A massive famine! The whole family travels through time together, and with their spatial abilities,

As soon as Lin Wufeng thought of something, he immediately spoke to the third brother with trembling hands.

"Third brother, quick, go to the secret room and see if the grain is still there!"

Lin Wuchong's face was also deathly pale, and his lips trembled uncontrollably.

He staggered and ran toward the garden.

The matter of hoarding grain was of great importance, and most of the Lin family was unaware of it.

Now, the head of the Lin family has no time to keep secrets.

The entire Lin family followed behind, eager to find out what was going on.

Lin Wuchong looked at the guards still lying in the artificial hill and Lin Jingxuan, and his mouth trembled even more violently.

This place has been discovered; the outcome is predictable!

He has given up hope!

But we still have to go in and take a look, just in case.

What if?

Looking at the empty, dark room, Lin Wuchong collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.

He simply lay down on the ground, staring silently at the dark ceiling, muttering something to himself.

Upon seeing this, Lin Wufeng's face turned pale and then dark, but as the head of the Lin family, he could only force himself to remain composed and not let the Lin family members despair.

Lin Wanwan knew how much money her father and third uncle had spent on purchasing grain in the past few days.

After seeing all this, her whole body trembled.

She had only one thought.

It's over, completely over!

Her father has definitely lost all trust in her...

Her fate is bleak!

The Su family members had no idea why the Lin family members all looked like this.

It's just an empty house.

Is it really as bad as the death of the whole family?

But none of them dared to speak, trying to minimize their presence.

.

early morning.

Waves of heat assaulted the refugees fleeing the famine.

The people of Peach Blossom Village, who had been traveling all night, finally stopped.

This place is already thirty miles away from Qingzhou, so it should be safe for now.

Although there were many refugees fleeing famine along the way, there were also quite a few people in Peach Blossom Village, and the men were all carrying large knives.

Even if some people coveted their supplies, no one dared to actually steal them.

The army looted all the belongings of Peach Blossom Village.

They didn't even have any cooking utensils.

Fortunately, Shen Shuli had considered everything thoroughly, and all kinds of supplies were prepared in those twenty-eight truckloads.

“Let’s all eat together from the same pot these next few days. Each family should send someone to help with the cooking,” Su Yunhai said to the villagers.

The villagers thought the Su family would lend them some grain, but they didn't expect that they would share it with everyone.

Li Youren felt embarrassed to take advantage of the Su family, so he quickly said, "Dahai, this is not allowed. How about we buy some cooked food with you? We don't have any cooking utensils here. Or we can buy grain from you, and you can borrow our pots and pans after you finish eating."

The Zhang family shared the same idea as the Li family, expressing that they did not want to owe the Su family anything.

Su Yunhai did not force him.

After taking stock of the supplies in the car, it was decided to give three large iron pots to the Zhang and Li families respectively.

There aren't enough bowls and chopsticks.

This is easy to solve.

Along the way, there were dead trees and bamboo everywhere; with a little processing, they could be used to serve rice.

They also distributed two cartloads of grain to the Zhang and Li families, totaling about a thousand catties.

In addition, a truckload of other supplies was distributed, such as water, lard, dried meat, cured meat, vegetables, fruits, salt, sugar, mats, and mattresses.

Each of the two families gave Su Yunhai an IOU for one thousand taels of silver.

These supplies couldn't support the more than one hundred villagers who had been sold into servitude to the Zhang family, so Zhang Shiwen handed them over to the Su family.

They exchanged these people for a truckload of supplies: food, water, and vegetables.

This is the end.

Apart from the Shen, Zhang, and Li families, all the other villagers from Peach Blossom Village who were traveling with them had become servants of the Su family, having signed indentures.

However, the contract has not yet gone through the official procedures, and the villagers are not yet considered slaves.

As a fellow villager, Su Yunhai didn't want the villagers to become slaves.

Once things have settled down, he will have the villagers change the form of their debts and restore their freedom.

The Su family naturally had to take care of everyone's food rations.

The villagers were actually quite happy.

At least until this batch of food is used up, they won't have to worry about food and water anymore.

Shen Yuehua assigned tasks to the villagers, such as gathering firewood, starting a fire, cooking porridge, steaming buns, washing vegetables, and stir-frying dishes.

Everyone cooperated very actively in the work.

Before long, a steaming hot breakfast was ready.

Ten large pots of thick, sticky rice porridge with dried meat, each containing dried meat, eggs, bok choy, salt, and oil.

This is the least water and oil wasted method.

There are also all-you-can-eat multigrain steamed buns.

We don't cook lunch; we make plenty of multigrain steamed buns, enough for lunch.

Every villager ate their fill and felt very satisfied.

Let alone now, during famine years, even in times of good weather, no family has ever had such a full meal.

They all benefited from the Su family's influence.

If servants could eat this much every meal, they would have sold themselves long ago.

Unfortunately, only the Su family was truly a benevolent family.

The Zhang and Li families were relatively small, so they finished their breakfast early.

Seeing that the Su family had meat, vegetables, and eggs, everyone was extremely envious.

They didn't have much food, and it was all obtained by owing huge debts.

They wouldn't dare eat like the Su family.

So they ate very thin rice water and cornbread, only enough to fill their stomachs with water.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and tidied up, they continued on their journey.

During the time we stayed and ate in Peach Blossom Village.

Then thousands more people stepped forward.

It is clear that the situation inside Qingzhou City is extremely dire.

But the refugees outside the city will definitely suffer.

Regardless of the outcome, given the food shortages in Qingzhou and its military camps, neither side will be able to hold out for long before abandoning their defense of the city.

Besides, the northern barbarians will attack in five days at most.

Those 20,000 garrison troops were utterly unable to resist the iron cavalry of the Northern Barbarians.

They had to leave the northern territory as quickly as possible.

"Dad, the nearest county town is still eighty li away. We definitely won't make it before dark."

Shen Shuli showed Su Yunhai the map.

"Let's rest here for the night. There's a river on the map, but I don't know if it's dried up yet," Su Yunhai said, pointing to a spot.

"Row."

There wasn't a single animal in the team; they relied entirely on manpower to pull and push the carts.

The carriage was gone, of course.

All the women in the Su family had to walk.

Li Jiao'e remains unconscious.

"Father, I really can't carry it anymore, please think of a way!"

Su Chang'an is now afraid whenever he hears about traveling.

Yesterday, when Su Chang'an was in Qingzhou City, he carried Li Jiao'e to the best clinic to see a doctor.

Unfortunately, the doctors shook their heads and didn't say anything after examining the patient, only prescribing a lot of medicine.

Without a carriage, Su Chang'an had to carry his wife on his back as they traveled.

He didn't have much strength to begin with, and he couldn't carry the child for more than a few steps before he had to rest.

I always end up at the back of the line.

He wanted someone to carry his wife for him, but who would dare to carry someone else's wife when they're married?

Unmarried young men would be even less likely to do so!

The second son, Su Ping'an, is indeed strong, but it doesn't sound good for a brother-in-law to carry his sister-in-law on his back.

Besides, Su Ping'an has to carry his wife on his back, so he wouldn't touch any other women.

My sister-in-law won't do either.

As for Su Ding'an...

Su Ding'an was the thinnest of the three brothers, and not as strong as the eldest.

Besides, he's reached the age where he should be getting married, and we can't afford to spread a bad reputation.

He decisively rejected his older brother's unreasonable request.
