On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Seeing that there was no young man, the officer took a sniff and saw that there was no smell of medicine, so he relaxed and looked through it briefly. They were all meat, lotus roots, snacks and the like.

In addition, he didn't even bother flipping through the bedding and clothes, so he came down and let them pass.

There is only a short stretch of road outside the city gate that is easy to walk, and the snow on the road is full of footprints and car shaft marks.

Firewood, charcoal, vegetables and other daily necessities are indispensable every day, and naturally they have to be transported into the city. Therefore, there are many traces of vehicle shafts on the road, and some places are even padded with wooden boards.

Therefore, the speed of this mule cart is really comparable to walking.

But taking a car is definitely easier than walking. At least the shoes and socks won't get wet.

On the other hand, Jiang Yu, the driver, sometimes had to jump off the carriage and lead the mule, or move the wooden boards on the ground. The hem of his cotton robe and shoes and socks were all wet.

They left home at the beginning of the year. They walked on the road for more than an hour and arrived at the door of their home at noon.

He stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Da Lang, open the door!"

At this time, Xiao Xiao and Xiao Dalang were still eating and drinking in the restaurant in the back house, and only Li Yan was at home.

He was sleeping in a warm bed when he heard a knock on the door. His heart tightened and he quickly reached for the bow and arrow. The wound was touched, and the pain made him break into a cold sweat.

Then they heard someone knocking on the door and calling Xiao Dalang. It sounded like someone from the village might be looking for them.

However, it is also possible that people from the government came to check again and asked Li Zheng from the village to take the lead.

He didn't say anything, stood up silently, and slowly put on his clothes. If someone came in, he would hide if he could. Even if he was unable to defeat four hands with two fists, he would still have to kill a few people who were his backup.

If it were anyone else, he would have wondered if they had sold him out.

But at this moment, he didn't think about that at all. Instead, he hoped that Xiao Xiao and the others would come back later so that they wouldn't be hit or implicated by him.

Xiao Xiu and the others outside did not expect Xiao Xiao and Xiao Dalang to leave home so relieved. Seeing that no one responded inside, they became panicked, fearing that something had happened to them.

Xiao Lian didn't know whether to comfort others or comfort herself: "They will definitely be fine, otherwise they wouldn't have bolted the door from the inside."

Xiao Sanlang sharpened his fists: "I'll climb in and open the door!"

"I'll just go." Jiang Yu wanted to show off in front of Xiu'er. When he wanted to turn over and go in, he saw Xiao Sanlang looking at him with a disappointed look on his face.

Well, boys nowadays are all naughty. Climbing trees to pick fruits and fishing in rivers are also very fun games.

He picked up Xiao Sanlang with one hand and said with a smile: "Hold tight, let's go in together."

Xiao Sanlang immediately hugged his neck with both hands and smiled excitedly: "Fly!"

Jiang Yu didn't know. Fortunately, he held Xiao Sanlang and jumped over the wall. Li Yan saw Xiao Sanlang laughing excitedly in his arms and was still a little impressed. He put down the bow and arrow aimed at Jiang Yu and let Jiang Yu Yu saved his life.

Jiang Yu felt a little dangerous inexplicably, as if he was being stared at by a wolf. He looked back and felt that he was thinking too much.

This is the Xiao family, how could Xiao Dalang and the others be detrimental to him?
He turned to open the door and drove the mule cart in.

Li Yan saw through the crack in the door that Xiao Xiu and Xiao Lian looked familiar. He guessed that they were Xiao Xiao's sisters, so he quietly turned around, put away his bow and arrows, and then lay down on the couch.

Fortunately, he has a good memory, or maybe the scene of Xiao Xiao being chased by a wild boar was so special that he remembered it deeply.

Jiang Yu quickly opened the door and saw Li Yan lying there with his eyes closed, then turned around and said, "Xiu'er, who is here?"

He looked at the man on the couch again.

The lips are a bit white, probably due to excessive blood loss. But the person is very young, with thick eyebrows, but the eyebrows are asymmetrical, and the nose is high.

"This is Li Yan's own craftsmanship. His eyebrows were trimmed too thin and he felt they were too feminine, so he had painted them in front of a bronze mirror before. ﹞
Even though he thought he was good-looking, he still had the urge not to let Xiu'er see him.

Xiao Xiu and Xiao Lian also walked in after hearing this, and Li Yan was also 'awakened', opened his eyes, and nodded to them.

Xiao Lian stepped forward quickly and asked eagerly: "Master Li, where did my sister and the others go?"

The culprit is still fine, so they should be fine, right?

"Da Lang is suffering from cold and fever," Li Yan said in a gentle tone, "Xiao Xiao accompanied him to see the doctor earlier."

He asked them again: "Didn't you pass by the back house when you came? Didn't you see them?"

"Oh, we came back directly without going in." Xiao Xiu thought about Jiang Yu complaining that he was hungry on the way, so he decided to make lunch first: "Brother Jiang, help Mr. Li check his pulse and see the doctor, and talk to Mr. Li. My second sister will go first. Go cook."

Then he pulled Xiao Sanlang out and said, "Go and help too."

When Jiang Yu heard Xiu'er call him Brother Jiang and call the man on the couch Master Li, it was clear how close they were to each other, and he couldn't help but feel how beautiful he was.

Therefore, he regarded himself as his master and smiled at Li Yan: "Sir, please reach out and I will take your pulse."

The last time they went to Yuhang, Li Yan was also out with someone, and they never met at all.

Therefore, Jiang Yu didn't know who Li Yan was.

However, he had studied medicine with his grandfather since he was a child, and he had seen a lot of things in the world. Judging from the tone of Li Yan's words and the look on his face, he knew that this person was no ordinary person.

He should be a second-generation official, otherwise he wouldn't have such momentum.

Even if you can't make friends with such a person, you can't offend him.

Li Yan did not stretch out his hand. Instead, he lay there and said, "I wonder if you know the situation in the city? Are there any officers and soldiers guarding the intersection at the back house? Did you check strictly when you came?"

Li Yan was clearly lying there, while Jiang Yu was standing in front of the couch.

Jiang Yu should be looking at him condescendingly.

But Jiang Yu was stared at by him, and the feeling of being stared at by a beast at the moment he came in resurfaced, as if he was waiting for an opportunity to move and want to hunt.

He now understood that, consistent with the previous illusion that it was not him, it was indeed him who was staring at him in the dark.

Then he doesn't look like a son of an official. Is it possible that he is from Baihu? Or a military attache in the Yamen?

Like Zhao who inspected them in the city, Jiang Yu also dealt with them and felt that they didn't have the same momentum as him.

Therefore, he was even more reluctant to offend Mr. Li and said everything he could: "The city is also looking for strange young soldiers, and the medical center is also keeping a close eye on them, saying they want to catch injured gangsters..."

Jiang Yu didn't know the details about Li Yan, but he didn't reveal a word about the fact that the Xiao family teamed up with his own family, killed several people, and even arrested them alive.

Instead, he was thinking about how likely it was that Mr. Li would be used as a scapegoat?

He knew that the huge noise in the city was probably just to catch them.

I just don’t know how many things County Magistrate Chen found out from that living mouth.
