This Second Male Lead Has Something Special

Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water.

This is what Su Lin thought of.

Their current dilemma is that they can't earn what they want from people, so why not set their sights on non-human places?

Forget the mountains. Generally, except for the deep mountains, the side and foot of the mountains have long been searched by the surrounding villagers. Unless you go into the deep mountains, there is no chance to find food.

But the deep mountains are too dangerous. Some ferocious wild birds and various poisonous snakes and insects may make you lose your life if you encounter them.

If the mountains don't work, why can't we choose the sea?

Due to natural disasters and droughts, some small rivers and lakes around have dried up.

It's impossible to live by the water.

But on another road, if you walk to the final destination along that road, you will reach a sea.

Even if it is dry, the sea will not dry up.

Su Lin had planned the route long ago. According to their current journey, it should take about a month to reach the sea. If they save food or find some food on the way, they can persist to the sea.

As long as they reach the sea, they can get a lot of food from the sea.

As it happens, this is Su Lin's strong point.

He once lived by the sea and knew how to pickle all kinds of seafood.

More importantly, they needed some tools.

They needed some tools for long-distance travel to bring food to the imperial city.

There was another reason why Su Lin chose this road.

Because this road would be a little off, but not too roundabout, and it would be possible to take a detour of more than ten days to prepare food for the next two months.

Otherwise, without food along the way, it would be really difficult for them to reach the imperial city.

Bi Qiao naturally had no objection. This detour would delay some time, but now they lacked everything except time.

However, when others heard Su Lin's suggestion, they all had some other ideas.

"If there is no shortage of water over there, why don't we just settle there? We don't have to spend another two months to walk to the imperial city."

"Yes, why don't we just settle down by the sea."

It's true that some people were really moved.

The reason they left their hometown was because of natural disasters and drought, the land was so dry that they couldn't grow food, and the enemy came to their door, so they had to leave.

But if they could find a place without enemies and water, why would they have to travel so long? They could settle down there, find a suitable village to settle down, and open up some fields. The first few years should be difficult, but as long as they work harder, they can still live a good life.

In addition, that place is close to their hometown. If they survive natural disasters and man-made disasters, they can go back if they want.

The more they thought about it, the better it was. They hurriedly said, "Let's go to the beach."

"Then let's leave early, and it will be more reassuring to get to the beach early."

"How can that be, didn't we agree to go to the imperial city?" Gui Xingwang was a little anxious. He regretted it now. He didn't show the map to Su Lin earlier. Who knew that he had such a good memory and remembered everything after a few glances. He also studied the map so carefully that he could even see the sea marked on it.

"But now there is a better place than the Imperial City, so why not choose the seaside?"

"The Imperial City is good, but can you be sure that the court can control us?"

"Look at the closed gate of the county town. If it is still the same after going to the Imperial City, what should we do?"

It's not that they are thinking wildly, but it is really possible.

The county town closed the gate, which clearly shows that they don't want to control them. If they work hard for several months to get to the Imperial City and it is still like this, then they have gone for nothing?

In fact, as early as this time, some people have begun to back down. Even at the foot of the Imperial City, this unknown road is too bumpy, and no one knows what will happen next.

Look around, there are a group of refugees who are starving to death.

Now they can still endure, but what will happen in the end when they can't bear it anymore?

They can imagine some things, which is the bottom line they can't accept.

I just hope they will never become this group of refugees.

"I heard that the place is not suitable for planting, and the surrounding villagers are all fishermen. If you can make a living, you can settle down there." Bi Qiao said.

"Not suitable for planting?"

"What should we do? We don't know how to go out to sea to fish."

Gui Xingwang heard this and felt more hopeful. He gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go first. We need to solve the problem of food first."

After saying this, the group did not stay outside the city wall any longer.

After a short rest, they got up and left.

As for the others.

Still stayed outside the city wall, waiting numbly, waiting for the people inside to open the city gate.

In this way, Gui Xingwang set the destination at the seaside, and they set off again.

After they left, the two of them and Xin Yun's group also arrived outside the county town.

Compared to two days ago, the outside of the city wall seemed particularly unstable.

The refugees didn't know how long they had been hungry. Instead of staying outside the city wall and waiting, they found tools at hand, gathered at the city gate, and were digging holes.

When the people from Xin Yun's village arrived, the first thing they saw was the green eyes of this group of people who were so hungry that they stared at them tightly, as if they would pounce at any time.

However, considering them, after a little hesitation, he turned around and continued to chisel at the door.

