Don't panic when the end of the world comes, the boss of the group has a system

In the county seat of Linshui County, Lin Youtian settled more than 10 days' wages with the landlord Huang's family, bought two bags of cakes, and hurried home with his two sons.

After exiting the south gate of the county town, walk south along the official road for more than 60 miles, and then walk southwest along the mountain road for more than 30 miles to reach Linjia Village.

The three Lins walked along the official road and saw many ragged men, women, old and young on the roadside: some were hurrying to the county town with their families, some were sleeping on the roadside with some grass, and some were kneeling on the roadside begging...

Old Master Lin held the cakes in one hand and held the purse in his arms tightly with the other hand, signaling his two sons to walk faster and not to meddle in other people's business.

Looking at the refugees, Lin Changle, the second uncle of the Lin family, whispered, "Dad, the servants of Landlord Huang's family said these days that there is a drought in the four states in the west of Dongchu. Except for our Yongzhou, people in the other three states have fled to other places. There are also many refugees coming to our Yongzhou."

"Since February last year, there has been no proper rain in the four continents of East Chu and the west, and the weather is still hot, so how can it not be drought!

I heard that the rivers in those three states dried up, the land was barren for thousands of miles, and there was no harvest.

Now there is neither food nor water. If we don’t flee from the famine, we will just die.”

Before Mr. Lin opened his mouth, Uncle Lin Changxi interrupted.

"The drought is so widespread that the imperial court has been releasing grain to relieve the disaster since last summer's harvest, but it is a drop in the bucket and there is no way to continue.

We in Yongzhou are also about to flee famine. Look at the water in the river, it’s almost drying up. Not to mention food, even having water to drink is a problem.

Let’s go! We haven’t been home for so many days, your mother is waiting for us…”

As the father and his two sons talked, they quickened their pace and almost ran...

-

Lin Changan, the fourth son of the Lin family, and his wife Chen Xiaoyu, with their two twin sons, came out of his father-in-law's house in the county town and drove a bullock cart in a hurry towards Linjia Village...

When the ox cart had traveled about 10 miles along the official road out of the south gate of the county town, two old women in ragged clothes and holding children in their arms appeared on the roadside. When they saw the ox cart coming on the road, they hurried over from the roadside and knelt down next to the ox cart in the middle of the road.

Looking at the bundles, grain bags and other things on the ox cart of Lin Laosi's family, the two old women's cloudy eyes suddenly glowed green.

"Kindhearted people! Please be kind! My grandson is starving to death, please give us some food!"

As the two old ladies talked, they put the children on the ground beside them, stood up, grabbed the ox cart and started pulling the bags and grain bags on the cart...

Chen Xiaoyu, who was on the ox cart, was frightened and panicked. She was trying to protect her son while also trying to protect the grain bags and bundles.

Wulang and Liulang in her arms were unaware of the approaching danger and thought it was fun, staring at the two children on the ground with their eyes wide open.

Lin Chang'an, who was sitting at the driver's seat of the ox cart, was a scholar. Like Lin Baoer, he was the "ill-fed child" in the family. He had been sickly, thin, and weak since childhood.

The two children looked so skinny and pitiful. Lin Changan was just about to give them some food, but when he saw this chaotic scene, the little bit of sympathy that had just risen in his heart disappeared in an instant.

Isn't there a porridge distribution service at the south gate of the county town? It's not too far from here, right? If we walk a little further to the county town, won't there be porridge to drink? How can we starve to death?

Lin Chang'an calmed his mind, adjusted his sitting position, and no longer paid attention to the two old women. He signaled to his daughter-in-law to protect his two sons with his eyes. He held the reins tightly with one hand and used the other hand to whip the old ox hard on its butt.

The old cow was hit and immediately mooed, then let go of its hooves and ran away fiercely...

The two old women saw the ox cart running away, unwilling to accept it, so they picked up the child on the ground and desperately chased after the cart...

The old ox pulled the cart and ran wildly for a while before it finally got rid of the two old women.

After getting rid of the two old women, the ox cart slowed down for a while. Seeing that the ox cart was getting farther and farther away from the two old women, Lin Changan and his wife, who had been nervous, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Chang'an wiped the sweat from his forehead, stopped the ox cart, got off, picked up some weeds from the side of the road, and covered his bag and grain bags with them.

Looking at the old cow's staggering steps, Lin Changan estimated that the cow's leg was injured, so he stopped urging the old cow and slowly drove it towards Linjia Village...

-

The silvery moonlight enveloped the earth, bringing a ray of light to those who were traveling in the dark.

The road was difficult to walk on at night, but fortunately, the Lin family's father and two sons were familiar with the road. The three of them hurriedly walked for dozens of miles. The 50-year-old Mr. Lin was so tired that he almost collapsed. He bent his waist, supported his thighs with his hands, and kept gasping for breath.

Uncle Lin Da and Uncle Lin Er were tall and strong. Uncle Lin Er had practiced martial arts. Seeing that their father was so tired, the two brothers simply took turns carrying Old Man Lin on their backs...

It was probably around the beginning of midnight when the father and his two sons finally returned to Linjia Village after much difficulty and with much difficulty.

……

"Dong dong dong..."

The knock on the door sounded very far away in the quiet night. Grandma Lin was awakened at once. She got out of bed quickly and lit the oil lamp on the table in the dark...

