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

When Su Yunzhi heard this, the light in his eyes disappeared, and he even became absent-minded for a moment.

"Is it because of my mother?"

"Yes and no."

Considering his feelings, Lin Yinan didn't want to say anything final.

"As for my mother, I will convince her. Besides, with my father around, it's not her turn to make the decision." Su Yunzhi felt that this was not a problem.

"She doesn't like me now. When we get married, she will make me set rules all the time and find faults with me all the time. She will put a hat of being unfilial on me and crush me to death. I don't want to live like this and I won't live like this."

Seeing him lower his head and remain silent, Lin Yinan continued, "I like a free and unrestrained life. I practiced martial arts in the past just to be able to travel the world with a sword one day."

After a long silence, Su Yunzhi looked up with clear and firm eyes.

"Anan, I don't agree to cancel the engagement. I will definitely give you the life you want."

"As you wish."

Not wanting to say anything more, Lin Yinan quickly climbed back up the tree.

He wondered if she had taken the initiative to cancel the engagement, causing him to lose face.

There is no one around now, so it shouldn't be heard by a third person.

On another tree, Yun Mo and Yun Er were staring at each other.

They heard clearly the conversation between the two people just now.

Yun Er was inexplicably excited, his eyes shining.

"Master, your chance has come. It turns out that the little girl really wants to cancel the engagement."

Yun Mo rolled his eyes: "Don't meddle in other people's business."

He told people not to meddle in other people's business, but his eyes were looking at Lin Yinan through the gaps between the leaves, and the scene from the daytime kept appearing in his mind.

He quickly closed his eyes and regulated his breathing to suppress the anger in his heart.

Lin Yinan rested his head on his hands and continued to look at the starry sky.

While I was half conscious, I heard the voice of my uncle Lin Shuo. It turned out to be the middle of the night.

She came down from the tree, stuffed the sweet potato given by Su Yunzhi into Lin Shuo's arms, and turned back to the cave.

Yun Mo on the tree kept his eyes closed until her figure disappeared into the cave.

Before dawn the next day, people in the cave got up one after another.

Lin Yinan came to the tree where the horse was tied with the things in his arms and hung them one by one on the horse's back.

"Thank you for saving my second brother."

Yun Mo's voice suddenly sounded beside him, "I should have said thank you yesterday, but my mother said not to make it public, as it would be bad for your reputation."

Lin Yinan kept organizing things with his hands without raising his head.

"No need to thank me, we are even now and owe nothing to each other."

After tying up the things, Lin Yinan saw him still standing there.

"Do you have anything else?"

"No, no more."

Yun Mo quickly turned around and left, feeling like he was running away.

After a while, Yun Erlang was carried out by the guards.

He had woken up at this time and looked towards her with gratitude.

Everyone quickly packed up and prepared to hit the road.

The route had been discussed yesterday. The official road could not be taken for fear of encountering Hu cavalry later. They were not always so lucky.

When they went up the mountain, they had lost all their planks, and now they could only use livestock to pull things, and people could only follow behind.

The Yun family walked in the front, followed by Lin Yinan's family and Liu Ji's siblings, and Su Yunzhi and Lin Tiezhuang's family walked at the end.

Lin Tiezhuang is Lin Tiezhu's younger brother, and he studied at Jiancheng Academy with Lin Yiheng.

After hearing from his mother about what happened to his brother, he, like his sister-in-law, was determined to follow Lin Yinan and the others.

It is October now, and the dewdrops are like bright pearls hanging on the green leaves and flower petals, making everything white.

It rained yesterday and the mountain road is muddy and difficult to walk on. So just walk slowly, it's better than losing your life.

Lin Yinan rode a horse, and Lin Yian and Lu Changqing insisted on following.

Leaves, thorns and grass would often scratch your body, so you had to walk slowly and carefully.

The team meandered through the forest and stopped to rest until almost noon.

Lin Yinan sat on a rock and munched on a dry, hard vegetable biscuit.

In order to keep the pancakes for a long time, Mrs. Zhao baked them dry.

"Ah!" A scream sounded in the forest.

Lin Yinan quickly stood up and looked in the direction of the voice.

The sound came from Lin Tiezhu's wife Liu Zhaodi, who was digging wild vegetables in the grass not far away. The grass was too tall and it was difficult to see what was happening.

Lin Shuo and his son, Lin Yiheng, and Yun Mo from the Yun family rushed over with several guards.

"What's going on?" Old Mrs. Zhao stretched her neck.

Li Shulan frowned, "Did he step on the hunter's trap?"

"Grandma, you are here, I will go and take a look."

Lin Yinan took a step and walked towards that direction.

In the grass lay a human body that had been bitten beyond recognition by a wild beast. The head was still there, but only a few pieces of flesh remained on the limbs, and the internal organs had been hollowed out.

Except for Yun Mo and his guards, everyone else ran to the side and started vomiting wildly.

Lin Yinan stuffed the last piece of biscuit into his mouth, took a closer look, and found a branch to scratch the remains back and forth.

Yun Mo glanced sideways, thinking that this little girl was too brave.

Not only was he not afraid, he was also digging up the corpse on the ground with food in his mouth.

Yun Er also admitted defeat. He really couldn't eat in front of a corpse.

If Lin Yinan knew, he would definitely sneer: In front of a highly corrupted zombie, this body is nothing.

She stretched her neck to swallow the dry biscuit and said in a cold voice, "The deceased was a male, killed by a wild beast. The time of death should be yesterday afternoon."

"How do you know he is a man?" Yun Er asked curiously.

If he didn't look carefully, he wouldn't be able to see it.

Lin Yinan glanced at him and said succinctly, "First look at the height, then look at the skeleton."

"Skeleton? How do you see it?"

Now it was Yun Mo's turn to be confused. He could tell the difference by watching her pick at it a few times.

Lin Yinan pointed at the remains with a branch and said, "The male skeleton is larger and stronger than the female skeleton. Men do not need to give birth, so their pelvis is smaller. Women have the ability to give birth, so their pelvis is slightly larger."

Yun Mo and others were amazed after hearing this. It was the first time they knew that men and women could be distinguished in this way.

Su Kunliang, who came back after vomiting, looked at Lin Yinan deeply. He wondered what kind of master his best friend had hired for his daughter to make her so bold.

Su Yunzhi looked at Lin Yinan as he fell into deep thought, and the former Lin Daiyu gradually became blurred in his mind.

"Then what bit him to death?" Lin Shuo asked, trying hard to suppress his nausea.

Lin Yinan pursed her lips and said nothing. What she had just said was shocking enough. If she said more, her original brother would become suspicious.

Seeing that she was silent, Yun Mo just thought that she was a little girl raised in the boudoir and had never seen normal things.

He cleared his throat and said, "Looking at the degree of damage to the body, it must have been done by a pack of wolves. Wolves share food together, so they would have gnawed the body so cleanly."

"What? There's a wolf!!"

Lin Shuo, Su Kunliang and others were all horrified.

Yun Mo said, "It's not advisable to stay here for long, we should leave as soon as possible."

Everyone nodded in agreement, no one knew when the wolves would appear.
