Lin Kunlun traveled alone this time, without any followers. He was accompanied only by a horse, and galloped all the way, only taking a short rest late at night. The next afternoon, he arrived at Qinghe Village, which he had not seen for a long time. If he had walked at a normal pace, this journey would take at least three days, but the horse that Lin Kunlun rode was far from an ordinary horse. It had strong limbs and walked very fast, which greatly shortened his journey home.

Along the way, Lin Kunlun found some originally desolate villages that were now somewhat lively. He knew that those villagers who had gone east to beg due to the pressure of life were now returning one after another because of the government's notice. The notice stated that as long as they returned to their hometowns, the court would distribute food to help them restore their livelihoods. Faced with hunger and despair, most people chose to return to their homeland, even if there was little hope, and were unwilling to embark on the road of resistance.

However, Lin Kunlun also knows that not everyone can return home. When they left home, perhaps they were all family members, but now, I am afraid that less than half of them can return home.

Qinghe Village is considered lucky among many villages. Lin Kunlun knows that all this is due to the joint efforts of the village chief and villagers. Although Qinghe Village suffered from drought this year, it received food assistance several times, and the villagers barely survived by relying on grass roots and tree bark in the mountains. However, as the drought continued, the trees on the mountain gradually died, and even the water level of the few deep wells in the village gradually dropped. Each person could only get one or two sips of water a day to barely make a living.

When Lin Kunlun rode into the village, he saw the old village chief leading a group of people standing at the entrance of the village. They held long spears and looked serious. Obviously, they were on guard against those refugees who might come to extort money. Lin Kunlun felt warm in his heart. He knew that although these villagers were in a difficult situation, they still remained vigilant and united, and stayed here to protect their homes.

"Village chief, is everything okay in the village these days?" Lin Kunlun got off his horse immediately!

"It's not bad! We can barely hold on for a while with the food you left behind mixed with some grass roots and tree bark! I heard that the county government has issued a notice that relief food will be distributed soon, so let us wait in our village! As long as the food comes down, we can recover when it rains! If it doesn't rain again, even the diving in the mountains will disappear! The few wells in the village can only clear out half a bucket of water every day! Each person only gets one or two sips a day! This is still good, many villages don't have a drop of water! There is no food! Some time ago, I went to the neighboring village to take a look! Half of the people in the whole village are gone! Fortunately, we organized the self-defense team early! During this period, people came to rob food from time to time! They were all driven away by our self-defense team!" The old village chief sighed. In this world, if the court doesn't distribute food, we can't survive.

"Old village chief, we still need to be careful with the remaining food in the village! Don't hold out too much hope for the imperial court to distribute food! After all, the disaster affected a wide area. Not only the Northwest County and Southwest County, but also some other counties in the west, which were also affected, but the disaster was less severe! As far as I know, there are still floods in the southeast and other regions, so I don't know when the relief food will arrive!" Lin Kunlun reminded them in advance. Don't eat everything at once, or you will be hungry waiting for the relief food.

"We don't have much food now! We rely on grass roots and tree bark! Fortunately, there are more grass roots and tree bark in the surrounding mountains! Occasionally we can even hunt some game! But if this goes on for a few more months, I'm afraid we won't have any grass roots and tree bark to eat!" The old village chief shook his head.

"There's nothing we can do about it! Let the villagers make plans early and save as much as possible!" Lin Kunlun had no other options. He couldn't take out food from the space. After all, this was his secret, and he didn't even tell his family. If people in this world knew that he had a space where he could grow food, I'm afraid more people would kidnap him and ask him to provide food and grass.

"We understand! You have helped us a lot during this period!" The old village chief nodded and knew that Lin Kunlun was taking a risk with his life in his arms.

Lin Kunlun was ready to leave, he was very busy. I just came to see my family and give them some food. The most important thing is to give them some weapons for self-defense. This time when attacking Lengshui County, he found those short crossbows in a treasury! He specially collected three short crossbows. There are also some knives! He planned to send these things to the mountain. With these short crossbows, plus the special terrain of the cave. Even if some people want to attack the cave, it will be difficult. ! This can at least buy time for them to escape from another exit of the cave.

Seeing Lin Kunlun preparing to leave on horseback, the old village chief knew that he was going to look for his family. Although he knew that his family was hiding in this mountainous area, he never asked where they were. After all, in this world, if someone is able to live alone, that is their business.

"Kunlun! Wait a minute! There is one more important thing I forgot to tell you!" Just as Lin Kunlun was about to ride his horse up the mountain, the old village chief suddenly stopped him.

"Old village chief, what else do you want?" Lin Kunlun had to gently pull Heidian's reins. Heidian stopped obediently. This horse was more humane than other horses.

As long as Lin Kunlun made a slight movement, it knew what he was going to do. And since eating the food and water in Lin Kunlun's space, it became more obedient to Lin Kunlun. I'm sure he also knew that the food and water were different from the food outside. So he was very flattering to Lin Kunlun.

Lin Kunlun stroked its mane. The old village chief's eyes lit up when he saw such a handsome and obedient horse. He had been in the frontier army before. He had seen the horses ridden by those generals, but none of them were so smart and spiritual.

"Kunlun, where did you get this horse? It's such a good horse!" The old village chief couldn't help but praise.

"I got this by accident! Old village chief, what's the matter? I'm in a hurry to come back this time!" Lin Kunlun said anxiously. After he met his parents and made arrangements, he had to rush back immediately. After all, so many people were left there, and he was really afraid that something would happen. From the news he got, the court had already begun to encircle and suppress these rebel forces in the west. He was really a little worried about leaving alone.

"That's right! Zhou Da and Zhou Er came back together two days ago! They also brought back some food each! It seems that they are doing well outside! But we can't really drive them out this time, after all, they are also villagers!" said the old village chief with some embarrassment.
