Lin Jinyue kept correcting their details about how they addressed each other: "Don't call it a map later. In ancient times, it was called a 'yutu' (舆图). But the situation is urgent right now. Even without a yutu, we have to keep heading south. Let's just get going. Ancient times are not like modern times. You won't get shot for illegally crossing the border."

Jiang Yun was displeased: "We've already left Prince Jing's territory and traveled for more than ten days. How can it be so urgent? It's not that I'm being fussy, but look at my daughter's clothes, which look like dried plums and smell sour, and the scraps of cloth they gave her..."

Jiang Yun gently pinched a corner with her fingers, held it far away, and quickly shook it off when she saw the tiny black dots jumping on it: "There are lice on it!"

Lin Jinyue got goosebumps all over her body.

But what are the conditions right now?

No matter how disgusting or difficult it is, you can only endure it.

Jiang Yun said with a hint of helplessness, "It's so dirty, how can you not get sick? We lack everything here. What if someone gets sick? Old Lin, you have to find a way. At least get some clean clothes, and prepare some commonly used medicinal herbs. It would be best to also get a few silver needles. If you feel unwell, I can give you a few acupuncture needles. That's more effective than medicine."

Lin Xueqing sighed: "But Prince Jing has already attacked. Judging by the time, he has probably already captured Lincheng. Don't be fooled by the fact that it took us more than ten days to get here from Lincheng; they can catch up on horseback in just two days. We don't know how long it will take us to get to Nan'an County..."

Jiang Yun could only resign herself to her fate: "Forget it, as long as he's breathing, that's enough. Don't worry about whether he's sick or not, let's hurry up and get going."

Lin Jinyue and the others also became serious, and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat somber.

It's a real dilemma.

His family had been kicked out by the Lin family. They had almost nothing left, except for the things given to them by the people in Lin Family Village. Thinking about the future, Lin Shucheng was extremely worried.

Lin Shucheng remembered something and asked his daughter, "Honey, you said you could get supplies from the farm, right? Those two eggs were from the farm, weren't they?"

Seeing her mother and brother looking a little confused, Lin Jinyue slapped her forehead: "Look at me, my mood has been all over the place today, from the car accident to fleeing the famine, I've completely forgotten about my golden finger."

Lin Jinyue carefully explained his "golden finger" to his parents and brother, telling them to rest and find food and medicine nearby. Ignoring their astonished expressions, she hurried back into the farm.

She fiddled around on the farm for a while, and with the system's guidance, she gained an understanding of it.

The farm allows you to grow things, and time flows five times faster inside than outside.

In other words, potatoes that take three months to mature outdoors can mature in about twenty days when grown on a farm.

Things from inside the farm can be taken out, and things from outside can be brought in, but there are restrictions.

Her level is too low right now. If she wants to bring things in from outside, she only has a small warehouse of about two square meters to store them.

As you upgrade, you'll be able to bring in more and more items, and after upgrading, you'll also unlock a cold storage warehouse, where items will be exactly the same as what you put in and take out.

In ancient times, when there were no refrigerators and people needed to flee famine, it was quite practical.

However, unlocking the freshness preservation refrigerator is still a long way off.

Upgrading the farm is not difficult either.

You can gain experience by picking plants outside, or by planting and raising animals. The system will also occasionally assign tasks with large reward points.

Lin Jinyue carefully read through the farm's functions and was surprised to find that she could bring people in!

Although no one else could stay on the farm for more than half an hour outside (meaning two and a half hours on the farm), she quickly went out to bring her parents along.

At least coming in to take a shower and eat something hot would be nice.

Jiang Yun was still surprised to see Lin Jinyue emerge from the system space, even though she knew beforehand.

Lin Jinyue briefly explained the effects of the "golden finger" she had just discovered, reassuring her family.

Even in these chaotic times, their family will not starve.

Lin Jinyue then said, "Mom and Dad, sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood. Planting, cultivating, and harvesting will all earn copper coins and experience. Copper coins can be used outside, and we can buy some when the time comes."

Jiang Yun was an impatient person. "Then hurry up and take your dad and brother to farm."

The family arrived at the farm space and exclaimed in amazement.

Jiang Yun ordered her son and husband to work in the fields, while she made some simple grass skirts out of leaves to cover herself. She told everyone to take off their clothes so she could wash them clean by the river.

We're all family, so let's live like primitive people in this space and no one will laugh at anyone else.

Jiang Yun has the original owner's memories. She recalls the pulse patterns the original owner examined, and many of them were caused by eating unclean things, which led to intestinal diseases that could not be effectively treated, resulting in either death or abandonment.

Jiang Yun dared not ignore hygiene issues.

On the other side, Lin Shucheng cleared a small plot of land and planted all the seeds that the system had rewarded him with.

[System: Congratulations on your successful planting! Reward: 70 experience points, 7 copper coins. The system shop is now open.]

Lin Jinyue glanced at the system shop, which was filled with a dazzling array of items, but most of them were still locked and needed to be upgraded to unlock.

Currently, they have unlocked steamed buns, mantou (steamed bread), and some grain seeds, which are the most basic things that can only sustain their survival.

Lin Jinyue wanted to keep some copper coins for emergencies, so she only bought the cheapest steamed buns, spending two coins to buy four coarse flour steamed buns.

The meal cost two coins, and with their money stretched thin, they didn't dare eat too much.

The four of them had been on edge the whole time, and seeing the fragrant white steamed buns in Lin Jinyue's hands, they suddenly felt incredibly hungry.

Each person received a steamed bun and half an egg, which they quickly finished before heading off to cultivate the remaining land. Their time on the farm was limited, and they dared not waste a single second.

Earning more copper coins meant more supplies, increasing their chances of survival in ancient times.

They discovered that the farm followed Lin Jinyue; no matter where the other three entered the farm, wherever Lin Jinyue was, they would appear there.

While they were working on the farm, Lin Jinyue traveled, while the other three farmed and cultivated the land to gain experience points.

Lin Jinyue didn't stay in the space for long. After eating, she started her journey. Along the way, she collected all the mushrooms, fruits, and herbs she saw into the system space, gaining a lot of experience points.

Four days later, around noon, they spotted Nan'an County in the distance.

From afar, Nan'an County appeared peaceful and serene. The guards at the gate were dressed in the uniforms of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the people could freely enter and leave the city. The guards even had the leisure to drink.

The family breathed a sigh of relief. Prince Jing hadn't attacked yet, so the town was safe for the time being. They also took the opportunity to buy some supplies for their journey.

Lin Jinyue checked the money she had left in the system.
