On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Xiao Laoer knew in his heart that he was not as smart as his eldest brother, nor was he as capable as him.

If two people are caught and there is no backbone in the family, what will the whole family do?

Then he would rather be caught in it and let his eldest brother stay outside so that he can still think of ways to make money for himself.

That's why he took matters into his own hands.

Unfortunately, Xu Laosan came out from behind with his head held high, pointed at them, and performed the bullying very well: "You dare to deceive adults when you are about to die. You are obviously brothers and a family."

Xiao Laoer's face turned pale, and he said stubbornly: "We have separated. I was originally a pig butcher. Of course I can hunt. I just asked him to send me here."

Boss Xiao is now determined to kill Lao San Xu.

But there was a family behind him, so he could only swallow his anger and follow his brother's words: "Yes, we have separated. He asked me to help him bring him to the city today."

He felt that his younger brother was so smart that he took all the blame on himself.

As long as he can get away, he can also find a way to get his brother out.

But the guards had received the benefits and had good food and drink. They didn't listen to their sophistry, but they still stepped forward and tied them up and took away the prey together.

Besides, Xiao Xiao separated from them at the inn. Originally, she wanted to visit the cosmetics and powder shops selling soap locusts, but unfortunately she found that many shops had locked their doors.

The main reason is that people nowadays pay attention to festivals. The Mid-Autumn Festival is also considered a big festival. In the afternoon, the shops are closed one after another and everyone goes back to their homes.

Xiao Xiao also felt that he came at the wrong time, and if he went further, he was afraid of being delayed for too long.

They also have to rush home to have dinner.

So she decided to wait two days before coming back.

She saw someone selling sesame seed cakes and bought three sesame seed cakes for eighteen cents.

The sesame pancakes were a little bigger than her palm, while the Huozao pancakes had a thick and elastic crust. The fillings inside were fatter and thinner pork cubes and prunes. They smelled fragrant and tasted particularly delicious.

Anyway, she is not a wealthy lady now, so she doesn't have to worry about her image, so she eats while walking.

It even provoked several children who were playing crazy and drooled when they saw it.

When she came to the back door, before she went in, she happened to hear what Xu Laosan said.

She paused and simply hid to the side.

Fortunately, the people inside were talking loudly, so she heard what happened.

Then he saw his father and second uncle being forced away by the guards. Behind them, Xu Laosan and a young man openly asked the waiter to send the stolen goods, namely six wild muntjacs, to the Yamen.

Xiao Xiao also clenched her fists and hid in the corner, thinking about how to save people.

They had just arrived and had few friends, let alone the people in the village. They were definitely a hindrance.

She now had two places to turn.

The Wu family, who is related to the county magistrate, and Jiang Yu, who was rescued by his sister.

She also understood now that the Wu family and her family were in love. If she wanted them to help, she had to return the 150 taels of silver that the Wu family had given her before. Only then could the Wu family help.

Otherwise, she would be afraid that the Wu family would be unhelpful if she went to the door to ask for help empty-handed.

Now she regrets that she didn't save Jiang Yu in the first place.

Compared with the gentle, capable and shy eldest sister, she is different. She is thick-skinned and can use the excuse of saving her life to come to the Jiang family on the pretext of committing herself, and take the opportunity to make terms with the Jiang family.

The Jiang family obviously looked down upon them, so they could say that as long as they rescued their father and second uncle, they would not bother Jiang Yu in the future. The Jiang family would definitely be willing to go to great lengths to fish them out.

The village has bad neighbors and is not suitable for long-term living. It was just a good opportunity to ask the Jiang family to get them out.

Anyway, the Jiang family might not want Jiang Yu to see them again in the future.

She was thinking, how about coming to the house and pretending to be someone else?

Or go to the cell to take care of things?

But thinking that she only had one tael of silver with her, she gave up the idea. This little money was not enough to send the servants away.

She hesitated for a moment, then said hello to the old man watching the cart outside, and then drove the mule cart away quickly.

It wasn't that Xu Laosan had forgotten the mule cart. He and his nephew both felt that if the mule cart got into the Yamen, it would be difficult for them to get it out.

I just thought that after catching the person, I could quietly drive the mule cart back to my home, which would make a lot of money.

No one expected that not only the Xiao brothers but also Xiao Xiao would come.

This also meant that Xu Laosan’s trip was in vain.

After Xiao Xiao drove the mule cart home, Xiao Sanlang and Lin Long were nibbling moon cakes at the door and waiting for them to come back. When they saw her, they shouted inside: "Uncle and the others are back."

The whole family wants to know how much money six wild muntjacs can be sold for?

Last time, two wild muntjacs and some wormy pheasants were sold for more than three taels of silver.

Not much was gained in the next few days, and the family was very anxious, but they didn't dare to show it.

Now everyone feels at ease. They feel that having two bumper hunting harvests in a month will give them peace of mind and it will be enough for everyone to live a good life.

When Wu saw that Xiao Xiao was the only one driving in with a dark face, she said quickly: "Where are your second uncle and your father? How can I let you drive?"

After Xiao Xiao got off the carriage, he turned around and closed the far door, then called them in: "I have something to tell you."

It seemed like something had happened, and the smiles on everyone's faces disappeared.

After following Xiao Xiao into the hall and listening to what she said, Mrs. Xiao went limp and sat on the ground helplessly: "God killed me, what should I do?"

"Just in case, put away all the bows, arrows and knives at home." As the cool breeze blew along the way, Xiao Xiao calmed down: "It's best to bury it under the woodshed, in case the guards really come. , if we are found out, who knows what other charges we will be charged with."

Then he looked at his family: "Now I have to ask the Wu family and the Jiang family. I'll go there tomorrow morning. Mom and my second aunt will pack some clothes for my father and my second uncle. I'll find a way to send them in."

Xiao Dalang also said immediately: "I will accompany Third Sister."

Xiao Xiu, Xiao Lian, and Lin Xuan all said in unison: "I'll go too."

Old Man Xiao frowned: "Don't go, Dalang and I will go."

"Grandpa has to stay at home." It's not that Xiao Xiao can't bear her grandfather to beg for help, but she's afraid that he won't be able to perform well if he's around: "I'm afraid that the Xu family will take the opportunity to come and cause trouble at home. It's also important for my grandfather to keep the door open in the Cai family."

"I'll just go with my eldest sister and brother."

The whole family anxiously discussed who to ask for help first.

"How about going to the Wu family?" Xiao Dalang used to get along well with the Wu brothers: "Shall we go to Wu Dalang for help?"

"No, the Jiang family is more reliable." Xiao Erlang retorted: "Brother Jiang can be half the master of the Jiang family. We have saved him at least, and the Jiang family will not refuse to save him."

"I think..."

Mrs. Xiao calmed down, wiped away her tears and went to the kitchen: "Eat first, and then we can discuss it slowly when we are full."

Thank you for your votes, please keep warm when it snows.

This chapter was too strong and was rejected three times. In the end, all the fights were deleted. I revised almost the entire text.

Everyone was confused.
