A Husband Who Traveled Through the Famine and Developed a Chronicle

He knew the meaning of Bai Xia's unfinished words.

If he stayed here, not only would he not be able to help, but he might even become a burden to her. He no longer hesitated, chose a direction, clamped his legs tightly on the horse's belly, whipped the horse, and the horse started to run.

When a horse runs through the grass, it will inevitably leave traces.

He ran for some distance, then detoured back to the road.

Although this is not an official road, there is a refugee team passing by, and all the traces have long been unsightly and messy. He doesn't have to worry that the officials will catch up, because the blood left by the two of them is so obvious that anyone with a discerning eye can see it. When the bloodstains extend towards the side of the road, they will only chase in the direction of the bloodstains.

After solving the fragile variable of Li Xiuyuan, Bai Xia let go of the horse and hid himself.

The horses of the official post are all trained, even if they are not tied up, they will not run around.

Ah Cheng and Qin Hu chased the blood all the way and galloped. Seeing that the blood in front of them disappeared and they turned into the grass on the side, Ah Cheng raised his hand to call for a stop, and the two stopped.

"The bloodstain is so obvious, it seems that someone deliberately led us in."

Looking at the messy footsteps and bloodstains beside the road, Ah Cheng muttered to himself.

Qin Hu listened to Ah Cheng's command all the way, now that he heard him say that, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to go back and report to the boss?"

Since someone intends to lure them in, there must be an ambush there. If something really happened to the fifth and seventh child, it would be a dead word for the two of them to go in.

Officials are also ordinary people, and they are also afraid of death.

Qin Hu has a dull temper, but he is not stupid. He doesn't want to do something that is clearly likely to kill him.

It's a pity that Ah Cheng didn't think so, he turned his head and glared at Qin Hu, scolding: "Why are you so timid, you have to report to the boss if you have any serious problems, since this person deliberately wants to lure us in, It means that he must be afraid of us, so he needs to set up a trap to ambush us, which also shows that his strength is not enough."

"Follow me closely, be careful not to step on the trap, our chance to do meritorious deeds has come," Ah Cheng said, when the pioneer drove the horse into the grass, sure enough, the blood was spreading inside.

After being scolded, Qin Hu flinched, but he didn't dare to leave Ah Cheng alone, so he could only bite the bullet and follow behind him.

Stepping down the horse's hooves slowly, Ah Cheng observed the ground and the surrounding environment, making sure that there were no traps, and then drove the horse forward.

The traces on the side of the road became more and more obvious, the dry grass was scattered all over the place, and the traces of fighting extended along the side of the road.

A large pool of blood mixed with dry grass appeared in front of the two of them.

A horse, with a loose rope, stood there snorting and whacking its tail from time to time.

"Old Seven's Horse"

Qin Hu exclaimed, and after Ah Cheng determined that there could be no trap here, he got off his horse and came to the bloodstain. There was a large pool of blood, all human blood.

With so much blood shed, it is almost impossible for a person to survive.

After carefully checking the surrounding traces, Ah Cheng reproduced the scene here at that time in his mind, and the protagonist of the scene in his mind was the fighting scene between Chen Wu and Bai Xia.

"Lao Qi is cautious, not skilled in martial arts, it is impossible to fight with people head-on"

"Old Wu is good at martial arts, and he is the most likely to make such a move by being fierce and fierce."

"So, the one who died here should be the fifth child."

Ah Cheng muttered to himself.

"Ah Cheng, look quickly"

Ah Cheng inspected the scene, and Qin Hu was not idle. He searched along the bloodstains, and finally found the slope on the left, and saw the bodies of Chen Wu and Chen Qi who were thrown under the slope.

Ah Cheng stepped forward quickly, and also saw the corpse below.

"Come on, let's go down"

The slope is a bit steep, but it can go down if the branches and grass roots are staggered.

The two went down the slope, and after a lot of effort, they came to the bodies of Chen Wu and Chen Qi.

Chen Wu's body was stripped of all his clothes, leaving only a pair of underpants, and Chen Qi's situation was similar to Chen Wu's.

Ah Cheng knelt down to examine the corpse.

"Everyone is killed with a single knife, and the blade is the saber of the Yamen"

"Everything is gone"

Ah Cheng frowned, his expression changed suddenly, and he asked Qin Hu, "Did the fifth one bring a bow and arrow when he left the team?"

Qin Hu has a dull temper, but he has a good memory. He nodded and said, "Yes, he brought a bow and arrow."

"not good"

Thinking of the smooth journey and not encountering any traps, Ah Cheng couldn't help but change his face, and pulled Qin Hu to leave.

At this moment, two sharp arrows galloped from the slope, wrapped in a hot wind, and nailed to the chests of Ah Cheng and Qin Hu respectively.

The location of the two arrows is tricky, both are the location of the heart.

Ah Cheng opened his mouth, only to find a small figure standing against the light on the slope. Although he couldn't make out his appearance, he was very similar to one of the two children they found when they came.

Until his death, he never thought that the fifth child, the seventh child, him and Qin Hu would die at the hands of a little baby.

Ah Cheng smiled wryly, he should listen to Qin Hu and report the matter to the boss first.

Don't be greedy for merit.

When he was thinking wildly, he saw the figure on the slope raised his arms again, and the two feathered arrows were wound and released, and they magnified bigger and bigger before his eyes.

"puff"

The sound of sharp knives piercing flesh rang in his ears, he could no longer feel the pain, his consciousness became more and more blurred, and finally he fell down unwillingly.

Bai Xia, who shot two arrows in a row, saw the official servants falling down the slope, so he didn't rush down, but took another bow and shot another two arrows, nailing the waists of the two official servants respectively.

Seeing that neither of them moved, she put away her bow and arrow, replaced it with a broadsword, and groped to the bottom of the slope.

The two official servants were already dead, so she stepped forward slowly, pulled out the arrows and wiped them dry, put them into the transformation pool, took their coats, and fumbled for the money bag.

These officials are all poor ghosts, and the four of them didn't even get a tael of silver.

Judging from their age, most of them are married people, maybe there are wives and children waiting for them to go back.

"sorry"

Bai Xia muttered, took out the hoe and began to dig a hole, the hard and hard land was not easy to dig, but she didn't give up, holding the hoe and digging again and again.

When you encounter a layer with stones underneath, take out the axe, use the thick part on the back to smash the stones, and pick them out bit by bit.

It took a lot of time to dig the hole.

Three meters long, two meters wide, and one meter deep.

For four people, it was a bit crowded, but it was enough.

Drag the bodies of several people into the pit, push the soil and bury them, leaving a huge mound in place.

It was past noon, and when she returned to the slope, the three horses gathered together, docilely eating the hay that was not stained with blood.

"good"

Bai Xia stroked the mane of one horse, got on the horse, rode one, and led the two horses back to the road.

Following the direction of Wu County, they walked for a mile or two, then followed the woods and returned to the place where they camped and rested the day before.

Li Xiuyuan also came back here. Hearing the sound of horseshoes, he hid vigilantly. He didn't want to be caught again.

So when Bai Xia arrived, all he saw was a single horse scattered on the spot, with some dark red blood clots still stained on the horse's mane.
