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

The baby sleeping in her arms was still soundly asleep, but she just frowned in dissatisfaction.

Lin Zhiyan stepped into the room and saw her sister in Lin Yinan's arms. She stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, then tiptoed to the couch.

Seeing the gauze wrapped around Yun Mo's waist, tears fell from her eyes like beads from a broken string.

"Dad, does it hurt?"

Yun Mo raised his hand to wipe the tears from her face and said gently, "Dad is a real man. This little injury is nothing. It doesn't hurt at all."

Little girl Lin Zhiyan raised her head and looked at him stubbornly, stretching out her pink and tender fingers, "Dad, you lied to me. I was pecked by a big cock last time, and it hurt."

As she spoke, she moved a chair, kicked off her shoes, climbed up and sat down, stretching her neck and blowing air at Yun Mo's wound that was wrapped in gauze.

"Grandma said that blowing on it will make it go away. Yan'er, blow on daddy."

"Dad, don't get hurt again. Mom and I will be very worried."

Yun Mo glanced at Lin Yinan, smiled and scratched Lin Zhiyan's nose, "Okay, Dad promises you."

Because Yun Mo is often not at home, Lin Zhiyan is very attached to him whenever he is around.

Yun Mo is very patient with the child. He will play with her and make various straw toys with her.

The next day, Yunye took his men to Xihe County.

Lin Yinan asked him to bring a lot of homemade explosives with him. If they found any Japanese pirates' ships, they would destroy them if they couldn't get them.

It's a pity to destroy it, but it's better than them harassing us again and again.

During the busy farming season, the entire Longtan County is plunged into a busy atmosphere.

Except for Yun Mo who was injured and resting, and the younger children, everyone went down to the fields.

Lin Yinan, feeling that he had recovered well, also joined the group of people picking corn.

The more than 1,500 acres of paddy fields behind the county government office need to be planted with rice, and the rice outside the county government office and the corn and peanuts planted in the mountains need to be harvested.

The south has entered the monsoon climate at this time, with high temperatures and frequent rains.

If mature crops are not harvested in time, they will sprout or even become moldy and rot if exposed to the sun for a few days after a rain.

Lin Yinan followed Li Shulan, Yunmu and others into the cornfield, carrying a sack on his back.

After this period of exercise, her strength has basically returned. Cracking corn is a strenuous job. She holds the corn stalk tightly with one hand and grabs the corn bag with the other hand and pulls down hard. With a "click" sound, a full corn cob is broken off.

During the dog days of summer, in the airtight cornfield, beads of sweat flowed down my cheeks and neck under my straw hat. The sweat flowed through my skin, which was scratched by the corn leaves, causing waves of stinging pain. My clothes were already soaked.

Li Shulan rubbed her aching waist and saw Lin Yinan working hard in another row of cornfield. She had just finished her confinement and was already so tired.

Li Shulan was heartbroken when she saw this, and hurried over with a sack on her shoulder. Seeing that her clothes were already soaked, she hurriedly advised, "Anan, you go back first, and mother and other aunts will peel the rest."

"Mom, there's not much left. I'll go back after I finish this business." Lin Yinan raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat off his face and glanced at the sky.

It would have been fine if she hadn't looked at it, but when she did, she was startled.

The originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. There was not a breath of wind in the hot and humid air. The clouds above their heads kept getting thicker and thicker, and soon the whole sky was as dark as ink.

Heavy rain could be seen falling on the distant mountains.

Heavy rain is coming!

"Mom! Tell everyone to go back quickly, it's going to rain!" Lin Yinan said as he took Li Shulan's hand and walked out of the cornfield.

As she walked, she shouted, "Everyone hurry up, it's going to rain!"

After a few shouts, a crowd of people surged in the cornfield and everyone started running back.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and after a while, rumbling thunder came from far away.

"Hurry up! It's thundering and raining!" the villagers shouted at the same time.

After leaving the cornfield, those who were strong hurriedly picked up the shoulder poles and carried the corn cobs back.

Even though a heavy rain was coming, no one abandoned the corn they had already picked, and everyone hurried home carrying it on their shoulders.

But how can a human being be faster than the wind, rain, thunder and lightning?

A cool breeze blew, and heavy rain poured down on everyone.

The heavy rain quickly blurred everyone's vision. There were several big trees in front, and under the trees were many people taking shelter from the rain.

When Lin Yinan saw this scene, he was so frightened that his heart and liver broke.

"Hurry up, don't stay under the tree, you will be struck by lightning." She shouted hurriedly to the people under the tree.

Some people were unwilling to continue walking, "It's raining too hard, we can't walk anymore."

"No, we have to go. We can't stay under the tree." Lin Yinan's eyes were sharp and his voice was so cold that no one could refuse.

Afraid of being punished if they returned, they had to leave in disappointment.

When everyone left the big tree, a magical scene happened.

"Crack!" A huge thunder struck above everyone's heads, followed by the sound of trees falling.

Someone looked back and was stunned.

"Lei, Lei..." He pointed at the fallen tree behind him with trembling hands and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Everyone turned around to look and saw that the big tree where they had taken shelter from the rain had been struck by lightning and fell to the ground, with black smoke billowing out of it.

Everyone looked at Lin Yinan who was following behind, their eyes full of gratitude. It was the city lord who saved their lives.

"Go! Don't stay here."

Lin Yinan shouted loudly, and everyone came to their senses and hurriedly quickened their pace to rush into the city.

The timid woman's legs went weak and she fell to the ground along with her load.

Lin Yinan took a few steps forward, helped the person up, saw the scratches on her knees, and took the burden from her hands and carried it himself.

The woman was also one of the people who had taken shelter under the tree. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she tried to snatch back the burden with trembling hands.

Lin Yinan pushed her and said, "Stop talking nonsense and go!"

The woman wiped her face, dragged Lin Yinan's half-full sack, and stumbled forward.

Not far from Longtan, the towering city wall appeared in front of everyone.

Lin Yinan was carrying the load and had to take care of Yunmu and Li Shulan behind him, so it was extremely difficult for him to walk on the slippery and muddy road.

At this moment, a figure rushed towards the crowd from the city gate like a gust of wind.

When he saw Aunt Li and the others, he asked, "Aunt, where is An Nan?"

Aunt Li panted, pointed her hand behind her, and shouted, "Go! It's behind."

The heavy rain blocked Lin Yinan's vision. He only felt a figure flash before his eyes, and then he saw Yun Mo's enlarged face.

"How did you come?"

Yun Mo forcefully took the burden from her shoulders, "Give it to me, you go help mother and the others."

Seeing that he ran out without even wearing an oilskin coat, Lin Yinan couldn't help but worry about the wound on his leg.

Without arguing with him, she obediently walked to the back, took the sacks from Li Shulan and Yunmu, and put them on her shoulders.

After returning to the city wall, everyone gathered inside the city gate to avoid the rain and refused to leave.

Lin Yinan was worried about the children at home and Yun Mo's leg injury, so he put down his things and the two of them used their light skills to return to the county government office.

I saw Lin Yian, Lu Changqing, Yun Fangyi, Lin Zhiyan and other children gathered around the bed, coaxing Yun Shijiu who had already woken up.

Lin Yinan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then pulled Yun Mo's pants and looked at the wound on his leg.

"Let me see your injuries."

"Go wash and change your clothes first, don't catch a cold."
