My daughter was sold, I want to divorce her and go back to my parents' home to escape the famin
Chapter 37: Patrol Team on the Road
The Lin family had three donkey carts. The first one was driven by Old Man Lin, Mrs. Lin, and Lin Qingming's youngest son Lin Xiaotan. Lin Qingming and Uncle Lin took turns driving the cart.
The second donkey cart was occupied by Aunt Lin, Lin Qingyue and Lin Qingbai's youngest son Lin Xiaohui, with Lin Qingbai and Lin Xiaoshan taking turns driving the cart.
The third donkey cart was occupied by Lin Qingxue's two daughters, Liu Er's wife, and Liu Ziwen. Lin Qingran and Lin Qingmin took turns driving the cart, while the others walked and climbed back on the donkey cart to rest when they were tired.
While Lin Qingxue was stunned, Lin Qingbai and Lin Qingxun finished counting the number of people. All the people in the Linjia Village were mobilized and everyone came.
"Everyone follow the team and set off," Lin Jinkang shouted at the signal of Village Chief Lin, and walked in front with his donkey cart to lead the way. Seeing this, the others followed in an orderly manner.
At Lin Qingxue's signal, the Lin family walked at the end of the team, mainly because there were no one watching them and it was convenient for them to eat.
The Lin family members all knew that they had a secret, so no one dared or wanted to walk at the front or in the middle of the team, so they all agreed to walk at the back.
Lin Qingxue walked beside the express delivery and motioned her two daughters to lie down and hug each other and continue sleeping, otherwise there was no need to stay up with them so late at night.
"Mom, can you sit on it too?" The older Lin Xiaoya looked at Lin Qingxue with heartache. She thought that it was because her and her sisters sat on it that their mother had to walk on the ground.
"No, I'm not tired right now. I'll sit up there when I'm tired. Xiaoya, you can take your sister to sleep for a while!"
Lin Qingxue looked at the two sisters who were still sleepy, feeling very distressed and guilty. She had not expected that the Liu family would come, and if they did, she would have bought another donkey cart.
Lin Xiaoya couldn't resist the sleepiness any more, so she could only lie down with her arms around her sister and continue to sleep. They had a good idea. They planned to wait until they had enough sleep and woke up, then they would go downstairs to walk, and Lin Qingxue would go upstairs to sit.
The few younger ones in the car were almost all coaxed to sleep by the adults, while the older ones were all walking.
It was pitch black in the middle of the night, and the children were walking hand in hand, with the adults surrounding the younger ones.
Lin Qingxue walked beside the donkey cart and easily saw that Liu Ziwen had fallen asleep after being patted by Liu Er's wife. She and he lay down next to the Lin Xiaoya sisters and slept soundly.
Lin Qingxue looked at Liu Er's wife, who was swaying and yawning non-stop, and said, "Liu Er's wife, why don't you lie down and take a nap too! You're pregnant, so you sleep a lot anyway. Just sleep when you're tired! No one will say anything to you."
"Yes! Second daughter-in-law, if you are sleepy, just lie down and take a nap!" Fang Xiaomei pulled Liu Dongzhi and walked beside her. She also saw the embarrassing look of her second daughter-in-law and felt very distressed.
It was also bad luck. Not only did she have to flee from famine when she was pregnant, but all her belongings were robbed, leaving her with only the clothes she was wearing. She was then taken in by her sister-in-law's family, who had to marry off all the other members of her family.
If the Lin family hadn't taken them in, how would they have survived?
Seeing that everyone felt sorry for her, Liu Er's wife nodded, lay down like the other children, and fell asleep together.
At the beginning of walking, everyone could still bear it, but after walking for a long time, Lin Xiaotao and the others could not stand it anymore. Even the three brothers Lin Qingming who were driving the carriage felt a little sleepy.
"Dad, come and take my place! I'm a little sleepy and want to go downstairs for a walk."
Lin Qingming yawned for countless times and his eyes became more and more blurry, so he suggested that Uncle Lin speak in my place.
They have been staying up late to do carpentry work these days, and they have little sleep and not much sleep during the day. Now they are very sleepy.
"Okay, go down and take a walk!" Uncle Lin had already noticed his eldest son yawning, but he thought he could hold on, so he didn't say anything.
After Uncle Lin and Lin Qingming switched places, Lin Qingbai also switched places with Lin Xiaoshan, and even Lin Qingran switched places with Lin Qingmin. The three brothers were so sleepy that they were about to fall asleep.
Lin Qingxue has been going out with them to dig wild vegetables every day recently, and she has gotten used to walking. Although it is tiring, she can still persist.
Soon, the sky gradually brightened and the sun slowly rose from the east. After the sun came out, the temperature of the ground continued to rise.
After walking all night, those who had donkey carts were fine, but those who had to push carts and carry luggage were extremely tired. Even people like Lin Qingxue who walked lightly were so tired that their faces turned pale.
At the front of the team, looking at the increasingly bright sun, I thought of the villagers in the village who didn't have ox carts and had to use carts or carry their luggage on their backs. How could the large group continue to move forward?
Lin Jinkang said to his two sons, "Eldest and Second, go tell the villagers. I remember there's a bamboo forest up ahead. Let's stop there to rest. We'll continue on our journey in the afternoon when the sun isn't so strong. Remember to select a few people to patrol the area and keep an eye on everyone."
"I understand, Dad. How about we pick one or two from each family?" Lin Qingchu licked his cracked and peeling lips and said to Lin Jinkang, who was driving the car instead of him.
"Yes! Dad, let's pick two men from each family to form a patrol! I see more and more refugees on the road, and we need to protect the elderly, children, women and children. We can't let anyone steal our food and children."
After hearing what Lin Jinkang said, Lin Qingxun also said that after leaving the village, they encountered many refugees one after another. Although those in a good situation had luggage and food, it was hard to say for those in a bad situation.
"Okay, you two brothers can discuss this matter together," Lin Jinkang nodded. As long as it was good for the villagers, he and everyone else would naturally not refuse.
Lin Qingchu and Lin Qingxun discussed the rules and then started to do it. From families with many people, two men were selected, and from families with few people, one man was selected. In this way, the patrol team of Linjia Village was established.
Lin Qingchu divided the patrol team into two teams, with himself and his younger brother Lin Qingxun serving as captains of the two patrol teams. He also asked everyone to elect a deputy captain to take charge, and the two patrol teams took turns patrolling and protecting the villagers.
When they went to notify the villagers to stop and rest, the two brothers also told them about setting up a patrol team. Some were happy and some were worried, but no one disagreed with the proposal.
Although the villagers were not very smart, they also realized that the purpose of setting up a patrol team was to protect them all. Naturally, they dared not and would not refuse. Who would not be afraid of those refugees who were not afraid of death?
After leaving the village, everyone saw the miserable conditions of the refugees they met on the road. They all knew that if they did not unite, their fate would be even worse than that of the refugees.
Those who were able to escape the famine certainly did not want to die. Since they wanted to live, everyone had already made up their minds to be obedient.
