After discussion, the Yu family finally decided to build a brick kiln on the mountain. After all, a wooden house is not as good as a brick house!

Just as the Yu family members were imagining how to make money after the disaster, Shen Zhiheng and Qin Haowen had already reached the city gate.

They saw a group of ferocious refugees, holding sticks and long swords in their hands, fighting with the guards at the city gate.

"These damn officials just want to make us die of thirst outside."

"Brothers, kill them. There must be water inside. I don't believe there is only one well outside the city."

The guards at the city gate were resisting with great difficulty. In fact, they had not had any water for a long time. They were so thirsty that they felt dizzy and couldn't even eat dry rice.

The reason why these refugees outside are so full of energy now is that they cut the throats of their wives and daughters with their own hands, clinging to their necks like wild beasts, swallowing blood in big gulps!

There were those who still had a little conscience. They were very unwilling at first, but after drinking the blood, the long-lost wet feeling made them completely abandon the last bit of guilt in their hearts. They held down the woman who was struggling in pain under them and drank the blood in big gulps!

After draining the child's blood, they roasted him over the fire and ate him bite by bite. After eating, they pretended to hug the pile of bones and cried non-stop, and finally transferred all their anger to the officials.

Shen Zhiheng looked at the pile of skeletons scattered across the dry land. The few living women took a knife and cut their own flesh to feed the child in her arms...

Shen Zhiheng sighed, unable to bear watching any further, and quickly asked the guards behind him to join the battle.

He took the crossbow given by Yu Ruyue and assisted from behind!

Qin Haowen looked at the scene in front of him, which was completely different from the scene on the mountain, and felt sad...

It took about an hour for Shen Zhiheng to completely resolve the riot.

As a result, as soon as he entered the city, he saw the residents in the city who were also depressed and irritable.

"Water~"

"I want water!"

As soon as people heard a noise on the street, they ran out of their houses and looked for water everywhere like zombies.

When Shen Zhiheng finally returned to the government office after much difficulty, the daughter of the former prefect and the officials were already waiting at the door.

As soon as they saw Shen Zhiheng, they gathered around him and started talking about water.

"General! The wells in the city are almost dry, and the whole city is in a panic. If we can't get water, I'm afraid the people inside and outside the city will riot!"

The prefect's daughter stared at the water bag on Shen Zhiheng's waist.

She thought about licking her chapped lips and pounced on it to grab it.

Shen Zhiheng frowned and pushed the man aside. Liuguang and Anying quickly drew their swords and protected their general on both sides.

The woman immediately sat on the ground, howling hoarsely, "I want water. There's clearly water in your water bag, why don't you give it to me? I want it now! I command you to give me the water."

The others also noticed the water bag, "General, did you find the water somewhere?"

"Yes! I see that the general and the people around you all have rosy and shiny lips. They don't look like they are dehydrated. Do you know where to find water? You just don't want to tell us."

"General, this is a matter of life and death. Since you have occupied this place, you should be responsible for the people here."

The people below were talking at the same time, all convinced that Shen Zhiheng had found the water source, and were forcing him in various ways...

Yu Ruyue, on the other hand, lived a very carefree and happy life.

Although Qin Haowen's mount left, she promoted Jingyue and Mohuan, two people with excellent lightness skills, to take her flying everywhere.

To be honest, if she was not too old to learn light kung fu, she really wanted to learn the skill of flying.

Suddenly, she saw something white and fluffy growing on the tree on the left.

She immediately patted Jingyue on the back and said, "The third tree in front of the left, jump on it."

Jingyue immediately jumped over obediently. When Yu Ruyue reached out and pulled the white fluffy thing off, she held it in her palm and examined it carefully. She said happily, "It really is Hericium erinaceus!" "Great! I can make soup or scrambled eggs with it. It's very delicious and very good for the stomach."

"Jingyue! Mohuan! Put me in front next to Shen Jiaojiao and the others, and go find more!"

Jingyue and Mohuan obeyed the order and quickly sent the person to Shen Jiaojiao and the others. Then they quickly used their lightness skills to disappear into the woods.

Shen Jiaojiao looked at the thing in Yu Ruyue's hand with great curiosity. "What is this? Why does it look furry?"

Yu Ruyue explained with a smile, "This thing is called Hericium erinaceus, and it tastes really delicious!"

Shen Yuyan hurried forward and looked at the Hericium erinaceus in surprise: "This is Hericium erinaceus!? It's good for the five internal organs, aids digestion, and regulates physical weakness!"

"This thing usually grows on trees, and a small number grow on rotten wood. Did you get it from a tree?"

Yu Ruyue smiled and nodded, "It's Doctor Shen, he's really amazing."

Shen Yuyan felt a little shy when being praised. At this time, Yu Tian came running over with a backpack on his back, smiling.

"Look! I found hickory nuts and chestnuts."

Yu Ruyue hurried over and saw that the basket was full of hickory nuts and chestnuts.

The first time she saw chestnuts fresh from the tree, she finally understood why the ancients called them "hairy chestnuts." Raw chestnuts are covered in a green, fuzzy shell. Peel that shell off and you'll see the brown chestnuts inside. "Where's the tree? Let's get some! Sugar-roasted hairy chestnuts are the best!"

Shen Jiaojiao was puzzled. "Chestnuts can be fried. I thought that besides being made into pastries, the only way to eat them was by boiling them."

Yu Ruyue smiled and winked at her. "If you want to try roasted chestnuts, go get some more. Oh, He Ye and the others are very experienced in making pastries. When the time comes, have them make chestnut cakes and walnut crisps. I think they will be delicious too."

Shen Jiaojiao is always very enthusiastic about eating. She immediately pulled Yu Tian and ran forward.

"Let's go! Let's get some more. Listening to what Ruyue said, I'm getting a little greedy."

Several people immediately walked towards the chestnut tree.

The chestnuts on the tree were all furry. If Yu Ruyue saw a chestnut tree in the wild, she probably wouldn't recognize it. Yu Shi was holding a long wooden stick and was trying hard to knock on the branches of the walnut tree! A layer of chestnuts had already fallen under the chestnut tree next to the pecan tree!

"When you guys come, go pick it up on the other side. I've almost finished playing over there."

Yu Ruyue and a few others immediately walked to the tree and started picking chestnuts.

Soon they had a full basket. But since Yu Ruyue was pregnant, she didn't need to carry the basket.

In fact, when everyone was preparing to come to the mountains to look for food, no one planned to let her come, but she really couldn't stay at home. Most importantly, she especially liked the joy of harvest!

Look at this big backpack being filled up slowly, it’s such a happy feeling!

"Miss!"

"Miss!"

"Look at our harvest."
