Escape from famine: Daddy stands up, Dali girl lies down
Chapter 42: Encountering a Fast Rider at Night
"Da da da~", a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from behind.
"Quick, everyone retreat to the fields and don't make any noise.
Hurry up! "
Wu Yidao stood on the ox cart and gave orders in a low voice, with an unprecedented urgency in his voice.
If you meet a fast rider in the middle of the night, it must be that something important is happening.
In the wilderness, one might be killed without even knowing it.
...
"Da~da~"
The hurried sound of horse hooves seemed to be stepping on everyone's hearts.
They all ran to the fields on the roadside, and at this time the advantage of having no vehicles was revealed.
"Grandpa, here!"
Lin Shu handed the old man two cucumbers, slid off the ox cart with Baozi, and rushed to her own mule cart.
He stepped forward, snatched the reins from Lin Erzhuang's hand, fed his mule a cucumber, and led it quickly to the field.
"Baozi, follow me and don't make any noise."
It was the first time for the group to encounter such a situation, and they seemed a little confused for a moment.
Fortunately, they were all afraid of death, so they ran faster than each other.
The slowest ones were the Liu family, because they had not been exercising and were a little at a loss when things happened.
As they stumbled and hid in the ground, the fast rider was already in sight.
Six fast horses galloped past, and the leader turned his head to look at the black shadow swaying on the ground.
"Drive~"
"Drive~"
...
"Phew, that's scary!"
Lin Shu patted her heart, let go of the buns in her arms and spread them on the ground.
I felt a chill on my back and it was covered in sweat when I touched it.
She was too afraid of being silenced.
The sound of horse hooves can be heard amidst the clash of swords. Anyone who dares to gallop at night is definitely not an ordinary person.
To others, this group of people are just a bunch of scum, not worth a fight.
"Grandpa, we can't take the official road anymore." Lin Shu reminded.
"Shu'er is right. If we meet the northern barbarians this time, we will only die." Lin Erzhuang echoed.
"We're not going to leave tonight. Let's find a place to rest and discuss the next steps.
The heads of all families must come to the meeting, no one should be absent." Wu Yidao nodded.
The frightened group of people found a low place to rest.
They sat together, leaning against each other, and the mother silently comforted the frightened child.
...
Lin Shu squatted outside the circle and listened to the eight heads of the family discussing the route in a low voice.
Eight heads huddled together, blocking the light of the tinder within the circle.
"We should go to the Imperial City of Dongzhou. It will never go wrong to follow the Emperor.
The children will also have a good development, and it will be a place where they can live and work in peace and contentment."
“Dongzhou is located in the north and is also the imperial city. If a war breaks out, it will be the first target.
The drought in the north has not been alleviated at all, and no one knows how long it will last.
I suggest going to Yizhou in the central part of the country. I heard that the resources there are abundant and the four seasons are distinct.
The population is sparse, and the only downside is that it is mountainous.”
When Lin Shu heard Lin's father's suggestion, she nodded in agreement.
Dongzhou is called the imperial city, but it is the most obvious target of attack.
The princes' attempts to seize the throne, rebellions, and enemy invasions all targeted the imperial city.
As the saying goes, when gods fight, the people suffer.
I wonder how much blood will be shed when a new emperor ascends the throne.
She doesn't want to join the crowd and live the leisurely life of a rich man in a faraway place. Isn't that better?
It was not easy to be an official in ancient times.
It is simply a myth for a commoner without any foundation to rise to the top overnight.
The only person in the family who has the opportunity to serve as an official in the court is the third brother, but she will not support it.
A new emperor has new ministers, and an unstable dynasty may collapse at any time.
Those officials who followed would become buried with him and suffer countless casualties.
This is also the reason why Lin Shu was unwilling to let her brothers serve as officials in the court.
Not to mention military officers, as the saying goes, one general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers.
"Ah~"
Lin Shu sighed, and finally realized how difficult it was to live in such an era.
It was extremely difficult, and she dared not take it lightly anymore.
...
"My dear grandson, if you have anything on your mind, please tell me."
Wu Yidao had just finished discussing things when he heard his granddaughter's childish sigh, which made him laugh.
"Hehe, secrets can't be told.
Grandpa, where are we going to settle down? Have you thought of a name?" Lin Shu changed the subject.
“There are two opinions now, one is to go to Dongzhou, and the other is to go to Yizhou.
I have thought of a name for the team, it is called Team Tianyou."
Lin Shu's face twitched when she heard this. "God bless you!" God bless you, this is too straightforward.
Why does she have a feeling of being in the White Lotus Sect, saving all sentient beings and wishing God to bless them?
"We are looking for a place to settle down, just like a bird builds a nest, which is called a bird's nest." Lin Shu said seriously.
"Bird's Nest~Bird's Nest~, it's a good name, let's call it Bird's Nest." Wu Yidao nodded in agreement.
Thus, a group of refugees had their own official name.
Bird's Nest Team.
A name that is easy to understand and yet has unique modern characteristics.
...
"Shu'er, where do you think we should settle down?"
"I listen to my father." Lin Shu said firmly.
At that time, she only saw the original owner die to protect Lin Erzhuang, and after scolding him, she passed through.
It is not clear what will happen next. Lin Erzhuang has been reborn and must know more than her.
You can only know what kind of place Yizhou is when you get there.
"Shu'er doesn't want to go to the Imperial City?
There are many nobles there, and you will get married one day.
Settling in the imperial city will give you a better chance of finding a good husband."
"Grandpa, you have such a wrong idea.
If you throw a brick into the imperial city, it will hit a high-ranking official.
In the eyes of those high-ranking officials, we are not even as good as ants, and our life and death are just a matter of others’ thoughts.
I won't go to that kind of place, whoever wants to go can go." Lin Shu shook her head.
She didn't want to go to Dongzhou to join in the fun. What was wrong with being a quiet peasant girl?
To put it bluntly, even if you make a serious mistake one day, you can still hide in the mountains if you live in Yizhou.
Wu Yidao stroked his beard and thought for a long time before nodding.
"Shu'er's words make sense, then let's go to Yizhou.
If they want to go to Dongzhou, they can go to Dongzhou, we won’t stop them.”
Wu Yidao turned around and discussed with the few people he had just met. Lin Shu leaned against the bun and closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
He planted the sweet potato vines in the space one by one, picked beans, cucumbers, strawberries, and eggplants, and provided food for the wild boars and mules.
The crops in the fields can be harvested in a month, and there will no longer be a food crisis.
With the growth rate within the space, three harvests a year is no problem.
Lin Shu's plan is to plant only two seasons, with the planting of vegetables, fruits and grains covering an area of twenty acres.
Don’t even think about anything more.
It's impossible for her to work alone while the whole family eats!
She is not a nanny, but she is the youngest and is responsible for the food and drink of the whole family.
The purpose of her traveling through time is to lie down. It is absolutely impossible for her to be a workhorse.
After ten years of struggling at the bottom of society, Lin Shu’s kindness had long gone to hell.
As long as she lives a good life, she doesn't care about the life and death of others.
