A Husband Who Traveled Through the Famine and Developed a Chronicle

Chapter 67
After Bai Xia ate the third steamed bun, and the water in the bamboo tube had bottomed out, her stomach was finally a little full, but if she still wanted to eat, she could still eat it.

Considering that overeating is bad for her health, she gave up the idea of ​​eating another steamed bun.

Put the empty bamboo tube into the transformation pool, looked at Li Xiuyuan who had only eaten half a steamed bun, and asked, "Aren't you hungry?"

Hungry, of course he was hungry, but he couldn't eat when he thought that there were still a few officials on the job.

Li Xiuyuan was in a hurry to get angry, and his clean face was as tender as an egg. Unfortunately, the egg was a bit dark.

Basking in the sun every day, it is no wonder that I get tanned.

"I can't eat it," he exhaled, depressed.

"Did I drag you down?" He said sullenly.

Know and ask?

What nonsense are you talking about?

Bai Xia rolled her eyes in her heart, but saw that on the other side of the transformation pool, it was marked with the words "Guardian", put away her complaints in her heart, and comforted with an insincere smile: "Don't even think about it." There are so many, I will take care of those official orders, eat quickly, and you will have strength when you are full."

Maybe it was Bai Xia's words that you have strength only when you are full, so Li Xiuyuan took the steamed buns and started eating.

The two of Bai Xia lost too much time, and the refugee team finally arrived at the border of Wu County at the end of the afternoon, that is, around three o'clock in the afternoon.

Wang Xiucai raised his hand to stop everyone's movements. Looking at the "Chengxian" boundary marker standing in front of him, he didn't move for a long time.

"Scholar, do we really want to leave?" a refugee asked.

One step away, but their identities are very different. When they reach the border, the voices of flinching can't help but appear among the refugees.

Turning his head to look at the official team following closely behind the team, they carried bows and arrows and looked at them from a distance. Today, they have traveled 59 miles, and they are only one mile away from the [-] miles stipulated by the county magistrate.

But this mile is more difficult than the previous 59 miles.

"Let everyone rest in place for half an hour." Wang Xiucai made a decision, and the refugee team stopped to rest on the spot.

The official followed behind on horseback. Seeing that the refugees were about to step out of Wu County, they stopped at the same spot, and couldn't help cursing: "These untouchables are reluctant to take a few steps. They are lazy like pigs." Same"

"It caused our brothers to accompany us to bask in the sun, it's not a person"

The officials followed the refugees for a day's journey. Although they didn't have to walk on their feet, they rode a horse for a day, and their buttocks and thighs were also very uncomfortable.

Now that they can complete the tasks assigned by the above, these people have stopped again, so they have to wait here.

Several officials were full of complaints and dared not leave.

I complained a few times in private, but seeing that Li San'er didn't speak, someone couldn't help asking for instructions: "Boss, do we really have to stay here? Why don't you brothers find a sheltered place and rest for a while?"

Li San'er was thinking about something, when he heard the people below asking for instructions, he nodded in agreement.

It is true that the sun is basking in the sun, and the big guys are going to be roasted.

Tasks are important, but people are also of utmost importance.

He took out the water bag and took a sip of water. He wanted to drink more, but he only drank an empty one. The water bag filled in the morning had been drained by now.

Soon, all the officials found a sheltered place, and they could see the movement of the refugee team, so they invited Li San'er over, and someone took out the dry food they brought and distributed it.

When it was sent to Li San'er, Li San'er just reached out to take it, and couldn't help but ask, "A Cheng and Qin Hu haven't come back yet?"

The dry food delivered by the officials stopped, looked at each other, shook their heads and said, "They haven't been back since we parted in the morning."

Li San'er held the dry food, leaned his elbows on his thighs, and frowned tightly.

"I'm afraid something happened"

He muttered in a low voice, and the officials he heard didn't ask much, but they also had a bad premonition in their hearts.

The road behind was walked by them all the way, and they didn't encounter any danger along the way. The only accident was that they met two children who didn't follow the order of the county magistrate in the morning.

It was these two dolls that Lao Wu chased after them.

Later, Lao Qi also went.

As a result, the two disappeared as soon as they left.

They sent Ah Cheng and Qin Hu back to find someone, but there was no news.

"Boss, do you want to send someone to the front to ask?" An official pouted and gestured to the refugee team that had stopped.

This road is the road map issued by the government. Apart from this team, it is unlikely that other teams will appear. Those two children appeared strangely, maybe they were the bait left by these people.

Li San'er shook his head and said, "They don't have that much courage yet."

Moreover, he took advantage of the effort of following behind in the afternoon to count the heads, which matched the number of heads when he left, basically no less.

"Hurry up and eat, everyone. After eating, wait for these refugees to leave Wu County, and then we will go back to the county government office." Li San'er took a big bite of dry food, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

"Aren't we looking for Ah Cheng and Qin Hu?" an official asked.

Li San'er shook his head: "Go back to the county government and bring more people to look for."

He is a cautious person, he didn't know who was behind the two little dolls before, so he went to look for it rashly, he was afraid that he would get all of himself involved.

Li San'er believed in her intuition.

Although Wang Xiucai really wanted to delay for a while, he had to go for the next mile anyway. After half an hour, the refugee team still set off.

Wang Xiucai walked in the front, and Yu Dazhuang followed him. Without a bow and arrow, he had to fasten a branch as a weapon, and followed Wang Xiucai like a bodyguard.

Stepping into the territory of Cheng County also means that this team has completely become refugees.

The refugees were preoccupied, and they lined up one by one, and it took another half an hour before they all left Wu County.

"Boss?" Finally completed the task assigned by the county magistrate, the officials couldn't help looking at Li San'er.

"Go, go back" should have continued to follow the refugee team, but the disappearance of Chen Wu, Chen Qi, Ah Cheng and Qin Hu made Li San'er feel uneasy, and decided to go back to rescue the soldiers.

When they went back, they didn't know that the trap carefully arranged by Bai Xia and Li Xiuyuan was waiting for them.

It was also thanks to the refugees who held up the official mission that Bai Xia and the others had time to make arrangements.

Li San'er galloped all the way with the official messenger. As dusk approached, the sun went down a little. Although the sun was still warm, it was much better than at noon.

It gets dark late in summer, so I can see the way back now.

"Boss, there's blood"

Suddenly, an officer screamed, and a pool of blood was left in the middle of the road, which was very eye-catching.

Li San'er turned over and got off the horse, squatted down to check, and his complexion suddenly sank.

When I looked up, I saw that there were also dots of blood stains on the way back, looming under the cover of dust.

"Don't worry about this, let's go back to the county office"

Such obvious traces are a trap at first glance, of course Li San'er cannot be fooled.

Regardless of the bloodstains along the way, he led the team and ran towards Wu County.

Everything went well ahead, even after meeting the two children in the morning, nothing happened, and the officials couldn't help but feel relieved.

Just after walking another mile, sharp arrows suddenly shot out from the woods on both sides.
