On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

After Xiao Xiao settled Li Yan, she didn't dare to wear her cloak to show off, so she wrapped herself tightly and went out.

The snow was too thick, and she was not confident in her driving skills, so she still walked to the back house honestly relying on her legs.

The snow is very white and thick. You can see adults sweeping snow on the roofs of houses, and you can also see children rolling in the snow.

But only when you really walk do you realize how tired you are.

One foot got stuck in the snow, and it took a lot of effort to pull it out. In the past, she could reach Houzhai Village in a quarter of an hour, but this time she walked for more than half an hour.

Having walked through the snowy road herself and knowing how difficult it was, she could understand why her eldest brother couldn't come over.

But once we got to the back house, the road became much easier.

Someone used a shovel to remove all the snow from the middle of the road.

Xiao Xiao was sweating all over. He hesitated for a moment, then followed Li Yan's instructions and went to the river to see if his horse was still there.

Thinking that she might see a starved horse after a while, she spent five cents and bought a portion of mochi to calm her panic.

The white and tender mochi, rolled from white sugar, sesame and peanut powder, will make your mouth full of sweetness.

When she walked around the river, she didn't even see a horse rope on the willow tree, let alone a horse.

She saw two little boys wearing patched cotton clothes rolling snowballs. She walked forward and took out eight copper coins: "Little brother, answer me a question, and I will use the money to buy candies for you."

Both little boys were surprised: "Really?"

Xiao Xiao first gave each of them two cents: "I heard there is a horse here?"

"Then you're late." The little boy tightly grabbed the copper coins in her hand, still staring at the coins in her hand, and sniffed: "It was there the day before yesterday, but I didn't see it yesterday morning."

Another boy was more cunning and took the opportunity to bargain with her: "You give us an extra five cents of silver, or buy us a piece of mochi, and I will tell you where the horse went?"

Xiao Xiao readily agreed: "Okay, I'll change the money later and give it to you."

She usually thinks that copper coins take up too much space, so she doesn't take too many with her.

The boy came close to her and whispered: "I heard from my father that he was quietly taken back by the shopkeeper of the car dealership in the town."

A horse tied to a willow tree is really eye-catching.

That's equivalent to eighty taels of silver.

But everyone knows in their hearts that those who can ride horses now are either rich or powerful, and they are certainly not someone they can afford to offend.

Therefore, most people dare not make this idea.

However, there are always second-rate people, or people who are daring, who become wild when they see that this horse has not left even this night.

Xiao Xiao couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this, and she was even fooled by the child.

However, she kept her promise and took them to a small stall selling mochi. She bought them two portions of mochi, and then they started shopping slowly as they thanked her happily.

This was to prevent anyone from following me, and also to take the opportunity to buy some things that I would use at home.

Buy a few more candles, they can be put out now that the weather is cold.

I also bought more square straw paper, some fire folds, and some brown sugar and white sugar before I went to the drug store.

There are only two pharmacies in the back house. In this cold weather, most of the patients suffered from wind and cold, so when they stepped into the pharmacies, they heard coughs one after another.

There was a middle-aged man wearing a blue cotton coat at the door. He was tall and thin, with sharp eyebrows and a curved nose. When he stared at people, it made people feel terrified.

Xiao Xiao's heart trembled, and she immediately lowered her head and used her body and behavior to perfectly interpret what a little quail is. But the man still stared at her and asked, "What medicine are you here to buy?"

Xiao Xiao shivered and said softly: "My brother has caught a cold and has a fever. I'm here to give him medicine. I don't know what medicine I should buy?"

She feels that she has the potential to be a movie star, but it is a pity that the status of actors is not high now, otherwise she would be fed by God.

After hearing what she said, the tall and lanky man stopped staring at her. Instead, he stepped aside and continued to sit down and drink tea.

There was only one doctor in the medicine shop, so there were three patients waiting in line in front of Xiao Xiao to get medicine.

In front of her was a rather cheerful lady. Even if she had a fever, cold and cough, she could not stop her from gossiping. She whispered in a hoarse voice: "Who is this person? Everyone who comes in will be questioned?"

Xiao Xiao speculated in his mind that he might be the one looking for Li Yan, but he didn't reveal anything on his face. He nodded and agreed in a low voice: "It's so scary! He looks like Mr. Cha."

The tall and thin man had sharp ears and eyes. His expression did not change when he heard their words, but he was very restless in his heart.

He was sure that the direction he was following was correct, and he also saw the horse the other party was riding in the horse and carriage stall.

I just regretted that God didn't favor me, but it started to snow in the afternoon the day before yesterday, covering the other party's whereabouts.

However, he was injured and would die if he was not treated as soon as possible.

According to his opinion, there is no need to pursue it any further.

It's a pity that the order given to them by the superiors is to see people alive or dead or corpses.

More than a hundred people were also assigned to begin an expanded search.

Because they suspected that this was the other party's excuse.

The tall and thin man was also sent here by Qianhu to keep an eye on him, so he arranged a better job for himself.

Sitting in the medical center, without being blown by the wind or protected by the snow, I just felt that the people were ignorant, how could I look like an errand?

Can a bad person have his momentum and style?

He is obviously an adult from a hundred families.

When it was Xiao Xiao's turn, the doctor looked at her and was a little puzzled: "Little girl, aren't you doing well?"

"I'm here to prepare medicine for my elder brother." Xiao Xiao looked shy and twisted the corners of his clothes with both hands: "He caught a severe cold and fever. He vomited all the porridge after eating it, and he coughed a few times."

She explained Li Yan's situation as carefully as possible.

But after hearing this, the doctor's face became more solemn: "Then he is very ill. He needs to be consulted before he can prescribe the medicine. Otherwise, the slightest mistake will be a thousand miles away. Why don't you go back and ask your family to send him here?"

You definitely can't come when you come. Once you come, you will never come back.

"My eldest brother wants to save money to get a wife? Even if I kill him, he won't be willing to come." Xiao Xiao didn't hesitate at all and Li Yan said with a sincere look on his face: "Doctor, just follow my instructions and prescribe the medicine?"

After hearing this, the doctor understood. Nowadays, it is not easy for ordinary people to save some money. When they have minor illnesses or pains, they think they can just get over it, and they are reluctant to come to the medical center.

His ugly words came first: "If the patient himself does not come, the prescription may not be accurate."

Xiao Xiao nodded quickly: "It's okay. My brother insisted on marrying a wife in order to save money. My mother couldn't bear to see my brother suffer, so why did she give me a tael of money to buy medicine?"

After confirming that she had money, the doctor no longer hesitated and quickly wrote down the prescription and handed it to her: "You go ahead and pay the money to get the medicine."

Xiao Xiao spent 860 yuan on five antipyretic pills, and left in a hurry without even looking at the tall and thin man.

The tall and lanky man was not surprised. After all, he had a terrifying aura. If someone dared to stare at him, would that be abnormal?
