After a while, Lin Jinyue had prepared the simple telescope.

The next morning, Lin Jinyue smelled the fragrance of rice.

Today, Liu Dazhuang and Liu Erzhuang were patrolling in the front. They were both facing a formidable enemy, fearing that if they made a mistake they would be targeted by the refugees again.

I thought that this group of people were miserable enough, and they ended up being regarded as fat sheep in the eyes of others.

After Lin Jinyue simply washed up, she called her two brothers over.

The two went to Lin Jinyue and saw that the cylinder in his hand looked a little strange.

There are pieces of glass on both sides of this cylinder. What are they for?

Lin Jinyue demonstrated it to them in public, "This thing can see far away, but it's not transparent yet, so it's a bit difficult to see."

Liu Dazhuang climbed up a tree without saying a word.

In order to avoid being searched, they would rather cross mountains and hills than go along the official roads.

See, their terrain was high, so Liu Dazhuang climbed up the tree again, looked through the telescope for a long time, and then took it down.

Liu Dazhuang exclaimed in surprise: "Erya, what's wrong with your brain? This, this, this is amazing!"

Liu Dazhuang was completely stunned. He looked at the telescope, then took it down and looked with his naked eyes, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

The temple in front of us was originally just a tiny dot, but after using a telescope, it was magnified several times and the vague outline could be seen clearly.

Although the color of things suddenly changes when looking through the telescope and it seems a little unreal, it is still convenient to use this thing to see if there are people nearby or if there are military camps.

After seeing this, he was somewhat reluctant to come down.

This baby thing is really amazing.

Later, when they fled to Lingnan, they built a watchtower and sent people to watch it day and night. Wouldn't that be much safer?

They ran away before anyone came to call. This small thing can save lives at the critical moment.

Liu Dazhuang praised the telescope highly, and the villagers took turns to enjoy the view of it.

"Amazing! I can really see farther."

"I told you that studying is useful. Once we settle down..."

"I think it's not just about studying. Look at Erya's smart little brain. She only studied with her brother for a few days and she knows everything."

Everyone started arguing about whether studying is useful or not.

It was also fun for Lin Jinyue to watch from the side, but when they arrived at their destination, all the children had to go to school, and the adults also had to learn literacy. How could they survive without knowing how to read and study?

On the other side, the family was also holding a small meeting, whispering to each other.

The blacksmith and his family felt more at ease when they saw this scene.

He had always known that Lin Jinyue was powerful, but he had never expected that Lin Jinyue could even make such a magical thing.

Others don't understand, but the blacksmith knows that if this is used in war, it will be a priceless treasure.

The blacksmith was also a shrewd man. He knew the role of Lin Shucheng's family. Not only did they have a doctor on the road, but they also had a genius who could make crossbows and telescopes.

The family members no longer mentioned the matter of breaking up. They all praised Lin Jinyue for her intelligence and ability, and said that this child was lovable.

Even if they have to die, they will stay in this team.

Look, the blacksmith's father even took some aged wine from home to find Lin Youcai.

If we are going together, we must build a good relationship.

Actually, the villagers were quite friendly to the blacksmith's family, but the blacksmith's father, Gensheng, felt that it was not enough. They had to make friends with them on this journey, and they had to maintain good relations even if it meant suffering a little loss. However, when they arrived in Lingnan, the people in Linjia Village would stick together and would not take them with them when it came to important matters. What should they do?

Otherwise, why do people say that the Wang family is so smart? When Lin Jinyue is in trouble, they are the first to rush forward to help and solve the problem. Isn't it because they are afraid that Lin Jinyue will do something big in the future and not play with them?

He Gensheng suddenly became anxious. Since he couldn't work as a blacksmith on the road, he could only go in a roundabout way to please the old village chief.

This time, Liu Dazhuang and his men were on high alert and keeping a close watch.

Looking at the refugees in the distance, walking in the opposite direction, he asked Lin Jinyue: "Er Ya, when are we leaving?"

Lin Jinyue said, "Don't worry, let's deal with the food first."

This was something she suddenly thought of this morning.

Not only is the food heavy for the villagers to carry, but sometimes it is difficult to store for a long time. Most importantly, it is too ostentatious. In this era, everyone is short of food, and they are the only ones carrying such a large basket of food. Isn't it obvious that people will come and snatch it?

Lin Jinyue asked everyone to fry the black beans quickly and use the remaining brown rice as food for the mountain guarding.

There are many benefits to keeping mountain grain. Not only can it be stored for a long time, but it also looks somewhat similar to Guanyin soil. As long as you don't cook and eat it in front of other people, no one will find out that it is actually grain.

She said, "Don't worry, uncle, you guys take turns watching, I'll take the aunts to deal with the other food. Don't put so much on the cart, it's too eye-catching."

Liu Dazhuang: "Then these horses..."

Lin Jinyue said hurriedly: "We can't lose the horses. We can't lose them even if we fight them to the death. In the next few days, I will refine the crossbow design so that it won't be useless at the critical moment."

After hearing her words, several men from the Wang family came over immediately.

Wang Jiajia and Wang Zhi smiled and said, "Er Ya, if you trust me, I will make it for you and I guarantee that you will be satisfied with it."

Lin Jinyue didn't trust them or not. Anyway, what they couldn't do well was just a few delicate small parts. Moreover, this kind of crossbow was very complicated to make and difficult to assemble. If one was wrong, the whole thing would have to be reassembled.

Lin Jinyue nodded: "Uncle, the most critical parts are handed over to you. That is, can you do this kind of complicated thing?"

Wang Zhi just took a look and patted his chest: "This is nothing. I can carve a flower uncle on it. My family has been doing carpentry for generations."

Lin Jinyue didn't expect that ancient craftsmen were so stubborn. She thought the Wang family could only do some simple carpentry.

Now we have blacksmiths and carpenters. After going to Lingnan, our living standards will be greatly improved.

As Lin Jinyue said this, Jiang Yun complained: "I still want to live a good life in the future, but now I have to hide even the food I eat."

A group of women were preparing food for the mountain, and no one wanted to waste time here.

It’s better to escape to Lingnan as soon as possible now.

They rushed all the way south, and it took them more than ten days to travel at full speed. They took turns riding on the cart. The mountain road became more and more rugged, and everyone's faces were filled with fatigue.

There were more than 70 of them in the group. They relied on binoculars and took turns to keep watch, and they avoided many refugees and wild beasts in the mountains.

Jiang Yunyan was originally a little bit pained by the price of the glass, but now she feels that there is really no way to save money.

After walking for ten days or so, everyone felt a little exhausted.

Lin Youcai couldn't help but ask: "Er Ya, where are we? How long will it take us to get to Lingnan?"

Lin Jinyue wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "I don't know either, I guess I found the right location."
