Lin Xueqing and Lin Shucheng were also sleepy, but they couldn't sleep right now. They could only sleep after the tents were set out later.

Lin Xueqing took out the knife again and started to sharpen the arrowhead with a wooden stick. Lin Shucheng also followed to help.

However, he couldn't help, and Lin Xueqing had to process it again. Seeing that his wife and daughter were sleeping soundly, he simply set up two fires in the open space aside, one to cook porridge and the other to cook ginger soup.

The people in the village were so busy that they couldn't even weave the vines well, so they simply put them all on top to block some rain.

The weather in early May was not too cold. When we left in the afternoon, it was still hot and sweaty. Now it was raining and the temperature dropped sharply. They were still wet and somewhat cold.

I don’t know how long this rain will last, and some families don’t even have bedding.

After making the ginger soup, Lin Jinyue woke up from a nap.

She saw that her father was about to invite everyone to come over to drink ginger soup, and quickly pushed them aside: "I'll get them soup."

As soon as Lin Jinyue woke up, she saw her grandfather and his family poking their heads towards them. They probably wanted to take advantage but did not dare to come over.

The villagers came over with bowls and thanked him profusely.

Lin Jinyue scooped a spoonful for everyone. Lin Youliang's family waited at the end, and everyone else came one person from a family. After scooping out the ginger soup, she went back and gave it to everyone else to take a few sips. Lin Youliang's family was better, The whole family came over with bowls, even the little baby who couldn't walk yet had a small bowl in his hand.

She didn't let her father split up because she was on guard against her grandfather and his family.

Even if the relationship has been severed and the blood relationship is not given, it cannot be justified, but she is different. Lin Youliang's family almost sold her to others as a food reserve. Her body is still that of a child. Even if they are not given, they still can't. No one will say anything.

Lin Jinyue watched Lin Youliang's family of nine people, old and young, lined up in a row holding bowls in front of her, rolled her eyes, and took away all the remaining ginger soup.

Lin Youliang was not happy, but he was worried about the village chief, so he lowered his voice and scolded: "You damn girl, how come everyone else is giving it to me, but my own grandfather doesn't give it to me?"

Lin Jinyue said directly: "What did you say? Louder, I'm calling the village chief grandpa!"

Lin Youliang choked, and the fire in his heart was so intense that even this damn girl dared to ride on him!

Wang Chunmei took a step forward and was about to say something, but her man glared at her and she suddenly did not dare to speak.

This fire is so suffocated, do they dare to challenge it?

Originally, their family was not welcomed by the villagers, and they might be driven away at any time. If they started arguing again, the village chief would probably drive them away on the spot.

The whole family didn't dare to have an attack. The anger was so intense that it almost caused internal injuries.

Especially the different treatment by the villagers.

They now also dare not occupy a good position in the middle, only squeezing on the edge.

The family was muttering there, not knowing what they were holding back.

Lin Youcai was still shouting loudly: "Quick, get more water while it rains."

After Lin Youcai finished his instructions, he walked around holding a tattered umbrella. When he saw that there was no movement from Lin Jinyue's family, he walked over.

Lin Jinyue said hurriedly: "Grandpa, village chief, come in quickly. You are old, so don't worry too much. It will be bad if you catch a cold."

With that said, he handed over another bowl of ginger soup.

Lin Jinyue still liked Lin Youcai, who was reasonable and had prestige in the village.

Lin Youcai took the ginger soup and took two big gulps. It was extremely spicy.

He waited for a while and then said: "Lao San, why don't you catch some rainwater at your house? There are not many jars here? Wash the porridge jar later and remember to catch it."

Lin Shucheng was puzzled and asked: "What? What are you doing to catch the rainwater?"

Lin Youcai sighed, "Hey, you don't know, you can't drink the water everywhere. Ten days ago, not long after you left, the people in the village took the wrong road and couldn't find clean water. They were almost dying of thirst, so they drank the water from the pond. As a result, they suffered from vomiting and diarrhea soon after, and no one died that night..."

Lin Jinyue shuddered. No wonder when she saw them at the gate of Nan'an County, there were one-third fewer people and they drank unclean water.

Lin Youcai continued: "This rainwater is clean. Please collect more quickly so that you won't be unable to find clean water sources."

Lin Jinyue was about to speak but stopped.

I want to say that the rainwater is not clean either.

But when I think about it, there may be some dust in this rainwater, but it is still much cleaner than the rainwater polluted by various heavy industries in later generations.

Lin Jinyue nodded: "Okay, we will pick it up."

Their family drinks water from the farm. The water quality is clear and meets drinking water standards. Naturally, they don’t have this problem.

But Lin Jinyue still honestly held an earthen pot to collect water to avoid suspicion.

At this time, Lin Youcai noticed the arrowhead that Lin Xueqing had been sharpening in his hand, and hurriedly said: "Tie Zhu, don't be too tired. You saw that you didn't get much sleep last night, and you were busy on the road early in the morning. , how about taking a nap?"

Lin Xueqing shook her head: "No, this section of our road is dangerous. Yueyue said that we need to make more weapons for self-defense."

Lin Youcai's heart rang with alarm bells, and he turned to look at Lin Jinyue: "Erya, tell me quickly, why is the road so dangerous?!"

Lin Jinyue's expression was serious: "I'm not scary, it's true. I just figured it out not long ago. Our place is probably not far from Song'an County, which is Prince Jing's territory. If we walk for more than ten days, If we can get to Songlin County near Yangzhou, do you think our journey will not be dangerous?"

"The main thing is that we are afraid that they will go into the mountains to look for food. If we meet face to face, we will all be in trouble."

"Who is King Jing? The refugees can be captured to serve in the army and to serve as food reserves. If we are discovered by his people, what good will we get? Even if we are not discovered, there are dozens of us, If we encounter people running from the south to the north, can these dozens of people beat hundreds of people? If they just want to grab some food, that's fine, but if they want to eat people..."

Several people shuddered after hearing this.

This is really scary.

But when you are hungry to a certain level, you can really do anything.

Lin Youcai's legs went weak and he sat back, "Then this, this, this... these weapons, can they be used?"

Lin Jinyue shook her head: "It's hard to say, no one has practiced it, and the crossbow arrows are sometimes ineffective."

Thinking of this, Lin Jinyue felt a headache. Sometimes the lethality was not strong enough, and it would be too painful to encounter ferocious beasts, let alone soldiers wearing armor. It would definitely not work.

Lin Youcai took a deep breath.

Seeing that the rain was getting lighter now, he shouted loudly: "Come here, everyone. If you want to survive, come here and squeeze in. I have something to say."

The villagers were still a little unhappy.

"Sit down a little bit. Half of my body is outside and I'm soaked."

"What's the fuss about? It's raining here too!"

"Village Chief, why are you calling us here when it's raining? I'm tired and hungry, and I really can't stand it."

Lin Youcai roared again, "Don't make any noise if you want to live. Just listen to what I have to say."

When everyone saw the seriousness on the village chief's face, they didn't dare to say anything no matter how many complaints they had in their hearts.

After all, if everyone had any problems along the way, they would always ask the village chief and his family to help solve them.

Lin Youcai then repeated Lin Jinyue's words to the villagers.

They were all frightened and turned pale.
