Chapter 186: Dead Husband, Raising a Child, and Escape from Famine 26
But the same thing goes, who wants to die when they can live?
The old people came forward one by one and patted Lin Qing on the shoulders, and they all sighed in their hearts that this kid was not raised in vain.
The village chief calmed down at this time and remembered to ask about the Lin family: "Qing boy, you just said that the distant relative of the Qiao family who came from the capital to seek refuge, what kind of person is he?"
They were fleeing famine, so it would be fine if they were all from the same village. But if they were outsiders and had bad intentions, more than 200 lives of the Linjia Village might be lost.
Lin Qing also told the family's explanation: "He was an 8-year-old child. His parents and grandparents were all gone, and other relatives didn't want to raise him. They remembered that they had a distant relative in Dingchuan County, so they sent a servant to take him here and left, leaving only him and two 10-year-old friends behind."
When the village chief heard that there were three children, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, Qing, go back and get ready. We'll set off at the appointed time."
The most worrying thing has been solved, and everything else is not a problem. He believes that as long as the villagers work together, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome.
......
When it was still a quarter of an hour before the Yin hour, the Lin family drove three horse-drawn carriages out of the yard. The place where they lived was quite far from the threshing ground, and when they arrived at the gathering place, most of the villagers were already waiting there with their belongings.
Everyone was surprised when they saw the Lin family's carriage. Many of them had never left the village in their lives and had never seen what a horse looked like. How could they not be curious?
Several young men who had the best relationship with Lin Qing came over and touched the horse's shiny hair curiously.
Lei Zi, who was well-informed, sighed: "This must be a good horse, better than the one that pulled the county magistrate's carriage. It's a pity that it can't catch up with his mount. I heard that it is a purebred thousand-mile horse, and I wouldn't trade it for ten thousand taels of silver."
Lin Sheng was lying in the carriage and almost laughed. No matter how poor the Liang Wang Mansion was, they couldn't afford to spend money on the carriage for their only child.
Yesterday, Qiao Zhuangzhuang whispered to her that if they had no food to eat, these horses could be exchanged for several thousand taels of silver.
Because they were about to set off, everyone could only suppress their curiosity and returned to their families after chatting for a few words.
As soon as the Yin hour arrived, without wasting too much time, the village chief only said two words: "Let's go!" and the team started slowly.
The elderly people in the village were arranged to sit in several ox carts and walk at the front of the team. If anything went wrong, the villagers behind could turn around and run away.
Although they look like old bones, if they really encounter a life-and-death situation, even if they are faced with a wild wolf, they dare to fight and give the young people a way to survive.
The drivers are also relatively young elderly people, so as not to waste any young labor.
The teams formed freely behind them were required to remember who was following them. Once they discovered that one person was missing, they would give an immediate warning and the team would stop to search immediately. Since they had come out together, no one should be left behind when they reached Jiangnan.
At the end of the team are the youngest and strongest youths. They have good physical strength and can run fast. They have to patrol non-stop for 12 hours, trying their best to prevent any unknown danger from happening to the villagers.
Qiao Zhuangzhuang was shocked by the arrangement of Linjia Village. He looked at Lin Sheng in disbelief and asked, "Aunt, are there any retired soldiers in our village? How...?"
Lin Sheng smiled and said:
"Isn't it incredible? Our village is the first place in the surrounding area to have a school. Both men and women can read and write, so we are somewhat different from other ignorant farmers.
But these arrangements have little to do with literacy, it’s simply because the villagers already treat each other as real family members.”
Seeing that the chubby boy was interested in the affairs of the village, Qin Sanlang felt that his chance to show off had come, so he quickly got ahead of the other children and told him a lot of things about the village.
The more Qiao Zhuangzhuang listened, the more he felt that Linjia Village was magical. He became interested and raised his hand and shouted to Lin Sheng: "Aunt, I also want to make a contribution to the village."
Lin Sheng clapped his hands and praised: "Our Zhuangzhuang is great. When we rest at night, let your uncle take you to go with Liang Ji and Liang Chen."
In her opinion, it is definitely not a bad thing to establish good relations with the villagers as early as possible. In case this guy wants to rebel and become an emperor in a few years, these are all his connections.
Because it was the first day of fleeing the famine and they were walking on flat ground, although they only rested for an hour on the way, until they set up camp before dark, everyone seemed to be in good spirits.
Families who are on good terms with each other gather together to cook and chat.
Lin Sheng had just cooked a pot of mushroom soup and was directing the children to bake steamed buns when the village chief and his wife came over.
The couple's faces were a little red, it seemed that they had something difficult to say. In the end, it was the village head's wife who gritted her teeth and spoke first:
"Well, Ah Sheng, there are several children under two years old in our village. It is not convenient to put them in the front and let the elderly hold them. The adults should carry them in baskets. After a day of bumpy ride, some of their little butts are sore.
See if you can let the children ride in the carriage during the day, and let their parents pick them up in the evening."
Lin Sheng frowned slightly. It would be fine if the child only knew how to eat, drink and sleep, but he was afraid of those who cried endlessly at the top of their lungs.
She knew there were a few very young children in the village, and they really didn't take up much space, but...
The village head and his wife saw that her expression seemed a little unhappy, and their hearts were in their throats.
The two of them had also whispered to each other, didn't they all say that this young lady was timid and only knew how to work silently, so why did they get so nervous when they saw her, as if she would kill them both if she got angry.
Although they didn't know where the illusion came from.
Lin Sheng thought about it and nodded in agreement. In ancient times, the infant mortality rate was high, and even adults could not bear to flee from famine, let alone children. If they died of exhaustion from running around with the adults, he would not feel good about it.
When the time comes, just arrange them into the carriage where the belongings are kept. The villagers don’t care about that much anyway.
"Then uncle, aunt, you have to find a woman to help take care of the children."
She needs someone to take care of her now, so how can she have the energy to take care of other people's children?
The village head and his wife were delighted: "Okay, okay, Ah Sheng, don't worry, we will definitely make all the arrangements."
After expressing their gratitude repeatedly, the two happily went back to make arrangements.
