Drought is a catastrophe.

The people have no food to eat or water to drink, and in a long time they will be in turmoil.

At that time, the imperial court will condemn him, and as the head of a county, he will inevitably be unable to escape responsibility, and as a state assassin, Chen Ping will not be able to get out of it.

He really didn't know why he wasn't in a hurry.

"Lord Lin doesn't have to worry"

"The imperial court is very busy now, but it can't manage this small drought in Ganzhou"

Chen Ping still didn't speak, it was the young man who spoke.

Lin Youshang subconsciously looked up, the boy was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, and what he was wearing was a new ice silk cloud brocade in the south this summer.

And this young man has a personable demeanor and an extraordinary temperament, and in his words and deeds, he actually knows everything about the drought in Ganzhou.

"Who is this son who has not been consulted?"

Lin Youshang had a polite attitude, just from the clothes he cared for, he could see that this young man's identity was extraordinary, and he didn't dare to offend him for a while.

"Lord Lin doesn't have to know who he is"

"It's just a refugee, could it be that the officials in your Wu County all eat white rice?"

But it was the assassin Chen Ping who took the words.

"What do you mean?"

Lin Youshang's face changed slightly, and he forcibly drove the refugees away, just afraid of causing a riot among the people.

Chen Ping didn't speak, only gave Lin Youshang a look, Lin Youshang hurriedly lowered his head and hesitated: "But if that's the case......"

The following words, under Chen Ping's eyes, slowly closed his voice, and finally all the words turned into one sentence: "Yes"

Leaving the Chen Mansion and sitting in the carriage, Lin Youshang looked worried.

"It's going to be a big mess."

He muttered to himself.

-----------------

On the other side, Bai Xia and Li Xiuyuan finally inquired about the way to the county seat.

Take out some branches and burn them, wrap the burned charcoal with some strips of cloth, and a simple pen is ready, when walking on the road, Bai Xia consciously memorized the route, and at night, the two of them found a place on the side of the road and lit a fire to rest.

"Sanya, sleep"

Li Xiuyuan sat on the ground and beckoned Bai Xia to rest quickly.

In this case, one is dry, and the fire is afraid that the fire will be blown to other places by the wind, and the other is afraid that the fire will go out and sleep on the ground at night, so the two must leave one person to keep vigil.

"Sleep, I'll keep vigil"

Not only fire, but also to guard against whether you will encounter people.

Although it is unlikely, if it is really encountered, the two of them will sleep like pigs by then, and they don't know what the situation is.

Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, and then looked around, although the bright moon was hanging high in the sky, but in fact, except for the location of their fire, it was still pitch black, especially because the light of the fire was brighter than the surroundings, but it seemed even darker around.

In the darkness, it seems that there is an unknown monster hidden, and it wants to choose people to eat.

"What do you think?"

Bai Xia pressed one hand on his head and rubbed it vigorously.

"Will we have to sleep outside every day from now on?"

Li Xiuyuan looked at Bai Xia.

Bai Xia nodded.

"As long as you don't find a place to stay, that's all you can do"

Li Xiuyuan frowned.

The memory in the dream became a little blurry, but he was sure that he didn't stay in the wild for long at that time, there were more people at that time, and it was precisely because of this that Sanya ...... in the end

He gritted his teeth and didn't say anything more, but he planned to sleep for a while, and woke up to replace Sanya's vigil.

Otherwise, if you rush during the day and keep vigil at night, you will not be able to bear it even if you are beaten with iron.

What's more, she's just a little kid too.

Bai Xia didn't know these thoughts in Li Xiuyuan's heart.

When he had gone to sleep, he took out a book, took a charcoal pen and wrote and drew on the blank pages, and drew a simple map according to the path he had traveled for a while.

After she finished writing, she took out the jerky and ate the white rice.

After eating, I started to practice martial arts.

The night passed quickly, and Li Xiuyuan woke up in a daze, and it was already dawn.

He was stunned for a moment, then slapped himself in the face.

Let you sleep, how can you sleep like this?

"Sanya, Sanya"

Bai Xia was not there, Li Xiuyuan was suddenly a little anxious, and as soon as he shouted twice, he saw Bai Xia coming from a distance, carrying a basket behind his back.

"Are you awake?"

"Hmm," Li Xiuyuan sulked.

"Eat something first, and we'll continue to hurry after eating" Bai Xia took out two bowls of rice from the back basket and took out some of the dried meat.

Holding the rice, Li Xiuyuan, who had been hungry for a long time, immediately ate it in a big gulp, and the dry and hard meat was served with rice, which is a life that many people can't think of at the moment.

The only fly in the ointment is that there are no side dishes and there is not enough water.

"I looked around and there was a small stream, but it was also dry"

"Now that the water source is getting scarce and the weather is too hot during the day, I decided to rush at night"

"I'll sleep in a while, you practice calligraphy with charcoal by yourself, pay attention to see if anyone comes, and if you find someone, wake me up in time"

"At night you sleep, I carry you on my back"

This is the best way that Bai Xia figured out.

As long as she and Li Xiuyuan stagger the rest time, then she can do a lot of things, she is not all sleeping during the day, she can practice martial arts before going to bed, and the things that make money are put at night, if there is a village and there are people in it, she can sell rice out.

"No, don't carry it, I can walk on my own"

How could Li Xiuyuan agree to let Bai Xia carry him on his back, she was not much older than him, and she didn't know what it would be like to be tired all the way with him on her back.

"Alright, that's it"

Bai Xia didn't care what he thought.

In the past two days, there was plenty of food, and her progress in martial arts training was much faster, and her strength was much greater.

It's just a matter of carrying a Li Xiuyuan, and there's no problem at all.

This kid is not yet forty pounds, how much can he weigh?

In this way, Bai Xia and the two of them became resting during the day and rushing at night, they didn't take the official road, so along the way, they rarely encountered people, and sometimes when they saw the village, Bai Xia would also go into the village to see, but unfortunately the situation in these villages was even worse than that of Lijia Village, which was already empty, and the only good thing was that there were many guys left in the village, and it should be that when the people in the village left, they didn't have time to take it away.

Tonight, Bai Xia and Li Xiuyuan stopped in a village called Baijia Village.

"Have you arrived?"

Li Xiuyuan rubbed his eyes in the back basket and looked at Bai Xia.

Bai Xia shook his head.

"Baijia Village should not be far from the county seat, we won't be in a hurry tonight, let's have a good rest here"

"Finally don't have to sleep outside?"

"Yes"

Bai Xia is looking for a relatively remote family in the village, this family should have moved away, and the small things in the house have been moved cleanly, only some large and inconvenient things are still in the house.

Bai Xia looked at the wooden bed in this family's house, holding his chin in contemplation with his palm.

She wanted to take the bed with her.
