On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Xiao Xiao was impressed by the performance of the villagers this time. She originally planned to give some benefits to the villagers.

But I haven't decided how much to give him yet. I'm afraid I'll meet a wolf with blank eyes, and I'm even more afraid of being noticed if I reveal my money.

But if it hadn't been for them, the Xiao family wouldn't have been able to withstand it, and there would have been casualties.

So she asked Lin Xuan to take the medicine and walk with her.

Of course, Xiao Erlang and Sanlang must have followed.

When they returned home, Shunzi, who was guarding the entrance to the village, ran over again panting: "Third girl, the Jiang family is here. It's the one named Dongqing who wants to see you."

It was Dongqing's good luck that she met Shunzi who worked in the restaurant, so she didn't fall into the trap.

That's right, the villagers were worried that there would be rebels coming, so they still asked the four boys in the village who were not frightened to death, and who were not frightened to stand up, to guard the entrance of the village, and call people in time if there was any situation.

Shunzi and the others were stupid and bold. They saw only one torch coming in the dark night, so they were ready to show off. They wanted to impress the Xiao family and also wanted to show off in front of the Xiao family girls.

Besides, there are traps on the road, they are hiding in the dark, and they have weapons in their hands. Even if five or six people come, they think they can handle it.

Of course, their weapons were all picked up for free.

But when the man was about to step into the trap, Shunzi also recognized it. It was Dongqing from Huichun Hall.

And he was the only one.

That's why Shunzi called out to him, but didn't dare to let him in. He asked his companions to look at Dongqing while he came back to report the news to the Xiao family.

Boss Xiao said: "Erlang, go and bring Dongqing in."

Not to be outdone, Xiao Sanlang asked for performance: "I'll go with my second brother."

Xiao Xiao yawned and decided to go to bed after hearing Dongqing's intention.

Anyway, since she woke up a few months ago, she has become accustomed to going to bed early and getting up late. Today she woke up too early, and now she feels like dozing off while sitting.

Dongqing used to be a clean and decent young man with a sunny smile, but now he is gray and embarrassed, with a hoarse voice: "Mr. Xiao, eldest uncle, second master, hello girls, we have encountered rebels and are now surrounded. On the way, I asked my young master to pick him up as soon as possible."

Mrs. Xiao brought him a large bowl of hot tea with sugar: "Drink some water first."

Dongqing was indeed very hungry and thirsty, so she thanked her, took it with both hands politely, and drank it all without bothering to boil it.

Boss Xiao couldn't hide his curiosity and asked: "Is the city gate in front lost?"

Dongqing thought to herself: If nothing happened in the city, wouldn't the Jiang family escape?

On the bright side, he didn't dare to be presumptuous: "Although the city gate has not been lost, there are too many rebels attacking the city. If there is no support, I'm afraid I won't be able to defend Hou'er?"

"There are also some spies who took advantage of the troubled waters to catch the old man."

"The old man saw something was wrong, so he wanted to go to the countryside to take shelter. Who would have expected that he would be so unlucky that he met more than 20 rebels delivering food on the way."

"Fortunately, we met the female family members of Magistrate Chen's house at that time. They also took a few guards and occupied a house, so they could barely resist."

As for the scandal of him quietly escaping from the dog hole, it goes without saying.

After hearing this, Boss Xiao scratched his head with a headache: "Then it's unlucky that you came here. Your young master went to the guard station early in the morning to move reinforcements, and now I don't know if it will go smoothly."

As for himself and his younger brother, although their injuries were mostly healed, they did not dare to show off and fight and kill, for fear that they would not help, but would cause trouble for their children.

But if I can't afford to meet them, I will be embarrassed to see the Jiang family in the future. Especially the eldest girl and the boy Jiang Yu have made a verbal agreement. If something happens to his family, he will not be allowed to observe mourning for one year, right?

If the biological mother, grandparents and grandparents are gone, then what is considered a heavy filial piety and must be observed for three years?
Wouldn't that make your eldest girl an old girl?
Of course the premise is that they are still alive at that time.

Xiao Xiu also knew that it was not suitable for his father and his second uncle to go out and run around now, so he said nicely: "Dad and my second uncle will stay here and take charge, and I will go."

The wages of avarice is death.

Thinking of the ruthlessness of the people in the village before, she felt that she now had a few hundred taels of silver, and she could spend the money to find a dozen brave people to go with her.

Xiao Lian gave her a roll of her eyes: "Okay, what's going on between sisters? We'll go with you."

Xiao Erlang also said quickly: "I want to go this time too."

Xiao Sanlang was eager to try: "I'll go too."

"Go to bed. If you stay up so late, be careful not to grow taller." Xiao Xiao didn't expect that he wouldn't be able to get a solid sleep this late at night.

And there is no coffee to refresh her mind now. Looking at Mrs. Xiao's pained eyes, she grabbed a lot of tea leaves and made tea: "We, the three sisters, and Erlang will go together."

Then he called Shang Erlang: "Go and tell Shunzi and the others, and ask them to tell the people in the village that if they are willing to rescue people with us tonight, each person will be given ten taels of silver."

"If you are injured, we have medicines and doctors here. If you lose your life, we will give you fifty taels of silver as housing expenses."

Xiao Xiu glanced at her little sister in surprise, but she didn't expect her to be in the same place as him.

Xiao Erlang responded, turned around and ran away.

Xiao Sanlang, who loved to join in the fun, quickly followed him.

Mrs. Xiao also brought some hard-boiled eggs and some steamed buns to Dongqing: "Eat quickly and take some away later."

These were originally dry food prepared for themselves, but they didn't need it until they went to the mountains, and they were even reluctant to eat meat at night. Who wanted to eat dry steamed buns without oil or water?

Holly didn't care about being polite either.

Living in the Jiang family, he had no worries about food and clothing. He could eat chicken, duck, and fish every now and then. This was the first time he had gone hungry.

While he was eating, he was worried: If the young master is not here, just the girls from the Xiao family and some common people carrying hoes will be of any use.

It’s not harmful. They couldn’t save people, but they still lost their lives, right?
Xutian Village, where most of the lights had been turned off, soon became lively. After Xiao Xiao and the others went out with bows and arrows on their backs, Xiao Lian swore: "I will buy the best bows and arrows when I get back, and I will buy a hundred and eighty arrows." .”

Now the sisters share more than 20 arrows equally, which is really not enough.

Besides, she is a clean girl and is not willing to use these arrows pulled from dead people.

When they came to the roadside, more than a dozen torches lit up the intersection.

Dongqing was so frightened that she turned around and wanted to run away: "Run quickly, there are rebels..."

Xiao Xiao quickly grabbed his hand and said angrily: "No matter how you run, you are one of our own."

Those people's outer clothes were also stripped off before, and of course their weapons were not spared. Now that they are wearing them, they can really scare people.

What surprised her was that father and son came to Xu Laosan's house, and Li Zheng came to join in the fun?
Could it be that the money she promised to give out earlier was too much, and Li Zheng wanted to take the opportunity to make some money?