After putting on her coat, Grandma Lin walked out holding the oil lamp, shouting as she walked: "Here I come! Here I come..."

……

After entering the yard and putting down their carpentry tools, the father and his two sons hurried into the main room to find a stool to sit on and some water to drink...

Uncle Lin saw that only his own mother got up to open the door, and he muttered, "What's wrong with Dalang's mother? Why didn't she come out to open the door?"

Grandma Lin glanced at her eldest son and said, "They all went to the fields to harvest food during the day. The work has been very hard these days and everyone is so tired that their backs are almost broken. Why are you waking them up? Let them get some sleep. They still have to go to the fields tomorrow!"

Hearing the knock on the door, Lin Baoer woke up, pricked up her ears, and listened quietly to her grandmother and the others talking outside...

……

"Knock knock knock..." There was another knock on the door. Uncle Lin quickly got up and opened the door.

"Fourth brother? Did you go to your father-in-law's house? Why are you back so late? Why didn't you leave earlier? Oh my God! There were so many refugees along the way. I don't know how you got back. Come in quickly! I'll pull the ox cart..."

……

Lin Laosi and his wife, each holding a child, walked into the courtyard. Seeing that the lights were on in the main room, they walked towards the room.

Grandma Lin came out of the main room, took the sleeping child from Lin Laosi's arms, glared at him, and whispered, "Why don't you stay at your father-in-law's house for one more night? It's so dangerous to come back at night. You've read so many books, but you're so ignorant! Is your father-in-law's illness getting better?"

"Mom, my father-in-law has been taking medicine for a few days and is in good health. We were originally planning to leave tomorrow, but his classmates came to visit him today. I heard them talk about some important things, and I felt anxious.

I left home at 5 p.m. this afternoon. Normally, I should have been home by 12 p.m. But I got hurt on the way. We have come this far. Look! I am fine!"

Lin Laosi opened his arms, turned around in front of his mother, and said guiltily.

"Are you hungry? Fourth daughter-in-law, come with me to get them some food. Go wash up, and go to sleep after you eat. We can talk about it tomorrow!"

……

Grandma Lin and the fourth daughter-in-law each held a child and went to the fourth room. After putting the child to bed, they went to the kitchen together...

……

Outside there were the sounds of several people washing up. Lin Baoer felt there was nothing else to hear, so she closed her ears, collected her mind, and slowly fell asleep again.

What Lin Baoer didn't know was that just as she fell asleep, a ball of golden light suddenly appeared in the room...

The shadow of a golden dragon slowly appeared and floated above Lin Baoer's head. The little golden dragon carefully controlled a ray of purple light and sent it into Lin Baoer's brow...

-

In the imperial study of the palace in the capital of Dongchu, Emperor Tianwu was chatting with Yan Wenchun, the head of the Imperial Hospital, about the prince's condition with a tired look on his face.

"Master Yan, why is the prince still not awake? Didn't they say that after using the thousand-year-old snow lotus, he is getting better?"

Emperor Tianwu frowned. There were too many things going on that were not going his way, and his tone was a little bad.

"Your Majesty, the poison that the Crown Prince has been poisoned with is extremely rare. Many famous poison doctors have never seen this kind of poison. The Millennium Snow Lotus can only suppress it now... but it will soon be unable to suppress it. If that day comes..."

"You are all quacks! It's been several years, and you still don't know the name of the poison that the prince was poisoned with. Are you just going to wait like idiots? Is there no other way? Huh?"

Hearing Yan Wenchun's hesitating, Emperor Tianwu's expression became more and more ugly, and he couldn't help but scold him before he could finish his words.

"I have an idea... I don't know if I should tell you..."

Dean Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead, bent his waist lower and lower, and spoke carefully.

"speak!"

Emperor Tianwu scolded impatiently.

"Your Majesty, the head of the front courtyard, Nangong Yun, is good at poison. If we find him, the prince may be able to survive this disaster."

"How can it be easy! Nangong Yun has been missing for more than 30 years. Where can we find him?"

"Your Majesty, there is also... I heard a rumor a few days ago that Jiang Mengyao, the adopted granddaughter of the old master of the Divine Doctor Valley, is better than her master and has cured many difficult and complicated diseases. Otherwise..."

"Divine Doctor Valley... Didn't Jiang Nantian, the old Valley Master of Divine Doctor Valley, personally come to treat Yu'er last time? He tried every possible method, but in the end, he still couldn't cure the poison. Fortunately, the method to suppress it was the prescription he gave.

Now the old master is too old to leave the valley, and Yu'er can't stand the long journey... How old can the adopted granddaughter be? She can be more than 10 years old at most! Can her medical skills be better than Jiang Nantian's?"

"Your Majesty, how about...how about...giving it a try?"

There was a depressing silence in the imperial study.

……

"Well... all right! Xiao Anzi, you go and make the arrangements. It's okay to invite her to give it a try. Invite the master of the Divine Doctor Valley as well. If the girl doesn't work, we'll have to ask the master to think of another way. The master, Jiang Wansong, has inherited the true teachings of the old master. Maybe he can find other ways to suppress her."

"The slaves obey the orders!"

After bowing and receiving the order, the eunuch chief Xu An left the imperial study.
