Chapter Seventy-One: Birds Die for Food
Wang Huan glanced at Xu Goudan: "Why don't you go and see, how about we give you a look at the wind here?" ”
Xu Goudan shook his head vigorously: "That's it, those Tartar men are all fierce and vicious, and it is estimated that the women are not much stronger, so it is the right way for us to leave quickly." ”
Chen Ergou said: "There are a lot of people here, let's walk a little longer, go around to the back of the house, I see that there are a few big trees there, you can climb the trees, jump outside the wall, you can avoid the pain of climbing the wall." ”
Wang Huan was a little uneasy about his eyesight, and took a closer look, and found that behind the Xiulou, there were indeed a few tall trees, with a straight crown, dense branches and leaves, and some thick branches stretched directly over the wall, as long as they were on the tree, they could safely jump outside the wall.
After seeing it clearly, Chen Ergou led the two of them, quietly hiding from the sight of a group of women who were busy among the flowers, followed the root of the wall, and came to the back of the show building, there was no door behind the show building, there were a few windows, and the interior could be seen directly from the window.
The three of them were overjoyed, and hurriedly picked the tallest tree, showed their skills, and climbed up one after another, the three of them were quick with their hands and feet, and after a while, they climbed up to the trunk, Chen Ergou looked at it, and selected a thick branch, which grew far away horizontally, and stretched out of the wall.
Chen Ergou followed the branches first, carefully climbed to the treetops, looked at it, and whispered happily: "Sure enough, you can jump outside here, come with me." ”
He hung himself on the treetops, stretched himself out, and then as soon as he let go of his hand, the whole man fell downward, and when he landed, he rolled and stood up unharmed. Xu Goudan did the same, and jumped out smoothly, and the two stood on the ground, looking up and waiting for the last Wang Huan to come down.
Wang Huan was about to walk on the branches, but inadvertently looked back, the big tree he was in was facing the third floor of the show building, at this moment the upstairs window opened, and from the tree you could see that there was a round table in the house, the table was full of fruit and pastries, and the aroma could be smelled from the tree, Wang Huan's attention was immediately attracted.
Swallowing the saliva that couldn't restrain the spontaneous gushing out, Wang Huan looked carefully, and after making sure that there was no one on the third floor, he made a gesture to eat at Chen Ergou and Xu Goudan outside the wall, and then made a sneaky action, which meant that he was going to be a gentleman on the beam and steal some food to satisfy the hunger of the three of them.
The two people on the ground immediately understood, and their reactions were different, Chen Ergou was anxious, and made a worried gesture to tell him to come down quickly and not to take risks, while Xu Goudan gave a thumbs up and gestured for him to take more.
Wang Huan replied with a gesture of calmness, and didn't care about the reactions of the two, and lightly climbed on another tree trunk facing Xiulou, and crawled over sneakily.
This big tree grows too tall, I am afraid that it will be a hundred years old, and the trunk will grow all the way to the outside of the window on the third floor of the Xiulou, and in a few years, I am afraid that it will grow through the window. This was very convenient for Wang Huan, and he jumped directly from the trunk of the tree into the house without much effort.
As soon as his feet landed, he stepped on a round stool, which was placed by the window, like a stepping stool, and he could comfortably climb up and down by the window. Wang Huan was a little surprised, looked at the position of the round stool, and had a strange feeling in his heart, feeling that this window was blocked by the big tree outside, and sitting on this stool could only see the leaves outside.
Wang Huan shook his head, feeling that his feeling was too weird, whose young lady had nothing to do and climbed the window.
Looking around, the room is simply furnished, there is a gorgeous stepping bed that occupies one-third of the room space, another cabinet, there is a screen in the corner of the house, there is a bath barrel inside, there are some swords and bows on the wall strangely, the house is burned with sandalwood, the dark incense is overflowing, the room is really empty, Wang Huan is overjoyed, slammed into the round table in the middle of the room, grabbed a palm-sized mille-feuille cake, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it, picked up a mung bean cake, and stuffed it into his mouth.
While eating, he rushed to the wardrobe, grabbed a gold silk inlaid skirt from it, spread it out on the table, poured the fruits and pastries on the plate, used the skirt as a wrapper, went over and made a bag, carried it in his hand, looked at the room again, and felt that there was nothing worth stealing, and then he wanted to leave.
I just put the burden on my back, but I heard the sound of the stairs outside the door, and a female voice sounded loudly outside: "Quickly fetch me water, I sweated, and I died of heat!" ”
Wang Huan was shocked, his courage was turned upside down, and he ran towards the window as a thief, but leaned on the round stool in a panic, his leg bones were painful, and he suddenly lost his strength, and the footsteps outside the door were getting closer and closer, and he was about to enter the house, Wang Huan was frightened, and he couldn't care about climbing the window, so he ran to the huge stepping bed with his baggage, shrank his body, and hid under the bed.
The bottom of the bed was low, Wang Huan shrunk his body into a ball, and he didn't dare to come out, staring at the door with a pair of eyes and not daring to make a sound.
As soon as the door opened, a pair of pretty feet wearing riding boots stepped in, and the high-spirited female voice rose again: "Pearl, Yue'er, cool the water a little, it's too hot this day, and the cold water is more comfortable to wash." ”
Wang Huan hid under the bed, unable to see the appearance of the woman who spoke, but felt that the tone of the speaker was crisp, and his steps were not as soft and delicate as those of a normal woman in this era, and there was a heroic air from the time he walked.
Behind the woman in riding boots, also two pairs of legs in riding boots, two pretty female voices responded, "Yes, Gege." Then exit the house.
The woman in riding boots who entered first walked to the round table, grabbed the teapot and poured a glass of water, "grunt" and drank it in one go, and then "Huh?" With a sigh, apparently finding the empty plate on the table.
Wang Huan secretly said in his heart: "Bitter, the lady in this boudoir found that the pastry was missing, and she must search it vigorously, she will be in a catastrophe this time." Humane birds die for food, but I have become a bird, and I will lose my life for this food. ”
The woman in riding boots was not angry, but smiled: "These women who sprinkle and sweep, if they want to take some food back, it is just right to say that they are so sneaky, what is it like?" ”
sighed again, and said to himself: "Alas, the world is difficult, and these Han people are not easy, and they all have mouthfuls to eat at home, and it is difficult for them, forget it, if you tell Uncle He Yuetu, I am afraid that I will have to fight a few more lives." ”
Riding Boots muttered to himself as he walked towards the bed, and sat down on the bed, babbling and not knowing what to do.
Wang Huan breathed a sigh of relief under the bed, listening to the tone of the woman in riding boots, it seemed that her stealing behavior was hung on the bodies of those cleaning mothers-in-law, and this woman was kind in her heart and did not want to pursue the matter, so she could be considered safe.
Just when he slowed down his mood, he heard two "knocks" in the house, which startled Wang Huan again, and hurriedly looked out, but saw that it was two riding boots, which were taken off and thrown on the ground, and a pair of crystal clear, white silk pretty feet appeared in front of him.
