On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 352 Chen Sanlang

Huzi and the others escorted a young man over: "Uncle Xiao, this man sneaked into the mountain and was caught by us."

The young man whose hands were cut behind his back was also very excited when he saw him: "Uncle Xiao, it's me."

Boss Xiao looked familiar at first glance: "..."

He has a lot of things to do now and meets a lot of people. For a while, you can't even think of who he is?

He felt proud: There is no way, he is considered a figure now, and too many people know him.

The young man also thought that he was too embarrassed now, so Uncle Xiao didn't recognize him. He tried hard to raise his head and tried to brush his face: "I am Chen Sanlang, Chen Yijun?"

"Sanlang!" Boss Xiao complained in his heart: Why don't you just say that I am the biological brother of your second son-in-law?
Chen Erlang is his second son-in-law, so he will definitely take a few more glances to avoid not knowing each other when they meet.

But Chen Sanlang, he had only seen him two or three times.

Moreover, the image of Chen Sanlang in his mind was that he was dressed in rich clothes, with a beaming face, and he was really a handsome young man with high spirits.

But now he is wearing a green shorts worn by a boy. I don't know if it is too old or something, the cotton in the clothes has fallen out.

The little face was so gray that it would be impossible to recognize him unless his biological father was here.

However, even if Boss Xiao was muttering in his heart, it was only for a moment. He quickly stepped forward to help him up, with a concerned look on his face: "Get up, why are you here? Is everything okay at home?"

Of course, what he cares about most is his daughter. As for whether County Magistrate Chen and the others are okay, he actually doesn't really want to know.

"Our whole family came here, but we were targeted by bandits. Thanks to my second sister-in-law, I escaped and reported the news."

In fact, Chen Sanlang didn't even know where he should go to find people from the Xiao family.

In his heart, he was more inclined to find his sister-in-law's mother-in-law's family to save his family.

After all, the sister-in-law's natal family is also like their uncle's family. The three brothers all get along well with the eldest sister-in-law's natal family.

Moreover, the sister-in-law's natal family is an official family from a scholarly family, but the Xiao family is a mud-legged family.

He was not someone who urgently needed help with farming, so he was unwilling to come to the Xiao family.

In his heart, Boss Xiao can only live a prosperous life by relying on his daughters to marry better than the last.

But people are not as good as heaven.

He still had a one-hundred-tael silver note on him, as well as some scraps of silver, but he had no place to buy food.

It was a lesson to him that money is not everything.

When he saw a few young people driving a mule cart up, he felt that they were all young people who were easy to talk to, so he paid some money and asked them to take him to his uncle's house.

Who would have thought that they mistakenly thought that they were bad guys, and swarmed up and caught him.

Their fierce and unreasonable looks made him mistakenly think that he had just escaped from the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den.

No matter what he said on the way, they seemed to be deaf.

He was originally discouraged, but who would have expected that he would see his second sister-in-law's biological father.

This was a desperate situation, and he was so excited that he almost burst into tears.

He said quickly: "My father received an order from the prince ten days ago to go to Tongjiang County as the county magistrate. Wuning County is now taken over by another person."

"My father was worried that the newly appointed county magistrate was not familiar with government affairs, so he delayed his departure for a few days."

This is what Chen Sanlang said in a nice way.

It snowed heavily in those days. After that, the snow did not melt and it was difficult for them to set off.

When he was ready to set off, his father contracted the cold again and was delayed for a few more days.

The whole family set off just the day before yesterday.

It went really well at first, but who would have thought that a hundred miles away from Fucheng, bandits were already paying for the road. As for their group, the more than ten horse-drawn carriages and mule-drawn carriages were like big fat sheep.

Even though the Chen family had nearly forty young men guarding them, they still suffered heavy casualties.

In the end, the second sister-in-law jumped out and lied that her mother-in-law was also in the same group. She also boasted that her mother-in-law's family was rich and could provide one hundred thousand taels of silver as ransom money.

After all, one hundred thousand snowflake silver is really not a small amount, and it can make many people's hearts flutter.

This saved the lives of the Chen family.

Then they were all locked up, and the second sister-in-law asked him to take off the dead man's clothes and put them on, and also asked him to put his own clothes on the dead boy.

Then he hugged the young man and cried, asking the doctor to save his brother-in-law.

Of course, the bandits also thought she was stupid. They were already dead, so why did they ask a doctor? Of course they dragged her out and buried her.

Xiao Lian took the opportunity to say that she would let the two remaining boys tidy up her brother-in-law's clothes and send their "third son" to the grave in person.

She also took out the golden hairpin from her bun and gave it to the bandits who were guarding them.

The two bandits who happened to be on guard were unwilling to dig a hole, so they agreed.

He took advantage of the time when the bandits relaxed their vigilance and rolled away and fled.

When the bandits wanted to call for help, they were stopped by another boy.

The boy was originally running errands with County Magistrate Chen, and he was a little brave. He followed Xiao Lian's advice and said, "The two eldest brothers are just boys. It doesn't matter if they run away, as long as our second young lady is here."

"It wouldn't be good if my eldest brother is blamed for something like this."

"You just bury two young boys..."

Anyway, even those who fell into the trap are still taboo about the dead, and it is impossible to dig them out and see how many people have been buried.

Of course, Chen Sanlang didn't know what happened next.

He walked for more than two hours and was tired and hungry.

Now that he finally met Boss Xiao, he was finally relieved.

Boss Xiao asked his younger brother and sister-in-law Wu to heat food for him.

After Chen Sanlang had eaten, he originally wanted the Xiao family to help deliver the letter to his uncle's house, but then he heard that Fucheng was in chaos, so he felt embarrassed to speak.

He asked worriedly: "Uncle Xiao, what should we do?"

Xiao Xiao had been sitting on the edge and listened silently. Now after hearing his words, she finally spoke: "How many bandits are there?"

Chen Sanlang glanced at her curiously, and thinking that she was Li Qianhu's wife, he did not hide it: "There were about seventy or eighty people, and nearly a dozen people were injured after fighting with us."

Xiao Xiao asked again: "Do you still remember the route?"

If he remembers clearly, then they have no chance of winning.

They can make a sneak attack, take advantage of their panic, and then attack with force.

This will not only save people, but also allow everyone to practice their skills so that they can protect themselves in case of trouble in the future.

But even if there were many of them, Xiao Xiao could not guarantee that they would have no casualties.

Xiao Xiao changed her clothes herself and prepared to go find out the news.

"Shall I go too?" Boss Xiao murmured to his youngest daughter while Chen Sanlang couldn't hear her: "Second girl, you are unreliable and will cause trouble for your family."

"Other people's daughters are trying to get good things from their husband's family to their parents' family. My daughter is trying to save her husband's family and create trouble for her parents' family."

Xiao Xiao admired her second sister's courage: "Dad, please stop complaining. Nothing is as important as life, as long as the second sister is fine."
