Chapter 39: Scared to the point of weakness



They had finally gotten rid of Lin Youliang, and they couldn't let them get on with them again now.

In ancient times, filial piety was more important than heaven, which was really troublesome.

Of course, Lin Youliang was just one of the reasons why she wanted to leave.

Lin Jinyue continued: "I always feel a little uneasy in my heart. Let's leave early to avoid more trouble later."

Everyone knows that Lin Jinyue's judgment is rarely wrong, and it is definitely right to follow Lin Jinyue.

At this time, a group of people suddenly rushed in from outside. They looked like the group of refugees. Lin Jinyue felt that they looked familiar, but these people actually had wooden sticks in their hands and looked at them with murderous eyes.

Lin Jinyue quickly asked everyone to step back.

Lin Jinyue scolded: "What do you want to do? Eating pine beans is enough to keep you alive, why do you want to come and cause trouble for us?"

The leader said, "You're still eating pine nuts? I can grab fine noodles and rice, why would I eat that? Little girl, what you ate last night was meat pie, right? I've been craving that taste for months."

Lin Jinyue didn't expect that the coin-sized meat pie her mother stuffed into her last night would be remembered.

Does this person have a dog nose?

Over there, someone looked Lin Jinyue up and down, and said frivolously: "Hey, this girl is even more attractive than the one from yesterday. That damn old man should be buried alive! He even let the girl fly away when he was about to get his hands on her."

Lin Jinyue was so disgusted that she said to Lin Xueqing, "This person is so annoying."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Jinyue pulled the trigger of the crossbow and shot directly through the man's arm.

They had never killed anyone before, and they were not sure whether the crossbows and arrows would work at the critical moment. They did not dare to gamble with the lives of the village children.

However, they were lucky. Lin Xueqing's arrow directly pierced the arm of the man who was talking dirty, and the tip of the arrow also injured the person behind him.

Lin Xueqing didn't expect that the crossbow, which was not effective at this time, would be so useful at the critical moment.

Thanks to Lin Jinyue's photographic memory, she made a small car model at home in her previous life and memorized all the car drawings.

If he were not on the road to escape the famine, he really didn't know what he would do if he encountered these desperate people.

At this time, the only sound left in the ruined temple was the howling of the two injured men. Lin Jinyue asked, "Are you still going to fight?"

As soon as Lin Jinyue finished speaking, all the men in Linjia Village took out their crossbows and aimed at the heads of those people.

That group of refugees was quite flexible. When they saw so many crossbow arrows, the two people on the ground didn't dare to scream, for fear of disturbing each other and making them angry. Even if they were injured, they would get up and kneel on the ground to beg Lin Jinyue to let them go.

Lin Jinyue let the women and children go first. Lin Xueqing and the others all held crossbows. After everyone had gone far away, Lin Xueqing led the rest of the people and walked away backwards, with the crossbows still pointing at their heads.

Only after they walked away in the heavy rain did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Lin Jinyue's palms were sweating. The dozen or so men holding crossbows felt their legs go limp and sat down on the ground without caring that the ground was covered with mud.

"Oh my god, I'm so scared. I was really afraid that dozens of people would come over with sticks."

"Yes, my hands are shaking. If they find out that most of those crossbows are unusable, they will definitely pounce on us like hungry wolves. My legs are weak."

Lin Jinyue also breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, everyone understood what she meant. With more than a dozen crossbows pointed at them, who wouldn't be afraid?

However, out of these dozen crossbow arrows, only five were usable, and sometimes they worked and sometimes they didn’t. As for the remaining ten, some were made for children to play with, while others were failures.

Lin Jinyue said to everyone, "From now on, we will have nothing to do with Lin Youliang. Da Ya has been adopted by Uncle Da Zhuang, so we will just pretend that there is no such person as Lin Youliang. Even if we meet him, we will all say that we don't know him."

Everyone agreed, saying that they could not be dragged down by Lin Youliang anymore.

Liu Dazhuang was extremely happy when he had a daughter.

Daya was still weak at the moment, with many injuries on her body, some from being beaten, and some from injuries on the way back. She had lost too much blood in her calves and needed a good rest, so Liu Dazhuang cleared out the cart at home and put Daya on it to lie down.

The few things left were carried by several men of the Liu family. As there was not much food, and their family had no extra food to feed the horses, and they did not want the animals to suffer, Liu Dazhuang dragged the cart and the other brothers of the Liu family led the way.

Lin Jinyue looked at Daya and felt happy for her.

This time, Lin Jinyue deliberately chose to take remote roads, such as those near the City God Temple and abandoned villages. She had gone there before to look for anything left that could be eaten, but now she had to completely avoid them.

That group of refugees was so scary, their eyes were glowing green, as if they were treating them as food.

This time, Lin Jinyue's cognition was refreshed. She originally thought that these people were so hungry that they had to gnaw on tree bark and eat pine nuts. It was miserable enough without water to drink. But she didn't expect that she met indigenous refugees. They were so hungry that they had no humanity. It was really scary to look at them.

Lin Jinyue sighed again, fortunately, fortunately, she has a farm and her parents are with her.

When they reached a slightly drier open space, Lin Jinyue asked everyone to set up camp.

But she couldn't rest at this moment, so Lin Jinyue started thinking about another thing.

What if I encounter these refugees again in the future?

It would be fine if there were only a few people, as they had more than 30 strong men here, and the women and boys were also capable of fighting. But what if they encountered a group of several hundred people fleeing famine?

Those people were so hungry that they would do anything.

Lin Jinyue felt that this group of people looked too well dressed. Their clothes could be a little worn out, but she really couldn't bear to throw them away.

If you take a horse with you when fleeing from a famine, wouldn't that clearly mean "coming to rob us"?

For a time, those horses became hot potatoes.

At this time, Lin Xueqing came over and said, "Little sister, don't think too much. We will have rabbits at the farm tonight."

Lin Jinyue's eyes lit up.

She had been thinking about these things and didn't notice the experience record that popped up in the system. Lin Shucheng and Lin Xueqing were lucky this time and hunted two gray rabbits and a pheasant nearby.

I can have a good meal in the evening.

Lin Jinyue quickly sent Jiang Yun to the farm. They definitely couldn't finish the food in one day, so they had to bandage it and fatten it up before eating.

Lin Jinyue has been very nervous these days. After her father and brother set up the tent, she can finally have a good rest. Lin Jinyue is not in a hurry to enter the farm. She has to wait until it is completely dark before entering the farm.

Her mind was full of wild thoughts. Through the torn tent, she could see the sky full of stars.

Lin Jinyue suddenly remembered that she could make a telescope!

If there was a telescope, Lin Fugui would have been able to see what was happening inside the temple from the tree that day, and he wouldn't have rushed across the temple in such a hurry.

It's just that the materials for telescopes are difficult to obtain. In ancient times, colored glaze was sold at a sky-high price. It was used by the royal family. If ordinary people wanted to buy it, they had to spend real gold and silver, at least several thousand taels of silver.

It is possible to make glass by yourself if there is a system to help identify the raw materials such as feldspar and quartz sand, but the glass manufacturing process is really difficult.
