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

After passing Lingyun City, the situation outside was slightly better. Of course, there were still the same number of refugees.

However, those refugees were more "orthodox". They all carried some luggage with them, and were surrounded by groups of friends. They also looked much better.

Seeing those people, Lin Qingxue felt relieved. The fact that these refugees had luggage showed that although they lacked water and food, they were "good people."

After walking for two days and covering only twenty-three miles, the villagers of Linjia Village could no longer walk. It was not because they were lazy, but because the wounds of the injured were inflamed and filled with pus, and many people were in excruciating pain.

At the front of the main force, Village Chief Lin waved his hand and called the brothers Lin Qingchu and Lin Qingxun over, asking them to notify the main force to stop and rest.

Soon, the large group stopped, but no one knew how long they could rest, so everyone did not unload their things. They just stood there and moved around nearby.

At Village Chief Lin's house, Village Chief Lin looked at his two grandsons with a worried look on his face and whispered, "Look at the fifty-eight injured people. Can they continue walking? If not, find a place to rest for a few days."

"Got it, Grandpa. The second brother and I will go check it out right away," Lin Qingchu nodded in agreement. He asked his wife to bring out something for everyone to eat, and then he took Lin Qingxun to do his business.

At the Lin family's side, Lin Qingxue was sitting on a donkey cart. She felt very uncomfortable watching her family busying around. She didn't know when this escape from famine would end.

"Qingxue, come and have something to eat and drink some water, otherwise we will have to leave soon," Liu Jiali considerately took two scones to Lin Qingxue, and then went to deliver scones to other people.

While the Lin family was eating, brothers Lin Qingchu and Lin Qingxun came over. He went straight to Old Man Lin and asked him and Uncle Lin, "Grandpa, Uncle, I want to ask you if you know of any caves or other places nearby. The wounds of the injured people in the village are inflamed and festering, and they need to stop and rest for a few days to recuperate."

"Cave?" Old Man Lin muttered to himself as he recalled the past. After a long while, he finally spoke: "Is there a bamboo mountain ahead? The kind with bamboos of all sizes. If so, I remember hearing an old man say when I was a child that there is a big cave on the mountain. There is another world inside the cave. We can rest there for a while."

After hearing what Old Man Lin said, Lin Qingchu looked at Uncle Lin and saw that he seemed to be recalling something. He thought about it and agreed, but he still needed to go back and discuss it with Village Chief Lin and others.

"Okay, grandpa and uncle, let's go and discuss it with my grandfather and the others. If possible, we can go to that cave to rest for a few days," Lin Qingchu nodded, his expression much more relaxed.

Thinking of the injured families in the village, Uncle Lin asked, "Are those injured seriously injured? Can they make it to the cave?"

Lin Qingchu shook his head and said, "It's very serious. I can't hold on any longer. There's nothing I can do. I can't just rest on the side of the road, right?"

"That's right," Uncle Lin nodded and said nothing more. Even though his family had guns and ammunition, they also had injured people. No matter how compassionate they were, they had to put their family first.

The two brothers, Lin Qingchu and Lin Qingxun, returned to Village Chief Lin and told him about their conversation with Old Man Lin. After a brief thought, he said, "You two brothers should split up. Second brother, take a few people to explore the way ahead and see if you can find the cave your uncle mentioned. Boss, our main force will rest for an hour before setting off again."

"Got it, sir. I'll go now," Lin Qingxun looked at Lin Qingchu and agreed without thinking.

Lin Qingxun picked a few uninjured brothers from the patrol team to follow him, and then led everyone forward on foot. They went ahead to explore the way to find the cave that Old Man Lin mentioned.

They walked for half an hour before arriving at the foot of Bamboo Mountain, which was more like a slope than a mountain.

Lin Qingxun and his companions searched the area for a long time but could not find the cave that Old Man Lin mentioned. Instead, they found several dry pools, which were very small and shallow.

Unable to find the cave, Lin Qingxun and his group had to return home in disappointment. However, they did not expect that on the way back, they found a small path. Following the path, they found a dilapidated Taoist temple.

The Taoist temple is called Mingyue Temple. A plaque is hung diagonally on the door. The house is full of cobwebs and thick dust. It is obvious that no one has lived there for a long time.

Lin Qingxun and his companions walked into Mingyue Temple and took a closer look. Although the Taoist temple looked dilapidated, the structure of the house was still intact and could accommodate the villagers of Linjia Village to rest temporarily.

Lin Qingxun left a few people here to clean up, and he hurried back to the main group with the others to report to Village Chief Lin and take them to the Taoist temple to rest.

Lin Qingchu and the main force were resting. They were a little surprised to see Lin Qingxun come back so soon. Lin Qingxun told them everything about his discovery of Mingyue Temple.

After hearing this, Village Chief Lin discussed it with several elders and felt that although Mingyue Temple was dilapidated, it was also a place where they could rest and recuperate.

So, he asked Lin Qingchu to organize the villagers to head towards Mingyue Temple, which was a temporary place they had finally found.

The injured villagers, supported by their families, struggled to move forward towards Mingyue Temple. Everyone held their breath, and no one wanted to be a burden.

Along the way, Lin Qingxue looked at everyone's tired yet determined expressions, her heart filled with emotion. She knew very well that on this journey of fleeing famine, every safe place to rest was extremely precious.

After arriving at Mingyue Temple, the villagers began to clean up. The women cleared away cobwebs and dust, while the men went to look for some usable materials nearby to repair the doors and windows.

The few villagers who stayed earlier had only done a simple clean-up. Now that everyone had cleaned it carefully, Mingyue felt much more comfortable watching it.

Lin Qingchu asked the villagers to start treating the wounds of the injured villagers. They found the only few herbs in the packages, boiled them into medicinal soup, and used it to clean the wounds of the injured.

These medicines were bought earlier. Although the conditions were difficult, everyone worked together.

However, Mingyue Temple had been uninhabited for a long time, and the water source around it became a problem. Lin Qingxun took a few people to look for water. They walked along the trail for a long time and finally found a thin stream in a valley.

Although the water flow was not strong, it was enough for the villagers to use temporarily. After finding the water source, the villagers immediately carried water back to the Taoist temple.
