Zhang Xing and the others were led into the courtyard to live in two, Shi and the other five boys lived in five rooms lined up in the front yard, and Zhang Xing lived in the backyard with Wu Po, who didn't speak.

There are three rooms in the backyard, Zhang Xing and Wu Po each live in one, and the remaining one is locked in the door.

There are not many houses in this courtyard - five in the front yard, three in the backyard, and the left and right wings, a total of twelve houses. However, the area of the yard is not small, with trees and flowers, and mountain and stone verandahs. There is a small gate between the front and back yards, and they can walk around the yard as they please. It's just that you can't get out of the gate of the courtyard, and the gate is guarded day and night.

They stayed in the yard for several days, eating and drinking, and the stones and the other children's injuries were getting better, but the children's personalities were all changed drastically, and it seemed that the old days of playing were gone, and all the children became unusually silent, and did not speak to others. Zhang Xing and Shi are the same, but the two of them are still very close to each other compared to other children, although they both speak less, they are always together.

In this yard, except for a few children, there are a few little maids who take care of their food and clothing, although these people work neatly, but they are all silent, only send food and drink on time, obey orders, and never speak. At first, Zhang Xing thought that these people were the same as Wu Po, they were also mute, but later she realized that Lu Dao was not.

They seemed to have been forgotten, no one paid attention to them in this courtyard, and more than ten days passed, and Meng Ye did not come to see them.

After a night of mountain wind, the leaves are all over the ground, and the cold autumn is quietly coming. Zhang Xing was in the stone room, hearing the footsteps of the little man who delivered the food, walking away, looking at the stone, and asked the words that had been hesitating for a long time in his heart: "Stone, do you want to leave here?" ”

The stone stopped his chopsticks suddenly, looked at Zhang Xing in a daze, suddenly got up again, went to the door to look left and right, turned back, his face was solemn, and asked, "Xing'er, what did you just say?" “

Zhang Xing looked at him and said softly, "Stone, I'm going to leave here." ”

Shi's face changed greatly, his expression was excited, he scratched his head, and seemed to not know what to say for a while, after half a sound, Fang lowered his voice and said, "Xing'er, you have to think clearly." This place is like an iron cage, and we can't leave it, unless, unless we don't die! ”

Zhang Xing noticed the two words "we" in the stone words, and her heart warmed, but she still couldn't help but smile sarcastically, and said, "Keep here?" If you stay here, you will be able to live? ”

The stone was stunned for a moment, Zhang Xing remembered the words of Meng Ye that day, and said: "Xu can live for a while, and there is food and drink, but our life will not be our own from now on." Stone, I'm not afraid of hardship, I'm not afraid of risking my life, but I don't want to live like this. ”

She originally thought that selling herself was about two ends, one was to be a slave and a maid, and the other was to fall into the courtyard of the Goolan Yard, the slaves and maids of the rich families had many rules, and she was a person who didn't understand anything, and it was difficult to live a good life, but she did not have high requirements for life, she was honest, she did her duty, and slowly saved some money to redeem herself, which may not be impossible. As for the Goolan courtyard, she was unlucky to fall into that situation, which was nothing more than to take the flesh and skin on her body as a thing, save some money, and then get out of the fire pit. No matter how difficult it is, there is always hope for life.

But what about now? Then the big masters such as Meng Ye and Zhu Ye didn't treat them as human beings from beginning to end, let them kill each other, take the best of them, let them learn to kill from the beginning, what are you going to let them do? I guess it's all about killing. If she doesn't run away now, she won't be able to get out of this life for the rest of her life.

What is the difference between being dead and being alive on such days?

Shi looked at Zhang Xing's reddish eyes, scratched his head vigorously, scratched his hair that was originally combed smoothly, suddenly patted the table, and said categorically: "Okay, since we want to leave, then we have to do it as soon as possible, if we wait for a few injuries next door to heal, then the surname Meng will show up, and we won't be able to leave when we have wings." I'll go tomorrow to see if there's any other way out of this courtyard than the gate. As for you, in the past few days, you will go to the wings on both sides to walk around more, and eat and drink on our way. By the way, by the way, I touched the kitchen knife out of the kitchen, and when we encountered difficulties on the road, we also have something to take advantage of. ”

Zhang Xing grabbed the stone's hand and said, "Stone, I've thought about these a long time ago." ”

"Got it figured?" Shi looked at Zhang Xing in surprise.

