Zhou Ying raised her eyebrows, "I want to hear about it." ”

Lin Ze raised his hand and pointed to the cell, "I don't know how many people go back and forth in this cell, there are many people from wealthy families, and they also said that they would wait for their father and mother to pay the ransom to take them home, but in the end, some died, some were sold, but none of them returned home." ”

As he spoke, Lin Ze suddenly patted his head again, "No, there are also people who go back, but they should be carried directly into the ancestral grave." ”

Zhou Ying was not surprised by this, and only asked, "Have you been here for a long time?" Otherwise, how do you know this? ”

Lin Ze shook his injured hand, glanced at Zhou Ying's thin little body, and the small oil bottle Zhou Jue beside her, and sighed, "If I hadn't escaped several times, the injury on my hand would not have healed for a while, how could I hope to join forces with you." ”

For Lin Ze's outspokenness, Zhou Ying was not angry. These are the truths, Lin Ze pointed out calmly, but let her rest assured, if she blindly avoided talking about it, it would make people think that he had ulterior motives.

Zhou Ying looked at Lin Ze's injured hand carefully, it was indeed bruised and swollen, and his finger bones were bent.

But in these years, there are not a few people who deliberately damage the child's body and sell miserably to beg, so Zhou Ying naturally will not be gullible. However, on Lin Ze's intact hand, there are thin calluses between his fingers, his fingers are slender and white, and his behavior is moderate, and this kind of conversation and upbringing is really not like what those traffickers who are full of foul language and illiterate characters can teach.

Originally, when Zhou Ying escaped, Lin Ze was needed to either join the gang or turn a blind eye, but now he took the initiative to propose, which was exactly what she wanted.

Zhou Ying handed the remaining steamed buns to Lin Ze and said, "Eat something first, let's pad your stomach." "Since it was decided that we wanted to run away together, it was necessary to increase the number of bodies. As for her escape plan, Zhou Ying still kept an eye on it.

Lin Ze took the steamed bun, accepted Zhou Ying's overtures, and guessed Zhou Ying's concerns, so he didn't ask Zhou Ying about his plan, and took the initiative to talk about his experience, "I picked the lock at night when everyone was asleep, and fled as far as the intersection at the end of the street, but this whole street was greeted by Cai Ye, and as soon as someone saw me at such an age and described as a wolf, they guessed where I came from." ”

Zhou Ying couldn't help frowning, if this was the case, it would be a little difficult.

Lin Ze laughed at himself: "It's me who is too stupid, I just thought I met a good person, but I didn't expect that people invited me into the house to avoid curfew, and the back foot called Cai Ye to arrest me back." It was also after two times that I realized that the timing was too coincidental and became suspicious. ”

Zhou Ying's heart moved, "Your hand was injured at that time?" ”

Lin Ze nodded, "The last time I almost escaped, I didn't hold my breath after I was caught, and questioned the old woman on the spot, but the old woman only said that I was a fugitive slave." Because of this, Cai Ye knew that he couldn't deceive me, and he was afraid that I would run away again, so he directly abolished my right hand. ”

Zhou Ying asked, "How many days have you been injured?" ”

Lin Ze knew what Zhou Ying wanted to ask, and his tone was calm, "Thirteen days." Even if you run away immediately, find the best doctor, and use the best medicine, this hand will be useless. Maybe if you're lucky, you can restore your normal appearance, but you can't practice calligraphy and sword practice. ”

Zhou Ying couldn't help but feel sympathy and opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to comfort Lin Ze.

In this era, there are no more than two roads: civil and military. Lin Ze can fall under this situation, and he has planned to escape alone several times, although he has been defeated repeatedly, he is not discouraged, this mental cultivation is obviously not a scum who only knows how to eat and wait for death.

Lin Ze saw that Zhou Ying was sad for him, waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay, fortunately, he also left me with his left hand, it's a big deal to start all over again." ”

Although Lin Ze said it lightly, Zhou Ying knew that it was not easy to start all over again.

How many people are squeezed on the road of meritorious service, and others are rushing forward in a thousand miles, but he has to start learning from the basic skills of skimming strokes and holding a sword and slashing......

Fortunately, Sister-in-law Wu came back at this time, and Zhou Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and this topic finally ended here.

Sister-in-law Wu has made a windfall, she is so happy to walk with the wind, she has always been the best to drink, and she can usually drink three or five taels of wine by herself when she has nothing to do. Now that there is a happy event, it is even more important to drink to celebrate, so I specially hugged a jar of good wine and prepared to drink a few glasses.

This is indeed as Zhou Ying expected.

Sister-in-law Wu is a good drinker and greedy cup, she wants to drink to celebrate when she is happy, she drinks and scolds her mother when she is unhappy, and once she is drunk, she sleeps like a dead pig, and she will never wake up again unless she changes the guard.

It is true that Zhou Ying can provoke Sister-in-law Wu, after all, when she is angry, she gets drunk faster, and she can still have jade ears left, but this is more likely to attract Sister-in-law Wu to beat and scold, you must know that Sister-in-law Wu is not a good-hearted woman. Zhou Ying's injuries were just right, and she still needed strength to escape, so it was impossible for her to add any more injuries to herself. It's just a pair of earrings, which can be exchanged for food and water to increase the body, and can also abolish the caretaker of Sister-in-law Wu, why not?

After Zhou Ying and the three of them finished eating steamed buns and drinking enough water, they leaned on the straw, closed their eyes to recuperate, and accumulated their bodies.

Sister-in-law Wu was humming a slang song of Xiangyan, and at the same time, she drank happily with bacon jerky and pork trotters in sauce. It was not until more than half an hour had passed that Sister-in-law Wu lay on the table, drunk to death, the smell of wine and the snoring sound was shocking.