"Village chief, should we leave?" Li Da stepped forward, holding his bag tightly in one hand, as if he was afraid that someone would come to rob us. "These people must have been hungry for a long time. If they come to rob us..."

"How dare they? This is outside the county town, and there are soldiers and government officials inside." Some people didn't believe it. "If the government was useful, do you think they would stay outside the city wall to chisel the city gate?"

Yes, it was clear that the people in the court had completely given up on them.

The village chief didn't hesitate much, and didn't continue to move forward. He immediately made a decision, "Let's go around."

The others listened to the village chief's instructions and turned around to leave.

But Xin Yun in the middle of the crowd suddenly shouted: "We have food, we have a lot of food in our hands!"

Originally, this area was not too noisy, and Xin Yun's screams were heard by everyone around.

Even when Xin Yun said food, the people next to her had covered her mouth, but it was still too late.

The refugees who were chiseling the door all made the same move.

They had already turned their heads, their eyes fixed on Xin Yun and his group.

After one of them rushed towards them, the others all moved... all of them rushed towards them with shining eyes and fierce faces...

Su Lin's side was relatively smooth.

It's not that she didn't encounter people who came to rob food, but they were all beaten away by Bi Qiao.

She really lived up to her reputation as a chivalrous woman, and some young people and children looked at her with admiration.

Including Su Lin.

Look, the stick is so powerful, beating the bad guys to death, and he only needs to stay in the distance and wait quietly, and all the troubles can be solved.

"Brother, can I learn it?" Su Xi's eyes were full of admiration, and he even gestured while watching, and cheered with a "haha" in his mouth.

If they really encounter bandits, it won't be just Bi Qiao who will go.

Su Xi looked at his second brother and followed him, and he was so envious that he wished he could go to the battlefield and kick the bandits like his sister-in-law.

"Wait for your sister-in-law to come back, and ask her yourself." Su Lin said.

Su Xi jumped up and down, looking particularly happy.

Zhou, who was watching from the side, was becoming more and more satisfied and grateful to her daughter-in-law. She thought it would be difficult, but now she found that the journey was quite smooth, and even the children had a look of joy in their eyes.

Especially when Su Lin couldn't help but want to be kind when he met refugees begging for mercy, Bi Qiao would come out to stop him and pull his earlobe to stop him from moving.

Look, it's really good to have a daughter-in-law who can control her son.

In any case, their journey to the seaside was very smooth.

Even though there were some thrilling moments, they walked safely with their joint efforts.

On the twentieth day, they still had about seven or eight days left on their journey, but each household had little food.

Fortunately, as they walked further, they could see more and more plants, the land on the road was no longer dry and cracked, and they could occasionally pick some wild vegetables.

Finally, Gui Xingwang proposed to distribute food uniformly.

Gather all the food together, distribute it to other people in fixed quantities every day, and add the wild vegetables that can be picked occasionally, so the last few days are not too difficult.

In addition, their luck is really good.

There are always some wild birds running along the way, sometimes piglets, sometimes chickens, small snakes, rabbits, etc.

Although they are all cubs, they are meat after all.

If they can meet pigs, cattle and sheep, even if they are cubs, everyone can have a full meal.

In addition to the hard walk, they really didn't suffer too much.

"What do you want to eat today?" Su Lin asked the person next to him while sitting on a stone pier far away from the crowd.

Bi Qiao smacked his lips and thought seriously, "Let's have a sheep. In this weather, boil a bowl of hot sheep soup to warm the body."

Su Lin couldn't help but be greedy after listening to it.

The weather is getting colder and colder now. It started snowing the day before yesterday. Everyone can't keep out the cold even if they are wearing thick clothes.

It would be a great pleasure to have a bowl of hot mutton soup at this time.

Su Lin closed his eyes and signed in for the lottery.

——Ding Dong, signing in won more than just a lamb that his wife was drooling over.

This result was not surprising to Su Lin.

Because along the way, he and Bi Qiao had almost figured out the rules of the sign-in system.

The rewards obtained by signing in are all the things that the "family" misses the most.

Originally, the scope of this "family" only included parents and three younger siblings, but after Bi Qiao confirmed the relationship between them, Bi Qiao also belonged to the scope of "family".

This made it easier for them to cheat.

If Bi Qiao was not there, it would be difficult for him to use the sign-in system to get what he wanted.

It could be said to be a coincidence once or twice, but how could they meet what they miss every time?

But it is different now. This is a little secret between him and Bi Qiao.

No one will know that these wild birds that come to their door from time to time are the reason for them.

Others will only think it is a coincidence or a miracle.

"Hit?" Bi Qiao looked at him sideways.

Su Lin nodded.

