After eating three steamed buns in a row, Bai Xia's stomach was really full, and Li Xiuyuan was still asleep, not knowing that Bai Xia was eating behind his back.

While Li Xiuyuan was asleep, Bai Xia took out a comb and a grate, and first used the comb to comb the knotted hair little by little, and a layer of mud and sand-like things combed off the hair, since she went up the mountain, she had not combed her hair properly.

Of course, I haven't washed my face properly in the past two days.

Going to the county seat is not a matter of a while, and when I returned to the town, I was afraid of meeting those refugees, so I simply took advantage of this time to turn myself and Li Xiuyuan upside down.

She slowly smoothed her hair, then took the grate and began to clean her head of lice.

In just half an hour, she didn't know how many lice had been killed, and there were also offspring of lice.

Only...... Very decompressing.

In particular, when the lice were killed, there was a slight "snort", as if there was a sense of revenge.

Li Xiuyuan woke up in a daze at this voice, as soon as he opened his eyes, he faced a thick hair with a little yellow, his eyes widened, his lips trembled slightly, he turned over and got up and ran, shouting while running: "Help, there are ghosts"

Running out of Bai Xia's makeshift awning, the dazzling and hot sun shone on him, and he came to his senses.

Where did the ghost come from in broad daylight?

Sure enough, he turned his head to Bai Xia's sneering face.

"Three...... Sanya, listen to my explanation."

"Okay, you explain"

Bai Xia stood up with his head scattered, his hands around his chest, and looked at him with a sneer.

Li Xiuyuan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and his mouth opened a few times, but he didn't spit out a word.

Bai Xia approached him and sneered, "What, can't you explain it?" ”

How dare you say she's a ghost?

Where did she look like a ghost?

Even if this Bai Sanya doesn't look like a big beauty who captivates the country and the city, it can be regarded as a delicate and lovely little jasper, and she has to pretend to be a ghost when she steals water at night, so in broad daylight, where does she look like a ghost.

Poor Bai Xia doesn't have a clear understanding of his current image.

With a yellow, hungry face, a dirty face, and a hair hanging down like dry straw, Li Xiuyuan suddenly opened his eyes and saw it, of course he was startled.

It's just that it's too late to redeem it now.

I saw Bai Xia step forward with an arrow, grabbed his arm and grabbed the person back to the shed, took the strap on his hair, and combed it with a comb.

Hiss.

It hurts.

Li Xiuyuan grinned in pain, but he didn't dare to exhale.

The hair knots of the two were very serious, and the scalp was full of wind and sand and lice, Bai Xia was busy for another hour before he grated all the lice on Li Xiuyuan's head, strangled them to death one by one, and those leftover lice eggs, everything that could be pulled off was pulled down and eliminated, and when the hair was almost cleaned up, he took the hairband and tied it into a ponytail, and then formed a ball.

"When it's not so hot in a while, we'll go back to town"

The clothes on the two of them were very dirty, but they were not washed, and Bai Xia had no intention of changing into clean clothes.

The body is smelly, and after changing clean clothes, it will also become dirty.

Li Xiuyuan pursed his lips and did not speak.

A small brow furrowed a little worried.

Those refugees may still be in town.

The two of them cleaned up, stuffed the torn cloth and branches into the basket, and walked towards the town with the basket on their backs.

Ganzhou City, Thorn History.

The carriage of the county order of Wu County stopped at the side door of Chen Ping's mansion of the assassin history, and I saw the coachman helping the county order to get out of the carriage, the county order waved his hand, and he came to the gatehouse with the worship post, handed over the worship post and said: "Wu County County Commander Lin has something important to ask to see Lord Assassin Shi, please inform me."

Hearing that the person who came was the county order of Wu County, the porter did not dare to slack off.

"Please wait, the villain will go in and pass the word"

"Tired"

Lin Youshang stood outside the door of the Chen Mansion with an anxious face, wiping the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve from time to time, looking up at the weather, and being even more anxious.

Fortunately, the porter came out soon, and Lord Yan Assassin invited him in, he hurriedly walked all the way, and under the leadership of the servants of the Chen Mansion, he came to the meeting room of the Chen Mansion, and when he arrived at the place, he did not see Lord Chen, but the servants respectfully served tea, and then bowed down.

It's just that he will be in a hurry, so anxious that he can't sit still, where can he still drink tea.

Walking up and down the hall, looking at the door from time to time.

Until the faint sound of footsteps outside the door, he couldn't help but step forward and kneel down at the man who had stepped into the threshold with one foot.

"Lord Assassin Shi, you must save the lower official"

"Uh, Lord Lin, I can't do it, I can't do it."

The man hurriedly moved away and let go of the people behind him.

It turned out that the person who walked in front was not Chen Ping, but another strange young man.

Lin Youshang was embarrassed and annoyed for a moment, but the matter in his heart was more important, and he saw that after he saw the person behind the young man, he cried and begged Chen Ping again: "Master Assassin Shi, you must save the lower official."

Thorn Shi Chen Ping subconsciously set his eyes on the young man, but saw that he just touched his nose and smiled without saying a word.

He had no choice but to look at Lin Youshang and said, "Lord Lin, get up first."

"What kind of body is it to cry like this?"

A few people sat down in the hall, and when the servant brought the tea cup up, Chen Ping asked, "Lord Lin, what happened?" Why do you want my own official to save my life? ”

Lin Youshang looked at the young man sitting on the side, his face hesitant.

"Don't worry, he's not an outsider, if there's anything, just say it"

Lin Youshang fought in his heart, and in the end he couldn't hold it back, got up from his seat, knelt down with a plop, kowtowed and said: "Lord Thorn Shi, there is a great drought in Wu County, and all the farmland in the territory has no harvest this year, although I asked someone to levy a grain tax in advance, but at this moment the people have no food, and many people have poured into Wu County, and now more than 1,000 people have gathered outside the county, and if it goes on like this, I am afraid that Wu County will be in danger."

Lin Youshang's forehead was dripping with sweat, and his voice was a little trembling.

Thinking of the refugees I saw when I went out of the city, thousands of people gathered outside the county seat, with a pair of eyes, or blank drafts, or so red that they seemed to eat people.

Thanks to him ordering the rich families in the city to give porridge, he was able to stabilize these people temporarily, but if there was nothing to eat behind, he couldn't imagine what would happen.

It's just that after he finished speaking, he saw that Chen Ping and the young man's faces above hadn't changed, but they seemed to have known it a long time ago.

Seeing that he was puzzled, the young man couldn't help but explain kindly: "Of the seven counties in Ganzhou, not only Wu County was affected, but the other six counties also had no harvest this year due to drought."

"That'...... What about the grain tax and the strong men? Lin Youshang's eyes trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but look at Chen Ping.

Chen Ping lowered his eyes and said solemnly: "It is the duty of the people to pay taxes, how can they be slack off due to drought."

"Then this matter should be reported to the court?"

"It's just a drought, but it's just a trivial matter, so why bother"

Lin Youshang's heart trembled, and he said worriedly: "But if it is discovered by the imperial court, what if it is blamed?" ”
