In fact, Lin Jinyue could feel that the villagers had these ideas all the time, and she was a little hesitant. She wanted this group of people to help with farming to gain experience, but she just wanted to establish a life-and-death friendship with the villagers, and everyone should get along with each other on an equal footing.
Lin Jinyue didn't quite dare to be the clan leader or the chief.
The last time she saw Liu Dazhuang injured, she was horrified. Since then, she didn't dare to arrange people to keep an eye on him on the tree.
She was really under a lot of pressure when everyone in the village was waiting for her to decide whether to stay and wait for Liu Dazhuang.
Even if the Liu family didn't blame him, he would still feel guilty, thinking that he had harmed someone. What if there was such danger again in the future?
To be honest, Lin Jinyue has some kindness in her heart.
But not much.
She didn't want to make trouble for herself. In these troubled times, she was thankful that her family could live well.
Seeing his daughter sighing, Lin Shucheng smiled and said, "Hey, daughter, why are you sighing? Isn't it good to be the clan leader? From now on, dad will rely on you to get by."
The two girls chatted casually and soon saw a village in the distance.
After walking out of the mountains, Lin Jinyue saw that there was a terraced field here. She had only seen it on TV before. Looking at this field, it was really spectacular.
At the foot of the terraced fields, there are several families, all of whom have ordinary farmhouses. Their lives seem ordinary, and I wonder if they can exchange them for some poultry.
Lin Jinyue saw that the time was almost up, so she quickly released her mother while no one was around.
The family of three walked to the door of a farmer's house, and Lin Jinyue showed a kind smile, "You know..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw that the farmers' expressions looked strange and their eyes were ferocious. Not only this family of farmers, but also the young and strong men from several nearby families all picked up their weapons and were ready to attack them.
Lin Shucheng reached a hand into his sleeve, ready to take out the crossbow arrow.
Lin Jinyue also held her father tightly, knowing that they had to leave if the situation was not right.
Lin Jinyue hurriedly said, "Dad, hurry up, run."
It’s really not possible, but it seems possible to escape into space in front of these people.
I just don’t know what kind of punishment the system will have.
However, there are too few villages nearby, and there is only this one. Lin Jinyue: "I still want to struggle and say to them: "Put your things down first. My parents and I have no ill intentions, but..."
Before she could finish, the young men in the village picked up their weapons, each with a ferocious look in their eyes, as if they wanted to devour them.
One of them had a very bad temper and started to curse at them: "You damned bastards, even if we risk our lives, we will drag you down with us!"
"Kill them! Kill them!"
Lin Shucheng came to his senses now: "Wait a minute, you've got the wrong person. I'm not a human trafficker. We're refugees from the north, decent citizens! Look, I brought my daughter with me. Human traffickers are all bad people who got their comeuppance. How could they give away such a pretty daughter?"
Lin Jinyue:......
This is so illogical.
But the villagers all hesitated and put down the weapons in their hands.
The sturdy man in the lead hesitated: "Really?"
Lin Jinyue nodded: "No, my father is an honest farmer, and my mother is a doctor, how could they be such a heartless womanizer?"
The villagers looked at it carefully and found that it was true.
The man in front of him had a gentle temperament. Even though he was wearing the simplest coarse cloth clothes, his temperament, how should I describe it, was like that of a noble man seen in the city.
Especially his wife, who looked like a lady from a noble family, with a scholarly air. When the two of them stood together, they didn't look like those conscienceless human traffickers at all.
Look at this little girl again, she is so fair and pretty, she looks like a young lady from a wealthy family. The human traffickers are reluctant to bring such a pretty girl out. In order to control the child, those people use all kinds of means, which makes people grit their teeth.
Lin Jinyue blinked her big eyes and asked, "How could you mistake us for human teeth?"
It would have been fine if they hadn't asked, but once they did, the villagers became alert again.
A man said, "You are fleeing from famine, how come you still have horses? I heard there is famine and war in the north, how come you can come here so calmly?"
The villagers began to become alert again.
Yes, they said they felt something was weird. They had seen people fleeing famine before. A group of them came a while ago. They were like hungry wolves, and they felt sour when they saw them.
Life in their village was not that rich, but seeing the group of people stuffing their mouths with wheat bran that they were going to feed the chickens, he really couldn't bear it, so he took out some old rice to treat them.
They had never seen refugees as calm as Lin Jinyue's family.
Seeing that there was still room for negotiation, Lin Jinyue told them half-truthfully, "There are more than 70 of us in our group, rushing all the way here from Chong'an County in the north. Life is indeed difficult, but my mother is a good doctor and can earn money, and my father and brother can hunt for money, so we can live a decent life."
Lin Jinyue added: "Uncle and aunt, listen, my father and I both have northern accents, we are real northerners! Even if we are human traffickers, we wouldn't come all the way here to kidnap children!"
At this time, the villagers believed Lin Shucheng's words, and some of them couldn't believe it, "Is this true?"
Lin Shucheng nodded and showed them his crossbow skills.
He just gently pulled the trigger, and with a "whoosh", an arrow flew out and went straight through a tree in the distance.
This is not just to show off one's skills, but also to deter them from doing anything wrong.
Lin Jinyue looked at their terrified expressions and smiled harmlessly: "Aunts, do you believe it now?"
The villagers believed it immediately. With this book, how could they still starve when there was a famine outside?
This place is very remote, with primeval forests and poisonous insects. Even if there is a famine outside, people won't come here to steal food. If they don't even get here, they will probably die on the way.
It is for this reason that every household has some food stored.
Lin Jinyue bought some food from every household. Under normal circumstances, farmers would not sell food for fear of running out of food.
However, they had wrongly blamed Lin Jinyue's family before, so each family took out a pound of grain and sold it to them.
Lin Jinyue saw that this group of people were kind-hearted and the price they sold was not expensive. Compared with the previous price of several taels of silver per pound of rice, they sold it for ten copper coins per pound. They were really kind-hearted.
Lin Jinyue wanted to find out some information, so she gave each family an extra ten cents to build good relationships.
However, they didn't expect that these people were somewhat embarrassed and were already preparing to set up a table and invite them to have a simple meal.
Although it was said to be a simple meal, Lin Jinyue actually saw them preparing to kill a chicken.
She touched her nose, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Just now her father used a crossbow to intimidate them, but these villagers were simple and honest and didn't think about it that way. Instead, after knowing the truth, they sold food to them at a low price. If they paid more, they would even kill chickens.
Lin Jinyue was somewhat uncomfortable with getting along with these people.
It's easy to feel guilty.
Lin Jinyue stopped them from killing the chickens: "No, no, please don't kill the chickens. Food is so precious. Keep it for yourselves. We have food for you."
An auntie smiled so hard that her teeth were showing. She asked her husband to kill a goose and said to Lin Shucheng, "Hey, you guys came to buy food this time and gave us so much extra silver. It can be said that it solved our urgent need. I don't even know what to add to my daughter's dowry."
