The villagers were a little worried. In ancient times, there were no cameras or facial recognition technology. If these people described their features and asked the painter to draw them and put them on the wanted list...

But that's a bit troublesome.

Lin Jinyue said directly: "Let the villagers start making crossbows. These people..."

Lin Jinyue began to think about what would be more practical.

More than a dozen people were tied up, and almost all of them were injured. Seeing that they were still holding guns in their hands, they were a little panicked for a moment.

"Don't, don't kill us..."

Lin Jinyue first took out a map from the leader. She did not take the copper coins and other valuables, but instead took away all the weapons from their hands.

Although a fly's legs are small, they are still meat.

Lin Jinyue said, "You two have a choice. Either die or work for our village. We will let you go after the war is over."

These are temporary soldiers who transport food and fodder.

Everyone hurriedly worked for Lin Jinyue.

Lin Jinyue did not make things difficult for them. She called out and prepared some food for them. She let the injured ones heal their legs first, and the others who were not injured would be sent off immediately.

The villagers immediately got busy.

Blacksmith Li and his men were working non-stop to forge iron. Lin Xueqing asked them to do whatever they wanted without asking any questions. His son was also helping to make arrowheads.

If the crossbow arrowhead is replaced with iron, the lethality will be doubled.

The women were not idle either. Some helped with cooking, while others modified leather armor for everyone.

Not only men need to wear leather armor, but women and children will also have to wear it in the future, so that they will be safer when fighting.

There is also a martial arts training ground in the village. Whenever they have free time, all the villagers, young and old, practice archery according to the method taught by Lin Xueqing.

Lin Jinyue took a quick look and found that most of the targets were pretty accurate.

Their village is becoming safer and safer.

The only drawback is that the place is too small.

There are only 5,000 acres of land, which includes mountains and forests. There is too little land for their daily life.

But buying land now is too expensive.

Lin Jinyue remembered that Yunhe Village was remote and that large forest was a place no one had ever set foot in.

It would be better to distribute those lands to their villages.

Finally, it was Mr. Tan who suddenly came up and asked, "Why don't we occupy the village over there?"

Lin Jinyue was puzzled, "Is there a bandit camp?"

Old Tan nodded: "Indeed, there are some. This area is too remote. Before we reclaimed it, it was all wasteland."

Mr. Tan suggested: "Yueyue, if there are more and more people here... I still think we should send a team to go to a farther place to gather information and expand our area."

Lin Jinyue nodded: "Indeed, I have the same plan."

The population is too dense now.

Lin Jinyue wanted to set up some scientific research institutes and research laboratories, as well as to conduct secret research and manufacturing of weapons.

The village can be sealed off for a period of time now, but it cannot be sealed off forever.

With the system's task requirements, more and more people will come. Although the guards will be increased at that time, Lin Jinyue always feels that it is not appropriate to build these important places so close.

Now that they can build cement roads and buy new energy vehicles, Lin Jinyue feels that it is still necessary to expand their territory.

Not only that, the people of the Zhou clan are busy now. After the war is over, they will definitely need to build a large number of entertainment venues, which will increase the demand for land.

Old Tan continued to urge: "There is still a large forest. Let's take people to take a look. If there is no one there, we can occupy it."

Lin Jinyue was a little moved.

But she said she would think about it again.

Early the next morning, Lin Jinyue started thinking about it. No matter what, she just wanted to make sure the people in their village had a normal life first.

Lin Jinyue never expected that her action would save their village a lot of trouble.

Lin Jinyue did not bring too many people with her, but just disguised herself as a refugee and hid in the mountains.

There are many snakes, insects, rats and ants in the mountains and forests of Lingnan.

Lin Jinyue only brought a few trustworthy companions with her, as well as her parents and brother.

These people can enter the space at any time, and with her mother's medical skills, they can be much safer. This time they come mainly to explore the way. As long as there are no problems and people can survive normally, they can occupy this area.

Lin Jinyue was cautious and disguised herself as a refugee, moving forward directly.

I don't know what time it was, and the sky gradually darkened.

Lin Jinyue lit torches and sprinkled insect repellent powder, and more than a dozen people began to set up camp here.

A few days ago, Magistrate Yu mentioned that he wanted to settle a group of refugees in Lin Jinyue’s Yunhe Village, and Lin Jinyue agreed at that time.

I just feel that this land is becoming less and less sufficient.

We still have to get more land for their village. It's a turbulent time anyway. After a few wars, it will be hard to tell what will happen to these lands. Maybe in the future their Yunhe Village will become Yunhe County.

However, Lin Jinyue was not in the village at the moment, and did not use any communication equipment such as a recording bird.

They had no idea that they were wanted on the very day they robbed the food supplies.

Their wanted posters were posted at every city gate.

Including their family of four, more than a dozen people in the village were involved.

Even Lin Youcai had a reward of five taels of silver. I wonder if he would be so scared that he couldn't sleep because his head was worth five taels of silver.

Although there were no modern facial recognition and cameras in ancient times, the portrait is exactly the same, with all the necessary features.

The teardrop mole at the corner of Jiang Yun's eye and the shallow scar on Lin Jinyue's forehead were all painted on.

Lin Jinyue was completely unaware of this and had already set up camp.

They didn't come here completely unprepared.

Lin Jinyue prepared some self-defense weapons for them, so they wouldn't be too worried in critical moments.

On the other side, there is Langya Village hidden deep in the mountains and forests.

In the lobby, the leading man, Dama Jinyu, was sitting on a chair padded with tiger skin.

The bandit leader had a full beard, a face full of flesh, a scar at the corner of his eye, and a fierce look in his eyes.

Lin Youliang's legs were almost limp from fear.

That’s right, it was Lin Youliang’s family who had escaped.

After some hesitation, they finally decided to come to Lingnan.

They begged for food along the way and after many twists and turns, they finally came to Lingnan. They originally thought that they could work quietly and survive, but they heard that the third child in their family was still alive and doing well.

Lin Youliang was ready to rely on them.

However, he saw the wanted poster of Lin Shucheng's family on the way. He pondered for a long time, but finally hesitated and did not dare to look for it. When he turned back, he got lost again and was caught in the Qianye Mountain.

The bandit leader stared at Lin Youliang's family, looked them up and down, then burst into laughter and almost laughed to death.

"You said you want to make a deal with me? The bounty on your son's family is 20,000 taels of silver? And you want to go with us to catch him? Hahahahaha, are you still asleep?"

"Then how could Lin Shucheng be the son of a country bumpkin like you?"

The gun in the bandit leader's hand shone coldly in the sunlight. Lin Youliang shivered. After a while, a fishy smell came, and he was so scared that he peed his pants!
