Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

As for how big the dust was, it was not within everyone's consideration at all. It was good enough to have a roof over the head. There was no need to be picky. It was good enough to just make do with it and have a good night's sleep.

After two nights and one day of not getting a good rest, the physical fatigue overcame the psychological fear, and everyone slept particularly deeply.

When she woke up again, she looked out through the broken window at the dazzling sunlight. Lin Xiaoyue frowned, not knowing what she was thinking, and just stood there in a daze.

It was not until Miao came and called her out for dinner that she came to her senses and followed Miao to the main room.

Now that they were fleeing from the famine, except for the evening meal which everyone ate together, the other two meals were prepared by Miao and Xiaocao. Whoever could spare the time would be responsible.

There was no other way. The others were either unwilling to learn this skill or were responsible for being thugs and on guard. In short, except for the fourth and fifth boys, no one was idle.

I originally thought that Chun Xing understood medical knowledge and should be a very skillful person.

As a result, after trying her cooking skills once or twice, everyone confirmed that she was a killer in cooking, and she was a hell-level one. From then on, everyone no longer allowed her to waste food.

When Lin Xiaoyue came over, Father Lin and Doctor Qiao were chatting while they were busy with their own work. One of them was sorting the herbs that were drying, and the other was weaving straw hats. It was nice to be able to relieve boredom while not delaying work.

Miao was chatting with Ergou's mother, talking and laughing. It was totally different from when she was with Xiaocao, where Miao was the only one talking and Xiaocao was the only one listening. There was less interaction, and it felt a bit awkward.

Miao and Ergou's mother were of similar age, so Lin Xiaoyue was not surprised that they could chat together. Instead, she felt that this was the way it should be. It just happened to free up Xiaocao so that she wouldn't have to chat with him every day, which would suppress her lively nature at this age.

After looking around and not seeing anyone else, Lin Xiaoyue asked Miao, only to find out that Xiaocao and Lin Zhaodi had just eaten and rested.

Chun Xing took the two little kids, who had a good night's sleep and had too much energy to vent, out for a walk. She also wanted to see if there were any herbs she could pick and bring them back to Doctor Qiao to prepare and keep for future use.

The two little kids followed her around happily, watching Chun Xing holding a small hoe, digging here and there, and found it very interesting. Chun Xing was also kind, and gave them two spare small hoes, and carefully explained to the two little ones the medicinal properties of different herbs and how to carefully collect them so as not to damage the roots.

Ergou was greatly shocked by what happened last night. He was still in a daze and couldn't recover. He locked himself in the room and acted like an autist.

Er Gou's mother didn't plan to comfort him this time, just let him think it through. Otherwise, he would not learn from his mistakes every time, and sooner or later he would get into trouble, but no one would help him.

On the table, there was porridge and pickles, but no bone soup. Lin Xiaoyue raised her eyebrows, her eyes rolled, and she figured out the reason.

Originally, it was said that Old Man Lin's leg was still in the healing period. When they hunted wolves in the cave before, the Lin family tried their best to cook the meat in various ways before it went bad. They asked Lin Xiaoyue to keep all the bones for Old Man Lin to make soup slowly.

To this day, there is still a large supermarket shopping bag of bones left.

Of course, in order to keep the bones fresh, Lin Xiaoyue only took a basket to put them under the shopping cart, and she and Lin Zhaodi took turns to keep them. Every day, she took out one or two bones to make bone soup for Miao, but in fact, most of them were kept in the space for freshness, leaving only a few outside for decoration.

As for the bones that were taken out, they were not affected by the high temperature at all and did not go bad or stink. Without Lin Xiaoyue's explanation, Miao automatically understood it as the blessing of the "gods".

That’s good, it saves Lin Xiaoyue the energy of racking her brains to come up with excuses.

Thanks to the almighty "God".

The dinner table.

Farmers don't follow the rule of 'don't talk while eating, don't talk while sleeping'; those are the rules followed only by wealthy families.

After taking a mouthful of porridge and chewing some pickles, Lin Xiaoyue asked everyone else if they had eaten.

Miao told her not to worry, as she was the only one who hadn't eaten yet. Even Ergou's mother, who was helping Miao to prepare the dough for making dumplings in the evening, had eaten.

After swallowing the food in her mouth, Lin Xiaoyue asked Ergou's mother to move towards her, and in front of everyone in the hall, she asked her directly whether she was willing to join their team.

No matter what she does, if they encounter robbers on the road, she will let her dog protect them. When it comes to defending against external enemies, she is enough. If it doesn't work, there are Xiaocao and Lin Zhaodi.

As for Er Gou's mother, if they encounter someone who is blind on the road and argue with them, Miao and Lin's father are both soft-tempered and afraid of being taken advantage of. I hope Er Gou's mother can help and protect them more.

Correspondingly, their team would also protect Ergou and his mother, and at the same time, take care of their three meals a day, just like Doctor Qiao. Whatever the Lin family eats, they and their son will also eat.

Faced with such a huge temptation, Ergou's mother did not hesitate at all and agreed to it on the spot by slamming the table.

Just kidding, she's not blind.

Judging from the complexion of the Lin family, they were many times better than most refugees. When others were short of water, the Lin family not only had water, but also clean and unpolluted water to drink. The most important thing was that the girl's fighting ability was very strong, and the three villains last night were the most powerful evidence in front of them.

Don't say that the little girl's methods are bloody and cruel. People have come to your door, and you are still shrinking your neck and pretending to be a coward? Are you okay?

Besides, the little girl is absolutely smart. No one noticed that there was something wrong with the broth yesterday. It was thanks to the little girl who reminded them. Otherwise, if everyone was like her stupid son..., they would have been killed without a word.

If she could go on the journey with the little girl, maybe after a while, her son's brain, which was as stupid as shit, would be enlightened. She didn't expect to suddenly enlighten a piece of rotten wood, there would always be a gradual process. As long as there was a little improvement, she would pray to God and Buddha, and be grateful.

So, when Lin Xiaoyue extended the olive branch, Ergou's mother agreed without hesitation. As for the opinion of her stupid son, that was not important.

If he dares to have other ideas, I guarantee his mother will be able to make him obedient.

Okay, Ergou's mother has made the final decision. Ergou is just a free gift. He has no say, so just follow her.

It was a very pleasant meal. After solving the problem, Lin Xiaoyue did not stay in the house any longer. She wanted to go out and look for the shortcut that the family mentioned yesterday.

She believed that even if that family had malicious intentions, not everything they said was necessarily false, especially regarding the matter of taking a shortcut. Lin Xiaoyue felt that there was more than an 80% chance that it was true.
