Knowing that she had misunderstood Lu Chuan, Xu Han felt embarrassed.

So I asked, "Do you really have to go see it? Can you not go?"

"We still need to go and check. The sheep's habitat isn't too far from us. If a large animal comes, it will be dangerous for us to stay here!"

Seeing Xu Han's worried expression, he added, "It's not necessarily a large animal. No particularly dangerous animals have been seen around here before! Don't worry! I'm just going to check it out. If it's really dangerous, I'll come right back! I won't put myself in any danger!"

Although that's what he said, what he really thought was that if there was any danger, he would do everything in his power to deal with it! He would never let his wife be in any danger!

Xu Han understood the reasoning behind it! Although she was very reluctant, she knew that Lu Chuan had no choice but to go this time!

So he asked, "When are you planning to leave? How long will you be gone? I'll pack your things!"

"Tomorrow! The sooner the better. Don't prepare anything, just a light blanket will do. We've always done it this way; having too much stuff is actually inconvenient! We can stay in any cave. I'll be back as soon as possible, no more than seven days!"

"Alright then! You must be careful. If there's any danger, come back. We can always find another place to live! Anyway, I have my spatial ability, so I can always survive!"

Lu Chuan was thinking that it was precisely because of his wife's special circumstances that he couldn't let her live in a crowded place.

If someone with ulterior motives sees this, he might not be able to protect his wife with his own abilities.

While thinking this, she replied aloud, "I know! While I'm gone, don't go too far. Just stay near home!"

"Lock the gate when you go to bed at night, and hurry home as soon as the sun sets!"

"Okay, I understand! Don't worry about me. I can go into the space if we encounter danger. It's you who are really worrying!"

This night was destined to be a restless one...

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, the two got up to pack! Although there wasn't much to prepare, Xu Han felt that there were still many things needed when traveling!

Lu Chuan was packing up his bow and arrows, while Xu Han was busy preparing the daily necessities he would need in the next few days.

Quickly make some dry rations to eat on the road. Make extra white flour pancakes, since it's not too hot yet and they can last for a couple of days.

Fill the bamboo tube with water, and add some steamed buns—enough for lunch. You'll need to start a fire to cook, so a tinderbox and salt are essential!

There are also some miscellaneous items that can be used. We'll also take some white rice. Lu Chuan said there are earthenware pots in the cave where we often rest, so we can cook some porridge later!

While asking Lu Chuan what he needed and what he didn't need, she busied herself packing her bags.

Seeing how worried Xu Han was about him, Lu Chuan inexplicably didn't want to leave. He didn't know what kind of dangers he would encounter this time, and he hadn't told Xu Han about the extent of the dangers, but Lu Chuan himself was well aware of them!

I don't even know if I'll be able to come back this time! I'll definitely come back; I still have my wife to protect! We haven't even had our baby together yet...

Although I was reluctant to leave, I still had to go! I hugged Xu Han and gently kissed her forehead. "Be a good girl and wait for me to come home!"

After saying that, he turned and left without looking back! He was mainly afraid that if he turned around, he would change his mind; he could tell how much Xu Han liked this place! He would definitely do his best to protect this peaceful space that belonged only to the two of them!

Xu Han watched Lu Chuan leave. Although Lu Chuan didn't say anything, she could vaguely sense that this trip wouldn't go smoothly!

But life goes on, so I picked myself up and got back to the household chores!

First, go to the backyard and dig up some earthworms to feed the chickens. After digging them up, shovel out some of the earthworm castings; we'll save those for fertilizing the vegetables later!

We also brought over the cleaned wild vegetables and rotten leaves to feed the earthworms!

After dealing with the earthworms, we went to the chicken and duck pens. Now that the chickens and ducks have grown up, they eat more and, of course, poop more, so we have to clean them almost every day.

First, clean out the droppings from the chicken and duck coop, then sprinkle a thin layer of lime powder. This can be used for disinfection and to prevent the chickens and ducks from getting sick! Sprinkle it once or twice a week.

After you're done, just replace the water in the ring with clean water!

The vegetables in the backyard need trellises too; they've grown quite tall already. I haven't had time to do it lately, and some of them have already started flowering.

Xu Han doesn't plan to go out for the next two days; she'll just focus on taking care of the vegetables in the backyard!

Arriving at the front yard, he took out the bamboo he had prepared earlier from the corner. This was something Lu Chuan had originally planned to make himself in his spare time.

But Lu Chuan hasn't been home lately, and the vegetables in the backyard are growing bigger and bigger. We can't keep waiting for Lu Chuan to come and take care of them.

Xu Han decided to do it herself. Although it would be a bit slower, she could still do it herself. She had seen her father make this frame when she was a child!

First, use a saw to cut the bamboo into sections a little over two meters long, then split them into thin strips. It's not difficult!

Once you have an idea, start taking action. First, take out a tall stool, place the bamboo on the stool, adjust the distance to a suitable level, step on the bamboo with one foot, hold it with the other hand, and then start sawing the bamboo.

Although it looks simple, it is not easy to operate. Bamboo is round and not easy to fix. You need to use force when sawing, which is quite difficult for Xu Han!

After sawing a section, Xu Han used a machete to cut it in half. Because the bamboo was too tall and difficult to work with, a day had passed and she hadn't finished cutting all the bamboo she needed. She would have to continue working on it the next day!

When evening came, Xu Han locked the courtyard gate early. Before it was completely dark, she finished dinner and went into her room!

I usually chat while I work and go to bed a little later. Although I finished getting ready early today, I still can't fall asleep!

This was the first time Xu Han had spent the night alone in her home deep in the mountains. Usually, with Lu Chuan around, she felt very safe and not afraid. But today, being all alone, she suddenly felt empty and very uncomfortable.

On one hand, she was worried about Lu Chuan, and on the other hand, she was afraid of living alone in the deep mountains where no one was around. She couldn't sleep and wondered how Lu Chuan had managed all these years!

Since I can't sleep, I'll get up and make clothes! I started cutting clothes according to the measurements I had taken for Lu Chuan before.

Lu Chuan is only 19 years old and has grown taller recently, so his clothes are made a little bigger and tucked in. When the clothes become too small, they can be put back down!
