"Distribute porridge?"

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Zhao could no longer sit still. She struggled to get up from the cart and gave instructions to Zhang.

"Yizhang's mother, hurry, hurry! Get the bowl out, let's go line up for porridge too, or there won't be any left."

Lin Shuo quickly helped his mother up. "Mother, neither Young Master Yun nor the village chief told us to line up. Let's settle down first and find out the situation before we do anything else."

Grandma Zhao glanced at the others in the line. Everyone was looking towards the porridge distribution area, but since the village chief hadn't given any instructions, no one dared to leave the line without permission.

Soon, the village chief's son, Lin Fu, came and called Lin Yiheng away.

Five scholars from the village were chosen to go to the city with the Yun family to gather information, while the rest stayed behind to rest.

"What are you doing? Let go of my sister!" Liu Ji's anxious voice came from behind.

Lin Yinan looked in the direction of the sound and saw two sleazy-looking refugees, one holding Liu Yu and the other holding Liu Ji.

Lin Yi'an, holding Lin Yichun, and Lu Changqing, the three of them were so frightened that they quickly ran towards her.

"Sister, someone is trying to take Ayu away."

Along the way, the little ones developed a very good relationship with Liu Ji and his sister.

Lin Shuo and Grandma Zhao quickly shielded the three children behind them.

Liu Ji had already broken free. Lin Yinan ran over, kicked the refugee who was clinging to Liu Ji away, and drew her sword, holding it to the neck of the refugee who was hugging Liu Yu.

"No, don't be impulsive, I'll release them right away."

The refugee was so frightened that he pushed Liu Yu away and raised his hands, "Grandma, can you take your sword away now?"

Lin Yinan flicked his wrist, raised his sword, and the refugee's bloodied ear flew off.

"ah!"

The refugee cried out in pain and quickly covered his bloodied ear with his hand.

"Get out!" Lin Yinan shouted coldly.

Her tactic of making an example of someone to deter others successfully frightened the surrounding refugees who harbored wicked intentions and were ready to commit crimes.
