Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

……

Afterwards, Grandpa and the others also talked about what happened at home when they were not at home in the past few days.

For example, on the first night, more than 20 thieves tried to climb over the wall to steal. Fortunately, everyone had a strong sense of defense and set traps in advance, so they spent that restless night without any danger.

As for the fact that the city gates were closed soon after they handed the thief over to the county government, they were unable to enter the town to learn about the follow-up situation. However, judging from the county magistrate they met, he was a good official who served the people and would not accept bribes and release the thief privately.

It was a rare opportunity for the group to go home, so they gathered with their families and chatted for a long time until they had lunch and went back to rest. Lin Xiaoyue also kept the sisters who had gone up the mountain with her, and specifically told them to put away their bows and crossbows and not to take them out and be seen by others, so as to avoid trouble.

It's not that she hadn't thought about taking it back and giving it to everyone the next time she went up the mountain. But wouldn't it make people feel uncomfortable to go back and forth? Just think about the little thief that Grandpa mentioned just now who sneaked in at night. If there was really such a lucky thief who avoided the trap they set and slipped into someone's room, it would be okay if there were men, who could hold their own, but what about the girls?

It's not like she has the power to mutate and protect herself.

For a girl who is weak and helpless, if she encounters a thief, the risk factor will be extremely high. You can imagine what kind of inhuman treatment she will receive.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, she reminded everyone to put away their bows and crossbows, and hide them in places where others could not easily touch them, but they could also use them conveniently. They could also practice their aim more in the farm, and when they got the hang of it, they could go to the mountains to hunt some prey, which would relax them and provide food for their families.

Really, everything is arranged clearly for people.

But the key point is that after hearing this, the three girls nodded in agreement, turned around and went back to their rooms to hide their bows and crossbows.

Lin Xiaoyue: ...You are so honest. I feel embarrassed to continue my lazy plan.

At some point, the fourth and fifth children who had gone away came over and pulled at her clothes, tilting their little faces and acting coquettishly to her, "Third sister, third sister, I want that (a crossbow) too. We want to learn how to do it, too. We will catch little rabbits and pheasants for you to eat in the future."

Oh my god, you're showing off too much and you've even led your two little kids astray.

Really, I have to say it, why are the two little guys so caring? It makes your third sister feel a little guilty... It hurts, what should I do?

Lin Xiaoyue also learned from Miao when she was having dinner just now that she had been walking with Xiaocao, her second sister, and Chunxing for so many days, and the two little ones had become the "Wangjieshi" again, squatting at the corner door of the backyard with an umbrella every day. They stared at the back mountain, and no matter how heavy the rain was, they would not listen to the advice of Miao, Lin Lao and others.

"Did you miss your third sister?" Lin Xiaoyue liked the two little kids so much. Although they were only a few months old, the two little guys were sensible and obedient, which always made her feel sweet. They were many times cuter than those domineering and willful kids in modern times who gave their parents a headache.

So, in front of the two little ones, Lin Xiaoyue started to fool around again. She reached into her pocket and took out two lollipops to tease the two kids, and then dragged them around the farm together. She was really bored, so she played hide-and-seek with the two little ones.

In fact, it’s really nice to wear ancient clothes.

The air is good, there are no zombies, and although there are not many high-tech entertainment products, this return to nature can bring peace to people's hearts.

Moreover, think about the modern times. She has no relatives, no money and no house. Most of the money she earns from working part-time every month is spent on rent, so she has to save a lot on other food and expenses.

Now, she can live in a large courtyard with four entrances and four exits, a hundred acres of farmland in the manor, a barren mountain behind it, and a pond. Although it is not just hers, and she lives with everyone, in modern times, she dare not dream of doing so, okay?

She lives in a "park". In her poor living environment and mind, that is where only the richest people can live.

But she is an orphan, how could she be worthy of him?

However, since God has given her the opportunity to come to another world and have relatives and friends, she is already very content.

Of course, if there were no natural disasters or man-made calamities, and she could buy a farm of her own, lock the door and be self-sufficient in all her daily needs, I would not trade it even for a god.

……

Just as Lin Xiaoyue let her imagination fly and held great hopes for a better life in the future, the disaster situation in various places was alleviated because of the heavy rain, allowing every refugee trapped in the quagmire to finally get a little respite in their increasingly depressing escape life.

-----------------

It's not just Wanbao Town. At least under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou City, the nine counties and seventy-two towns and counties, all the larger towns and counties have been sealed off one after another.

No one, whether inside or outside the city gate, is allowed to go in or out to look for relatives or to seek shelter with them under any pretext.

Heavy troops were also posted to guard the roads that must be passed through various places in order to prevent refugees from all over the place from roaming around, looting and becoming bandits, and plundering the surplus food of the people in the villages, causing even more turmoil in people's lives.

The successive natural disasters, coupled with the continuous downpour of rain, meant that the government had no time to arrange for the refugees, and they were all forcibly driven away by soldiers. How to survive has become the most serious problem for the refugees.

Previously, Yongzhou offered options such as returning home to rebuild their homes, reclaiming wasteland on the border, being conscripted into the army, or even having their names tattooed and performing labor service. For those refugees who were hesitant and undecided about making a choice, at least there was room for choice.

But at this point, there was no choice even if I wanted to.

In each city, people crowded into grain and oil stores, desperately buying oil, salt, sauce and vinegar to stock up for their homes. Even if the merchants limited the quantity, purchase limit and raised the price, it could not stop the people from trying their best to stock up on grain.

The more important thing for the government is to speed up the construction of drainage channels, ditches, water windows and culverts to clear the rainwater, sewage and water in the city as soon as possible, so as to prevent the continuous heavy rains in the city from causing the spread of waterlogging and causing chaos and unrest among the people.

However, no matter how chaotic and turbulent the outside world was, once the gate of Lin's manor was closed, everyone inside was eating, drinking, distilling liquor, making alcohol, frying instant noodles, etc. every day without being affected in the slightest.

The only episode was that two days after that day, Zhaotou brought his men to take away the other reserved supplies and said goodbye to everyone, saying that he had to travel in the wind and rain, otherwise he would not be able to reach the destination on time and would be embarrassed to report.

Lin Xiaoyue and the other three had some friendship with Zhao Tou, and thanks to them, they earned a lot of money from the exiled prisoners in the cave. Therefore, before leaving, in order to show their care for the four girls, Grandpa gave them two more jars of distilled liquor and wished them a safe journey and a smooth arrival at the border.
