Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

"That's right, aunt, don't worry too much. That thing is over. We have finally survived. We have to look forward and stop worrying about the past." This was Chun Xing's voice. She was fiddling with the herbs in her hands and adding in coordination with her grandfather.

After last night's battle, she admired Sister San Ya even more. Facing those tall and strong guards with muscular bodies, she remained calm and collected and killed them all in a few quick strikes. She was so amazing.

No, no, she would have to wait until Sister San Ya wakes up and ask her for advice. If she could learn a few tricks from her, it would be enough to save her life.

Hehe, she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth when she imagined herself sweeping across the world in the future, looking heroic and majestic, and beating down all the men who dared to bully her and making them cry for their parents.

Ergou sat leaning against the entrance of the cave, listening to the noisy discussions inside. He glanced expressionlessly at the people sitting around the campfire, then turned back and closed his eyes to rest.

A few people chatted for a while, and when Xiaocao came back from collecting firewood outside, he wiped his hands and ran to check on Lin Xiaoyue's condition, only to find that she had woken up a long time ago.

She was so happy that she immediately went forward to help the person up, asked about her condition with concern, and did not forget to call out to other people loudly.

Lin Zhaodi came over with the water bag, put it under Lin Xiaoyue's mouth, and let her drink a few sips. Seeing that she was fine, she felt a little relieved.

Doctor Qiao felt Lin Xiaoyue's pulse and saw that she was fine. He only gave two instructions: she had lost too much blood and needed to rest. Before he could say anything else, Chun Xing pushed him aside and said that he wanted to change the dressing on San Ya's wound. All the men stepped aside, and then he asked someone to draw the curtain and changed the dressing on San Ya himself.

Doctor Qiao was humiliated by his own granddaughter. Even if he was angry, he couldn't say anything. He could only grit his teeth and leave in anger.

Miao didn't know when her daughter woke up, whether she heard her discouraging words, and how much she heard. Now she felt uneasy and pulled the curtain, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Lin Xiaoyue ignored her. Miao was just a bit cowardly, and she didn't have any bad intentions. But she couldn't take care of comforting Miao at the moment. She just wanted to know whether the bodies of those people were properly handled.

Lin Zhaodi was afraid of waking up Xiaosi and Xiaowu, so she lowered her voice and whispered to Lin Xiaoyue about what happened after she fell into a coma.

All the young ladies, maids, guards, and even the refugees who had been hacked to death were piled into the carriage and burned to death.

Before burning, Lin Zhaodi and Xiaocao searched the carriage and the people's bodies, taking out all the valuables. There were more than 1,300 taels of silver alone, including 800 taels of silver notes, and the rest were cash. Doctor Qiao checked them and found that they were silver notes exchanged during the Dayuan Dynasty, and they were real. There were also two large bags of rice and flour, as well as a box of exquisite cakes, dried meat, snacks, etc.

Damn, rich people not only show off when they go out, but also carry so much food with them. It's really like there's wine and meat in the rich houses but people freeze to death on the streets.

They were reluctant to let go of the horses. They wanted to bring all of them back, but half of them ran away, and they had to work very hard to catch four of them.

There were also the guards' knives, all of which were shiny brightly. No one minding the blood on them, they picked them all up.

As Lin Zhaodi spoke, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that their group of people had a really unfortunate fate. They were originally genuine farmers with a good family background, but they had become scavengers.

However, there are hardships and joys. At least, they are much better off than most refugees. Not only do they have mule carts and ox carts for transportation, but they also have surplus food. Occasionally, if they encounter a few people who come up to rob people, they can counter-rob them and make a fortune.

They are so wealthy that it is not wrong to say that they are better off than most refugees fleeing famine.

Lin Xiaoyue pondered for a moment, and told Lin Zhaodi to keep half of the 800 grain and silver notes, and give the remaining 400 taels to Doctor Qiao and Er Gou's mother, each half. After all, those people were killed by their own family, so it was reasonable to take the lion's share. The rest of the cash could be divided into three parts, and each family could get more than 100 taels. Although these silvers could not make people rich, they were enough for ordinary people to have food and drink for a lifetime.

The three families ate from one big pot, so there was nothing to share.

We cannot take the knives. After all, they come from a wealthy family. If there are any marks on them or they are custom-made, and they take them out to use, and someone recognizes them, trouble will ensue.

If a horse runs away, it runs away. If you catch it, you can’t keep it.

It's not that I don't want to give one horse to Ergou's family to make their life easier, but horses are something that ordinary people can't afford. This is the case in peaceful years, let alone in years of disaster. If one shows up, it will be troublesome in a minute.

Instead of keeping it to cause trouble, just kill it and eat the meat.

Lin Xiaoyue sentenced the four horses to death directly. The Qiao family's grandparents and grandchildren had nothing to say. They felt that Lin Xiaoyue's approach was right and that hesitating to make a decision would only lead to chaos.

The Lin family listened to Lin Xiaoyue. Although they felt sorry for the animals, they did not object. Only Miao was a little hesitant. But Lin Xiaoyue made the interests clear. Even if she was unwilling to be tolerant, she could not leave a source of trouble for her family.

Er Gou's mother would not say anything, because her family was the last to join, and they had to rely on the Lin family to avoid starvation and thirst. Moreover, all the things were collected by the Lin family, and they did not contribute much, so how could they have the nerve to point fingers and gossip?

In addition, Lin Zhaodi stuffed more than 300 taels of silver into her pocket. She had never seen so much money in her life. She was completely stunned and dared not accept it no matter what. But Lin Zhaodi said that they were all in the same boat and everyone should get a share. If she didn't accept it, could it be that she was planning to report their family later?

This scared Ergou's mother so much that she kept waving her hands and denying it repeatedly.

Are you kidding? I even reported it, but before I could succeed, I was silenced by those unreasonable rich families.

Having made the decision, they decided to stay in the cave for another day. Lin Xiaoyue found a free time and used the excuse of going out for a walk, while also putting all the guards' knives into the space.

No way, if you throw it anywhere, someone might find it, but throwing it in space is different. After all, is there any place in the world safer than her space?

At the same time, with the heart-wrenching neighing of the four horses, they were all slaughtered indiscriminately with the white knives going in and the red knives coming out.

The horses were so worried that they were dying that they cried out loudly. Fortunately, they were hiding far from the main road, otherwise, they would have attracted many hungry refugees to rob them.

While avoiding the refugees, everyone started the fire, cut the good meat first, and fried it. The rest was marinated with salt particles and put into clay pots. The ones that couldn't fit in were cut into small pieces, easy to eat, and some were hidden in each car, so that if they got separated, they wouldn't starve to death for a while.
