A Husband Who Traveled Through the Famine and Developed a Chronicle

Chapter 139 Meeting in a narrow road

The two of them traveled for more than ten days and had no fodder to feed the horses. Their master asked them to keep a low profile all the way. Even if they died, their identities would not be exposed.

I searched all the way from Ganzhou Prefecture to Wuxian County. I didn't dare to alert the Wuxian County Magistrate, so I had to make secret visits and finally found Li Jialin's hometown.

As soon as they entered the village, they found a burnt house at the entrance of the village. They didn't pay attention. They walked into the village and searched it, but found no one.

"Go to the ancestral hall and have a look, maybe you can find clues."

One person said it, the other thought it made sense, and the two walked towards the ancestral hall.

In the ancestral hall, Bai Xia put out the big bed in his transformation pool, spread it with a straw mat, took out paper and pen, and practiced calligraphy in the ancestral hall.

Her calligraphy was very poor. When it fell on the paper, it looked like a big ball of ink stains. It was so dark that the words smeared into a ball.

This was because her hand was unsteady and she couldn't control the strength of the stroke. Sometimes it was heavy and sometimes it was light. When it was too heavy, the ink smeared out.

"This is too difficult."

Putting the scrapped paper into the transformation pool, Bai Xia scratched his scalp.

Keep writing patiently.

She had never written calligraphy in her previous life, and the characters of the Great Xia Dynasty are much more difficult than Chinese characters. Chinese characters can be written with five strokes. Here, fifteen strokes can be used, and each character looks like If she doesn't practice or write rare Chinese characters, the characters she learns today will be forgotten tomorrow.

She can now recognize thirty characters.

And this is the result of more than ten days of study.

Because many characters look similar, but they are two completely different characters.

After thinking about it, another piece of paper was declared scrapped. Bai Xia was a little glad that his transformation pool could no longer convert text. He threw the waste paper in and it soon turned into a clean piece of paper.

Just as the ink she was grinding was drying up, and she was about to pour some water and grind a little more, she suddenly heard a faint sound of footsteps.

someone is coming.

Bai Xia's action of preparing to grind the ink turned into collecting the ink into the transformation pool.

He also put his hand on the prepared bed, put the beds away, and looked at the empty ancestral hall. Except for the place where people could be hidden under the offering table, the entire ancestral hall could be seen at a glance, and the offering table was definitely not a good choice.

After thinking for a while, she hugged the big pillar in the ancestral hall and climbed up as nimbly as a monkey. She climbed to the beam and squatted down carefully, looking at the roof.

"Squeak~"

The door of the ancestral hall was opened from the outside. Bai Xia did not look down, but kept looking up at the roof, fearing that her gaze would attract the attention of the people below.

The footsteps were very light, different from the footsteps of ordinary people. The person coming was a martial arts master.

She took a little breath, almost non-stop, and listened to the movements in the ancestral hall with her ears raised.

The two men walked into the ancestral hall and immediately saw the bare altar table, with all the spiritual tablets on it missing. The front of the altar table was clean, with nothing except a layer of dust.

"Someone came"

When Bai Xia heard the people below talking, she lowered her eyes slightly. Her eyes did not fall directly on the people who came in. She just looked at them with her peripheral vision. Her eyes followed the direction in which the two people were facing, and she saw On the row of tables where the memorial tablets were placed, there was a small clean space, which was exactly where Li Jialin's memorial tablet had been placed.

Oops!

Bai Xia was secretly annoyed. Sure enough, she saw the two of them looking at the ancestral hall like searchlights, and found a clean spot on the ground, which was exactly where she had placed the bed.

A wise man will always make mistakes. Time is too tight and he forgot to disguise the scene.

“She must have just left not long ago”

"Don't worry about him. Let's search first and see if we can find the genealogy or family tree."

The two exchanged a few words briefly before rummaging through the entire ancestral hall.

I just looked around and found nothing.

"This should be the Li family ancestral hall, which honors all the dead people of the Li family." "Li Jialin died four years ago. He died of illness in a foreign land. Will the Li family let him enter the ancestral hall?"

There were whispers of conversation below, and Bai Xia kept maintaining the same posture as when she came up. Even if the two people below talked about Li Jialin, her breathing did not become disordered.

"There is no news from Lijia Village. It looks like we have to go back to Wu County again."

"What are you doing back in Wu County?"

"Stealing household registration documents"

"The master only said not to alert the government, but he didn't say not to steal the government's household registration documents."

"What you say makes sense."

"In addition to Lijia Village, the government will definitely have the household registration record of Lijia Village. Although Li Jialin was young when he died, I heard that he had already married a wife."

The two of them talked like no one else, but Bai Xia was more inclined to think that they were telling her.

After the two of them entered the house, they immediately noticed that someone had been there, and judged that she might not have left yet. She was deliberately talking, and was suspected of luring her out. She was hiding in the dark corner of the beam, with backlight, and her body was thin and thin. Although people searched the rafters, no trace of her was found.

Even so, the two of them did not give up their suspicions, and even tried to test them.

It's a pity that Bai Xia doesn't have any feelings for Li Jialin.

The reason why she returned to Lijiacun was just to find the people in Lijiacun and prevent them from being caught by the mastermind behind it.

Since the people in Lijiacun had left Lijiacun, she naturally had to leave too, but she didn't expect to meet these two people here.

She was a little embarrassed for a moment.

Should she go on to find the people in Lijiacun, or follow these two people.

The two people below had a conversation. Seeing that it was still quiet inside the ancestral hall, with no noise at all, they couldn't help but exchange looks.

"Eat something and let's go."

"I'm on my way now, it's not too hot"

The sun was setting outside, and it was getting dark. The two of them each took out a piece of dry food, gnawed it quickly, drank two mouthfuls of water, and then left the ancestral hall with their swords.

Seeing people leaving, Bai Xia didn't move.

After a while, the two came in again, looked up and looked around, shook their heads at each other, and then left again.

After another moment, Bai Xia still didn't move.

The two people walked in from the outside again. Seeing that there was still no change inside the ancestral hall, they both frowned. Could it be that the person was really gone?
But the traces were obviously new, indicating that the visitor had just arrived.

"Let's go, it seems we are really leaving."

One of them said, and then waved the other person away.

This time, they waited until dark, but neither of them came back.

Bai Xia didn't plan to go down, for fear of being caught, so she simply sat on the beam, intending to close her eyes and rest for a while, but as soon as she closed her eyes, they suddenly opened them.

wrong.

They didn't seem to be weak in martial arts, so why didn't they find her when they flew up to check the beams?

Thinking of this, she subconsciously turned over and hugged the pillar, hanging her whole body under the beam. The tip of a bright silver sword was pierced right where she was lying before. If she didn't dodge in time, it could stab her through.

How did they find her?

Bai Xia was a little confused, and she slid down the pillar nimbly, running towards the door of the ancestral hall with a swift movement.

As soon as the person arrived at the door, he was faced with a bright silver sword tip.
