Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Chapter 154 Destruction of the Sacrifice

She couldn't find the answer and was very confused. She felt she couldn't find the direction to move forward and couldn't figure out why she came to another world.

If God took pity on her for the hardships she had in her previous life and allowed her to be reborn and travel to another world, and she came here and encountered a disaster from heaven, then what was the meaning of her rebirth? What was the purpose of traveling through time?

I can't figure it out and I can't understand it.

Lin Xiaoyue felt that she was shrouded in a thick fog and could not find any exit at all, until a long howl to the sky broke her silence.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already night. There was a dead forest beside me. In front of me, there was a flickering fire and dim shadows. It seemed that there were many people gathered in front of a bonfire, kneeling together and praying to the sky.

"Dragon King, we, the Linjia Village, all men, women, old and young, have prepared good animals and delicious food here..., and worship here devoutly. We also ask the Five Emperors and Five Dragons to send down light and wind. Spread moisture widely and assist the Thunder God. Water from all over the world is the most important. The divine talisman orders you, and Changchuan obeys. Anyone who dares to disobey will be spared by the thunder axe. Hurry and obey the order. Five Emperors and Five Dragons, send down light..."

This sound...

Lin Xiaoyue felt a little familiar with the voice. Father Lin in the car over there exclaimed, "Village head, it's the village head... Great, we found the team."

Uh..., no wonder I felt that the voice shouting continuously, why did it feel a little bit familiar, it turned out that the organization was found, no wonder Father Lin was so excited.

The villagers, whose solemn prayer ceremony was interrupted, stopped what they were doing and turned around when they heard the creaking sound of the wheels rolling on the ground and the excited and joyful shouts.

It was… Lin Laosan’s family? They were fine and even caught up with the team…

Many people in the crowd widened their eyes in surprise; some were delighted, some were concerned, some were worried, some were shocked, and some were angry and resentful; a sudden noise broke out in the crowd.

Li stood up tremblingly from the ground with the help of his eldest son Lin Baotian, his eyes red with excitement, "It's okay..., the third brother's family is okay... It's good that they are okay, it's good..."

It is said that men do not shed tears easily, but they just don't cry until they are sad. There were many difficulties along the way to escape. When Linjia Village set out, there were more than 500 people in it, a huge team. Now, in just over a month, more than 100 people have been lost, and there are only more than 400 people left...

When setting out, the village head still had a glimmer of longing and hope for the future, hoping that all the villagers could find a place to settle down and live a good life.

But such a humble hope was shattered by the series of heavy blows during this month.

Disasters were rampant, and the area was burning for thousands of miles. There was a lack of food and water, and many people, young and old, died or were injured... After traveling hundreds of miles, more than a hundred villagers in Linjia Village were killed or injured. No one knew the pain and collapse in the heart of the village head.

Now, seeing that the third branch of the Lin family who had fallen behind when leaving the village had caught up with them all in one piece and in one piece, how could the old man not feel extremely moved and excited.

Even the families of Lin Dashan and Niu Laogen, who had caught up with the village team earlier, stood up excitedly from the crowd kneeling on the ground when they saw the people from the third branch of the Lin family, and involuntarily went over to greet them.

But... not everyone expressed surprise and welcome at their sudden appearance.

At least, some people who were jumping around happily during this period, when they saw Lin Xiaoyue's devilish figure, all changed their faces and were scared to death, "Mom, mom, look at them... they are not dead, what should we do? What should we do now?

Old Mrs. Lin in the crowd frowned slightly, and seeing the panic-stricken look on her second daughter-in-law's face, she suddenly grabbed her sleeve tightly, and was extremely displeased and couldn't speak clearly. She winked at the eldest daughter-in-law beside her, asking her to hide the person...

The eldest daughter-in-law, Chen, was not much better off than the second daughter-in-law, Ying. Her lips were trembling and her whole body was emitting an aura of panic and fear. She couldn't help but wonder if it was too late for her to escape now.

Unfortunately, her parents-in-law and her husband were staring at her. How could she run? She couldn't run.

It’s all over…

"It was him. It was Lin Laosan's family who destroyed the sacrifice. The Dragon King will not rain on us anymore. They are sinners. Burn them to death, burn them to death..."

Among the crowd of several hundred people, a man suddenly shouted loudly, instigating the villagers who were on the verge of death to point their spearheads at Lin Laosan's family.

"...Yes, Lin Lao San destroyed the sacrifice and angered the Dragon King. All the people in our Lin Village are going to be killed by them."

"Burn them to death! They are the sinners of Linjia Village. Burn them to death. Otherwise, we cannot quell the anger of the Dragon King, and the Dragon King will not rain on us."

"Burn, burn them to death, burn them to death..."

……

More and more villagers, as if they had lost their minds, followed suit and shouted.

For a moment, the crowd was filled with rage, and the malice was overwhelming towards the Lin family. Father Lin felt dizzy and his eyes went dark. There was only one voice echoing in his mind, how could it be? How could this happen? We finally found the team, why did they burn them to death...?

Miao couldn't withstand the malicious attack and fell to the ground. The Lin sisters cried out in surprise and hurriedly helped her up.

After the initial shock, Lin Xiaoyue quickly realized that these people were simply using the excuse of forcing their family to death and then openly robbing them of their supplies.

There was no way around it. Their family was so well off compared to the hundreds of refugees in front of them who were ragged, haggard, emaciated, and starving. It made people jealous to the point of going crazy.

In the past, their family was the lowest class in the village and was pitied by everyone. They were like ants that needed help from others just to barely survive.

Now, in the midst of a disaster, their family lives better than anyone else. They have a car, food, clothes, and so many reasons that make them jealous to the point of madness and wish to tear them apart. How can those people who are driven to collapse by hunger still have any sense left?

Under the instigation of those with ulterior motives, they naturally pointed their spearheads directly at the third branch of the Lin family. After all, as long as they were killed, these supplies would belong to everyone. So, in order to survive, do they need any better reason and excuse than "disrupting the sacrifice"?

"Go ahead, tie them up and burn them to death..."

"Burn them to death..."

"We are many in number, we are not afraid of them, hurry up and subdue them."

"The third girl and her father are both injured. Don't be afraid, hurry up and do it."

"You...you are crazy, stop it...stop it..."

The headman's angry voice was drowned out by the surging crowd, not causing a single ripple. The Lin family's team was forced to retreat step by step by the surging crowd. The cows and mules were whining in anxiety and stamping their hooves. If the reins had not been held tightly by someone, they would have been frightened and rushed around.
