Chapter 145: Escape
Looking at the small lake from afar, it feels very quiet.
Especially at this time, there is a little smoke rising from the surface of the lake, which makes people really like it at a glance.
Thyme's eyes kept scanning the surroundings.
There are so many lotus flowers growing on the edge of the lake that because of the shade of the lotus, the thyme can't see the true size of the small lake.
Thyme walked slowly along the lake, and didn't talk much, the maid was wondering what Thyme was thinking, so she could only follow slowly.
Southern Xia.
The injuries on Xiahou Chun's body have healed, but because of the fact that Thyme was taken away, Xiahou Chun has never been able to let go of his heart, no matter what others tell him, his face is stinky, which makes people very uncomfortable to look at.
And Baili Aotian and Xiahou Chun did not leave Qingshan Town, but rented a house in Qingshan Town and lived in it to heal.
After Thyme was taken away, fortunately there was Xiahou Yuchen, because of Thyme's foresight, Xiahou Yuchen took out the space stream water he carried with him and gave it to the two of them to drink.
But because the amount is relatively small, it can only be drunk by two people, and as for the wound on the body, I can only watch it heal by itself.
Baili Aotian had already reported back what happened here early, and this time he was very angry when he heard the news that Baili Xiang had been arrested.
After knowing that Xiao Ding was provoking Bailijia like this, all of a sudden Baili Xiao felt that he really wanted to do something.
It's always quiet before the storm.
Xiahou Yuchen followed Ouyang Qingchen to learn medical skills, because of this incident. Ouyang Qingchen was not in a hurry to leave.
Xiahou Yuchen said that Thyme asked Ouyang Qingchen to teach him medical skills, and when he heard such a request, Ouyang Qingchen had no reason to leave.
And Ouyang Qingchen also wanted to determine whether the thyme was safe.
Here Baili Aotian is planning how to rescue Thyme, and Thyme in the Jin Palace's Mansion has already thought of a way to save himself.
After Thyme almost circled around the lake, Thyme finally saw something different.
The lake is not walkable on all sides, and at the edge of the lake, one side is leaning against the wall of the palace, and Thyme clearly sees that there is something different on that side.
Living water means that there is water coming in and water coming out, so that the water can be circulated.
Thyme guessed that it should be the place where the water came out. Instead of flooding.
It was already dark. Thyme can't be said to have no little gain, back in her yard, Thyme has been thinking about things absentmindedly.
The maid was waiting beside her, and of course she wanted to inquire on the side.
"What is Madame worried about?"
The maid's voice was soft. On weekdays, the maid doesn't talk to thyme. Suddenly, the maid asked a question, and Thyme was still a little unaccustomed.
Hesitated. Thyme still replied: "I didn't think about anything." ”
The maid said "oh" and then stopped asking.
Until that day, the man in black came, and the man in black never appeared again for so many nights. Thyme had always wondered how reliable the man in black could be.
But today, I have determined a little bit on the side of the lake, and I have been much more steady.
On the morning of the eighth day, an unusual smell began to fill the air, and the atmosphere began to become a little oppressive.
There are now only two days left until the deadline is reached.
Thyme was naturally a little scared.
No one is afraid of death.
After Yan Luo left, the maid went out.
Thyme knew that the maid must have gone to report to Xiao Ding what happened to Yan Luo today.
Sitting next to the lotus pond, Thyme took off her shoes and put her feet in the water.
When I first put my feet in the water, the water felt a little cold.
Thyme felt very comfortable and looked carefully at the water under her feet.
The water in this pond is very clear, and it doesn't look like stagnant water at all, thyme suddenly became curious, will this pond also use living water, as soon as she thought of this, thyme became a little excited.
Simply standing up, thyme began to look down the pond.
Suddenly, in a very hidden place in the lotus pond, thyme saw a big hole, and the hole was constantly flowing water into the lotus pond.
Not far away, Thyme saw a hole of the same size, but it looked like the hole was flowing outside.
This small lotus pond is made of living water, which should have been brought from the moat, as the man in black said that night.
Thyme didn't know what was going on in front of her, and she couldn't rush into the water.
She would not forget the man in black who reminded her that night that there was an ambush in this courtyard.
This place could not stay long, and the thyme went down the edge of the pond, and returned to the place where she had just soaked her feet, and continued to put her feet into the water to soak.
My mind began to recall the situation of the Jin Palace.
According to thyme's recent observations, the most in the Jin Palace's mansion is a small pond, basically one every few days.
The lake in the garden was the largest, and if Thyme wanted to escape, she had to know where her yard was now, and then whose yard was next door, and where it was behind the courtyard wall.
