A Husband Who Traveled Through the Famine and Developed a Chronicle

Drought is a great disaster.

The people have no food to eat and no water to drink. After a long time, there will be chaos.

When the court convicts him, as the magistrate of a county, he cannot escape the responsibility, and as the governor of a state, Chen Ping cannot escape the responsibility.

He really didn't know why he wasn't in a hurry at all.

"Lord Lin, don't worry"

"The imperial court is very busy now, but it can't control the small drought in Ganzhou"

Chen Ping still didn't speak, it was the young man who spoke.

Lin Youshang looked up subconsciously. The young man was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with red lips and white teeth. He was wearing an ice silk brocade newly produced in the south this summer.

Moreover, this young man is personable and has an extraordinary temperament. He knows everything about the drought in Ganzhou in every word and deed.

"I haven't asked who this son is?"

Lin Youshang was polite, and he could tell that the young man was of extraordinary status just from his clothes, so he didn't dare to offend him for a while.

"Lord Lin doesn't need to know who he is"

"It's just refugees. Could it be that all the government servants in your Wu county are free-living?"

It was the governor, Chen Ping, who took the words.

"What do you mean, sir?"

Lin Youshang's complexion changed slightly, and he forcibly drove out the refugees, fearing that it would cause riots among the people.

Chen Ping didn't speak, but only gave Lin Youshang a look. Lin Youshang hurriedly lowered his head and said hesitantly, "But if that's the case..."

Under Chen Ping's eyes, he slowly stopped speaking, and finally all the words were unified into one sentence: "Yes"

After leaving Chen's mansion and sitting in the carriage, Lin Youshang looked worried.

"This is going to be a mess"

He muttered to himself.

On the other side, Bai Xia and Li Xiuyuan finally found out the way to the county seat.

Take out some twigs and burn them, wrap some cloth strips around the burnt charcoal, and a simple pen is ready. When walking on the road, Bai Xia will consciously record the route. At night, the two of them will I found a place on the side of the road and lit a fire to rest.

"Sanya, sleep"

Li Xiuyuan sat on the ground, calling Bai Xia to rest quickly.

It is dry during the day, but the ground is still humid at night. Resting in the open air is a last resort, so the fire must be lit. They were afraid that the fire would go out and they would fall ill when they slept on the ground at night, so they had to keep one of them to watch the night.

"Go to sleep, I'll keep watch"

Not only fire, but also guard against meeting people.

Although it is unlikely, but if they do meet, the two of them will sleep like pigs, and they don't know what's going on.

Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, and then looked around. Although the moon was hanging high in the sky, except for where their fire was, it was still pitch black. Especially because the light of the fire was brighter than the surrounding area, it seemed even darker. .

In the darkness, there seems to be an unknown monster hiding, wanting to choose people and devour them.

"What do you think?"

Bai Xia pressed his head with one hand and rubbed it vigorously.

"Are we going to have to sleep outside every day?"

Li Xiuyuan looked at Bai Xia.

Bai Xia nodded.

"As long as you don't find a place to stay, that's the only way to go."

Li Xiuyuan frowned.

The memory in the dream became a little fuzzy, but he was sure that he didn't stay in the wild at that time. There were more people at that time, and it was precisely because of this that Sanya finally...

He gritted his teeth, didn't say anything, but planned to sleep for a while, and woke up to replace Sanya's vigil.

Otherwise, rushing on the road during the day and keeping watch at night, even a body made of iron will not be able to bear it.

Besides, she was just a child.

Bai Xia didn't know these thoughts in Li Xiuyuan's heart.

After he fell asleep, he took out a book, took a charcoal pencil to write and draw on the blank pages, and drew a simple map according to the road he had traveled for a while.

After finishing writing, she took out the jerky and ate the white rice.

After eating, I started to practice martial arts.

The night passed quickly, and Li Xiuyuan woke up dazedly, the sky was already bright.

He froze for a moment, then slapped himself on the face.

Let you sleep, how can you sleep like this?

"Three ya, three ya"

Li Xiuyuan was a little anxious when Bai Xia was not there. Just as he yelled twice, he saw Bai Xia coming from a distance with a basket on his back.

"Are you awake?"

"Hmm." Li Xiuyuan was depressed.

"Eat something first, let's continue on our way after eating." Bai Xia took out two bowls of rice from the basket, and took out some jerky as well.

Holding the rice, Li Xiuyuan, who had been hungry for a long time, immediately ate it with big mouthfuls. The hard jerky was served with rice. This is a life that many people can't even imagine at the moment.

The only fly in the ointment is that there are no side dishes and not enough water.

"I looked around and there was a stream, but it was dry."

"Now the water source is getting less and less, and the weather is too hot during the day, so I decided to hurry at night"

"I'll sleep in a while, you practice calligraphy with a charcoal pencil, pay attention to see if anyone is coming, if you find someone, wake me up in time"

"You sleep at night, I will carry you on my back"

This is the best way Bai Xia figured out.

As long as her and Li Xiuyuan's rest time is staggered, then she can do a lot of things. She doesn't sleep all the time during the day, she can practice martial arts before going to bed, and save money at night. If there is a village, If there are people inside, she can sell rice.

"No, don't carry it, I can walk by myself"

How could Li Xiuyuan agree to let Bai Xia carry him on her back? She was not much older than him, and she didn't know how tired she would be after walking all the way with him on her back.

"Okay, it's decided"

Bai Xia doesn't care what he thinks.

In the past two days, there was enough food, and her progress in martial arts training was much faster, and her strength was also much stronger.

Just memorizing Li Xiuyuan, there is no problem at all.

This kid is not even forty catties, how much can he weigh?

In this way, the two of Bai Xia rested during the day and hurried on the road at night. They didn't take the official road, so they rarely encountered people along the way. Sometimes when they saw a village, Bai Xia would also go into the village to have a look. But it is a pity that the situation in these villages is even worse than that of Lijia Village. There is no one in it. The only good thing is that there are quite a few guys left in the village. go.

Tonight, Bai Xia and Li Xiuyuan stopped in a village called Baijia Village.

"Reached?"

Li Xiuyuan rubbed his eyes in the back basket, and looked at Bai Xia.

Bai Xia shook her head.

"Baijia Village should not be far from the county seat. Let's not hurry tonight and take a good rest here."

"Finally no need to sleep outside?"

"Yes"

What Bai Xia was looking for was a relatively remote family in the village. This family should have moved out, and all the small things in the house were cleaned up, except for some big, inconvenient things that were left behind. in the house.

Bai Xia looked at the wooden bed in this family's house, resting his chin on his palm and meditating.

She wants to take this bed with her.
