On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Besides, the third Xiao sister and Xiao Dalang also drove the mule cart into the city early in the morning.

They went to visit the prison first.

The two jailers guarding the outside were not tall, but they had rough faces and looked very difficult to deal with.

Seeing the four young men coming over, they frowned angrily: "Stop, what are you doing!"

The main reason was that they were all wearing old and stale clothes, and they were carrying backpacks and bamboo baskets. It looked like they couldn't squeeze out any oil or water, so of course they were impatient.

Xiao Dalang handed them the bamboo basket he was carrying and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, you two adults. We bought some wine and food for you."

The jailer opened the leaf covering it and saw a golden roasted chicken and a large piece of pig head meat inside. He felt better: "Who do you want to go in to see?"

Once again, I was secretly grateful for my fatness.

When I was young and ignorant, I thought that the jailers were not as dignified as the yamen servants. It was only when I started working that I realized that the jailers were rich in money and wealth.

Regardless of whether it is a fight, a gangster, or a local scoundrel, after being arrested and imprisoned, people will come to visit the prison more or less, and you will never be able to get in with bare hands.

"My uncle and my father were arrested yesterday. Their surname is Xiao..."

The jailer frowned: "This is not easy to handle. Someone from above specially said hello."

Xiao Dalang took out a small cloth bag from Xiao Xiao's backpack and begged for help with red eyes: "Sir, this is the two taels of silver that our family has collected. Please be merciful..."

It was very pleasant for the jailers to hear him speak like an adult.

Besides, they were reluctant to turn away people who offered meat and money.

Seeing that the two taels of silver were all in pieces, we knew that their family was not wealthy and could not squeeze out much money.

"Okay, I'll take you in for a look." The jailer checked what they brought according to the rules.

Several pieces of patched clothes, shoes and socks, and more than ten steamed buns.

Their clothes were too old and they were not interested in them, and they were unwilling to eat steamed buns even if they had meat to eat. Therefore, the jailer rarely led them in without taking advantage of them.

In a prison, the windows are definitely not bright and clean.

It was dark, damp and smelly inside, and rats could be seen scurrying around on the road leading to the cell.

The jailer also deliberately turned his head back, wanting to see the girls panic and lose their beauty.

He discovered early on that these three girls were all good-looking, but they did not dare to mess around. It was said that a jailer bullied a woman who came to visit the prison more than ten years ago, and the woman eventually died in the cell.

When something like this happened, the county magistrate was so angry that he scolded the cell leader and locked up the offending jailer.

But even so, after the woman's man was released from prison, he still killed all eleven members of the jailer's family.

The scene was truly horrific, and even thinking about it now makes them feel chills on their backs and goosebumps all over their bodies.

Therefore, even if they saw three young women, they did not dare to do anything excessive.

I just want to watch the excitement.

Maybe the rat also knew what the jailer was thinking and was willing to fulfill him. A huge rat jumped out.

In this dark place, the mouse was very courageous. Maybe it was a male mouse that liked to pursue different races, and it even rushed towards Xiao Lian blindly.

The jailer covered his ears with experience and opened his eyes in excitement...

Seeing the mouse blocking the road, Xiao Lian raised her foot and kicked the fat mouse away. She swallowed: "There must be at least half a catty of meat. You still remember that last time on the road, we wrapped it in rice dumpling leaves and threw it in the fire pit. The rat meat underground is so delicious..."

Jailer: "..." Suddenly he was glad that his hands and feet were safe, otherwise he would have been worried about his personal safety.

The jailer led them to the cell door: "I'll give you a quarter of an hour."

After saying that, turn around and leave, otherwise he will be afraid.

There were four people in a cell. The Xiao brothers were sitting in a dark corner. After hearing the noise, they looked up and saw that they were very excited: "San'er, have you driven the mule cart home?"

Xiao Xiao didn't expect that his cheap dad would ask this first: "Don't worry, dad, we've already rushed back."

Xiao Xiu and the others also stuffed the things they brought through the village gate: "It's getting cold now, so you have to dress warmly."

"There are still ten steamed buns here." Xiao Dalang took out a few oil paper bags from under his backpack: "Dad, uncle, these are snacks. You can eat them. We will go to Jiang's house later and ask Mrs. Jiang for help."

It is impossible to feed prisoners well in a cell.

Last night and this morning, there was only clear soup and little water, and Mr. Xiao's stomach was already growling with hunger.

He picked up a steamed bun, gnawed on it, and said vaguely: "To find Old Mrs. Jiang, why not go to Old Mrs. Jiang?"

Xiao Dalang nodded vigorously: "Okay, let's go to Jiang Mansion."

Then he looked at Xiao Laoer and said, "Dad, don't worry, we will definitely rescue you."

Xiao Laoer was also devouring the steamed buns. He couldn't think of a good idea anyway, so he said casually: "I believe you, can you bring steamed buns next time?"

Xiao Dalang was a little at a loss.

When he came, he was ready to hug his father and cry.

As a result, his own father disliked him for bringing steamed buns instead of steamed buns?

Xiao Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was previously worried that her cheap daddy and second uncle would be eager to go out, but now that they didn't have any urgent words, she felt much more at ease.

"The main reason is that the buns will taste bad." Xiao Xiao glanced at the other two inmates hiding in the corner and knew that his father and his second uncle could rely on force to prevent them from grabbing the food: "The wronged father and his second uncle will Just have something to eat, and when we get out, we’ll go to a restaurant for a big dinner.”

Xiao Lian also asked eagerly: "Dad, if you need anything urgently, we can bring it in for you later."

"No more." Boss Xiao panicked after eating a steamed bun and finally stopped being hungry. He asked about the situation at home and warned them: "Now that we are away, we have to rely on you brothers and sisters to support the family."

"If the people next door come to provoke you, just treat them as barking dogs and don't argue with them."

Then he lowered his voice: "Be especially careful at night, I'm afraid they will climb over the wall and enter our house."

"If you really catch someone, beat him until his parents don't even recognize him, and then call our house a thief."

"It's best not to fight with them until we get out."

A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and the jailer came to urge them to leave.

After leaving the prison, they returned to the mule cart parked far away and prepared to go to Jiang's house.

Xiao Dalang drove the mule cart and asked them: "This is our first visit. Do you want to buy some cakes or something?"

"No," Xiao Xiao flatly refused: "Something happened to my father and my second uncle, and we were so panicked that we couldn't remember these little things."

They're not really guests.

It's the kind of uninvited guest who might be kicked out. Why waste money?

Xiao Xiu also nodded in agreement: "San'er is right, we will go in later, Dalang, just wait for us outside."
