On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Xiao Lian hesitated for a moment, then leaned into her ear and whispered, "Do you still remember how we escaped from the Sheng family that time? Can we escape in the same way this time?"

That bombing was so loud that she would never forget it in her life.

Even if Xiao Xiao didn't say much to them, she and her sister were not fools, and they knew that the flour they ate could kill people.

Therefore, when she heard that her neighbors expressed their desire to protect their homeland, she decided to ask her sister to create another bomb.

"Don't drag me with you if you want to die." When Xiao Xiao heard what she said, he stood up suddenly, glared at her and whispered through gritted teeth: "Only the three of us sisters were the only ones who knew about it before. I have always been worried that Shengyang would also Know the secrets."

"That's also very dangerous. If you're not careful, you will be buried with you."

"Besides, the princes and generals are now kings of the land. If word of this spreads out, our whole family will become taboos."

Xiao Xiao's voice was stern: "If you don't know what prohibition means, then go and see the pigs in the pig pen and the chickens in the chicken pen. Then you will know what kind of life we ​​will live in the future."

"Every move you make will be watched, and your food and drink will be taken care of. Life or death is not up to you."

"Your head is not a decoration. If you dare to mention this matter again in the future, believe it or not, I will beat you until you can't take care of yourself."

When Xiao Xiao said something, Xiao Lian lowered her head a little. Until she heard her sister's last words, she couldn't help but raise her head and retorted weakly: "I was wrong, but you can't mess up because of this." What’s your seniority?”

"If you want me to call you mother, that's impossible!"

When Xiao Xiao saw her look like she would rather die than obey, she almost laughed out loud: "Then can I beat you up?"

Xiao Lian took a few steps back and clasped her hands together: "Can I call you sister? I really know I was wrong."

Xiao Xiu shivered when she heard most of the news outside. Fortunately, she came one step later than her second sister, otherwise she would have been the one being scolded.

She suspected that Xiao Xiao meant these words to herself, otherwise she wouldn't have suddenly raised her voice.

However, the angry mistress is really scary.

Xiao Xiu clenched his fists and took a deep breath before he dared to walk in and whispered: "Dad asked us to go out too."

Then he looked at Xiao Xiao and said, "Sister, I will forget that matter."

Xiao Xiao also looked at them and said seriously: "Perhaps, when you no longer want to live, you can die with your enemies like that."

Finally, he looked at them expressionlessly and added: "The last time we escaped unscathed, it was really just luck. I still can't be sure."

The three sisters walked to the living room, which was noisy like a vegetable market, and stood behind Boss Xiao. The hall suddenly became quiet.

Li Zheng swallowed his saliva and asked with a hopeful look on his face: "Do we really have no choice but to go into the mountains? Have we collected half a load of lime powder?"

Xiao Xiao didn't understand why everyone was acting like they were being forced to fall into bandits when they just went into the mountains to hide.

She secretly thought: Lime powder can only be used by surprise.

She nodded firmly: It was best to avoid it at this time to avoid casualties.

At this time, Xiao Sanlang walked out of the room, a little panicked and took Xiao Xiao's hand, gesturing for her to follow him in.

Xiao Xiao knew that Sanlang was young but smart, and would not come out to disturb her if nothing happened, so he followed him into the house. However, he saw Mrs. Liu lying on the couch with her belly covered, her face pale and sweating like rain, and she was biting tightly. His lips were silent.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Xiao also panicked and stepped forward to hold her hand. The hands that were originally warm were now very cold.

Mrs. Liu forced a smile: "I'm fine, I just have a stomachache. Just wait for me to calm down and go to the latrine."

She didn't understand herself. She didn't fall or eat randomly, so why did her stomach hurt suddenly?
It's a pity that Xiao Xiao is not blind, and she doesn't seem to be okay like this.

However, Jiang Yu, who knew medical skills, was not here either, and there was no doctor in Xutian Village.

Fortunately, at this time, Lin Xuan walked in with a cup of hot water and whispered: "Sometimes my stomach hurts, and it will be better to eat some hot water. I have some anti-abortive medicine at home, and I asked Lin Long to take it."

After Mrs. Liu drank the hot water, she smiled at Xiao Xiao: "Don't worry, mother is really fine, let's leave early?"

Xiao Xiao pinned her down on the couch and said without refusal: "Mom, just lie down and don't move. You don't know that dad can't stand the pleas of the neighbors and has already agreed to stay."

She pretended to be relaxed and said: "We are preparing for an ambush. I have to prepare some bamboo arrows. I have to go out and get busy first."

Then he looked at Lin Xuan and said, "Sister Xuan, please look after my mother for me. If anything happens, let Sanlang call us."

After saying that, he touched Xiao Sanlang's head.

Lin Xuan and Xiao Sanlang both nodded immediately.

When Xiao Xiao went out again, he saw that some people were already persuading a few elderly men to go back and clean up and leave early.

It was said to be around noon, so I was afraid that people would come early.

But the dozen or so old men in their 50s and 60s were all stubborn: "If you want to leave, you can go, we can just hide in the house."

Nowadays, people value filial piety. Of course, the children and grandchildren do not want to let the elderly in the family stay, but they can only persuade them.

An old man stared at Xiao Xiao and said: "The old man also worked as a cadre when he was young. If you want to leave, can you lend me your bow and arrow? If I kill two more, you will be less of a threat."

He had a delusional thought: "Maybe they will be scared away?"

Xiao Xiao changed his mind at this moment: "That won't work."

Seeing the disappointed look on the old man's face, Xiao Xiao took another deep breath and said with a sullen face: "I'll stay with you. If you want to leave, leave quickly. If you want to stay, go back and get your hoes and shovels. Let's go first." Dig a deep hole on the road, throw in some easy-to-catch pine needles, leaves and tall grass, and then pour all the lamp oil at home into it, luring them to fall in."

"Hide the lime powder next to it until someone comes..."

As for whether it was too late, Xiao Xiao was not sure, so he could only do his best and follow fate.

Boss Xiao looked at his daughter who was giving orders like a little general, and suspected that she was also stupid, so he couldn't help but quietly kicked his younger daughter's calf.

Xiao Xiao stood far away calmly.

She also knew that what she was doing was dangerous, and she did not force the villagers to stay.

But what she didn't expect was that after she finished speaking, Li Zheng, who had already retreated, took the lead in responding as if he had been given a shot of blood: "Miss Third, this is a good idea. I'll go back and get the hoe right away." .”

Li Zheng's son was dumbfounded when he heard this: Dad, why are you making such a fuss? How could you change your mind so quickly?

Most people followed Ying Heli Zheng's words, but only three or five people looked left and right hesitantly before going out.