Thyme's mind was a little confused.
Originally, she wanted to hide in the space, but she didn't want to rely on the space, and even if she hid in the space, she was still in the palace.
The first and most important step is to get out of here.
After the maid came back this time, her face was obviously much more ugly to thyme.
Thyme is sensitive, and as soon as she looks at the maid's face, she knows that she has to act.
Late at night, Thyme used a little drug to stun the maid, and then quietly walked into the courtyard.
The courtyard was quiet, and Thyme didn't know if there were anyone near the yard, but none of that mattered, she had to find out.
Thinking of this, Thyme jumped directly into the pond.
Naturally, she will not go to the location of the water outlet, and if she wants to go, she must go to the place where the water enters, although it is going against the grain. But according to Thyme's understanding of the palace, the courtyard where she lives is the most remote location, which means that behind her courtyard should be the courtyard wall of the palace.
The sound of entering the water was soft, and Thyme took a breath and swam into the hole in the water inlet.
After getting out of the water, I found that the water inlet was probably a little higher and was not completely submerged by the water, and there was air in the top of the hole, two palms wide.
Such a discovery almost made Thyme laugh.
Retreating to the pond, thyme directly pinched the path of the lotus. Through the moonlight, I looked at the small hole in the middle of the flower path. It's not very big, but it's enough for inhalation and exhalation.
Thyme threw the lotus flower into the middle of the pond, and then continued to swim into the hole where the water had entered.
The hole into the water is wide, and it looks like it should have been a culvert that was built before. Thyme swam in it and didn't feel oppressive.
With the help of the lotus flower path. Thyme is able to hold in the water for a long time. Naturally improved.
I hadn't swam long ahead when I suddenly saw a little light from the moon in the dark water.
Thyme knew she should have swam through the culvert.
Gently out of the water. Thyme looked out blankly, it didn't matter if she didn't look at it, when she saw it, Thyme almost screamed.
The scene in front of her was completely unexpected by Thyme.
Her current location is on the edge of the riverbank.
It's just that he didn't go out of the city, and Thyme knew it by looking at the houses on both sides of the river. It should just be out of the palace.
Looking in another direction, Thyme saw the high walls of the palace.
At this time, the surroundings were very quiet, and Thyme was not in a hurry to come out of the water, but stayed in the water for a long time, and finally was still not at ease, and swam directly out of the range of the palace in the water, and then came out of the water.
The place where the thyme water comes out is somewhat remote.
The surrounding buildings are shrouded in darkness and appear very quiet.
The clothes on the body are already soaked, but fortunately, there is always a change of clothes in the space.
After entering the space, Thyme changed into men's clothes and put on a mustache, and then got out of the space.
It feels much safer.
The hair was still wet, but the thyme couldn't take care of it anymore.
It's late at night and there's nowhere to go.
The only thing is to find a way out of town.
Either wait until the gates open early tomorrow morning to get out of the city, or you have to find another way, and obviously the first one is the best.
The fragrance of thyme to the maid will never wake up until noon tomorrow.
Obviously, if the maid wakes up at noon tomorrow, Xiao Ding will definitely find the problem, after all, the maid has to go to Xiao Ding's yard every morning to report the thyme matter.
And when the maid went, the city gate had already opened.
Thyme decides to take a gamble.
The direction of the city gate Thyme vaguely remembered the direction, it was evening, although there was no one on the street, Thyme still carefully avoided the people who beat the watch, and walked in the direction of the city gate.
The sky is getting brighter.
Thyme was on the street near the city gate, and it was time for the city gate to be opened.
And those who waited to leave the city early in the morning were waiting at the gates.
Thyme was worried, but pretended to be calm and followed the crowd out of the city.
There was no danger along the way, and the officers and soldiers just stood at the door very majestically, and there was no interception or anything like that.
As soon as she got out of town, Thyme almost jumped for joy.
I really didn't expect her to really come out.
And there is no danger.
That's a great thing!
The sky gradually brightened, and thyme followed the flow of people and walked to the official road.
After walking a short distance, Thyme saw the woods not far away, and the mountains that the man in black said.
Now Thyme is facing a choice again, will she leave along the avenue, or go into the mountains?
She is not familiar with Xixia's words at all, and if she follows, she may soon be exposed, but when she walks into the mountains, who knows what dangers she will encounter.
Thyme knew in her heart that she didn't have much time to waste.
Suddenly, thyme's eyes lit up, she didn't need to go into the mountains, she just needed to walk along the big river not far outside the city. (To be continued......)