Zhang Xing nodded and said, "We don't have to find a way out, we can get out of this courtyard." ”

Stone's eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief. There was only one gate in and out of the courtyard as far as he knew, and the gate was guarded day and night, and there were not just two of them. The courtyard wall is high, and how to go up and down is a big problem. Also, although he has only walked around the outside of this yard once, he also knows that there must be patrols on the road. The patrols were not like the ones they had seen in the small villages, the villagers who only shouted with a stick and did not use their hands, they were all people who got their knives and held their swords, and killed people without blinking an eye.

Zhang Xing said a few words to the stone. After listening to this, Shi looked at Zhang Xing for a while, nodded for a long time, and said, "Okay, this method is good, just tonight, after the Wu Po next door to you sleeps, I will come to you." ”

Zhang Xing shook his head and said, "You don't have to look for me, that Wu Po is very fine, if she hears the noise, we won't be able to leave, you just wait for me at the door of that house." ”

The stone thought for a moment, nodded again, and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you." ”

The two agreed on the matter, and the stone was inevitably excited, but seeing that Zhang Xing didn't have any turmoil on her face, she thought that she had done so many things these days, and she was always with her, but she didn't realize it at all. He secretly took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart - he and her were born for a year, she was still a woman, and she couldn't be compared too much.

Therefore, although Shi knew that he was going to act this night, he couldn't see it on his face at all, he should eat, sleep, and still be in a daze, and no one in this originally quiet courtyard could see the flaws.

It was easy to get dark, and the yard was full of lights, and when the yard was quiet, the stone quietly got up, deliberately picked up a few pieces of clothing and made a bag, made a mess of the room, and quietly went out. When I touched the backyard, I saw that the lights in Mrs. Wu's room had not been extinguished, so I realized that I had come out early.

But when he went back, he couldn't sleep, thinking about Zhang Xing and saying that she had made an illusion on the plane tree in the backyard. Although I have seen it during the day, it is difficult to guarantee that after they leave, the illusion will be cleared away. So the stone crept under the plane tree, looked at it carefully, thought about it, moved several stepping stones under the tree, and stepped on a few footprints to go up, pretending that someone had gone up the tree. He tore off a small strip of cloth from his shirt and hung it on the tree.

After doing this, I circled around the tree, and I couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the stone touched back, the light in Wu Po's room had been extinguished, and the backyard was quiet, he squatted at the door of the uninhabited room that had an appointment with Zhang Xing and waited, not long, Zhang Xing's door opened, Zhang Xing poked his head out to look left and right, the stone was about to greet him, thinking of Zhang Xing's explanation, he quickly covered his mouth and retracted it.

Zhang Xing went straight to this side, and the stone came out. The two rounded, came to the door of the empty house, the stone touched the lock on the door, and was thinking about finding a way to open it, Zhang Xing grabbed him, took out a thin iron bar from his arms, stabbed it twice, and when he pulled it, the door opened.

Shi looked at Zhang Xing in surprise and whispered, "You are even ready to pick the lock." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Xing replied vaguely, in fact, her ability was due to the profession of her previous life, thinking that at that time, in order to strike first, she got a strong evidence, and specially found a master to learn for three days.

The door opened, and the stone was about to enter, Zhang Xing suddenly grabbed him, the stone turned around, saw Zhang Xing frowning, and didn't know what he was listening to, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Xing listened for a while and said, "You, have you heard anyone crying?" ”

Shi Shi was stunned for a while, and listened for a while, and suddenly said: "Oh, it's the guy next door, crying and screaming in the middle of the night, I heard it a few times." ”

Zhang Xing stretched out the iron bar to lock the door, and asked in a low voice, "Isn't Ye Huan the person who lives next door to you?" It's so good during the day, how can you cry at this time? ”

Shi snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "It's uncomfortable, I killed my own brother, and I didn't sleep every night, so he was able to do it." ”

Zhang Xing's movements in her hand couldn't help but stop, Shi looked at her hand, and said: "Xing'er, don't look at me like that, I didn't wronged him, that time the two brothers were in a cage, but next to me, his brother screamed so loudly, I don't think it's hard to hear it." ”
