On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 338 Self-Defense
Lin Xuan was so frightened that she lost her mind.

It was just dawning now, and the north wind was whistling by, making it gloomy and gloomy, just like those scenes in anecdotes about ghosts looking for a substitute.

But when she found the 'ghost' tugging at her clothes, she realized that the other person's rapid tone was hot. How could this be a ghost?

Lin Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she discovered that the person who attacked her was a human and not a ghost.

The Xiao sisters were so powerful that she didn't even have a chance to do anything.

But she had also 'seen' the world, so she stopped struggling, closed her eyes, tilted her head, and cried silently, just like a resigned little girl without any opinion.

Seeing this, Xie Yao relaxed his vigilance and started talking nonsense: "The little beauty smells so good, so good..."

Lin Xuan tilted her head and saw that the woodcutter was a little far away. She could only give up and groped quietly on the ground with her hands.

In this wilderness, the most indispensable thing is stones.

But she was like this, the big stone was too heavy for her to lift, and she couldn't touch the big stone.

She didn't deserve to die, so she touched a stone as big as a palm.

Depressingly, there is still a small half of the stone buried in the ground.

Regardless of the pain in her hand, she dug it out hard, looked at him with half-open eyes, and hit him hard on the temple.

She didn't know whether the stone was too small or she was not strong enough, but the man screamed in pain and swayed back and forth like a roly-poly.

Lin Xuan didn't dare to delay and hit his head hard again and again.

Soon the man fell to the ground. She was still a little scared and ran back immediately, just in time to see Xiao Xiao coming out.

Xiao Xiao used to wish she could get up at three o'clock in the morning, but today she had to get up early and rush on the road, so she could only get up early in a sleepy state.

Seeing Lin Xuan running in with a panicked look on her face, she was so frightened that she suddenly became alert: "What's wrong? Are there rebels coming?"

"No, no, I seem to have killed someone."

Xiao Xiao held her hand and noticed that her whole body was trembling, so he comforted her softly: "If he can force you to do something cruel, he must deserve to die."

She just helped her but didn't care. After a few words of comfort, she asked about what happened.

After hearing her stumbling words, Xiao Xiao immediately praised: "Well done, you are eliminating harm for the people. You go back and freshen up first, and I will go to the scene to take a look."

If it were anything else, Xiao Xiao would definitely let someone else bury the body.

But this was related to Lin Xuan's reputation, so she decided to go alone.

When I went out, I also grabbed a woodcutter.

If he is not completely dead, I will make up for it myself.

If he died, the kitchen knife wouldn't be suitable for digging a hole. The most she could do was cut some thatch and pile it on him.

The main reason is that they don't want to confront the Chen family, otherwise they will have no chance of winning.

She just wanted to cover it up first. After they left, no one would be able to suspect them if they were discovered again, right?

It didn't matter even if they were suspicious, they were probably already far away by then.

When Xiao Xiao walked in the direction Lin Xuan said, he soon saw the man who had made no sound.

The blood on his forehead has changed color, and his eyes are wide open, staring blankly.

Xiao Xiao diligently began to cut thatch and pile it on him.

Mainly because it's not far from where they live, but she knows that many men don't like to go to the toilet, but go directly to the hillside to solve their three urgent needs. It would be bad if they found out.

But with such a pile, they must have thought that someone was cutting grass for the fire, and they would avoid it instead of rummaging through it.

Xiao Xiao was very efficient at work, and he had already covered the person in less than a cup of tea.

She threw the woodcutter into the haystack and then went down the mountain from the other side. She happened to meet the maid next to Mrs. Li coming out carrying a toilet.

Fortunately, the maid thought she was here to pay her respects: "Madam, are you morning? Isn't Madam up yet?"

Xiao Xiao sighed: "When I think about being separated from my mother, I feel particularly uneasy."

The maid felt that she seemed to understand, and the eldest young lady wanted to regret it.

She also thought it was normal. The terrain here was secluded, and with the two guards together, there were a lot of people.

When the young lady and the others leave, who knows what dangers they will encounter on the road?

However, the maid was helpless when it came to whether the eldest mistress should stay or leave, so she could only smile apologetically with her and leave.

Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment, but decided to stick to her good reputation of being 'filial', so she went in quietly. Mother Zhou, who was still dozing off, felt like she was seeing a ghost when she saw her.

Zhou's mother suspected that she was dreaming. After all, it was impossible for the eldest young lady to get up so early, so she closed her eyes subconsciously.

When she opened it again, she saw that the eldest young lady was still there, so she forced a smile and said, "Eldest young lady, are you here?"

"Madam, you haven't gotten up yet? How about I go back and have a rest first?"

Xiao Xiao said to Zhou's mother: "You really can't disturb mother. I'm looking for you the same way. We are old and weak, and our health is not very good. We have to rush now, so I just want to ask my mother to give me some ginseng." , red ginseng and the like can also replenish the body.”

Mother Zhou also admired the fact that the eldest mistress could tell lies with her eyes open without changing her expression.

For someone like the eldest young lady who can ride a horse, shoot an arrow, and eat a lot every meal, I am afraid that if she is in good health, she can kill a cow.

Nowadays, there is a shortage of medical treatment and medicine, so she has the nerve to say this.

Mother Zhou sighed with a bitter look on her face: "Madam, it's really not because I am unwilling. All the valuables around Madam are under the control of Granny Liang..."

Xiao Xiao heard her say a lot of bad things about Tongliang's mother, so she thought she was listening to a cross talk.

After she finished speaking, she sighed: "That's all, I can't force anyone to do anything. I'll say goodbye to my wife later."

"No need," Zhou's mother said with a look of reluctance: "Madam hates separation the most, and is afraid of making people sad. I told you last night to let you go quietly."

"When the general and the eldest son return in triumph, they will send someone to take the eldest mistress back to the house. Please take care of the eldest mistress."

Of course, they all knew that Mrs. Li would never be reluctant to part with it. She was afraid that Xiao Xiao would ask for something.

As expected, the eldest mistress really came to ask for ginseng.

After this delay, the sky became a little brighter. The masters still hadn't moved, but the maids and women had already started to get busy.

Those who boil water, prepare breakfast, do laundry, and sweep the floor.

Xiao Xiao returned to the place where the maids and women were staying temporarily amid the greetings from the maids and women.

The Lin sisters were resting together with the Xiao sisters. She pushed the door open and saw Lin Xuan standing by the door waiting for her.

"Okay, the man is already dead. I cut some grass and piled it on him." Xiao Xiao patted her shoulder: "Calm down, let's go. Even if we are discovered, there will be no suspicion on us." Come."

"Get up!" Xiao Xiu opened his eyes drowsily: "Third sister, did you get up so early today?"

She was a little sleepy these days. Seeing Xiao Xiao getting up, she thought she got up too late, so she quickly got up: "Have our things been packed?"
