"Xiao Tao, Xiao Qi, you two will be in charge of watching over the younger brothers. Just stay by the donkey cart. Don't worry about anything else. Qing Yue, you take Xiao Ya and Xiao Wan and stay on the donkey cart. Uncle, Xiao Shan, and Qing Min will take turns driving the cart with my eldest, second, and third brothers. Do you think this is feasible?"

Lin Qingxue sat next to Mrs. Lin and looked around at everyone in the family, young and old. She could only do her best to protect everyone.

"Yes, Qingxue's arrangement is very good. I believe that if we all work together, we can definitely overcome this difficulty." Uncle Lin thought for a while and felt that his niece's arrangement was very reasonable.

"Just let Qingxue arrange it," Old Man Lin nodded in agreement.

"Okay, Grandma, Dad, Mom, let's go to the kitchen to prepare some dry food for the journey," Li Yan's mother looked at the sky. It was almost noon, and not only did they have to prepare dry food for the journey, but they also had to prepare lunch for the whole family.

"Go!" Mrs. Lin nodded. Seeing this, Aunt Lin also took Lin Qingyue to the kitchen to help.

Lin Qingxue held Lin Xiaoya and Lin Xiaowan in her arms, one on each side, and looked at her silent nephews, feeling a little pain in her heart. They were still at the age when they could act like spoiled brats in their parents' arms, but now they had to endure pain that was not suitable for their age group.

After lunch, Li Yan's mother and her sisters-in-law prepared dry food in the kitchen, while the others went back to their rooms to check if they had left anything behind.

Knowing that Lin Qingxue had treasures, everyone was reluctant to throw anything away. In the end, regardless of whether they were useful or not, they put everything in a basket and put it in Lin Qingxue's treasure box.

The waiting time was very difficult to endure. Smelling the aroma of pancakes and steamed buns coming from the kitchen, the children were a little restless, but the adults were fine and could bear it.

"Greedy creatures, if you want to eat, go to the kitchen and ask your mother to give it to you!" Looking at the children swallowing their saliva, Mrs. Lin said lovingly.

After hearing what Mrs. Lin said, the children went to the kitchen embarrassedly. Of course, they did not leave Xiaoya and Xiaowan behind.

"Third brother, have you notified your wife's parents? What are the rules at the Liu family?" Old man Lin looked at the whole family and asked in a low voice. Everyone had been busy these days and had only thought of this. They only remembered the families of their grandchildren's wives when they were about to leave.

"Master, I was busy these days and forgot to visit the Liu family." After hearing what Old Man Lin said, Lin Qingran remembered his wife's eldest brother and his family, and felt very annoyed and self-blaming.

"You kid, how could you forget such a big thing? While there is still time, go to the Liu family and tell them that our family is going to flee the famine. See what the Liu family thinks."

Uncle Lin looked at Lin Qingran with a look of disappointment and scolded him in a low voice, fearing that his voice would be too loud and be heard by Liu Jiali in the kitchen, causing discord between the couple.

"I understand. I'll go now," Lin Qingran agreed quickly. It was indeed his fault for forgetting this matter. Worried that something might happen to the Liu family, he left the house and ran towards the Liu family.

"You are all parents now, so please be careful in your actions," said old man Lin earnestly. If you are all so careless, what will you do when you two are gone?

As everyone was waiting, the sky gradually darkened. Just when everyone was worried about why Lin Qingran had not come back yet, they heard a loud noise coming from the door. Lin Xiaoshan opened the gate without waiting for anyone to speak.

"Third brother, what happened? Why is the young man from the Liu family so seriously injured?"

As soon as the gate opened, the Lin family saw Lin Qingran carrying Liu Jiayong on his back. He was covered in blood, and the others also had some injuries.

"Something happened at home. Thank you for letting Qingran come to our Liu family. Otherwise, I am not sure whether he can see us again."

Liu Jiayong's wife Fang Xiaomei had a smile on her lips, her face and body were covered in blood. Next to her stood a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, her face pale as she hugged her arms tightly, her eyes dull and lifeless, it was obvious that she was shocked.

"I'm glad you're okay. Third brother, put your eldest brother in your room. If there's any medicine at home, go apply it on him first. Qingyue, go get some water for your sister-in-law Liu and the others to wash up. My dear relatives, it's good that we're home now. Don't worry, we're all here."

Seeing the shocked look on the Liu family's face, Mrs. Lin walked over to Fang Xiaomei, patted the back of her hand gently, and said comfortingly.

Hearing the noise in the yard, Liu Jiali from the kitchen came trotting over. Seeing her coming, Fang Xiaomei calmed down.

"Auntie, could you please go into the kitchen for a moment? I'm going to settle my family first. You don't have to wait for us for dinner later. Just leave some food for us. You guys go eat first!"

Liu Jiali looked at Aunt Lin calmly and said that she calmly settled everything, then helped Fang Xiaomei walk towards her and Lin Qingran's room. The others felt sorry for the Liu family and naturally would not disturb them.

Until everyone in the Liu family went into their rooms to rest, and Mrs. Lin took her family to the main hall to eat, no one was in the mood to chat, and they ate the dishes and pancakes in their bowls in silence.

Lin Qingxue could probably guess what happened to the Liu family, but since they didn't say anything, she didn't ask.

Lin Qingxue took two bowls, one for the dishes and one for the pancakes. She took the two bowls to Lin Qingran and Liu Jiali's room and saw Lin Qingran applying medicine to Liu Jiayong.

Then, Lin Qingxue scooped another bucket of water and placed it in front of Fang Xiaomei, saying, "Sister Liu, Brother Liu is a lucky man. It's so late, and you are all hungry and thirsty. Let's eat something and have a good rest!"

"Sister-in-law, this is Qingran's older sister. She came back with her two daughters some time ago. We are all family. Don't be afraid. If you are hungry or thirsty, just get something to eat." Liu Jiali was worried that her sister-in-law from her natal family didn't know Lin Qingxue, so she introduced her to everyone.

"Okay, my dear sisters-in-law, I'm sorry to trouble you this time," Fang Xiaomei said with a smug look on her face. There was nothing they could do. Everything in the house had been robbed, and they had nothing left except the clothes on their bodies.

If Lin Qingran had not arrived in time, the whole family might not have been able to save their lives, let alone the clothes on their backs.

That’s right, the entire Liujia Village was attacked by refugees. It can be said that there were almost no living people in the entire village.

When Lin Qingran went there, he happened to see some refugees trying to force the fourteen-year-old Liu Dongzhi. Although the Liu family fought hard.

But the refugees are not afraid of death. Their resistance is useless and instead further arouses the refugees' bloodiness and anger.
