The villagers of Linjia Village watched the dozens of Lin family members leave the village with their families and shook their heads, "I don't know what the village chief was thinking. He actually listened to the nonsense of that bastard Lin Rui!"

"If we don't leave, how can we get all these good paddy fields? It's better to leave!"

"My family doesn't have enough food, so we just exchanged some reclaimed wasteland. The food on the wasteland is enough for my family to eat for half a year."

Lin Rui's family's carriage was in the front. In fact, if you count carefully, there were only four families with them, the three brothers Lin Changxi and the family of the village head Lin Pingmao.

The union of a husband and wife is like the sprouting of a tree, which branches out from the trunk, grows luxuriantly, and their descendants begin to thrive. Even if there are only four families, the team is actually huge, with more than thirty people, young and old.

Especially for strong and sturdy farmers like Lin Changxi, Lin Changhe and Lin Changtai, small groups of refugees would not dare to approach them.

The direction they were leaving in was along the Lianshan Mountains. Although it was not as majestic as the Ten Thousand Mountains, it would be a complete waste of resources to hide dozens of people like them in such a continuous mountain range.

As soon as these people entered the mountains and forests, they disappeared without a trace.

After leaving Linjia Village, except for the Lin family men who made the decision, the women who accompanied them were full of complaints, angry that they had to give up their peaceful lives and accompany Lin Rui, that rascal, to such trouble.

Yu Lanhua and Zhang Dacui are Lin Changxi's brother Lin Changfa and Lin Changhe's wife respectively. They had just set out and still had energy left, so they walked together, whispering and complaining.

As sisters-in-law, they often had conflicts before the separation. After the separation, their relationship became much better without the parents-in-law. Along the way, the two daughters who were extremely reluctant to leave had more common topics.

"Da Cui, have you told your family about leaving?" Yu Lanhua was pushing a wheelbarrow with luggage piled high on it, completely blocking her figure. She could only turn her head to look at the situation on the roadside while asking her sister-in-law.

Zhang Dacui curled her lips and said disapprovingly: "Changhe is so confused, how can I let my brothers from my mother's family suffer? Tan Ying's mother's family's affairs are two mountains away from us. We are almost in a remote and poor village here. I don't believe that a group of bandits and horse bandits would cross mountains and ridges to cause trouble for us!"

"The men of our Linjia Village are not meant to die. No matter what, we will send them back to their lair! By the way, Lanhua, have your family members heard from you?"

Yu Lanhua nodded: "I gave it to him. It's such a big deal after all. But I don't think my parents will believe it. There are so many villages in this area. I don't believe they can find our little place."

"Your wife?"

"I've already given them the letter. Tan Ying's family has suffered a disaster and they're all scared out of their wits. When Zicheng returned and told me about this, he went back to his room to pack up his things without saying a word. I think he couldn't wait to escape. He's such a jerk!"

"You're short-sighted. You only care about the future and don't even think about what will happen if you leave Linjia Village!"

The sun came up, and its warm rays shone on people. After walking a few miles, they all felt tired. The women were silent and kept their heads down as they walked.

However, after walking for such a short distance, Lin Rui felt his legs were so heavy that he couldn't even lift them. The original owner's physique was so weak that it was impossible for him to do high-intensity exercise.

He walked panting, carrying only a bag of clothes on his back, making him the lightest-laden person among the refugees.

Looking at the winding mountain road ahead, my heart was beating fast. I could never finish the road!

He missed his modern cars. It would be so comfortable to drive with the air conditioner on in such hot weather!

As he was lost in thought, he stumbled and fell straight down.

"Master!" Sanliang, who was carrying a lot of luggage, immediately dropped the package in his hand and grabbed Lin Rui's belt.

Lin Rui felt his body suddenly stop as it lunged forward, just like the feeling of a modern car suddenly stopping and the seat belt holding you in place.

"Good job, Sanliang!" Lin Zikun, who was walking behind, shouted excitedly.

He carefully pulled Lin Rui up and asked, "Master, are you okay?"

"No, I'm fine." His legs were indeed weak, and he sat on the side of the road, gasping for breath.

Feng Zhenniang immediately ran over worriedly: "Rui'er, how are you?"

Lin Rui waited until he had caught his breath and waved his hands: "No, it's okay, help me up, I can still walk!"

The unfortunate original owner's body was hollowed out by alcohol and sex, and he became so weak.

Sanliang wrapped all the luggage hanging on his body around his neck, his chest was full, and he half-knelt in front of Lin Rui: "Master, come up, I will carry you!"

Lin Rui looked at Sanliang's frail appearance and couldn't help but ask, "Can you do it?"

"It's possible!" He nodded three or two, very confidently.

In order not to delay the journey and because he really had no strength left, Lin Rui did not refuse. Although he felt guilty letting this half-grown child carry him, a grown man, there was nothing he could do as he really had no strength left.

It's not that they don't want to ride the ox cart, it's just that the cart is so packed with things that even the children have to sit on it reluctantly. Feng Zhenniang and Yu Lanhua walked beside the ox cart, holding it with their hands, for fear that the children would fall off if they were not careful.

Lin Zizheng and Lin Zikun also said, "Sanliang, if it doesn't work, just let me know and I'll take turns."

Lin Rui waved his hand: "Don't bother, just let me rest for a while. Let's go quickly, otherwise things will get worse."

The large group started moving again, heading towards the deep mountains that were almost towering into the clouds.

After crossing the continuous mountains, passing through two counties and then driving on the dirt road for dozens of kilometers, you can reach the territory of Huangmoguan. The route map mentioned by people was so light that it would take one or two months or even more to walk there in ancient times when transportation was underdeveloped.

Shuanzi stood at the entrance of the village and watched the figures of the village chief and his men slowly disappear from their sight. He guessed that they had entered the deep mountains and forests. There were bears, wolves and big beasts in the deep mountains over there. No matter how skilled the hunters were, they would not dare to go into the deep mountains for fear of losing their lives.

When Shuanzi was young, his parents sent him to a private school for a few years. The thing that stuck with him most was a saying by his teacher: "Knowing there's a tiger in the mountain, you still go there." Now, weren't the village chief and his men heading to Tiger Mountain? He suddenly felt uneasy. If they were willing to go to Tiger Mountain without even looking back, how terrifying would the world outside be? He shuddered and hurried back home.

Zhu happily took stock of her own land: "We exchanged two acres of paddy fields with the village chief's family, and Lin Changhe's family exchanged three acres of wasteland..."

Seeing Shuanzi, Zhu glared at him and said, "Why are you back just now? There's rice in the pot for you, go eat it quickly."

Shuanzi looked at his mother hesitantly: "Mom, why don't we escape too? I always feel that the world outside is not right."

Zhu tucked the land deed into her arms, stood up, and cursed, "I think you're just talking nonsense because you've eaten too much. The village chief and the others are stupid for believing Lin Rui's lies. Look at us, everyone in our village is living a peaceful life. If you want to leave, go ahead!"

After being scolded by my mother, Shuanzi had no choice but to give up in frustration.
