On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Xiao Xiao secretly thought that he was a miser, but she smiled brightly at him: "Why are you being polite to me? You are my savior, and I am willing to do things for you."

Mr. Li, look at me, an ordinary farm girl who knows how to repay kindness. How can you say that you don’t have any idea?

Although Xiao Xiao said it nicely, now that Xiao Dalang is here, she feels much more relaxed.

Xiao Dalang brought her bedding and a change of clothes: "Auntie has prepared these for you."

There are also some pastries, dried fruits and the like: "My eldest sister bought these."

There is also some fresh meat, two roosters that have been packed, bacon, braised chicken, braised duck, pig head and so on: "This is prepared by my grandparents."

Xiao Xiao prefers braised food to light food.

She sat there, cracking melon seeds, and just urged: "Hurry up, light the fire, steam all the braised food, I'm so hungry now that I can eat a cow."

Of course, even if she wanted to work, Xiao Dalang wouldn't do it.

Xiao Dalang first soaked the medicine in a medicine jar, and then put it on the small stove to start boiling the medicine.

Then he sat behind the stove and started to cook the braised duck.

He also threw a few sweet potatoes into the stove: "The sweet potatoes baked this way are particularly fragrant."

"Brother is still awesome, I didn't even expect this." Xiao Xiao also praised a series of good things.

Xiao Dalang was so happy to hear this.

If there is a third person here, they will definitely say that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to Mo are black. Xiao Dalang was led astray by Xiao Xiao.

Otherwise, how could he say those words without changing his face?
In the end, the brother and sister were in the kitchen, munching on the hot and fragrant braised meat.

After Xiao Xiao finished chewing the duck neck and two duck wings, he couldn't eat anymore: "Hey, I lose my appetite when I think of those people outside."

It was mainly the mochi she had eaten earlier to fill her stomach.

Xiao Dalang, who was unaware, even advised her: "Don't panic, it seems they won't be able to find us for a while."

Xiao Xiao resisted the urge to hiccup, stood up and said, "I didn't sleep well last night, so I'll go back and take a nap for a while, Brother Hardworking is keeping an eye on him."

In this winter, if you feel sleepy after eating a full meal, of course you will enjoy it more with a warm bed.

"It's okay. You can go to sleep. Where am I here?"

Xiao Xiao slept until the next morning.

Mainly because I was too tense before, but now I relax and sleep soundly.

She looked outside and saw that the snow had stopped, but the sky and the earth were still completely white.

Xiao Dalang has also cooked vegetable porridge, spread out some cakes, and heated up braised chicken.

Originally, they were Junziyuan's chef, but during the escape, they would help when cooking. Now that they have a restaurant at home, he sometimes helps out, and he can even cook simple home-cooked meals.

Seeing Xiao Xiao getting up, he smiled and invited her to eat.

Xiao Xiao asked in a low voice: "How is he? Does he still have a fever? Does he still vomit after eating?"

"I changed his medicine last night. The wound is still bleeding and he still has a slight fever, but he didn't vomit anymore, so I gave him breakfast. I'll bring him medicine later."

After Xiao Dalang finished speaking, he was a little worried: "His wound is too deep, I'm afraid he won't be able to recover in three to five days."

The snow has stopped today. If Li Yan is not here, he is planning to go back tomorrow.

The main reason was that his father and uncle were both injured. He was also worried about their injuries and that something would happen in the city.

But Li Yan was so injured that he couldn't move for a while, and it was hard for him to go back.

"Then let's stay a few more days and take this opportunity to talk to him."

Xiao Xiao went to see Li Yan after breakfast. She said sweetly: "Brother Li, are you feeling better today? I was too tired yesterday and accidentally overslept."

She was also adaptable. Since she couldn't wait for him to admit her as his sister, she simply changed her title.

As long as you shout for a few more days, when he gets used to it, he will admit in his heart that she is his sister. Li Yan was startled when he heard her name.

I have to say, it was quite nice to hear her shout like that.

As for her falling asleep, Li Yan could find an excuse for her.

The little girl was scared to go so far to get medicine for herself. It was normal to be scared.

"Thank you for your hard work," Li Yan said with a gentle expression, "It has stopped snowing outside. How about you go back tomorrow?"

If it weren't for her, for his own safety, he would never let them go.

Otherwise, if the news leaks out, he will die.

But now, he is worried that he will harm her.

The snow has stopped, which is a good thing for them. They can go home.

But it would be a bad thing for you, as it would make it easier for people to track you down.

"That's not possible. How can we let you stay alone?" Xiao Xiao refused of course: "We will wait until you recover from your injuries."

Just as she said this, she heard a violent knock on the door and muffled voices outside.

Li Yan also heard: "Where can you hide from people?"

Xiao Dalang rushed in and said nervously: "There are many soldiers coming outside, what should we do?"

Xiao Xiao was also panicking, but pretended to be calm: "Don't panic, they are knocking on the door of Mr. Xu's house now, it will be our turn later."

Not to mention that there are not many places to hide people in his hometown, and his body cannot be tortured, Xiao Xiao just stared at Li Yan's clear face: "I have a bad idea, do you want to listen to it?"

All she could think of was a cute little girl pretending to be a boy to get through.

Li Yan was a little confused after hearing this: "But I smell blood, I'm afraid I can't hide it."

They all started a blanket search, and he felt that the people who came to search were unlikely to be drunkards.

Some spies have sensitive noses, and the smell of blood and medicine cannot be hidden from them at all.

His face turned stern: "Bring the rope, I'll tie you up."

Only in this way can Xiao Xiao escape.

If he had not been injured, he could have escaped, but now that he was seriously injured, all he could do was try not to implicate them.

"Oh, I'll just tell you to have a miscarriage then!" Xiao Xiao took out the dagger: "Shave your chin cleanly and leave the rest to me."

Thanks to those two beautiful maids who like to apply makeup and powder, she saw them before and put them away, so they can be used now.

First I applied moisturizing almond lotion on him, then powdered him, trimmed his thick eyebrows thinly, and used Luozida to draw eyeliner and silkworm...

"Bang bang bang-"

The knocking on the door outside was rapid and extremely harsh.

Xiao Xiao went to open the door with disheveled hair. At the door, more than 20 soldiers rushed into the yard with great momentum.

Coincidentally, the leader Xiao Xiao also knew Jiang Baihu, whom he met at the medical clinic yesterday.

But today he is wearing official uniform and looks much more majestic.

Xiao Xiao shivered with a confused look on her face: "Who are you?"

Then he pointed at Jiang Baihu: "Uncle, I saw you at the hospital yesterday!"

Jiang Baihu also recognized her, glanced at the mule cart and carriage in the yard, frowned and asked, "Who is in your family?"

If it were an ordinary house, he would definitely have his men search it.

But this family had a horse-drawn carriage and a mule cart, which made him cautious and suspicious of their family's identity.
