Chapter 33 Filtered Water



How can breaking a leg be enough? That means the old man who is full of bad intentions and always wants to blackmail others morally should be plagued by illness and suffer in agony for the rest of his life.

They tinkered around on the farm for a while before being kicked out because the two and a half hours were up.

No one slept these days. Lin Jinyue and Jiang Yun slept in the carriage, while Lin Xueqing and Lin Shucheng set up the tent and took a nap.

The next day, Lin Jinyue was woken up.

Lin Youliang's family shouted at the top of their lungs: "Why, are you still going to tie us up? We are all from the same village. Lin Fugui, you still have to call me uncle. Please don't do such a treasonous thing!"

"What are you arguing about? You can eat or not. Don't use this to threaten us. Your whole family has bad character and you only cause trouble along the way. Do you think we want to take you guys, a bunch of burdens, with us?"

"You shameless bastards, you can even lay your hands on your own niece. You shameless old bastards, it's embarrassing to bring you along."

Lin Youliang's family's faces turned pale.

Lin Youliang also said: "What do you know?"

At this time Lin Youcai asked their family to go alone, but Lin Youliang was not happy.

He wants to stay and take advantage, but he is unwilling to be honest.

Lin Jinyue and the others looked at this scene with a sense of watching the fun.

Anyway, her family doesn't care about this matter. It depends on whether the villagers can tolerate them. She doesn't want to be the bad guy.

Blacksmith Li and his family also came out to watch the fun. Seeing how fiercely they were fighting among themselves, they once again felt that their decision this time was really too hasty.

Blacksmith Li shook his head, sighed, and whispered to his wife, "I can't stand this group of people. The little girl in charge is still standing there watching the fun. If it were me, I would have stopped them this morning."

His wife Liu glared at him and said, "Now that we are here, how dare you bring your family with you to the country?"

Blacksmith Li muttered quietly: "But I still think that a girl under ten years old is really unreliable."

However, Liu trusted Jiang Yun very much. Blacksmith Li didn't say anything else, but just shook his head. He still didn't think much of this group of people. They had all fled from the famine, and Lin Youliang's family was making such a fuss, but this group of people actually took them with them.

At this moment, the people in Linjia Village are still arguing.

Lin Fugui even leaned over and said to Lin Shucheng: "Third brother, it's not that I don't give you face, it's just..."

Lin Shucheng waved his hands repeatedly, "No, don't worry about me. I know my father's temper. If they still don't want to separate, let's just go forward in a quarter of an hour. I'll find a suitable place to put them down. We've done our best."

In the past, the villagers would still take into account the feelings of their fellow villagers. After all, they had gone through all the hardships together.

But now, everyone feels that Lin Youliang's family is a hot potato, not to mention, they can't cause any more trouble for Lin Laosan's family.

Everyone is not blind and can see the care and plans Erya has for everyone, as well as the money Lin Laosan has spent on everyone.

Lin Youcai was usually indecisive, but at this moment he was very determined. He decided that either he would tie them up and throw them into the wilderness, or he would be tied up and taken away.

Lin Youliang, Lin Lao Da, Lin Lao Er and the other two were tied up, with cloth stuffed in their mouths, unable to speak. After hearing the villagers' resolute words and seeing that they could not offer sympathy, they stood up with twisted faces, meaning that they would follow everyone else.

Those eyes were still staring at the bowl.

But no one is willing to serve them now. What have they been doing?

Lin Shucheng was very satisfied with the village chief's approach. Everyone took a step back. Since the daughter said they couldn't disband, then they didn't.

The group then continued to move forward.

Every once in a while, Lin Jinyue would use a silver needle to probe the water.

In fact, there are many poisons that cannot be detected by silver needles. Lin Jinyue relies entirely on the system, which can detect whether the water quality is safe to drink, whether it is poisonous or simply of poor quality.

Now there were many people, including the blacksmith Li's family and Lin Youliang's family who were tied up on the street. There were nearly eighty people in total on the road.

Lin Jinyue didn't dare to take the risk of taking the water out of the water bag.

After walking for another three days, everyone began to panic again.

The water is running out.

Along the way, let alone a village, there was not even a shadow of a person to be seen. Everywhere seemed desolate. The further south they went, the denser the woods became, and the more difficult it became for them to walk.

It was also in the evening, while it was still light, that everyone set up camp and determined the scope. Lin Fugui led his men to sprinkle medicine powder around.

This is a medicinal powder specially made by Jiang Yun. It has a pungent smell and wild beasts, snakes, insects, rats and ants will take a detour when they smell it.

After they arrived in the south, no one knew the way and they had to take the official road. If they encountered a situation where it was inconvenient to light a bonfire, they would sprinkle this powder.

When I used it for the first time, it was pitch black at night. I couldn’t see my hand in front of me. Listening to the howling of wild beasts was so terrifying that no one could sleep. How terrifying was it?

However, at dawn the next day, I saw the wild beasts retreating. After coming here a few times, I got used to it.

Everyone prepared these things quickly, but everyone had a numb look on their faces.

There is no water.

Every time they walked to a stream or a river, Lin Jinyue would take the silver needle and check it over, and every time she would say that it was not drinkable.

Lin Jinyue was more anxious than them. Seeing that the water supply was running out, she was worried that they would be too thirsty to drink the stream water. Lin Jinyue started to have a headache.

Lin Shucheng and the others were still thinking about how to get the stream water out, and without being warned, Lin Jinyue saw the charcoal brought out by Li the blacksmith's family.

Lin Jinyue quickly found the Wang family in the village who were skilled in carpentry, and asked them to quickly make a simple shelf. Lin Jinyue also drew a blueprint.

The Wang family is usually the least valued by the village chief. If there is any important matter, they will not be asked to help.

They always felt uncomfortable, and when the men of the Wang family saw Lin Jinyue assigning them tasks, they patted their chests and promised to do them.

Lin Jinyue gestured with them the approximate length and then went to find blacksmith Li.

Blacksmith Li was arguing with his wife.

Blacksmith Li wanted to throw away the charcoal, saying it was troublesome, but his wife Liu said that the charcoal was old charcoal and she couldn't bear to throw it away.

Lin Jinyue came over and smiled sweetly: "Uncle Li, can you give me two pieces of charcoal? I can use them very much."

Hearing that it was very useful, Liu said, "How much do you want? I'll give you this bag."

Lin Jinyue smiled with her eyebrows curved: "Thank you, auntie."

Blacksmith Li was surprised. What does Lin Jinyue want to do with the charcoal? What is the use of charcoal in such hot weather?

At this time, many people gathered around Lin Jinyue, and she explained to them: "This stone must be cleaned, and the charcoal powder must not be saved. Try to grind it as finely as possible."

As she spoke, she took out a jar with a broken bottom, put two layers of clean cotton cloth underneath, then put clean sand and gravel into it, and put another layer of cotton cloth on it.

This confused everyone. What was Lin Jinyue going to do?

Lin Jinyue added layer after layer of cotton cloth, sand and gravel, and also put charcoal in it until the jar was full.

"Er Ya, what are you doing?"

Lin Jinyue: "Filtered water, Dad, please fetch a bucket of water."

Lin Youcai said quickly: "Oh, how can we drink this? It's full of dirt. Look how much we've wasted the charcoal. We can still use it in Lingnan in the middle of winter."

Lin Jinyue said, "The winter in Lingnan is warm too, so we don't need it. I can filter the water. The water now is totally undrinkable, but we can't be thirsty all the way. If we don't filter the water, we don't know if we can survive to Lingnan."

"Is this really possible?"
