A Husband Who Traveled Through the Famine and Developed a Chronicle

Chapter 61
Bai Xia's hair is messy, a little yellow, and dry. I don't see how she combs her hair at ordinary times, and she always tie it up casually.

Her hair had grown to waist length, and she was lying on the bed with her hair hanging down like a chicken coop.

Li Xiuyuan's height was just a little taller than the bed, standing in front of the bed, combing Bai Xia's hair just right, but he couldn't sit up.

He stretched out his hand trembling slightly, and slowly placed it on Bai Xia's hair. The dry hair felt like weeds, and Li Xiuyuan's eyes suddenly became sore, the redness on his face receded, and he pulled the comb Putting it into his arms, he ran his fingers along Bai Xia's hair bit by bit.

Bai Xia was lying on the bed, she was a little awake before, but fell asleep within 2 minutes.

She cut down the trees all afternoon, her hands were sore, she was full of food and it was time to feel sleepy, so she fell asleep in bed.

Under the firelight, she was lying on her back on the bed, her face cast irregular shadows as the firelight changed. Li Xiuyuan carefully separated the knotted hair, and then took the grate and began to comb the lice on her head, one by one. One by one, his movements were slow and gentle.

But when the lice are picked off, they are mercilessly strangled to death.

In the light of the fire, one person was lying down and the other was standing. Accompanied by the crackling sound of burning firewood and the faint sound of strangling lice from time to time, a beautiful picture was drawn.

Bai Xia slept fairly well this time. When she woke up, her hair had been braided. On the other side, Li Xiuyuan was sitting by the fire, writing something with a charcoal pencil in her hand. She was sitting on the bed look at him.

A small person with a sullen face, and her hair can be seen to be combed again, not as messy as hers.

Seeing that she was awake, he turned his head to look over.

"Go to bed, I'll keep watch"

Bai Xia turned over and got off the bed. She slept until the early morning, and Li Xiuyuan's body was still a child, so she had to rest well.

Li Xiuyuan was not hypocritical, seeing Bai Xia woke up, he climbed into bed and closed his eyes to sleep.

Bai Xia added firewood to the fire, then went to the side and started boxing and martial arts. She played a set of boxing techniques over and over again, and the food she ate at night was almost digested, so she stopped and ate some more. , took out the book and started writing a diary.

This night was spent while she practiced boxing and was in a daze.

Halfway through, when the fire was extinguished, I closed my eyes and squinted for a while, and when I opened them, I found that it was dawn.

The summer dawns early, and it looks like six o'clock when she wakes up.

The weather is not very hot at the moment, just suitable for traveling.

Bai Xia woke up Li Xiuyuan, and put away the bed again. The earthen jar filled with water had passed through the night, and the dirty water inside had evaporated with the air, and all he got was an earthenware jar that was full of sand.

But that's not a problem.

Bai Xia put the crock into the transformation pool, and when it was taken out, it was a new crock.

This was the fourth day since the refugees left Wu County. Calculated from the distance of sixty miles per day, they should have left Wu County today.

Bai Xia took out two steamed buns and half a catty of jerky, and ate them while walking with Li Xiuyuan.

There are many refugees, and there are many traces along the way. There are many forests here, and the grass on the ground has long since died due to drought.

It stands to reason that this kind of dense forest should be the place with the most snakes, insects, rats and ants, but unfortunately the two of them walked all the way and didn't meet them.

The two hurried on their way, drinking water when they were thirsty, and eating when they were hungry.

It would be nice to have a car instead.

In Baixia's transformation pool, he learned the cart from the refugees, but it was so heavy that he couldn't move it when he took it out.

She couldn't help but think of the fast horses that the officials rode. They were shiny, tall and strong, and they were good horses just by looking at them.

If I could get those horses over...

Bai Xia shook her head, breaking her unrealistic thoughts. She is not strong enough to snatch it.

But those horses are really greedy!

The thoughts she had just suppressed rose again because of the pain of the blisters on her feet.

As soon as he thought of the official post, he felt a vibration under his feet, accompanied by the sound of the neighing of the horse.

Oops!

Just as this thought slipped through Bai Xia's mind, two sharp arrows shot from behind suddenly, her face turned cold, she grabbed Li Xiu Yuan with one hand and rolled into the dry grass next to her.

"Huh?" The archery official made a surprised sound, looked at the two Bai Xia who got up from the grass and ran away, raised his hands to his companions and said: "You keep chasing forward, I will clean up these two little ones." thing"

After finishing speaking, he pulled the rein and chased in the direction of Bai Xia and the others.

The running speed of a person is no match for a horse, and one has to find a way to avoid the arrows of the officials behind him.

Severe pain came from the worn out soles of the feet. Bai Xia held Li Xiu Yuan's hand, not daring to turn her head, but in her ears, she could hear the chaotic sound of horse hoofs becoming clear and monotonous.

The arrogant guy actually chased after him alone.

A gleam of coldness and joy flashed across Bai Xia's eyes. Could it be that when he was drowsy, someone gave him a pillow, and when he was worried that he couldn't grab the horse, a fool came to his door.

A new arrow pierced Li Xiuyuan's cuff and tied it to the tree trunk next to him. If Bai Xia hadn't pulled him, this arrow could have pierced his chest.

His heart was pounding, and his feet were numb with pain.

Suddenly, Bai Xia threw him forward: "Run!"

Following his inertia, he ran a few steps forward, staggering, and was about to run away in a hurry, when the face of Sanya in his previous life before his death suddenly flashed in his mind, and his footsteps subconsciously stopped.

No, he couldn't leave her alone.

His face was pale, and he turned around and ran in Bai Xia's direction, but before he could take two steps, he was grabbed by a strong force, and Bai Xia's distraught voice came from his ear: "I tell you to run quickly, you are deaf ?"

The sound of horseshoes was already close to his ears, and he was interrupted by him so that he was directly chased by the officials.

Bai Xia protected Li Xiuyuan behind her, and looked warily at the official who was riding on the horse in front of her.

"Hey, these two little things can run quite well." This official was about twenty years old, with a scar on his left cheek, thick black eyebrows that were fierce, and wide palms covered with thick calluses.

At this moment, riding on the horse, looking down at Bai Xia and the two, as if seeing some amusing toy.

Bai Xia moved his feet and led Li Xiuyuan back slowly. At this distance, turning around and running would expose his back to the enemy.

With the hand behind her back, she took out the hatchet, kicked vigorously with the hatchet under her feet, and rushed towards the official in front of her.

"Tsk, overestimate one's strength." The officer sneered, retracted his bow and arrow, drew out the big knife on his waist, and slashed at Bai Xia.

It's now.

Bai Xia turned around halfway, grabbed Li Xiuyuan's hand, and ran forward.

The officer was caught off guard by her action, he was stunned for a while, and then he cursed angrily, "Cunning little bastard, can you escape?"

As he spoke, he put the knife back into its sheath, picked up the bow and arrow, drew out two feathered arrows and drew the bow to aim. As soon as he let go of his fingers, the two arrows quickly shot towards the two Bai Xia in front.
