On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Mrs. Liu also said with red eyes: "You all know why the original uncle of this family sold the house to us. Is it because he couldn't live in it anymore and was forced to leave his hometown?"

"The huge movement of oil extraction has prevented us from having a good night's sleep in the past few days."

Everyone watching the excitement also agreed in their hearts that the Xiao family was innocent, but since the Xiao family were outsiders, they must protect the villagers.

So you and I tried to persuade each other: "Then you can't hit people either."

Mrs. Wu howled: "Is there any justice? She did not succeed in asking for a hand in marriage for her son. She was the one who took action first."

After hearing the news, the fourth Xu family also hurried over. When they heard this, their eyes were full of gossip: "I heard that my sister-in-law is here to propose marriage?"

Thinking of what he had said to slander the girls of the Xiao family in front of his younger brothers and sisters, the third member of the Xu family quickly said: "They bully others too much. They don't take us seriously."

The fourth Xu family member is very upright: "That's right, even if my sister-in-law is wrong, it's not your turn to teach her a lesson."

Xu Laosan's family didn't feel relieved, and felt that she didn't speak for them.

The fourth member of Mr. Xu's family said arrogantly: "Even if the dogs in our village bite people, it's not the turn of outsiders like you to take care of them."

Xu Laosan's family lowered their faces and signaled to their two daughters-in-law to help them back quickly.

If she continued to listen to her siblings who were attacking her indiscriminately, she was afraid that she would not be able to help but hit them.

The Xiao family has finally learned how to be xenophobic in the village.

It's no wonder that people nowadays don't like to leave their hometowns, because they are afraid that others will be inferior to others.

Xiao Xiao and the others drove the mule cart and came back earlier than the Xu family. Except for the Wu family, they all went to the bamboo forest.

So when I came back at noon, I found out what the evil neighbor next door was doing.

Xiao Lian was very angry: "I won't go out in the afternoon. If they still dare to come, I will shoot them with bows and arrows."

When Old Man Xiao heard this, he hurriedly scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? Fights are common in the countryside. If you use bows and arrows, others will take advantage of you."

What's more, the eldest brother and Dalang were hunting in the mountains, and the second brother also had lunch in the bamboo forest in order to hide from others.

The three of them were not at home, and if a fight really broke out, he was afraid that his granddaughters would suffer.

At the end of the afternoon, Xiao Lao and Xiao Lao Er came back carrying bamboo baskets, followed by Da Lang carrying bamboos.

It looks like it came back from pioneering wasteland.

When I meet someone, I tell them it’s the Mid-Autumn Festival and I’m going to come back early.

In fact, they were lucky today. They encountered a group of wild muntjacs, and they shot six of them.

Fortunately, the bamboo basket we picked out was extra large so we could fit it in.

He just wanted to take it to an inn in the city while it was still fresh, and he could get at least eight or nine taels of silver, which made him happy just thinking about it.

Wu originally wanted to complain to them, but when she heard such a good harvest, she urged them with a smile on her face: "Then you go back quickly."

Mrs. Liu took two mooncakes they bought from the kitchen, filled a gourd of boiling water and handed them to Xiao Xiao: "Send them to your father."

"Then I'll go with dad, too? I want to buy something, and I can talk to dad on the way." Xiao Xiao also wanted to buy something, and was going to try making soap by herself.

She felt that the income from being a hunter was too unstable, and the village was not a long-term residence, so she had to earn more money and move out quickly.

The smaller and more remote the place, the more exclusive it is. In towns, where there are many people, they are more tolerant of outsiders. In her previous life, she also made essential oil soap with Master B, adding milk, honey, etc. Although the shelf life is short, it still sells well.

It's a pity that there is no lye now. She does know that plant ash can produce alkali, but she is not sure about the amount and needs to do more experiments.

So I plan to go to the city to buy a few more types of saponins, soaps, and bath beans. First, check out other people’s ones. The easiest way is to buy them and melt them before pouring them into molds.

Boss Xiao was very pleased after hearing this: "Xiao San'er is filial, so let her accompany me?"

Then he called Xiao Laoer: "You also come with me to get acquainted. If I have something to do in the future, you can also go and see it off for me."

This trip would take at least more than two hours, so Boss Xiao didn't dare to delay.

Let’s talk about the Xu family. Xu Laosan went out to sell soybean oil and came back. When he heard that his mother-in-law was beaten by the Xiao family, he couldn’t sit still because he wanted to save face.

"It's unreasonable, it's shameless!" Xu Laosan said sullenly: "Since they don't eat the toast and have to drink as a penalty, then don't blame me for being rude."

He went back to his room to get the money, asked his third son to drive the bullock cart, and sent him to his sister's house, where he was going to let his nephew help him vent his anger.

Of course, his nephew also had to run some official duties, so asking for help would earn him at least ten taels of silver.

But it doesn't matter, since the wool comes from the sheep anyway, and the Xiao family has a good fortune, and they can make several times the money.

His nephew's name is Luo Lei, and he is a clerk in the county government office.

Although a county government office is small, it is well-equipped. The people in the third and sixth shifts are civil servants and are not officials and have no rank. However, one percent of the county's tax revenue is enough to support the entire county government staff.

Even though Luo Lei was just a clerk in the county government office, projects, construction, farming, water conservancy, etc. all required their signature before they could be carried out.

After hearing what his uncle said, he hesitated: "Uncle, are you sure they hunt in private?"

"I'm sure," Xu Laosan handed him ten taels of silver: "If you treat a few people to a meal, give them some money for their hard work, and ask them to go in and search, they will definitely find bows and arrows."

She winked at him again: "We can search for the knife, don't you think?"

Luo Lei immediately understood that he was being asked to do something. After some refusal, he was still forced to pay, so he was also happy: "Then I will find four brothers to go with me."

Nowadays, the management is so strict that they have no chance to make extra money recently.

He felt that it was generous enough for him to treat four government servants to a meal and give them two taels of silver each.

If you have more contacts, the favors will be yours, and you will be able to speak up if you have something to do in the future.

Therefore, he specially found a few servants who were not on duty and invited them to the inn for dinner.

It was also the bad luck of Boss Xiao and the others. The inn where they went to sell game happened to be the same one where Luo Lei and the others ate.

At that time, they had almost eaten and drank, and were about to leave for Xutian Village. Xu Laosan went to the back to find the toilet, but happened to see Boss Xiao and the others unloading the wild muntjac from the mule cart and weighing them there.

This is simply like wearing out straw sandals and finding nowhere, and it takes no effort to get there.

He felt that his luck was really good today, so he immediately ran to the front to call for help, and everyone got the stolen goods on the spot.

The well-fed and drunk police officers rushed over quickly and shouted: "You are so bold and unruly, you dare to hunt in private and sell it, and you won't be arrested without mercy."

Boss Xiao almost wanted to touch the knife under the mule cart. At least he still had sense and knew that two fists were no match for four hands, so he subconsciously stepped back.

Xiao Laoer rushed in front of his eldest brother, his whole body tense and trembling as he spoke: "Sir, I secretly went into the mountains to hunt. He is not my accomplice. He was hired to drive the car."
