"You're so idle. It's such a waste to feed such good fruit to this little beast." Father Lin complained when he saw Lin Feng feeding the horned rat with pears.
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Dad, we don't need any. My little sister likes it."
Mother Lin smiled kindly and said, "Just spoil her!"
Without the constraints of lack of water and food, the family felt relaxed. This was a good thing. Life was already tiring. Next, Lin Feng was confident that he could lead his family to live a good life without worries about food and drink.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" After the horned rat finished eating the pear pieces in Lin Feng's hand, it still looked at him with its little eyes eagerly, meaning that it should give it some more because it liked to eat this.
Lin Feng took another bite of the pear and handed it to the little horned mouse. The little horned mouse held the pear and climbed up the tree and crawled into a tree hole.
"Brother, it ran away." The younger sister said a little disappointedly.
Lin Feng rubbed the little girl's head and said, "After you settle down, I'll raise one for you."
After hearing this, the younger sister immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly, saying that her elder brother loved her the most.
"Jingyi, take a nap if you are tired. You are pregnant, so you need to rest more." Lin Feng said to his wife with a doting look on his face.
Yang Jingyi smiled and said, "Lin Feng, you are the one who is working hard. I am just sitting in the car and not tired at all. It is you who is working hard."
Lin Feng waved his hand: "Your husband is in great shape, not tired, not tired."
When Mr. and Mrs. Lin looked at this loving young couple, their hearts felt as sweet as honey. They were very pleased that Yang Jingyi was a kind-hearted and virtuous daughter-in-law, and that the 100 kilograms of black rice as a betrothal gift was not given in vain.
"Squeak, squeak!" Another sound came from the tree. The horned rat climbed down the tree quickly. It came to Lin Feng and raised its little paws.
When Lin Feng saw what was in its claws, he was stunned. It was holding a small piece of fire scale stone in its hand, which was dazzling red.
"Oh my! Is this the Fire Scale Stone?" Father Lin exclaimed in surprise when he saw it. It was said that if this thing was ground into powder and taken, it could prolong life. He had only heard of it and had never seen it in person, as it was a treasure only owned by the rich. He never expected that this little horned rat would also have it.
Lin Feng took the Fire Scale Stone from its little claws and was very excited. To open the second level of the Linglong Tower in his body, he needed three hundred kilograms of Fire Scale Stone. Although this piece was not big, it was a good start.
"Thank you." Lin Feng said to it after collecting the Fire Scale Stone.
The little horned rat saw that this guy took his things and didn't say anything, so he kept squeaking, meaning, do you want to take it for free?
"Hahaha, this little thing, do you want to exchange with me?" Lin Feng then took out a smaller pear, cut it into small pieces with a dagger, and put it on the ground for it to take.
The little horned mouse was very satisfied. It kept stuffing the pear pieces into its mouth. Soon all the pear pieces were stuffed into its mouth. Its cheeks were bulging, which looked very funny.
The little horned mouse climbed up the tree with satisfaction and returned to his own tree hole.
At this time, hundreds of people from Linjia Village came back in a mighty force. They were all very proud, their water bags were full, and they were revived with full blood.
Seeing Lin Feng's family still sitting under the tree to enjoy the coolness, the villagers looked at them with a bit of gloating. Without food and water, were they waiting to die? What if his family begged them to give them food and water?
Thinking of this, the villagers no longer dared to approach Lin Feng's family.
Lin Feng felt disgusted when he saw their behavior. Don't forget, you are also dogs of his master Lin family. If they can expel my family today, they can expel you tomorrow.
The master family is no longer the same master family as before. Their conscience has been completely corrupted. Why do poor people bother to make things difficult for poor people? How sad!
Ignoring these ignorant villagers, the Lin Feng family had already eaten and drunk their fill, so they peacefully fell asleep. The others were also curious: what made them so calm when they had no food or water? Was it despair?
The clan leader looked at Lin Feng's family coldly, without saying anything, and did not ask anyone to bring some water to the family.
"Rest for an hour, and then continue on our journey." After the patriarch gave the order, the villagers found a place to rest as family units. They sat in a circle and took out their own black rice dry food to replenish their energy.
Needless to say, the patriarch and the people from the main family had red wheat cakes as well as some beef and mutton jerky to eat.
The hierarchy is everywhere. Lin Feng sneered: "Be careful or you bastards will choke to death."
"Squeak!" At this time, the gate of Jingwei City suddenly opened and the drawbridge was lowered.
"Run!" A large number of government troops and some officials in official uniforms ran out from Jingwei City, followed by some civilians and merchants.
Lin Feng was stunned. What was going on?
The villagers of Lin's village were also confused. Why were they all running out now when the city gates were not opened for them just now?
The head of the Lin family immediately stood up and looked at the people in Jingwei City who were fleeing everywhere. He was also confused. Something was wrong!
"Get out of the way now." The officers and soldiers were clearing the way with their swords in hand. When they saw the people from Linjia Village blocking the way, they shouted and cursed.
The villagers of Linjia Village quickly made way. These people seemed to be chased by some terrifying beast. Some of the officials' family members even lost their shoes.
After the officers and soldiers and officials' families ran over, the next came the common people and merchants.
"Young man, what's wrong? Why are you running away?" The head of the Lin family asked hurriedly after stopping a young man.
"They are bone-eating ants. They crawled out from the dry wells in the city and gnawed on anyone they saw. There were so many of them that I couldn't count them. Run away, old man!" The young man said as he hurriedly ran away.
"Bone-eating ants? Oh no, let's get out of here quickly." The head of the Lin family immediately told the villagers to run away.
Lin Feng was also stunned. These bone-eating ants were as big as a child's fist, with extremely sharp teeth. They moved in groups. When they saw humans and livestock, they would swarm over them and in the blink of an eye, they would eat them until nothing was left.
How come there are so many bone-eating ants in Jingwei City? It's strange.
"Hurry, let's run!" Father Lin urged.
Lin Feng nodded, helped Yang Jingyi into the car, and then the whole family joined the escape team.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" The horned mouse on the tree also jumped onto the wheelbarrow, with a look of fear on its face. The bone-eating ants were also its natural enemies.
Lin Feng ignored the little guy and ran forward quickly.
"Ah!" A scream came from behind.
Lin Feng's scalp went numb when he saw it. A big man was bitten on the legs by several bone-eating ants. Other bone-eating ants swarmed over him. In a moment, the big man disappeared along with his flesh and bones.
