They had been planting seeds non-stop in the past few days. When the seeds rewarded by the government were used up, they spent money to buy seeds. They had planted all the seeds on the one acre of land in front of the farmhouse.

Lin Jinyue opened the system panel to check the current situation.

[Farm Level: 2 (1350/5000)

Wealth: 978 coins

Warehouse: 12 eggs, 10 catties of Chinese cabbage, 50 catties of rice, 20 catties of flour]

The copper coins inside can be exchanged 1:1 for the common currency of their world.

Lin Jinyue exchanged 500 coins, but she didn't know the prices here, so to be on the safe side, she decided to bring some eggs and cabbage just in case.

A family of four arrived at the gate of Nan'an County and entered smoothly after paying the entrance fee.

The farm level is too low, and the mall only has the most basic food and cabbage seeds. Clothes and bedding are not unlocked. Lin Jinyue plans to buy some daily necessities in the city.

Who would have thought that although everything looked peaceful outside, the city had already been in chaos. It was heard that Prince Jing's army was about to capture Lincheng, and there were not many people left in the city. Those who got the news early left two days ago. There were only a few shops left, and the shopkeepers were still counting what they could take away. They were in a hurry and wanted to sell nothing.

Especially food, which was not sold at all. Occasionally, a vendor was willing to sell a few kilograms of rice, and one kilogram of rice was sold for several taels of silver. Under normal circumstances, one tael of silver was enough to feed a family of five for a year.

Lin Jinyue was helpless. It seemed that the clothes and bedding could not be purchased for the time being. She could only wait for the Tong Mall to be refreshed.

But Lin Jinyue was a little unwilling to give up.

I finally came across a town where the fighting hadn't started yet. I don't know when I'll be able to enter the town next time.

She planned to take a few eggs and a basket of cabbage to try her luck. But those clothes and fabrics were just external possessions, how could they compare to food?

When someone saw what was inside, they immediately rushed over, and they were so scared that they thought this man wanted to rob in the street.

The man jumped off the carriage and almost fell down in a hurry. He grabbed Lin Shucheng's arm and asked hurriedly, "Weren't you asking for bedding and cloth just now? I have them. How much food do you have? I have everything except food. As long as I can exchange it for food, I will do it."

Originally they just wanted to exchange some coarse cloth to make clean clothes, but after getting the money, the whole family was a little dazed, seven eggs, a basket of cabbage, and ten kilograms of brown rice were actually exchanged for a box of top-quality brocade.

Lin Jinyue felt a little sorry, so she stuffed him with a few eggs and the multi-grain cakes they had brought with them.

In exchange, he received a box of coarse cloth, some sundries and a few pieces of silver, which were forced upon him.

The man said, "It doesn't matter if I have a fortune. In this day and age, staying alive is the greatest luxury. You can't take these with you anyway, so I'll give them to you."

The family carried boxes to the open space. Seeing that there was no one around, Lin Jinyue stuffed all the things directly into the farm's warehouse and walked out of the city gate carrying only some coarse cloth in her hands.

"You are not dead yet!"

Lin Youliang's family looked at them in disbelief.

The third brother's wife, Jiang, and his son were clearly half dead, but now they are standing here alive and well. The Lin family is full of energy and vigor, with rosy complexions and money to buy cloth in the city. How can they look like people fleeing famine?

Lin Jinyue was in a very good mood, but who knew she would hear such unlucky words when she went out.

Lin Youliang's family was in a miserable state. Lin Laoer was lying on the ground, unconscious and about to die.

The team of more than one hundred people from Linjia Village was reduced by one third in just three days.

Lin Jinyue ignored Lin Youliang's family. Instead, she thought about the other people in Linjia Village who gave them food during that critical moment. Otherwise, even if they had a farm, the first day would have been very difficult.

Lin Shucheng was also wondering how he should start the conversation.

It's such a long journey, and we are out of ammunition and food. I'm afraid it will be difficult to reach the north alive.

Even if they reached the north, they would probably not have a good ending, as the capital would be captured soon.

At this time, a steward dressed in gorgeous clothes came over.

Several people from the Lin family rushed over and knelt on the ground to beg them: "My lord, our boy is tough and can do any hard labor. Please give our child a way out. All he needs is some whole grain cakes."

As he spoke, he pulled Daya out as if to display merchandise.

Boss Lin said anxiously, "My lord, my daughter is pretty, but she's a little dirty now. Take her home and take care of her. She can serve others. Please take care of her, my lord."

The man kicked him away and said, "Go away and don't get in my way."

Seeing the Lin family do this, other people in the village were a little hesitant.

This Guan Xi is different from the cannibalistic Master Xu. If he sells his children, he can still have a way to survive. If he keeps them at home, I'm afraid the whole family will die.

Three years of severe drought and war made it impossible to survive.

Lin Jinyue's family felt a little bit reluctant to watch this.

She took her family to a remote alley and asked in consultation, "Should we get them some food and warn the north about the war?"

Jiang Yun also frowned: "Those children are so pitiful. We have a farm, so why not take them with us and grow crops to exchange for food? At least they won't starve to death."

The four members of the family all traveled from peacetime, and they hated the scene of selling children the most.

Lin Jinyue saw that she was moved with compassion and wanted to take those people with her, but she somewhat disagreed in her heart.

"In this chaotic world, our family can't do much. It's already very difficult for us to survive. Now everyone is running north. If our family of four runs south, we can hardly protect ourselves."

Lin Jinyue felt heartbroken, but she had read so many historical materials about famine and war, and had already witnessed the evil of human nature in words.

She recalled the original owner's memory and gently reminded him, "Mother, we can give this man some whole grain cakes to repay his kindness in the forest. However, before we came here, Jiang was too kind. Villagers who had a headache or fever would come to her. At first, she said she would treat them casually and that it would be good as long as they had a way to survive. But later, several families complained about her for not being able to treat them."

"Besides, in this chaotic world, our family can't control too much."

Jiang Yun was just soft-hearted for a moment, but she wasn't really confused.

Lin Jinyue prepared to deliver some food to the people of Linjia Village and inform them of the danger.

When I went back, I saw people from Linjia Village sitting at the gate of Nan'an County, and their faces looked numb.

Only the Lin family members were cursing over there:

"Damn it, they don't even want to give a basket of brown rice. Do you really think we didn't ask for favors? I already inquired a long time ago. A boy can be exchanged for ten kilograms of brown rice, and a girl can be exchanged for fifteen kilograms."

"This black-hearted bastard wants to exchange Daya for eight kilograms of brown rice."

Lin Jinyue felt uncomfortable after hearing this. She was almost sold last time.
