For a moment, everyone was panicked and asked: "What should I do?"

There were still people crying and wiping their tears in the rain: "God, why am I so miserable..."

Suddenly there was a wailing sound.

Finally, Lin Jinyue said with a headache: "Don't cry, don't cry, we still have a way to survive."

She looked at these people. Although they were usually noisy, and they even quarreled over the distribution of carts this morning, they were not bad people. What's more, they had shared the joys and sorrows in the cave some time ago, and each of them would rather not have enough to eat. I want to stuff eggs into her arms.

Lin Jinyue must have found a way to keep everyone safe.

Lin Jinyue then said: "We divide the work and cooperate. The village chief arranges the tasks. No one can say who takes advantage of the other. Only by working together can we support each other and make it to Lingnan alive. If someone is in trouble, please help if you can." With a crossbow and arrows, I can go hunting in the mountains without fear of starvation. What's more, the south is rich in products. If we can endure it for more than ten days and cross Yangzhou, even if we go to the mountains to pick fruits to eat, we will not be hungry."

"The people around us now are our confidence in the future. There are only about fifty of us. There are only so many people. There are no roads to guide us. It is not easy to go to the south to settle down. If there are fewer people, it will be difficult to walk to the south. I’m afraid it will get more and more difficult in the future.”

"Prince Jing is so cruel. I guess in addition to refugees, there should be many bandits and rebels. When the time comes to fight, others will not care whether you are an innocent citizen or not..."

Everyone's face turned pale. They definitely did not doubt what Lin Jinyue said.

Lin Jinyue comforted: "Don't worry, there is a way."

Lin Jinyue told her plan.

At night, we find young people to keep vigil, and everyone takes out some grain for them to eat at night. During the day, the carts do not pull grain, but directly pull these people who keep watch.

There is no need to argue over these carts in the future.

Lin Jinyue: "If someone keeps watch, we will be much safer. If we can't deal with it, we can still shout, but we won't be caught off guard by wild beasts or soldiers coming to the mountain."

After some discussion, everyone's originally frightened expressions softened, and they were even discussing which boy to send out to watch the night, and said that they would definitely not let anyone get hurt.

The expressions on everyone's faces were originally gray, but now their fighting spirit was rekindled.

No one questioned Lin Jinyue at this time, even though she was only eight years old now, she seemed to have become the backbone of the group.

Lin Jinyue saw that the expressions on their faces softened before continuing: "We decided to go to Lingnan because we read in the book that Lingnan is rich in products. As long as the miasma can be eliminated, everyone will be rich and live a better life in the future than before. Even better."

When she said this, she was actually worried that this group of people would lose their motivation on the road, just like those company bosses in previous lives who made excuses for their employees.

Seeing that everyone was full of energy, Lin Jinyue immediately made a plan efficiently.

Now, excluding Lin Youliang's family, there are a total of eight households with fifty-five people.

There are eight households, including Lin Jinyue's family of four, and four other households with the same surname Lin. Village chief Lin Youcai's family has nine people, the third uncle's family has eight people, and there are two families named Lin, with three people and Seven people, but the relationship is slightly distant. Before fleeing the famine, they would not move around during the holidays.

The remaining three families are those with other surnames. The Wang family and the Chen family each have seven people. They are all young adults and children. The old people could not resist on the road. The last family is the family of Butcher Liu. The family of Butcher Liu moved just a few years ago. When I came to Linjia Village, the village was xenophobic. Not to mention the Wang family and the Chen family who had moved there a few years ago, the village chief didn't like to take them to play.

However, Lin Jinyue's plan this time was to bring all of their foreign surnames with her.

For example, Butcher Liu's family often went hunting in the mountains. Their three sons knew how to use bows and arrows with great accuracy, so Lin Jinyue gave them a crossbow.

Although the crossbow arrows sometimes work, they can help solve some problems.

