On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 4 Angry Piggy
  Let's talk about Xiao Xiao. She was woken up by her eldest sister in the morning. After drinking a bowl of bitter medicine that made people doubt life, she fell asleep again. When she woke up covered in sweat, it was almost noon.

Xiao Xiu was arranging the clothes in the room and saw her waking up. He helped her get up and go to the toilet in the corner.

Then he went to bring hot water, and used a bamboo handle with a handle made of horsetail. He used a toothbrush dipped in green salt to rinse her mouth, and then helped her wipe her body and change her clothes.

Then he brought her a bowl of shredded chicken porridge: "Eat some porridge first and then drink the medicine to avoid stomach upset."

Xiao Xiao also felt that he was almost healed. Before, when he drank porridge, there was only a bitter taste in his mouth.

Now take a bite of the porridge. The chicken shreds are firm and delicious, the sticky rice porridge is fragrant, and the chopped beans are fresh and sweet.

She quickly finished the bowl of porridge and said coquettishly to Xiao Xiu: "Sister, I haven't eaten for several days. Can we cook at noon?"

She was a little uncomfortable calling such a young girl sister.

But in order to be able to eat normal meals, moral integrity can be put aside first.

"Okay, you can eat if you want." Xiao Xiu handed her the medicine bowl again, smiling gently: "After you drink the medicine, I will give you chicken drumsticks for lunch."

Yes, you are treating yourself like a child.

Fortunately, Xiao Xiao was not thin-skinned. He took the bowl with a grimace, tested the temperature of the medicinal soup, and drank it all in one gulp.

Xiao Xiu was very pleased: "Lie down for a while and call me if you need anything."

After Xiao Xiu left with the empty bowl, Xiao Xiao checked it carefully, and unfortunately found that he had no space and no powers.

She sighed. For the sake of her own life, she had to find a way to get a bow. Even if it was a different bow, she could get her feel back after practicing it a few times.

Lunch was a rare treat, including braised chicken, braised duck with dried bamboo shoots, scrambled eggs with leeks, and fried beans.

With such a sumptuous and delicious dish, Xiao Xiao still insisted on having lunch with everyone, even if his eyes were filled with stars.

Her original intention was good, she wanted to eat more and regain her strength as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, after she lay on the bed for a while, her internal organs rebelled restlessly.

She has regained some strength now, and she definitely doesn't want to use the toilet in the room in broad daylight and hold an oil-paper umbrella to squat in the toilet.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Xiao Youfu went to open the door, and when he saw Xiao Wei, before he could say hello, a fat and thin young man on both sides came in with a stick and hit him on the head.

The visitor was unkind, so he closed the door with his hands faster than his brain.

Fortunately, Xiao Youfu is not a good person either.

In the past, he would bring people to his door to collect debts, and sometimes he would take action, but he would not be as ruthless as they were, clearly wanting his life.

He quickly dodged the tall man's wooden stick, but was hit on the left shoulder by the short man's wooden stick.

He gritted his teeth and received the painful blow. He took the opportunity to escape under the eaves, picked up the pole under the eaves, stopped the tall man who wanted to break into the house, and shouted at the same time: "Hey, you guys, please shut down Good doors and windows are not allowed to come out!”

Liu's mother and daughter are his weakness.

As long as they don't fall into their hands and fight desperately, they may not be defeated by them.

Although he has never learned martial arts, he is very strong and has experienced countless fights in the past ten years, so he fights with Xiao Wei and the other three.

Mrs. Liu, who was in the room, was instructing her two eldest daughters to tidy up their belongings. Suddenly, they heard a man yelling angrily, which made them tremble all over.

Xiao Lian quickly stepped forward to close the door and saw her father and three men fighting. She happened to see Xiao Wei holding the door bolt and aiming at her father's head from behind.

She was so frightened that she screamed: "Dad, be careful behind you!"

After shouting, she saw a tall man rushing towards her. She was so frightened that she closed the door and bolted it in one go.

Still feeling unsafe, I asked my sister to move all the wooden boxes and cabinets in the house and push them behind the door. Mrs. Liu also hid by the window and looked outside, and saw that Xiao Youfu had been beaten several times under the siege of three people.

Fortunately, Xiao Lian reminded him loudly, so he simply rolled on the spot, dodged the sneak attack from behind, jumped up again, and used his hoe to block the wooden stick in front of him, but was hit hard by the tall man on the other side with a stick. on the body.

Xiao Youfu's face changed in pain, but he still gritted his teeth and fought with them desperately waving his pole.

Ms. Liu felt panicked when she saw it, and called her two daughters in a low voice: "Go and take out the hatchet under the bed, just in case."

Shuikou Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces water on three sides. It is so dangerous now that they dare not prepare to go out over the mountains because there are wild boars, wolves, tigers and other beasts on the mountains.

If it happens, they will automatically deliver rations to your door.

What's more, it's June now, and there are a lot of snakes and insects that can kill people in the deep mountains and wild forests.

Therefore, the walls of their homes are built with stones to prevent wild animals.

The four of them, mother and daughter, were at home, and Ms. Liu was afraid of any accidents, so she hid a hatchet under the bed.

Xiao Xiu also moved closer to the window to look outside, her face turned pale with fright, and she whispered: "Mom, if this continues, I'm afraid dad won't be their match. I'll climb out of the window to help dad later, right?"

The windows in their house are so small that adults can't get in at all.

However, Xiao Xiu is slim and can squeeze out.

Xiao Lian came over with a hatchet. Hearing this, he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "You don't have the strength to tie a chicken. Go out and die. I'll go!"

Of course Mrs. Liu didn't want her daughter to take risks, so she said with a white face, "I'll just go!"

Xiao Xiu quickly stopped her: "Mom, you are weak after getting sick. How can I let you go?"

"Forget it, stop fighting," Xiao Lian gritted her teeth: "If something happens to dad, none of us can run away, so rush out and fight them!"

Xiao Xiu had a firm look on her face: "My mother and I will go out first and cover you to find the little sister next door! You guys find a way to escape!"

At this moment, Xiao Xiao was also thinking about how to help.

The toilet is at the opposite corner of the courtyard gate, so Xiao Xiao saw it when they rushed in.

Seeing that Xiao Youfu was at a disadvantage again, could she not be anxious?

It's a pity that she still doesn't have much physical strength, and she doesn't have any weapons nearby.

The pig next door, on the other hand, was still humming and squawking.

She looked around and found that although the toilet and the pigsty were separated by a wall, they were connected in front and had the same door.

Her eyes lit up, she went to the next door and struggled to open the wooden door of the pig pen, then opened the door quietly, picked up the broom and slapped the pig's butt hard.

Piggy was angry.

I had planned to slaughter the pigs in the afternoon, but I didn’t feed the pigs for lunch.

Now the pig's stomach is empty, and it still needs to be spanked constantly.

It's really hard for any pig to endure this grievance.

At this moment, the wooden fence of the pig pen was moved away, and the pigs rushed out.

Xiao Youfu was lucky. As soon as the pig rushed out, he saw it and avoided it immediately.

But the tall man was unlucky. Even if Xiao Wei shouted to be careful, he didn't react at all and was knocked to the ground by the pig.

The pig was originally afraid of people, and when it saw four grown men holding sticks in their hands, it was even more frightened and ran rampant in the small yard, howling and howling.
