On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 85 Escape 2

Xiao Xiu relied on his excellent paddling skills to drag Jiang Yu ashore.

This is good news.

The bad news is that in panic and fear, she arrived at the south side of the reed field, while the Xiao family had arranged to meet at the east side.

I originally wanted to take Jiang Yu to swim there, but I was afraid of encountering water bandits.

She hesitated and decided to wait until the water was calm before crossing.

The two of them came ashore, shivering from the wind, and simply returned to the water.

Jiang Yu looked worriedly into the distance, Hou Er's life or death was uncertain.

And those escorts.

Before leaving, he told Captain Song that if there were too many people on the other side, leave the ship alone. It was important to save everyone's lives, and he would not pursue the responsibility.

According to the rules of the escort agency, if the escort fails this time, the escort agency will have to bear part of the losses. If word spreads, people will question the strength of their escort agency.

Therefore, Song Biaotou was unwilling to retreat without a fight.

Not only for the sake of reputation, but also in the hope that the opponent is a rabble and can be defeated by them, so he perseveres hard.

It should have been less than two quarters of an hour since the incident, but Jiang Yu felt that a long time had passed.

"Huh?" Xiao Xiu stared ahead, a little confused: "Am I being blinded? Why do I feel that the ship is getting further and further away from us?"

No, it should be said that the lantern on the ship is getting further and further away from them.

Jiang Yu took a deep breath and whispered through gritted teeth: "They were driven away."

Nearly 10,000 taels of medicinal materials were wasted like this. Xiao Xiu felt sorry for him and comforted him: "You can keep the green hills and don't worry about having firewood. I hope you are safe and sound."

But she also breathed a sigh of relief,

She also knew her father's plan, so she planned to rely on Jiang Yu to change the surname in the household registration, but she was always embarrassed to say it.

They were also afraid that he would think of the three Xiao sisters on Nancheng's wanted list.

Now that he has saved him, even if he knows their true identity, he shouldn't expose them, right?

Also, he must repay this life-saving grace, right?

The Wu family had given more than a hundred taels of silver in the beginning, so he would definitely be more generous than the Wu family, right?

She was particularly envious of the way Xiao Xiao distributed the banknotes to everyone.

Now, it was finally her turn to distribute the banknotes to her family members, and just thinking about it made the hot water boil.

Xiao Xiu felt that the boat had sailed away, and the water bandits should also leave.

She decided to go find her family when the boat was completely gone.

As for him, now that he is out of danger, we have to ask him about his plans: "Mr. Jiang, I am going to the east to find my parents later. Are you going to wait here, or will you go there with me?"

Jiang Yu thought of how she could feel the softness and warmth of her body when she hugged him earlier.

He couldn't believe that the weak girl could hold him and swim so far.

And he didn't feel disgusted or disgusted with her being close to him.

Thinking that he was saved by a girl, he felt a little depressed, but he didn't resent her approaching him.

I even think she is quite good. Although she is a daughter of a small family, she is gentle enough and can also paddle. She is so awesome.

So, he swallowed: "I'll go with you."

You have to take responsibility for yourself.

When I think about spending a lifetime with her, I don't find it annoying at all.

Xiao Xiu couldn't guess what he was thinking. After all, she thought that he was already married.

Although it is said that men and women are not intimate with each other. But if you don’t help yourself, you will die without help.

I just wonder why he didn't say thank you to me, even if it was just polite words, he had to say a few words, right?

Maybe he will be more serious?

Will you wait until you see your parents before mentioning this?

There is no danger now. Xiao Xiu doesn't want to drag him away anymore, and secretly prays in her heart: Hou Er, you can come quickly, or one of the bodyguards can come. If that doesn't work, it would be good if one of the brothers comes out.

Maybe she was favored by the God of Destiny at this moment, because the sound of paddling was really heard not far away.

The enemy was unclear, so they couldn't help but lean together and stare at the river vigilantly.

Fortunately, the person on the opposite side spoke first: "Erlang, just hold on, we will be able to go ashore soon."

Xiao Xiu was very familiar with Lin Xuan's voice and quickly said: "Lin Xuan, is that you?"

Lin Xuan was relieved when he heard her voice: "Yes, Erlang is injured, please come and help him quickly."

When she and Xiao Xiao encountered water bandits, she was pushed away by Xiao Xiao.

Although she grew up by the sea, her family had many rules. When she was a child, she had to splash in the lotus pond at home.

He said he could swim, but in fact he was only half-assed.

In panic, he swam further and further and choked on the water again. Fortunately, he met Xiao Erlang.

Unexpectedly, due to bad luck, the cough also attracted the water bandit's attention. Xiao Erlang didn't know how he tricked the water bandit and pulled her away.

However, Xiao Erlang was also injured. She didn't know it at first, but he couldn't support it not long ago, so he let go of her and let her swim forward on her own.

Of course, Lin Xuan couldn't just leave him alone. Fortunately, the noise they made while talking attracted Xiao Xiu's attention.

When Xiao Xiu heard that his second cousin was injured, he swam over quickly and said to them: "You guys wait here, I will take Erlang there first."

The moon in the sky, perhaps wanting to watch the fun, finally revealed its sickle-like crescent moon.

It does allow them to see the people on the opposite side up close.

Xiao Erlang also weakly called out to "eldest sister" and couldn't help but groan.

"Where are you injured?" After Xiao Xiu asked, before he could answer, he said to himself: "That's not right. Isn't Young Master Jiang a doctor?"

Jiang Yu had not had time to speak before, but now he finally heard Xiao Xiu mentioning himself, and he felt helpless: "We have to go ashore first, and we need fire to see clearly where he is injured."

It's a pity that I finally have the time to perform, but because I don't have the conditions, I don't have time to perform.

Xiao Xiu felt that she still had to go find her parents, hoping that they would bring the medicine with them.

Before he left, there was a louder sound of water in the distance, and Hou Er shouted: "Is anyone there?"

This time it was Jiang Yu's turn to be happy: "We are here!"

Later, Xiao Xiu took Erlang, Hou Er took Jiang Yu, and in the middle was Lin Xuan in dog-paddle style.

Although there are only five people, they can draw the momentum of ten people.

After they swam over, the movement was so far away that Xiao Dalang, who had been squatting in the corner, heard it.

At first, he was worried that the water bandits were catching up with him, but it wasn't until he heard Hou Er's cry that he dared to speak out.

When he heard that his second brother was injured, he quickly carried him forward and said, "Fortunately, Brother Jiang is here. Second brother, you will be fine."

The Xiao family was of course very happy to see many of them back.

Hearing that Erlang was injured, he quickly asked Jiang Yu to help him take a look.

Xiao Erlang's wound was on his thigh. It seems that he was lucky. He just hit the opponent's weak point with his kick, which made the water bandits too painful to catch up with them.

Otherwise, they might have to settle down in the river and keep company with fish.
