A Husband Who Traveled Through the Famine and Developed a Chronicle

Chapter 140 Crisis
Good guy, this was a double blockage above her head and at the door. Fortunately, she was prepared.

A broadsword suddenly appeared in Bai Xia's hand, which resisted the opponent's long sword. He hooked his feet behind the wooden door and rushed out into the darkness with the flexibility of a monkey.

People who practice martial arts have some ability to see at night, but they can only see roughly.

It was too dark and the man at the door couldn't see clearly Bai Xia's appearance. He could only vaguely see that he was a thin man.

The whole village of Lijia Village has moved away, and now a person suddenly appears. Even a fool knows there is something wrong. The two of them came here to investigate Li Jialin's life experience. When they saw this person, they were still hiding in the Li family ancestral hall. Even if it was not Li Jialin, The people in Jiacun also have some relationship with Lijiacun.

The two set up this plan.

Who told Bai Xia to hide quietly? The two of them searched for her for a long time, but they couldn't find her.

In the end, the two people discovered something unusual on the beams, but just to be cautious, they did not alert the enemy.

Because they suspected that Bai Xia was also a martial arts master, they pretended to talk about Li Jialin's affairs. They also said that they would rush to Wu County to steal household registration documents at night. They even went out to defraud her twice, but failed to defraud her.

This made the two of them even more convinced that this person was good at martial arts.

So he analyzed and speculated inch by inch, and finally succeeded in finding out where Bai Xia was hiding, and launched an attack.

But they didn't expect Bai Xia to be more vigilant than they thought. She discovered them almost as soon as they started to take action.

Now that Bai Xia had escaped, the two of them decided that she must know something, so they both chased her.

But on the other side, Baihu, who led a team to capture the refugees last time, once again led people to the arresting location. A little further forward, it was the location where the thousand refugees parted ways.

"Master, this is where we were separated from the other half."

"We walked towards Quanzhou, and they went up the mountain from this location."

Zhu Tufu stood at the position where they had separated, and pointed to Baihu in the direction they had gone, and then pointed to the direction Li Xiuyuan and the others had gone.

"By the way, after we separated, we didn't go far when we saw Miss Bai leading someone, walking towards us, but we don't know where she went."

I definitely didn’t go to Tushan anyway.

Because when going to Quanzhou, she would definitely pass through Tushan. If she had gone to Tushan, she would have been discovered by the garrison guarding Tushan.

"Do you know the relationship between those two little dolls?"

Baihu asked.

Butcher Zhu shook his head and replied: "I don't know, but everyone said that they should be siblings, but one is named Bai and the other is named Li."

"I have never seen these siblings with different surnames, so in the end everyone felt that they should be cousins."

Butcher Zhu talked about the original speculations of the refugees.

"So, if the boy named Li takes this road, the little girl named Bai will definitely join him?" Baihu looked at the mountain road and thought deeply.

It was just that it was completely dark now. Although there were almost no venomous snakes or beasts seen on the mountain after the drought, he still decided to be cautious before starting the journey after dawn.

Early the next morning, Baihu led his officers and soldiers up the mountain.

This summer is originally the season when vegetation grows luxuriantly. According to previous years, no one has set foot on this mountain trail for more than a month. It has long been covered by wildly growing vegetation. However, this year is a drought year, and the vegetation everywhere is withered, growing slowly, and even most of it is dead. In the ground.

There were more than 500 people in Li Xiuyuan's group, and the traces left by their footsteps were particularly obvious. Soon, the officers and soldiers followed the traces they walked to the place where they fought with the scouts.

They searched carefully and soon found the two dead scouts.

"Follow the traces and see where they went." Although the officers and soldiers were not official servants of the government, they were more disciplined. At first, Li Xiuyuan and the others did not deliberately cover up their traces. Soon, the officers and soldiers followed the traces and came to the foot of the mountain.

At this moment, the land under the mountain is already in Jiazhou.

"I have always heard that there is a lot of rain in Jiazhou. They are refugees fleeing the drought. I should have thought that they should have gone to Jiazhou."

Hundreds of households looked in the direction of Jiazhou with deep eyes.

They walked forward for a while and saw many refugee corpses.

"I remember that there seemed to be a Liuyun Village at the junction of Jiazhou and Ganzhou, which was occupied by a group of bandits?" Baihu asked.

The deputy behind him stood up and answered: "Exactly, when the general passed by here, he originally planned to suppress the bandits, but he was persuaded by the military advisor."

"How many people are there in that gang of bandits?"

"I heard there were 500 people"

"If that's the case, we can go and inquire to see if they have seen those refugees." The inquiry is false, but the robbery is true.

"Hundred households, those bandits are extremely vicious people and they are not easy to deal with. There are only a few of us, so I'm afraid we won't be able to take advantage," the deputy advised.

"You're just too careful. A bunch of rabble is so scary." Baihu sneered, completely ignoring the bandits.

This is also true. If Liu Yunzhai is still the same group of bandits, they may not be the opponents of the more than 200 officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain.

Being sent out by the King of Liang, they are already the most elite army. Even though they only have 200 people, they are well-trained and have mastered the military formation. They can defeat the bandits who are just playing around. Similar.

Of course, having said that, Baihu people are proud, but when they do things, they are not proud at all.

The people in Liu Yun Village are not scary, but the terrain of Liu Yun Village is special and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. They are afraid that they will step into a trap and lose their success.

He ordered people to go up the mountain to investigate, while the rest set up camp at the foot of the mountain.

The deputy did not stop him, simply because he knew that Baihu did this for everyone's benefit.

Because there was not much food and grass in the military camp, the general did not let them bring much food when they traveled. Now that they have been out for a few days, everyone has almost finished their dry food.

Apart from encountering dead refugee bodies along the way, he didn't find any food at all. Only then did he focus on the bandits in Liuyun Village.

It's just that their news is a little behind. They don't know that the bandits in Liuyun Village have been killed by Bai Xia and the others, or Bai Xia and the others have kept the news too tight. Since they went up the mountain, no one has come in contact with the people at the bottom of the mountain.

The only two contacts were when Bai Xia and Li Xiuyuan went down the mountain, taking only Shuanzi and Yu Dahai with them.

Another time, Wu Ziying led people down the mountain to look for clay, but she was the only one left in the team who died.

Later, although the guardsmen went down the mountain to move grain and dig clay, they did it behind the scenes. This also led to the fact that the news of the replacement of bandits on the mountain was not leaked at all.

The garrison scout took off his armor and put on a pair of coarse cloth. He smeared a lot of ashes on his face and did not cover it up. He carried a dry cloth bundle on his back and walked towards the mountain.

The further he walked, the more surprised he became, because after going up the mountain, the plants on the mountain actually saw a hint of green, and the scout couldn't help but feel excited.

Nowadays, droughts are severe everywhere, but the situation on this mountain is better, which means that these wandering bandits must have food.
