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

Everyone looked at Yu Ruyue's bulging belly at the same time, and all they could say was that they had miscalculated!

At the same time, more and more people gathered, and the encirclement became smaller and smaller.

Liuguang gritted his teeth and said, "You take your wife and leave first! I'll take care of the aftermath!"

Yu Ruyue asked quietly, "Are you sure you can stop so many of them?"

Liuguang assured, "Madam, please rest assured. Since I have brought you down here, I will definitely ensure your safety and will never let anything happen to you and the young master."

Yu Ruyue looked at the hungry eyes on the opposite side, pulled Liuguang behind her, and said coldly: "What do you want? Are you going to kill us and eat our meat? But there are only a few of us. How are we going to divide it among so many of you?"

"Besides, we are all martial artists, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get here safely. Do you want to use your dozens of lives to exchange for ours?"

"Oh! Then how can you be sure that it's not you who died, and how can you be sure that the meat can really be shared among you?"

The refugees across from them suddenly stopped in their tracks upon hearing this, while the man who had spoken initially sneered, "You're quite sharp-tongued, little girl. We can't guarantee anything, but so what? We're out of food and water, and we're going to die anyway, so why not give it a try?"

Yu Ruyue looked at the refugees and was persuaded again. She asked directly, "Who said there's no water?"

"Don't you have good eyesight and can tell at a glance that we are of extraordinary status?"

"Then I wonder if you have ever heard of a group of sorcerers in the deep mountains who, when they have reached the pinnacle of their cultivation, can communicate with heaven and earth and even move mountains and fill the sea!"

In ancient times, everyone believed in ghosts and gods, and they had great respect for sorcerers. Those who originally wanted to fight to the death all stopped and looked at the people in front of them.

"You say you are warlocks? Why should we believe you? You just say that without any evidence?"

"Brothers, I think this little bitch is afraid of death and is saying this to save her life."

Yu Ruyue had been looking around warily. Now, she fixed her gaze on the leader. Although he was in a very bad state, his muscles were well-proportioned and his eyes were fierce. He didn't look like an ordinary citizen at all. Combined with what he said, Yu Ruyue concluded that there must be something wrong with this man.

Could it be that he is the spy?!

Liuguang and the others also felt that there was something wrong with the person in front of them.

When the man met everyone's gazes, he immediately retreated into the crowd and even pushed two people out to stand in front of him.

"What do you want to do? Are you going to stop people from telling the truth?"

Yu Ruyue sneered, "If I'm wrong, you're the one spreading rumors that there's water in the city! Who sent you here? Why are you stirring up trouble? Do you have to cause a fight between these refugees and the officials outside the city? Do you think you can return and report once both the officials and the refugees are dead?"

The man's eyes instantly darkened. "Bullshit! I think you're in cahoots with those corrupt officials in the city. There's water in the city, but you won't let us in. You think the lives of refugees like us are worthless, right?"

"Brothers, don't listen to her. I promise you there will be water in the city. If there is no water, I will cut off my head and let you kick it like a ball."

Yu Ruyue watched the refugees' eyes flicker. She swore a poisonous oath, "I! I swear on my life! If I don't find water within three days, I will die a miserable death. My face will fester, blood will flow from all seven orifices, and I will never be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation!"

In ancient times, everyone was very superstitious, but there were also one or two exceptions. Perhaps these people were the first to make such a vicious oath.

Finally, the refugee next to him said, "Why should we trust you? What if you leave us alone in the city?"

Yu Ruyue smiled at him gently, then lifted up her sleeves to reveal the crossbow inside. Seeing her action, the people behind her also took out their weapons.

Yu Ruyue pointed at the crossbow on her sleeve and said, "If you don't believe me and want to try your luck and kill me, then I don't mind. I will use this poisoned arrow to teach you how to behave."

"But if you trust me, there is a chance."

"Whether you want to die now or live forever, the choice is in your hands."

The refugees looked at Yu Ruyue and the others, who were originally very weak, and suddenly took out sophisticated weapons and made fighting postures, as if they were ready to fight to the death. They were so scared that they quickly took a step back.

After all, in order to survive to this day, they not only ate human flesh and drank human blood, but some even killed their own parents, wives and daughters with their own hands. They did not want to lose their lives just to fight for these few bites of meat in front of them.

"Okay! We believe you. If you want to enter the city, it will be difficult. The officials at the city gate will not let you in."

Yu Ruyue smiled and soothed them, "Don't worry, we've never been at odds with the city officials. There's actually no water left in the city. They invited us here to save everyone."

To be honest, these people still don't believe that there is no water in the city. After all, the person who spoke before swore that he had sneaked into the city before and clearly saw that there was water in the city. Not only was there water, but even those corrupt officials drank a bowl and threw away a bowl!

They thought so and naturally said so. When Yu Ruyue heard this, she found it extremely ridiculous.

"Fellow villagers, you've been exploited by someone with ulterior motives. You've all fled the famine and must have seen it all. Not only are the wells dry, but even the rivers have dried up. Furthermore, you're only separated from the city by a wall. Is it possible that the ground outside is parched and cracked while it's springtime inside all year round? How is that possible? Doesn't the sun shine on us and not them?"

"Besides, anyone with a little life experience should know that there's only so much groundwater. If you dry up here, they can't just drink up a bowl and throw away another."

When those people heard such a straightforward explanation, they immediately turned their attention to the person who had previously sworn that there was water in the city.

But the man continued to shout, "There really is water in the city. I saw it with my own eyes. Don't believe them. They are obviously in cahoots with the rebels."

"Everyone, hurry up and kill them. If they don't die, we will be the ones to die."

"And brothers, open your eyes and look. This woman has big, beautiful eyes, and she's deliberately covering her face with mud. She must be very beautiful. Don't you brothers want to have some fun before you die?"
