On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 32 Tigress
  "You're so polite. You left some money for me to calm down my shock?" Xiao Xiao first picked up the money on the ground. She would definitely not refuse the unexpected fortune.

Then he went to see what was cooking in their pot.

This sight made her swallow her saliva: "You all come and eat, this is a delicious meal they left for us to calm down."

There is a large pot of hard-boiled eggs and duck eggs, and another pot of porridge with lean meat. The aroma of rice is mixed with the aroma of meat, and the aroma is alluring.

There is half a bag of rice and half a bag of mung beans on the side, each weighing at least twenty kilograms.

There are also about five or six kilograms of large yellow rock sugar in jars.

This shows how hurried they were when they escaped.

Xiao Lian came over to take a look and was also very surprised: "Wow, what a big pot. With so many delicious foods, how many taels of silver does it cost?"

"That's right," Xiao Xiao touched her chin and pretended to be serious: "I think we are quite suitable to be kings of the mountain. We can rob the rich and give to the poor, and act chivalrously and righteously."

They were all running under the noses of the Xiao family, so they didn't have to worry about eating uncleanly.

Furthermore, it has been more than four hours since I woke up in the middle of the night. During this period, it can be said that I have experienced life and death. At this time, everyone is already hungry, and they all rush over to drink meat porridge and eat eggs.

The pot they brought was very big. Anyway, Xiao Xiao and the others finished two big bowls each, leaving only half of the pot left.

Xiao Xiao thought that the hard-boiled eggs were tasteless, so he went to find some cinnamon, star anise and tea leaves to prepare for finishing.

The main reason was that she had nothing to do since she was full and had to wait for someone.

After Xiao Lian's experience with Mangcao, she now feels nervous when she sees the eight anise: "Xiao San, don't get it wrong. In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't put the eight anise."

She had a shadow of anise: "I think hard-boiled eggs are delicious."

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but laugh: "Second sister, don't worry. I don't want to lie down, so I won't make a mistake."

"Smell it, how fragrant is this star anise?" Concerned about the Lin sisters, Xiao Xiao leaned into Xiao Lian's ear and whispered: "The grass has no fragrance, and even if it is grass, one or two won't kill anyone. , don’t scare yourself.”

Xiao Lian gave her a look, took her bow and arrows and went to the side to practice archery.

After Xiao Youfu drank the medicine, he lay on the grass and fell asleep.

The escape last night was too hasty, and the luggage was hastily packed into the car. Taking advantage of the free time now, Liu and Xiao Xiu packed the luggage on the mule cart.

The Lin sisters also followed Xiao Xiao to cut grass and feed the mules.

Even though the Lin sisters were pampered and raised before, the two sisters were hungry and almost died, and now they don't have the temperament of a young lady.

Instead, learn to work as hard as possible so as not to become a useless burden.

Otherwise, it would be really difficult for the two sisters to survive in this troubled world.

Soon, the tea eggs began to exude an overbearing fragrance.

Xiao Xiao ate one while it was hot: "It's still not tasty enough, continue to add more firewood to cook."

"Uncle, aunt," Xiao Dalang ran in from the outside in a panic. When he saw them, he cheered in surprise: "Grandpa, come in quickly, I found uncle and the others."

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed to the pot and swallowed his saliva: "I'm starving to death. Can I eat these?"

After Xiao Xiao and the others had eaten most of the pot of meat porridge, they added rice to make the porridge, which was prepared for them.

If they don't come, it will be Xiao Xiao's dinner.

"Eat!" Xiao Xiao gave him a wooden bowl: "Are the Wu family members also with you?"

Xiao Dalang didn't care about burning it. He picked up an egg first, peeled it and ate it before he had time to return: "We met on the road, and now we are together. Fortunately, you are tied with red cloth and are conspicuous. I will run in first and take a look." .”

Soon, a carriage and two mule carts also drove in. Xiao Yougui was also injured earlier, more seriously than Xiao Youfu. He was stabbed on the back. Fortunately, he was rolling on a donkey at the time, otherwise he would have been worried about being split in half.

Now I can only lie down, moaning and groaning in pain.

Xiao Youfu went over to look at the wound, and instructed Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Wu to help him re-bandage it. After he had eaten enough, the medicine here was ready.

As for the Wu family, Achang and Quan also followed in the fight and were injured, so they had to be nursed first. Now it is Mr. Wu and Wu Dalang who drive the car.

But now everyone can get together again, and there is not a lot of them left.

Not only the Wu family and Xiao Yougui were relieved, but even Xiao Youfu was secretly relieved.

He was injured, and he was afraid of meeting the real gangster, which could not be scared away by the tricks of his daughters.

Now they seem to be outnumbered, and ordinary people don't dare to take any chances with them.

After everyone had eaten and drank, Xiao Youfu decided to move forward.

Fortunately, everyone was worried that there would be pursuers behind, so they all agreed immediately.

Who would have known that before I even had a cup of tea, there would be a traffic jam ahead that made it impossible to pass.

Xiao Xiao and Xiao Lian went forward to investigate. All they could see were fallen carriages and people sitting on the ground crying. It turned out to be the cattle pulling the carriage. They went crazy for some reason and rushed forward and hit the mule in front. car.

This mountain road is originally narrow, and at its widest point, it can only accommodate two mule carts.

Now in this chaos, more than a dozen mule carts have been frightened and collided into a ball, blocking the road.

Fortunately, there are mountain walls on both sides. If there were a cliff on one side, many people would be killed right now.

Xiao Lian sighed: "One of the carriage shafts and wheels is broken. It will take at least several hours to clean it up. We can't leave today."

Xiao Xiao also went back with her, talked to everyone, found a spacious place, unloaded the carriage first, then drove the mules and horses in a different direction, continued to load the carriage, and returned to the original grove.

It was a good thing they didn't have a mule cart behind them, otherwise it would be even more troublesome.

It was almost dark after all this fuss.

Mr. Xiao looked at the sky and frowned: "Since the clouds are coming from the northeast, there will be wind and rain. The weather is not right. You should cut some grass and build a straw shed just in case."

Xiao Dalang quickly used his stick and put it on Se's head, and then said: "Grandpa, look, there are so many snakes and insects at the moment, something is definitely going to change."

Xiao Sanlang said to Lin Long with a happy face: "That's great, big brother, please make a few more strokes. Let's cook a pot at night, so we can have a tooth ceremony."

Afraid that Lin Long wouldn't believe it, he was very sure: "This soup is delicious. Have you ever eaten it before?"

After hearing this, the Lin sisters were so scared that they hugged each other.

They felt that they might not be able to enjoy this delicious food.

Xiao Xiao snickered when she saw it. Unless she was forced to do so, I guess not many girls could tolerate such delicious food.

But it can also be seen that boys are indeed bolder.

This time, Mr. Xiao, his grandchildren, and the Wu family began to cut the grass and use vine sticks to weave the grass into a straw shed.

Fortunately, there is a small forest here. The trees were used as pillars, and several straw sheds were quickly built.

In the second half of the night, it really started thundering and raining. Fortunately, they were prepared and didn't get wet.

The next day, the rain was still falling, and Mrs. Xiao became worried: "The clean water is almost gone. You can bring a few buckets of water from the river to settle it. Then it can be boiled and used."
