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

"Who are those people in front?"

Lu Xueying looked at the large group of people from Linjia Village and felt a little uneasy. They were few in number and they had to be careful not to let the things on the carriage be stolen.

Yun Mo only said that the people of Linjia Village fled from Pingcheng and were heading south just like them.

"If we follow them, they'll have no objection, right?" Lu Xueying said worriedly.

After all, it would seem impolite to follow him without saying hello.

"Mom, don't worry. When we stop to rest, I will go say hello to the village chief." Yun Mo thought it was not a big problem.

Lu Xueying immediately felt relieved, "That's good."

Fearing that the government soldiers and the Hu people would catch up with them, the people of Linjia Village kept on marching during the day without stopping to rest, and they gritted their teeth and persevered until the sun set.

Finally, we stopped at a flat area halfway up the mountain, far away from the official road, and prepared to rest here for the night.

Lin Yinan silently estimated that they had walked about fifty miles, or about twenty-five kilometers, that day.

The official road was filled with refugees fleeing from Jiancheng. There were so many of them that if something happened, there would be no place to hide.

After stopping, the village chief struck a gong and asked all the men in each family to gather together for a meeting, so that those with clear minds could read and analyze the current situation.

The elderly, women and children were collecting firewood and digging wild vegetables around the camp.

Uncle and nephew Lin Shuo and Lin Yiheng came back from the meeting and conveyed the village's intention. The situation on the road was unclear, so each family was asked to prepare more dry food at night so that they could fill their stomachs while traveling during the day.

Lin Yinan carried a basket and went to pick wild vegetables with Li Shulan.

This place is not far from the official road, and not only the wild vegetables but even the edible tree bark have been picked up long ago. If you want to dig wild vegetables, you have to go deeper into the mountains.

As she entered the forest, she found a beautiful woman following her.

"Why are you following us?" Lin Yinan turned around.

Lu Xueying was at a loss for words and stammered, "I, I want to go pick wild vegetables with you guys, is that okay?"

The son and daughter were setting up the tent and making a fire. They came out in a hurry and did not bring enough food.

She passed by and heard Lin Yinan and her daughter going to pick wild vegetables, so she carried a basket and followed them.

Seeing that the woman was frightened by Lin Yinan's aura, Li Shulan glanced at her daughter in reproach.

"Yes, but the mountains and forests are full of dangers, so Madam, please don't go too far."

Li Shulan spoke gently, and Lu Xueying liked her more. She took two steps forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with her.

"Madam, you are so generous. I will shamelessly go with you. I think we are about the same age. You can just call me Xueying."

Li Shulan was a little embarrassed. "I've already fled here, why do you still call me Madam? My maiden name is Shulan."

Calling each other by their nicknames, the two of them instantly became closer.

Li Shulan enthusiastically taught Lu Xueying how to identify various wild vegetables in the grass. Lu Xueying listened carefully and gave her praises from time to time.

Lin Yinan wanted to go into the dense forest to see if he could hunt wild animals. "Mom, I'll go in and take a look."

Since Li Shulan has a partner, she doesn't need to accompany him anymore.

"You go ahead and do your work. I'll take your Aunt Lu to dig here."

Well, the beautiful woman I just met became Aunt Lu after chatting with her for a few minutes.

Lin Yinan walked into the depths of the forest carrying a bow and arrow. She was craving for meat and wanted to hunt two chickens to eat.

There are a few wild boars in the space, but there is no suitable excuse to take them out.

The mountain is not high and the forest is not dense. Lin Yinan walked around but did not find any trace of large wild animals.

When she looked up, she saw a bird's nest on a tree branch. She climbed up the tree nimbly and found six thumb-sized bird eggs inside.

After carefully putting away the eggs, Lin Yinan looked down and saw a pheasant on a tree not far away.

She stood firmly with her back pressed against the tree trunk, took the bow and arrow from her back, took aim, and the arrow went straight through the pheasant's head.

At the same time, an arrow flew from the other side and pierced the pheasant's neck.

The pheasant was hit by two arrows and fell in the grass, flapping its wings a few times before becoming motionless.

Lin Yinan looked towards the place where the arrow was shot and met a pair of dark and bright eyes.

It is him again!

Lin Yinan was about to slide down from the tree. No matter who discovered it first, she was the first to shoot the pheasant.

She would not give up the pheasant. If the other party surrendered, she would not mind fighting with him, and whoever won would get it.

In fact, she was overthinking.

As soon as Lin Yinan got off the ground, Yun Mo brought the pheasant to her.

"The girl has good archery skills."

"Thank you for the compliment." Lin Yinan took the pheasant without any modesty.

She practiced her archery skills using human heads, it would be strange if her archery skills were not good.

He pulled the arrow out of the pheasant's neck and handed it to Yun Mo, "Sir, this is your arrow."

Yun Mo took the arrow and when he saw her turning around to leave, he hurriedly called her, "I just saw a group of badgers heading to the top of the mountain over there. I wonder if the young lady is interested in going with them."

Lin Yinan raised her eyebrows slightly. This man was trying to get close to her. Was he still determined to drug her?

"No, I'm just walking around here." She refused decisively.

After saying that, she turned around and strode away. As they were alone, she didn't want to be gossiped about.

Yun Er came out from behind a big tree not far away and looked at Yun Mo nervously, "Master, how is it? Did the little girl get fooled?"

Yun Mo rolled his eyes at him and asked, "Why do you think I lied to that little girl?"

Judging from his unfriendly tone, he must have been rejected.

Yun Er comforted her, "It's okay, girls should be more reserved."

"Let's go and hunt badgers."

"Yes, we can give her a badger after we kill it. Girls all like to receive gifts." Yun Er clapped his hands.

Not long after they walked out, they saw a man and a woman standing vaguely in the woods.

Yun Er looked carefully and clicked his tongue twice. Spring hasn't even arrived yet, and they're already in such a hurry to go into the woods?

He grabbed Yun Mo and almost tore off his entire sleeve.

Yun Mo slapped his hand away and said through gritted teeth, "Yun Er, you'd better be okay."

"Master, look, the girl's fiancé is having a secret meeting with someone." Yun Er excitedly hinted to Yun Mo to look towards the woods.

"Don't be too busy."

He didn't know why Yun Er's character became more and more crooked.

Su Yunzhi came out of the woods carrying a bundle of firewood. When he saw the two men, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded and walked away.

Afterwards, Lin Qiutao chased out with a red face and half a basket of wild vegetables. When she saw Yun Mo's face, she was so scared that she quickly lowered her head.

Yun Er clicked his tongue twice, "Little girl, do you know what you look like now?"

Lin Qiutou covered half of her face shyly, thinking that he would praise her for her good looks, but he was unable to express his views, and she was so angry that she almost flew into oblivion.

Yun Er smiled maliciously, like a playful knife, "Like a cat in heat."

Lin Qiutou's face instantly turned gloomy, and she fled with a flick of her sleeves.

Back at the creek not far from the camp, Zhu Jinhui and her daughter were washing wild vegetables. Lin Qiutao's eyes lit up and she took small, reserved steps forward.

"Aunt, you are here too, let me help you."

After days of traveling, Lin Qiutou had no time to tidy herself up and was now covered in dust and dirt.

Zhu Jinhui had a puzzled look on her face and really didn't recognize who she was.

"you are?"

"Aunt, my brother Lin Zhaohui and Mr. Su were classmates, and I am his sister Lin Qiutao."

Lin Qiutao spoke softly, trying hard to put on a smile that she thought looked pretty.
