In his previous life, Lu Yinheng and his family were unable to settle down in such a good village as Shuanghe Village.

He was able to discover this cave because of the war that followed.

At that time, the Great Zhou had finally driven out the Northern Qi, but then internal strife broke out, with three kings vying for the throne...

Thinking of the devastation and ruin of his previous life, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

If possible, I hope he can use his advantage of being reborn to change the tragic situation of his previous life and allow the people to live in peace and prosperity...

Ji Yunshuang didn't think much of it.

Although she had been into the mountains many times, this cave was indeed difficult to spot because it was hidden by vines.

Her attention was drawn to the sinkhole-like area.

Surrounded by cliffs on all sides, there's no need to worry about wild animal attacks. Moreover, its secluded location makes it a natural refuge.

That way, while rescuing these girls, she could also leave her family with an alternative escape route. After thinking for a moment, she told Lu Yinheng what she was thinking.

Lu Yinheng actually had the same thought in his heart.

Although he has past life experiences and knows the time and place of many important events, he is dedicated to changing the tragedy.

But having an extra backup plan is like having an extra layer of insurance.

The two, who rarely shared the same idea, began to discuss their thoughts.

Ji Yunshuang felt that, in addition to these girls, it would be best to have a few trustworthy people living with them inside.

At that time, the land in the mountains can be cultivated.

Besides the land, there are also some clandestine studies that can be conducted in the mountains.

The more Lu Yinheng listened, the more he felt... that her actions seemed a bit like a plot to rebel.

He hurriedly asked, "What do you want to secretly research in the mountains with your people?"

Having been in this world for so long, Ji Yunshuang has a fairly good understanding of this dynasty.

I know this is a completely cold weapon era.

Not only in the era of cold weapons, but also in some of the more advanced cold weapons used in ancient my country, this era did not have them.

If gunpowder were to be used at this moment, wouldn't that be a royal flush?

She scrutinized Lu Yinheng for a moment and thought that although he liked to wear a cold expression, his character was still acceptable.

Besides, the two of them were now in the same boat, so there was no harm in telling him. So he told him about his plan to secretly develop gunpowder with a group of people.

In his previous life, Lu Yinheng never heard of anything related to gunpowder until his death.

At this moment, he was absolutely certain that the woman in front of him was not his wife from his previous life.

His heart pounded uncontrollably, but his expression remained as cold as ever. "What is gunpowder?"

"It's a weapon I've read about in a book, one that can explode and has tremendous power."

Ji Yunshuang said, "However, I have only seen it in books and have never seen anyone make it. If I rashly present it to the court, I am afraid that I will fail to make it in the end and end up being accused of deceiving the emperor. So I want to try to develop it myself with my own people."

Lu Yinheng didn't believe there really was a book, but since she was using a book as an excuse, she didn't intend to tell him her true identity or the source of the gunpowder.

He wisely refrained from asking further questions.

He simply asked Ji Yunshuang if there was anything he could help with, and if so, he could.

Ji Yunshuang shook her head, "You're enlisting in a few days, so you should focus on your own things! I've only read a few lines in a book and have this idea, but I don't know if I can actually pull it off!"

Lu Yinheng nodded, letting Ji Yunshuang do as she pleased, while he went to tidy up the cave.

Ji Yunshuang was very curious about the land that resembled a sinkhole. She observed the vegetation and found that it was very diverse, including several kinds of Chinese medicinal herbs that she had not collected before.

While Lu Yinheng was busy in the cave and didn't notice her, Ji Yunshuang secretly used her mental power to move all the rare Chinese herbs into her spatial storage.

They also secretly buried some sweet potatoes where the herbs had been removed.

In the future, we can guide the girls to discover and cultivate it as a crop in the mountains.

The two were busy until late at night before they went home.

However, Ji Yunshuang and Lu Yinheng were busy in different areas.

Besides transplanting the plants into the space for cultivation, Ji Yunshuang also explored various cliffs and precipices, harvesting a bunch of stone fungus, lingzhi mushrooms, wild honey...

Lu Yinheng, on the other hand, was busy tidying up the cave.

After his simple tidying up, the cave was now habitable.

He did everything he could to help a group of unfamiliar girls.

At that moment, looking at his body covered in mud, Ji Yunshuang suddenly felt that he was somewhat great.

In her time, most people prioritized their own interests. Even she herself often only considered her own needs. People like him are rare these days.

She didn't ask him again how he planned to rescue the girls and move them to the mountains.

But she was secretly watching his movements, thinking that if anything unexpected happened, she would be willing to help without revealing herself.

Wei family.

Wei Yuqi slowly woke up, and as soon as he moved slightly, a piercing pain shot through his entire body.

Memories of the moment before I fainted flooded back...

Thinking of the woman's foot that had stepped on his crotch before he fainted, his eyes widened in horror, and his hands trembled as he reached for his crotch.

Upon touching the bandage underneath, she instantly let out a terrifying scream.

"My son, what's wrong?" Upon hearing the scream, Madam Dong rushed over and asked with concern.

The maids and servants serving in the room looked frightened.

"Mother, I..." Wei Yuqi didn't care about shame at this moment, pointing to his crotch and saying, "What's wrong with me? Am I crippled?"

Thinking about what the doctor had said, a flash of hatred crossed Madam Dong's eyes, but she gently comforted her son, saying, "It's alright, I had a doctor examine you, you're fine!"

"Then why wrap it with medicine?" Wei Yuqi didn't believe her at all, and said in a frantic voice, "I remember that bitch clearly stepped on me. Mother, don't lie to me."

Madam Dong said, "Why would I lie to you? The doctor bandaged you up just to be on the safe side. That's the root of our Wei family, we have to protect it carefully, don't we?"

Wei Yuqi confirmed with his mother several times, and only after receiving affirmative answers each time did he finally feel relieved.

But thinking of Ji Yunshuang and Wei Shen, he angrily got out of bed and gritted his teeth, saying, "Mother, I'm going to kill those two bitches."

"Don't worry, Mother won't let those two bitches get away with it. You should focus on recovering from your injuries; your health is more important than anything else."

After much comforting from Madam Dong, Wei Yuqi finally gave up his desire to get out of bed and confront Ji Yunshuang and Wei Shen.

Once outside Wei Yuqi's room, her face instantly darkened, and she angrily berated the nanny beside her, "Where's the person I sent to investigate those two little sluts? Hasn't he returned yet?"

The old woman hurriedly said, "Madam, when the young master woke up, Magpie and Ma Er had already returned. I thought the young master was more important, so I had the two of them wait for you in the side hall. Should I go and call them over?"
