On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 5 Trophies

Before the unlucky tall man had time to get up, he was stepped on twice by the playful pig again. The pain caused his internal organs to shift. He screamed: "Help me, get rid of the pigs quickly!"

If this stupid pig stepped on him twice more, it would probably kill him.

Xiao Wei and the short man both waved wooden sticks to drive the pigs away.

But the yard is only two or three inches in size, and the pig pen, chicken coop, toilet, and woodshed also take up a lot of space, so the open space is even smaller.

The angry Piggy found out that there were humans beating him, and even more screamed and ran rampant, trying to find a safe place.

Xiao Youfu also took the opportunity to come to the window and nervously warned: "Don't come out!"

His family has been in the business of killing pigs since his grandfather, so he naturally knows some of the habits of pigs.

Now the pig was frightened to death by the four of them shouting and killing, and he would not stop until he ran out of strength.

This actually gave him a chance to breathe.

He was also hit with several sticks, and he finally understood that he had overestimated himself before. If the pig waiting to be slaughtered hadn't rushed out in time to interfere, he was worried that he would not be able to withstand the attacks of the three of them.

But he must not die, otherwise mother and daughter will not end well.

At this moment, the window was opened, and Mrs. Liu handed out the hatchet: "Take this, shall we come out to help you?"

There are only a dozen or so households left in Shuikou Village now, but they are all clustered together in three or two, and the others are separated by fields and are relatively far apart.

Their house is on the far side, and the two families that are close to each other have moved away. I am afraid that other families are more than two miles apart. Even if they shout to break their throats, even if they hear it when the epidemic is rampant, I am afraid that they will not hear it. He will also act like he didn't hear it.

So they are on their own.

"No, you are not allowed to come out." Xiao Youfu shook the hatchet in his hand, and while they were half paying attention to the pig, he gritted his teeth and rushed over.

Xiao Wei and the others originally wanted to kill the pigs that were wandering around, so they ignored Xiao Youfu.

Besides, they felt that they had the upper hand, as long as they were prevented from running out.

Anyway, in their hearts, whether it is a pig or a human, it is already theirs.

When Xiao Wei saw Xiao Youfu rushing over with a woodcutter from the corner of his eye, he was so frightened that he trembled all over and yelled: "Brother Chen, get out of the way!"

The short man who was fantasizing about eating roast pork or stewed pork suddenly felt something bad. When he wanted to avoid it, blood spurted out from his shoulders and neck. The tearing pain made him fall to the ground twitching and wailing uncontrollably.

"Ah ah ah, save me..."

This was how they used to deal with people who were driven in and got the disease, but now it was their turn and they realized that it really hurt.

Xiao Youfu also gritted his teeth and struck at the tall man. The tall man had been injured before. Now he saw that Li Chen, the most skilled among the three, had fallen to the ground with blood. He was frightened and hid in Xiao Youfu. Behind Wei, he pushed him: "Kill him quickly!"

Xiao Wei was also frightened to the point where his legs were weak. The ground was muddy due to the rain. He pushed him again and he fell to the ground.

"Uncle, don't kill me, I was wrong..."

Xiao Youfu thought to himself: This is not a human, this is a pig!

With a ferocious look on his face, he raised the knife again...

As for Xiao Xiao, after driving the pig out, he immediately closed the door.

She still felt that it was not safe, so she found a wooden stick to prop up the door, then she leaned on the door and looked out through the crack.

Fortunately, to protect against wild beasts, although the doors and windows at home are a little rough in workmanship, they are still very strong.

She was particularly regretful now that there were no windows here, and she couldn't escape even if she wanted to. When he saw that Xiao Youfu had injured all three of them and that he couldn't hold on anymore and sat down on the ground, Xiao Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, took away the stick and opened the door.

Liu and the others went out faster than Xiao Xiao. The strong smell of blood mixed with the rain spread everywhere, making them want to vomit.

But at this moment, Xiao Youfu was more important. They ignored their nausea and helped Xiao Youfu into the house.

"Xiu'er, you go boil water and make ginger soup." Mrs. Liu said with trembling all over, then opened the cabinet to find clothes for him: "Husband, you have to change your clothes!"

This is the first time that Xiao Youfu has really killed someone. In the past, he only led others to beat people until they were bloody.

After all, his business is all about money rather than life.

Before, he held on for the life of his family, but now that the crisis was over, he was so frightened that he slumped down on the bamboo recliner.

"I'm fine!" Xiao Youfu quickly recovered: "Pour me a bowl of wine first!"

The pig, which was originally running around, now has no strength and is curled up in the corner.

He wiped his face, took the bowl of Shao Knife handed over by Mrs. Liu and drank it in one gulp, then went out and dragged the three lifeless people in the yard into the pig pen.

He wasn't planning to come back anyway, and was planning to light the pigsty on fire when he left.

Then he carefully tied the pig's trotters with a rope. As the pig screamed unwillingly, he took a butcher's knife, rode on the pig and stabbed it neatly.

Xiao Xiu and Xiao Lian also boiled hot water and helped shave the pig hair.

Xiao Xiao was boiling water and drinking ginger soup in the kitchen. When she saw her two sisters helping to shave pig hair, she had to admire their skills.

However, it is a good thing that they did not collapse. This is thanks to the fact that the family is a butcher of pigs. In the past, when their second uncle slaughtered pigs, they would often help him.

The smell of blood seemed to be wafting in the air. She endured her nausea and began to think about it in her mind.

When Xiao Wei and the others came back, she happened to go to the reservoir to collect the fish baskets and saw that they all carried bows and arrows.

Fortunately, they were arrogant and felt that their own family was no match for them, so they did not plan to ambush and assassinate them with bows and arrows.

Now Xiao Xiao is concerned about their bows and arrows.

But now she was like a frightened bird, and she didn't dare to go out at will.

By the time the pigs were cleaned up, it was already more than an hour later.

Xiao Xiao waited for Xiao Youfu to come out after bathing and freshening up, and first gave him a bowl of hot ginger soup. He smiled flatteringly and said, "Dad, you have worked hard. Fortunately, dad is here at home to protect us."

When Xiao Youfu saw his little daughter looking at him with admiration, all the fatigue in his body disappeared without a trace in an instant. He puffed up his chest and said, "It's right for dad to protect you. As long as dad is here, you can feel at ease."

Although he was very scary before, his wife and daughters all know how powerful he is and feel that he is reliable.

Thinking of this, his heart was on fire as if he had drunk two kilograms of burning knives.

Xiao Xiao nodded in agreement: "Dad is the most powerful."

Then she looked at him expectantly: "Dad, they brought bows and arrows when they came back. I can also use bows and arrows. Can you accompany me to Xiao Wei's house?"

Xiao Youfu refused: "It's still raining outside, don't go out, dad can go!"

Xiao Xiao was originally worried that he would refuse her proposal to 'get' the loot, but she didn't expect that he would be so smart and go out wearing a hat and raincoat without even having to act coquettishly.

She just happened to be too lazy to go out, so she smiled like a dog: "Thank you, Dad, thank you for your hard work."