At the same time, we also arranged for three young men to stay on duty every night to help watch the wind, so as not to encounter danger at night and everyone fell asleep.

Lin Youcai saw that Lin Jinyue had almost made arrangements, and said to everyone: "Let's have a rest tonight. When the rain subsides, we can go pick some things around, and then we can continue our journey tomorrow."

Lin Youliang's family was not happy: "Then everyone else has something to do. This is not kind. Are you not planning to take our family with you?"

Lin Youcai stopped talking.

Several other people in the village couldn't stand their family.

"What are you doing with your family? We have agreed before that if we don't take your family with us, we will just be lazy and take advantage every day. How can we trust you?"

Lin Youliang didn't dare to speak anymore and kept glaring at his two daughters-in-law.

Their family loves to be lazy and take advantage of others, but that was before, when everything they got was divided equally, so naturally they would be lazy if they could. This time, Lin Laosan's arrangement directly excluded their family, and the villagers did not trust their family. , if I get something good in the future, it will definitely not get a share from his family.

Thinking of this, Lin Youliang felt unhappy and almost hated Sanfang to death, but he didn't dare to show it.

*

After all the hard work in the village, no one in the village was idle when they needed to rest and when they needed to work.

There were a lot less disputes.

In the evening, it cleared up, but it was pitch dark, so we didn't dare to go on our way. We left three young men to keep watch while the others fell asleep.

Someone kept vigil, and everyone slept more peacefully this night.

Before going to bed, Lin Shucheng secretly stuffed the three of them with two twists each to cushion their stomachs when they were too hungry at night. He also said some words of appreciation: "I see that you are quite capable. This first night's vigil work is only enough. I dare to leave it to you,"

After being fooled by Lin Shucheng, these three people were full of energy. One of them was Lin Fugui's son, Lin Dazhuang, who spent the whole night guarding the tree with two pieces of mahua.

When it was almost dawn, Lin Dazhuang was so hungry that he took two bites of Mahua. When he looked towards the foot of the mountain, he saw some faint firelight, as if someone was using a torch.

Lin Dazhuang stuffed the twists into his mouth, jumped down, hurriedly pushed Lin Shucheng awake, and whispered: "Uncle, someone is going up the mountain with a torch."

The other two people also pushed the negotiator awake and said in a hurry: "Get up quickly, someone is going up the mountain, what should I do..."

For a time, many people were in a hurry.

Lin Jinyue also broke out in a cold sweat, but don't come to the top of the mountain.

Lin Jinyue took two deep breaths and asked, "Are there many people at the foot of the mountain? Are they officers and soldiers?"

Lin Dazhuang scratched his head: "Here, it's pitch black, and it's far away. I saw torches and light at the bottom of the mountain. There were quite a few torches, seven or eight."

Lin Jinyue calmed down instantly. There were only seven or eight torches and not many people came.

Lin Jinyue looked at the situation over there and said to everyone: "Don't worry, there are at most a few dozen people, uncle Liu, second uncle, and brother. You keep an eye on them, regardless of whether they are refugees or official officials, and shoot them directly with crossbow arrows." The key is, the others quickly get some face towels and cover their faces, but don’t let anyone find us again, and the wooden arrows have to be recovered as well.”

A few people quietly walked to a cliff and lay down on the cliff, just in time to see the torch below.

Their hearts were in their throats, and every one of them was extremely worried.

Unexpectedly, the people below just walked around in a circle and left before it was fully light.

Several people were so frightened that they broke into cold sweats.

It turned out to be a false alarm.

Lin Youcai said to Lin Jinyue and the others: "It's probably the people who live down the mountain who come to the mountains to look for food. Food prices are so expensive everywhere these days. We escaped from famine before, and occasionally we saw people living in the city coming to the mountains to look for food. This It was probably forbidden by the officers and soldiers to come in the middle of the night, otherwise all the food in the mountains would be harvested by these people, and the officers and soldiers would have nothing to eat."
