Lin Jinyue also instructed, "We'll all wash up in a bit. We're all covered in the smell of cooking oil. Luckily, we have a change of clothes."
The family ate and drank to their hearts' content in the space, and then took a hot shower.
Although the farm is not as modern as it is now, it is much more comfortable than outside.
Things are inconvenient to take with them from outside, so villagers are very careful when using firewood and dare not use too much.
It's a different story on a farm.
They come in for two and a half hours every night, and after the system's cooldown period is over, they come in again at four or five in the morning to chop wood and boil water. They can use it however they want, and the firewood is placed aside, so it doesn't take up much space.
The flow rate inside is five times that outside. They can work for an hour and then take a nap inside, have breakfast, and sleep and work at the same time without being discovered.
In the morning, the family woke up feeling refreshed, especially since they had eaten meat pies earlier that morning, even though each pie only contained a tiny bit of minced meat.
Lin Jinyue took a nap, still savoring the aroma of the meat pie.
The aroma of rice wafted in from outside, as wives from various households were cooking breakfast.
Just then, a quarrel broke out.
"Lin Lao Er, have you no shame?"
"If you get on, where will we put our grain and luggage? This is a cart that your family worked so hard to bring back. Don't you care about the horse?"
“Why not just squeeze in with someone else? My second brother had a high fever earlier and barely survived. What’s wrong with him riding a cart for a bit? We’re all from the same village, we can’t be so heartless.”
"You want to squeeze in with the rest of us? Don't even think about it. There aren't enough people for one cart for about ten of us. How heartless can you be?"
The argument raged outside, and Lin Jinyue lifted the curtain to take a look.
She asked, somewhat puzzled, "Didn't we kick him out? Why is he still shamelessly asking to ride in our cart? What will we do if Marco gets exhausted?"
The man arguing with Lin Lao Er immediately realized what was happening.
Yes, they all drove Lin Youliang's family away!
It's also because other people are noisy. They say things like, "Your luggage is a pound too much," or "My luggage isn't big enough to fit in. If we put too much stuff in, the horse will be exhausted."
They were so angry that morning that they didn't even realize what was happening, and they didn't even need to think about Lin Youliang's family.
Lin Jinyue sat to the side, munching on sunflower seeds and watching the commotion.
You know, people are strange. Before, when there were no carts or horses, they carried their luggage and walked very fast. Now that they have them, they're arguing.
Lin Jinyue ignored them and secretly ate a piece of fried dough twist for breakfast inside the tent.
She then studied the map with Lin Shucheng.
This is the most important thing right now.
This map was on the body of the group of people transporting supplies; it was a simple, crudely drawn map.
Ancient maps are different from modern ones. Modern maps have a standard scale and are supported by artificial satellites, so they can display mountains, rivers, and everything else.
This ancient map was drawn privately and is quite hastily, but you can see Yangzhou and Fuzhou to the south, and there is the sea next to Fuzhou.
However, looking at this map, Lin Jinyue had a better idea of what was going on. The map looked similar to her previous life, probably a different time and space in a parallel world. And as long as Lingnan was near the sea, everything would be fine.
No matter how the Great Xia Dynasty fights, they immediately build ships as soon as they arrive in Lingnan. If the war spreads to Lingnan, they will immediately flee to the small islands outside when the enemy attacks.
The family of four was inside discussing their escape route when there was a huge commotion outside.
Lin Youcai, as the village chief, was also very annoyed: "How many times have I said it? We're fleeing famine, we can't fight amongst ourselves!"
"What's all the fuss about? Just take turns herding the horses, won't that solve the problem? And you, Boss Lin, get out of here! How dare you be so shameless? You think you can take advantage of us after we've driven you away? Believe me, we'll tie you to a tree and leave you to fend for yourselves in a bit."
Lin Youcai was completely enraged this time.
Lin Jinyue didn't bother discussing the route anymore and just poked her head out to watch the commotion. If even a kind-hearted person like Lin Youcai could get angry, how much more outrageous must her grandfather's family have been?
In the end, Lin Youliang's family really had no other choice.
Lin Youliang, an old man, knelt on the ground wiping away tears. “Brother, I don’t want to argue. If a grown man argues about everything, wouldn’t that make him a laughingstock? But my wife passed away early, and my family is poor. I can’t find a second wife. I have to be both father and mother to my child… Brother, my heart is full of bitterness.”
In short, Lin Youliang played the victim and made various promises that he would not cause trouble or talk too much, which softened Lin Youcai's heart and made him agree to let them go with him.
They didn't walk together, but followed behind. Anyway, they went hunting and farming in the mountains, and as long as they followed the third brother's family, the spoils they received had nothing to do with Lin Youliang.
If they're willing to carry people on their carts, that's out of kindness; if they're not, Lin Youliang can't say anything.
Lin Jinyue listened from inside the house. She had originally planned to threaten Lin Youcai if he didn't handle the situation properly. It seemed that every time she had a conflict with Lin Youliang's family these past few days, she had said that she would break up and go her separate ways. The village chief was afraid and didn't dare to let Lin Youliang's family cause trouble.
Lin Jinyue felt the result was good, and it was time to set off.
She glanced at the weather forecast; it was a newly unlocked feature of the system.
This was alarming; it was going to rain heavily in an hour.
Seeing that Lin Youliang was still trying to bargain, Lin Jinyue shouted to Lin Fugui, "Uncle Fugui, forget about them. It's about to rain. Let's pack our things and leave quickly."
Upon hearing this, everyone was too busy to argue anymore.
They had suffered greatly during their more than a month of fleeing famine, and their biggest fear was rain.
