On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 3 Vicious
  They quietly went to take a look the next day, and found only broken fabrics, a strong smell of blood, and the changed color of the ground at the scene of the incident.

So they took advantage of a rainy night to quietly treat several patients in a family's home.

However, they were afraid of arousing suspicion and did not dare to attack the locals. They targeted the patients in Shangchen Village who lived at the front of the ferry after being driven in.

Anyway, everyone avoided the patients who were driven in like snakes and scorpions, so I really don’t know how many patients were missing.

Last night, Xiao Wei and the others secretly went to Shangchen Village to do some work, and it was already midnight when they came back. They were still fast asleep, but he couldn't sleep after getting up in the morning.

He originally wanted to go around Xiao Youfu's house.

He has long been thinking about the Xiao sisters, they are both fair-skinned and pretty beauties.

Xiao Xiu is gentle and beautiful, Xiao Lian is bright and bright, and even Xiao Xiao is now open.

However, he heard that someone in the Xiao family was suspected of having an epidemic, so he did not dare to come to the door.

I went out for a walk today and unexpectedly saw Xiao Youfu.

At this moment, Xiao Wei felt extremely evil.

Xiao Youfu was able to come back, probably because he rowed in by himself.

If they can grab the boat, they can get out of this hellish place.

If he were alone, he wouldn't dare to make such an idea against Xiao Youfu, who has long been known as a vicious person.

But now that he still had two companions, he immediately came up with the idea of ​​​​getting both people and money.

Seeing the lack of sadness on Xiao Youfu's face, one knew that there must be no patients in his family.

He was thinking about bad ideas in his mind, but with an attentive smile on his face: "Uncle, my second uncle and fifth aunt both got sick and died three days ago, and most of the people in the village have fled. Is everything okay over there in the provincial capital?"

After the two exchanged the information they knew, Xiao Youfu greeted him: "Go and help me catch pigs in the afternoon, and eat pig-killing rice at my house in the evening!"

Of course, what he said was half true and half false. His mother-in-law was still ill, and he couldn't bear to let her work too hard. She would cut her flesh for him when the time came.

It's not that he was careless, but that in the past, even if Xiao Wei was a bastard, he never dared to have bad thoughts towards the villagers.

Xiao Wei was overjoyed and said enthusiastically: "Okay, uncle, don't look for anyone else. I still have two brothers. When the time comes, we will go help together."

He also felt that he was lucky. Now he not only had a boat, a woman, but also meat to eat, and maybe a lot of money.

This is the first time he has plotted against the villagers. In order not to be discovered, the Xiao Youfu family cannot stay, which is a pity for the pretty Xiao sisters.

Calculating mentally or not, today next year will be the death anniversary of Xiao Youfu's family.

Xiao Youfu really didn't expect Xiao Wei to have such evil intentions. Now that he had invited someone, he hurried home.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw her two older daughters cooking and boiling medicine in the kitchen. Mrs. Liu had already washed herself and was about to pour water from the wooden basin.

He hurriedly took two steps forward, grabbing the basin and pouring water: "You are not ready yet, go back and lie down quickly, I have something to tell you."

Ms. Liu was married to him because of a debt, and thinking about the line of work he did, which could be said to have caused families to be separated from each other, she always had a grudge in her heart.

What's more, the man was tall and strong, and he was even more demanding in the tent. At first, he really wanted to hide when he saw him.

What's more, he didn't expect that he would accidentally see him talking to Zhou Xiucai and suspect him.

Later, she found out that he and the little widow were flirting with each other, so she simply went back to his hometown to hide away.

She was also worried that the young widow who had given birth to a son would make him want to divorce his wife.

No matter how unbearable he was, she never thought about separation. It wasn't that she couldn't live without him, but she was worried that her daughters would be abused by her stepmother in the future.

Therefore, she never refuses the money he gives her. Even if he becomes evil, she will not be unable to support her daughters or afford their dowries. She really didn't expect that after the village was closed down, he would row back in the heavy rain at night and bring them life-saving medicine.

In the past two days, she had been so weak that he brought her medicine and water, wiped her sweat and changed her clothes. Even when she went to the toilet, he carried her there.

She didn't know how to face him.

Now being carried back to the room by a man, she did not want to struggle for fear of being laughed at by her daughters.

Besides, even if she resisted, she wouldn't be able to get away unless this barbarian let go.

When he returned to the room, he carried Mrs. Liu onto the canopy bed, and thoughtfully put the thin quilt behind her to make her lean on it more comfortably: "We can't stay at home anymore, let's leave at night? You and San'er still have to Only after seeing a doctor can you feel at ease."

Ms. Liu was also afraid that she would contract the epidemic again if she continued to stay. This time, mother and daughter could be said to have one foot in the door of hell.

She was a little reluctant to part with it: "What about the poultry at home?"

"Kill them all and ship them out for sale." He was secretly happy. After selling these poultry, she would not be thinking about returning to her hometown, and the whole family would be able to live together again in the future.

Mrs. Liu was very reluctant to give up: "The pigs at home only weigh more than a hundred pounds? I originally wanted to keep Xiu'er for slaughter when she gets married!"

She raises two pigs every year. The mother and her daughter work together to cut pig grass and mix it with rice bran, which can raise two to three hundred kilograms.

In order to take care of Xiao Yougui's business, she deliberately raised the pigs until summer or autumn.

Fortunately, the big pig was only put out in early June, so I didn’t have time to buy the smaller pigs, otherwise I would have lost even more.

Xiao Youfu was helpless: "There's nothing we can do about it. I'm worried about transporting it out alive. It would be bad if someone heard something."

He comforted her again: "Don't think so much, it's just good that our family is together."

Ms. Liu snorted: "I'm afraid there are too many people there and we can't accommodate you."

As soon as I said the words, I regretted my sour tone, as if I was jealous.

Xiao Youfu was very happy after hearing this. He finally waited for the day when his wife would act coquettishly with him, and immediately said: "Nonsense, I swear, I only have you, how can there be anyone else?"

He held her hand and said with a serious face: "Before, I just saw that you didn't care about me, so I deliberately found someone to make you jealous."

"If you tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning!"

After saying that, he felt a little guilty and quickly took a peek outside the window. It was good that the Thunder God and Lightning Girl had no time to worry about him.

Of course he was lying.

But if his wife is with him in the future, he will definitely not find another woman.

Mrs. Liu knew in her heart that in today's world, she and her daughters could only rely on him.

She lowered her eyes and asked, "Then shall we go to the town? Or to the county seat?"

"We'll wait until we go out and check the situation." Xiao Youfu saw that her face was not good, so he patiently reassured her: "Don't worry, I will protect you. You lie down first, and I will get you medicine."

After he went out, he began to think in his mind that when he returned, he would have a showdown with Widow Wu and ask her not to look for him in the future.

Six years ago, after learning that Mrs. Liu had brought her daughter home, Widow Wu wanted to move in with him, but he didn't want to. He just went there every once in a while.

The most I can do is ask her to help clean up the house, and give her one and a half cents each time.

Now that Mr. Liu knows that he is good and wants to live a good life with him, of course he has to clean up the affair.
