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

"Sister, you eat the egg." Lin Yian handed the egg in his hand to Lin Yinan.

Lin Yinan rubbed his soft hair and said, "You can eat it. Sister doesn't like eggs."

Lu Changqing also came over, leaned on her, took out an egg from his arms and handed it to her.

"Changqing, be good. Sister won't eat. You need to eat more so that you can grow up quickly."

Lin Yinan also rubbed his hair.

Sighing in his heart, Lu Changqing still refused to speak. On weekdays, he would eat when he was called to eat and sleep obediently without making any noise or making any fuss.

After a brief argument, the camp fell silent.

There was still half an hour before departure, so everyone was taking the time to catch up on some sleep.

In the afternoon, the people of Linjia Village continued on their journey under the scorching sun, each of them so sleepy that they could hardly open their eyes.

After walking for an hour or so, refugees with ragged clothes and dishevelled hair appeared one after another on the forest trail. They were obviously fleeing from other cities and had been hungry for a long time.

The people of Linjia Village emerged from the dense forest, and almost every household had a livestock, and the livestock were carrying large and small bags on their backs, making it obvious that they were very rich.

Lin Yinan's family had the most assets, including two tall horses that she had dyed to a dull yellow color, but were still fat and strong, and a large yellow cow.

A look of greed flashed across the refugee's face, and he followed closely behind the people from Linjia Village.

Lin Yinan frowned and quickly asked Mrs. Zhao and the children on horseback to get off.

"Anan, I'm afraid those refugees have designs on us."

Lin Shuo was carrying a large backpack on his back and walking side by side with Lin Yinan.

Lin Yinan took out two axes from his backpack and handed them to him.

"Uncle, let's have some weapons in our hands. Those people won't dare to come forward easily when they see us."

"Yep!"

Old Mrs. Zhao nodded and quickly took out two kitchen knives. She wanted to give one to Li Shulan, but when she looked at Zhang, who was stronger than her, she decisively gave one to Zhang.

Lin Yinan took out a handful and stuffed it into Li Shulan's hand, "Mom, take it, I'll give it to you for self-defense."

Some villagers were unaware, so Lin Shuo asked Lin Yisong to go to the front to inform the village chief and clan leader.

For this purpose, the clan leader specifically asked his eldest son Lin Fu to notify every family.

At the same time, let the elderly and children walk in the middle of the team, and young men walk on the outside.

The mountain road was difficult to walk on, and more and more refugees followed. Some even shuttled back and forth in the team, as if they were scouting the area or discussing how to take action.

The sun is about to set.

Lin Yinan had a bad feeling that the refugees might take action before the sun sets.

Sure enough, a loud whistle suddenly sounded among the refugee team.

All the refugees rushed towards the Linjia Village team like crazy.

The refugees who attacked Lin Yinan's family were all young and strong men, and they all rushed forward with machetes in their hands.

The refugees had a clear goal and headed straight for the two horses and the big yellow cow.

Lin Yinan had been waiting beside the two horses for a long time. The moment the refugees attacked, he took out his bow and arrow, bent the bow, put the arrow on it, and then took aim.

Arrows were shot at the first two refugees who rushed forward.

In a blink of an eye, screams were heard in the forest.

"Don't steal my food!"

The woman who was guarding the grain bag tightly was slashed by the refugees and fell to the ground.

When the villagers saw that their mother was injured, they grabbed their axes and chopped at the refugees like crazy.

"I'll fight you!"

The young children hid aside and cried loudly in fear.

Mrs. Zhao, Li Shulan, and Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took hoes and sticks and hid nearby with a few young children.

Some refugees who wanted to take advantage of the situation were chased away by Old Lady Zhao and Zhang.

More and more refugees rushed up, and bows and arrows were not suitable for close-range attacks. Lin Yinan, holding a big knife, rushed into the crowd and killed them.

Lin Shuo and his son had never killed anyone before. They just wanted to scare away the refugees with their swords by holding the firewood.

The refugees had been fleeing on the road for a long time and were already starving to death. Lin Yizhang was almost hit in the vitals, but he barely escaped with a deep cut on his arm, and blood was gushing out.

"Zhanger!"

When Zhang saw Lin Yizhang injured, she was furious. If it weren't for Old Lady Zhao and Li Shulan pulling her back in time, she would have rushed out with a stick.

Lin Shuo's eyes were red, he stepped forward and swung his knife at the other man's chest, showing no mercy.

Refugees fell one after another. They were no match for the strong men of Linjia Village.

The refugees were beaten back again and again. They didn't want to lose their lives before they could get their hands on the food.

The scene was in a mess and the smell of blood was overwhelming. Lin Yinan alone killed five refugees.

Many villagers were injured, and some were seriously injured.

Some food was taken away from every household, except Lin Yinan's family and the family of Lin Tiezhu's wife who lived next to her.

After Lin Tiezhu died, his wife took her widowed mother and five children and followed Lin Yinan's family.

Their family was fortunate to be spared from this refugee riot.

The village chief asked everyone to pack their luggage, leave the scene quickly, and find a safe place to stop and rest.

The only husband in the village walked through the team, stopping the bleeding and bandaging the injured.

"Sister, I'm so scared!"

Lin Yian and Lu Changqing rushed out and hugged her on both sides. The chaotic scene just now reminded them of the day when the academy was massacred.

"Don't be afraid, the bad guys have been chased away by your sister." Lin Yinan's heart softened and she hurriedly comforted him.

He carried the two little kids onto the horse, and then let Lin Yizhang sit on it. He was injured and had lost too much blood, so it was not suitable for him to walk too far.

The team walked for an hour before they found a flat ground to stop.

"We will rest here tonight, and everyone should be alert."

The haggard and exhausted village chief sat down on the ground and gave instructions to his eldest son.

"Dad, when can we get to Jiancheng?"

The journey was difficult and everyone wanted to reach Jiancheng as soon as possible.

"It should arrive as early as tomorrow afternoon."

"My God, we are finally reaching Jiancheng."

After hearing this, the villagers couldn't help but feel hopeful, and the women and servants even shed tears.

Lin Yinan was not so optimistic. With so many refugees along the way, it might not be a good thing even if they arrived in Jiancheng.

I just hope that the officials of Jiancheng can be more helpful and find a way to resettle these refugees, otherwise, I'm afraid there will be even bigger trouble.

About ten steps away from their camp, a family of three followed behind and stopped here to rest for the night.

The Lin Family Village has a large population and that man is a smart one.

Seeing that they were dressed neatly and cleanly, Lin Yinan took the initiative to go over and inquire about the news.

Seeing her coming, the man stood up vigilantly. He had seen how ruthlessly Lin Yinan dealt with the refugees during the day.

"What do you want to do?"

A little far away, Lin Yinan stopped and said, "I just want to ask you for some information."

"What do you want to know, girl?" One could hear the forced calmness in the man's voice.

“You don’t look like refugees?”

The man bowed to her and said, "We are originally from Jiancheng. We went to Xincheng to visit relatives a few days ago. Unexpectedly, the Hu people attacked us, so we had to return home in a hurry. We also encountered a large number of refugees on the way."

"The Hu people have reached Xincheng?"
