That day, Lu Chuan went hunting and returned early. Before he even entered the house, he shouted loudly to Xu Han!

"Wife, wife, where are you?"

Hearing Lu Chuan's slightly excited voice, Xu Han was also curious about what had happened.

"I'm in the storeroom! What's wrong?" Xu Han asked as she walked out.

"I fell into a valley when I went hunting today."

"What? You fell into the valley? Are you hurt? Don't move, let me check you." As soon as Xu Han heard that Lu Chuan had fallen into the valley, she quickly interrupted him and hurriedly checked Lu Chuan's body.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Look, I'm perfectly fine! It's just a little scrape on my arm, nothing serious." Lu Chuan said, turning around so Xu Han could see clearly.

Xu Han was relieved to see that Lu Chuan was alright and even quite excited.

As he walked into the main room, he asked, "And then! Why are you so happy after falling?" He then sat down, took out some roasted pine nuts, and looked ready to watch the drama unfold.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan followed and sat down, saying, "When I fell in, I found a very large valley, and inside the valley was a huge sinkhole with a lot of water."

Most importantly, the valley was lush and green, showing no signs of drought.

Xu Han couldn't sit still any longer after hearing this. She composed herself and asked, "And then!"

Lu Chuan continued, "That valley is very close to us, surrounded by trees, making it very secluded. There's also a large cave nearby. Most importantly, I checked around and didn't find any large animals, but there are some non-venomous snakes inside."

Upon hearing that there was a snake, Xu Han immediately stopped thinking about it, but when she heard that it was a non-venomous snake, she prepared to continue listening attentively.

"That valley is very big, and the environment is beautiful. I'll take you there tomorrow!"

Xu Han had the same idea, so she said, "Okay, let's go take a look together tomorrow."

Xu Han was full of anticipation for the valley tomorrow. It was not short of water and was also very secluded, making it a perfect storage location in case of any unexpected situations.

Most importantly, it's very close to here, so even if something unexpected happens, we can quickly escape there.

The reason Lu Chuan was so excited was that he had the same idea as Xu Han.

Although both of them were looking forward to going to see it together, it was already too late, so they had to give up.

Let's hurry up and fetch water to irrigate the land before it gets dark! That's the important thing to do.

The waiting time was always particularly agonizing. Finally, the next morning arrived, and the two set off for the valley as soon as it was slightly light.

Xu Han followed Lu Chuan through a maze of twists and turns, only to find themselves walking further and further away, into an increasingly remote place, but without seeing any sign of a valley. So, she asked for the fifth time...

"Where is the valley? Why haven't we arrived yet?"

“It’s right ahead, look!” Lu Chuan said, pointing to a bush.

Xu Han looked for a long time but couldn't see it. It didn't look like a valley at all!

Seeing Xu Han's condition, Lu Chuan quickly pulled her along and walked in that direction. Lu Chuan led Xu Han through the bushes and walked for a while before they saw a cave entrance.

Lu Chuan went down first and then caught Xu Han below.

When Xu Han went down, she became particularly excited as soon as she saw her surroundings.

In the middle of the valley was a particularly large pool of water, surrounded by tall trees and caves.

"The environment here is so nice! It doesn't look dry at all, and look, the grass and trees around are all green, and there are so many wild vegetables over there! They look so fresh and tender," Xu Han said happily to Lu Chuan.

"Not bad, right? There's something even better here! Come with me." With that, he pulled Xu Han toward a cave on the side.

The cave entrance that Xu Han saw didn't look very big, but once inside, she found that the space inside was really huge! It was all open space, with several smaller caves around it.

After taking a walk around, Xu Han found that it was perfect for living. There were three large caves that could be used as bedrooms, and smaller caves that could be used for storage.

Moreover, judging from the condition of the cave, there are no large animals here, only some rabbit droppings.

The open space outside the cave is also quite large, but it is currently covered by bushes.

Lu Chuan then took Xu Han for a stroll in the valley. It was truly a wonderful place, practically a natural oxygen bar!

"How did you find this place? That's so cool!" Xu Han asked.

"Black Wind was chasing a pheasant and ended up here. Suddenly, he lost his footing and fell. I followed him to pull him up and that's how we found this place."

"The environment here is so nice, completely different from the outside. Could there be any unknown dangers?" Xu Han asked worriedly.

“I looked around the area yesterday, and apart from rabbits and pheasants, there weren’t many other large animals. The only thing to be careful about is that the environment here is much more humid than outside, so there might be more snakes. I did find quite a few snakes when I checked yesterday, but thankfully they weren’t venomous,” Lu Chuan explained.

“If there are no dangerous animals, then this is indeed a good place,” Xu Han thought seriously.

"There shouldn't be any, otherwise there wouldn't be so many pheasants and rabbits here. If there were animals more powerful than them, there definitely wouldn't be so many pheasants and rabbits here. Maybe this is a gathering place for pheasants and rabbits!" Lu Chuan said.

Hearing Lu Chuan say this, Xu Han and Lu Chuan exchanged a glance and instantly understood each other's intentions.

"Let's make this our emergency shelter! We'll come here to clean up and prepare when we have time."

"But we shouldn't reveal our location unless it's absolutely necessary," Xu Han said solemnly.

“I understand. No one else but you and me will know,” Lu Chuan said.

Lu Chuan understood Xu Han's intention: not everyone in this world can be completely trusted, and it's always good to leave yourself a way out when doing things.

"It's a pity, it's quite damp here, otherwise I really would like to live here," Xu Han said reluctantly.

"Who says otherwise! But if you really live here, your body definitely won't be able to take it for long. It's fine to stay here occasionally. If you want to come and stay here in the future, I'll come with you for a short stay."

"Great! The environment here is so beautiful, just looking at the scenery makes me happy."

Then the two of them explored the area again, and while they were at it, they hunted a few pheasants and rabbits. With their haul full, they headed home.
