I opened a treasure chest on the road to escape

Chapter 45 Encountering the Army
  "these are……"

Chen Chuxue opened four or five orange treasure boxes and took out the contents.

The pile of things dazzled Geng Xiaoyan and others.

"These are shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrush..."

Chen Chuxue classified the things while introducing them, and finally prescribed toiletries. She couldn't brush her teeth these days and was so uncomfortable.

Moreover, the hair is covered with dust and there is no way to maintain it. Fortunately, toiletries are now prescribed.

"This is toothpaste, toothbrush, for brushing your teeth in the morning..."

Uncle Geng and others naturally knew what toothpaste and toothbrushes were, but they had never seen one before, so they were a little surprised.

"This is facial cleanser, shampoo, shower gel, conditioner..."

Chen Chuxue introduced all the toiletries. They were all packed in a box.

Not only that, there are also children's versions of shampoo, shower gel, etc., and even talcum powder.

With these things, at least you can keep your body clean, and at least you can avoid getting sick.

In ancient times, if you caught a cold, it was a terminal illness.

The second box was undoubtedly food, half a pig, a few fish, and then some fresh vegetables, and of course, the condiments that Chen Chuxue couldn't forget.

"Now we can finally cook."

Chen Chuxue couldn't help but said happily, there are pork, fish, and fresh vegetables, and at least a few home-cooked dishes can be stir-fried.

Naturally, Geng Xiaoyan's mouth watered. As long as it was about food, Geng Xiaoyan would automatically make up for the taste.

The third treasure chest contains some toys.

Children’s educational toys in previous lives, such as building blocks, puzzles, Barbie dolls, and even playing cards, etc…

Now, Xiaoyue won't be bored anymore.

Chen Chuxue took out the toys and asked Xiaoyue how to play with them, and then Geng Xiaoyan and Xiaoyue played with gusto.

Seeing this, Aunt Geng couldn't help but shook her head and turned to cook. Chen Chuxue also followed and told Aunt Geng the recipes she knew.

Then, we cooked a rich meal in the evening.

Fried pork with chili.

Hot and sour cabbage.

Beef stew with potatoes.

The rich meal made the three Geng family's eyes brighten. They had never eaten such rich food during the years of famine.

Even before the famine, I had never eaten it.

After dinner, Chen Chuxue led everyone to play cards. As for what they were playing, it was of course Landlords.

Chen Chuxue and Xiaoyue joined forces. She originally thought that she could definitely defeat them after playing such a game in her previous life.

Who knew, the final winner turned out to be Aunt Geng.

Fortunately, they were just having fun and didn't bring any money, otherwise Chen Chuxue would have lost miserably tonight.

So, she changed the game.

Touch the turtle.

This tests your mental ability and expression management ability.

Every time Geng Xiaoyan touched Chen Chuxue's trick card, she showed great nervousness, but Geng Xiaoyan was fooled.

Geng Xiaoyan originally wanted to be like Chen Chuxue, but was easily discovered by Aunt Geng.

In the end, Geng Xiaoyan's nose was scratched red.

I have to say that everyone had a great time playing with what was found in the treasure chest this time.

…………

The next day, everyone got up early in the morning and started on their way after breakfast.

"It happened!"

Chen Chuxue stopped the tricycle, her face was not very good, and she was out of gas.

Uncle Geng and others also looked unhappy when they saw this. They had promised to use sparingly, but they still forgot about it.

Now there is no gas. Then if they encounter danger next time, it may be difficult for them to escape.

Moreover, Chen Chuxue opened many treasure boxes, but no gasoline was found.

After all, what can be obtained can only depend on luck, but unfortunately, the luck is not good.

"We can only go to the town ahead to see..."

Chen Chuxue sighed. She knew that there was no gasoline in this world, but there was definitely oil.

Then just find a way to turn oil into gasoline.

First, though, you have to find the gas.

"There is a box in front of you, go check it out first!"

Chen Chuxue thought silently in her heart, hoping to be able to drive out gasoline this time, but she actually felt that there was little hope.

Because it's an orange treasure chest.

Gasoline should be found in a golden treasure chest!
  But maybe not necessarily.

With this thought in mind, she quickly found the treasure chest and opened it easily.

To her dismay, it wasn't gasoline.

But a few telescopes, a few desk lamps, a few flashlights...

Chen Chuxue put away these things with some disappointment, but did not show any joy. She sighed, "That town doesn't know..."

"I'll take a look at that town first then..."

Uncle Geng said, obviously afraid that what happened in Anping Town would happen again. After all, they no longer have tricycles to use.

Da da da!
  However, before Chen Chuxue and others could speak, they heard footsteps coming from a distance, and their expressions suddenly changed.

She quickly took out the telescope she just got and looked into the distance, only to see a group of troops in armor coming in their direction.

Chen Chuxue then handed the binoculars to Uncle Geng. After reading it, his expression suddenly changed.

"Come on..."

Liu Wei said before that the imperial court sent troops everywhere to suppress the uprisings of the disaster victims, and these troops now should be one of them.

If they found out, they might be suppressed like a disaster victim. Therefore, Uncle Geng didn't dare to stay, so he quickly reminded Chen Chuxue to leave quickly.

At this time, everyone's hearts sank to the bottom. After all, the tricycle was gone, otherwise they would have been able to leave quickly.

I just hope I can make it in time, after all, they are still far away.

Da da da!
  however.

As soon as they finished their thoughts, they heard the sound of horse hooves, and their expressions suddenly changed.

Several people looked up and saw the army in the distance, with several people galloping towards them on horses.

No matter how fast a person runs, he is still not as fast as a horse.

Therefore, several people were quickly caught up.

"Are you sure?"

Aunt Geng suddenly spoke in a low voice. Uncle Geng instantly understood what his wife meant, and then looked at Chen Chuxue.

Chen Chuxue also reacted and knew that Aunt Geng meant to use a crossbow or grenade to deal with the people running over.

"They're more than just two horses..."

Chen Chuxue smiled bitterly and said, after looking through the binoculars just now, in addition to the two horses running over, there were many more in the army.

In other words, even if they kill the two people who run over, others will come on horseback to kill them.

"We have to adapt to circumstances."

Uncle Geng sighed, Chen Chuxue took out a grenade and handed it to Uncle Geng, then took out a smoke grenade and handed it to Geng Xiaoyan.

Then she handed Xiaoyue to Aunt Geng and asked her to help take care of it, so that she could free her hands to take out the weapon from the space.

After knowing that they could not leave, several people stood and waited for the two soldiers to come.

Da da da!
  As the sound of horse hooves approached, the expressions of Chen Chuxue and others changed drastically, because the two soldiers had blood on their bodies, and the blood was not yet dry, so they had obviously just experienced a killing.

This made Uncle Geng couldn't help but hold the grenade in his hand tightly. Whenever something went wrong, he would throw the grenade out.
