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

After working all morning, they were very hungry. When they returned to their camp, they saw that everyone had already eaten.

"Qingxue, this is the silver for you. I have 40 kilograms of pork left. Cut some pork and send it to my uncle's family and the elders of the clan later! We can keep the rest for ourselves."

As Lin Qingming spoke, he gestured to Lin Qingbai to put the pork down on the donkey cart. He gave the purse to Lin Qingxue and went to wash his hands and prepare to eat.

After the Lin family finished their lunch, other villagers were eating. Seeing the long-lost liveliness and the smiles on the villagers' faces, Lin Qingxue was also infected. She smiled silently and really hoped that this happiness could last forever.

Lin Qingming cut several half-pound pieces of pork and one two-pound piece from the remaining forty pounds of pork, and then took Lin Qingran to deliver them to the home of Village Chief Lin and several clan elders.

After the villagers finished lunch, Village Chief Lin rang the gong to prepare for departure. A quarter of an hour later, he rang the gong again, and the large group set off to continue their journey.

Lin Qingxue turned over and rode on the horse. She immediately saw her two daughters sitting on the donkey cart, looking at her eagerly. She smiled and said, "Xiaoya, Xiaowan, do you want to ride horses too?"

"Yes, mother, Xiaoya/Xiaowan also wants to ride a horse," the two sisters answered in unison.

"Okay, then you take turns. Xiaoya is the older sister, so Xiaoya goes first. Each of you can ride for half an hour, okay?" After Lin Qingxue finished speaking, she got off the horse. She reached out and touched the heads of her two daughters. Although they were sensible and obedient, this was not a reason for her to ignore them.

"Okay," Lin Xiaoya and Lin Xiaowan looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the children agreed, Lin Qingxue first carried her eldest daughter onto the horse, and then went up herself.

"Xiaoya, if you two hold on here, you won't fall down," Lin Qingxue said as she pulled her eldest daughter's hand onto the saddle and held the rope herself.

The large group slowly started moving. Seeing that her eldest daughter was not afraid at all, Lin Qingxue took her and ran slowly. After running for a short distance, they stopped and walked slowly. After the large group caught up, the mother and daughter walked next to the Lin family.

Soon, half an hour passed. Lin Xiaoya and Lin Xiaowan exchanged positions. Lin Qingxue also ran for a while with her little daughter before returning to the Lin family's donkey cart.

The road out of Tingfeng County is becoming more and more difficult to travel, not because there are too many refugees, but because there are too many robbers on the road. Many refugees form teams on the spot and start robbing refugees with more supplies.

It took two days to walk from Tingfeng County, and the villagers of Linjia Village only walked less than fifty miles. It was not because they walked slowly, but because they encountered robberies many times.

After dealing with a group of robbers, Village Chief Lin asked everyone to rest on the spot, and the women of each family began to pack their luggage. During the resistance, some families had some food robbed, and some men in other families suffered some minor injuries.

Therefore, regardless of gender, age or status, everyone was standing beside the car with sad faces.

Village chief Linlin left a patrol team to protect the villagers. He asked his two grandsons to call the heads of each family to a meeting to discuss what to do next.

After hearing what Lin Qingchu said, Uncle Lin and Old Man Lin pulled Lin Qingxue over. They knew that their Qingxue girl was very smart and should be able to help.

A quarter of an hour later, the heads of each family who received the notice came to Village Chief Lin. When they saw Lin Qingxue following suit, no one said anything.

"You are all here, and you all know why I called you here. Come on and speak!" After seeing that everyone was present, Village Chief Lin looked up at everyone and said with a droopy face and expressionless face.

The villagers who came to the meeting looked at each other. They were also tired. It had only been two days since they left Tingfeng County, and they had faced five bandit robberies. Almost all the patrol team members suffered minor skin injuries.

Not only that, almost every family had some food robbed by bandits, even the Lin family was no exception.

Old Man Lin looked at everyone, then at Village Chief Lin, and said, "Does anyone know of any small paths nearby? We're taking the main road, which is full of bandits. Small paths shouldn't have many bandits, right?"

"The small road is too narrow for donkey carts and horse carriages," Lin Qingxue looked at everyone and whispered, "We've already encountered several robberies in just two days. Everyone has been robbed of some food. As for whether the situation ahead will be even worse, no one knows."

"Qingxue is right. Each of our families doesn't have much food to begin with, and some of it was stolen. If it was stolen again, we would starve to death." The person who spoke had no relatives within the five generations of the Lin family, and according to seniority, he was Lin Qingxue's cousin.

"If we take the small road, what about the donkey carts and horse carriages? If there are no carriages, we will have to carry so much luggage ourselves," said a cousin of Lin Qingxue.

"The roads and donkey carts cannot be abandoned unless it is absolutely necessary," said Village Chief Lin with a stern face, and the others nodded in agreement.

The topic came to a standstill. Everyone was silent in tacit understanding. No one spoke. Everyone was thinking about what to do to save food and everyone's lives. Neither of them could be missing.

After looking around, Lin Qingxue said, "We have two choices now. One is to continue forward, as the road ahead is unknown. The other is to send a few people back to Tingfeng County and sell the carriages and donkey carts for silver. We can then carry our luggage and food along smaller roads and cross the mountains. With the silver, we can settle down when we reach the imperial city."

Listening to Lin Qingxue's words, Village Chief Lin and several elders began to think about the feasibility of these two options. No one was stupid. Although they were reluctant to give up the car and the carriage, compared to losing their lives, these material possessions seemed less important.

Village Chief Lin looked up at the bewildered villagers, then at Lin Qingxue. He said, "Qingxue, it's not convenient for so many of us to travel with all our luggage! Is there any other solution?"

Lin Qingxue thought for a moment and then said, "If you don't want to carry your luggage with you, you can only keep moving forward."

She had no choice. She couldn't expose her own space, right?

These villagers are not that important, and she doesn't want to die again.

In fact, Village Chief Lin and the villagers also understood this meaning, but for a while, no one could accept it.

After a long silence, Village Chief Lin finally spoke: "Do you think you should sell your horse and donkey carts for silver? I'll give you two days to discuss it carefully. We'll stop here and rest for the next two days. After two days, whether we go forward or take the mountain roads or small paths, we must set off."

After Village Chief Lin finished speaking, his whole demeanor became much more decadent. As the village chief and the patriarch, he really felt guilty towards everyone.
