In the past few days, Lin Jinyue has come up with a lot of ideas, each of which is useful. For a while, no one looks down on her because of her young age.
Lin Xueqing said that Lin Jinyue also read books when she was young. She had a photographic memory and could understand everything she read after just one reading. For a while, everyone thought that Lin Jinyue was the reincarnation of a god.
There is a rumor in the village that their mother is a lucky star, otherwise why would Lin Laosan break off the marriage for her mother, and their lives suddenly become better? While other families are starving, her family can eat meat.
Look, they haven't separated yet, their daughter has been bullied, and the Lin family has not had a good life.
What's more, she provided them with food to eat, and her family could pick up pheasant eggs every day, which was not possible for other families.
Therefore, many people believed the rumor that Lin Jinyue was a lucky star.
They planned to leave in the early morning of the next day. That night, only the children could get some sleep, as the adults were all busy preparing food for the mountain guards.
Of course, as a child, Lin Jinyue couldn't rest. She had to be watched from the side. She also took out all the food outside the farm space of her own family.
Everyone knew how Shoushan grain was made. It turned out that rice had to be added to it. It turned out that the taste of rice they tasted earlier was not an illusion. Lin Laosan's family had been secretly subsidizing them for a long time.
And those who teach their children:
"From now on, you have to listen to your uncle and sister. They gave you kids your lives. Do you understand?"
"If you can survive in the future, study hard for me. Do you know what you will do in the future when you become successful?"
The little kid's crisp voice came, "Be filial to your elder sister."
Lin Jinyue almost choked while drinking water. What does it mean to be filial to her?
She is only eight years old!
However, Lin Jinyue couldn't stop smiling. Everyone was grateful and accepted the kindness from her family. Their family had received many gifts in the past few days.
Some people made pickled radishes and sent them to her, while others, like Shitou, gave her bird eggs that they had found with great difficulty.
This was also the reason why Lin Jinyue was willing to serve as their mountain guard despite the risk of being given a red card.

Everyone was busy in the first half of the night, but they finished it unexpectedly quickly. In just over an hour, all these things were done. They were spread out on the ground to dry at night, and then distributed a little to each household early the next morning.
Everyone can rest for more than an hour in the second half of the night. Lin Jinyue and her family entered the space where time flows faster and they can sleep for a few more hours.
As soon as they entered the space, they saw a few more rabbits and pheasants in the bare farm, and their fatigue was washed away.
Lin Shucheng even joked: "In your previous life, you and your brother were very competitive. My buddies' children all competed with their fathers, but you didn't. It made me feel worthless."
Then he sighed again: "I didn't expect that after coming to the ancient times, I would be even more useless and have to compete with others for daughters. I can still compete for daughters when I leave the world."
Lin Jinyue laughed: "Haha, you should have said it earlier. If I had said it earlier, when my supervisor blocked my graduation thesis, I should have relied on my father!"
Jiang Yun glared at Lin Shucheng and said, "How can you put pressure on your child like this? Stand up quickly and don't let your daughter suffer. Look, other people's children are sleeping, but your daughter has to work with us and grow up."
Lin Shucheng said quickly, "Yes, yes, I will definitely not let my daughter get tired in the future."
On the first day, before she had slept for long, Lin Jinyue was woken up by a slap: "Yueyue, get up, don't sleep yet."
Lin Jinyue remembered that she had something important to do the next day, so she got up with difficulty. There was no need to be so particular when fleeing from famine.
Avoiding Prince Jing's patrol troops might just be the beginning.
Along the way, everyone was quiet for fear of disturbing others.
It was a quiet night, and they could still hear conversations in a tent not far away.
Dozens of people held their breath.
When Lin Jinyue heard those conversations, she almost exposed the space where she hid her parents and brother.
After they had waited until they were sure that it was just a handover and that they had not been spotted, they tiptoed away.
When they walked a little further away, several people took advantage of the night and ran forward until they were exhausted.
At this moment, the sky was already turning pale.
The people from Linjia Village escaped safely, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, they continued to walk forward. After about half an hour, when it was dawn, someone in the crowd shouted, "Look, there's a fire over there! Someone is setting the mountain on fire!"
Lin Jinyue and the others looked behind them and shuddered.
My goodness, if we had left a little later, we would have either been burned to death or unable to bear the thick smoke in the mountains and been forced out and caught by Prince Jing’s men.
Cold sweat broke out on Lin Jinyue's forehead.
I had heard that Prince Jing was cruel, but I didn't expect that he would set fire to the mountain just for a dozen refugees.
Along the way, everyone was silent.
After passing the official road, Lin Shucheng led a few people into the woods.
Walking all the way south from Nan'an County, Lin Jinyue's feet were covered with blisters, but she didn't say much as it was not convenient for them to rest at the farm at the moment.
They found a place to rest at night. When Lin Jinyue took off her shoes, Jiang Yun felt so distressed. Her feet were full of blisters, and some of the blisters had broken and stuck to her socks.
Jiang Yun applied a medical bandage to her, and Lin Jinyue gasped in pain when she applied the medicine.
But Jiang Yun was heartbroken.
She said, "Let your father carry you tomorrow."
Lin Jinyue shook her head: "Mom, our family is not easy. Dad and brother are very busy. They are also tired carrying so many things."
Jiang Yun sighed: "I don't know when I can walk to Lingnan on foot. It would be great if I could get a horse and donkey cart."
Having said that, it is difficult to find even a donkey cart, let alone a horse-drawn carriage.
The kind that money can't buy.
Lin Jinyue was actually very tired. Thinking about this matter, she fell asleep in a daze.
It was late at night when she was awakened by a loud noise.
When Lin Jinyue woke up, she saw a group of people outside and the bonfire had been put out.
Lin Jinyue was a little surprised: "What is this?"
Lin Shucheng explained to her: "Your uncle Fugui saw a small team transporting food and grass ahead. I guess they are from the enemy. There is not much food and grass, but there are carts and horses. Look, isn't this what you want?"
Lin Shucheng felt distressed when he saw his daughter's soles covered with blisters. The horse was delivered to him, and the team was not large and had no food. There were only about ten people. Wasn't it like delivering the horse to him for him to rob?
This is still Prince Jing's army. Prince Jing is not a human being, so he doesn't feel too much guilt for robbing.
Lin Youcai came over with a cane and said, "Auntie, quickly persuade your father not to have any ideas about the horses and carts. Tomorrow you will ride in our cart and let your uncle Fugui pull it."
He kept muttering, "How can you steal the official's horse? You will be beheaded. You will be beheaded."
Lin Jinyue quickly climbed up the tree and took a look. It was no wonder that her father wanted to rob them. The group of people were lying on the ground and sleeping soundly. The man on night watch also fell asleep on the carriage board.
Lin Jinyue said: "We can't just rob it."
The village chief just breathed a sigh of relief when she continued, "We have to outsmart them."
