At Old Man Lin's house, after Lin knew that the two brothers had left, the Lin family began to discuss who would go to the patrol team.

To put it nicely, the patrol team has a good reputation, but it is also very dangerous. Lin Qingming and Lin Qingbai both said they wanted to go, and Lin Qingran and Lin Qingmin were vying to go.

Lin Qingxue looked at the four of them, and no one, including the others, said anything. In fact, Lin Qingxue also wanted to go. She had some skills and could protect herself by joining the patrol team. However, she was worried about her two daughters.

"Just the eldest and second oldest one will go. You are the older brothers, so it's your duty to protect your younger siblings. Xiao Tao and Xiao Qi will also come with us to drive the cart. When you learn how to drive, you can replace your father in driving the cart."

Uncle Lin looked at Lin Qingming and his brothers, and spoke without thinking, saying that his palms and backs of his hands were all made of flesh, and he felt uncomfortable too.

"I understand, Master," Lin Xiaotao and Lin Xiaoqi responded in unison. They were both excited to hear that they could drive the carriage.

Although it’s tiring to catch the bus, I don’t have to walk!

They walked for most of the night last night, and their feet are almost sore. They are in so much pain now!

"Grandpa, Dad, the second brother and I will go over there first." Lin Qingming felt happy and sad when he saw that Uncle Lin directly asked him and Lin Qingbai to go to the patrol team, but he quickly sorted himself out.

Both of them knew that they would definitely go to the patrol team, but they still felt a little uncomfortable when they saw Uncle Lin did it without hesitation.

But when they thought about their younger brothers and sisters in the second house who had no parents to share their worries, they felt even worse. They knew that the current situation was caused by their father, Uncle Lin, so how could they say no?

"Go! Be careful," Uncle Lin nodded. They were his sons, how could he not care and worry!

After the brothers Lin Qingming and Lin Qingbai went to the patrol team, Aunt Lin took her two daughters-in-law to distribute food to the family, and Uncle Lin took Lin Qingran to teach his two grandsons how to drive a cart.

"We've walked for such a long time, everyone must be tired and hungry. Let's eat first. After eating, find a place to spread the oilcloth and take a good rest."

While distributing steamed buns made of two-grain flour, Aunt Lin told everyone that they had to get enough sleep during the day because of the sun so that they would have the energy to walk at night.

Men get four steamed buns, women and children get two steamed buns. It’s not that they don’t want to save food, but except for the elderly and children, almost everyone else has to walk. How can they have the energy if they don’t eat enough?

After quickly eating two steamed buns, Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingxue took three pieces of oilcloth and spread them on the ground. The oilcloth was four meters long and three meters wide, so everyone could still sleep if they squeezed together.

Soon, the only sound left was Uncle Lin teaching his two grandsons how to drive the cart, followed by the voices of the few children who had slept that night, and Old Man Lin and Mrs. Lin. Everyone else was asleep.

After sleeping for two hours, or four hours later, Lin Qingxue woke up. When she woke up, everyone else was still sleeping. Even Old Man Lin and the others who had not slept before had lay down to sleep.

Lin Qingxue sat for a while, then stood up and came to Kuaidian. She took a ladle and scooped half a ladle of water and drank it in one breath, then transferred some water from the space to the water tank.

After walking around for a while, Lin Qingxue found a patch of grass to satisfy her physiological needs, and then returned to where everyone slept.

She sat on the oilcloth for a while, and then she saw her three sisters-in-law waking up one after another, and then Aunt Lin and Fang Xiaomei also woke up.

"Qingxue, why don't you take a nap?" Seeing Lin Qingxue sitting next to her, Aunt Lin asked sleepily.

"I've slept enough and I've gotten up. Auntie, sister-in-law, how much dry food do we have left from yesterday? Do you want to make some more to eat when we're on the road tonight?"

Lin Qingxue saw that they were all up and knew that they wanted to wake up early to prepare food. She wanted to go up and help, but as expected, she was rejected.

"Okay, Qingxue, go over there and continue to rest! We are enough here," Aunt Lin shook her head. There is no need for so many people to cook. If there are too many people, it will be difficult to handle the food.

"Yes! Qingxue, you just need to have a good rest," Li Yanniang said with a smile, although the sisters Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingyue were spoiled by their family.

But they all have good tempers and know how to care for their sisters-in-law, and they don't just enjoy the kindness shown to them by others.

"Qingxue, if you have nothing to do, go look around and see if there are any wild vegetables." Seeing that her sister-in-law still wanted to help, Liu Jiali found something for her to do.

"Okay, then I'll go for a walk nearby," Lin Qingxue nodded, and instantly understood what Liu Jiali meant.

Lin Qingxue pulled Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingmin, who had just woken up, and the three siblings walked around nearby. The place where they stopped to rest was actually a bamboo forest.

Although there were weeds growing on the ground, they had already died due to the drought, and even the bamboo looked half-dead.

Lin Qingxue took the twins Lin Qingyue and Lin Qingmin for a walk but didn't gain anything, so she thought of cutting some bamboos and asking Old Man Lin to make a bamboo fence and then put it in the space.

But when he thought that they were following behind the main group and if the thing disappeared, it would definitely be noticed by everyone, he gave up the idea.

The three siblings played for a while and then went back. When they came back, everyone else had woken up and was sitting on the oilcloth waiting for food.

Not only the Lin family woke up, but other villagers in the village also woke up and were busy eating.

The sun slowly set. After the Lin family finished their meal, they put away the oilcloth and prepared to set off at any time. Then the brothers Lin Qingming and Lin Qingbai returned.

"Mother, wife, bring us some food. We have to go on patrol after we finish eating."

The Lin Qingming brothers walked over with a swagger. The people in their team took turns to eat, so they had time to come over.

"Come and take it!" Aunt Lin said loudly. She had plenty of food at home, and everyone had to walk such a long way, so she naturally wouldn't treat them badly with food. Although they couldn't say the food was good, they had no problem getting full.

Lin Qingming and Lin Qingbai ate five each, drank a bowl of water each, and said a few words to their family. The two brothers picked up the axe bought by Lin Qingxue, each took a water bag, and went to work on patrol.

"Let's go," soon a shout came from the front of the team, and the villagers of Linjia Village set off one after another.

Lin Qingxue carried her two daughters onto the donkey cart, and saw Liu Jiali and Fang Xiaomei helping Liu Er's wife to sit on it. Then the little kid Liu Ziwen was carried up and sat next to Liu Er's wife.

Lin Qingxue and the other adults continued to walk, while the youngest ones climbed onto the donkey cart on their own initiative. Old Man Lin and Mrs. Lin also did the same, sitting firmly on the donkey cart driven by Uncle Lin.
