After eating and drinking, the boss of the thieves stood up and said, "If I don't come back tonight, you two will keep this man in jail."
After saying that, he opened the door and walked out.
Not long after he left, the second child said to the third child: "I haven't eaten meat for several days. After drinking, I miss women even more."
"Second brother, can't you bear it? Tomorrow we will hand over the matter and get the money, can't you just find a comfortable place to go?" The third child didn't want the second child to leave.
"Third brother, that's not what you said. After we get the money tomorrow, we have to leave the city as soon as possible. You also know that I have a sweetheart, and I have to see her before leaving. Otherwise, I will always have this in my heart.
I miss her so much." The second child's tone was full of pleading, and it was hard to tell that he was still a lover.
The third child thought for a while, sighed, and said: "Okay, we are brothers. You have already said this, so I have to let you go. But you have to come back early, don't let the boss
Got it, you also know his temper."
"Don't worry, don't worry! Good brother, I thank you, brother." After the second child finished speaking, he went out happily.
Only the third child and Zheng Wuji were left in the room. He was drunk and lay on the bed, fast asleep.
After sleeping for a while, he woke up and said, "Damn it, these two people have gone out. It's really unlucky to leave me here alone, facing a living dead!"
He got up and went outside to relieve himself, then came back to see Zheng Wuji: "Damn, this kid is really big-hearted, he can still sleep. Maybe he fainted from hunger."
He walked back and forth on the ground several times, rubbed his hands and said, "In order to do this business, I haven't entered the casino for more than half a month. It's best to gamble twice during such a long night."
But he hesitated very much: "But it won't work if no one is looking at him!"
But in the end, he couldn't restrain his gambling urge. He checked the rope on Zheng Wuji's body and said, "He shouldn't be able to run away. No one is coming here, and it's impossible for anyone to save him. I'm just going to play a few tricks, and I won't come back then."
Late."
After saying that, he took the money and went out, not forgetting to lock the door from the outside.
Zheng Wuji lowered his head and listened to the sound of Lao San's footsteps getting farther and farther away until he stopped hearing them.
He knew that if he still wanted to live, he had to seize this only chance.
He was tied to the chair and couldn't move. He couldn't see his eyes and didn't know what was around him.
He could only rely on his impression that there was a table directly in front of him, a wall behind him, and a stove on the left, so he tried his best to fall to the right.
The person fell heavily to the ground with the chair, and Zheng Wuji couldn't even feel the pain.
When he fell down, he broke a bowl. The broken porcelain fragments splashed on him, and he was delighted.
He moved his body hard and grabbed a palm-sized piece of porcelain with his backhand.
The fracture of the porcelain piece is very sharp and can be used as a knife.
Zheng Wuji's hands were tied and he couldn't make any big movements. He could only rub the piece of porcelain against the rope on his wrist.
After a while, his hand became sore, and he took a breath and continued to rub it.
He didn't dare to stay too long for fear that someone would come back.
In that case, not only would he not be able to escape, but he would die faster.
If these thieves found out that he was trying to escape, they would be furious.
Beads of sweat appeared on Zheng Wuji's forehead. He was scared, anxious, happy and terrified.
If he was allowed to live with such a mood for a day, he would go crazy.
There were blood blisters on his hands, and he barely twisted his wrists before finally breaking the rope on his hands.
The moment the rope broke, Zheng Wuji let out a sigh of relief.
But he still didn't dare to relax, so he shook off the rope and tore off the black cloth covering his eyes.
Only then did I realize that there were no lights in the room, and only dim moonlight shone in through a small window.
He didn't care to take a closer look at the situation in the room and quickly untied the rope from his legs.
Grain Curse
Because the blood did not return after being tied for too long, the legs were numb.
Zheng Wuji beat his legs hard to help them regain consciousness quickly.
He walked windingly to the door. Then he remembered that the third child had locked the door from the outside when he left.
The only place I can go out now is the small window.
Zheng Wuji dragged the chair that had fallen to the ground, stepped on it, and tried hard to hold on to the window lattice, and got out of the window in a hurry.
After climbing out of the window, he did not run immediately, but huddled in the corner and carefully looked at the surrounding situation.
This should be a mass grave in the north of the city. The house he was staying in just now should be the tombkeeper's house, but it was occupied by the three thieves for some reason.
But this place is not far from the city gate, only two miles.
No wonder one of the two thieves went to whoring and the other to gamble.
Look at the position of the moon, the city gate should be closing soon.
Zheng Wuji didn't care much and ran towards the city.
As he ran, he swore in his heart that unless there were extremely special circumstances in his life, he would never walk at night again.
Zheng family.
Sikandar took a few servants to inspect every part of the mansion.
The lights in the west courtyard were on, and the sound of wooden fish could be heard.
It was the two sisters-in-law from Qiuyue Temple who were reciting sutras. They had been staying at Zheng's house these days.
"Steward Si, you are going to redeem me tomorrow, who will you take with you then?" Xiaoshun asked.
"You can't bring too many people, otherwise they will alert the enemy. Just the two of us will go." Sikandar tightened her leather jacket and said.
"Then it's settled, you must take me with you." Xiao Shun was still a little worried.
"I promised you everything, and I won't regret it." Sikandar continued walking forward as he spoke, and soon arrived at the concierge.
At this time, there was a rapid banging on the door outside.
"What's going on?" Uncle Hua, who was guarding the door, was frightened when he heard this. He said as he walked out, "I'm most afraid of someone knocking on the door at night."
Sikandar and the others also walked towards the door, just to see who was banging on the door in such a hurry.
The door bolt was pulled open, and Xiao Shun held up a lantern to shine through.
Zheng Wuji stood outside the door with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes. When the door opened, he fell to the ground with a plop and fainted.
"Uncle! It's the uncle!" Everyone swarmed forward, with Xiao Shun at the forefront.
Xu Chunjun was still awake and was discussing matters with Ziling.
Sikandar ran into the yard with big strides and shouted: "The uncle is back! The uncle is back!"
Lvxu hurriedly went out, but as soon as she went out, Sikanda grabbed her shoulders and shook her: "Go and tell grandma that grandpa is back!"
"The uncle is back? Who sent him back?" Lvchun asked.
"He came back on his own," Sikandar said. "He must have suffered a lot. I have already sent for a doctor."
"Does Madam know?" Lvchun asked.
"Oh, I'm afraid you don't know yet, so I'll tell you right now." Sikandar said and ran out.
"Why do you look like a monkey?" Green Ulva looked disgusted.
