Lin Youcai was getting anxious.

Wait, why are we still fighting over it?

Lin Youcai tried to stop her, but it was too late; Lin Jinyue had already pulled her father aside to discuss countermeasures.

Lin Jinyue didn't sleep well yesterday and had been traveling all day. When she was woken up just now, her eyelids were drooping.

But the moment she saw the horse and the cart, she was no longer sleepy.

She was really tired from walking today; her legs felt like they were going to give out, especially since the mountain paths here were difficult to walk on, and she kept stepping on sharp stones.

Actually, she was the one with the easiest life in the family. Since someone was fleeing the famine with her, it was impossible to store all the luggage in her spatial storage. If she could get two horses, things would be much easier.

Anyway, she has a farm, so she doesn't have to worry about her horses starving to death on the road.

Lin Jinyue got more and more excited as she thought about it, and said to her father, "Mom has been making all sorts of medicines lately, right? I remember there's one that can be used as a sleeping potion. We can have my brother use a slingshot to shoot the sleeping potion onto them, and then we can do whatever we want."

The plan was simple and crude, but they all thought it worked.

Lin Jinyue thought for a moment, and stopped Lin Xueqing just as he was about to climb the tree and start making a move, saying, "Brother, wait a moment."

She ran to the village chief again, "Grandpa, you take everyone and leave first, follow the route we agreed on yesterday. My brother and I will get the carriage and come over."

Lin Jinyue was also worried that if the car overturned, there would be too many people around, making it difficult to hide. If something happened to her family, they could at least temporarily hide in the farm.

She told Lin Youcai about her concerns, and they left reluctantly.

I'm really worried about Lin Jinyue's family.

Having already endured such hardships on the journey of fleeing famine, it's really not worth risking your life for a few horses and a cart.

Lin Jinyue insisted, saying that their staying would only cause trouble and they would be wiped out, so the people of Linjia Village finally agreed to leave.

Lin Jinyue only felt relieved after watching the group walk away. It was still dark at this time. It was only because the group was bold and lit a campfire that they were particularly conspicuous at night, otherwise Lin Xueqing would not have been able to aim at them.

Lin Jinyue chose a tree that was a little closer, put her parents into her spatial storage first, and then climbed the tree with Lin Xueqing.

To be on the safe side, Lin Jinyue took the antidote in advance.

She rolled the powder into a ball and said to Lin Xueqing, "Brother, it's a bit far. Can we use a slingshot to launch it into the fire?"

Lin Xueqing aimed for a while, then nodded: "No problem."

As soon as he finished speaking, the small bullet was sent flying into the fire, and thick smoke could be seen rising from it.

Lin Jinyue didn't dare to go over there for a moment, and she didn't know what the situation was like over there.

After staring for a while, the brother and sister covered their mouths and noses with wet wipes and went over to check on the situation.

When the smoke cleared, not only were people gone, but even the horses that were nearby were lying sprawled on the ground.

Lin Jinyue was still worried, so she took a tree branch and poked the people. They were all sleeping like dead pigs and couldn't be woken up no matter how she shook them.

You can always trust Jiang Yun's medicine; it will never fail.

Lin Jinyue took stock of the grain. Although it was a return trip, she guessed that these people had secretly kept some of the grain for themselves. In these days, no one had it easy, and those who transported grain and fodder were the ones who made the most money.

There wasn't much food, but it was enough for them to eat for a while.

There are quite a few horses here. Lin Jinyue put the five unconscious horses into her spatial storage, and they will wake up in a while.

Lin Jinyue took the remaining four carts with her, including the bags of grain on them.

Lin Jinyue released her parents and took the remaining carts back with her, which made up four horses and four carts.

These things made life much easier for this group of refugees.

It was at this moment that Lin Jinyue heard the system notification.

[System: Congratulations, host, you have obtained 9 horses, 9000 experience points, and leveled up to level 3. (Note: The horses are unconscious; please treat them promptly.)]

Farm Level: 3 (8957/)

Wealth: 2 taels and 248 coins

Lin Jinyue stood up immediately.

Lin Shucheng and Jiang Yun both looked at her with concern.

Lin Jinyue whispered, "Mom, wait a minute, the farm has been upgraded. I need to go check if the toilet paper has been dispensed."

Jiang Yun was amused by her, "You silly child, you're just staring at the toilet paper, looking to see if anything else has been refreshed."

As she spoke, she put down her work and the whole family helped her keep watch.

Lin Jinyue nodded. She had only recently discovered that when she browsed the system's shop, her gaze would become vacant, and no one could get her to respond to her calls.

Lin Jinyue felt truly heartbroken when she thought back on the past few days; going to the toilet every day was torture for her.

When she squatted down, the grass could prick her buttocks.

That's not all; what's even more shocking is that these ancient people actually used wooden sticks to wipe their bottoms after defecating!

Lin Jinyue initially wanted to use that box of silk lavishly, but as she used it, her heart bled. These were all worth as much as real gold and silver.

Finally, seeing that everyone in the village used wooden sticks, she started using them too. But she was always worried about whether the sticks were actually clean, since her shorts were made of silk by her mother.

Before each use, she has to carefully check the wooden stick for barbs, otherwise the experience is truly unpleasant.

After finishing her business, Lin Jinyue looked pale and sickly. She wondered if this upgrade would unlock the toilet paper feature.

Lin Jinyue didn't waste any time and immediately opened the system shop, where she saw several newly unlocked items: [Old Bread], [One Jin of Pork] (limited to 1 jin per day), [Rosemary Paper], [Lotus Seeds] (requires unlocking or digging a pond), [Watermelon Seeds], and [Chili Seeds].

Lin Jinyue bought three coins' worth of toilet paper, which was about an inch thick. It was a yellowish, rough paper, unlike the soft toilet paper in her previous life. It could be written on, but it was still a grade lower than Xuan paper.

However, in ancient times when everything was scarce, this straw paper was much better than using wooden sticks.

Lin Jinyue quickly bought a stack of toilet paper and stuffed a handful into Jiang Yun's hands, her voice full of excitement: "Mom, our system is pretty good. It provides whatever you need. Don't be fooled by how stiff this paper is; you can crumple it up and use it."

Jiang Yun was overjoyed: "I didn't expect there to actually be paper. Quickly give some to your dad and brother, but be sure to hide it well. From now on, we must go to the toilet in pairs, with one of us keeping watch. This paper is of dubious origin, so we don't want to arouse suspicion."

Then she bought a stack of toilet paper. "Here, toilet paper."

The moment Lin Shucheng received the paper, tears welled up in her eyes.

It's no exaggeration of him. Lin Shucheng recounted what happened today: "Today I went to the toilet with someone, and guess what? Someone used a stick to wipe their butt and didn't notice that there was a barb on it. They were screaming in pain. Just thinking about it makes my butt hurt."

The group shuddered. Thank goodness, they could save money on anything but toilet paper.

A stack of them cost twenty coins, but they bought them without hesitation.

Lin Jinyue didn't waste any time; she put the paper into her spatial backpack and immediately went to find the villagers.
