Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

"Uncle, quickly notify them to come down and move the food." Lin Yinan reminded the people who were surprised and delighted.

Lin Shuo wiped away his tears and said, "Yes! Yes!"

Then two bags of grain were tied to a rope, and Lin Yizhang climbed onto another rope.

When the villagers above saw the two bags of grain being pulled up and heard Lin Yizhang's account of the situation below, everyone in Linjia Village was very excited.

Except for the children, all the villagers woke up and gathered around the cave entrance, wishing they could go down and bring up the food themselves.

Finally, under the command of the village chief, two more ropes were placed into the cave and more than a dozen young men were sent down to help.

After all the grain was transported up, it was weighed and found to be more than ten thousand kilograms.

The clan leader, the village chief and several clan elders were holding booklets and discussing how to distribute the food.

Several bonfires were lit in the camp and the villagers sat around them, looking forward to it.

After Old Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhang were pulled up, the village doctor gave them two injections and they regained consciousness.

At this moment, he is bragging to the old ladies in the village.

"Thanks to Zheng'er's divine intervention, I fell into this hole, which allowed our village to get so much food for free."

Old Mrs. Zhao swept away the dejection she had felt for the past few days and spoke with saliva flying.

"Aunt Zhao is a blessed person."

"That's right, my granddaughter is very capable, she even dares to kill the Hu people."

The village chief cleared his throat and the villagers immediately quieted down.

"The total amount of food pulled up from the cave is almost 10,000 kilograms. The village decided to distribute the food to everyone, regardless of age, based on the number of people, 20 kilograms per person. Lin Yinan, Old Lady Zhao, and Zhang, who have made contributions to the village, will be given double the amount. The remaining food will be recorded in the public account book for emergency use."

The villagers all expressed no objection.

Old Mrs. Zhao's family, Li Shulan and her son, and even Lu Changqing got a share, a total of 300 kilograms of food.

Just as Mrs. Zhao was about to put the grain away, Lin Yinan noticed with his sharp eyes that there were a few words printed in an inconspicuous place in the lower left corner of the sack.

"Xincheng Bingcao!"

"Is this the government's grain?" Lin Shuo was shocked, worried and scared.

Lin Yinan's eyes turned and he thought of a solution.

"Uncle, change the bags back to our own, and then burn these bags."

Someone in the government abused their power for personal gain and secretly hid so much grain. Who would have known that the people of Linjia Village took it?

The village chief and clan leader also discovered the problem and sent people to inform the villagers.

Common people living under the rule of feudal society were terrified when talking about officials and were very respectful of them.

After distributing the grain, the village chief personally checked to make sure that no family left behind any bags with words on them.

It's not safe to stay here. Since no one can sleep, let's get up and continue on our way.

Just two hours after they left.

Huang Guichang came here with his family and two hundred men. The manager led people to the cave where the grain was stored, only to find that it was empty.

"Sir, the food is gone!"

Huang Guichang kicked the manager who was stumbling back.

He gritted his teeth and said, "What? Say that again?"

"Sir, we are out of food!"

The manager covered his face and cried bitterly. The Hu army was coming and they had to flee in panic. Without food, what would they eat in the future?

"Who? Who did it?"

Huang Guichang was so angry that he drew his sword and randomly cut the weeds on the roadside.

A subordinate came running from a distance, "Sir, we found traces of someone stationed on the flat ground over there."

"Can you find out who it is?"

The subordinate continued, "Looking at the traces at the scene, there are three to four hundred people, probably civilians fleeing."

"Which direction did they go?"

"Towards Jiancheng."

Huang Guichang took out a map from his arms and handed it to the steward.

"Manager, take some people to dig out the grain from the other two places. Fortunately, we didn't put all the grain together."

"Yes, my lord."

The manager personally selected one of his strong men, took the map, and went to dig for food.

Huang Guichang narrowed his eyes and made up his mind to kill the peasants who stole his food.

If you have enough food, you won’t be worried.

The people of Linjia Village no longer worried about going hungry, and they walked until the afternoon, when they stopped only when the livestock were too tired to move.

The village chief ordered them to rest here for an hour before leaving.

Since being woken up in the middle of the night last night, Lin Yinan was tired and sleepy. He spread a piece of oilcloth on the ground and fell asleep without saying a word.

In a daze, I heard Lin Yian's crying and Old Lady Zhao's scolding.

Lin Yinan was woken up and after listening for a while, she found out that her soft and cute little brother was kidnapped.

She opened her eyes and simply sat up.

Lin Qiutao, the innocent girl, was seen holding her youngest sister and being scolded by the old lady, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"Grandma Zhao, please don't speak so harshly. Chunfang only ate half of Lin Yian's egg."

Old Mrs. Zhao spat fiercely, "Bah, you are a starving ghost carrying a fetus! You are trying to snatch an egg that my grandson has eaten half of."

Lin Yinan walked up to Lin Yian, took an egg from the space and stuffed it into his hand, then wiped the tears from his face.

"Don't cry, sister gives this to you."

Lin Qiutou raised her eyebrows, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes. Thinking of Lin Yinan's ruthlessness in killing people, she did not dare to confront her head-on.

He only said softly to Mrs. Zhao, "Grandma Zhao, you are a magnanimous person. Please don't bother with our Chunfang over such a trivial matter."

Just as Mrs. Zhao was about to start scolding, Lin Yinan pulled her away.

"Grandma, don't interfere with the children's play."

Lin Chunfang's eyes lit up as she stared at the egg in Lin Yian's hand, slurping the saliva that flowed from her mouth from time to time, as if she had never eaten an egg in her life.

Lin Yinan pouted in disdain and walked forward to block her view.

"Want some eggs?"

Lin Chunfang thought Lin Yinan would give her eggs, so she nodded and said, "Yes!"

A dagger suddenly appeared in Lin Yinan's hand, and he pointed it at her bulging belly.

"You know what? The food you ate is right here. If you try to steal my brother's food again next time, I will cut you open so that you will never be able to eat again."

Lin Chunfang was so scared that she burst into tears.

She was already nine years old, and the news that Lin Yinan had helped Lin Tiezhu clean up the corpse had spread throughout the village, so of course she knew about it.

Lin Chunfang shook her head in fear, "Sister Anan, please don't scratch my belly. I won't dare to do it again next time."

Many villagers gathered around when they heard Lin Chunfang crying.

Lin Qiutao's eyes turned, and she started to complain first.

"Sister Anan, how can you be so vicious? My sister just stole half an egg from your brother, but you want to cut open my sister's stomach."

"Which eye of yours saw me cut open her belly?"

Lin Yinan put the dagger back into his sleeve, seeing through her trick at a glance, and decided not to talk nonsense with her.

But Lin Qiutou will not miss any opportunity to discredit her.

"Anan, you are good at martial arts and archery. You can hunt any kind of wild animal. Why bother with a child?"

Lin Yinan glanced at her and said, "If you say so, can you just not mind if I rob your family's food?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the villagers pointed at Lin Qiutao.

"If you want to eat it, just go catch it yourself. Why take advantage of others?"

"For a little food, they even threw away their dignity."

"She is the daughter of a scholar."

Lin Qiutao didn't expect Lin Yinan to be so effective. She blushed with shame and angrily pulled Lin Chunfang away.
