Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

"Don't worry, if those people from the Lin family's old house cause trouble to you again, just go find your village head grandfather. He is the most fair person."

"Well, thank you, Grandpa Lizheng and Grandma Chen first."

The village head didn't have time to finish his words before he was pushed aside by his wife. After a moment of hesitation, Chen accepted the meat brought by the two maids and quickly turned around to go into the inner room.

The village head was slow to react. He took back Erkang's hand awkwardly, put his hand against his mouth and coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.

The two little girls didn't care about Chen's attitude. After all, they brought the things to give to the head of the village, so what did it matter who received them?

Lin Xiaoyue saw that the village head was very embarrassed and smiled, "Grandpa village head, we are lucky today and got some bear meat. So, I cut some and brought it here. Please tell Grandma Chen later. The meat is hard, but it is also very nutritious. It just costs some firewood and needs to be stored for a long time before it is soft and delicious."

"What???? Bear meat????"

The village head was shocked by the news, and his eldest grandson beside him opened his mouth in surprise.

Lin Zhaodi did not hesitate to repeat what she had just said to Aunt Dashan and Aunt Niu, which shocked the head of the village.

They looked at Lin Xiaoyue in disbelief, surprised at how skilled and courageous this girl was. They kept reminding them with concern that they must pay more attention to safety when going up the mountain and must not act rashly, and so on.

The village head showed his genuine concern for them. Lin Xiaoyue and Lin Zhaodi appreciated his kindness and promised to be more careful about safety when they go up the mountain in the future. Then they asked, "Grandpa village head, is Uncle Baotian here?" (Baotian is the second son of the village head)

The village head was still in shock. He was interrupted by Lin Xiaoyue and didn't react for a moment. "What? Oh, is there something wrong? Your uncle Baotian is cleaning up the house in the backyard right now!"

"Grandpa, I'll go call dad." The village head's grandson rushed to the backyard like an arrow without saying a word.

Lin Xiaoyue scratched her head in embarrassment. "Nothing. I just bumped into a stupid pig when I came back this afternoon. I carried it back with me. I was thinking of selling it in town tomorrow to earn some money and then exchange it for some rice and flour. Hey, there is really no rice left at home."

"That's easy! Tomorrow morning I'll ask your uncle Baotian to drive the ox cart to your house, and you can go to town with him to sell what you need to sell and buy what you need to buy."

The head of the village agreed immediately and turned back to Chen in the house and said, "Old woman, weigh out two kilograms of rice and flour for Erya and the others to take back as a last resort."

The room was quiet for a moment, then there was a burst of banging and smashing noises. Before Chen could start to curse, Lin Zhaodi quickly interrupted her, stopped the head of the village, and shouted into the room, "Grandpa Head, Grandma Chen, it's not necessary. We have enough food at home for tomorrow morning. When the time comes, we can ask Uncle Baotian to take us to the town to sell the wild boar and exchange it for some food."

"Yes, Grandpa Li Zheng, it's okay. My second sister and I will go home first. Please tell Uncle Baotian to take us to the town tomorrow. Please, Grandpa Li Zheng! We will leave first!"

When the head of the village saw that the two girls were running faster than loaches, he couldn't help but sigh that the two girls were really sensible and ran so fast because they were afraid of embarrassing him.

After leaving the headman's house, the two sisters were very happy on the way back home.

This time, when they went to the village head's house, they not only expressed their gratitude, but also pleased the village head's wife. Although Grandma Chen was a little greedy, she was straightforward and not difficult to deal with. I believe that if the old house causes trouble for their family again, the village head grandfather will not have to step in. Grandma Chen will definitely lend a hand for the sake of the meat she sent today.

Thinking of this, the two of them walked home with ease, laughing and joking all the way.

……

The night was extremely quiet. Although there was a slight chill in the air, it was also extremely fresh.

The chirping of small animals could be heard in the bushes, and the stars in the sky were clearer than today, hanging in the night sky like a Milky Way. The full moon hanging high in the sky was more like a bright lamp, guiding them home.

I have been in the ancient times for half a month. Although it is not the first time I look up at the starry sky, I have been locked in the room every day during this half month. I can only look out through the window. The sky I see is at most the size of a palm. Unlike tonight, standing outside, looking up, I can see the boundless starry sky.

Lin Xiaoyue took a deep breath greedily, feeling lucky that she was blessed by God and could be reborn again to enjoy the joy of life once again.

She secretly vowed to live a good life here and make the chance of rebirth given to her by God worthwhile.

After returning to the shabby hut, Lin's mother and two sisters had already gone to bed.

Lin Xiaoyue and Lin Zhaodi looked at each other, covered their mouths and smiled secretly, then went to the yard to wash up, and then quietly climbed back to their bed made of hay, covered themselves with quilts and fell asleep together.

I thought that after a day of relaxation, I would still be in an excited state and would have trouble sleeping at night, but the result was unexpected.

To be honest, she had a fierce battle with wild beasts on this day, and then had a head-on confrontation with a wild boar when she was going down the mountain. Although she could afford the physical exertion, she was quite troubled by the interactions with people, and her brain was swollen. Therefore, not long after she touched the pillow, Lin Xiaoyue fell asleep.

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

The next morning, Lin Baotian drove a ox cart to Lin Laosan's house as promised.

By this time, the two sisters had already packed up and dug the two little ones out of the quilt. While they were half asleep and half awake, they helped them dress and wash, and fed each of them half a bowl of wild vegetable soup. Then, the eldest son of the village head, Lin Baotian, arrived.

When Lin Zhaodi opened the door, she saw Aunt Baotian also on the ox cart, breathing heavily wrapped in an old quilt.

When she saw Lin Zhaodi coming out, she waved to her and greeted her, then immediately shrank back into the quilt and smiled at her embarrassedly.

Lin Baotian got off the cart and walked towards her, rolling up his sleeves and saying, "When you and San Yatou came here yesterday, I was still packing up farm tools in the backyard. Shuqin (Lin Baotian's son) came running to call me in a panic and couldn't say anything clearly for a long time. When I got to the front, you two kids had already left. My father said you were going to the town to sell wild boars. Come, uncle will go in and help you carry them."

Lin Zhaodi wanted to say no, but Lin Xiaoyue was already coming out, carrying the wild boar on one shoulder and a bamboo basket in the other hand, with two little kids jumping behind her.

That bold and unrestrained spirit shocked Lin Baotian and his wife.

When Lin Xiaoyue came up, Aunt Baotian moved towards the front of the car to make more space in the back.
