"Lord Shangshu has an order, the situation has changed, and the ban will be lifted by two days." The little official explained to the officials stationed in Beixian, scratching his head and walking away while puzzled.

He suddenly had diarrhea and left for half an hour, why did Duan Shangshu not notify him of the lifting of the ban on passage after he came back? This is not the strangest, the strangest thing is that he also asked himself to hand over all the property and account books he received in the past few days to him, his eyes were blank, and he was muttering something to hand over to the emperor...

What to give to the emperor? You can't hand it over to the emperor, right? The little official gouged out his ears and blamed the auditory hallucinations of this sentence on his age, and the back of his ears was getting worse and worse.

This Duan Shangshu should want to hold all the account books by himself, and even half of the copy is not allowed to fall into the hands of others, which seems to be more suspicious than the previous Shangshu.

Since it has been delayed for another two days, is it now necessary to go back to Wenrou Township in Yuanxian County, or to go to Ning County to get a handful and then leave? As the little officer approached the carriage, he heard the low moan of the woman inside, rolled his eyes, and walked away in surprise.

Suddenly, the lifting of the ban was delayed, and the people in the county complained bitterly and complained.

But after crying and shouting, there was nothing to be done. The official is the official, the people are the people, and if the people want to fight with the official, it is to hit the stone with an egg.

Chi Jing, who walked in a hurry with her head down and was still dressed as a small official, had a full view of all the people's grievances, although she was ashamed, she had to do it - after surviving these two days, she would make amends to everyone!

Now the most important thing is to find out the damn source of the plague! There is only one and a half days left!

...

"Dad, didn't you say that you will take us out of here today and go to Yuanxian to seek refuge with your uncle?" The older of the two boys said, licking his chapped lips.

"Yes, Dad, didn't you say you would have something to eat today?" The smaller lips weren't as chapped as the one just now, but they kept swallowing.

They're so thirsty.

"Boss, don't worry, second child, dad will find a way." Seeing that there was no one around, the man tore off the cloth towel from his head to let his face breathe.

If there were people who witnessed the "ghost official errand" incident here that day, they would definitely be able to recognize this face - the innkeeper who pushed his youngest son into the water, discarded his third son, and disappeared with his eldest son and second son.

"Dad, do we still want to continue looking for the third brother?" The boss reluctantly glanced back at the road he had walked, and remembered the third brother who was closest to his mother.

"Dad, who kidnapped the third brother?" The third brother has always been spoiled by his mother to death, and he was kidnapped with a bowl of rice casually... The second child actually complains a little selfishly. That day, my father ran back to the shed in a panic, and left with one hand, saying that the third brother was abducted and left, and my father wanted to take them to catch up quickly, and he couldn't catch up if it was too late...

If it weren't for the stupidity of the third brother, how could they leave that greenhouse, sleep only under the bridge every night, and look for food everywhere during the day...

Dad always said that their children ate less, even if they found half a raw sweet potato, it all went into Dad's stomach...

He sometimes even thinks that Daddy took the two of them so that they could find him something to eat... He often wondered if he was the one who was abducted with a bowl of rice.

"Dad doesn't know..."The innkeeper remembered the embarrassment of stumbling out of the greenhouse that day, lost face, and gritted his teeth with hatred! He can't get along in Beixian anymore, all of this is to blame on this damn God, the damn "ghost official", the damn Ah Feng, the damn Ming'er...

...

The most damned thing is the masked woman who once stayed at the inn!

If he hadn't met her and listened to her nonsense, he wouldn't have suddenly been scared the moment he grabbed his youngest son, not only did he not hold his youngest son, but he also pushed his youngest son into the water...

If he would have died at that moment, as she said, then he is alive now, what does that mean? Between life and death, he finally realized that he was indeed a mortal man, but he could use his son to shield himself from death...

The loss of two sons - if this had been put in the past, he would have been in agony and weeping. However, from the moment he was in the water, he really felt that his original self was dead, and after pushing his son into the water, he was like being possessed by something, and he completely changed into a person...

What are two sons? Without two, he still has two left, that is, he still has two lives, what is he afraid of?

"Dad, I'm so hungry." The Boss tugged at his sleeve.

"Dad, I'm so hungry too." The second child is not far behind.

He came back to his senses and saw that it was his two sons, and after a trace of impatience quickly flashed in his eyes, he bent down and said gently: "Okay, okay, Dad will take you to find food, you are Daddy's heart and soul baby, and it is Daddy's life." ”

The eldest and the second looked at each other, Dad always put the phrase "You are Daddy's life" on his lips these days, and every time they heard this sentence, the two of them always felt a chill in their hearts.

Moreover, every time he said that he would take them to find food, he just took them to the wild and let them dig for something to eat...

...

But apart from the wild, there really isn't much food to be found anywhere else.

It was getting dark, and the two brothers were so exhausted that they didn't even dig up half of the sweet potato. Their father, who was sleeping and snoring under the banyan tree on the side, woke up from mosquito bites at this time, and found that they had not dug anything, and his face was full of displeasure.

"I've raised you so much, and now is the time for you to repay, now? That's how you repay me? ”

"Dad, we've been digging here since the morning, and we've been digging all over the place a long time ago, no." The boss said with a bitter face.

"Dad, you also come to help dig, it will be faster, it's going to be dark..."The second child also looked up and said.

"If you can't dig here, dig farther away! What a pig's head! When the innkeeper heard this, he was so angry that his nostrils smoked. If it weren't for seeing that these two boys were still a little useful, he would have sold them for a few taels of silver, so as not to do a lot of things all day long, and get rid of the burden!

After a few more curses, he lay back and turned over, not bothering to look at the two of them.

"Alas," the boss's stomach rumbled, and he touched his hungry stomach.

"Big brother, let's go dig up the tree." The second child is also dizzy with hunger, even if he doesn't dig it for his father, he has to dig it for himself.

"But there are so many graves over there, I'm afraid." The boss shook his head when he heard this, every time he saw the two new tombs over there, he always felt a cold wind gusting, and he was terrified.

"When we starve to death, we will be like the people in the grave! Useless waste! The second child scolded, smacked him like his father, and got up angrily and walked to the other side of the banyan tree.

As the boss, he was looked down upon by his younger brother like this, and he felt embarrassed for a while. Biting his lip, he stood up and followed in small steps.

"Second brother, wait for me!"
