On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Li Yan certainly couldn't hold Lin Xuan's hand, so he could only whisper: "Hold Miss Lin."

Xiao Xiao had already been holding Lin Xuan with her other hand. She couldn't tell him that she could see the road, so she could only respond softly.

Li Yan had come here twice during the day, and now he walked forward carefully relying on his extraordinary memory.

Seeing the fire from afar, they became more cautious.

It turned out that Jiang Dalang and his men each arranged one person to guard the important intersections at night.

But it was such a cold day, and they didn't expect anyone to attack them, so they just put a few wild boar traps in the middle of the road and hid behind a simple straw hut, roasting a fire, eating peanuts and drinking wine, and boasting about their past achievements.

Xiao Xiao had sharp eyes. Seeing that Li Yan was about to step on the wild boar trap, she quickly pulled him back: "Be careful!"

Li Yan really didn't see it. The ground was mud, and it was about the same color as the wild boar trap. Unless you looked very carefully, you really couldn't tell the difference.

What's more, they were getting closer and closer to the fire not far away, and they were paying more attention to the situation there.

After she reminded Li Yan, he looked down at his feet and was almost scared to death.

He took two steps back and whispered to his colleagues behind him: "There are wild boar traps on the road, brothers, please be careful."

The people following behind also vaguely heard the woman's voice, and couldn't help but mutter in their hearts that Li Yan was unreliable. He dared to bring a female relative out to such a dangerous place.

He had previously thought that the person beside Li Yan was a servant, who could have known that it was his confidante.

I have heard in the past that in order to save his life, Li Yan could only marry an ordinary girl from the market.

Let them all feel sorry for Li Yan.

Otherwise, with his own abilities, there would be many ladies from prominent families willing to marry him.

He used to feel sorry for Li Yan, but now seeing that he takes her with him wherever he goes, he knows that Li Yan and his wife are definitely not just in appearance but in spirit.

Li Yan didn't know that his colleagues already knew that he had taken Xiao Xiao out, and he was also worried: "I didn't expect them to be so insidious and actually set wild boar traps on the road. Now I just hope there are no other places."

Xiao Xiao felt that she had learned something from her trip.

How stupid they are! They only knew how to dig traps but forgot to set wild boar traps.

However, considering the high cost of the clamps, she thought it would be a good idea to use some slipknots.

Of course, as someone who loves recycling and is thrifty, she kept in mind that she could take all these clips away when she goes back.

Now that Li Yan had experience, he was extra careful when walking forward, and finally managed to avoid the remaining clamps.

When they found that there were only two people guarding the hut in front, Li Yan and the other three people sneaked forward like cats and attacked silently.

The surprise attack was successful in an instant.

Li Yan was just about to ask someone to rescue people when he heard a shrill scream from afar. Then, in the room that was originally plunged into darkness, the light of oil lamps and candles soon lit up.

"Oh no, something must have happened to Old Wu and his team." Someone else said with a sympathetic look: "It's likely that there are clamps over there as well."

"Let's go save people first." Li Yan did not dare to delay. After calling everyone to save people, he did not forget to quickly remind Xiao Xiao: "You retreat and hide well."

As for how to hide and how to contact each other later, we had already discussed it before coming here, so there is no need to say more at this moment.

Xiao Xiao responded and pulled Lin Xuan back into the darkness behind the fire.

In this way, if any bad guys run out, the firelight will illuminate them, and they will be in the light while Xiao Xiao and the others will be in the dark.

This is to their advantage.

Lin Xuan didn't know that Xiao Xiao's eyes were bright, and she still reminded her in a low voice: "Walk slowly, let's watch the road."

She also quickly picked up a branch and tapped it in front of her like a blind person using a bamboo stick: "This is much safer, right?" Xiao Xiao didn't intend to tell anyone about her abnormality, so she responded cooperatively: "Yes, you are still careful."

They found a dark place to hide.

Lin Xuan looked at her in disbelief: "Are we really just going to squat here?"

Xiao Xiao didn't expect that she was bolder than herself: "We don't know martial arts. If we dare to walk around and run into bad guys, they can kill us in one go."

Lin Xuan quickly defended herself: "I didn't want to go out, I was just afraid that you would be too concerned and act recklessly. My aunt and the others told me to keep an eye on you."

The aunt she was referring to was Liu.

Xiao Xiao felt a little embarrassed.

In fact, she is a person who is afraid of death and loves leisure. She will definitely not risk her life to save Xiao Lian.

Even if I followed Li Yan out this time, I had already planned a retreat.

Others don't know that she can see at night. If something really goes wrong, she will definitely be able to run as nimbly as a rabbit.

I came along this time hoping to lend a hand and provide some support.

In this way, even if she failed to rescue anyone, she would not have to feel guilty, because she had tried her best and had a clear conscience.

Of course, she still hoped that they would win a great victory so that they could gain benefits and she could also take advantage of it.

Anyway, she is definitely strict with others and lenient with herself.

Soon, they heard shouting and sounds of fighting.

You don't even need to look to know that the situation outside is probably in chaos right now.

Xiao Xiao also closed her eyes and listened attentively, trying to recognize her second sister's voice among these chaotic sounds.

Lin Xuan followed Xiao Xiao here because she also wanted to broaden her horizons.

Another thing is to keep an eye on Xiao Xiao for the Xiao family and not let her take risks for Xiao Lian.

She originally thought that she had become braver because of her life-and-death experience.

Unfortunately, she heard the shouts and screams outside, which made her panic. She couldn't help but rub against Xiao Xiao's side: "We have a lot of people here, so we can definitely win, right?"

"Yeah." Xiao Xiao answered perfunctorily, and then she saw several men crawling outside. She drew her bow and prepared to shoot arrows, but she found that their clothes were not only bulky but also gray.

She put down the crossbow again: "I don't know if it's a tenant or a servant of the Chen Mansion."

Lin Xuan had been paying attention to her movements. Seeing that she was about to take action, she was very excited and followed suit with a crossbow and prepared to take action.

But after hearing what Xiao Xiao said, she couldn't help but whisper, "It would be great if Lian'er and the others could get out too."

Xiao Xiao was moved after hearing this, and whispered: "You stay here to support me, I will go and catch someone to question."

The main reason is that it's too dark here. They may know that there are traps here, so they don't dare to walk too fast.

And her target is the one who falls last.

"Don't go..." Lin Xuan panicked when she heard this and hurriedly tried to pull her.

Unfortunately, the speed was not fast enough and Xiao Xiao had already slipped away.

She could see at night for a certain distance, so she walked very quickly, quietly put the dagger on his neck, and asked in a low voice: "Where is the Chen family?" (End of this chapter)
