In the famine, others ate Guanyin soil, but he had space to build a farm.

Lin Kunlun carried a heavy bag of herbs on his back, walked through the narrow streets of the town, and came to the familiar Baicaotang. When he pushed the door open, a familiar herbal fragrance hit his nose, making him feel refreshed.

"Doctor Zhou, I'm here again." Lin Kunlun greeted with a smile and gently placed the herbal bag on the counter.

Doctor Zhou raised his head, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Brother Lin, you are finally here. I was just about to send someone to look for you." He pointed to a pile of luggage next to the counter and sighed, "I have to leave this time. I may not be able to help you collect herbs in the future."

Lin Kunlun's heart tightened, and he asked hurriedly: "Doctor Zhou, why are you leaving? Did something happen?"

Doctor Zhou shook his head and showed a bitter smile on his face: "My son is worried that I'm in danger here, so he keeps urging me to go back. Now the northwest is in chaos, and refugees are everywhere looting and smashing the food and money of the rich. I also thought about it and it's safer to go back."

Lin Kunlun's heart sank. He had heard about the unstable situation in the north, but he didn't expect it to be so serious. He couldn't help but ask, "Hasn't the court figured out a solution?"

Doctor Zhou sighed and shook his head: "Now the entire Dakun Empire is like an old man who is terminally ill. If the weather is good, we can treat the symptoms. But now there is a drought in the west, and areas such as Jiangnan have been divided up by officials. Although Emperor Chongming has taken some measures, they are just a drop in the bucket."

Lin Kunlun was silent. He knew in his heart that the situation had reached a point where it could not be reversed. He thought of his fellow villagers, those hardworking and simple people, who were now facing such a disaster.

"Doctor Zhou, don't worry, I will find a way to get more food." Lin Kunlun said solemnly, "I will also pay attention to safety."

Doctor Zhou nodded, took out a few taels of silver from his pocket and handed them to Lin Kunlun: "I will take these herbs away, and they will be of great use. Take this money and be careful on the road."

Lin Kunlun took the silver and felt a warm current in his heart. He knew that in this world, there were always some people willing to lend a helping hand and give him warmth and help.

He said goodbye to Doctor Zhou and walked out of Baicaotang. The streets of the town were crowded with people, but everyone had a trace of worry and uneasiness on their faces. Lin Kunlun took a deep breath. He knew that the road ahead would be more difficult, but he would persevere and work hard for the future of himself and his fellow villagers.

"But it will probably take half a day to get to the county town! It would be great if there was a means of transportation!" Lin Kunlun thought that it would probably take him until the afternoon to walk from the town to the county town. After thinking for a while, he headed towards the easternmost part of the town. It was said that there was a place that specialized in selling livestock there.

You should know that the southwest of the Dakun Empire is also full of people who feed horses. The horses here are different from the horses in the northern grasslands. The horses here are shorter and are very suitable for walking under various jungle trees. They also have very good endurance and can walk long mountain roads.

Lin Kunlun walked through the bustling market in the town and headed east along the stone road. The sun shone through the sparse clouds, shining on his resolute face and reflecting the firm light in his eyes. He knew that this trip to the county town to buy a horse suitable for mountain roads was crucial to his future actions.

Soon, he arrived at the livestock market in the east of the town. He saw several horses of different shapes tied up in an open space, some were tall and mighty, and some were short and sturdy. The horse seller stood aside, leaning against a pillar and taking a nap. It was obvious that not many people came to buy these horses at this time.

Lin Kunlun carefully looked at each horse, sometimes touching the horse's back, sometimes observing the horse's hooves. He knew that a good horse must not only have a strong physique, but also a gentle character and excellent endurance. After a selection, he finally found a short but energetic horse. Although the horse was not big, its eyes revealed an indomitable spirit, which made Lin Kunlun very satisfied.

Although the original owner of this body had never learned to ride a horse, in modern society, as a true business elite and the highest commander of a business empire, he had learned horse riding and golf, which were required by some elites. So he could more or less recognize the state of horses. Those tall-looking horses were actually older. They were a little numb, and the teeth in their mouths were sparse. The one he chose was just the right age, and could be used as a mount. He didn't have to worry about getting sick in a short time.

"How much is this horse?" Lin Kunlun asked the horse seller.

The horse seller was a middle-aged man. Seeing Lin Kunlun's interest in the horse, he immediately became excited and began to introduce it enthusiastically: "Although this horse is small, it has great endurance. It has walked countless mountain roads and has never made any mistakes. It is also very docile and easy to tame. If you want it, I will give you a reasonable price. How about thirty taels of silver?"

