The daily life of a talented young husband who travels through a book and suffers from cruelty

Chapter 114
No matter how sleepy you are walking during the day, you can't sleep well sitting at night.

A small mat was spread on the ground to cover the dust, but the mat was really cold.

Putting her bamboo basket beside her, Li Xiaodao and Cook Wang sat next to each other on the mat and wrapped themselves in quilts. Not long after, she heard that Cook Wang next to her was breathing evenly and seemed to have fallen asleep.

Li Xiaodao was also extremely sleepy, but he would wake up after sitting and squinting for a while, wake up and look around, and tried to fall asleep again, but he couldn't sleep well, and kept waking up and sleeping, falling asleep and waking up again.

She finally gave up struggling, just wake up if she can't fall asleep, she will always be sleepy enough to fall asleep.

Occasionally, there are people passing by at night to escape from distress. If there are three or two people who do not have a carriage or a cart, they can travel at night, but in general it is dangerous to travel at night, not to mention the thieves and robbers on the road. There is also the danger of encountering wild animals on mountain roads, especially at night.

Li Xiaodao sat there thinking, I'm afraid it's not the hardest thing to go to Anzhou these two days, the most difficult thing is how to settle down in Anzhou and whether he can eat.There is also whether Anzhou City can be held, and whether it will continue to go north.

And it’s okay if it doesn’t rain, no matter how cold it is in winter, people here won’t freeze to death like in the north, but if it rains, it’s not good, because you can’t even sleep in an open-air tent.

It's really not easy for the elder brother. There are a dozen people with his sister-in-law and the cook at home, and they have to be properly arranged.

Li Xiaodao sighed softly, it must be midnight now, she tried to keep her body still, so as not to wake up Cook Wang next to her.

The fire had not been fueled and was about to go out. Li Xiaodao looked around at the other people sleeping around. Everyone was dozing with their heads down. No one could not fall asleep like her.

What surprised her the most was her sister-in-law. Since she started fleeing, her sister-in-law doesn't seem to be so picky anymore, and she is sleeping soundly at the moment.

Except for Li Xiaodao, everyone else had escaped twice, this was the third time, and they seemed to be used to it.

Li Xiaodao looked around and felt that his sleepiness had come back again. Just as he was about to lower his head and doze off, he suddenly noticed some movement from his brother and sister-in-law.

The elder brother crawled out cautiously from under the quilt, looking very funny.

Li Xiaodao slightly opened his eyes and looked in his brother's direction, wanting to see what he was going to do.

Brother Li Xiaoxin carefully checked that his wife was indeed asleep, and then glanced at the others. The watchman was outside the shed, and the others were also asleep, but he didn't seem to notice that his sister was still awake.

He tiptoed to the back of the carriage, and after taking out the quilt, the carriage was a little empty. He got into the carriage and fiddled with it for a while, and when he came out, he grabbed a handful of broken silver in his hand, and hurriedly stuffed the broken silver into his arms when he got off the carriage. , I thought I was unaware, but I didn't expect that when I turned around and glanced again, I found that my sister was looking at him with big black and bright eyes.

Li Xiaodao smiled at his brother, then lowered his head and closed his eyes to continue sleeping.

Li Xiaoxin wanted to go to his sister and tell her to be quiet, but he was afraid of waking up other people and couldn't speak at the moment, so he looked at the sister who lowered her head and pretended to be sleeping, and sneaked into the bed from under the bed nervously, returning to her original position Sit down.

So Li Xiaoxin suffered from insomnia that night just like his younger sister.

It is impossible to get a good night's sleep when fleeing. When I heard roosters crowing in the surrounding villages, it was not yet dawn, but the guards had already told everyone to get up.

It's important to hurry.

At this time, I got up, ate, drank and cleaned up again, and it was dawn when I started on the road again.

Li Xiaodao felt dizzy in his head, and he didn't know whether he had slept or not all night. He just felt that when he couldn't sleep, the night was very long.

