A Husband Who Traveled Through the Famine and Developed a Chronicle

Such a sound sounded in the darkness, and there was an inexplicable sense of eerie terror, but the boy seemed not to feel it and continued descending.

A bright light appeared in front of him, much brighter than the candlelight on both sides.

A wave of heat hit his face, and the boy subconsciously raised his fan to cover his face, paused, and waited until his body adapted to the heat wave before continuing forward.

There is a huge space in front of you. The stove is red with fire. Many shirtless people hold iron tongs in their hands, clamping the iron pieces and forging them. Those strange sounds are caused by these forging iron pieces. The voice came.

"Young master, are you here?"

As soon as the boy came out of the exit, a man about 40 years old came up to him.

He is slightly shorter than the boy and has a hunched body.

The young man glanced at the scene in front of him, nodded lightly, and the man led the way, leading him around the central blacksmithing furnace and into the warehouse at the rear.

"Sir, there are a total of 670 guns, 780 knives, [-] bows, and [-] arrows here."

The man counted the numbers from the book in his hand, and then presented the book to the boy.

The young man raised his hand to take it, looked at the record on it, and frowned.

"Why so much less?"

"This... food is not enough. Many mines have stopped supplying food. The mine slaves have no strength and there is not much to dig out."

"There is no food in the other states?"

He knew that it was a drought, there was no harvest this year, and all he was eating was the old grain from last year and previous years, but even so, it would not mean that he would not be able to produce any grain at all.

Thinking of the situation in Beijing and the progress here, the young man felt an inexplicable annoyance in his heart.

"There is no food surplus in the other states, and we have to guard against riots there."

"Okay, I see"

“Find a way to raise more food to send over.”

The young man was upset, so he didn't plan to stay any longer. He simply took a look and left.

When the shirtless blacksmiths saw the boy, they seemed not to notice him and continued to work on their own.

The young man left here quickly and walked along another passage. When he came out, he was in the Ganzhou government office.

"come"

As soon as he left the house, the young man shouted, and a man covered in black came out of the darkness and knelt in front of the young man.

"Let someone go to Beijing to investigate and see how long the rain will last in one and a half months. In addition to that rain, will there be rain?"

"Yes"

The man responded and retreated.

Bai Xia and the others were not aware of the boy's actions. They had just captured a group of officers and soldiers, and Li San'er and the others had brought a lot of refugees up. The intelligence team headed by Qishan also dispersed to inquire about the situation at the bottom of the mountain. .

This group of refugees, numbering in the hundreds, was resettled outside the village by Bai Xia and others. They built houses along the outer edge of the village and settled here.

Since there was still a lot of farm work to do, Bai Xia did not organize a women's army.

The life of Liu Yunzhai went on like this. One after another, more than 200 people came this time. The total population of Liu Yunzhai will soon exceed 1000.

At this time, Bai Xia called a halt and first trained these people who went up the mountain with peace of mind before deciding to expand the number of people.

Just like that, another half month passed.

The weather has been extremely sultry these days. Many people have suffered from heat stroke. The weather is very abnormal. Even the Tiger Army only trains in the morning and evening. It’s not that they can’t bear the hardship, but that the weather is really not too hot. normal.

“I’m afraid it’s going to rain.”

Wu Ziying, Bai Xia and Li Xiuyuan sat under the eaves, looking up at the sunless but sultry sky, Wu Ziying frowned and spoke.

Li Xiuyuan also looked at the sky, frowning. "If it rains, it rains. Isn't that a good thing?" Bai Xia was more optimistic than them. Even so, she changed her voice and said, "Are there enough medicinal materials in the village recently?"

Wu Ziying and Li Xiuyuan looked at her at the same time.

"I've been searching for a lot, but I don't know what's going on behind the scenes. I'm afraid it's not enough."

Li Xiuyuan replied, looking at her with bright eyes, knowing that she must have an arrangement for asking these questions.

"OK, I see"

Bai Xia nodded, and that night, he went to the warehouse, took out some more medicinal materials from the transformation pool, and piled a big pile.

Li Xiuyuan watched her movements from outside and pursed his lips.

"How did you come?"

Bai Xia couldn't help but be surprised when she saw him when she came out after putting things away.

Why are you guarding the warehouse if you don't sleep at night?
"Nothing, I just wanted to come to the warehouse to have a look."

"Okay, go back and rest soon"

Bai Xia nodded, ignored him, turned around and went back to the room.

Li Xiuyuan looked at her back and did not tell her that he had been flustered recently. He always felt that he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember it. He only remembered it when Bai Xia asked about the medicinal materials today.

It seems that in the previous life, after a heavy rain, a plague broke out in Ganzhou. Many people died in the plague. Of course, most of them were massacred by the imperial court.

Although there are many refugees displaced now, there are still many ordinary people in various counties.

The plague has spread throughout Ganzhou. If the entire Ganzhou is not wiped out, it will spread further. By then, the entire Great Xia will not be able to escape the baptism of the plague.

Li Xiuyuan was worried, but Bai Xia looked careless.

Finally, in the middle of the night, there was a roar in the sky. Unlike the previous times where there was only thunder but no rain, this time, the rain fell quickly.

The people in the village were very happy. It rained and their soybeans were ready to be harvested. They finally had food.

Although they never lacked food because of Bai Xia's existence, all food had to be bought with money and points. There was no such trouble when they grew their own food.

Many people were awakened by the thunderstorm.

This rain was like a hole in the sky, and it couldn't stop.

It rained heavily all night and for three days.

Fortunately, when Bai Xia asked them to cut down trees, they staggered the steps. Otherwise, Liu Yunzhai was located on a mountain and a natural disaster would inevitably occur.

Three days later, the weather gradually cleared up and the temperature became hotter than the previous few days.

"After heavy rain, there is a severe drought. I am afraid that all the corpses at the foot of the mountain are viruses."

Bai Xia murmured to himself, and then asked Li Xiuyuan to issue an order, ordering everyone in Liu Yun Village not to drink raw water, and to wash their hands before eating and after using the toilet. He also made cloth masks and asked them to wear them and press them obediently every day. If you do this, each person will be awarded ten points. If you don't, five points will be deducted.

In line with the principle of no deductions if you can earn points, everyone obeyed obediently. Although they didn't understand why the village leader issued such an order, but with points earned, who cares about the reason.

People from Qishan and other people who inquired about the information were even more secretive.

On the fourth day after the heavy rain stopped, Qishan came back from the mountain with a solemn expression.

"Zhai leader, someone down the mountain is sick. He has a fever, vomiting and diarrhea. He will be gone in two or three days."

"where is it?"

"Wei County"

"Many of us stayed outside Wei County to inquire about news. A refugee came from Ganzhou Prefecture two days ago. He had a high fever and knocked on the city gate to enter the city for treatment. The guard refused, so he left that night."
