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

The water source found by the Yun family was good. Old Mrs. Zhao took charge and boiled water in a big pot for everyone to wash.

Li Shulan dug out two rather worn-out clothes from her bag and prepared to alter them for Qianxia and her sister.

Zhang saw it and snatched it away, "Sister-in-law, your dress looks really nice. It would be a pity to let those two girls wear it. I want to exchange it with you."

Li Shulan was about to speak, but Mrs. Zhao stopped her and said, "Let her go. She doesn't want to give away such good clothes."

Zhang found two sets of clothes that Lin Yirong wore for work, which had many patches on them.

Despite this, she still felt a little reluctant, as she wanted to use the clothes to make shoe uppers for her baby's father and eldest son.

Lin Yinan saw it all but said nothing. He thought it was all just a joke.

She still had a lot of fabrics in her space, but it was not suitable to take them out as she was traveling every day.

Lin Shuo and Lin Fu built a simple shed not far away with a few wooden sticks and tarpaulin for convenient washing.

Qianxia and Qianwu were not afraid of the cold, and each of them brought two buckets of cold water and went in to wash directly.

After the two sisters washed, they looked more delicate, but they were too thin, with sunken cheeks. Lin Yirong was not fat and was one year younger than the two of them, so her old clothes were a little loose on them.

When Lin Yinan came out after washing up after boiling the water, the two sisters had already wrung their hair dry. Qianxia took the towel from Li Shulan's hand and wiped her hair, while Qianwu took the initiative to help Zhang light the fire and cook.

"Girl, your hair smells so good."

When Lin Yinan washed her hair, she put some shampoo stored in the space, and what Qianxia smelled was the fragrance of the shampoo.

“I used soapberry.”

Chinatsu's hair is dry and yellow, which is caused by long-term nutrition. "Next time I'll give you two some."

"This thing is precious, young lady, keep it for yourself. I am used to washing it with wood ash."

The sisters Chinatsu are neither humble nor overbearing, and are polite in their actions. They look like they come from a wealthy family.

"I see that you act in a very organized way. Are you and Qianwu maids in a wealthy family?" Lin Yinan asked.

"I and Qianwu have been working as servants in a wealthy family since we were eight years old. It was not until last year, when we reached the required age, that our parents took us home. They had already shown goodwill towards each other, but who would have thought that the barbarians would attack us."

"In order to let my brother survive, my parents sold my sister and me for a bag of grain, not caring whether we would be sold to that filthy place or not."

Chinatsu spoke calmly, as if she were telling someone else's story.

But hearing Lin Yinan keep calling her "servant" left and right made her feel overwhelmed.

Her hair was half dry, Lin Yinan took the comb from her hand and slowly combed her hair.

She didn't know how to comfort people, and she didn't know how to get close to people. She said softly, "Don't talk about slaves all the time. You can see that our family is just an ordinary farmer. Do what you should do, and I will let you have enough food. If you want to leave in the future, I can let you go."

Qianxia knelt down in front of her, "Thank you for saving my life, Qianxia Qianwu swears to follow you till death and never leave."

"Another thing, don't kneel down all the time. I don't like it."

Upon hearing that, Qianxia quickly stood up and brushed the dust off her pants.

"Slave..., I've got it in mind."

"Anan."

Su Yunzhi was walking towards him from a distance. The fatigue from days of traveling made his face look more haggard.

Lin Yinan turned to look at him, his face indifferent and his eyes expressionless.

Chinatsu took two steps back and looked at the man in front of her.

Su Yunzhi walked forward and glanced at Qianxia who was following behind Lin Yinan, "Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Lin Yinan raised his eyes and said calmly, "No."

Su Yunzhi, "Do you need my help?"

Lin Yinan shook his head, "Neither."

Su Yunzhi was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say next.

The cool breeze lifted her long hair, and a few strands of hair kept brushing the back of his hand. His heart suddenly started beating uncontrollably, and he quickly lowered his hand and hid it in his sleeve.

A fresh and elegant fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose, and Su Yunzhi suddenly felt a little dry in the mouth.

He tried hard to conceal the strangeness in his heart and tried to break the silence between the two.

Su Yunzhi said in a hoarse voice, "It's been so long since Uncle Lin's incident. The dead are gone, and the living are like this. Anan, don't be sad anymore."

"Yeah, I understand."

Lin Yinan's cold face was hidden by her beautiful hair, and even though she was so close, it was hard to see clearly.

The villagers coming and going in the camp glanced at them from time to time. Although the two were engaged, Su Yunzhi couldn't stay here any longer.

"Then I'll go back first. If you have anything, just come to me."

"Okay!" Lin Yinan agreed readily.

Su Yunzhi walked away, Lin Yinan turned around and said to Qianxia, ​​"You go back first, I'll go for a walk in the woods."

Seeing the determination in her eyes that would not be rejected, Qianxia lowered her head and said, "Yes."

Lin Yinan walked into the forest where few people had been, found a big tree with lush leaves and thick branches, and climbed up in no time.

Ever since the zombie virus broke out, she has taken to resting in trees or tall buildings.

She braided her dry hair and put it on top of her head. She lay on a tree branch with her hands behind her head, closed her eyes and enjoyed the quiet time.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Soon, the sound of someone talking was heard under the tree.

"Brother, Miss Huang's uncle is the magistrate of Qingdao County. When we arrive in Gudao County, Mr. Huang will take his family there to seek refuge. Brother is knowledgeable and talented, so why don't we follow him? Then, Mr. Huang can say a few good words and arrange a job for you. This way, we won't have to suffer from the hardships of wandering around anymore."

"But what did Miss Huang tell you?"

"Brother, Miss Huang and I are good friends, so she told me this secretly."

Lin Chaohui narrowed his eyes. His sister had lived in the village since she was a child and had no idea about the twists and turns of wealthy families. She was probably being deceived.

"You were deceived by her."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Qiutou became anxious. It was not easy for her to establish a good relationship with Miss Huang, and Miss Huang also agreed to take care of her family when the time came.

"How could she lie to me about such an important matter?"

Lin Chaohui patiently explained to her.

"It may be true, but sister, don't forget that Master Huang fled the city with his family, which is a capital crime. He didn't even dare to enter Yangcheng. Even if he went to Qingdao County to seek refuge with his brother-in-law, he didn't dare to do it openly. He could only keep his tail between his legs. Do you think it's appropriate for us to follow him?"

Lin Qiutao, "Then why did she ask me to go?"

Lin Chaohui looked at his younger sister who had been spoiled by her parents and had grown into a beautiful young lady.

"Mr. Huang is now penniless. If he wants to live a good life, he will definitely use his children to arrange marriage. If we go there, we are unfamiliar with the place and have no power. If he sends you to please those high officials, are you willing?"

Lin Chaohui's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Lin Qiutao's heart. She couldn't help feeling sick when she thought that she, a beautiful girl, would have to stay with a fat, dying old man every day.

Covering her pounding heart, Lin Qiutou thought of the elegant Su Yunzhi and shook her head in fear.
