On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 86 Forced Marriage

For the Xiao family, it was definitely distressing to have spent several taels of silver on medicine before, as it was a luxury and high consumption.

If the medicine hadn't been so large, they would have carried it with them like silver.

The medicine bag is filled with water, and useful medicinal materials can be used.

It's a pity that there is no pot or fire now, so it is still a useless existence.

Fortunately, the medicine bottle did not cut any corners, and the medicine powder and pills were all good.

Jiang Yu sprinkled some golden sore medicine on Xiao Erlang, and gave Xiao Erlang the Bazhen Pills and Xinbao Pills that Boss Xiao had prepared for Liu.

Although it is not particularly symptomatic, it is still beneficial to the body.

"The wound on his leg is too deep, and the golden sore medicine will need to be replaced in two hours." Seeing that Boss Xiao was not around, Jiang Yu discussed with Old Man Xiao and Xiao Laoer: "The golden sore medicine can only be used once, and we have to find the medicine as soon as possible." .”

"There must be fire, otherwise Erlang will easily get evil winds into his body."

Old man Xiao hurriedly said: "The boss has already gone to find Huo Zhezi."

Xiao Laoer pushed Wu who was crying and asked urgently: "What's the use of crying! Give me the money, and I'll look for a nearby farmer."

"I feel sorry for my son..." Wu cried and unbuttoned her belt, which scared Jiang Yu and turned around quickly.

At this moment, more than half of the moon in the sky has been revealed, many stars have emerged, and the visibility is much better.

Now he turned around and saw Xiao Xiu spreading her hair.

Her black hair was trailing behind her, and the moonlight shone on her slightly sided body, making her look even more fair, gentle, and graceful.

He knew he should not look at anything inappropriate, but at this moment, he couldn't bear to look away.

Seeing him staring blankly at her eldest daughter, Ms. Liu suddenly became alert and coughed twice.

At this time, the Xiao sisters all gathered around Ms. Liu, fearing that she would catch cold, so they simply leaned together to keep warm.

On the other side, Mrs. Wu also took off the purse tightly wrapped in her waistband and handed it to him reluctantly: "There are more than two taels of silver in it. Be careful not to lose it."

Xiao Laoer took the purse and said to Old Man Xiao and the others: "Father, mother, I will definitely come before dawn."

Xiao Dalang also stood up and followed him: "Father, I will go with you."

"No, your uncle and I are not here, so you have to stay and take care of us." After Xiao Laoer finished speaking, he strode away under the cover of night.

Xiao Erlang, who was lying beside the haystack, couldn't help but groan in pain.

Lin Xuan also nervously hugged her sister beside him, not knowing what to do.

Mrs. Wu looked at the two brothers, finally took a deep breath, and said shockingly: "Miss Lin, tell me, it was my waiter who saved you earlier."

Without waiting for her to speak, she quickly said: "You have to repay this life-saving grace, right? The second child is too young and is not suitable for you, so why don't you marry the eldest of my family? When we get there, we can choose someone Let’s get engaged first on a good day, right?”

Now she only has twenty taels of silver notes left, as well as a silver hairpin and a silver bracelet (all the spoils of the inn, she also received a share, and she was reluctant to exchange them for silver).

But the eldest son is getting older, and now that his family is poor, he may have to rent a house, which will definitely make it difficult to find a daughter-in-law.

Now count every one you catch.

No matter what, he couldn't let his youngest son get injured in vain, and save others in vain, right?

Lin Xuan was stunned, not knowing what to say.

It was Erlang who saved her, but she let herself marry Dalang?

Of course, she is four or five years older than Erlang, so marrying Erlang is definitely not allowed.

But can this life-saving grace be attributed to Dalang?

Xiao Dalang felt that his mother was a bit repaying a favor and embarrassed him. He could dig out three bedrooms and one living room with his feet. He stepped forward and whispered: "Mom, don't be like this!" Even if he wanted to find a daughter-in-law for nothing, he had to say it in private. , said it in front of Jiang Yu, didn’t it reveal that they had deceived him?

After all, did Jiang Yu think that his uncle had five daughters?

This made Xiao Dalang so anxious that he wanted to block his mother's mouth.

Mrs. Wu had previously secretly told her eldest son in private that he should talk to Lin Xuan more and marry her in the future, so that he could save the bride price.

At that time, I was deeply afraid that my son would not be willing to do so. He also said that although Lin Xuan’s family was gone, her grandfather and others were still there, so they would still give some subsidies to the sisters.

Now she thought it was Dalang who didn't want to, and said, "Don't think that I didn't hear it. It was you who asked my second brother to save people!"

She didn't understand. Why should the eldest son hide his good deeds?

How could his own son be so stupid?

Fortunately, she was smart and had already thought about it. Lin Xuan would marry her eldest son, and Lin Long was the same age as her second son. It would be good for her sisters to marry their brothers in the future.

There is also a lack of conflicts between sisters-in-law.

When Lin Xuan heard this, her face turned red with embarrassment. Thinking of the fear and despair of suffocating in the river at that time, she couldn't say that this was not a life-saving grace.

Xiao Erlang also did not forget to say good things for his elder brother: "Sister Lin, it is indeed my elder brother who asked me to go back and take care of you."

Everyone present knew that the Xiao sisters Fu You were extremely skilled, so the only ones Erlang could take care of were the Lin sisters.

He also weakly added: "If a sister-in-law drowns and refuses to help, she is a jackal; if a man and a woman accept and accept each other without being intimate, it is a courtesy; if a sister-in-law drowns, giving her a helping hand is a right!"

He also couldn't stand his eldest brother's cautious appearance. Since he liked someone, he just said it.

That's why I decided to help my eldest brother.

He also told Lin Xuan not to be embarrassed because he saved her, because he regarded her as his sister-in-law.

Mrs. Wu couldn't understand what her second son was saying, and wanted him to speak in human language.

However, after hearing the word sister-in-law, she quickly forced Lin Xuan to agree: "Miss Lin, look at Erlang calling you sister-in-law, can you give me the right word?"

Lin Xuan was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to raise her head and responded in a low voice: "I do."

In fact, she had already had this idea.

In the past few months, her parents had died, leaving her alone and helpless. She was also forced to marry by a petty official who was about the same age as her father.

In fact, she had already planned to compromise, but she didn't expect to encounter Cheng Po.

After informing the Xiao family and asking them to give their sister a ride, the journey was not peaceful.

If it weren't for the protection of the Xiao family, the sisters might have fallen into the hands of bandits, or they might have been eaten by wild wolves.

At that time, she had thought that if the Xiao family did not want their sisters to have free money, she would marry Xiao Dalang.

Thinking back to when she discovered that Miss Wu was very kind to Xiao Dalang and often talked to him in private or followed him to mow the grass, why was she still worried that she had a competitor?

Fortunately, when the Xiao family was in trouble, the Wu family all ran away.

Along the way, the sisters really relied on the Xiao family to survive.

And Xiao Dalang did take good care of her along the way.

Besides, now that both of their sisters' parents are dead, even if they return to the Lin family, not all their uncles will see them go back and get a share of the family business.

No, my aunt and my brother-in-law haven't come back, which means that my family has no men. I'm afraid they will just marry them off.

Then who knows if they will be married off to inappropriate families just for profit?
