Lin Youcai showed no mercy: "Tiezhu is a scholar after all, and he helped us. Now we want to ask Lao San to take us with him. If you still have this bad temper and love to gossip and throw dirty water on Lao San's family, why don't you go with us to Lingnan, so as not to drag us down. Tiezhu's mother won't let us villagers treat you later."
There is something that Lin Youcai can't say.
Usually when Lin Laosan is at home, he is treated like a slave. The whole family bullies the third branch of the family because they are honest and have no temper. But even clay people have tempers, and they will definitely make a fuss if they are provoked.
Now if they want to survive, they have to ask Lin Shucheng's family for help.
Tiezhu was well-educated and could analyze the situation, and his mother knew a little bit of medical skills. More importantly, they knew some herbs and could exchange them for food.
If they could ask Lin Laosan's family to take them with them on the way to escape famine, their chances of survival would be much greater.
But Lin Youliang was acting so arrogantly that before they could say anything, Lin Laosan was so angry that he left.
Lin Youcai didn't want to be dragged down by them, but they were from the same village and were cousins, so he couldn't just abandon them and pick them up right now.
Listening to the village chief's persuasion, Lin Youliang snorted coldly but did not refute.
Lin Laosan is usually a taciturn person. He never says anything and just does whatever he is told to do.
Now he didn't even dare to take up a knife to chop them.
Lin Youliang couldn't accept this change and was very unhappy because he was his biological father!
Is there such a rebellious son?
After all, he is his biological son, and the relationship between father and son must have been sown by that restless daughter-in-law. Lin Youliang saw that the villagers were divided into two groups, one went to the north, and the other decided to ask Lin Laosan's family for help every day.
He thought, we are all family, even if our bones are broken, our tendons are still connected. He would talk to the third brother properly and he would definitely stand on his side.
Lin Youliang covered his stomach, he was so hungry that he felt dizzy. Seeing that other people had multi-grain cakes in their hands, he began to think that since the third brother could give so many cakes to the villagers, he must have a lot of good things on him.
After all, he is Lin Laosan’s biological father. How can a son ignore his father?
That would be like being stabbed in the spine!
Lin Jinyue didn't care whether people would talk about her behind her back or not. She was currently exchanging two leaky oil-paper umbrellas with someone at the city gate.
It was at this moment that she heard a sharp alarm from the system.
[System: Beep - beep - alarm, alarm, Prince Jing's army will attack in half an hour, please escape to a safe place as soon as possible. ]
[System: Didi - Please escape as soon as possible. ]
Lin Jinyue was so scared that the oil-paper umbrella in her hand fell.
Jiang Yun was worried: "Daughter, what's wrong?"
Lin Jinyue was startled, and heard the system alarm again: "Mom, Prince Jing's army will be here soon, let's run."
Lin Shucheng, who was exchanging things with someone nearby, cursed in a low voice: "Why am I so unlucky."
It couldn’t have come earlier or later, but it has to come now.
Seeing that the people of Linjia Village were still hesitating at the city gate, Lin Shucheng quickly shouted: "Village head, Brother Fugui, get up, people in the city are saying that Prince Jing is about to attack, you should leave quickly."
Upon hearing this, the villagers stopped arguing and the village chief picked up his bag and followed Lin Jinyue's family in the direction of leaving.
Prince Jing is cruel.
There was a severe drought in March and food was in short supply everywhere. If Prince Jing's men ran out of food, they would resort to cannibalism. They even called the prisoners "two-legged sheep" and divided them into three grades and nine levels. The meat of old men was of poor quality, while the meat of young women and children was tender and fresh, and was usually given to the soldiers.
How dare I stay any longer now?
Only Lin Youliang's family cursed: "Who knows whether what you said is true or not, don't tell us that you are deliberately deceiving us."
But no one paid any attention to them, and they all ran away in a hurry.
Seeing that the villagers had abandoned them, Lin Youliang became so angry that he started cursing.
He wanted to go against Lin Jinyue, but he didn't expect that many people in the city ran out.
For a moment they were panicked and hurried to catch up with Lin Shucheng's family.
Nan'an County soon fell into chaos.
They finally arrived at Nan'an County and saw some hope. This place was already outside of Prince Jing's territory, and they could reach the capital if they just waited a little longer.
Who knew Prince Jing could fight so quickly.
When people around heard Lin Shucheng's shout, they panicked and ran away in a hurry. Some even took advantage of the chaos to steal food and supplies from others.
There was chaos outside the city and several children from the Lin family were trampled.
Where had Lin Youliang's family ever seen such a scene?
Even though they were dizzy with hunger, the whole family ran for their lives.
However, they subconsciously followed the direction of the people from Linjia Village, which was towards the south.
From afar, I saw Prince Jing coming with his army.
Lin Youliang’s eyes went dark and he almost fainted.
Boss Lin said hurriedly: "Dad, let's go hide first. There's a lot of dust over there, so they may not be able to see us. That cave..."
The whole family was in a panic, and Lin Youliang even lost one of his shoes.
The other side.
Lin Jinyue was also in a state of chaos, and they kept running south.
Halfway through the run, he realized that he might encounter Prince Jing's army.
Lin Jinyue planned to hide in the woods, and then take a detour to find a chance to avoid Prince Jing's men.
Behind them followed the people from Linjia Village.
Lin Jinyue didn't expect them to follow her. Before she could say anything, the village chief Lin Youcai grabbed her wrist and said, "Erya, come with us and hide. If we take the official road, we will be caught sooner or later. We found a very hidden cave here a few days ago."
The person next to him also said: "It will definitely not be discovered there, there is clean water, and maybe the medicinal herbs you want."
When Lin Jinyue heard that there were medicinal herbs, she decided to go there together.
This precious medicinal ingredient is more important than anything else and cannot be bought even with money.
They followed the village chief and walked around for a long time before they arrived at a secret cave entrance.
The entrance to the cave is not big, only enough for two people to pass through. There is a huge tree outside that directly blocks half of the entrance. There are also vines and shrubs next to the entrance. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell that there is a cave here.
The village chief took them in and said to them, "Don't worry, no one will find us here. Besides, if we climb up the tree, we can see Nan'an County in the distance. If there are soldiers on the road, we can also see them and turn around to let Fugui keep an eye on them."
The inside of the cave was quite large, more than enough to accommodate the forty or so people from their village.
Everyone was running so hard that their legs were about to break, but now they were relaxing. Lin Jinyue lay on the ground, not wanting to move at all.
Others weren't much better.
The village chief, however, finally spoke out what was in his heart after holding it in for a long time.
Lin Youcai sighed, "Third brother, we just want a way to survive. Tiezhu is right, the current emperor is unreliable. Prince Jing has already attacked Nan'an County. After thinking about it, I'm afraid Lingnan is the best place to go. Well, all of us want to go to Lingnan, why don't we go together so that we can take care of each other on the road?"
