Escape from famine: Daddy stands up, Dali girl lies down

The days of going in and out every day passed by in a flash, and the Lin family ordered two sleds to facilitate their travel.

Lin Erzhuang didn't mention the sled he had lent out, not because he was generous.

But I really despise that sled. It squeaks constantly while I'm on the road and could fall apart at any time.

For his family, of course he has to choose the best.

I don’t mind spending money, the purpose of making money is to have the happiness of spending it.

...

Lin Shu also sold thirty pickled rabbits, five hundred kilograms of wolf meat, and three hundred kilograms of wild boar meat.

The total income was 1,900 taels of silver, plus the first 600 taels, the total income was 2,500 taels.

The purchase expenditure was more than 800 taels of silver, and the net profit was nearly 1,700 taels of silver.

Of course, I didn’t forget to take back the three buckets of meat sauce that I ordered.

Sixty taels of silver suddenly seemed insignificant compared to more than two thousand taels.

After tasting it several times, Wu found that the taste of his dish was not much different from the original.

This is an unexpected surprise!

Every time Mrs. Wu made meat sauce, the greedy children would surround her in three layers.

After suffering a loss once, the shrewd Mrs. Wu used the excuse that meat was expensive and hard to buy to refuse to feed meat to other people's children.

She turned a deaf ear to all those sarcastic remarks. She thought it was a waste of time and was too lazy to argue with those women.

People who once thought that Wu was easy to bully were helpless now when they saw her whining and hawing.

He had no choice but to vent his anger by beating his own child, so the inn was always very lively at mealtimes.

The five brothers and sisters often squatted at the door with their bowls in hand and watched their child eat.

...

Lin Shu was very proud of her money-making speed and even gave herself the title of "Little Money-Making Expert".

But only she and Lin's father knew about this money.

Although the amount of meat sold may not seem like much, it attracted the attention of some interested people.

After discussing it, the father and son decided not to sell the game in the county town.

"Dad, is our sled ready?" Lin Hongqing said impatiently.

"It should be soon. Let's go check it out tomorrow." Lin Erzhuang said with a smile.

"Dad, the weather is gloomy and it's going to snow heavily." Lin Shu lifted a corner of the curtain and reminded him.

"I think so too." Lin Hongshi nodded with his hands behind his back.

"What do you know, little brat? All you do is parrot." Wu Yidao patted his little grandson lovingly and said with a smile.

"My sister knows more, which means I know more. What's so strange about that?" Lin Hongshi said naturally.

"Hahaha, no shame."

Lin Erzhuang hugged his youngest son in his arms and laughed heartily.

Mrs. Wu sat at the end of the kang, tucked the needle money in her hair from time to time, and lowered her head to sew her hand cover.

"Boss, wait a few days before leaving!"

Lin Erzhuang glanced at Lin Shu, wanting to ask for her opinion.

Unexpectedly, Lin Shu ignored him.

"Okay, let's rest for a few more days.

I heard that the refugees outside the city get two meals of porridge a day." Wu Yidao suddenly interrupted.

"It's snowing heavily, will something happen?"

"Puh, puh, puh~, daddy, spit now."

Mrs. Wu quickly put down the needle and thread in her hand, and looked at Wu Yidao with a anxious face.

"Okay, okay, I bah!"

Wu Yidao realized that he had said the wrong thing and spat.

He is really afraid that good things won't work, but bad things will.

If there is another riot, I'm afraid he will die here.

No, just get the sled and leave.

For the sake of your life, don't delay.

...

"Knock knock knock~"

Just as the sky was getting light, there was a hurried knock on the door.

Lin Erzhuang put on his clothes, talking in a humming voice.

"Who is it, knocking on the door so early?"

"Master, there was a heavy snowfall last night and the stable collapsed. One of our horses and reindeer were injured.

The reindeer's antlers are injured. Do you want a doctor to take a look?" Blacksmith Wang said respectfully outside the door.

A look of satisfaction flashed in Lin Erzhuang's eyes since that day when he refused to sell himself to Wang the blacksmith's family.

As soon as he moved into the inn, Wang the blacksmith took the initiative to take care of the livestock.

Lin Erzhuang only gave them half a bag of coarse grains, and even the money for their stay in the inn was paid by Wang the blacksmith himself.

Hou lived in the lower room with her two children, while blacksmith Wang lived in the stable to avoid suspicion.

...

"Go get the doctor and I'll be down right away."

When Lin Erzhuang heard that the horses and reindeer were injured, he became anxious.

This is related to their itinerary, so we can't be careless.

When the family heard that the livestock was injured, they couldn't sleep anymore and all got up.

Lin Shu had short legs but ran the fastest and arrived at the stable second.

The animals in the stable were now in the yard.

The heavy snow collapsed the thatched roof, and the beams fell down, crushing two horses and a reindeer.

The black horse and reindeer belong to Lin Shu's family.

Because both of her horses are black, they can be recognized at a glance.

The father and daughter worked together to lift the beams and rescued the injured horse and reindeer.

She glanced around and saw that only her family members were coming to the stable.

She quietly took a handful of grass and fed it to the injured black horse.

The dark horse, which hadn't eaten green feed for a long time, lit up its eyes when it saw the green feed.

He opened his mouth, took a light bite, and chewed slowly, making the other injured yellow horse cry out in greed.

Lin Shu touched Heima's injured leg. Although there was only half a can of water, she still found that it was broken.

You cannot walk for a short period of time, let alone carry anything heavy.

I believe that once the doctor comes, this problem can be easily solved.

The reindeer's horns were injured, and one of the forks was broken and bleeding.

Lin Shu was helpless about this. She wanted to saw off the injured horn, but she was afraid that the reindeer would retaliate.

After feeding two handfuls of green grass, apply some golden wound medicine and simply bandage it with a cloth strip.

"Little sister, is this okay?" Lin Hongyi asked worriedly.

"If they are injured, they can't pull the cart. What can we do?"

"Don't we still have a horse and a reindeer? At worst we can just walk slower." Lin Shu said indifferently.

There are horses and reindeer in her space, and she can easily swap them when no one is paying attention.

Now that the horse was injured, it was a good opportunity to get both horses back.

The sled has been given away, but the two horses can’t become someone else’s too!

"It's okay. Grandpa, mom and little sister will ride the sled, and we will just ski." Lin Hongqing said with his neck shrunk.

"Go back to the house quickly. It's so cold outside. Be careful not to catch a cold." Mrs. Wu hurriedly said to the man.

"Go back, there's nothing wrong here, the doctor will be here soon." Lin Erzhuang paced back and forth.

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the brothers and sisters all shrunk their necks and ran back.

They were laughing and playing all the way, accompanied by the sound of running.

No one from the next few rooms came out to take a look, as if they were fast asleep.

Lin Shu, the last one to enter the room, slammed the door.

...

An hour later, Lin Erzhuang and Wang the blacksmith came in together.

"The doctor came to see me and said that both the horse and the reindeer are fine. This time it was all thanks to Blacksmith Wang who discovered it in time.

Otherwise, the injured horses and reindeer will easily get frostbite." Lin Erzhuang said as he entered the house.

"Shu'er's mother, bring two kilograms of cotton and four sets of coarse cloth to Wang the blacksmith."

Mrs. Wu looked at her husband in surprise, not understanding what he was up to.

Just consider it as a reward for blacksmith Wang for taking care of the livestock.
