Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

"The rumors are not entirely true. The Yun family does support 500 people, but they are all orphans of soldiers who died. They have nowhere to go, and the Yun family only helps the emperor share his worries by raising them and teaching them some self-defense skills." Yun Mo said seriously.

Huang Guichang looked at him talking nonsense seriously and sneered, "Since my nephew is unwilling to hand over the Yun family's private soldier token, don't blame me for being rude."

After saying that, he threw the cup in his hand to the ground.

Yun Mo stood up, and suddenly felt dizzy. He realized something, pointed at Huang Guichang and gritted his teeth, "Huang Guichang, you are so despicable and shameless."

At this moment, five or six men armed with swords rushed in from outside the door and rushed straight towards him.

Yun Mo quickly drew out the long sword from his waist and started fighting with the opponent. He had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he quickly killed or injured two people.

Huang Guichang, who was afraid of death, hid aside and shouted, "Catch him, the reward is fifty. Catch the boy from the Yun family, no matter if he lives or dies."

He had already found out that the token that commanded the five hundred secret guards was in Yun Mo's possession.

When the people guarding outside the house saw that the people inside were defeated, a few more people came in one after another.

His body slowly began to feel hot and his physical strength was rapidly depleted. Yun Mo thought to himself that something was wrong.

This was not a solution. He glanced at the corner where Huang Guichang was hiding, and with a swipe of the sword in his hand, he flew up, threw out two hidden weapons from his sleeves, and stabbed them directly at Huang Guichang's face.

"grown ups!"

The men were shocked and their formation was thrown into chaos, and they all tried to block the hidden weapons shot at Huang Guichang.

Now is the time! Yun Mo seized the opportunity and flew out of another window.

Huang Guichang covered his injured arm and said angrily, "I'll let you chase him. He's been drugged and can't run far."

The subordinate took the order and left, almost bumping into Huang Yinyin who was running wildly outside the door.

"Dad, what happened to your hand?"

"It's okay, just a little scrape. Yinyin, what are you doing here?" Huang Guichang raised his hand.

Looking at the mess on the ground, Huang Yinyin was puzzled, "Where is Brother Yun?"

"Let him run away."

"Ran?"

Huang Yinyin saw the empty wine jug at Yun Mo's seat, stomped her feet, turned around and ran out.

It was still dark the next day.

Lin Yinan was awakened by the villagers who got up early to clean up.

Grandma Zhao was sitting on the floor cleaning up, while Zhang and Lin Yirong were already cooking breakfast. They made a pot of thick corn and wild vegetable porridge with the two pheasants that Lin Yinan had hunted the night before.

The fragrance was everywhere at this moment, attracting the nearby villagers to look in.

After breakfast, when it was light, the villagers, led by the village chief, set out towards Xincheng.

The villagers learned last night that they would reach Xincheng at noon today. With hope in their eyes, they walked much faster than the previous two days.

The sun is still shining brightly in September.

After walking along the mountain road for nearly two hours, Lin Yinan and his friends finally arrived at the official road.

This is the road that leads directly to Xincheng. The grass and trees on both sides of the official road have been cut down.

The muddy road was full of footprints. Lin Yinan glanced around and had a bad feeling in his heart.

After walking for another half an hour, they could see the towering city walls of Xincheng in the distance.

A huge crowd gathered at the city gate.

"so many people?"

"Is the city gate still open?"

"It's already noon, why haven't you opened the city gate yet?"

……

The villagers started talking about it when they saw it, and the village chief immediately sent a few smart and eloquent young men to find out what was going on.

Lin Yinan secretly felt that something was wrong. With so many people stranded at the city gate, it might be difficult to enter the city.

Soon, the people who went to inquire about the news came back and said that Xincheng had closed the city gates five days ago. The soldiers guarding the city were afraid that there would be Hu spies mixed in with the fleeing people, so they stipulated that people could only leave but not enter Xincheng.

The villagers became anxious when they heard this, especially those who had run out of food at home. They were hoping to go to Xincheng to buy some food.

"Village Chief, what do you think we should do now?"

"Should we continue to wait here?"

There are those who are impulsive and fearless, "There are so many people at the city gate, let's rush in together!"

"Yes, there are so many of us. The soldiers can't kill us all, right?"

"No, what if the officials accuse us of treason and kill us? What can we do?" This man often traveled and had some experience.

"This won't work, that won't work. My family has run out of food. Will everyone in my family starve to death?"

"My family is out of food. We ate wild vegetables all day yesterday. Now I am starving."

The atmosphere in the crowd was very low and depressing.

"Or, we can talk to the soldiers guarding the city and see if they can let a few of us in, and then buy some food and come out." Someone also made a serious suggestion.

"Yes, let's all contribute some money to the guards."

Everyone gathered around the clan leader and the village chief to offer suggestions.

While listening to the villagers' words, Lin Yinan observed the people stranded at the city gate. They were all covered in dust and had chapped lips, and it seemed that they had been guarding here for several days.

She had sharp eyes and soon saw several groups of people in the crowd. Some of them were looking at the city gate with unfriendly eyes, while others were looking at the people around them.

In just a short while, the people of Linjia Village were targeted by two or three groups of people with bad intentions.

Finally, their eyes fell on the cattle and sheep held by the villagers and her two fat and strong horses, and they were almost drooling.

Hunger makes people lose their minds. She has seen too much of this. Even people will eat each other when they are hungry, let alone two horses.

No, we can't stay here, we have to leave now.

The village chief and his men were collecting silver from every household, preparing to bribe the soldiers guarding the city to enter.

Lin Yinan pushed through the crowd and walked in to interrupt them, "Uncle, village chief, we are being watched."

Then she told them what she had just observed. Several men in the village looked at her calmly, all of them were shocked.

"Village chief, Anan is right. Several groups of people are watching us."

The clan leader made a prompt decision, "Notify everyone, we have to leave here immediately."

"Chief, where are we going?"

The clan leader scratched his head, and Lin Yinan spoke first, "Let's go up the mountain. We'll go through the forest to Jiancheng."

"Anan, the official road is easy to take, why don't we take the official highway?" Lin Shuo fully demonstrated the spirit of asking when he doesn't understand.

Lin Yinan answered patiently, "There are too many people on the official road. If something happens, the villagers will be easily dispersed. Everyone is out of food, so it's easier to find food in the mountains."

The smart villagers immediately thought, "We have more people and we are walking in the mountains and forests, so they won't dare to follow us."

"go!"

At the command of the village chief, the villagers ran quickly towards the mountains and forests in the direction of Jiancheng.

Lin Yinan looked back and saw a dozen people following Linjiacun from a distance.

We'll go up the mountain and deal with them later. Anyone who dares to take advantage of her horse will have to pay the price.

As she walked, she collected useful plants, crushed them in a wooden bowl, and applied them to the two horses.
