On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 221 Rescue 8
When Chen Yibin saw Mrs. Chen and got a rough idea of ​​their experiences, he felt a cold sweat for them.

It can only be said that it was bad luck to encounter the rebels and they were surrounded. Fortunately, the other party did not know Mrs. Chen's identity, otherwise they would have attacked desperately.

Fortunately, he was able to turn the danger into safety, and he also picked up a large sum of money for nothing. As long as his father can stay for two more days, then the money for repairs, pensions, and rewards based on merit will be prepared for him.

Maybe there would be some left, enough to reward himself for the frightened days.

But when he knew that Li Yan was not here, he became anxious: "Then I have to go to the guardhouse to deliver important things to Mr. Li?"

Mrs. Chen advised him: "It's almost dark, why don't we wait until tomorrow morning to go?"

"Besides, Mr. Jiang and Mr. Xiao's family will accompany Mr. Li, so everything will be fine. Maybe they will come back for dinner later?"

"Mom is right." Chen Yibin never dared to dream of such a beautiful scene, but now that it's getting dark, he really doesn't dare to walk at night for fear of falling into a ravine.

Mochou sat by the side and listened to their conversation, and finally waited for her chance to speak: "Mom, let's go to the Xiao family for dinner? Are the Xiao family eating pig meat today?"

Mrs. Chen only looked strong on the surface. In fact, she wanted to vomit when she thought about the encounter and killing last night.

But Mochou also said something about the bloody pig-killing vegetables.

Mrs. Chen almost couldn't help but retched. She didn't want to lose her composure in front of them, so she forced herself to say: "You go and eat. Mrs. Jiang said before that she would give me vegetable porridge, which is good for health."

Anyway, in a short period of time, she didn't want to eat meat at all.

She doesn't want to eat any meat, she just wants to be vegetarian.

I think the female relatives who came to the Jiang family had the same idea as me.

Only Mo Chou is generous and can still think about eating pig meat.

Mochou knew her very well: "My aunt is just like my mother, both have too much self-control, but if you can't even satisfy your appetite, what's the point of being a human being?"

Chen Yibin couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. Even if he was a man, he knew that no matter what age a woman was, it was taboo for others to call her fat.

There was no word fat in Mochou's words, but it had that meaning.

Fortunately, she was her aunt's niece, so she was so angry that she wouldn't be punished.

However, he was worried that letting Mochou continue talking would make outsiders laugh, so he quickly said to save the situation: "Then my sister-in-law and I will go over there, and I will also go and say thank you to the Xiao family."

When Mochou heard this, she couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Aunt, it was so funny earlier. When my second cousin saw me calling me sister-in-law, Lian'er thought that my second brother was calling her, so she was so angry that she almost gave him a slap in the face. arrow…"

She is very talented in playing two roles, recreating the scene perfectly.

Chen Yibin saw his aunt covering her mouth with a handkerchief and laughing, and then looked at Mochou who was smiling and beating her hands and feet. He didn't dare to say anything. He just hated himself for why he had to rescue Mochou?
When they arrived at Xiao's house, the butchered pork dishes were just coming out of the pot.

This pig was bought by Mr. Jiang and the villagers.

He also very politely bought three pigs from a pig farmer and said thank you to everyone for rescuing them. He was really tired from running around at night and now he would treat them to some meat.

The three pigs weighed more than 460 kilograms after slaughter. Each family could share ten kilograms of meat, and the rest would of course go to the Xiao family and the Jiang family.

The female members of the Jiang family did not want to eat meat for the time being, so Mr. Jiang came over with Lao Jin.

As for Housekeeper Hou and the others, they were also assigned to guard the intersection. They also specially asked the aunt from the family near the intersection to cook a big pot of rice for them. There was enough meat, so that the injured and sick men in the village wished they could be assigned to the intersection. go.

It was an easy life, and you could still eat as much meat as you wanted. It was like a fairy-like life. Chen Yibin first thanked Mr. Xiao, then greeted Mr. Jiang before sitting down.

There are many people today, one table for men and one table for women.

Pork-killing vegetables are just stewed in one pot. The soup is made from pork bones, and some pig blood, pork liver, rice noodles, sauerkraut and the like are added. It is hot, fragrant and spicy. There are also braised pork, stewed pig trotters with soybeans, and other White cut pork.

The Xiao family didn't think they would get tired of eating meat, and they didn't even serve vegetables.

While Chen Yibin was talking to his tablemates, he quietly glanced at the table of women and saw that none of them seemed to be affected and were all eating meat.

He didn't know whether to admire their courage or their broad-mindedness.

Looking at Xiao Lian again, she was gnawing on a bone. Her little mouth was oily and her cheeks were bulging. She was doing what she wanted and was very cute.

Boss Xiao noticed his absent-minded look and followed his eyes: Good guy, he is actually looking at his second daughter?
Wishful thinking quickly began to form in his mind.

Chen Yibin is the second son of County Magistrate Chen. Although he is a commoner, I heard that Mrs. Chen regards him and the eldest son Chen as her own children.

If the second girl can marry into the Chen family, then the Chen family will be powerful and the Jiang family will have money and a good reputation, and she will no longer have to worry about being plotted against.

Of course, this premise is that County Magistrate Chen can survive and is not held accountable.

Hey, the risk is too great for the official's family. If something happens, the whole family will be devastated, and it may affect three generations.

Fortunately, Mr. Chen Er was not born to Aunt Wu, otherwise he would not have wanted his daughter to have a good relationship with the Wu family...

Speaking of which, the man surnamed Wu had a good eye. He knew that he didn't want to see him, so he didn't dare to hang out in front of him.

But this man couldn't help but talk about Cao Cao and Cao Cao coming soon.

"Second Young Master, the distinguished guest is here!" Master Wu's exaggerated and joyful voice came from outside: "Master Sheng, please come in and invite us, Young Master Sheng."

Xiao Xiao, who was chewing pig's trotters, was allergic to the word "Sheng". Hearing that name, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

It was too late to think too much now. She quickly lowered her head and whispered: "Don't even look up."

Mochou was a little unhappy after hearing this.

Outside, there was no aunt around. It was rare for her to feel at ease. Why should she be so reserved?
So when people came in, she still looked over.

The people who came were indeed Sheng Quan and his son.

Sheng Quan gave Liang Wang's people a convenience, but he was not willing to let them break in.

Not to mention that most of his wife, children, and concubines were in Yuhang, and most of his relatives and friends also made a living under King Jin'an.

He was really afraid that King Jin'an's big ship would capsize at the drop of a hat, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to find a way out. He wanted to sell well in front of King Liang, so he was willing to turn a blind eye.

But this does not mean that he is willing to let King Liang occupy Wuning County.

The safety of Wuning County is also Sheng Quan's responsibility. If Wuning County really falls into the hands of King Liang, then he will be finished.

Therefore, after Sheng Quan got the news, he no longer had time to hunt, and hurried back to order troops and generals to help County Magistrate Chen.

Unexpectedly, the road conditions were unfamiliar, so I took the wrong road and ended up in a small village.
