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

Everyone was awakened, and they were all watching this tragedy that had nothing to do with them in fear and anxiety.

In the darkness, a boy in his early teens was running quickly towards Lin Yinan, with two men holding knives chasing him from behind.

Afraid that he would hit her stomach, Lin Yinan slightly turned sideways to avoid him.

Lin Yinan stood with a sword in hand. The boy gasped and hid behind her in fear. "Save me! They want to kill me."

Lin Yiheng and Lin Shuo also held swords and watched the movement outside.

The two men caught up with the family in no time. Seeing the situation of the Lin family, they looked at each other, turned around and left, without pursuing the boy hiding behind them.

The boy didn't come out until the people left. He stared at the two people's backs fiercely without crying or making a fuss.

After a long moment, the boy glanced around angrily, then walked to the fire and sat down.

His eyes were red, his chest was heaving violently, and he stared at the fire without blinking.

They all had swords and martial arts skills, but they did nothing to help and watched the family being robbed and killed by the refugees.

God is so unfair!

Lin Shuo asked him several times, but he ignored him.

"Forget it, uncle, you go and have a rest first, Ah Fu and I will watch over you." Lin Yiheng glanced at the boy and said to Lin Shuo.

Lin Yinan glanced at the boy, didn't speak to him, nor did he go up to comfort him. He turned around and went back to lie down.

There are too many tragedies and accidents happening in this world every day. She is not a saint and cannot save them or comfort them.

When Mrs. Zhao woke up the next morning, she found a child beside the campfire in her campsite. After listening to Lin Fu's story of last night, the corners of her wrinkled mouth were tightly pursed.

When eating breakfast, she still felt sorry for the boy and filled a bowl for him.

The boy remained silent and took it and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

Li Shulan looked at him several times. The boy looked a little displeased and glared at her fiercely.

Li Shulan's heart tightened, and she hurried to find Lin Yinan, followed by her little tail Lu Changqing.

Under her care, Lu Changqing understood that Lin Yinan was very busy every day, and would only stick to Lin Yinan when she stopped or ate.

Lin Yinan and Lin Shuo were feeding the horses. She quietly took out a small bag of bran and asked Lin Yiheng to mix it with hay and feed it to the horses.

Horses pull such heavy loads every day, so they need to eat good food to prevent themselves from losing fat.

When she saw Lin Yinan, Li Shulan hurried over to complain.

"Anan, that child is weird."

"What's wrong?" He came to feed the horses as soon as he woke up. Lin Yinan hadn't gone to see him yet.

Li Shulan quickly lowered her voice and said, "His eyes make people feel uncomfortable."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on them. We should always be on guard against others. Mom, you have to keep an eye on Changqing, An'er, Yu'er and other younger children."

Lu Changqing obediently took her hand and placed it on his head.

Lin Yinan rubbed the two furry little tufts on his little head, quietly stuffed a candy into his mouth, and said softly, "Our Changqing is still the best."

When they set off, the boy followed them silently and ignored anyone who asked him questions.

Soon, Lin Yinan discovered that he was occasionally stealing glances at the swords in their hands.

He can follow me if he wants, but he'd better behave himself and not play any ulterior motives.

Lin Yinan pulled the horse and followed the team. She was in high spirits after getting up early. The horse's back was too bumpy, so she would often ride only when she was tired from walking.

The refugees on the road also got up and continued on their journey, and the number of people gradually increased.

From time to time, people were crying and shouting on the roadside. Many people woke up to find that either their bags were lost or their children were missing.

"Sister, sister!" A shifty figure rushed to Lin Yinan and called her in a low voice.

Lin Yinan turned around and saw that it was the thief she had caught.

She stared at him in confusion, and the thief smiled flatteringly, "Sister, I have some news, do you want to hear it?"

"Oh? What news?"

The thief glanced at the boy who was walking with the group, "A family from your camp was killed last night. The bandits dragged their bodies into the mountains and ate them."

She heard about this from the Yun family's secret guards. Except for the surviving boy, all the bodies and supplies of the family who were killed last night were gone, leaving only a dark red bloodstain on the ground.

Lin Yinan glanced at him and said, "You are in the same group with them. Did you eat it too?"

The thief hurriedly waved his hands and said in defense, "Sister, I am not that kind of person. I would rather starve to death than eat anyone."

"what's your name?"

The thief was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "My last name is Hu, the Hu that means doing evil things, Hu Shao."

After he finished speaking, his stomach made a loud noise at an inopportune time. Lin Yinan took out a biscuit from his sleeve and stuffed it into his hand.

Hu Shao took it, took a bite, and was stunned.

"Sister, this..."

Lin Yinan rolled his eyes at him and said, "I don't eat my own kind."

Hiding the pancake in his sleeve, Hu Shao carefully felt the taste in his mouth. The long-lost taste spread in his mouth, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Hu Shao was afraid that the smell of the meat pie would spread out, so he didn't have time to savor it. He wiped his tears with his sleeve and wolfed down the pie, choking and rolling his eyes.

Perhaps because he swallowed it too quickly, the pancake scratched his throat. Hu Shao said in a hoarse voice, "Sister, do you know where that bandit came from?"

"What's the origin?"

Hu Shao looked around vigilantly, leaned in and whispered, "It is said that the bandit leader escaped from the battlefield. He is very powerful and has recruited many people under his command during this period."

"What does he want to do, recruiting so many people?"

Lin Yinan wondered, was he trying to rob them?

Hu Shao glanced at the refugees who had lost their children on the roadside with pity, and continued, "Eighty percent of the lost children were stolen by them."

As for what they stole it for, everyone knew it.

When Hu Shao was about to leave, Lin Yinan secretly stuffed two cakes into his pocket as a reward.

After walking on the road for two days in a row, losing children and being robbed became the norm. Everyone had to hide their biscuits carefully when eating them, as they would be snatched away if they were not careful.

Taking away food is a small matter, but I am afraid of losing my life.

After discussion, the Yun brothers decided to adjust the team's formation and select fifty secret guards to walk at the back of the team to prevent bandits from taking the opportunity to rob and injure people.

The villagers of Linjia Village witnessed all kinds of joys and sorrows on the road, and they helped and cared for each other. Those who often quarreled in the past were now in harmony because of their journey.

The villagers were even more cautious, as they knew very well that if they separated, not only would they not be able to reach the south safely, they would certainly not be able to keep the little food they had.

After walking for a few days, he followed the boy from Lin Yinan's family. He ate when he was given food, walked when he set off, and did not get on the carriage when he was tired. He did not say a word.

We just stopped to rest at noon that day.

Hu Shao, who had been missing for two days, suddenly appeared from nowhere, looking like he had rolled in the mud.

He appeared in front of Lin Yinan with a foul smell, which almost made her faint.

"It stinks so bad, did you fall into the shit pit?"

Hu Shao brought shocking news.
