On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 330 Chase 3
It was indeed an unexpected surprise to have two more carriages, so everyone didn't have to squeeze in.

When they were on the road again, the drivers were all wearing rebel armor and equipped with their swords. At a quick glance, they really looked like rebels?
In order to prevent encountering their own people, no one inside wore rebel armor to avoid being destroyed by their own people.

It was a little late for them to leave the city. After walking for more than forty miles, it was already dusk.

In order to rush on the road, everyone just made do with some pastries at noon.

Of course, after such a bloody killing, most people lost their appetite and could not eat.

But there are three urgent things. Every hour, the carriage, mule and carriage will always stop.

After stopping this time, Xiao Xiao also got out of the car and was rude. After returning quickly, he stood in front and looked around.

Around Fucheng, the North Gate is a bit worse.

But the vacant land on both sides is still very expensive, and it is marketable but priceless.

She looked at the fields on both sides of the official road, growing radishes, cabbages, celery, green vegetables, etc., and became a little worried: "Looking at the neat planting here, it seems to be a small village."

"I'm worried that many noble families in Fucheng have also escaped, so Zhuangzi here will not be safe."

"What you said makes sense." Boss Xiao thought to himself. His family finally escaped and he didn't want to be captured again.

In particular, they also killed rebels. If they were recognized, they might not get any good results.

Boss Xiao discussed with his daughter: "Then let's go and take a look quietly first. If something is wrong, run away."

He doesn't like to be dependent on others.

Therefore, he wished that his daughter would not stay in Zhuangzi, and tried his best to turn a deaf ear: "Look, there are no deep mountains here. If the rebels come to arrest people, there will be no place to hide."

"In my opinion, we might as well go back to the countryside."

"If everything goes well, it will only be three or four days' journey."

"Think about it, the people in Xutian Village admire us very much. They will definitely obey whatever we say."

"If something really goes wrong, we can still hide in the mountains."

After he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Yu and Xiao Xiu coming over to listen to him, and they did not forget to make allies: "And your eldest brother-in-law's parents are also in Wu Ning Town. If we don't go back, how worried will they be?"

Jiang Yu glanced at his father-in-law with special gratitude.

He knew that among the three sons-in-law, his father-in-law liked him more.

In such a dangerous situation, my father-in-law is still thinking about his family.

This made him unable to bear to embarrass his father-in-law, so he said, "Thank you, father-in-law. It doesn't matter if it's a few days late. Grandpa will definitely send someone to pick us up, and we will be safer by then."

Boss Xiao was upset by him and wanted to give him a look, so he simply asked his two daughters: "Where do you think is safer?"

Xiao Xiu then looked around: "The mountains here are indeed smaller, but Aunt Mo and the others are not feeling well, so they may not be able to bear the long journey, right?"

"If the location of the farm is hidden, can we rest for two days before leaving?"

Xiao Xiao nodded: "Sister and I have similar ideas."

"However, there are too many changes, so let's just take it one step at a time."

She also knew in her heart that Aunt Mo would not recover for a while, and it would be inconvenient to prepare medicine if she was in a hurry.

However, they were afraid of being investigated before and did not dare to bring too many gifts. Now it is best to find a place to replenish the medicinal materials and food.

Xiao Xiao asked again: "Dad, how many miles have we walked?" "I'm not very familiar with this place." Boss Xiao touched his chin and said uncertainly: "It should be thirty or forty miles. Bar?"

"We didn't see any persimmon trees all the way here, did we?"

He looked at his daughter: "She won't play tricks on us, right?"

"That's not possible," Xiao Xiao knew a little about Mrs. Li: "She must have felt in her heart that the general would come back soon to eradicate the rebels, and she would prefer that the general be surrounded by old people."

Nowadays, there are very few men in noble families who do not take concubines.

Most men feel that if they don't have a couple with red sleeves to add fragrance, they will lose face.

Of course, there are also many men from reasonably well-off families who do not have a maiden, either because they are henpecked or because they are short of money due to other hobbies.

Mrs. Li cherishes her reputation because she definitely wants her aunts to be well.

What's more, Mrs. Li is also worried about her eldest son, and while Aunt Mo is still alive, she can still use Aunt Mo to embarrass Li Yan.

If something happened to Aunt Mo and Xiao Xiao, the eldest son might be very sad at that time.

But time can dilute everything, and he will be able to marry a noble girl by then.

Therefore, Xiao Xiao felt in her heart that Mrs. Li should be hoping that they would arrive safely.

Madam Liu also came back with her son in her arms. Boss Xiao immediately picked up her son with one hand and shook her, and then helped Madam Liu get into the carriage: "Okay, everyone, hurry up and get on the carriage. Drivers, please be smart. Stop if there is a suitable place to spend the night on both sides.”

"Don't forget to find the persimmon forest, too."

The men who were driving the carriages all responded, and the carriages, mules and carts continued to move forward.

After walking for about half an hour, Xiao Laoer saw a bamboo forest with a stream beside it, so he waved the team to stop, and ran over to ask Xiao Laoer: "Brother, there is a bamboo forest here that can block it." Wind, there is also a stream of living water, do you think you want to spend the night here?”

It was winter now, and it not only got dark early, but also got dark quickly. He was afraid that it would get dark if he left again, and he might not be able to find a more suitable place than this.

Xiao Sanlang had a shadow of the bamboo forest. When they were in Xutian Village, they were assigned to a bamboo forest. There were many snakes in it, and he was almost bitten by a snake.

So before Boss Xiao could speak, he retorted: "Dad, let's go forward? I don't like bamboo forests."

Xiao Laoer was afraid of his eldest brother, but not his son. He glared at him and scolded him angrily: "You are the only one who talks too much."

Xiao Xiao smoothly pulled Xiao Sanlang into the carriage and whispered: "Don't be afraid, it is winter now, and snakes are hibernating."

Xiao Sanlang's eyes lit up instantly: "Yes, how could I forget that it's already very cold now?"

He simply leaned against Xiao Xiao, hugged her arm and acted coquettishly: "The third sister is still the best to me. She knows what I am afraid of. Unlike my father, he will scold me and beat me."

"Third sister loves you." Xiao Xiao patted his head and was not ready to tell him because he was also afraid of snakes, so he remembered it so clearly.

We just experienced an escape last year, and now we are all experienced in surviving in the wild.

Madam Xiao got off the cart and directed people to unload three pots of different sizes from under the mule cart.

Then he took out two wooden barrels from the carriage. One barrel was filled with various spices, medicinal materials, bacon, dried vegetables and the like.

In the other bucket, they made more than a hundred meatloaf overnight.

After taking out all kinds of food from the bucket, let people pick up clean water and boil it, which is regarded as sterilization.

He also asked people to unload the cloth bags containing grain from the roof of the carriage and prepare to cook some rice porridge.
