A Husband Who Traveled Through the Famine and Developed a Chronicle

Chapter 27
For Li Xiuyuan, Bai Xia was very relieved.

After all, the two of them have been hiding on the mountain for the past few days, and he has shown a maturity and understanding that is different from ordinary children.

Let him stay in the cave and stay in the cave, and there has never been anything wrong, so she is relieved to hide him in Lin's natal family this time.

And even if he was discovered, it would be great to be kicked out by Lin Cuilan and old man Lin, or worse, he would be arrested and sold.

Never lose your life.

She walked on tiptoe in the village, wondering if it was because everyone was short of food, usually the dogs kept in the village were beaten and eaten, but Bai Xia walked in the dark for so long without hearing a dog barking.

In troubled times, human life is cheap, let alone dog life.

She was careful, for fear of waking someone up if she stepped on something, and soon she came to the first well.

She poked her head to look inside.

It was dark, and I couldn't see anything. I subconsciously remembered a movie I had seen in my mind. At that time, the ghost in it crawled out of the well.

The more Bai Xia thought about it, the more frightened she felt.

She is a staunch materialist.

She is not afraid of ghosts.

She was thinking in her heart, but slowly lowered the bucket by the well, and at the same time listened to the movement in the well.

The bucket descended slowly until it finally hit the ground, and she shook the rope.

empty.

no water.

Bai Xia was not discouraged, and walked towards another well.

Before arriving at the location, Bai Xia saw two tall men leaning against the thatched shed next to the well and sleeping soundly. Seeing this situation, she didn't need to go to see her to know that there must be water in the well. .

Bai Xia licked her lips, as if she could imagine how sweet the well water inside was.

She stepped forward quietly, looked at the two sleeping men, and looked at the well.

If they don't get water, the two people will never wake up, even if they just empty the bucket, it won't wake them up, but if they want to bring water up, they will inevitably shake the wheel, and the sound of the wheel rolling the rope will definitely wake them up. wake up.

Bai Xia frowned.

Time to perform real techniques.

She stepped forward and lowered the bucket slowly until the rope was exhausted. Then she turned over and rode on the mouth of the well, and touched the wall of the well. Sure enough, due to the humid environment, the inside of the well wall was covered with moss, which was not suitable for footing. .

She found some small stones to fix the wheel, so that she would not make a sound due to shaking when she went down for a while.

After finishing it, he took out a thin piece of clothing and wrapped it around his left hand. Then he carefully rolled into the well while holding the rope, holding the rope with his left hand and his left hand with his right hand, and slowly slid down towards the bottom of the well.

This well was drilled deeper than the previous one, and there was still quite a lot of water in it.

Bai Xia slowly fell to the bottom, suspended above the well water, wrapped the rope around her waist, still holding the rope with her left hand, and picked up the bamboo tube with her other hand, bit the stopper with her teeth, and slowly It sank into the water until the water was full, Bai Xia directly picked it up and brought it to his mouth, and drank it carefully.

happy.

She was dying of thirst during this time.

After drinking water, she filled the bamboo tube again.

Then I took out several bamboo tubes and filled them with water.

If she wasn't worried that she wouldn't be able to take it with her, she wished she could drain the well.

In the end, she only filled six bamboo tubes and didn't dare to put any more.

After putting on six, her movements were already a little inconvenient. She forced herself to get up from the well, but she met a pair of copper bell-like eyes just as she came out.

She made eye contact with each other, then made a grimace, stuck out her tongue and stared.

There was a jerky laugh in his mouth, and he asked, "Young student, do you think I'm beautiful?"

She had fled for several days, and she had a stench all over her body, her hair was disheveled, and her hands and face were all dark because she went back to the fire scene to rummage through. They squeezed together, and the sound they made was the coquettishness of an adult woman again.

The man was awakened by the movement at the bottom of the well, and seeing her crawling out of the bottom of the well at this moment, he was frightened and shouted: "Mother, there is a ghost!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored it and ran towards his home.

And his voice woke up another man, just turned over and sat up from the straw shed, when he met Bai Xia who crawled out of the well.

Bai Xia repeated his old tricks, made a grimace, and smiled softly at the other party: "Young student, am I beautiful?"

Are you beautiful or not? Don’t you have a point in your heart?
The man had just woken up from his dream when he saw this scene, rolled his eyes and fell down again.

And Bai Xia quickly got out of the well and ran towards Lin's natal house.

Fortunately, I touched the road when I came here, and this trip back will be much smoother.

The man's voice was not low, and soon woke up everyone in the village.

If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you won't believe what he said about ghosts.

Every family got up from the house, and the young and strong came to the well with farm tools and sticks.

After arriving at the place, they saw another man passed out, and everyone felt a little bit in their hearts. Could it be that they were killed by ghosts?

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help retreating.

"Village chief, I'm not lying, there really are ghosts"

"The ghost crawled out of the well"

"She also asked me if she was beautiful"

The man who met Bai Xia first was quite frightened, but he was better than the other one, at least he didn't pass out.

But after the village chief heard what he said, he just ordered people to look at the sleeping one in the shed first, and after making sure that the person just passed out, he came to the well, grabbed the rope and lifted the bucket out of it. .

Everyone lit a torch and lit the well brightly, only to see that the slightly old rope was stained with a lot of black ash.

"I'll beat you to death, old man, I've lived for decades, and I've never seen what a ghost looks like?"

"Let me take a closer look, is your ghost still covered in dust?"

"It's clear that I met a water thief"

The village chief was so angry that he never expected that these two guys were useless. One thought that a ghost had escaped, and the other was fainted from fright, and let the thief who stole the water run away for nothing.

The man didn't believe it when he heard the words, but after taking the rope handed over by the village chief, he realized that he had misread it.

What kind of female ghost is that? It's clearly a thief who stole water. Thinking that she was so frightened that she woke up the whole village, her face turned green and pale.

At this time, Bai Xia had already run back to Lin's mother's house. After hearing the noise, old man Lin and his sons all took the guys and rushed to the well, which happened to be convenient for Bai Xia.

She first put the watered bamboo tube outside the courtyard wall, then she climbed over the wall and went in, found where Li Xiuyuan was hiding, and led him back out again.

After filling the water, the two of them took no time to talk, and walked towards the town with the six bamboo tubes filled with water.

After leaving Lin's Village, Bai Xia stopped immediately.

"Brother Yuan, drink water quickly." She took a bamboo tube and handed it to Li Xiuyuan. He hadn't drank water for a long time, so he poured it into his mouth regardless of whether the water had been boiled.
