On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 53 Escape 2
  Fortunately, the woman who was supposed to be guarding the hanging flower door did not know whether she was slacking off or putting out the fire, so she was not at her post, allowing them to run out smoothly.

Unfortunately, before running a few steps, he bumped into a young guard.

He looked at them warily: "Where are you going? Don't you know that women can't leave the house?"

Xiao Xiao was anxious and wise: "Mother Li asked us to find more doctors. Why don't you go in quickly? It will be a disaster if someone discovers you?"

The guards had sneaked out to handle private matters. After hearing her words, they didn't bother to question them: "Thank you, sister!"

The three women opposite were all in a miserable state. The white one was dripping with powder, and the other two were so dirty that it was hard to see what they looked like.

It can be seen that the fire inside is very serious.

He also rushed inside, fearing that the steward would find out that he was lazy.

The Xiao sisters ran forward again and saw the boy guarding the gate, still using the same excuse.

The boy didn't think much and asked them to leave through a side door.

After they ran away, he rubbed the back of his head with worry and said to himself: "Shouldn't we ask the doctor to run errands? How can we let the sisters go?"

But he was young after all, and he looked worriedly at the inner courtyard where the fire broke out: "It's been dry and dry recently, and the fire will be difficult to control. I hope no one will die."

The inner courtyard was far away from the outside, so he had no idea what was going on.

The three sisters of the Xiao family who finally escaped did not dare to stop. They kept running for a long distance and only stopped when they ran out of energy.

House seemingly endless rain.

They were just leaning in the alley panting to regain their strength. Not far away, a man staggered over. When he saw them, he turned around and ran away: "Mom, there is a ghost!"

The three sisters, who originally thought they were going to fight with their disciple when they met him, were stunned. They didn't know whether they should be happy or aggrieved.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help laughing again: "In order to avoid encountering a blind drunk again, we still have to find a place to rest for the night. Let's find an inn first?"

It is really inconvenient for women to walk outside.

Fortunately, they met a drunk this time. If they met several men who came out to have fun, they would be in trouble.

Even though they were a bit sloppy now, they were afraid of meeting a gangster with no money and picking up three girls for free, so they couldn't care less about how embarrassed they looked at the moment.

Xiao Xiu couldn't hide her worry: "It's too eye-catching for us to go to the inn like this."

"Sister is right." Xiao Xiao also reacted: "Whether that bastard is dead or not, martial law will definitely be enforced. We have to deal with it first."

Xiao Lian handed the small package she had been carrying to them: "I brought out two sets of clothes for the mistress."

Fortunately, the clothes are thin now, the package is not big, and it is night, so it is not obvious.

"Second sister, you are so awesome." After Xiao Xiao unwrapped the package, he hesitated about the two sets of clothes.

Xiao Xiu hurriedly said: "Just put it on."

"Sister, it's too obvious," Xiao Lian couldn't refuse: "You and my little sister can just change."

Xiao Xiao rolled his eyes and finally said: "Okay, I have a good idea..." This commotion is probably already in the middle of the night. All the shops on the street have been closed, and the only one that has not been closed is Unseemly places and inns.

Xiao Xiao gently pushed open the door of the inn and saw that the young accountant behind the counter was also lying on the counter asleep. He made a gesture to let in the two sisters who were hiding outside.

After they tiptoed to hide on the second floor, Xiao Xiao quietly exited and pushed the door open again. The accountant who had dozed off in surprise also woke up. When he saw a guest coming, he subconsciously put on a smile and said, "Girl, how many of you are there?" ?”

Xiao Xiao smiled bitterly: "I followed the young master out, but the young master was dragged to drink wine by his friends. I am not familiar with this place and fell down twice, so I can only come and get a guest room first, and then go to see the young master tomorrow. "

The main reason is that they are all dirty, especially the eldest sister. They must find a place to bathe in order to wash off the white flour all over their bodies.

That inn is actually the best place to stay.

Even if the people in the Sheng Mansion were conducting a thorough investigation, they would never have thought that they would dare to hide in the inn.

The cashier did not suspect that she was talking, but instead sympathized with her: "The herringbone number is one hundred cents a night, and there are still vacancies."

"I want a high-end room. I'm afraid I'll have to wait until the escort brings the young master back." Xiao Xiao took the opportunity to take off the silver hairpin from her head and put it on the counter: "Can I use this first?"

The main reason is that the herringbone-shaped rooms are too small and do not provide hot water. Moreover, if the police come to check, they will be more respectful to the distinguished guests staying in the Tian-shaped rooms and do not dare to check too carefully.

Therefore, she would rather spend more money to buy peace of mind.

Anyway, this silver hairpin was given to her by Mother Li earlier along with the clothes, so she didn't feel bad about using it.

The accountant picked up the hairpin and weighed it. It must be at least one or two, so he happily agreed and took out the book to register: "What's the girl's name?"

Xiao Xiao was not in the mood to think about it, and said casually: "My name is Cuihua, Cui from Kingfisher, Hua from Hua."

The accountant felt sorry for her. Why was such a pretty girl given such an ordinary name by her master?
  I guess her young master is a drunkard, right?
  After registering, he locked the drawer and closed the door of the inn, then led her upstairs and opened one of the vacant rooms: "Girl, the room in the Tianzi room is one tael of silver a night, and you can still eat in the morning." A free breakfast.”

"Thank you, brother!" Xiao Xiao said to him sheepishly, "Can you prepare some hot water for me? My young master Aijie will punish me if he sees me like this."

The cashier agreed happily: "Okay, girl, wait."

After watching the accountant go downstairs, Xiao Xiu and Xiao Lian slipped into the room and quickly locked down the door before they felt safe.

"My dear, the place here is so big." Xiao Lian, who had never seen the world, walked around: "There are actually two rooms and a living room. The bedding inside is all made of fine cotton, and the tables, chairs and benches are also beautiful. It’s brand new, so why does it cost one tael of silver to stay a night?”

Xiao Xiu also nodded: "When the waiter comes up, we will hide in the room."

It was also the first time for Xiao Xiao to live in a room in Tianzihao. It was also an eye-opener for Grandma Liu when she entered the Grand View Garden: "Look here, there is a toilet, a wooden basin, a big bathtub, two buckets of clean water, and a bathtub." Where’s the beans?”

They all looked clean, no smell at all, and everything was well prepared.

When Xiao Lian heard the sound, she hurried over and her eyes lit up: "I want to take a bath later!"

Xiao Xiao's cleanliness habit is deep-rooted and pops up whenever she gets the chance: "What if the guest in front of this room is a man and takes a bath here..."

When Xiao Lian followed what she said, goosebumps appeared, and she immediately begged for mercy: "Please stop talking! I won't take a bath!"

"That's not the case," Xiao Xiao quickly changed his words under the death stares of his two sisters: "Hahaha, I'm just kidding, just wash it with hot water first!"
