Lin Jinyue was woken up by the cold.
When I opened my eyes, I saw an unfamiliar environment. There were mountains and forests all around. There were many ragged people lying on haystacks. They were all skinny and had numb expressions on their faces.
She remembered that before she fell into a coma, she was traveling with her parents, brother and their family of four. In order to avoid a huge rock rolling down the mountain, her father's hands shook and he drove the car off the cliff.
I thought the whole family was doomed to die, but I didn't expect that she was still alive.
Seeing that the clothes of the people around her were tattered and looked like the coarse linen clothes of ancient times, Lin Jinyue thought that they were rescued by the crew of some costume drama, and looked everywhere for her parents and brother.
Lin Jinyue was about to ask something when she felt a splitting headache. A memory that did not belong to her popped into her mind, and she immediately realized that she had probably traveled through time.
And I was quite unlucky, I traveled through time and space and was in chaos.
The rebels were completely devoid of conscience. They burned, killed, and looted wherever they went. They captured men as slaves and the women as military prostitutes.
In order to avoid the rebels, the people of Qianzhu Village and Linjia Village fled all the way north to escape famine.
They had been on the run for a month and were now out of ammunition and food.
Lin Jinyue almost fainted when she smelled the stench of not taking a bath for a long time.
Lin Jinyue's head felt dizzy and she heard the voices of people around her.
"Third brother, don't waste time. Everyone in the village is waiting for you. There is a county town ahead. If we sell Erya now, we can exchange it for some food and go into the city to treat Tiezhu."
"She's just a little girl. Now Master Xu is willing to pay twenty taels of silver. When our family gets through this difficult time, we'll find you a wife. You can have as many children as you want."
"Give me a definite answer whether you will sell it or not. Our master is in a hurry to go to Nan'an County."
Finally, an old voice made the decision: "Okay, it's settled. Sell Erya to Master Xu for twenty taels of silver, which is enough for our family to survive."
Lin Jinyue shuddered when she heard these voices.
According to the mistress's memory, this did not mean selling her to Master Xu as a maid or slave. At least that would be a way out.
Mr. Xu was a wealthy man in the village, but on the road to escape famine, money was useless if he couldn't buy food.
So the Xu family paid a high price to buy the child as food.
In times of famine, exchanging children for food was very common. Selling a child could get them 20 taels of silver, which was enough for them to live comfortably for several years. The Lin family became interested.
Lin Jinyue felt a chill at the thought of such a disgusting way to die. It would be worse than dying in a car accident.
Lin Jinyue raised her head and looked at her father, Lin Laosan, who was also her biological father.
The two looked at each other, and both were stunned for a moment.
——This skinny farmer looks 70% like her father!
——This skinny little girl looks exactly like his daughter when she was a child!
Lin Laosan, or Lin Shucheng, who had a changed heart, looked at the little girl who looked exactly like his own daughter. He didn't care about the dangerous situation. He picked up the shovel beside him and stood in front of Lin Jinyue.
He shouted at the crowd: "Whoever dares to sell my daughter, I will fight him to the death!"
Everyone in the Lin family looked stunned.
Obviously they didn't expect that the usually honest and silent Lin Laosan would go against them for a little girl!
Lin Jinyue's grandfather Lin Youliang had an angry look on his face: "Third brother, how can you talk like that? Your son and his wife have a high fever, and they can be buried right away, but are you willing to bury Tiezhu? What nonsense are you talking about? Send Erya to Master Xu right away! If you delay any longer, Master Xu will die!"
Lin Youliang spoke in a strong tone, and everyone in the Lin family looked at him with condemning eyes.
Lin Shucheng was not afraid at all. He raised the shovel and was about to swing it. He looked fierce: "Whoever dares to hit my daughter, I will take you with me even if I die!"
Lin Shucheng's ruthlessness frightened the entire family, and the villagers who wanted to stop the fight did not dare to step forward.
How could the Lin family bear the fact that the twenty taels of silver were just gone like that?
Lin Youliang was so angry that he kicked Lin Shucheng out of the Lin family on the spot and did not leave them any food or water.
Lin Jinyue was pushed away by Boss Lin with a slap, and the dirty, smelly bedding under her was pulled away.
The master was weak and Lin Jinyue fell to the ground at once.
How could Lin Shucheng bear to see his daughter being bullied?
He kicked Boss Lin on the butt, and then kicked him hard, causing Boss Lin to fall to the ground.
Lin Shucheng stood beside Lin Jinyue with a shovel in his hand, looking as if he would kill anyone who dared to come forward.
Lin Youliang said, "Pooh!" "What bad luck! How could I give birth to an unfilial son like you? You disobey your own father for a little girl."
The Lin family cursed as they moved their belongings to an open space about ten meters away from them.
Seeing Lin Lao San's ferocious appearance, Lin Jinyue's heart sank. She had originally thought that if she could travel through time, maybe her parents and brother could too.
But her father was usually a gentle and tactful person, and was definitely not the reckless man who was ready to start a fight with a shovel.
The two looked at each other, and no one spoke.
Lin Jinyue looked at the two people lying on the ground. The woman looked a bit like her mother, and the boy looked exactly like her brother when he was a child.
Finally, Lin Jinyue held on to a glimmer of hope and asked tentatively, "Dad?"
Lin Shucheng's body trembled, and he looked at the little girl, "Yueyue?"
The father and daughter exchanged secret codes and breathed a sigh of relief together.
The man who had shown a fierce look just now now had red eyes and was out of control while holding his daughter.
He kept muttering, "Luckily I am here, fortunately, fortunately, these beasts..."
If only his daughter traveled through time and faced such a cruel family, if she was really taken away to be exchanged for silver and cooked and eaten, Lin Shucheng would not be able to rest in peace even as a ghost.
Lin Jinyue also breathed a sigh of relief and patted her father on the back, feeling a little scared at the same time. Fortunately, it was okay.
After a while, Lin Shucheng let her go and wiped his face embarrassedly.
Only at this moment did Lin Jinyue see the familiar father. Even though he was wearing tattered linen clothes, she could still feel his gentleness and reliability.
Lin Jinyue thought of the two people lying on the ground, and lowered her voice to Lin Shucheng: "Dad, you said we are all here, are mom and brother also..."
Lin Shucheng thought of his wife and son, and hurriedly said, "Yueyue, check on them first. What's going on? We need to cure them quickly. We can't delay it for too long."
Lin Jinyue's mother is a descendant of a family of traditional Chinese medicine and has superb medical skills. She studied with them for a few years when she was a child and can recognize medicinal materials and treat simple symptoms.
She felt their pulses, looked at their tongues and eyes, and frowned, "This is a poisonous insect bite. Dad, you stay here and watch. I'll go get some snake bed."
When Lin Jinyue stood up, she was still a little unsteady. When she relaxed, she belatedly realized that she was hungry.
She didn't dare to go far and stayed within Lin Shucheng's sight.
She found two Cnidium monnieri in a remote corner.
Lin Jinyue was lucky and found some herbs to treat wounds, including some Hedyotis diffusa.
There are many snakes, insects, rats and ants on the road of fleeing famine, so she has to prepare more of this kind of medicinal herbs.
When Lin Jinyue was about to go back, a mechanical voice sounded in her mind.
