Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Moreover, Ergou is a person who won't fart even if he is beaten with three sticks. With her impatient temper, she might have been driven to death by herself before she could even finish her words.

After saying that, Lin Xiaoyue waved at him impatiently and sent him back quickly.

Seeing that Ergouzi was still standing there, looking uneasy and wanting to say something, Lin Xiaoyue was too lazy to continue paying attention to him and just buried her head in eating.

Doctor Qiao, who had been with him for a while, saw that Ergou was in a dilemma and spoke up to help him out. He reminded him to be careful when he went back and not to let others see the rice he was carrying, and to remember to ask his mother to come over after he got back on his way.

After spending nearly a month together, Doctor Qiao's prestige in their village had been established unconsciously. In addition, he had been suffering from summer heatstroke recently, and it was thanks to Doctor Qiao's treatment that he was given. Although both parties had paid for the goods and owed nothing to each other, the words that Doctor Qiao said made Er Gouzi inexplicably convinced.

Finally, the person was sent away, and everyone immediately started to attack Lin Xiaoyue.

The reason why Lin Xiaoyue did not avoid everyone in front of everyone was, firstly, that the people in front of her were all her own people and there was no need to hide anything; secondly, if she really brought people into the team later, everyone would know sooner or later.

Rather than trying to make amends later and causing resentment among people, it is better to speak out early.

In fact, she had been feeling increasingly uneasy these past two days, always feeling that something bad was about to happen.

After a great disaster there will be a great epidemic.

Although the current situation is precarious and chaotic, history always repeats itself in surprising ways. Various diseases that cannot be effectively cured in this era have not yet surfaced. The unusual calmness makes her feel that the current situation is just a precursor to the coming storm.

If that day really comes, people can't even protect themselves, let alone all kinds of poultry and livestock. Although they have Dr. Qiao by their side, he is not a veterinarian!

Don't ever say that treating humans is the same as treating animals. There are fundamental differences in the physiological structure of humans and animals, so how can the medication and treatment methods be the same?

Not to mention that after climbing mountains and wading through rivers to the state capital, where should everyone go? Just this journey alone will take at least more than a month, and this is if there is no force majeure.

If an emergency occurs during the process and they are forced to abandon the livestock, it will be fine for other people with healthy limbs, but what about Old Man Lin?

Although she could replace the mule and push the cart herself, if she encountered a sudden attack by bandits or wild beasts, she would have to protect her family on the one hand and fight off the enemy on the other, and she would be unable to do everything.

Therefore, the initial proposal to relocate the entire village to the head of Linjia Village was also out of consideration for unexpected situations.

But now, including Doctor Qiao and his grandson, there were only nine of them. Some were injured, some were weak, and the only ones who could be pulled out to take charge were her, Lin Zhaodi, and Chen Xiaocao…

Such a group of people is so weak that it is shameful to look at them.

Therefore, it is imperative to prepare for a rainy day.

She had carefully observed the character of Ergou and his widowed mother, and knew that the fact that they kept their promises alone had defeated countless families and lone travelers who were displaced and hungry like them.

However, some people cannot bear the pressure of life and choose to indulge in moral degradation again and again in order to survive. They either become liars or thugs with butcher knives. However, Ergou and his mother showed different good qualities.

After hearing Lin Xiaoyue's concerns and plans, everyone fell silent.

The Lin family looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect that Lin Xiaoyue made such arrangements for the sake of her family. They even thought that Lin Xiaoyue had changed her personality.

The faces of the Qiao family's grandparents and grandchildren were not good either, not because there were two more people to share the food, but because they were doctors and should have been more sensitive to the epidemic after the disaster than Lin Xiaoyue. However, they were exhausted from dealing with the increasingly difficult pressure of survival while fleeing, and forgot that the greater potential threat was far more terrifying than what they saw and experienced.

Lin Xiaoyue was able to think three steps ahead and plan carefully for her family in such a difficult environment. But what about them?

This time, Doctor Qiao carefully examined Lin Xiaoyue and tried to look at this little girl who had not yet reached marriage age calmly and objectively.

It has to be said that this girl has been carefully planning for what might happen in the future, from the very beginning when she tried to get the grandparents and grandchildren to join her gang, to today when she has targeted Ergouzi and his mother as the next target.

Is such a thoughtful girl really only fourteen years old? Is she really just a country girl who has never seen the world?

Doctor Qiao found that he could not see through Lin Xiaoyue at all.

Normally, with his experience, he shouldn't be so short-sighted, but Lin Xiaoyue broke his perception again and again. Doctor Qiao looked at him, hiding the gleam in his eyes, and thought to himself: Maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing to let his innocent granddaughter have more contact with this little girl.

However, when he saw the light in his precious granddaughter's eyes as she looked at Lin Xiaoyue... he still couldn't help but get angry.

Why doesn't he get this treatment???

Fell in anger!

……

As they continued on their journey, Doctor Qiao intentionally or unintentionally secretly observed the changes in Lin Xiaoyue and the surrounding environment.

It was not known whether it was bad luck or a warning from God, but after they had walked for about an hour that night, they saw several bodies of refugees who had died of thirst on the roadside.

These fallen people must have died of thirst because they were unable to find water when they passed the river beach before.

Many flies were flying around the corpses, making people panic with their buzzing sounds. The refugees who were walking with heavy steps all looked unhappy, but they could not help but sigh in their hearts, fortunately God had blessed them and let them find water. Otherwise, who knows how many of them would have been like these refugees who fell down and could never stand up again, never to see the sun the next day...

Amid the sighs, there were also people with uneasy thoughts, gritting their teeth and cursing in a low voice with the people around them: Ergou is a fool, a blockhead, with such a good opportunity, he didn't take some good things from his own village, but pushed it away. He didn't even think about how much use it would have if he found a water source on the road later. He is really a blockhead, no matter how you say it, it makes me angry.

There were more than one or two families who had the same idea. They looked through the sparse crowd with resentful eyes, looking behind them, and hurried to the mother and son at the back of the team. The resentment and hatred that they dared not vent to strangers were all poured on Ergou and his mother.

Ergouzi and his mother, who were following behind the refugee group, should have been the first to thank the Lin family for the meal, but when they were about to go over, they were stopped by fellow villagers.
