Afterwards, Lin Youcai begged Lin Shucheng again: "Third brother, I am the village chief and I have some words. Just treat it as your uncle begging you to take us with you. I promise not to cause any trouble. If anyone has a headache or fever and needs Tiezhu's mother to treat him, we will definitely exchange herbs for him. We can also take care of him with more people."

Lin Shucheng was surprised and looked at his daughter again.

Lin Jinyue thought for a moment and said, "It's okay to bring him along, but we have to make three rules and sign a severance agreement."

Lin Youcai agreed immediately: "Okay."

Lin Jinyue continued: "First, if you want to be with my family, you must obey my father and brother's command at the critical moment. If you dare to cause trouble, our family will leave on their own. Second, if there is a conflict between my family and Lin Youliang's family in the future, you are not allowed to mediate. Third, on the road to escape the famine, we must stick to our own family and not give away surplus food to help others."

Lin Xueqing added: "If anyone dares to offend my sister, my father and I will break his legs!"

These words were directed at Lin Youliang.

After the three rules were completed, Lin Xueqing wrote the letter of severance of the relationship.

Since there was no banknote, he tore off the cloth he had just changed, bit his finger and wrote with blood, indicating that he was determined to draw a clear line between himself and the Lin family.

Otherwise, even if they didn't bring Lin Youliang's family with them today, they would still come along like a dog-skin plaster, saying that they just happened to take the same route. How annoying it would be to make such a fuss every day?

Lin Youliang was really panicked now. Seeing that Lin Youcai was going to use clan law and that other people in the village were all on the side of the third brother, he was a little panicked for a moment.

In order to save their lives, they could only put their fingerprints on the severance agreement and dared not do anything wrong.

Lin Youliang felt so aggrieved.

But if they were allowed to run to the north now, Prince Jing had already attacked them, so who would dare to run? If they were caught, they would either be made slaves or thrown into a frying pan.

After everything was settled, Lin Youcai asked everyone to clean up this place first.

Although this cave is safe, we cannot stay here for long.

Prince Jing's army was about to attack them, so they didn't dare to move out.

Lin Shucheng arranged for the young man to climb up the mountain along the thick tree trunks, and from time to time take a look at the situation in Nan'an County in the distance.

They estimated that people from Prince Jing's side had arrived, and they didn't know if there were any civilians hiding in the mountains. Someone was watching from the trees, so Lin Shucheng asked everyone to wait and see what happened in the cave.

This was where the people from Linjia Village had taken refuge before. It had been simply cleaned up, but it was still a mess inside.

The light in the cave was dim, with a few wind vents. Lin Youcai and his companions picked up the remaining firewood and lit a fire.

As soon as it lit up, Lin Jinyue was startled: "Ah——"

She jumped up immediately and said that her legs felt sticky and a little cold. It turned out to be a centipede crawling on her body!!!

Moreover, this centipede was quite huge, and it gave her goose bumps all over her body just by looking at it.

Not to mention her, even Jiang Yun was frightened and quickly asked her son to catch the centipede as it could be used as medicine, but she didn't dare to catch it.

Lin Xueqing caught the centipede in no time and also caught the small snake hiding nearby.

Lin Xueqing used to be outdoors a lot, so she wasn't afraid of these things. She even said, "We'll have snake meat soup tonight. This snake should be edible, right?"

Lin Jinyue leaned over to take a look. Indeed, although the snake looked scary, it was indeed not poisonous.

Lin Xueqing peeled off the skin in three steps and threw it to his father to deal with.

Lin Shucheng set up a pot, took the seasonings that his daughter secretly gave him, and prepared to stew a snake meat soup with the refined rice.

After eating, Lin Jinyue leaned against a rock with a somewhat empty look in her eyes.

Lin Shucheng was the first to notice that something was wrong with her, and he quickly came over to ask, "What's wrong, girl? The snake meat soup just now wasn't tasty? Oh, the nanny usually cooks, so Daddy will make it a few more times. It will definitely taste good in a few days."

Lin Jinyue came to her senses and said with a smile: "No, it's delicious. I just wonder how long this will last."

She was itching all over. There was water on the farm, but there was no bathtub or shower gel. She was also worried about polluting the river water, so she didn't dare to go in to take a bath. She could only simply draw water and scrub herself.

But after fleeing from famine for more than a month and not washing her hair or taking a bath for a month, her hair became tangled and she had lice. Her body was covered in black mud, which made Lin Jinyue, who had a mild obsession with mysophobia, very uncomfortable.

Not to mention her, even Lin Xueqing, who used to roll around in the mud when on missions, couldn't stand it.

Lin Jinyue took a deep breath. Such days had to end soon. Now that she was in ancient times, she no longer expected modern villas, luxury cars, and all kinds of entertainment and leisure. At least, she couldn't be like she is now, so dirty that even dogs would despise her.

She immediately took a branch and wrote and drew on the ground. She was currently in Xinyang, Henan. It was more than a thousand miles to Guangzhou, and they had to take a detour and go through remote places. It was not known whether they could get there in half an hour.

Lin Jinyue scratched her itchy head and said, "No, we have to get a carriage!"

She couldn't stand it for a month, let alone half a day.

Lin Shucheng was frightened: "Girl, do you want a carriage?"

This made Old Lin very worried. Where could he find a carriage for his daughter?

Lin Jinyue has already solved the problem of food and clothing and is worrying about living a good life, but the people in the village are not so lucky. They are all starving.

The cakes that Lin Jinyue gave not long ago were not used very much. Some families were reluctant to eat them, some families had them snatched away on the road, and some families favored boys over girls and did not give them to their girls.

Lin Sanya, the granddaughter of her uncle from the Ni clan, was really unlucky. First, she was robbed on the road and was left with only a palm-sized piece of bread. Her uncle cooked it and gave it to her brother Shitou, and Sanya fainted from hunger.

At this time, Shuqi's family was still thinking about whether to bury Sanya here.

Lin Jinyue was frightened by what she saw.

Fortunately, her parents came.

In fact, the people in Linjia Village were relatively good. Most of the people fleeing famine were strong men. Children and the elderly were the first to be abandoned.

In Linjia Village, there are the elderly people Lin Youliang, Lin Youcai, her uncle Lin Youxi, and two old ladies. They were reluctant to sell their children, so there were seven girls in the team of about ten people.

After all, it was ancient times, and that was their concept. When they were at their wits' end, the first ones to be abandoned would definitely be girls.

Lin Jinyue felt a little reluctant.

After all, she has the memory of Qianxue, and Qianxue had the best relationship with Lin Sanya when they were young.

Putting all this aside, Lin Sanya was only an eight-year-old child. It would be fine if she had no food, but now that she had plenty of food in her space, she definitely couldn't just watch Sanya being buried alive by them.

Lin Jinyue took half a dry biscuit and brought it over.

Her uncle, who was more than 10 years old, knelt down and kowtowed to him for half a piece of coarse grain cake that no one in her family liked to eat, "Er Ya, San Ya's life was given by you. If we can survive, San Ya and Shitou will work like a cow and a horse for you in the future."

As he said this, he pulled his son and grandson Shitou to kowtow to Lin Jinyue.