Bi Qiao looked at the big team again, "Who is the lucky one this time?"

They were not the only ones who found these wild birds, most of them were other people.

Su Lin said casually, "Niu Shunan, he will go ahead to explore the way."

With such an arrangement, Niu Shun'an, who was exploring the way about half an hour later, came over in great joy, carrying a little lamb on his shoulders.

"Lamb! I found the lamb."

This sound made the crowd, who were originally shivering from the cold, instantly boil.

"My God, what a lamb."

"Niu Shunan, you must be very lucky."

At this time, Gui Xingwang will definitely stand up. He directed everyone, "Burn the fire a little brighter. You guys go find the water source. You go dig some wild vegetables...Quickly, everyone gets moving."

No one refused his command.

Except for some old people and children, everyone started to move.

Including Su Lin.

They walked towards the hillside. When others saw it, they couldn't help but envy: "Ms. Su Lin, your family is really lucky. Look at the two of them, they are really inseparable. When you find a place to settle down, you are afraid that I can hold my grandson."

Mrs. Zhou's face burst into laughter when she heard this, "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, now you can't even eat, your grandson will have to suffer even if he comes, it's better to delay it a few years."

"That's what you said. It's okay for us to suffer, but we can't let the children join us."

"Hey, I don't know how long it will take to settle down."

"It's good now. At least we can have a sip of hot mutton soup at night."

It sounds like this. They have seen too many miserable scenes. In comparison, they are considered very lucky.

A bowl of hot mutton soup in the middle of winter makes me feel really refreshed.

Su Lin held his youngest sister in his arms. Different from the first time, Bei Yatou was more agile at this time. She didn't have to sleep all the time to save food. As long as she could persist, she would let her go and walk.

I'm tired, but I don't have to sleep groggy every day. The more I sleep, the more numb I become.

Su Lin weighed her gently. The weight when he held her was a little heavier than before, which was good. The previous Bei Yatou was too light.

It was so light that he felt a little panicked when he held her in his arms. He had to feel her breath from time to time, for fear that she would just disappear in his arms.

"Can I tear some more meat for you?" Su Lin lowered his head and asked her softly.

Bei Yatou responded crisply, her big eyes full of expectation.

She is very sensible and eats as much as she has, and will never take the initiative to ask for it.

She had no food before, so it was difficult to feed her.

But it's different now. Even if I can't eat to fullness, I'm not so hungry that my stomach will feel sore and my feet will ache.

Tear some mutton for Bei Yatou and let her drink a bowl of mutton soup.

After a while, the little guy fell asleep in Su Lin's arms.

Bi Qiao heard her making some noises and said interestingly: "She can also snore."

It's not really snoring, it's actually just making some breathing sounds, but the sound is a bit loud, but it sounds quite cute.

Su Lin wrapped Bei Yatou in a small blanket. The weather was getting colder and colder.

Especially since they were very close to the seaside, the weather was cold and the sea breeze was blowing. Even if they wore all the clothes on their bodies, they still felt bitingly cold.

It's very difficult for adults, let alone children. He looked ahead and said slowly: "I'm afraid the road ahead will be even more difficult."

Bi Qiao said: "What I fear more is hunger than the cold."

The cold does not make people despair.

You can find caves to protect yourself from the cold and wind, and you can also gather together to light firewood. There are many ways to resist the cold.

But hunger is different.

If you can't find food along the way, you may starve to death, or you may be used as food.

No matter what the possibility was, it was not what she wanted to see.

The weather is very cold now.

But there's nothing bad about it except the cold.

The closer you get to the seaside, the land is no longer dry, and you can find some wild vegetables from time to time. Although the people you meet on the road are wary of each other, they are not to the point of fighting each other for resources.

Therefore, compared with hunger, cold is not so unacceptable.

Bi Qiao turned her head to the side, and she didn't know why. She took the initiative and said, "Aren't you curious about the mission I have to do in the imperial city?"

Previously, it was only said that her mission target was in the Imperial City, but she did not say who it was for or what she needed to do.

She felt that Su Lin was really tolerant.

I couldn't believe that he wasn't curious, but he could bear it and never asked her.

Su Lin said frankly, "I'm curious."

How could he not be curious? What he loved most was to join in the fun.

Bi Qiao clicked his tongue, "You're curious and you don't ask?"

Su Lin smiled and said, "Because I know you will say it sooner or later."

Just like now, I can't even hide my desire to share it immediately.

Bi Qiao rolled her eyes and then said, "She was picked up by an old lady in the village. She is actually the lost daughter of the Imperial City Marquis..."
