Chapter 185: Dead Husband, Raising a Child, and Escape from Famine 25

Chou time (around 2 a.m.)

Lin Sheng had just finished cultivating her spiritual power and was replenishing her nutrition. She had a baby in her stomach and was consuming a lot of energy. Thinking that she still had to travel today, she simply did not sleep.

While she was eating, someone knocked on the door of the big house and Lin Qing's voice came: "Sister, the village chief sent someone to inform us to get ready. We will set off at 3 o'clock."

Lin Sheng quickly jumped out of the space and replied: "Got it."

On the other side of the kang, Si Niang and her two children were still snoring in their sleep.

Since moving to the Lin family, they no longer have to get up before dawn to work. They can eat their fill and sleep until they wake up naturally every day, and they have gained a lot of weight visibly.

Especially Si Niang, because she ate the most, she grew a lot taller in just over ten days, so that Qin Sanlang didn't want to get close to her.

By the time their mother and the others had packed up and come out, Lin Qing was already waiting in the yard with the other children.

It was not until Lin Sheng saw the family’s three horse-drawn carriages and two ox-drawn carts that he realized that they did not have enough drivers.

Qin Sanlang volunteered: "I can drive an ox cart, so a horse carriage should be no problem...right?" He became a little less confident as he had never ridden in a horse carriage before. How could he drive one?

Xiao Zhuangzhuang didn't expect that they were worrying about this: "Liang Ji, Liang Chen both know how to drive a carriage, so they can each drive one." This is also a necessary skill for a qualified guard.

"I can drive one too, so there are only two ox carts left!" Lin Qing said as he looked at Lin Sheng: "How about Second Sister, let's sell the ox cart to the village, and we will have enough with three horse carriages."

Lin Sheng also thought that this suggestion was good. When other people in the village were using carts or pure manpower, they still had two ox carts idle. That would be too annoying!

Now that the research was completed, Lin Qing did not waste any time. He and Sanlang each drove an ox cart and went to the village chief's house.

The village chief is also worried about not allowing all the elderly people in the village to ride on ox carts.

All the old men and women over 60 years old gathered at the village chief's house and sighed with him.

Finally, it was the oldest elder who spoke up first: "As for me, I've actually lived long enough, but I can't bear to close my eyes before I see my two little grandsons get married and have children. This time, I won't follow you to make trouble. Let's give the chance to live to the young people."

The other dozen or so people over 70 also nodded in agreement: "Yes! Yes, we won't live much longer anyway, why are we still messing around? Once you're gone, we old guys will get into the coffin and die in our ancestral tomb."

The other relatively young old men and women, all over 60 years old, were already crying inconsolably.

There are the most elderly people in their Linjia Village. Why? Because the children are filial and they live a comfortable life, so they don’t want to let the children die.

What about having lived enough, seeing through everything, and having had enough? Those are all pure bullshit. They just want to live on and don't want to die.

Just when they were in despair, hope suddenly appeared.

The village chief was stunned when he saw Lin Qing: "Qing boy, we still have half an hour to set off. What are you doing here at this time? Is it your sister?"

Although there are no elderly people in the Lin family, there is a pregnant woman and a bunch of children, which is a cause for concern.

The village chief's wife was beaming with joy, as if it was New Year's Day, and she shouted in a loud voice: "Young man Qing is here to save our lives. What's the word for that? There is no way out for people!"

The village chief was still confused: "There is always a way out?"

"Oh, yes, yes, that's the right word, hahahaha~" The village chief's wife clapped her hands and laughed heartily again.

All the old men and women in the room looked at each other with red eyes, wondering what was wrong with this rich daughter-in-law? How could she be so happy?

As a result, when they heard Lin Qing's purpose, all the old people in the room seemed to become 20 years younger and almost jumped to the sky.

The village chief asked again, as if he couldn't believe it: "Qing boy, do you really want to sell the two ox carts at home to the village at the original price?"

I heard from Lei Zi that the price of a cow in the city has now risen to 50 taels of silver, and the key is that you can’t buy it no matter how much money you have. Maybe the higher-ups have received the news a long time ago and closed the cattle market.

Lin Qing also patiently explained: "Yes, when I bought it, the price of a cow was 15 taels, plus two carriages, so the total price is 40 taels."

When the two carriages were bought, one cost 6 taels and the other 8 taels. Later, they cost some more money to renovate them. However, they already had more than 20 taels of silver, so there was no need to compete with the villagers for a few cents.

The tears that the village chief had been holding back suddenly burst out: "It was almost, just a little bit, our village would be short of people!"

Seeing him crying so sadly, Lin Qing was a little confused. Why did all the old men and women in the room look strange today? Were they reluctant to leave Linjia Village where they had lived since childhood?

When he heard the reason, he was even more confused: "Oh my ancestors, there are so many young and strong people in our village. Even if we took turns to carry you, you would still be carried to the south of the Yangtze River. Besides, you can still walk and throw things. Why are you still thinking of staying in the village and waiting to die? There is no way the young people in the village will agree to this!"

He didn't dare to say anything else, but in terms of human touch, their village was unmatched in the surrounding area.

In times of disaster, which village didn't have people starving to death? This village really didn't have any.

No matter who finds something, everyone eats it together. Even an old man who is considered useless by others can get a share, so there are so many old people over 60 years old in their village.

Just like this time's conscription, their village was the only one that was not drafted into the army. The 10 taels of silver seemed like a lot, but as long as each family took out a few copper coins, it could buy a life.

"Besides, my two ox carts are still there. Even if I throw those things away, I have to take my ancestors away."

What Lin Qing said was also true. Except for his sister, all the other children in the family could walk. Those things were not as important as people.

The old men and women also changed their previous depressed expressions and all smiled:

"Oh! Don't you want to burden the children? You are still young, do you think it is easy to escape from famine? We don't even have a pass, we are refugees, we can't take the official road, it's hard enough to rush and avoid the soldiers, how can we old bones like us cause trouble?"