Lin Kunlun thought about it and felt that the price was fair. He nodded, took out the silver from his pocket and handed it to the horse seller. The horse seller took the silver, smiled, and handed the horse's reins to Lin Kunlun.

"Okay, this horse will be yours from now on. Treat it well, and it will be your most loyal companion." The horse seller advised.

Lin Kunlun took the reins and gently stroked the horse's mane. The horse seemed to sense his kindness and lowered its head docilely.

"From now on, you are my partner." Lin Kunlun whispered. He mounted the horse and gently waved the whip, and the horse took light steps.

Lin Kunlun rode the new horse and set off on the road to the county town. He felt relieved and excited. With the help of this horse, it would be much more convenient to go to the county town in the future.

It's a pity that there are no good horses here, and he doesn't have enough money. Otherwise, he would buy a few horses for Yuan Quan and the others. After all, if they had horses, their fighting power would be stronger.

Lin Kunlun rode his new horse on the road to the county town, full of anticipation and excitement. Although the horse was small in stature, it had a steady pace and walked on the mountain road as if it were flat ground, which made him very satisfied.

He recalled the scene of selecting horses at the livestock market, and couldn't help but feel lucky. Although he had not learned the art of horse selection, he still managed to successfully select a horse that suited him based on his experience and observation in the business empire in his previous life.

Now, with the company of this horse, the time he takes to go to the county town will be greatly shortened, which also gives him more time to do other things. He thought of his fellow villagers and the difficulties they are facing now, and a sense of responsibility surged in his heart. He knew that he had to find a way to help them as soon as possible so that they could get through this difficult time.

As the horse continued to move forward, Lin Kunlun's mood became more relaxed and happy. He appreciated the scenery along the way and felt the beauty and tranquility of nature.

Unfortunately, due to the drought, the surrounding fields have dried up, and wide cracks have appeared in the fields. Some trees on the mountain have already turned yellow. Otherwise, the scenery at this time must be more beautiful.

When Lin Kunlun was rushing towards the county town, he saw an old man lying on the side of the road. A girl about 10 years old was shaking the old man desperately.

"Grandpa! What's wrong with you? Grandpa, please wake up, don't leave me alone!" The girl shook the old man desperately, trying to wake him up.

In fact, according to Lin Kunlun's modern experience, an old man who fell on the roadside must not be rescued. But looking at the poor girl, he hesitated for a moment, then stopped the horse and led the horse to the girl's side.

Lin Kunlun squatted down and took a look at the old man's condition. Fortunately, the old man was not dead. He fainted because he had not eaten for a long time.

"Little girl! Stop shaking your grandfather! If you do that, he will be in more danger!" Lin Kunlun stopped the little girl from shaking the old man. He took out a water bottle from his backpack. In fact, the water in the water bottle was the spring water in the space. The spring water contained spiritual power. It could regulate the old man's weak body due to not eating well for a long time.

"Your grandfather fainted because he hasn't eaten for a long time, and he didn't drink enough water! I have some medicine here, let him drink it!" Lin Kunlun took the porcelain bottle of water, gently pried open the old man's mouth and poured the water in!

After the old man drank the spring water, Ning Keren carried him to the shade of a nearby tree.

"Uncle! How is my grandpa?" asked the little girl in a tattered linen dress.

Lin Kunlun looked at him and asked pitifully.

"Little girl, where are your parents? How come there are only you and grandpa here?"

The little girl looked at Lin Kunlun, then at her grandfather, and spoke softly after confirming that her grandfather was not in danger.

"Uncle! My parents are gone! Only grandpa and I are left! Grandpa hasn't eaten much these past few days! Even when it was some wild vegetable soup, he let me eat it and said he was full! I didn't expect..."

Lin Kunlun looked up at the sky. The sun had already risen.

"Little girl! Your grandpa fainted because he didn't eat well for a long time! I just fed him some medicine, he should be able to wake up! I have some food here, you take it first, it should be able to help you pass some time! I have something important to do, so I'll leave first!" Lin Kunlun. Until now, he has not been able to take care of more people. If there are difficulties, every household has difficulties. Maybe now every elderly person in every family will save food for children and young people. So he can't help them. What he can do is to make himself, his family and the people he can help survive better in this. The chaotic world that is about to appear. He has done his best to give food to this girl.
