On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 18 Injury

The group left overnight.

Before leaving, he lit a fire to prevent other people from staying and causing trouble, and to avoid scaring passers-by who wanted to come in and stay overnight.

Of course, this time the Xiao family felt that they had made a fortune.

There were two more mule carts, five more knives, nearly fifty taels of silver, and some old clothes that were 70% to 80% new.

The only regret is that there is not much rice and noodles, only about twenty kilograms.

As for the Wu family, when I think of the fake servant lying on the floor, my heart goes crazy, and I don't dare to think it's too little even if I only get two knives.

Anyway, in their eyes, the Xiao brothers are definitely ruthless people who kill without blinking an eye, and they don't dare to mess with them!

The two young men of the Wu family were both scratched by the fake servant's knife. After being simply bandaged, they lay on the mule cart. Wu Zhijin could only drive the mule cart at the front, and Mr. Wu followed closely with the cart. thereafter.

In the middle was Mr. Xiao driving his newly acquired mule cart, in which sat Mrs. Xiao with the newly delivered grain and clothes, as well as her own luggage.

Behind them was Xiao Yougui’s family driving the mule cart that they had got for nothing. Wu was no longer afraid. Xiao Yougui, who was sitting outside and walking with the reins, kept muttering excitedly: “…A mule was obtained for nothing. If we come again, Two times, then we will be rich!"

Xiao Yougui, whose legs were weak from fear, wiped his face and hummed feebly: "Can you speak? If you do it again, you won't be afraid of losing your life?"

He felt that these words were unlucky, so he quickly took a sip and clasped his hands together: "God bless, let us all settle down in Jiangsu and Zhejiang safely."

Xiao Dalang was almost stabbed before, but fortunately he blocked it with his hand, so his arm was also injured. Now he was sitting on the mule cart, feeling as excited as a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers: "I will also practice more in the future. , can beat the bad guys to a pulp."

"Yes, we are the three tigers of the Xiao family!" Xiao Erlang and Xiao Sanlang also followed suit, wishing they could learn peerless martial arts immediately.

The last mule cart belonged to Xiao Xiao's family.

It turned out that my grandfather and second uncle's luggage, as well as some bulky buckets and the like, were all moved to their mule cart.

Most of their luggage was tied to the roof of the mule cart, and Mrs. Liu spread a straw mat so that the mother and daughter could lie on it.

It was late at night, so we could only rely on the weak new light, the sickle-like moonlight, and the wind-burning lantern to travel. Of course, the mule cart couldn't go fast.

It won't feel too bumpy when lying in the carriage.

Xiao Youfu was lazy, mainly because he was so scared that his legs were weak, so he simply sat on the shaft of the carriage and let the mule walk forward slowly. He chatted with his wife and daughter inside: "Thanks to the mistress today, otherwise we would be here now." It’s hard to say what it’s like?”

Xiao Xiao was still lying there flustered and short of breath, feeling lucky.

Even though she was afraid that she would not have a peaceful life on the road in the future, she was willing to support her biological father a little bit: "It's lucky that I have dad here. Dad, you are the backbone of our family."

Even if my father had some unreliable things in the past, based on his behavior these past few days, he can still be considered a good father.

Xiao Lian was still holding the two cleaned silver ingots tightly in her hands. She even forgot about her fear and smiled happily: "Yes, fortunately dad and little sister are here. Little sister, don't forget to ask me to come with you in the future. I’m really good at finding things.”

When she thought about missing out on searching for money, she regretted it. She always felt that if she had been there, she would have found something else.

Ms. Liu still felt frightened when she thought about it now, and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? I just hope that there will never be such a disaster again in the future. It scares people to death."

Xiao Xiu also echoed: "Yes, I just hope that I can have a safe journey in the future."

Xiao Lian murmured in a low voice: "It's a familiar thing once, and we've seen blood twice. Maybe if it happens again, we won't be so afraid."

Xiao Xiao admired Xiao Lian's courage. The question was, why did the person who said he was not afraid hold her arm tightly?
  As for why she didn't push Xiao Lian away, of course it was because she was also afraid.

In this way, when the two of them are squeezed together, they can feel each other's body temperature, which makes them feel more at ease. Mother and daughter chatted for a while before falling asleep.

Xiao Xiao dreamed that he became so powerful that he could knock the strong man away with one punch. He watched the strong man fall to the ground like a rag doll, covered in blood, and refused to rest in peace.

She even searched her purse without fear at all.

As a result, at this moment, two men in uniform suddenly appeared, saying that they saw themselves committing crimes from the camera, and finally they, the murderer, had all the stolen goods.

Then I wanted her to eat the metamorphosis child...

Xiao Xiao was woken up, and she couldn't see her fingers in the dark carriage. Fortunately, the second sister hugged her tightly even when she fell asleep.

Thinking of that weird dream, she didn't know whether she should be thankful that there were no cameras here?
  Even if I miss that legal society, I know I can't go back.

From now on, you can only rely on yourself for your own safety.

When she closed her eyes and prepared to go to Duke Zhou, she noticed that the eldest sister on the other side was also shaking all over, and she could hear the rattling sound of her teeth. She trembled into a ball and screamed: "Ah...go away... "

Xiao Xiao quickly hugged her: "Sister, it's okay, dreams are reversed!"

Liu Shi and Xiao Lian were both frightened awake by Xiao Xiu's screams and quickly comforted Xiao Xiu.

Xiao Youfu, who was dozing off on the car's shaft, suddenly became energetic. He lifted a corner of the curtain to let in the light from outside, and asked worriedly: "Don't be afraid, Xiu'er. Is dad guarding you outside?"

Xiao Xiu responded sheepishly: "Hey, I'm fine, I just had a nightmare."

Her scream made the whole family energetic.

Mainly because it was night now, except for the chirping of frogs, crickets and crickets, there was no other sound. Even the cars in front of me stopped and asked if they were okay before moving on.

When daybreak came, the drivers all sat on the shaft, and the mule cart moved faster.

Near noon, I saw a small forest suitable for tipping.

We stopped the carriage, fed the mules and horses with water, and cut some grass to feed them.

Mrs. Xiao directed her two daughters-in-law to start preparing lunch.

Xiao Youfu and the others, who had been driving all night, took the opportunity to go to each family's mule cart to relax for a while.

Xiao Xiu saw that the water in the stream was still clear, and asked her two sisters in a low voice: "Let's go forward and find a hidden place to scrub it?"

She had nightmares and was so scared that she was sweating all over. It was summer again and she felt like she was rotten.

"Okay, bring some clean clothes." Xiao Xiao also picked up a knife just in case, and didn't forget to bring a bow and arrows.

When Xiao Lian saw it, she also brought her own bow and arrow, full of confidence: "Xiao Xiao is thoughtful, the vegetation here is lush, maybe we can also shoot hares and pheasants?"

When Xiao Erlang and Sanlang heard this, they couldn't help laughing: "Second sister, your accuracy is not good, stop bragging."

Xiao Xiu put it mildly: "My family doesn't expect us to hunt prey to satisfy our hunger, but it's good to practice more."

The five siblings walked forward.

Erlang and Sanlang were arranged by Xiao Xiao to go ahead and hit the weeds half a man's height with sticks: to scare the snakes.