I was sleeping with my clothes wrapped in a quilt, and now I took off the quilt, folded it and put it back into the carriage, and my body suddenly became very cold. In addition, the temperature was already low in the early morning, and there was no hot water or firewood to keep warm, so I could only drink cold water After eating dry food, she really couldn't drink cold water, so she took a few mouthfuls of dry food and put it back.

Li Xiaoxin came to see his sister, and said to her: "Eat hard, it will take another morning to go, and you can only arrive in Anzhou in the afternoon. How can you have strength if you don't eat?"

Li Xiaodao forced a smile and replied: "I'll take out a few bites when I'm hungry, I don't have much appetite in the early morning."

Li Xiaoxin said helplessly: "Okay! That..."

He pulled his younger sister aside, looked up to see that his wife was eating dry food in the distance, then leaned close to Li Xiaodao's ear and whispered, "Sister, did you see it last night?"

Li Xiaodao was puzzled, "What did you see?"

It wasn't until she finished speaking that she realized that what her brother was talking about might be about sneaking up to the back of the carriage at night to get money.

"Oh...that", she added: "Well, I saw it, my brother took the silver..."

Before Li Xiaodao could say anything, his elder brother Li Xiaoxin hurriedly let out a heavy "shh--".

"Keep your voice down! Your sister-in-law is over there!" Li Xiaoxin was very nervous.

"Oh brother, I think my sister-in-law knows the general situation when she escapes, don't worry." Li Xiaodao was amused by his brother's appearance.

"It's because you don't know her well... Forget it, don't say these words, I just want to remind you, don't tell others what you saw last night."

"Oh, yes, I understand!" Li Xiaodao nodded, agreeing very readily.

This straightforwardness made Li Xiaoxin a little uncomfortable, "You, you just agree?"

Li Xiaodao tilted his head in doubt: "Otherwise? What should I do if I don't promise you? But brother, you are really powerful, cunning rabbit three caves, how much have you hidden..."

Li Xiaoxin let out another "shh—" and Li Xiaodao quickly shut up.

"I thought you would threaten me with this matter, so that I would ask for your prescription for killing children and grandchildren..." Li Xiaoxin murmured.

Li Xiaodao was amused by his brother, "I really want the prescription for cutting off children and grandchildren, but well, I don't want to threaten you with this kind of thing. Threats always make people feel uncomfortable, right? Don't worry, I won't say it. But having said that, what are you doing to withdraw money at night?"

Li Xiaoxin sighed softly: "When we arrive at Anzhou City in the afternoon, we have to spend some money to ask the guards guarding the city for directions and help us find a place that can shelter us from the wind and rain."

"Oh..." Li Xiaodao smiled and raised his arms to help his brother squeeze his shoulders: "Brother has worked really hard. The whole family relies on you, and the burden on your shoulders is heavy."

Li Xiaoxin enjoyed his sister's shoulder massage for a while and said proudly: "That's not bad, who made me the head of the family!"

Unexpectedly, just after finishing this sentence, he was summoned by his wife.

"Li Xiaoxin! Why don't you hurry up and set off! When the Japanese pirates catch up behind you, you won't be able to run away!"

Li Xiaoxin hurriedly responded: "Hey! Let's go! Everyone is in good spirits, ready to go! Xiaodouzi quickly put on the horse!" While talking, he hurriedly ran back and forth to work.

Seeing this scene, Li Xiaodao smiled and didn't speak, just lowered his head and touched the little ring on his finger.

Just as the sky was turning white, the escape team set off again.

"Brother, when will the pirates arrive in Anzhou City? It doesn't matter if we rested overnight last night? Will we be caught up?" Li Xiaodao asked his brother again as he walked along the road.

Li Xiaoxin smiled wryly: "How can it be so fast, the things in the provincial capital are enough for them to grab for a day or two, and it will take some time to get them on the ship and transport them back."
