Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

It was a time of chaos, with turmoil both inside and outside the Dayuan Dynasty. The situation changed everywhere and people were in panic. Only Lin Xiaoyue and his group, who were fleeing famine somewhere on the border, were surprisingly leisurely and contented, not affected by the shadow of natural disasters or man-made calamities, and roamed freely in the Shiwanda Mountains.

With nine animals along the way, the group did not have to carry heavy loads, and with plenty of food and water, even if they were fleeing from the famine, it was an extremely easy journey for them. In fact, even a picnic would not be as pleasant as theirs.

Several people walked while chewing the sizzling grilled skewers made with Aunt Dashan's secret recipe, and drank the wine they got from the bandits' lair in the water bag. They ate one bite of meat and one sip of wine while walking. It was so cool.

If they weren't worried about drinking too much and becoming dizzy and unable to walk, these people would definitely drink as much as they can.

The women didn't drink alcohol, so their water bags were filled with clear well water. Fortunately, the bandits dug a deep well. They even measured it and found it was more than 80 meters deep.

My goodness, the wells in the village are usually dug to a depth of 20 to 30 meters, and 50 meters is the limit. With every meter you drill down, the oxygen becomes thinner. Not to mention the difficulty in breathing, even the mud, sand and rocks are difficult to handle. It is extremely difficult to drill deeper.

More than 80 meters, it was really hard for them to imagine where these bandits could find such a powerful master to dig wells. With such good skills, there would be plenty of rich people in the prefectures and counties who would come to the master to find work. Why would they have to dig wells in the deep mountains and forests for the bandits?

I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.

However, even if we take a step back, they will not stay in the village for too long anyway.

They are authentic old farmers. Not only would they feel uncomfortable staying in the bandits' den, but even if they stay, they cannot change their careers and become bandits.

Don't say you don't have the guts, even if you have the slightest clue, where are your land? Where are your household registration? Where are your relatives? Are you going to give them all up?

Forget it, even if they were tempted, they had to leave in the end. Moreover, they also got the property of the bandits. It was really a great bargain for nothing, all thanks to Lin Xiaoyue.

Even Old Man Lin and Mrs. Miao also benefited from their daughter. In the past, they always walked around with hunched backs and shrunk necks, looking cowardly and decadent. Now, their journey to escape famine is not over yet, but the honest couple can hold their heads high and walk with big strides. Isn't it because they can have children?

Although she gave birth to a girl, she is more capable than a boy. Even the mountain king is subdued by her. I just want to ask you whether you are convinced or not.

"By the way, Old Man Lin, what are you twisting in your hand?" Lin Baotian took a bite of the meat skewer, his mouth full of food, and asked vaguely. Lin Laosan, who was twisting the iron sheet with two pliers, had a forehead full of question marks.

He had been looking at Old Man Lin for a long time. Although he was sitting on Lin Xiaoyue's back with his back against the back rack, his hands never stopped moving. Everyone looked at him but couldn't figure out what was going on, so they just started asking.

"This is called a horse nail. My daughter said it's very useful." Father Lin immediately started bragging to his daughter. "My daughter said that next time if we encounter a large animal or a bandit, we should scatter these on the ground. I guarantee those fools will step on them and scream in pain."

"That's amazing, Father Lin, come and show me what this thing called a horse nail is made of."

"Wow, what a powerful guy! A small one was scattered on the ground, and I didn't pay attention. I was really caught by accident."

"I wonder what's wrong with Sanya's mind. She can come up with such a good idea without thinking. I think we can use this horse nail when we are on night watch. It happens to be a dark and windy night. Except for the area around the fire, no one can find us if we are a little further away."

"Okay, okay, Father Lin, come here, show me what you can do with those weird things in your hands. I'll twist a few out of them too. Don't do it alone. You've been twisting for quite some time, and your hands must be tired. It's my turn to try."

"There's me, there's me, I'm coming too."

"Father Lin, do you have more tools? Bring out a few more. We can work together while we walk and get more out."

"That's right. This thing is also used to protect everyone's safety. You can't just do it alone. Everyone should work together."

"Come on, Lin Xiaoshan, if you can calm down that eagerness to try in your eyes, I might believe your lies. You sound pretty good and nice, you have made progress."

The hunter next to him had a big appetite. When everyone else had almost finished eating, he was still wolfing down the food in big mouthfuls, and his eating manner was particularly appetizing. He was quite amazing.

Even though everyone admired the hunter's good appetite, they were powerless. Really, he was too full, and his stomach would explode if he ate any more.

Five pigs, five pigs, no, half of them were pork. The village head welcomed Tiger to join the group and roasted them for him. Tiger became addicted. Since that day, at least twice a day, Tiger would drag one or two prey for the village head to roast for him. The village head had been a village official for half his life, and this was the first time he turned to the pooper scooper track. In order to get close to Tiger, he did not let others help him and rolled up his sleeves to work happily.

After a few days, the village chief had made great progress in his barbecue skills. From the fact that Tiger Lord would occasionally let him tear some meat by himself and share the taste with him, we could tell how satisfied Tiger Lord was with the novice shit shoveler.

Of course, after Lord Tiger joined, their group really acted like a fox borrowing the power of the tiger and acted recklessly in the mountains.

If there were any ferocious beasts, they would have smelled the scent of the king of beasts from miles away and would have run away long ago with their tails between their legs.

Occasionally, when Lord Tiger is happy, he will bring some wild deer, pheasants, etc. to provide a snack for everyone. So even if there is a famine in the outside world, the deep mountains and old forests that no one enters are actually a hidden treasure land.

But everyone did not get too carried away and forget the goal of going to the provincial capital. They continued to move forward step by step in the direction of the provincial capital with determination.

The female members of the family were also looking at the backpacks of the Miao and Lin sisters curiously.

Although the Miao family used the fabrics they found in the village to cover the backpack Lin Xiaoyue gave them with three layers of cloth, and even the shoulder straps were specially wrapped, the shape was still there. Carrying it across the shoulders seemed to save a lot of effort.

Miao also knew that she couldn't open the bag and let people look inside, as it would be exposed. However, she held the bag in her hand and didn't let go. She just held it up and explained it to everyone, and generously let everyone try it on.

After all, it is the crystallization of wisdom after thousands of years, and no one has ever said anything bad about it.

Everyone gave a thumbs up and praised Miao for her ingenuity. Even Lin Dahua received a backpack from Lin Xiaoyue before leaving.
