Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

As for the people that her second sister Lin Zhaodi and Lin Xiaoyue rescued from the ruins of Hexi Village, Lin Xiaoyue suggested that they should not be kept. Not to mention that her family was now in a state of panic and unable to take care of themselves, let alone adding four strangers who had met by chance.

The two sisters saved people out of moral obligation, but that doesn't mean they have the obligation to be responsible for these people until the end, and even have to take care of their food, clothing, housing, transportation, eating, drinking, and defecating in the future.

That doesn't make sense.

Saving their lives has already been the most we can do. As for what to do next, everyone has their own destiny.

Not to mention that among the four people, one became a disabled person with a broken leg, and the other three were children who could not take care of themselves.

Please, if this happened in the end times, not to mention that a few children are already considered big, even a three-year-old baby knows to control his mouth and not to shout casually, lest he bring about a fatal disaster. Everyone should be responsible for themselves, instead of forcing their own fate to be tied to others.

It is a moral obligation for others to help you, and it is understandable that they do not help you.

The family became more and more silent in the face of Lin Xiaoyue's almost cold and heartless words. They said nothing and it was so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing.

……

When the sun was high in the sky, everyone had finished breakfast.

Lin Xiaoyue asked everyone to sit together to discuss something.

On behalf of her family, she briefly explained her family's decision to everyone. Lin Dashan and Niu Laogen's family immediately slapped their thighs and protested loudly.

The two families said that since they had agreed to stay together, they should advance and retreat together, help each other, and there was no reason for them to leave first.

Father Lin was very touched and felt guilty. He sat with his back against a tree, holding his injured leg wrapped in thick gauze tightly with both hands, unable to move. He suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and tried to be calm and restrained as possible, relaying to the two families what San Ya had analyzed to him earlier.

They did this because the two families did not owe them anything. The three families decided to stay together yesterday to look for someone, and now that the two families have found their loved ones, there is no need to stay with them and wait, wasting precious time.

Although the town is now in chaos, no one knows when the government will restart and conscript corvée from various villages. This is like a sword hanging over everyone's head, which may fall at any time and cut your neck.

The risk of staying is too great, and there is really no need for the two families to take such a big risk for them.

Secondly, if only the Lin family members stayed, it would be more convenient and faster to act. On the contrary, if too many people stayed, it would be easy to have disagreements, and it would be inconvenient to do things with their hands tied.

Instead of doing this, it is better to leave your family alone and act faster.

Neither Lin Dashan nor Niu Laogen were stupid. The meaning of Lin Lao's words was very clear, he just felt that too many people were a nuisance.

Lin Dashan and Liu Laogen: …

Having been honest all his life, now he was forced to say a bunch of things that were inconsistent with his heart. Old Man Lin felt as if his heart was burning on fire. He was so embarrassed that he almost wanted to dig a hole in the ground, crawl into it, and bury himself alive.

The words are a bit harsh, but the point is that they are true.

Upon hearing this, the two families fell silent. The atmosphere became so heavy that it was hard to breathe.

Lin Xiaoyue was not an ungrateful person. The two families were willing to stay and help out of kindness. They valued friendship and loyalty. They stayed to help each other in the past. However, it was really unnecessary for her.

No one knew how far away the Linjia Village team, which had gone ahead, was from them. Would they slow down and wait for the three families to catch up and join them?

Old Man Lin's family stayed behind, letting the other two families go ahead and catch up with the large group ahead to join them. First, they hoped that the team would be stronger, and if they met a small group of refugees or bandits on the way, they would not dare to rob them easily because of their powerful momentum. Second, they only planned to stay in this place for two days. After two days, whether they found Lin Dahua or not, they would set off immediately and would not delay for a quarter of an hour.

Besides, they were located close to the border, and further north was the border. All the refugees who came to escape the famine came from the north, which meant that the situation in the north was extremely serious.

Lin Dahua and the villagers who escaped alive from Hexi Village would not choose to go north unless they were kicked in the brain by a donkey.

It was very likely that the villagers of Hexi Village who escaped alive were also fleeing in the same direction as them. If they were fast, they might even be ahead of their group.

In this way, Lin Dashan and Niu Laogen's families will go first. If they are lucky, they might meet their sister Dahua ahead. At that time, they can help them to inform each other. At least Dahua will have an idea in her mind and won't have to worry about them.

This way, it's better for everyone.

After talking for a long time, Lin Xiaoyue was almost driven crazy by her own hidden chatterbox nature. She finally stopped talking to catch her breath, took the water bag handed to her by Miao, and drank several gulps with her head tilted back.

Lin Xiaoyue was not in a hurry to force them to make a decision, giving everyone enough time to relax and digest the situation.

The families of Lin Dashan and Niu Laogen calmed down, analyzed what Lin Xiaoyue said, and felt that it made sense. The two families couldn't help but become more silent, feeling indescribably heavy and depressed in their hearts.

Lin Xiaoyue: ...

There's no need, there's really no need, I just think too many people are a nuisance.

After convincing the two families, it became easier to communicate with the person who stole the stolen item, oh no, the person who was rescued.

The owner of the shop where Niu Tietou worked was named Luo, and the head of the family was called Luo Changming.

Luo's father died early, leaving Luo's mother to raise her son alone with great difficulty. She also helped him marry and buy a house. After her granddaughter Luo Qianqian was born, she let go of the power of housekeeping and accompanied her granddaughter to grow up.

Mrs. Luo was born in the south of the Yangtze River and was a typical beautiful girl from a small family.

During a trip, they met Luo, the shopkeeper, who came to Jiangnan to purchase goods. They fell in love at first sight and fell in love again. Both parents loved their children and did not make things difficult for them. They soon let the couple get married.

After getting married, Mrs. Luo bid farewell to her parents and followed her husband to the border to do business.

Over the years, she has been virtuous and has helped her husband to keep the home in order. She is a good wife and mother that everyone envy.

The turmoil came with great force, disrupting their peaceful and beautiful life. Luo Changming, the head of the Luo family, wanted to find an opportunity to escape from Wuyue Town with his family, heading south to seek temporary refuge with his wife's family.

Wait until the world is more stable and then make long-term plans.

At that time, Niu's father ventured into the town to look for his son. Manager Luo discussed with his family and decided to escape from Wuyue Town with Niu's father and others in order to avoid any more trouble.