Lin Ze asked, "Do you know how to pick the lock?" No, I'll teach you. ”

Zhou Ying's original plan was to tie her and Zhou Jue's sweat towels together, tie them into a noose, put them on Wu's sister-in-law, and pull her to the fence so that she could remove the key from her waist. But there are hidden dangers in this way, although Sister-in-law Wu slept to death, but this is a set and a drag, in case someone is tossed and woken up, it will be a bad thing. Since Lin Ze can pick the lock, it is naturally better.

Zhou Ying asked, "How to pry?" ”

Lin Ze took out two wires from the straw pile under him, thought about it, and only handed one to Zhou Ying, "If you teach it from the beginning, I'm afraid it will take too long." Anyway, I can still move my left hand, so you can help me from the side. ”

Of course, Zhou Ying has nothing to do.

On the fence gate is a copper lock, concave rectangular shape, the keyhole is in a straight line, the surface is smooth, and there is no trace of carving and etching throughout the body.

Lin Ze lifted the copper lock and explained in detail: "The lock is composed of three parts, one is the lock body, the second is the key, and the third is the lock bolt, of which the lock bolt is composed of beams and reeds. When locked, the reeds on the bolt open to press against the inner wall of the lock. To unlock the lock, the key must be inserted so that the key head squeezes the reeds and moves the bolt. ”

Zhou Ying understood, "So if you want to pick the lock, the main thing is to squeeze the reed with the right force and angle?" ”

Lin Ze nodded, and gave Zhou Ying a demonstration, asking her to listen and touch, and write down the feeling when the reed was dialed to the correct position. Lin Ze taught carefully, Zhou Ying studied seriously, and soon Zhou Ying entered the doorway, the two ran in for a while, and had a tacit understanding, one left and one right lying on the fence door, holding the wire and moving it right for a while, and it didn't take long to hear a "click" sound, and the door lock opened.

The two rolled their eyes and couldn't help but smile at each other.

Lin Ze took off the lock, pushed open the fence gate, and Zhou Ying led Zhou Jue and stepped out of the door together.

Zhou Ying took off the hemp rope hanging on the wall, tied Sister-in-law Wu's hands and feet respectively, picked up a rag at the foot of the table, and stuffed it into Sister-in-law Wu's mouth, so Sister-in-law Wu hadn't woken up yet. Zhou Ying took off the key from Sister-in-law Wu's waist and prepared to go up the ladder and open the secret door.

Lin Ze's right hand was injured, which was considered half-disabled, so naturally he would not rob Zhou Ying.

However, Lin Ze thought about it, picked up two wooden sticks from the corner of the wall, turned his hand upside down, and handed one to Zhou Ying, "This secret door is open in the house, and it is a utility room up to it, and there is usually no one else, but in case, you should be careful." ”

Zhou Ying took the wooden stick and smiled, "I will." She bent down again, straightened Zhou Jue's collar, and said gently, "Xiao Jue is waiting here obediently, and my sister will come down to pick you up later." ”

Zhou Jue nodded obediently, "I will obediently stay still and wait for my sister." ”

Zhou Ying stood up, touched the top of Zhou Jue's hair, turned around and went up the ladder, took the key to open the secret door, and flipped it up lightly. There was really no one in the house, Zhou Ying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she beckoned and asked Lin Ze to come up.

This utility room is small, with a lot of messy things stacked on top of each other, wardrobes, stools, willow baskets, and tables, squeezing a small utility room with little room to stay. The two of them first closed the secret door on the ground, listened to the movement outside, and then carefully pushed open the side door.

The smell of fish, along with the sound of men and women love, came together, and Zhou Ying couldn't help but stiffen under her feet.

These two voices are not unfamiliar, one is Hu San, who has a grudge against her, and the other is Yuxiang, one of her cellmates. However, Yuxiang rarely spoke, and even if she opened her mouth, she cried and begged for mercy, which was obviously not reluctant.

Lin Ze's face was as usual, and he opened a crack in the door and looked out. found that Hu San and Yuxiang were both on the bed, Hu San had his back to their direction, and there was a half screen blocking it, and they were investing, as long as they were light, they would not be found moving.

Lin Zebi gestured, asked Zhou Ying to go down and lead Zhou Jue up, and then left quietly.

Zhou Ying couldn't ignore Yuxiang's crying and begging for mercy, she closed her eyes and pointed in the direction of the bed, indicating that she couldn't ignore it. Lin Ze's eyes widened, and after a moment, he shook his head helplessly, took a step back, and motioned for her to take care of herself.

Zhou Ying took a deep breath, stood on tiptoe, clenched the wooden stick, bypassed the screen, and approached the bed little by little.

Hu Sanzheng was riding on Yuxiang, full of foul language, disgusted with Yuxiang's dead fish. Hu San's back was facing out of the bed, but Yuxiang was facing Zhou Ying's direction. Yuxiang saw Zhou Ying quietly stepping forward with a wooden stick in hand, and a bright light flashed in her bleak eyes.

Yuxiang took the initiative to get up, stretched out a pair of jade hands, held Hu San's cheeks left and right, and pretended to be coquettish and happy, which really attracted Hu San's attention. Hu San's head was fixed by Yuxiang, and Zhou Ying raised the wooden stick and smashed it into the back of Hu San's head.

only heard the sound of "bang", and Hu San fell down in response.

Zhou Ying saw that the blow was hit, and Hu San fainted, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Yuxiang pushed Hu San away, naked, lifted the porcelain pillow at the head of the bed, and smashed it into Hu San's face like crazy.
