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

No one seemed to have been to the nearby mountains, which were covered with trees and thorns. This valley seemed unaffected by the drought.

The villagers rarely see lush green forests, and they all think about going up the mountain to dig some edible wild vegetables and grass roots after they settle down.

Yun Yi seemed to be able to see through people's thoughts. He pointed at the tiger skin drying on the tree stump and reminded loudly, "Don't go up the mountain alone. We just found a tiger that rushed down the mountain and killed it two days ago."

Everyone was shocked when they saw the huge tiger skin. Not only were there ferocious beasts on the mountain, but they could also come down the mountain at any time.

Seeing that the villagers were successfully frightened, Yun Yi continued, "As long as everyone does not leave the valley, we can guarantee everyone's safety."

The Yun family allocated the open space next to their camp to the villagers of Linjia Village, which was a little distance away from the tents of the secret guards so that they would not disturb each other.

Everyone chose to live with the villagers with whom they had a good relationship.

On the left of Lin Yinan’s family are the Liu Ji siblings who have always followed them, and on the right is Lin Tiezhuang’s family.

Lin Shuo and Lin Fu dismantled the cart, and Old Lady Zhao directed Zhang and Qian Wu to start cooking.

Lin Yinan couldn't help with setting up the tent, so she took Lin Yibai and several other children, four horses and a cow to get water.

The source of water in the valley is a spring that flows out from the cracks in the rocks. The trickle flows along the small ditch and flows into a puddle as big as a basketball court.

The soil around the puddle is very new, and it seems that it was dug after the Yun family's secret guards arrived.

The water hole was already full of water, and it was bottomless, enough for all people and livestock to drink.

In just a short while, many villagers came here to fetch water.

Qian Wuti came over carrying two wooden buckets to fetch water. "Miss, when I arrived, the village chief called the second master and the eldest son over for a meeting."

Just stopped and had a meeting?

Lin Yinan asked hurriedly, "Where is it?"

Qian Wu pointed to the empty space next to the secret guards' tent and said, "Look, it's right there."

The horses and cows had drunk enough water, so Lin Yinan told Qianwu, "Qianwu, you and Yibai and the others take the livestock back. I'll go take a look."

Just as she was about to leave, Lu Changqing grabbed her clothes and refused to let go. Lin Yinan had no choice but to drag him along.

When Lin Yinan walked over, he saw Yun Mo standing on a big rock, with Yun Yi and Yun Ye standing next to him. The men from Linjia Village were surrounding the three of them.

She quickly found Lin Shuo and Lin Heng in the crowd. The uncle and nephew were standing not far from the Yun Mo brothers.

At this time, Yun Mo had already talked about the second question.

"We have more than a dozen passes to the city, which can give seven places to Linjia Village. We decided to go into the city after lunch. Village chief, please take a look at which people to choose and give me the list later."

He looked at Yunye inquiringly, asking if he had anything to add, but Yunye shook his head.

"That's all I have to say. If there's nothing else, please go away."

Everyone dispersed quickly, and the Yun Mo brothers turned around and were about to leave. Lin Yinan pulled Lu Changqing forward two steps and called out to Yun Mo.

"Mr. Yun, please wait a moment."

The two brothers saw that she seemed to have something to say, so they stopped immediately.

Yun Ye was very grateful to the girl who cured his leg injury. He smiled and asked, "Miss Lin, is there anything wrong?"

Lin Yinan didn't beat around the bush, "Mr. Yun, I want to go to Gudao County, can you leave a pass for me?"

Yunye, "Miss Lin, if you want to buy anything, I can do it for you."

"I just want to go and take a look." Lin Yinan wanted to buy a lot of things, and it was difficult to explain them in a few words.

The Yun brothers looked at each other, and Yun Mo nodded slightly to Yun Ye.

Yun Ye said, "Okay, then I will reserve a pass for you."

Lin Yinan bowed deeply, "Thank you!"

The two brothers quickly clasped their fists in return.

Su Yunzhi and Lin Yiheng had been listening nearby until the Yun brothers left.

Lin Yiheng asked, "Anan, you want to go into the city too?"

Lin Yinan, "Well, I want to go buy some things."

The two of them just thought that she was going to buy things for her daughter's house and didn't ask any further questions.

When they returned, the village chief was looking for them everywhere. When he saw them, he hurriedly said, "Oh! Where have you been? I was looking for you everywhere."

Lin Yiheng felt a little guilty about asking someone to look for him. "Uncle Village Chief, what do you want from us?"

Village chief, "You two will come with us into the city this afternoon."

"Who else besides us?"

The village chief counted on his fingers and said, "The Yun family didn't give many places. I discussed it with the clan leader and chose the Su family father and son, you, Lin Zhaohui, Lin Tiezhuang, me and the other two clan elders."

Lin Yiheng nodded. When Yun Mo said that there would only be seven vacancies, he had already guessed who the village chief would choose.

"Uncle Village Chief, my sister asked Master Yun for an extra pass, and she will go with us."

The village chief couldn't help but glare at Lin Yinan, and said in a reproachful tone, "Anan, why are you so ignorant? It's good enough that Master Yun can help us, but you still go and trouble him."

Lin Yinan said calmly, "Mr. Yun has agreed. Don't worry, village chief. I won't cause any trouble for you."

The village chief looked at her with a complicated look, and after a long while he sighed, "In that case, go back and get ready, and leave on time in the afternoon."

This girl is very skilled in martial arts, and now even the Yun brothers look at her differently.

After giving the notice, the village chief left with his hands behind his back.

Zhu Jinhui and Jixiang were standing at the back with baskets in their hands. She could hear clearly the conversation between the village chief and them.

Seeing that Lin Yinan was going out with a group of men and looked like she didn't care, Zhu Jinhui couldn't stand it anymore and said in a bad tone, "Anan, that's the men's business. Why are you, a girl, going to join in the fun?"

Su Yunzhi could tell her mother was a little angry, so she quickly spoke up to defend Lin Yinan, "Mom, Anan wants to buy something."

"If I want to buy it, won't you help me bring it back?"

Zhu Jinhui was even angrier at her son's defense, and her voice became much louder.

Lin Yinan turned his face away and didn't look at her, fearing that he would not be able to help but have a head-on conflict with her.

Lin Yiheng frowned, looking at Aunt Su with a somewhat ferocious face. She was very unhappy with her harsh accusations against her sister. Her sister hasn't even married Yunzhi yet, but she's already so controlling. If her sister marries into the Su family in the future, she will be strictly controlled by her every move, whether she drinks water or takes a few steps.

Thinking of this, he felt a little worried about his sister's future.

"Aunt Su, you worry too much. I will certainly take good care of An Nan."

After saying that, he pulled Lin Yinan, who was standing there stupidly, over and turned away.

Zhu Jinhui stared angrily at Lu Changqing beside Lin Yinan, and started to criticize her.

"Yunzhi, look at her. The child has no relationship with her at all. I heard that he was traumatized and wanted her to hold him in her arms to sleep at night. He is already seven years old and has no manners at all..."

"mother!"

Seeing that she was going too far, Su Yunzhi interrupted her with an unhappy look on his face.

"It's time to go back and cook."

The villagers passing by all pricked up their ears to listen. Rumors are scary. If the news got out, how would Anan live his life?

He didn't understand what An Nan had done wrong that made his mother dislike her and find fault with her for everything.
