My Husband Comes from the Future Chapter 163.2

Chapter 163 2/3

This house was designed very simply, and it was built quickly. As long as the supply of bricks and tiles is sufficient, and a few more people are hired, it can be completed in half a month.

Their own house, designed by Li Qingzhi, was also very simple.

The layout he used was the common layout of courtyards in this era, and the houses were further simplified, with unnecessary decorations omitted.

This way, a lot of money can be saved.

But Li Qingzhi put a lot of effort into building the bathrooms and toilets.

After some people pass the provincial examination, they would go to the provincial capital or the prefectural capital to study. But after considering it, he still planned to stay at home.

In that case, the bathrooms in his house must be well designed to make him feel comfortable living there.

In addition, a cafeteria, toilets, and bathhouse for the students also needed to be built. These buildings weren’t complicated… Hiring a few more people, they could be finished in a month.

But it would cost quite a bit of money.

Fortunately, Juewei Zhai continued to earn money for him, and Du Yongning also gave him two hundred taels of silver.

When Li Qingzhi made up his mind about what he wanted to do, he acted quickly.

After ten days of preparation, his school officially started construction.

It was also at this time that Du Yongning left Chongcheng County and went to Linhu County.

He had always wanted to go to Linhu County to take a look.

Early in the morning, Li Qingzhi went to the pier to see Du Yongning off.

Du Yongning was very touched, and even wanted to compose a poem on the spot, but Li Qingzhi stopped him, saying, “You can compose your poem on the boat. Hurry along now.”

Du Yongning was a bit slow to react. Were they really parting ways without any reluctance from Li Qingzhi?

Of course, Li Qingzhi didn’t feel reluctant. He actually wanted Du Yongning to leave quickly. This Du Yongning… was a bit too much trouble.

These days, Du Yongning followed him every day, asking him countless questions, which were starting to annoy him!

Moreover… he wanted some peace and quiet to do other things.

After sending Du Yongning off, Li Qingzhi bought two pens and a thick stack of paper, then returned home and started writing the book he had been thinking about for days.

This book he was writing was called “Chronicles of Famine,” written in the same style as “Record of Injustice.”

Li Qingzhi first wrote down the year and date six years ago on the paper, then continued to write: “I passed through Yuxi Prefecture and was trapped by wind and rain…”

Yuxi Prefecture was where Yuxi County was located.

At that time, there was a flood, and not just Yuxi County was affected; the entire Yuxi Prefecture suffered a disaster.

Lü Qingxi’s hometown was the neighboring county of Yuxi County.

Li Qingzhi continued to write in the first person, depicting being trapped in Yuxi Prefecture, encountering a flood, nearly losing his life, but being saved by someone. He also described the aftermath of the flood, with no vegetation growing, no food, and countless people facing starvation, forced to leave their homes to struggle for survival.

Then, the “I” in the book followed the refugees southward…

The refugees told “me” about their life experiences, and “I” also witnessed the various hardships they experienced on their journey.

For example, there was a refugee who finished telling his story, only to die in a melee over food…

The original owner of the body had indeed witnessed many atrocities during his escape, all of which could be written about.

He could also use the repeated questions from the common people in the book: “Where is the relief grain? Where is the relief silver?”

The county magistrate had been providing relief, so why was he killed?

If he had embezzled the relief silver, then after he was killed, where did the silver go?

Li Qingzhi possessed the memories of the original owner.

When he first crossed over, he just wanted to survive and didn’t touch these memories too much.

In fact, even the original owner had buried his family grudge deep in his heart.

The original owner knew he was not capable enough, so he didn’t dare to think too much. He just wanted to survive, continue the Li family line…

But who could truly ignore those feelings of hatred?

The Li family died tragically!

When the original owner learned that his entire family had been killed while fleeing, he didn’t dare to cry at the time, but later… every time he woke up, tears would flow down his face.

The original owner’s family was originally very happy. Although he wasn’t good at studying, he was good with numbers and could have had a decent future.

At that time in Yuxi County, he even had a vague liking for a girl.

If there hadn’t been any accidents, after some time, he would have asked his mother to go propose marriage, then gotten married and had children, becoming a teacher or a minor official in the government, and lived like that for the rest of his life…

However, a flood, a false accusation, completely rewrote his life.

The original owner’s life was truly miserable.

The people who died in Yuxi Prefecture were also equally miserable.

Li Qingzhi finished “Record of Injustice” in just over ten days, but this book would definitely take longer to write. He planned to spend a month completing it.

As for the outside world… he would naturally say that he was studying diligently.

Li Qingzhi was quite engrossed in writing this time, until Jin Xiaoye came to find him, snapping him out of it.

“Ah Qing, it’s time to eat,” Jin Xiaoye came to call Li Qingzhi for dinner.

Li Qingzhi smiled and folded the manuscript in his hand and put it in his arms.

He had to be careful not to let others see this manuscript.

Jin Xiaoye looked a bit curious when she saw this, but she didn’t ask much.

Li Qingzhi went downstairs and found that today the female workers were eating stewed pork with taro. There was also a bowl on their table, and besides that, there were cold dishes made by Jin Xiaoshu and soup made by Jin Xiaoye.

The soup was pork rib tofu seaweed soup, quite nutritious. Li Qingzhi used the soup to soak his rice and ate quite a bit.

After dinner, Li Qingzhi chatted with Li Damao and Li Ermao for a while before going back upstairs.

“Ah Qing, are you feeling bad today?” Jin Xiaoye followed up.

“Did you notice?” Li Qingzhi was surprised.

“I noticed, you’re not in a good mood,” Jin Xiaoye said, feeling that Li Qingzhi seemed a bit listless at lunch today.

“A bit,” Li Qingzhi admitted.

“What happened to you?” Jin Xiaoye asked.

Jin Xiaoye’s face was full of concern, and Li Qingzhi knew that she was very worried about him.

He thought for a moment, then suddenly said, “Xiaoye, there

‘s something I want to tell you.”

Li Qingzhi had never told Jin Xiaoye about the original owner’s identity.

It’s not that he didn’t trust Jin Xiaoye, but he was afraid that Jin Xiaoye would worry if she knew.

But thinking about it now… keeping it from her wasn’t good either.

“What’s the matter?” Jin Xiaoye asked.

Li Qingzhi said, “Xiaoye, I’m actually a wanted criminal.”

Jin Xiaoye was a little stunned. “You’re a wanted criminal? What could you have done?”

Li Qingzhi was only eighteen when he came to Miaoqian Village. What crime could he have committed?

Li Qingzhi didn’t hide anything and told Jin Xiaoye about the original owner’s background, of course, he also said that his identity was very well forged and wouldn’t be recognized by anyone.

As for him being from the end of the world… he didn’t plan to mention that.

He would live on as the original owner.

Jin Xiaoye listened and clenched her teeth. “Some people are really despicable!”

After cursing, Jin Xiaoye looked at Li Qingzhi again.

She didn’t expect Li Qingzhi to be the son of the county magistrate!

If she had known this before, she might have found it quite strange and even felt a little flattered, but now that Li Qingzhi had passed the imperial examination and had even eaten with the governor… Li Qingzhi’s father was the county magistrate, it didn’t seem like a big deal?

As for Li Qingzhi being a wanted criminal… “Ah Qing, you look completely different from before now, don’t worry, no one will recognize you.”
