On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 337 Chase 10
Xiao Xiao had also met Governor Chen. After he stepped forward and saluted, he simply told what happened: "We were lucky. We stole a few pieces of armor and pretended to be them before escaping."

"Later, we met dozens of people who came to hunt my mother. They mistakenly thought that we were their companions and were not vigilant, so we successfully attacked them..."

She didn't dare to let Governor Chen know their true strength, for fear that he would think too highly of them and make them fight to the death when they encountered the rebels.

So she preferred to speak of them as mean.

Seeing her showing off, Governor Chen felt that he was overthinking.

When he saw the Xiao family coming out and saluting him from a distance, he did not want to socialize, nodded reservedly, and left surrounded by guards.

Li Yuan was a little embarrassed, but he greeted Boss Xiao and the others warmly. When he heard that they were going to Wu Ning, he was very worried: "Uncle Xiao, it's a long way to Wu Ning. It's too dangerous."

"We went around earlier and found that this place is quite hidden. Why don't we stay together?"

"I think my father and the others will come back soon."

Boss Xiao thought to himself: There are so many of you, but you don’t have much food, and medicinal materials are even rarer. Why don’t you stay and eat dirt together?

"Take it one step at a time. If it doesn't work, you will die halfway," Boss Xiao sighed after finishing speaking: "If we don't go back, I'm afraid the eldest son-in-law's family will be worried."

"Besides, it was good luck that we were able to kill the rebels who came to capture you earlier."

"But when they come out, they lose their message. I'm worried that the rebels won't give up."

After Boss Xiao finished speaking, he admired himself for being so broad-minded as a prime minister who could support a bed in his belly.

The wife and sister named Chen both offended his daughter, but he still worried about them.

It's not that Boss Xiao is really generous, but he is worried that not all of them can be silenced. If anyone escapes, if we get to the bottom of it, he may be angry at them.

No matter how hidden this place is, it can't stop those who are interested.

Li Yuan still listened to the advice: "Thank you, Uncle Xiao, for reminding me. I will discuss it with my uncle soon."

After speaking, he looked at Xiao Xiao: "Sister-in-law, if you need anything, just go to Mrs. Zhou."

Xiao Xiao thought to herself: After meeting so many people, Zhou didn't even show up.

Either she was unwell or in a bad mood and didn't want to socialize, so she deliberately didn't show up.

Why should I bother others?
Why not go out with your eldest brother-in-law to look for medicinal herbs?

After Li Yuan left, Boss Xiao muttered to Xiao Xiao: "San'er, this place is only so big and there are too many people. What will we do if they start targeting our food?"

Xiao Xiao came close to him and whispered: "Father, hurry up and tell the second young master that the people who came to hunt them have all gone to Huangquan Road. If you don't take this opportunity to go back and carry food, they will starve."

It was hard to persuade the damn ghost with words, so she could only suggest that she could not be the home of the Chen and Li families.

Fortunately, Jiang Yu is a doctor and often goes out to collect medicinal materials. He knows a lot about pharmacology, and he quickly found some medicinal herbs and came back.

Now, although the Xiao family has defected to the Chen family, they also know that they are not welcome, so they cook for themselves so as not to cause trouble to others.

After two days, Aunt Mo and the others gradually recovered.

The Xiao family is also preparing to set off.

Before leaving, I must tell Mrs. Li.

Aunt Mo was hoping that if the madam didn't want to see her, then she could leave with her daughter-in-law.

She knew in her heart that if she stayed with Madam, she would definitely be the one abandoned when the crisis came.

It would be safer to follow Xiao Xiao.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li heard them leaving and coughed a few times: "We are a family, why don't we all be together?" Ever since she and her sister-in-law were frightened by Xiao Xiao the day before yesterday, they were so scared that She had nightmares.

He dreamed that he was killed by his concubine's eldest son, and that Aunt Mo took his place and became the majestic general's wife.

Now Mrs. Li is upset when she sees their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and wants them to leave quickly.

Maybe if I can't see them, I won't have nightmares at night.

Aunt Mo's heart tightened, but her face remained calm as she said, "I will obey Madam's orders."

She was worried that Mrs. Li would not let her follow, for fear of being left behind.

But as a concubine, she cannot have her own opinions.

Xiao Xiao didn't want Aunt Mo to stay, and said deliberately: "Madam, we don't want to go out and take risks, but Aunt Mo is still a little feverish."

"There are not enough medicinal materials here to cure the disease, so we thought of asking my eldest sister's father-in-law to treat them first so as not to leave the root cause of the disease."

"Hey, it's rare for you to be filial." Mrs. Li couldn't hear the word 'sick' right now. Her body tensed uncontrollably, her breathing slowed down, and she said calmly: "Aunt Mo's health is important, so I can't force her. Be careful along the way."

When Aunt Mo and Xiao Xiao heard this, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and agreed in unison: "Yes!"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said goodbye and went back, asking everyone to prepare their luggage and prepare to leave early tomorrow morning.

On the second day, the Xiao family got up before dawn to prepare breakfast.

Now that Hu's mother and the others are almost good enough, they can all help with cooking, and Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Wu are much more relaxed.

After Lin Xuan woke up, she went to the kitchen first and found that she didn't need to help, so she simply picked up a lantern, said something to Mrs. Wu and went out.

In the past two days, Lin Xuan followed Jiang Yu and got to know a lot of herbal medicines. Thinking that her sister's throat was also a little uncomfortable, she was ready to find some perilla leaves and mulberry bark.

Besides, Governor Chen now has a favored aunt who only entered the government last year. Her brother Xie Yao was originally a subordinate of Governor Chen.

Of course, after offering his sister, Xie Yao would have more face in front of Governor Chen.

This time Governor Chen fled, and of course he did not forget to take Xie Yao with him.

Xie Yao ate too much meat last night, and his stomach and intestines urged him to get up and solve three urgent problems.

When he was about to go back, he saw a lantern floating over, which frightened him so much that he thought he had hit a ghost.

When he took a closer look, he realized that she was a beautiful girl.

He instantly became evil-minded.

Their hometown was dozens of miles away from Fucheng, and only he and his aunt's sister escaped with Governor Chen.

He also didn't dare to go back to his hometown to pick up his family. Without a wife to warm him, he felt angry.

Seeing that beautiful woman now, he felt that God heard his heart's wish and sent her to him specially.

He took a detour and hid behind her, preparing to find a good opportunity to do something evil.

Anyway, it's not bright yet, so she can't recognize herself.

Besides, even if she recognized him, he bet she wouldn't dare to say anything, otherwise her reputation as a good friend would be lost.

I can only swallow my anger and suffer the consequences of being dumb.

When Lin Xuan walked over from where he was hiding, he squatted down, put the lantern aside, took out a woodcutter from the basket he was holding and started digging for medicine.

He came up behind her on tiptoes, quickly grabbed the woodcutter and threw it aside. Then he put his arm around her waist and covered her mouth with the other: "Little beauty, don't shout, don't force me to kill you." you…"
