On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

"The total is one hundred and sixty-eight taels!" Xiao Xiao was a little disappointed: "Just this little money?"

Fortunately, she still wanted to give it a try. What about turning a bicycle into a motorcycle?

With this little money, there are twelve people in my family. If you add the Lin family sisters, there are fourteen people. Each person only gets twelve silvers.

It's a pity that we really didn't see such large households in the past.

No, no, I can't be so inflated. These more than ten taels of silver are already the income of an ordinary family for more than half a year.

Mrs. Xiao was holding a gold hairpin, a silver hairpin, a gold bracelet, and a gold ring with a smile on her face: "One tael of gold, ten taels of silver, and these are also worth a lot of silver?"

After the simple interrogation, Li Yan felt a little heavy. He happened to hear their words and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Facing backup who might appear at any time, he didn't know how to tell them the cruel news.

As a result, they had no sense of crisis at all, nor did they have the fear, nausea, guilt, shortness of breath, or panic after killing people. Instead, they were very happy sharing the spoils?
Only when you see a lot of blood and have a lot of blood on your hands can your heart become calm and callous.

This behavior is too unlike ordinary people, but more like a gangster wandering on the edge of life and death.

Li Yan was so embarrassed that he wanted to ask, did they have any part-time job in other professions during their escape, such as being a robber?
If Xiao Xiao knew what he was thinking now, he would definitely say that banditry is a promising industry.

People are very adaptable. If someone kills someone and sees blood, they will definitely feel flustered and short of breath, but they won't be vomiting like in the beginning.

She was more concerned about the situation outside, so when she saw Li Yan came out not even a quarter of an hour later, she hurried forward and asked, "Did you ask anything?"

Whether you want to go or stay is just waiting for his words.

The other people also immediately stared at Li Yan, and if they couldn't stand it anymore, they were ready to flee to the mountains.

The Xiao family all felt that their legs and feet were so nimble that even if more rebels came, they could still run into the forest first.

But this does not mean that they are not afraid of death.

On the contrary, the Xiao family all felt that they had money in their pockets. In order not to suffer the consequences of someone dying without spending all the money, they all set a small goal: God bless me, I must live a long life!

Therefore, Mrs. Xiao just looked at Li Yan, not wanting to miss what he said, and she also urged her second granddaughter and second grandson to quickly divide the spoils.

Then he urged the two daughters-in-law in a low voice: "Don't hang around here, go back to the house and put away the clothes quickly, otherwise you will be too slow to wait, and don't expect me to wait for you."

Like her, after Dalang came back, she was very vigilant and put away all the money. When she went to the kitchen to make porridge and medicine, she also picked up some salt, rice and noodles.

How could Mrs. Wu be willing to leave if she didn't get her share of the money? She patted her thickened waist and smiled proudly: "Mom, don't worry. I'll pack it up as soon as the old man came back and told me." .”

He glanced at my sister-in-law's already pregnant belly and murmured: "Mom, what you should worry about most is your sister-in-law. Brother, they haven't recovered from their injuries, so they are the ones holding us back."

Mrs. Xiao gave her a roll of her eyes: She couldn't believe that she would marry such a stupid woman to her son?

She was as timid as a bear's heart and a leopard's guts. Didn't she see the boss next to her giving her a cold side glance?

Li Yan did not hide anything: "I interrogated them separately, and they all confessed. They are all soldiers under the command of King Liang, and the leader is Zhang Qianhu."

"There are also nearly a hundred spies under General Ying at Yingtian Mansion."

Xiao Xiao took a breath: "How could He De in this small Wuning County be concerned by so many adults? They have already detected it as a sieve, right?" Xiao Lian also looked nervous: "Then let's evacuate quickly. Bar?"

"But General Ying is attacking the city from the front. Zhang Qianhu and the others are bringing people to help, hoping to attack from both inside and outside."

"So only Jiang Baihu and more than fifty people under him are left here."

"Now there are twelve people who are either dead or injured, so they can only be forty-two or three at most."

Jiang Yu also walked out of the woodshed.

In order to ensure that the injured people could not collude in confession, they had dragged them to the woodshed, the mule and horse shed, and under the eaves of distant houses.

Now Jiang Yu added: "They said they wanted to take the opportunity to grab more money from hundreds of households, and they said they would come back at noon."

Ms. Xiao patted her heart happily: "It will take a while. Let's have breakfast first, pack a few more things, and then slowly go into the mountains."

Old Man Xiao nodded: "You two young masters, let's make do with what we have to eat first, shall we?"

After he finished speaking, he felt that the local accent in his words was too strong, and he was a little embarrassed, so he simply told his grandson: "Dalang Erlang, please greet these two distinguished guests."

After that, he went to the kitchen to serve porridge.

He was impatient to eat with them, mainly because it didn't taste good to sit there upright, so he served polenta, took two pancakes, and walked outside while eating: "I'll go outside to take a look. "

Madam Xiao also quickly filled up the corn porridge and followed with a two-faced steamed bun: "Old man, I'll go with you."

Wu was in a dilemma while holding the bowl, wishing that she could not become two people, so that neither side would be left behind.

In the end, she glanced at the young people talking together, and still took the bowl and chased her parents-in-law.

The corn in the corn soup was not very fine, and Mrs. Liu was worried that they would not be used to it, so she specially cooked red bean and white rice porridge, steamed two large bowls of egg soup, and boiled the remaining twenty or so eggs. Eggs, you can eat one when you are hungry.

This is also a habit they developed on their way to escape.

After Xiao Boss had eaten, he originally wanted to wipe his mouth with his sleeves. However, thinking of Liu's love for cleanliness, he took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped it before he said, "Dalang and I also went to the mountains several times." , I still remember that there are some deep caves in the mountain cols, and if you use branches to block them, you can protect them from wind and rain."

"But it was still cold when we went into the mountains, and now I'm afraid those places have become caves for wild beasts."

Li Yan and Jiang Yu heard the meaning in his words. They were not prepared to fight the other party head-on. For a moment, they felt a little disappointed.

Li Yan thought to himself: If his injuries could be mostly healed, he would definitely encourage the Xiao family to join him in resisting the rebels.

But he can barely walk now. If he walks too fast, the wound will hurt, and he won't risk his own life to show off.

But he didn't want to just run away and said what he thought: "I want to go to the garrison to move reinforcements."

"According to the meaning of those rebels' words, Sheng Qianhu did not get involved, which means that Sheng Qianhu did not completely betray the prince."

Xiao Xiao was a little worried: "Sheng Qianhu's crime of negligence is unavoidable. Aren't you afraid that you will never come back if you go?"

Regardless of whether the Sheng family has this idea, Xiao Xiao will put this idea into practice for the Sheng family.
