A Husband Who Traveled Through the Famine and Developed a Chronicle

After eating three steamed buns in a row, Bai Xia's stomach was truly full, but Li Xiuyuan was still asleep, so he didn't know that Bai Xia ate behind his back.

While Li Xiuyuan was falling asleep, Bai Xia took out the comb and grate, and first used the comb to comb out the knotted hair bit by bit. A layer of mud and sand came down from the top of the hair. , she didn't comb her hair properly.

Of course, I haven't washed my face properly in the past two days.

Going to the county seat is not a short-term thing, and when I go back to the town, I am afraid of meeting those refugees, so I simply take advantage of this time to have a good time with myself and Li Xiuyuan.

She combed her hair slowly, then took the comb and began to clean the lice on her head.

In just half an hour, she didn't know how many lice were crushed to death, and there were still descendants of the lice.

It's just... very relaxing.

Especially when the lice were pressed to death, there was a slight "chi" sound, as if there was a kind of pleasure of revenge.

Li Xiuyuan woke up dazedly in this sound, and just opened his eyes, when he met a head of thick withered hair, his eyes widened, his lips trembled slightly, turned over and got up. Running, shouting while running: "Help, there is a ghost"

After running out of Bai Xia's temporary awning, the glaring and scorching sun shone on him, and he woke up.

It's broad daylight, where did the ghost come from?

Sure enough, he turned his head and met Bai Xia's sneering face.

"Three... Sanya, listen to my explanation"

"Okay, explain it"

Bai Xia stood up with disheveled hair, crossed her arms, and looked at him with a sneer.

Li Xiuyuan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He opened his mouth a few times, but he didn't utter a word.

Bai Xia approached him, sneered and said, "Why, can't you explain it?"

How dare you call her a ghost?
Where is she like a ghost?

Even if this Bai Sanya is not considered to be a great beauty, she is still a delicate and lovely little Jiabiyu. It's fine to pretend to be a ghost if she steals water at night, but in broad daylight, she doesn't look like a ghost at all.

Poor Bai Xia doesn't have a clear understanding of her current image.

His face was yellow and thin, his face was dirty, and his hair was hanging down like dry straw. Li Xiuyuan suddenly opened his eyes and saw it, and of course he was shocked.

It's just too late to recover now.

Bai Xia strode forward, grabbed his arm and dragged him back into the shed, took the hair tie from his hair, and combed it with a comb.

hiss.

It hurts.

Li Xiuyuan grinned in pain, but didn't dare to cry out.

The hair of both of them was very knotted, and their scalps were full of sand and lice. Bai Xia worked for another hour before combing all the lice off Li Xiuyuan's head, strangling them to death one by one, as well as the leftover lice Eggs, all the hair that can be pulled off is pulled off and wiped out. After the hair is almost cleaned up, it is tied into a ponytail with a hair tie, and then rolled into a ball.

"We'll go back to town when it's not so hot"

The clothes on the two of them were dirty, but they hadn't been washed, and Bai Xia didn't plan to change into clean clothes.

The body smells bad, and after changing out of clean clothes, it will also become dirty.

Li Xiuyuan pursed his lips and did not speak.

The little brow frowned a little worried.

Those refugees might still be in town.

The two tidied up, stuffed the torn cloth and branches into the back basket, and then walked towards the town with the back bag on their backs.
-
Ganzhou City, Governor's Mansion.

The carriage of the County Magistrate of Wu County stopped at the side door of the Governor Chen Ping’s mansion. The coachman helped the magistrate to get off the carriage. Lin Youshang has something to ask to see Lord Inspector, please let me know."

Hearing that the person who came was the magistrate of Wu County, the concierge did not dare to neglect.

"Please wait a moment, the villain will go in and give a message"

"Trouble"

Lin Youshang stood outside the door of Chen's mansion with an anxious expression on his face, wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve from time to time, and looking up at the weather, he became even more anxious.

Fortunately, the concierge came out quickly, and Lord Inspector Yan invited him in. He hurried all the way, led by the servants of the Chen Mansion, to the living room of the Chen Mansion. When he arrived, he did not see Lord Inspector Chen, but the servants Served the tea respectfully, then bowed and retreated.

It's just that he will get angry in a hurry, so anxious that he can't sit still, how can he drink tea.

Walking around in the hall, looking at the door from time to time.

Until there were slight footsteps outside the door, he couldn't help but quickly stepped forward, and knelt down in front of the person who stepped into the threshold with one foot.

"Master Inspector, you must save the officer!"

"Uh, Master Lin, you can't do it, you can't do it"

The man hurriedly moved away to let out the person behind him.

It turned out that the person walking in front was not the governor Chen Ping, but another strange boy.

Lin Youshang was embarrassed and annoyed for a moment, but the matter in his heart was more important. After he saw the person behind the young prince, he cried to Chen Ping again: "Lord Inspector, you must save the officer." ah"

Inspector Chen Ping subconsciously cast his eyes on the young man, but saw that he just touched his nose, smiled and said nothing.

He had no choice but to look at Lin Youshang and said, "Master Lin, get up first."

"How decent is it to cry like this?"

Several people took their seats in the hall, and when the servants brought the teacups, Chen Ping asked: "Lord Lin, what happened? Why do you need me to help you?"

Lin Youshang looked at the young master sitting beside him with hesitation.

"Don't worry, he is not an outsider, if there is anything, just say it"

Lin Youshang was at war with heaven and man in his heart, and finally he couldn't hold back anymore. He got up from his seat, knelt down with a plop, kowtowed his head and said, "Lord Inspector, there is a severe drought in Wu County, and all the farmland in the territory has no harvest this year. The food tax was levied in advance, but at the moment the people have no food, many people have poured into Wu County, and now more than a thousand people have gathered outside the county, if this continues, Wu County may be in danger."

Sweat dripped from Lin Youshang's forehead, and his voice trembled a little.

Thinking of the refugees I saw when I went out of the city, thousands of people gathered outside the county seat, their eyes were dull, or they were so red that they seemed to eat people.

Thanks to him ordering porridge from the rich households in the city, these people were temporarily stabilized, but if there was no food later, he could hardly imagine what would happen.

It's just that after he finished speaking, he saw that the faces of Chen Ping and the young man above didn't change a bit, as if they had known it a long time ago.

Seeing the doubts in his eyes, the young man couldn't help explaining kindly: "In the seven counties in Ganzhou, not only Wu County was affected by the disaster, but the other six counties also had no harvest due to the drought this year."

"Then... the grain tax and the young man?" Lin Youshang's eyes trembled slightly, and he couldn't help looking at Chen Ping.

Chen Ping lowered his eyes, and said righteously and solemnly: "It is the duty of the people to pay taxes and taxes. How can we slack off because of the drought?"

"Then can this matter be reported to the court?"

"A mere drought is nothing but a trivial matter, so why bother to report it"

Lin Youshang's heart trembled, and he said worriedly: "But if the court finds out, what should we do if we blame it?"
