Chapter 31 Unity
As the morning light appeared, people's faces were full of fatigue and they yawned continuously.
Lin Youcai patted his face with both hands and rubbed it, "Brother, I will drive the car, you take a rest."
“Aha~ OK…” Lin Youfu blinked his eyes, which were watery from his yawning, handed the whip in his hand to his fourth brother, and sat aside.
Old Man Lin stuck his head out to look at the sky. "Hold on. We only have about another hour to go and then we can rest."
Lin Zisu held the steering wheel with her left hand, took the wet towel handed to her by her mother with her right hand, and wiped her face hard to wake herself up.
In order to avoid falling asleep, I pinched my thighs until they were purple.
"Shu, when we stop to rest later, gather everyone together to discuss things." Lin Lizheng touched his face and looked at the sky outside the car which was gradually brightening.
"I understand, Dad." Lin Benshu opened the water bag, took a sip of water, and looked at the sky. It felt like the dawn came later today.
By the time everyone arrived, it was already bright day. Unlike the clear sky and bright sunshine some time ago, today was cloudy.
The gong sounded again, "The animals can't bear it anymore! Stop! It's time to rest!" Lin Benshu jumped off the ox cart and walked to the back of the team. "Let's gather first, sit together, discuss everything, and then go to sleep."
“Ding ding ding ding ding…” The sound of the gong faded away. Lin Zisu quickly stopped the car and rushed to the bathroom.
Everyone put down their luggage, drank water, and urinated. It took more than ten minutes for everyone to sit together.
"We were lucky last night because there was a dog in the team and the wolves discovered it early. Otherwise, it was pitch black and we wouldn't have known someone was dragged away." Lin Benshu stood in front of everyone and spoke for his father. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be the next village head.
"It was also thanks to the light last night that was as bright as day! It scared several wolves and made them run away! What was that light?" Butcher Zhao asked on behalf of everyone.
Everyone looked at Lin Youcai, who directly said what he had prepared, stood up and said, "That was a magical weapon given to me by a powerful Taoist priest."
Everyone looked surprised and started talking. Before they could ask a few more questions, Lin Benshu struck the gong, "There are many dangers along the way. All the men and young men in each family should form a patrol team..."
"Guard team..." Lin Youcai reminded in a low voice.
"Oh, yes, the escort team! It's not just patrolling day and night, the focus is on protection. Protecting everyone, protecting the luggage..." Lin Benshu paused, "If you have anything to say, you can stand up and say it!"
Lin Youcai was the first to stand up. "The power of one or two people is very weak! But if all of us unite together and work together, we will be a huge force! Walking on an unfamiliar road, with so many of us united, others will not dare to bully us easily. We will not be afraid when encountering problems, and we have the power to resist!"
Lin Youxiang stood up, "Yes!! We must unite!!"
Butcher Zhao immediately stood up and agreed, "Yes! We must unite!!"
Zhao Dazhuang saw his father stand up, and he stood up as well, shouting, "Yes! We must unite!!"
Old Man Lin's second brother, Lin Bentong, shouted, "The few wolves that followed the team last night were just the vanguards! The wolves must be watching from a distance! Why are the wolves watching from a distance? It's because we have more people, so these beasts don't dare to rush over easily!"
"Yes!!! Having the Taoist's magical instruments is one thing, but our unity in numbers is the greatest guarantee for everyone's safety along the way!" Lin Youcai quickly continued.
"Ding ding ding ding! Quiet! Quiet!" Lin Lizheng stood up and struck the gong. "Since we are all going to flee together, we must unite. Just like in the past in the village, when a village is united, other villages will not dare to bully our village. It's the same now while we are fleeing on the road! I've said this many times! If someone doesn't know what is good and what is bad, don't blame us for kicking him out of the team!"
Lin Benshu took the gong and said, "Now let's count the people and arrange the patrols. People from the same family will patrol separately, not in the same team, and will patrol in alternating groups."
There was a buzz of discussion below, so Lin Benshu quickly struck the gong, signaling for everyone to be quiet, "Ding ding ding!"
Lin Youcai stood up and said, "Fellow villagers, let me say a few words. Those of you who have many young and strong men should not feel that you are at a disadvantage. We are a whole. Even if a family has many young and strong men, it is not enough to fight off wolves, bandits and refugees. This does not mean that everyone should give us food. It means that those who have more people should do more to protect themselves, their families and their luggage. You help me, I help you, and only then can we go on this journey! My family has many young and strong men, and many teenagers. We will all join the escort team!"
"My family is willing too!"
"My family too!"
"me!"
Lin Benshu struck the gong, preparing to take a headcount. "Alright, ladies and children, go take care of your own business, and the men and women stay and divide into teams."
Lin Zisu and the old lady walked aside and whispered, "Earlier we said we were keeping the secret of the RV, and we only told half the truth to the Lin family. If we continue to escape, sooner or later everyone in the team will know that we have the secret treasure."
"That can't be helped. We will always encounter various dangers if we keep escaping! A living person can't be suffocated to death by urine! Compared with injuries and deaths, exposing some modern tools is insignificant! On the road of escape, even if other people have any ideas, they have to put them aside first. You can't have your cake and eat it too, you have to give up one." Shen Xianglan looked indifferent. If she settled down somewhere, she would definitely be afraid that the RV would be exposed. In this situation, exposing a few tools is nothing.
Lin Zisu nodded, "Indeed."
The sky was gray all day long. There was no sunlight, but the temperature was still high. It was so hot that people would sweat even if they lay still.
Every time we rest in the wild, we don't always find water sources. Today, we didn't find any water sources in the wild. Every family will try to carry as much water as possible on the road. Now everyone has water for drinking, but no water for washing. We can only hope that next time we rest, we can find water sources such as rivers and streams. Of course, it would be better if there is a well.
They were very tired and sweaty, but they spread their straw mats on the ground and still slept soundly.
Except for Lin Zisu, who slept for most of the day with the air conditioner on, she woke up with a rumbling stomach. After finishing her porridge, she asked her father to empty the ash water tank, but she always forgot to do so.
The gray water tank contains waste water from urine and washing, and the feces go to the wild land.
The team set out again, the temperature was much cooler in the morning and evening. Traveling at night was dangerous, and sleeping in the wild was equally dangerous.
"Huh?" Lin Zisu looked at the pattern displayed on the HUD.
The women in the car looked at her. Old Lady Wang asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Xianglan leaned over to look, but couldn't see anything even when she was tired. You have to sit in the driver's seat to see the image projected on the windshield.
A head-up display is a display device that projects the attitude guidance indicator of the main driving instruments and the main flight parameters onto the front of the pilot's helmet or windshield. This allows the pilot to see the main driving instruments and their important flight parameters while looking forward at the front view outside the aircraft. This was developed by military aircraft, which generally use helmet-mounted head-up displays to facilitate driving the aircraft while searching for targets. Civilian aircraft have also begun to adopt it, generally using a head-up display projected on the windshield, mainly for approach and landing.
The above content comes from Baidu. Later, the head-up display was also used in car driving, which is very practical.
