On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 16 Chaos

If everyone can be safe, then everyone will be happy, and the Wu family will have to inherit their family ties. When they arrive in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they can be regarded as their saviors and can also take advantage of the opportunity.

Anyway, he calculated that it was better for the Wu family to know the inside story than not to know, so he quietly knocked on the door next door.

Xiao Yougui, who didn't know that his eldest brother was thinking clearly about the benefits before knocking on the door, still sighed to his three sons: "You uncles are still chivalrous, you should learn more!"

Xiao Dalang and the others nodded vigorously in agreement.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but glance at his second uncle. That was his brother. He didn't even know who his brother was?

If you learn from your father, aren't you afraid of having three more gangsters?
  But she had no intention of joking. When she thought of the water in Mangcao, her heart burned with fear, guilt, and panic.

Although she had seen how powerful Mangcao was, she had only seen it before. She was not sure what the real effect would be.
  But she didn't dare to show it, which would make her family even more worried.

Hey, blacksmithing requires one's own hard work, and being careless is still a substandard method. They should also work hard to learn archery, that is their own ability.

Like now, if she had good archery skills and could occupy a favorable terrain and defeat them one by one, she wouldn't have to hide in fear.

As for Xiao Youfu, he would not say that they were planning to poison people to death. He only said that he overheard them preparing water mixed with arsenic for them to drink.

He had an idea and poured all the water into their meals.

Let the Wu family be careful.

Master Wu was complaining in his heart. He originally wanted to use the servants to leave the Xiao family's wolf den, but he didn't expect that he would run into the tiger's den again.

On the surface, they had to thank him profusely, showing that their family members obeyed their instructions.

After sending Xiao Youfu away politely, in order to prevent the wall from having ears, he made the young man and his wife sit by the door, and the whole family gathered around and talked in low voices.

Mrs. Wu has fair skin, long eyebrows, narrow eyes, slightly plump skin, and a slight wrinkle between her eyebrows. She does not look approachable.

At this moment, she couldn't hide her worry: "Husband, do you think Boss Xiao's words are credible?"

"There is no need for him to lie to us." Mr. Wu slapped his forehead: "It's my fault too. I didn't pay more attention to it at the time. Now that I think about it, something is indeed wrong."

Those who run restaurants have also seen many ghosts and monsters. Now that I think about it carefully, I have realized it.

Then he looked at his two sons and one daughter: "You should wake up at night. Don't leave your pockets and daggers, Dalang Erlang. If something really happens, don't worry about us. Just rush out and hide first and act according to the situation."

According to the laws of the Wu Kingdom, the descendants of big businessmen cannot take the imperial examination.

Therefore, in order for his two sons to gain fame, Mr. Wu did not dare to expand his business. The original restaurant was also recorded in his wife's name. It was regarded as her dowry. On weekdays, another shopkeeper was hired to take care of it.

As his boss, he spends a lot of time behind the scenes.

But it was also because the two sons were devoted to their studies, and both were fair, elegant and handsome scholars. Now when something happened, although they were not helpless, they both turned pale with fear.

Wu Zhijin, who is already nineteen years old, has handsome features and handsome eyes. When he was fifteen years old, he was a middle-aged boy. Originally, his husband said that he could retire and prepare to take the scholar examination next year.

He had experienced few things, most of which were conflicts between classmates in the academy. Now that he suddenly heard about a major incident that could easily cost several lives, he was really frightened to the point where his heart was jumping.

After hearing what their father meant, it was obvious that if something happened, they would drag the criminals and let themselves and their brother escape for their lives.

That would really be too difficult for him, a serious person who has learned the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Virtues.

He immediately said: "Father, mother, my brother and I are young and strong. If something really happens, we will lead Achang and Aquan to hold them, and you should leave first." With a look of remorse: "If I had known today, we should have been more diligent in riding and shooting lessons on weekdays."

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine.

He was smarter: "Uncle Xiao and the others look very strong. If something happens, those people will definitely deal with them first. We can take the opportunity to leave."

After he finished speaking, he saw his brother looking at him with disapproval, so he immediately criticized himself: "I know we are a bit mean, but even if we stay, it will be a hindrance."

Wu Zhijin could only think on the bright side: "Uncle Xiao has already said that he poured arsenic water into the pot. Maybe they will all be dead without us working hard."

Wu Xiulian, who had been silent all this time, cried silently: "If I had known there was such a chaos outside, we might as well have been in the town? Why should our family be afraid of conscription if we only have a little money?"

"Sister, don't be stupid." Wu Zhiqian retorted: "If the conscripts come, the family business will be changed. Didn't you see that even the wife of the county magistrate ran away with her children?"

Mr. Wu sighed: "Okay, don't make any sound, so as not to hear the sounds outside."

As for those fake servants, they were in a good mood thinking about the two fat sheep in the backyard. Everyone was sitting around drinking and eating meat.

Originally, the servants' daughters-in-law were cooking in the kitchen, but later they were killed by them, which resulted in them having to cook by themselves.

A large pot of bacon stewed with dried bamboo shoots and a pot of bacon white rice made their mouths full of oil.

However, the elder was poor when he was growing up, so he ate too much dried bamboo shoots, and he would cough if he ate too much bacon, so he restrained himself from eating only a few pieces of bacon and didn't like to drink soup.

Therefore, when six of his men fell to the ground twitching and twitching while frothing at the mouth after drinking soup, he suspected that they were eating something wrong.

He also has some basic medical skills, and he can tell if his men are in danger by taking a pulse.

Anyway, he couldn't cure them with his three-legged cat's medical skills.

What made him even more desperate was that this place was really in the wilderness. He couldn't find a doctor even in the middle of the night.

In the unbearable pain, someone hit his head on the ground and howled in pain: "Brother, those people must have poisoned us. Go and kill them to avenge us...ahhhh..."

"Qiangzi, Aguang..." He also noticed something was wrong with him, felt nauseous, felt dizzy and had abdominal pain.

Looking at some people who no longer twitched, had bleeding from their mouths and noses, and turned pale, it was obvious that they had died.

He also forced himself to stand up, pulled out the knife smoothly, and strode to the house behind.

It's not that he doesn't care about his life, but that he has been poisoned and there is no use running away.

Now go kill a few people and ask for the antidote. Maybe there is still a way to survive.

Just as he was about to walk to the door, an arrow was shot from the side, and he thought he was ambushed.

Fortunately, although he was unwell, he was still able to use his martial arts skills. He drew his sword and deflected the arrow in an instant.

Another arrow came from different directions, but he also discovered that the archer's arrow technique was not accurate, he did not aim at the vital point, and his strength was not enough. He easily deflected all the arrows that were shot at him.

He simply held the knife and quickly rushed towards the place where the archer was hiding.

When Xiao Xiao saw him rushing over with great momentum, she secretly cried out that she was unlucky. She quickly threw away the arrow and quickly retreated to the edge of the tree. In a few seconds, she climbed up the tree nimbly.
