My daughter was sold, I want to divorce her and go back to my parents' home to escape the famin

"Then what do you think we should do?" Old Man Lin opened his mouth and said with a sad face.

"There's no way forward, and there's no way back. There's a mountain behind us. Let's go up there and find a hidden place to protect the elderly, women, and children. The remaining strong men should all hide and catch those refugees by surprise."

Lin Qingxue thought about the nearby terrain. She had made a special observation when she went to the city to buy things and found that the mountain behind was a good place where they could hide temporarily.

"What if those refugees are so cruel as to set fire to the mountain? Wouldn't we be dead then?" Seeing how seriously Uncle Lin and Lin Qingxue were talking, Aunt Lin suddenly asked.

"Those refugees wouldn't dare set fire to the mountain until it gets that far. Even if they do, we can create a quarantine zone."

Lin Qingxue remembered that when she was studying at the police academy, one of her classmates had a family member who was a firefighter. That person told her some firefighting knowledge, so she knew a little about it.

"Okay, you don't have to worry about this. I'll go talk to the village chief," Old Man Lin took the job on himself. I don't know how he talked to Village Chief Lin, but after the villagers distributed the food, everyone packed up and prepared to move on.

Instead of going up the mountain, they went straight forward. After discussing with Old Man Lin, Village Chief Lin still believed that the risk of going up the mountain was greater than the risk of continuing forward.

On the Lin family's side, after Lin Qingxue and others bought an extra donkey cart, the Liu family now had their own cart. It just so happened that Liu Jiali's two nephews were old enough to drive a donkey cart, and they learned how to drive a donkey cart from Lin Qingran, so they started driving right away.

Liu Jiali and her two sons got directly on the Liu family's donkey cart. There was no luggage on the donkey cart, and there were still many empty seats for the Liu family. Li Yanniang and her three sisters-in-law all got on, Aunt Lin sat on Lin Qingyue's donkey cart, and Lin Qingxue naturally got on as well.

In this way, all the members of the Lin family rode on the donkey cart to travel, and only when their buttocks felt sore would they get off and walk for a while.

We walked for an unknown distance, but it was already dark and the army showed no sign of stopping.

Lin Qingxue and his family were walking at the back, with some refugees following not far behind them. The thoughts of those refugees were obvious to everyone.

"Qingxue, do you think we are going to travel at night?" Aunt Lin and Lin Qingyue looked at the sisters Lin Xiaoya and Lin Xiaowan. Lin Qingxue was sitting in the back playing with a dagger.

Hearing Auntie Lin's words, Lin Qingxue moved her eyes, took a deep look at the refugees following them, and whispered, "We have no choice but to travel at night. There's a group of refugees following us, so we have to travel at night. Auntie, please take out the dry food and share it with everyone!"

What Lin Qingxue didn't say was that if they didn't eat now, when the refugees surrounded them, they would have no time to eat and no energy to deal with them.

"Okay, you'll have strength only after you're full," Aunt Lin replied in a low voice. She took out some pancakes from the basket and distributed them to everyone on the four donkey carts, four pancakes per person and a water bag per cart.

After eating and drinking, it was time for the patrol teams to take turns. After a while, the brothers Lin Qingming and Lin Qingbai came back.

After seeing them come back, Lin Qingran and Lin Qingmin gave up their seats and let them eat in the car while they got out and walked around.

"Big brother, second brother, what does the village chief mean? Should we just set off on the journey at night?" Lin Qingran looked at his two brothers who had finished their meal and asked directly.

"We're on a night march and can't stop to rest for the night. There are people following us from behind and ahead of us. I don't know if they're from the same group. It's not safe during the day, let alone at night."

After Lin Qingming finished speaking, he took a sip of water. He had been walking for most of the day and was tired and hungry. Now he was finally full and could rest, feeling relaxed.

"While it's still early, grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, take the kids and lie down and rest for a while. The refugees will probably move in the second half of the night," Lin Qingbai looked around vigilantly and said in a low voice.

"Then let's take turns to rest!" Lin Qingran thought about it. There are many people in the family, and it is just getting dark. They can take turns sleeping for an hour or two so that they will have energy at night.

"Okay, boss, you brothers and sisters go to sleep first! If those refugees really take action, you will be the main force of defense," Uncle Lin said seriously as he looked at Lin Qingming and his siblings.

After hearing what Uncle Lin said, Old Man Lin and the others spoke up in agreement, and everyone gestured for them to go to sleep first. Lin Qingming and his siblings naturally agreed, and everyone moved around on the donkey cart to make room for them to lie down and rest.

In this way, Lin Qingming and his brothers and sisters lay down on the donkey cart and began to sleep. The breeze was not dry and they fell asleep quickly.

When Lin Qingxue woke up, it was already midnight. She looked around with hazy eyes. The donkey cart was still moving forward slowly. Lin Qingming and others were driving the donkey cart, and the person who had been driving the donkey cart before had already lay down and fallen asleep.

After regaining her composure, Lin Qingxue looked at her two daughters and Lin Qingyue who were sleeping soundly beside her. Aunt Lin was sitting beside them like a soldier, keeping watch for everyone.

"Qingxue, are you awake? Drink some water and calm down." After hearing the noise behind her, Aunt Lin looked back and saw that her eldest niece had woken up and was sitting next to her. She knew that she was not fully awake yet.

"I understand, Auntie," Lin Qingxue nodded, took the water bag and took a few sips, and washed her face with cold water, and then she came to her senses.

“Salad salad!”

Lin Qingxue woke up immediately when she heard a series of noises coming from behind her. She quickly stood up and looked back, and saw groups of refugees trotting towards them. The noises were the sounds of people mopping the floor and occasionally stepping on stones and branches.

"Refugees are coming, everyone quickly form a circle, patrols, be on the lookout. Refugees are coming, everyone quickly form a circle, patrols, be on the lookout..."

Lin Qingxue didn't have time to speak and immediately shouted loudly, breaking the tranquility of the already very quiet night.

Hearing Lin Qingxue's words, Lin Qingchu, who was on duty at night with the patrol team, reacted quickly. He and Lin Qingxun divided the work and cooperated with each other. One person led the patrol to surround the villagers and protect them in the middle, while the other led the villagers to gather together.

Whether they were asleep or not, they were all woken up by Lin Qingxue's words. Those who wanted to doze off immediately became alert and moved very quickly.

Before the refugees arrived, all the villagers in Linjia Village gathered together. The strong men among the villagers hid behind the patrol team with their weapons, and protected the elderly, weak, women and children in the village and everyone's luggage and food in the middle.
