Lin Jinyue remembered Hu Sanye's favor.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lin Jinyue prepared to leave, as they wouldn't be able to get back in time if they stayed any longer.
*
When Lin Jinyue left the city, she felt that something was wrong, something strange that she couldn't quite put her finger on.
I always feel uneasy.
They were walking along a side path, and when they looked back, they always felt like someone was behind them.
At this moment, the system also alerted Lin Jinyue that she was being watched.
Lin Jinyue whispered to her parents, "Dad, Mom, we think we're being watched. These people are really annoying. How about we take a detour and get past them before heading to the farm?"
But Jiang Yun said, "But we still have to come back and take the boat. There will be so many people there, and we don't know what they want to do."
Lin Jinyue then asked the system and learned that there were three people over there. There weren't many of them, but they all had weapons.
That makes things easier.
Lin Jinyue walked ahead and took a secluded path, and the three of them followed.
Lin Jinyue took her mother to the farm and even sent the horses there.
The three were frantically searching when they were hit by a piece of wood thrown from a tree, leaving them dizzy.
Lin Shucheng tied them to the tree.
Lin Jinyue even kicked him a few times, saying, "Let's see you try to rob me, let's see you rob me!"
The three were tied to a tree; the place was rather remote.
After Lin Jinyue calmed down, she said, "We won't kill anyone. You can stay here and leave your fate to fate. We'll see if anyone comes tomorrow."
The three of them cried out, "No, no, no! The poisonous mosquitoes here at night can kill us half to death. Please, spare our lives!"
Lin Jinyue ignored her completely.
They dared to set their sights on them; how could we let them off so easily?
Lin Jinyue only let them go after the three men had emptied all the silver in their pockets and almost even taken off their coarse clothes.
However, instead of untying the rope directly, they threw a shard of porcelain near their feet. By the time they managed to cut the rope little by little using the shard, Lin Jinyue and the others had already arrived home.
Lin Shucheng rode back to the mountain village with his daughter.
Last time, they didn't have an accurate map and took a long detour. This time, Lin Shucheng, along with his daughter and wife, rode at full speed and arrived that evening.
Looking at the mountain stronghold from afar, Lin Jinyue then put the things piled up in the space onto the cart.
Upon entering the mountain village, I was surprised to hear the sound of someone reading aloud.
Lin Jinyue was stunned for a moment.
When I went inside, I saw Old Tan holding a book, teaching the village children to read, both boys and girls.
To Lin Jinyue's surprise, her brother was also forced to write large characters there, and at this moment he looked utterly hopeless.
Lin Jinyue couldn't help but laugh when she saw it.
Her brother was the only one in the family who was educated. However, since the core of the body was a modern person, although they both had the memories of the original owners in their minds, Lin Tiezhu had only studied for two years. During those two years, he also had to help with farm work. The family couldn't afford to buy books, and he couldn't recognize many characters.
Lin Xueqing's handwriting was also incomplete, making Old Tan frown.
Right now, his handwriting is being corrected one by one. Old Tan even gave him a set of writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, saying that he was determined to correct his handwriting.
Lin Xueqing felt somewhat helpless. He did want to learn how to write ancient characters, but not now.
Now he's busy teaching martial arts to the villagers, so he can't delay their progress.
Old Tan sighed as he looked at Lin Xueqing.
However, when he turned around, he saw Lin Jinyue and Jiang Yun, and his face lit up with a smile.
Lin Shucheng then went over and talked to him about the situation at the foot of the mountain. The silver notes couldn't be used, so they were exchanged for silver coins, but there were only thirty taels. He bought a lot of medicinal herbs for him, so he could take advantage of these few days to recuperate.
Old Tan couldn't help but say, "These past few days, I've been drinking the medicine according to the prescription, and I feel much better, as if I've returned to what I was twenty years ago."
Seeing him like this, Lin Jinyue felt relieved and put away the thousand-year-old ginseng. She smiled and said, "Grandpa Tan, I'll teach you the Five Animal Frolics and the Eight Pieces of Brocade tomorrow. You'll definitely recover faster."
As she spoke, Lin Jinyue rummaged through the medicine her mother had bought for Old Master Tan.
She smiled and said, "Grandpa Tan, before we leave, we'll definitely make sure you get your health in order. By the way, it's probably not a good idea to stay in this village for too long. There's a county called Yunsong nearby, which has a very good security. Yesterday... no, my dad met a wealthy merchant there. You can ask them to help send a message to your daughter."
Oh dear, all these favors have been used up, otherwise Lin Jinyue would really have felt that the thousand-year-old ginseng was too hot to handle.
After she accepted the thousand-year-old ginseng, the system immediately gave her a large amount of experience points and also gifted her a lot of ginseng seeds. It seems she'll have to plant them as soon as she enters the space next time.
However, when Old Tan heard Lin Jinyue's words, he was slightly taken aback. He immediately understood what Lin Jinyue meant: she wanted to part ways with him.
Old Tan was a little anxious, but he knew that now was not the time to say these things.
Lin Jinyue and Lin Shucheng are distributing the items they brought back.
Old Tan was somewhat surprised. They clearly didn't have much money. Before leaving, every household was pooling their money to ask Lin Shucheng to help them buy food, each person taking out a few copper coins at a time. They didn't have much money, but Lin Jinyue was able to bring so many delicious dishes. You have to know that food is incredibly expensive these days.
At this moment, Lin Xueqing also came over, quickly put down the book in her hand, and asked Lin Jinyue in a low voice, "Have you bought all the feldspar?"
Lin Jinyue nodded: "I bought them all. It's not a large quantity. Qingquan Town is a bit small, but it should be enough. We'll make them at the farm later when we get there, so that Old Tan won't notice anything amiss. They're not as easy to fool as the villagers."
As she was speaking, Lin Shucheng took out all the things he had purchased: clothes, snacks, and jewelry—a dazzling array.
When everyone saw the pile of food wrapped in thick cotton cloth, their eyes lit up.
Lin Jinyue said to everyone, "This was given by an uncle. Everyone, please eat first. Don't worry about food later. The price of food here is not too expensive, and we will be able to reach Yunhe Village soon."
Lin Jinyue also showed them the map she had bought.
As a result, none of these people could understand it.
Lin Jinyue could only use a tree branch to draw a simple map on the ground: "We can start from Yunsong County, take the waterway to the border of Lingnan, and then continue to Yunmeng County to take the waterway to Yunhe Village."
Although the map showed a long journey and many unknowns awaited them, according to the map drawn by Lin Jinyue, it seemed to take only a little over half a month.
Everyone was overjoyed to hear that it would arrive in less than a month.
They had been fleeing famine for too long and didn't even know what lay ahead or what hardships and dangers awaited them. If it weren't for Lin Jinyue occasionally offering them rosy promises, they probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for long.
