several young men of similar age surrounded the two of them, looking and touching them.

All very novel.

Qin Haowen, who had just returned, was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. "What is this thing called?"

Yu Ruyue heard the noise outside and came out. "This thing is called an engineer shovel."

Qin Haowen muttered, "An engineer shovel? What a great name! This is incredible! If the army used this, it would save a lot of effort in battle, and perhaps even prevent the deaths of a few soldiers..."

Yu Ruyue thought to herself, as someone well-read in military books, she could actually see the use of this thing at a glance.

"It does save a lot of effort, but it's a bit difficult to make and requires a lot of iron. With current technology, I'm afraid it can't be used on a large scale."

Qin Haowen touched it again and again lovingly, his eyes sparkling. "Indeed, it's such a pity. The army really needs this thing. It's easy to carry and has many uses..."

Yu Ruyue smiled and patted his shoulder. "What's the big deal? As long as we can use it, it's fine. Stop crowding around and start digging a ditch. Don't let any wild animals come to drink the water and eat us all along the way."

When everyone heard this, they dispersed and quickly picked up the tools in their hands to start digging the ditch.

Yu Dehou found his daughter and said with a smile, "My dear, we really ran into the deep mountains and old forests this time. When we went back to erase our traces, we almost got lost. I don't know how we got here. Moreover, there were cliffs in many places nearby. We were lucky to have stumbled into this paradise."

"That's right! Qin Haowen is really smart. Not only did he erase the original traces, he also found another way. Even if someone followed us in, they would just think we just circled the woods and continued on our way."

Yu Ruyue looked at Qin Haowen, who was shirtless, revealing his muscular chest, and sighed, "He is indeed amazing. It's a pity that he has to live in the mountains with us."

Yu Dehou also nodded. "Although the child doesn't like to talk much, he is very thoughtful. If he hadn't been with us on this journey, we don't know what would have happened! If he went out now and joined a random team, he should be able to become a general..."

The more Yu Ruyue interacted with Qin Haowen, the more she felt that his previous identity was extraordinary. He kept talking about the army in his heart and mouth, and even used military tactics when building a house. It seemed that someone like him should not be buried like this...

After everyone had dug a small ditch according to the circle drawn on the ground, it was completely dark. Everyone hurried back to the cave and had a meal of braised rabbit meat while there was still some light. Everyone was so full that they held their stomachs and lay on the ground, quietly watching the sun set completely. When the moon came up, the sky was full of stars.

"Hey! It's been a long time since I felt so at ease."

"Yeah! We're so nervous out there every day, either on the road or on the way. I can't even remember when was the last time I looked at the stars."

No one expected that they were fighting with others in the morning, but in the afternoon they found such a paradise and lived such a peaceful life.

"Alright! The inside is almost finished. Even though we put a layer of straw on it, it's still a little damp."

Yu Ruyue sat up and walked to the place where things were stored in the cave again. She rummaged around inside and took out four huge pieces of oilcloth.

"Put this oilcloth on the straw, and then put the bedding on top, and it won't get damp."

"By the way! We still need to arrange for someone to keep watch at night."

"It just so happens that I don't have much help during the day, so I'll just watch over the night. Qin Haowen, how about you join me?"

Qin Haowen was a little surprised and nodded quickly.

Shen Ruichen raised his hand, "Then my cousin and I will keep watch for the rest of the night."

Everyone had no objection, so the person who would keep watch was decided.

After the people inside had made their beds and lay down, Qin Haowen quietly took out another quilt and spread it thickly outside. "Miss Ruyue, you can lie down. I can do it by myself. But, do you have anything to say to me?"
