Men from every household carried their children on the side, or gathered the elderly, children and women in a group, and pulled out sharp tools such as axe or kitchen knife from their luggage to use as weapons to resist these refugees.

At this critical moment, even the most timid women and children would pull out the sticks at home and hold them tightly in their hands, and when the opportunity arose, they would rush towards the refugees.

The war was about to break out, and the noise was getting louder and louder. Fortunately, the patrol team had already made preparations, and everyone was always on guard against these refugees.

Even when it was dark and no one could see friend or foe clearly, the women would pick up torches and stand on the luggage in the car, holding the torches high to illuminate the patrol team so that they would not be hit.

The patrol team fought fiercely, and the refugees could not withstand it, so they slowly retreated.

Everyone understands the principle of not chasing a desperate enemy, so when the refugees ran away, no one dared to chase them.

After all the refugees left, Lin Qingchu led the patrol members to clean up the battlefield and sort out the situation.

After everyone's brave resistance, they successfully kept their luggage and nothing was stolen.

Unfortunately, however, about a dozen people were injured in the battle, but fortunately these were only minor abrasions.

On the Lin family's side, when the refugees rushed over to rob property, everyone showed quick reaction ability.

After everything calmed down, Lin Qingran and Lin Qingmin checked carefully to confirm that no one was injured in the house and nothing was lost.

Everyone felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, the Lin Qingming brothers came back. Neither of them was injured. They came home with the instructions of Village Chief Lin.

"Grandma, Mom, Dad, my uncle said it's still unsafe to travel at night. We plan to find a place to stop for the night and continue our journey after daybreak."

After Lin Qingming finished speaking, he scooped a bucket of water from the water tank and drank it all. Then Lin Qingbai also drank a bucket of water. The two of them were very full and had not digested the food yet, but they were very thirsty.

"Although it's cooler to travel at night, it's really unsafe. It's better to travel during the day," Old Man Lin nodded and said with a smile.

"Big brother, second brother, are you two hurt?" Mrs. Lin looked her two grandsons up and down worriedly. She was worried that they would rush forward like fools without considering themselves at all.

"We are not injured," Lin Qingming shook his head and said, "Grandpa and grandma, we have to keep watch tonight, so we will go over first. You don't have to wait for us at night."

Lin Qingming said this and left with Lin Qingbai, both of them returning to the patrol team to work.

Soon, the large group set off again and walked for about an hour before stopping to spend the night.

Hearing that they were going to stop for the night, Lin Qingran, along with Lin Qingmin, Lin Xiaoshan and the two Liu brothers, began to spread out oilcloth and thin quilts. After they had cleaned up the sleeping area, they also prepared Old Man Lin's fire.

Although we are not afraid of the cold in summer, having a small fire can also protect animals that are afraid of fire, and everyone can feel more at ease.

"Everyone, go to bed! We will reach Lingyun City in two or three days, and then we can go into the city to buy some things." Mrs. Lin and Old Man Lin were arranged to sleep in the middle. Next to Mrs. Lin were the sisters Lin Qingyue, Lin Xiaoya and Lin Xiaowan. The others also slept together as a family, but men and women were separated.

Hearing what Mrs. Lin said, smiles appeared on the faces of the others, especially the Liu family. Once they arrived in Lingyun City, they could borrow some money from the Lin family and buy some cloth to make some spare clothes for the whole family.

Wearing the same clothes every day and without water to take a bath, everyone smelled bad, not just the Liu family, but the Lin family as well.

With anticipation for the future, everyone fell asleep quickly. After everyone fell asleep, Lin Qingxue went to the toilet, pulled Lin Qingran to keep watch for her, and then took him into the space to work.

"Qingxue, is this the treasure your parents gave you?" Lin Qingran said in shock. He looked around the space and found everything strange.

"Yes, brother, see, I made all of this myself. Our family will never lack food and vegetables. As long as we are careful to avoid those refugees, we will definitely be able to reach the imperial capital alive."

Lin Qingxue said confidently that she had food in her space, including both meat and vegetables, and she had more than a thousand taels of silver notes on her. She didn't believe that her family couldn't live well.

"Then why did you drag me in now?" Lin Qingran looked at Lin Qingxue speechlessly. Why didn't you sleep late at night and dragged him in to scold him?

"Brother, what are you thinking? I saw you come in, of course you're here to work. I haven't been in for a few days. Those vegetables need watering. You should go to work quickly! There's a lot of work waiting for you."

Lin Qingxue said as she pushed Lin Qingran towards the vegetable garden. The vegetables in the garden were a little wilted because they hadn't been watered for a few days. They had to be watered quickly. Also, she had to pick up chicken and duck eggs.

"Okay," Lin Qingran nodded. Since he was here now, of course he would do the work, otherwise his eldest sister would not have brought him in.

After the brother and sister had made things clear, they started to work. Lin Qingran was responsible for watering the fields, and Lin Qingxue was responsible for picking up various eggs.

After finishing their work, the brother and sister left the space and went back to sleep. They slept until dawn. When Lin Qingxue woke up, the women of the Lin family and Fang Xiaomei were already preparing breakfast for the family.

The women of the Lin family were relatively early in getting up. Many other families in the village had not yet gotten up, but the Lin family could already have breakfast.

"Qingxue, get up and have breakfast!" Seeing Lin Qingxue get up, Aunt Lin, who was preparing dry food for the day, took the time to greet her.

Lin Qingxue responded and took Lin Xiaoya and her sister and Lin Qingyue to fetch water to wash up. The four of them sat down and started eating.

After the four of them finished eating, they saw the brothers Lin Qingming and Lin Qingbai coming back. It turned out that it was time for the shift change, and the two of them rushed back to have breakfast.

"Brother, second brother, your breakfast is here," Lin Qingxue hurriedly called out when she saw Lin Qingming and Lin Qingbai coming back.

After hearing Lin Qingxue's words, Lin Qingming and Lin Qingbai quickly sat down to have breakfast. After eating, Lin Qingxue and the other three found a secluded place nearby to satisfy their physiological needs and then went back.

"Qingyue, take your two nieces and ride on the donkey cart. We will set off soon." Seeing that the other villagers were almost hungry after packing up, Lin Qingxue knew that they were about to set off.

It just so happened that when they came back, Aunt Lin and the others had almost prepared all their dry food, except for the last few.
