This thought lingered in the dice's mind, and Lin Ximiao's eyes were a little strange when he looked at him for a few days.

However, Lin Ximiao didn't care about these.

In order to settle the three families, she was so busy that she didn't even have time to look up.

Old man Tian was beautiful in the first half of his life, wandered in the second half of his life, and now he may lose his son in old age, and the whole person is just trying to hold on to his breath without swallowing.

Although Tian Xiaolang is a child, he also listens to the gossip of adults, crying and asking for his father.

There was no way, but Mrs. Lin hugged her and coaxed her.

The others didn't see the sun for a few days in a row, and they wilted one by one, and they didn't even like to talk.

Lin Ximiao has to arouse their motivation to live, as for those children, Lin Ximiao really has no strength to manage, so she can only entrust it to Lin Xuanhe first.

Lin Xuanhe has a way to study according to all the children, and all the children are struggling in the pain of learning for a while, forgetting the hardships of life.

I don't know how long I've been hiding, Chu Xiangmiao sent people up to check every day.

It was easy to hear that there was no sound, and everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Lin Ximiao took a few strong people and swept away the snow at the entrance of the cave, and it was already a mess outside.

In order to ensure safety, Lin Ximiao took the three families to hide for a while.

And Chu Xiangmiao led people to leave first.

By the time the three families came out of the cave, it was already early summer outside.

Everyone sighed, fortunately, Lin Ximiao was prescient,

The group returned to the place where they used to live, and due to the heavy snow, there were few houses that could be inhabited normally.

Everything in the past is like a passing cloud, leaving only a desolate land.

Fortunately, Chu Xiangmiao left someone behind, and before Lin Ximiao and the others could sigh too much, they saw a man in black coming from afar.

"Miss Lin, our lord is waiting for you at the bottom of the mountain."

Lin Ximiao didn't hesitate at all, and directly took the person in black to leave.

However, on the second day, Lin Ximiao and the others arrived at the bottom of the mountain, and all the way was full of desolation.

In the past, the Huancheng was still lively, but now it is indeed full of corpses, it is not difficult to imagine what the people under the mountain have experienced this winter.

Lin Ximiao and the others were speechless all the way, and were led forward by the man in black.

Lin Ximiao was so preoccupied that she didn't pay attention to the changes around her, but Old Man Tian walked up to her and lowered her voice: "Miss Lin, look around...... This, is this to the government? ”

Lin Ximiao raised her head and looked at the furnishings everywhere, which was the regulation of the prefect's mansion.

I couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately stopped.

"Big brother, can the ninth master say, who is here for us?" Lin Ximiao asked.

The man in black who led the way in front seemed to know their concerns, and he also stopped.

"Miss Lin, don't be suspicious, the master has explained, bring you three families here, in addition to the Lin family, there are also Tian Bai's two families, plus Chen Zishi and Chen Langjun."

The man in black said it clearly.

Lin Ximiao nodded slightly, although she didn't ask too much, she was still very vigilant in her heart.

She originally wanted to ask for news from the system, but when she thought of the style of the system thief dog, she still held back the words.

The three families were arranged in the backyard, but after a while, Chu Xiangmiao personally came forward and arranged accommodation for the three families.

Lin Ximiao was called to the front hall by name alone.

"Ninth Master, this is ......" Lin Ximiao asked.

Chu Xiangmiao leaned back in his chair, and there was no sadness or joy on his face: "The emperor has appointed me, and I am the prefect of Huancheng." ”

What!

Lin Ximiao's eyes widened suddenly.

Now that the people of Huancheng are struggling to make a living, at this time, let Chu Xiangmiao serve as the prefect of Huancheng, isn't this clearly asking for Chu Xiangmiao's life?

As long as it is not done well, the emperor can cut off Chu Xiangmiao's head without taking care of the bloodline of the Heavenly Family.

Looking at Lin Ximiao's surprised appearance, Chu Xiangmiao pinched his eyebrows.

"So, I need you to help me." Chu Xiangmiao said.

Lin Ximiao was silent for a while.

Chu Xiangmiao didn't seem to see her silence, and continued to speak.

"Now that the people are scattered, and the people are hungry, what is needed today is food."

"But the granary of Huancheng is an empty shell."

In the last three words, Chu Xiangmiao obviously tried his best to restrain his emotions.

He thought that Huancheng granary must be dissatisfied, but he didn't expect it to become an empty shell.

Lin Ximiao frowned slightly: "As far as I know, this year's levy is twice as much as in previous years." Even if there was no grain in stock before, the grain depot should not be empty. ”

"yes." Chu Xiangmiao leaned back in the chair, the corners of her lips slightly hooked.

"Huancheng levied twice, and the granary was empty. Jiangnan is pardoned and tax-free, but the granary is almost overflowing. Guess where all this grain has gone? ”

Listen to him laugh sarcastically.

Lin Ximiao fell silent.

"Barbarians go north, food shortages, natural disasters, and man-made disasters."

Chu Xiangmiao opened his eyes, and a pair of phoenix eyes were full of brilliance: "Lin Ximiao, are you still willing to follow this king?" ”

This is the first time he has called Lin Ximiao's full name.

Lin Ximiao suddenly realized that if she messed up this time, she was afraid that it would be her and Chu Xiangmiao's lives that would be smashed into it.

Lin Ximiao stood in place, and seemed to be able to hear the sound of snow falling.

She raised her head, her red lips provoking a good-looking smile: "Ninth Master, the Lin family is not a person who betrays the master, since he has followed, it will be a lifetime." ”

Chu Xiangmiao looked at Lin Ximiao, and the smile on his face grew.

"Step aside, tomorrow, and discuss big things together." Chu Xiangmiao said.

Lin Ximiao responded and retreated slowly.

Just as her figure disappeared, a figure spun out of the screen.

Jin Yukai held the wine jug in his hand and looked at Lin Ximiao's back: "Ninth Master, this woman has the qualifications of a queen." ”

Chu Xiangmiao was silent.

……

Lin Ximiao returned to the house and leaned on the bed, her mind in turmoil.

[Tong, you say, did I bet right? What if Chu Xiangmiao can't do it? I can't go back to the emperor, can I? 】

What she said in that room was sonorous and powerful, but in fact, she was also weak in her heart.

If it was her, she would naturally have no hesitation, but there is still the Lin family behind her......

Her decision can be the life and death of the Lin family.

[Only women and villains are difficult to raise. The system popped out a sentence in the middle of the night, quite a bit of gnashing of teeth.

Lin Ximiao had a black line for a while: [I said Tong, why do you have such a strong sense of justice? I just want to rebel, and it's not you who rebels, what are you afraid of? 】

The system fell silent for a while.

Lin Ximiao flipped over something and sighed: [You defend Chu Xiangmiao so much, I always thought that you were actually him, but it shouldn't be so bloody, right? He's an ancient man, and the ancients shouldn't have this kind of aura. 】

The system remained silent.

Lin Ximiao muttered to herself for a while, feeling bored, so she simply stopped talking.

[Let's get down to business, you can get corn seeds, but what about potato seeds?] I read time-traveling novels, as if the solution to the famine is the potato. 】
