On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 39 Changshan County

During this period, I don’t know where Liu Da slipped away and rode back the three horses they had kept in a hidden place.

He rode in the lead, and although the two horses behind him had no owners on their backs, they galloped along with the horses in front of them very smartly, never falling behind.

Even if Xiao Xiao didn't understand the quality of horses, looking at the majestic, fat and strong horse with four hoofs galloping over, its strong iron hoofs and smooth and shiny horse hair, as long as she was not blind, You know this horse is expensive.

Compared with the Wu family's horse, it is like the difference between a million-dollar luxury car and an ordinary taxi.

"So majestic!" She had # in her eyes with envy, and she made up her mind that a real woman must be able to ride a horse! There must be a horse!

When He Shuang and the others came back, Li Ji gave him a polite fist: "The mountains are high and the rivers are long, please take good care of me!"

Before they finished speaking, the three of them immediately rode away elegantly, causing tears of envy to flow from Xiao Xiao's lips.

From now on, she firmly believed that riding a horse was the fastest and correct way to escape.

Mrs. Wu, who was originally riding in the carriage and felt that she was very impressive and majestic, also watched with regret as the three horses drove away.

If I had known earlier, I would not have allowed my daughter to be so reserved. Looking at Mr. Li's appearance, I knew that his family background would not be much different. If I had met him earlier, I could have known him better.

From her point of view, it was not unusual to have an entourage, but the fact that the entourage could even ride a horse showed that Mr. Li's family was wealthy.

After all, a horse like that would cost at least two to three hundred taels of silver each, and it was the kind that was marketable but priceless.

These few horses are almost as rich as his own, which shows that Mr. Li's family background is either rich or noble.

It's a pity that their horse appeared too late, otherwise she wouldn't have been hesitating, worrying that Mr. Li was not worth the investment.

Originally, Xiao Xiao and the others planned to set off after lunch, but now that they had to pack up the wild boar, they simply planned to stay here for the night.

This wild boar was not small, and the weather was hot now. Xiao Youfu simply sold more than fifty kilograms at a low price to another group of passers-by who were tipping and resting, and also made more than a tael of silver.

This wild boar doesn't cost any money, it's like picking up money in vain.

Then they and the Wu family also cooked meat in four large pots.

The taste of wild boar is not as good as that of domestic pigs, and the meat also has a fishy smell.

Fortunately, the Xiao family are pig butchers and can clean the pork very clean. Boss Wu used to run a restaurant and knew that rubbing wild boar meat with vinegar can remove the fishy smell. When stewing the meat, he also added a lot of rice wine and white wine to make it more delicious. Xiao Youfu felt distressed after taking a few sips.

He turned his grief and anger into appetite, and ate three large bowls of meat with soup and meat in his belly. His mouth was filled with oil, and in the end he couldn't help but burp.

Of course, he was not the only one who was full, but all the twenty-one members of the Xiao family and the Wu family were so full that they didn't want to move.

Xiao Yougui lay on the grass, touched his bulging belly and sighed: "Thanks to our family selling pork, this is the first time in my life that I can eat all the meat!"

I can't think about it, I just want to shed bitter tears when I think about it.

After eating and drinking, Xiao Erlang was in the mood to recite a poem while shaking his head: "I went to the city yesterday and came back with tears streaming down my face. Those who are covered in silken clothes are not sericulture farmers! This has happened since ancient times!"

Mrs. Xiao didn't understand, but that didn't stop her from smiling lovingly at her promising second grandson. She turned around and changed her face. She immediately lowered her face and glared at her younger son angrily: "How can you be so reckless?" What about drinking? Do you still want to live your life?"

Although she was full, she was really distressed. The main reason was that the weather was too hot and the meat would smell after being stored for a long time.

There is so much meat, if it is rubbed with salt, it can be stored for an extra day or two.

But salt also costs money. Besides, she is not stupid. She knows that salt is indispensable outside. Why did those people want to exchange rice, flour and silver for salt?

Thinking of this, she was reluctant to part with salt, so she simply soaked some dried bamboo shoots, soybeans, wild vegetables, and wild boar meat and cooked them all at once. Everyone had a good meal in the evening, and the rest could be eaten for another day tomorrow. However, she still nagged sadly: "It's a pity that I didn't bring the pig blood back, otherwise I could cook a pot of pig blood?"

Xiao Dalang and the others were too tired to move. They sat leaning against the tree and began to fantasize: "The meat is so delicious. It would be great if we met another wild boar."

Mr. Xiao shook his head when he heard this and gave a stern warning: "A wild boar can break a tree as big as a bowl in one fell swoop. With just a few of you, even if a wild boar comes to your door, you can only run away quickly."

He was really afraid that his grandsons, young and energetic, would not know the seriousness of an encounter with a wild boar, so he really wanted to catch a wild boar.

The two sons are still injured. If something happens to the grandchildren, they will not be able to survive.

Xiao Xiao also echoed: "That's right, if Mr. Li and the others hadn't helped, you probably wouldn't be able to see me now."

"Besides, can wild boar be as delicious as farmed pork?"

"When we settle down, buy more pork so you can eat enough."

She was the only one who ate only one bowl of meat.

The main reason is that the roe deer meat at noon was too delicious and tender. Now that I eat wild boar meat, my mouth and stomach are protesting.

This made her understand that it is easy to be naughty.

In any case, she would not dare to provoke the wild boar until she had perfected her archery skills. After all, her life was more important.

However, this meal of wild boar meat still left a particularly deep memory for the Xiao and Wu families.

Because everyone hadn't eaten something so rich for a long time, Mrs. Wu, her daughter, the Xiao family, and the Wu family all had stomach upsets.

Xiao Xiao thought in her mind that the Wu family's mother and daughter ate too finely in the past, her grandparents might be because they were old, and as for the second aunt, it was definitely because she ate too much fat.

Did she see that when the second aunt went to serve the meat, she carefully selected the fat? Can her stomach handle it?
  Anyway, by the next day, they were all lying in the car and had no energy to walk.

Every once in a while for a cup of tea, someone would shout to stop, and then hurriedly hide in the grass on the roadside... The picture was so beautiful that I couldn't even think about it.

Unfortunately, there is no medicine now. Fortunately, Ms. Liu knew that an herbal medicine called rat flower can stop diarrhea, and she led her daughters to find a lot of it along the way to boil water for them.

I don’t know whether it was the herbal medicine that was helpful or whether everyone had good resistance. Anyway, they all got better one after another two days later.

Fortunately, there was still no one missing from their large team.

However, in this way, they delayed their journey. It was not until the afternoon of July 14th that the group finally arrived at the gate of Changshan County.

There was still a long queue of carriages and horses waiting to enter the county town.

Xiao Youfu also took the opportunity to take his nephews to the front to inquire about the news.

Even though the daughters are smart and capable, there are too many people and they are crowded together. They are deeply afraid that their daughters will be taken advantage of by those brats and men with ill intentions, so they are absolutely not allowed to follow them to inquire for information.

　As for the noise that cannot be solved by making noodles in the garage downstairs, I admit that I am cowardly, greedy for life and afraid of death, and I cannot risk it.

　　In the end, the couple decided to put the house up for sale and then borrow some money from their brothers and sisters to buy another house.

　　In addition, I also bought several earplugs with good reviews, hoping to survive.

　　Thank you guys for giving me good advice, I really appreciate it! ! !
