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

There were several people following her, but they were all one step behind her, which made everyone unconsciously focus all their attention on her.

There were a few men who didn't take it seriously and were whispering to each other, but when Yu Ruyue's clear and bright eyes looked at them, they immediately shut up.

Yu Ruyue walked out of the tall courtyard gate without saying a word and walked outside step by step. The people who were originally full of doubts made way for her, and even Qin Wanru and others unconsciously shut their mouths.

Everyone watched her move forward until she reached the high city wall and stopped.

Then, amidst the puzzled and pleading eyes of all the people inside and outside the city, a disc-shaped object suddenly appeared out of thin air in the palm of her hand!

There were brave people in front who stretched their necks to look and found that there seemed to be a pointer on the disc, and the pointer was moving as Yu Ruyue's hand turned.

Only after Yu Ruyue turned the pointer in her hand and it pointed in one direction did she walk down from the city wall!

Shen Zhiheng cooperated very well and had the city gates opened, but he still did not let the people in the city go out.

The people stood at the gate, constantly looking out, and refused to leave even after the city gate was closed...

The people outside the city spontaneously formed a circle and followed closely behind Yu Ruyue and the others.

In this way, everyone kept walking, walking forward silently under the scorching sun.

I silently prayed for a miracle to happen in my heart!

Although Yu Ruyue knew the location and direction of the underground river, it was her first time walking in that direction from the city. In addition, she encountered two cliffs along the way and had to take a detour, so she wasted some time.

She finally understood why the river had never been discovered by anyone. It was so long and winding, especially the two cliffs, which were extremely confusing.

Fortunately, she had a compass in her hand, otherwise, she would have been completely confused.

However, the way Yu Ruyue searched with the compass seemed to the people like she was receiving guidance from heaven.

Even those officials who were looking for trouble were fooled by the exquisitely crafted compass in Yu Ruyue's hand.

Finally, at 12 noon, when the sun was at its hottest, Yu Ruyue found the mark she had made earlier.

Yu Ruyue did not continue to move forward, but pointed in this direction and said: "The will of God is here!"

"Dig a well!"

Instead of taking the men directly to the stream, she had them dig a well below.

Although the stream above was still some distance away from where Yu Ruyue and the others were, and there were even two confusing cliffs, Yu Ruyue had to ensure the safety of her family, so she checked countless pieces of information, and with Jingyue's repeated explorations, she finally decided on this place.

Wait until Shen Zhiheng orders people to start digging a well.

Six people immediately walked out from the crowd. These six people were all good at digging wells. They carried many tools behind them and even lifted several large objects.

One of them looked up at the direction of the nearby mountain and muttered, "Mountain tip facing mountain tip, there's good water under the tip, two mountains sandwiched between a lonely mountain, the water never dries up... When the two mountains meet, there's a spring flowing below, the floodplain is full of pebbles, and there's a hidden river underground!"

"Here! Maybe there really is water!?"

Yu Ruyue stepped forward curiously to ask, "What are you all talking about?"

The man immediately replied, "This is a jingle that has been passed down from generation to generation by us well diggers. By following the direction of the mountain, we can tell whether there is a spring or a hidden river underground. But with the severe drought now, these jingles are probably no longer accurate!"

When the man said this, he sighed deeply.

Yu Ruyue smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry! With your jingle and the guidance from heaven, it will definitely work this time. Everyone, work hard!"

The man seemed to be inspired and quickly assembled the tools for digging a well. Yu Ruyue looked at the well-made tools in front of her and couldn't help but sigh that the wisdom of the ancients was really amazing!

As expected, our ancestors had mastered the principle of leverage. Furthermore, this thing before us was very similar to modern mechanized well-drilling methods, so it must be their predecessor...

Yu Ruyue asked again and found out that this method is commonly known as the pot-cone well-drilling method.

She looked at these people who were constantly hitting the ground with drills, and then manually cleaning up the overflowing mud bit by bit. They repeated this process over and over again, and after about an hour, they stopped.

"General! We've been working on this for an hour, and the soil underneath is still dry. The depth has reached six feet. Do you want to ask the warlock if we can move to another location? I'm afraid continuing would be a waste of time."

Yu Ruyue didn't expect that the soil that had been dug out for such a long time was still dry. Could it be that her inference was wrong?

But she wasn't panicking at all. She knew the source of the water anyway. No matter what happened today, she had to complete the mission. Furthermore, the more difficult the process, the more these people would cherish the hard-earned well water, and the better she would achieve her goal...

Before she could even ask to change the location, Shen Zhiheng said directly: "Keep fighting! If there's not enough water at six feet, then fight at ten feet! This general believes there is definitely water here!"

The well diggers were just following orders, so they had no choice but to continue digging. However, the deeper they went, the harder it became. They even had to lower people down to clean the sand and gravel below bit by bit.

Just like that, another half an hour passed, and there was still no water below.

Everyone watched as the sun set from overhead to the west, and the hope in their eyes slowly turned to loss.

The crowd even rioted a bit.

"I just feel like it's fake. How could someone be so powerful as to conjure water out of thin air? If she really has such a power, why doesn't she go to the Qingtianjian!?"

"This woman must be talking nonsense to save her own life."

"What should we do? If there's no water, we'll all die."

The officials behind Shen Zhiheng also instantly felt that an opportunity had come to find fault.

"General Shen, have you been deceived by her? You can't just believe what she says just because she's pretty."

"We've sent so many people out to look for water and haven't found any yet. How could this woman find it so quickly?"

"General Shen, I think you've really lost yourself in the battle. But it's already good enough to keep a mere woman in the backyard and give her some favors. Why let her cause trouble this time?"
