On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 84 Escape 1

Xiao Xiao quickly swam to the edge of the reed field. When he looked back, he saw that the boat they had chartered was now brightly lit. Song Biaotou and the others were still resisting the water bandits, their swords intersecting.

I just hate that her eyes were so good that she could see at least twenty water bandits boarding the boat.

Okay, she had to admit that the escort was really making money with his life.

When nothing happened, they could eat, drink, and chat together. But now that something happened, they could only fight for their lives.

Originally, her father had a good relationship with the escorts and wanted to join the escort agency, but now it seems that he can give up his idea without having to say anything.

She tried her best to keep her eyes open, but she didn't see anyone swimming from behind.

Xiao Xiao thought that she was the last one in her family to enter the water, and it seemed that they had already hid in the reed field.

I wonder if Hou Er and Jiang Yu escaped?

For not saving herself, her silent guilt was thrown out of her mind in a second.

At the moment of life and death, she wanted to survive.

Now she is also scared, wondering if she can beat her family members?

She didn't dare to go ashore because she was afraid that she would be unlucky and that a bite from a poisonous snake would kill her.

I can't think about it, I get goosebumps all over my body when I think about it, nothing is right.

Just when she was worried about how to walk, there were light footsteps not far away, which scared her so much that she quickly turned around and swam farther away, took a deep breath, and was prepared to dive into the water if something went wrong.

"Da Ya, Xiao San'er, is that you?"

When Xiao Xiao heard the voice of Boss Xiao, it was like the sound of nature, and she quickly swam over: "Dad, it's me."

Boss Xiao blew up the fire and called to her: "San'er, come up quickly."

After Xiao Xiao went up, Boss Xiao put the same wet clothes on her body, and did not forget to praise: "Fortunately, your mother didn't panic when things happened, and she even brought some clothes with her."

After diving, it is a matter of life and death. Swimming in the water is not very cold. Now when we come up, the southeast, northwest and northwest winds are so strong that it can make people shiver with cold.

It would be easier if I was given dry clothes.

But adding a wet suit, apart from adding some weight, she didn't think it would help keep her warm.

Maybe you can give yourself some psychological comfort?

Xiao Xiao wished she could shrink into a ball: "Is mom okay? Are our family members together?"

Boss Xiao tried his best to look at the water with his eyes wide open, and said dullly: "Your eldest sister hasn't arrived yet, and Erlang hasn't come either yet. The other people are all together."

If his two daughters hadn't come, why wouldn't he be waiting here?

After finishing speaking, he remembered that he had missed one person: "Lin Xuan is also missing."

Looking at the ship in the distance, it is impossible to see which side has the upper hand.

He couldn't help but sigh: "I hope they will all be well."

Xiao Xiao was surprised: "Why didn't eldest sister come? Did she come here before me?"

Xiao Xiu's water skills are very good, but her two younger sisters are naughty and want to splash in the reservoir even if they can't walk.

Anyway, her two younger sisters learned how to swim.

Before she learned how to swim, she was rescued by Xiao Xiu several times?

Even Xiao Xiao has to admit that whether it is the original body or Xiao Xiao himself, he may not be able to compete with her in the water.

As soon as Boss Xiao heard this, he felt half relieved: "Da Ya has good water properties. If she got into the water before you, it may be that she went in the wrong direction."

Then he asked Xiao Xiao to follow him: "Let's go back first. Your mother will feel more at ease when she sees you."

Maybe it was his luck that he didn't carry it home. After Xiao Xiao walked for five or six minutes in fear, he saw the Xiao family sitting in a pile of straw. Everyone in the Xiao family saw that it was a sister of the Xiao family who had divorced her daughter, so they were very happy to see her and greeted her in all directions.

Xiao Xiao also told everyone what he saw, and finally sighed with regret: "I just don't know if Mr. Jiang and Hou Er are safe now? It was thanks to Hou Er that I was able to escape smoothly."

Feeling a little guilty.

Mrs. Xiao comforted her: "Oh, it's not your fault. Who told that kid not to know how to paddle?"

"That's right, you would be stupid if you stayed, and you would have wasted your life." After Wu said that, she urged Xiao Laoer: "Go to the waterside and keep an eye on it, and go and take care of our Erlang and Xiu'er."

She didn't dare to order Boss Xiao, but she was also worried that her second son would have to order her own man.

Xiao Dalang rushed to get up: "Mom, let me go!"

Xiao Xiao sat in a pile of straw, shivering to keep warm when he was cold. Seeing his father still blowing the fire, he grabbed a handful of straw and said, "There is a pile of straw here, that means someone is farming. There should be a village nearby, right?"

Old man Xiao was already weaving straw. He was so skilled at this job that he didn't even need to look.

Hearing this, he was a little worried: "This place is not peaceful. What if the people here are together with the water bandits?"

He was really scared.

Thanks to the cleverness of Jin'er's three granddaughters, otherwise they would have been stuck on the boat and the whole family would have been on the road to hell.

They are two old bones, and they are gone if they are gone, but they are reluctant to let anything happen to their children and grandchildren.

"It shouldn't be possible, right?" Xiao Xiao put herself into the water bandit industry and felt that it was unlikely: "For a water bandit to do one job, he must have at least an income of more than a hundred taels or thousands of taels of silver."

"This business without capital is all pure profit. Are they too lazy to work hard in farming?"

Boss Xiao nodded quickly after hearing this: "Yes, if it were me, I wouldn't want to farm. I won't make much money all year round, and I'm still very tired."

After saying that, he stood up quickly: "You guys wait here, I'll go ahead and make a fire dumpling first, otherwise I'm afraid I'll get sick from the cold."

The main reason is that he is afraid that his wife will catch the cold. Besides, she is pregnant and I am deeply afraid that something will happen to her.

Otherwise, he would be too lazy to move in the middle of the night?

Xiao Xiao is now burying herself in a pile of straw and doesn't want to move. She can only verbally support: "Dad, be careful on the road."

I hope he has better luck and can find the village.

"You stay with your mother." Boss Xiao picked up the knife and walked out.

Mrs. Liu was also in the straw pile next to Xiao Xiao. After hearing this, she also told him: "Be careful yourself."

Their money was always carried close to their bodies, wrapped in oil paper and sewn into their clothes.

Now she finally understands what her younger daughter meant when she said that money is not everything.

Lin Long, who was also hiding in the straw pile, couldn't bear it anymore and asked with a choked voice: "Auntie, my sister will be fine, right?"

She was carried by Xiao Dalang and swam over.

But she had also heard from Xiao Xiao before that when they encountered water bandits, Xiao Xiao pushed her sister away.

Xiao Xiao comforted her: "Your sister can also dig a few times, and nothing will happen to her. Maybe she is with my eldest sister now?"

I had asked the Lin sisters before and knew that Lin Xuan knew how to swim, but now that she was older and hadn't swum for a long time, she asked Xiao Xiao to give her a hand so that she could get used to it.

Besides, in that situation, if she could push Lin Xuan away instead of letting her block the knife, she felt that she had done her best.
