On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Xiao Xiao and Xiao Dalang each drove a mule cart and carriage and returned to the countryside smoothly.

On a snowy day, ordinary people can finally steal half a day of leisure, warm themselves by the fire at home, and have a good rest.

However, the children were not only not afraid of the cold, they also gathered together to build snowmen and have snowball fights, with clear and cheerful laughter.

Maybe it was because he had seen Xiao Dalang driving a mule cart back and forth a lot during this period, so he didn't pay much attention to them when he saw them. He was still more immersed in the joy of their snowball fight.

After returning to the old house, as soon as the door was closed, Xiao Dalang urged Xiao Xiao: "You go inside first and have a rest while I pack the carriage."

After that, move the stove to the house where Xiao Xiao lived.

When they killed Chunquan and the others, even though they were killed with one arrow, there were still traces of blood flowing down and left in the carriage.

He had to clean it up quickly while no one was around.

"You rest for a while, and I'll pack up the carriage first."

Of course Xiao Xiao would not refuse his kindness.

Although she had not been to the countryside for more than a month, the doors and windows were closed, so it was not very dirty inside.

Xiao Xiao loves to be clean, so she might as well open the window for some fresh air.

Anyway, she would sit in a remote place later, and there would be a small charcoal stove to warm herself up, so it wouldn't be too cold.

Besides, as the old saying goes, it’s really cold when it snows but doesn’t turn cold.

After she opened the window, she huddled by the window, warming herself by the fire, eating the red date cake her eldest brother had brought for her earlier, and admiring the snow scene.

The pastries were cold and she didn't like to eat them. Thinking of her eldest brother buying grain and some potatoes and sweet potatoes, she immediately thought of the fragrant roasted sweet potatoes.

So she went out and asked Xiao Dalang, who was still cleaning the carriage: "Brother, are there any sweet potatoes in the kitchen?"

"Yes, they are all spread out on the ground," Xiao Dalang said without raising his head. "Come here and get the key to my door. Then go to the cabinet in my room to get the key to unlock the door."

There was a lot of rice and noodles in the kitchen, so he carefully kept the keys in his closet.

Xiao Xiao responded, took the key from him, opened his door and entered the house.

As soon as she walked to the cabinet door, she smelled the faint smell of blood on her nose.

Xiao Xiao suspected that he had seen too much blood today and was hallucinating for a moment.

How could there be the smell of blood in this eldest brother's room?

No, when she saw the unclosed window, her heart trembled, and the hairs all over her body stood up. Someone had entered the room.

The injured person? Or someone stained with someone else's blood? Are you here to avoid your enemies alone, or are you trying to figure out the pattern of your elder brother's return and come here to ambush him?

Xiao Xiao glanced at the cabinet in front of her. The lock was hung there, which made her secretly relieved. This meant that she didn't have to worry about anyone coming out of the cabinet.

She felt the dagger tied to her calf again, resisted the urge to run away, tried not to let her nervous expression show up on her face, and still used the key to open the cabinet.

There were only a few old clothes in the cabinet. She found the key and slowly locked the door. In fact, she wanted to prick up her ears and listen.

The room was very quiet, and she seemed to hear her own pounding heartbeat and her own slow breathing.

The disadvantage of having too sensitive ears is that she also heard the shallow breathing of another person.

Xiao Xiao took a deep breath and was about to turn around when he suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder.

Her heart sank, she quickly squatted down, and then swept over with her kick.

This time he really kicked the opponent's calf.

The man made a hissing sound.

But Xiao Xiao's ultimate goal was to take the opportunity to pull out the dagger tied to his calf, aim at the man's waist and stab it hard. It is said that in times of danger, people will unleash their unlimited potential.

Xiao Xiao was extremely quick and precise, and it only took a moment. She felt that she could definitely succeed with one blow.

Unfortunately, the next moment, her hand holding the dagger was grabbed by someone, and the man took the opportunity to get around her behind, making her unable to move.

"Little girl, is it inappropriate to use the dagger I gave you to hurt me?"

In fact, Li Yan was also surprised to see the dagger that once belonged to him here.

A group of spies lurked into Yuhang to assassinate the prince. Fortunately, there were many experts around the prince, so they did not succeed.

And he was the one who was ordered to lead people to hunt down the spies.

After chasing them, they discovered that the other party actually had many secret agents who helped cover them up and counterattack them.

After chasing for three days, both sides suffered heavy casualties. He was accidentally shot in the shoulder by an arrow, which attracted a more violent attack from the opponent.

He also tried his best to escape.

It's a pity that he and his subordinates were separated. Last night, he saw that there were no lights, no human sounds, and no sounds of animals in this house. He quietly climbed over the wall and came in to investigate. He found that there was no one in the house, so he simply took it as his own. A place to stay.

He pulled out the arrow, applied medicine, and prepared to rest for another day. Unexpectedly, the master of the house came back.

He hid in the dark and stared at a little girl coming in. Unexpectedly, she seemed to be aware of his presence.

He had no intention of killing anyone, he just wanted to kidnap the little girl and keep her family quiet.

But he didn't expect that the little girl was so agile. If he hadn't been vigilant, he would have been almost injured by her.

What surprised him even more was that he recognized his dagger.

He had a good memory and instantly thought of the little girl who was chased by a wild boar.

This discovery made him feel relieved. He still remembered that the people in the Xiao family were very enthusiastic towards him.

Moreover, they are courageous and aware of current affairs, so they should not rush themselves out in a panic.

He whispered: "Don't yell, I will let you go."

The disparity in force between the two sides was too great, and Xiao Xiao could only nod.

Besides, if the other party is really the young general who saved her from the wild boar's mouth, then she really can't turn her back on him.

When he let go of her, Xiao Xiao looked back and saw that it was really the young general. However, seeing his red face, she took a step back warily: "You, what's wrong with you?"

She had read a lot of bloody novels in the past. The male protagonists would be subjected to some random things, and what was needed was not an antidote, but a woman.

Seeing that he was blushing like this, he must have been poisoned by that unspeakable medicine, and he would be in danger.

She was still young, and even though he was handsome and had a good family background, she still didn't want to be with him.

Li Yan didn't know that she was thinking too much and had gone all the way, so he said to her: "When I was chasing the prisoner, I was accidentally injured, so I came in to hide for a while. Can you let your father in? I I have something to tell him."

It was impossible for him to tell the truth.

Fortunately, it had snowed since yesterday, covering the traces of his escape.

Just for safety, he left his horse in the big village outside. If someone chased him, he might be able to find traces of him with the horse.

He wanted Miss Xiao's father to help him go to the village outside to see if the horse was still there.
