Lin Jinyue's family transmigrated. Their journey began in 'hell mode,' with a three-year drought coupled with war. On the escape route, her mother and brother fell unconscious, and Lin ...
But Lin Jinyue really couldn't stand it.
Lin Shucheng patted her shoulders gently from behind to comfort her. He felt sad too. After all, he was a father. If he thought about his daughter dying of thirst and his wife secretly feeding her with blood, he would feel so sad.
Lin Jinyue turned her head away and didn't want to look anymore.
In this world, people are cheaper than grass.
The person in front quickly went in to fetch water with a numb look on his face.
Originally, Lin Jinyue just wanted to come over and take a look, but the person in front of her moved forward, and she followed unconsciously.
Lin Jinyue looked at them buying water, her eyes almost popped out, how could she feel sorry for others at this moment? She herself was already miserable.
I saw the man in front handed over a piece of silver, at least two taels, but the water bag was still not full.
The scoop was small to begin with, and the person who was scooping the water was shaking as much as the auntie in their school cafeteria, so most of the water spilled.
The man who was scooping water was wearing expensive clothes, but he still couldn't hide his rustic appearance. People around him called him Master Zhu.
Lin Jinyue subconsciously went to talk to someone, but was stopped by her father.
This is not in front of those people in the village. It is better for my daughter to keep a low profile in front of these people.
Lin Shucheng felt disgusted, but since he was already here, he smiled and said, "Second Master Zhu, we want a lot, can you be flexible? Give me a discount."
So there won't be any trouble.
Unexpectedly, the man spat directly in his face.
Lin Shucheng held Lin Jinyue down with one hand and wiped the saliva off his face with the other hand, feeling extremely disgusted.
Lin Jinyue was so angry. Her father was the CEO of a Fortune 500 company in his previous life. Whenever he went out, everyone would respectfully call him "Mr. Lin".
Even if they came back to ancient times, they relied on their brains to become the backbone of the people fleeing famine. How could they have ever suffered such an insult?
Lin Jinyue wished she could kill this man with a crossbow.
Lin Shucheng patted her on the back, then smiled and said to Master Zhu: "Okay, whatever you say is fine."
Master Zhu had a sullen face. He threw the ladle aside, made a gesture, and asked his men to come and scoop water for his family.
His subordinates were also arrogant, "A bucket of water costs three hundred yuan, do you have money?"
Lin Shucheng smiled awkwardly.
When his daughter pulled his sleeve, he knew that it was better not to spend the money. He came here just to take a look at the situation.
However, as soon as the father and daughter started talking, his blood pressure soared.
There was a man in fancy clothes lying on a recliner in the yard. Everyone called him Master Zhu San. There was a little girl serving him. Master Zhu San was lying on the recliner, and the little girl was rubbing his shoulders and back.
It would have been fine if she was just a maid serving others, but Mr. Zhu San would touch her from time to time, from her cheek to her neck, and directly touch the girl's breasts in front of so many people.
Lin Shucheng cursed her in her heart as a beast. This girl was about the same age as her daughter and looked less than ten years old.
The little girl had delicate features, like a porcelain doll, and her skin was fair. She was obviously the daughter of a wealthy family.
Maybe he has raised his daughter so well, who would be willing to sell her to buy water?
This little girl was most likely abducted.
Lin Shucheng turned his head away. He loved his daughter the most. She had been raised in his arms since she was a child, and he wanted her to be given everything he wanted.
Watching this scene, he couldn't help but think, what if his daughter was kidnapped and forced to serve someone else? Whenever he thought of that scene, he would want to risk his life to get some black gunpowder and blow up the entire Great Xia Dynasty.
At this time, Master Zhu San looked at Lin Jinyue with lustful eyes: "Oh, the young lady is pretty. It's just right to sell your daughter to me. It's just right for me to have two young girls to serve at night. Second brother, we can also play together."
Master Zhu also looked over with lustful eyes.
Lin Shucheng quickly pulled his daughter behind him.
Holding back his anger, he smiled stiffly: "This, this is not, no, we'll leave first."
Lin Shucheng ran out with his daughter on his back, and specifically picked Ton Lin to sneak in. When they ran far away, Lin Jinyue directly threw both of them into the system space.
The two men sat on the lawn, panting, their faces gloomy.
Lin Shucheng was also frightened when he looked at his daughter. He touched Lin Jinyue's head and said, "Yueyue, don't be afraid. Even if Dad loses himself, he will never lose you."
As he spoke, he got a piece of cloth, tied one end around his waist and the other end around Lin Jinyue's hand.
Lin Jinyue looked at the rope tied around her hands, speechless.
It was only after she had argued hard that she managed to have it tied around her wrist, as she refused to let her father tie it around her waist.
She remembered that in her previous life, when parents took their children for a walk, they tied them up like this, right?
Ever since she came to ancient times, her father has treated her as a child, even though she was already an adult in her previous life. Her father seemed to have forgotten how the human traffickers could tie her up. She has space!
However, seeing that her father and brother seemed to be in a bad mood, Lin Jinyue didn't say much.
I just feel lucky in my heart.
Fortunately, she traveled through time with her family, and her parents and brother protected her along the way. The three of them didn't let her suffer much. If she had traveled through time alone, isolated and helpless, she couldn't imagine how miserable her fate would have been.
Afterwards, the two did not leave in a hurry, but took a nap on the farm.
Lin Shucheng and Lin Jinyue didn't sleep a wink the whole night. They hurried to sleep and didn't even have time to eat properly. They could only sleep for two and a half hours. They always felt uneasy sleeping in the wild.
Two and a half hours later, the two were ejected from the system and Lin Jinyue also woke up.
After leaving the space, Lin Jinyue gave each of the children two meat patties, not caring whether the meat patties were cold or hard. Lin Jinyue and her daughter found a place to hide at the foot of the mountain.
Lin Shucheng and Blacksmith Li's family agreed to meet here tomorrow.
He waited only until dusk.
I don’t know whether their family will come or not, but Lin Shucheng thinks they can come.
What kind of life did the people in Ruyang County live? Except for those high-ranking officials, the soldiers would rush to their homes from time to time, pour medicine powder into the well water, and force them to buy water from Xifeng Mountain. Who could bear this?
Not only is it inconvenient, but it’s also very expensive.
Anyone with a brain would choose to leave.
Lin Jinyue was a person who could not sit still. She lay on the lawn, looking at the polluted blue sky and clouds of ancient times, while those images kept flashing through her mind.
There were little girls about her age being bullied like that, and watching those farmers who could have lived a stable life, each of them had their head broken just for a sip of water.
Lin Jinyue just felt upset.
Lin Shucheng saw what she was thinking. He had lived a long life and saw many things more clearly than his daughter, so he comforted her: "My daughter, the world is like this. We can only take care of ourselves and cannot save others."
Lin Jinyue sighed faintly: "Dad, I understand the truth, but I just feel uncomfortable."
"I have a way to help them."
Lin Shucheng: "How can we help? Attack them with crossbows? Or do something else to fight them? You see, there is a military camp near the villa. What can we use to fight them? Then we won't be able to live a peaceful life in the future, and we might even cause trouble for the villagers."
Lin Jinyue remained silent.
Lin Shucheng continued: "Girl, how many times have you saved the people of Linjia Village along the way? That's all great virtue. We will help if we can, but forget it if we really can't."
