In the famine, others ate Guanyin soil, but he had space to build a farm.
Chapter 17: Unprecedented Warmth
Lin Kunlun was delayed for a long time this time. When he returned home, it was completely dark. Most of the families in the whole village had closed their doors. This was the case in ancient rural areas without electricity. After all, people did not have any activities at night, and due to the shortage of food, many people could not fill their stomachs with wild vegetables. So everyone might as well climb into bed early. This way, they would not starve so quickly.
However, the oil lamp was lit at Lin Kunlun's house. Lin Kunlun also saw Lin Shi standing at the door of his house from a distance, constantly looking towards the entrance of the village, obviously waiting for him.
When Lin Shi saw Lin Kunlun, he ran into the house happily.
"Mom! Dad is back!" Lin said happily while running inside.
When Lin Kunlun reached the door of his house, he saw Liu Ye, who came out with her four children.
"Boss, you're back! If you don't come back, we'll go find you!" Liu Ye said worriedly. She felt the changes in Lin Kunlun the most in the past two days. She was really afraid that something had happened to Lin Kunlun.
"It's okay! Look what I brought back!" Lin Kunlun smiled and patted the bamboo basket on his back. There were three pheasants in the bamboo basket! There were also some herbs he had picked.
"Dad, you caught another pheasant!" Lin Shui saw it and asked happily.
"I was lucky! I met a hunter in the mountains! These pheasants were given to me by him! I'll tell you in detail when I go in!" When Lin Kunlun came back, he was afraid that the villagers would see him, so he put away the fur. But since it was dark now, he was not worried about being seen by others, so he went into the room first and took out the three pheasants. The three pheasants were obviously shot dead!
Then he pretended to take out the herbs and pulled out a few skins from the space and put them under the backpack. Except for one deerskin, all the other skins were rabbit skins.
"Why does the boss still have so many skins?" Liu Ye asked curiously when she saw so many skins.
"The hunter asked me to help sell it in town!" Lin Kunlun explained.
Liu Ye nodded. In ancient society, it was normal for some people to avoid the government. For example, some people in the previous dynasty. Some people who got into trouble also hid in the jungle. After all, the population in ancient times was too small, and the jungle wilderness area covered a larger area. Many places were not under the jurisdiction of the government.
"Will this get you into trouble, boss? You know, we don't know this person's background and we don't even know if he's a wanted criminal by the court!" Liu Ye asked worriedly.
"Don't worry about this! We are just buying some furs for him! Just don't tell anyone!"
"Boss, come and eat! The meal is still hot for you!" Liu Ye walked to the kitchen next door and brought a bowl of wild vegetable millet porridge.
Lin Kunlun also knew that there were not many families who could afford to eat wild vegetable millet porridge. In addition, he had already gotten used to this kind of food in the past few days. Lin Kunlun picked it up and ate it without hesitation.
"What should we do with these three chickens?" Liu Ye asked as she was about to go out to deal with the three chickens.
"Leave one to eat at home! Prepare the other two and apply some salt to prevent them from going bad! I'll take them to the town to sell tomorrow! I also need to buy some things for my home!" You may want to see what the towns in this world look like. Although in the original owner's memory, the Kaoshan Town where they were was a very small town. But although it was small, it had everything. There were all kinds of shops, hotels, etc.! And there were also other villages that could get some mountain products and vegetables grown by themselves to buy.
After Lin Kunlun finished his meal, the feathers of the three chickens had been plucked off by Lin Shi and Liu Ye.
After Lin Kunlun entered the house, the warm light in the room reflected the things he was carrying. He carefully placed the pheasant on a wooden table, then took out the animal fur from the backpack and showed it to Liu Ye. Liu Ye carefully examined the fur. Although she was not good at identifying the quality of fur, she could read the satisfied look on Lin Kunlun's face.
"These furs look very high-quality, Boss. Are you sure there is no problem?" Liu Ye confirmed again.
Lin Kunlun spread out the furs and explained, "The texture of these furs is clear and the color is bright. They are indeed top-quality goods. The hunter told me that these furs were recently hunted, so he asked me for help."
Liu Ye was still a little worried, but she knew Lin Kunlun's judgment, so she decided not to ask too many questions. She turned her attention to the plan of selling furs and pheasants tomorrow. "When are you leaving? Can the children help you?"
Lin Kunlun thought for a moment and replied, "I will leave early tomorrow morning. The children can help. Let Lin Shi and Lin Shui go with me. Boys should also see the world. It's useless to stay in this village all the time."
As the night deepened, the lights in the house seemed even warmer. Liu Ye took the children to wash up. Due to the severe water shortage, everyone just washed their hands and feet casually and went to bed obediently.
Liu Ye fetched another basin of water and helped Lin Kunlun wash his feet, saying with a blushing face.
"Boss, you've worked hard these past few days. I've got some hot water for you to soak your feet in."
Lin Kunlun felt warm in his heart. He had been very busy these past few days and was a little tired both physically and mentally. He took the wooden basin that Liu Ye handed over, placed it at his feet, took off his shoes, and immersed his feet in the hot water. The warm feeling instantly spread from the soles of his feet to his whole body, making him relax.
"Thank you, Liu Ye." Lin Kunlun said with a smile, "You have been very hard these days, taking care of the children and doing housework."
After hearing this, Liu Ye blushed. She lowered her head and said softly, "Master, you go out every day for this family. There is not much I can do to help you. I can only try my best to take care of the family affairs so that you don't have to worry about anything."
The two smiled at each other, a tacit understanding and warmth flowed between them. This kind of mutual trust had never existed since Lin Kunlun, the original owner, became addicted to gambling.
After soaking his feet, Lin Kunlun lay on the bed, his mind full of thoughts. He thought about what he had experienced in the past few days, the mysterious space, and the fur and pheasants that suddenly appeared in his life. He knew that all this was so unreal, but he also knew clearly that he could no longer return to his original life.
He looked at Liu Ye beside him, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that no matter what difficulties he would encounter in the future, as long as Liu Ye and the children were by his side, he would have the courage to face everything.
Just like that, Lin Kunlun and Liu Ye fell asleep in each other's arms in the warm quilt. Tomorrow, they will face new challenges and embrace a new life together.
