Chapter 27: Two Unlucky Eggs
"Hurry up! Don't grind!" said the leopard boss in the mill, with a long whip in his hand, waved it unceremoniously.
The two figures ran quickly beside the stone mill, turning their heads to look back as they ran. These two people are Xue Jin and the young man who ate white food at the market before.
Xue Jin stretched her neck like a donkey and called to pull the bellows, glaring angrily at the poor bastard beside her. How did she think that this person didn't even have the money to invite someone to dinner?
"Hey, who! Are you a boy, why are you so weak?" She's an ordinary human, and she's stronger than him.
"I'm not that one!" the young man had little strength but not a small temper, "I have a name and a surname, and my name is Kale." ”
What the hell? What is this name?
Xue Jin didn't bother to bother with him, "It doesn't matter what your name is, please use some force, okay?"
The whip flew and struck the two of them. The leopard boss roared again, "The leopard is not powerful, you think I am a docile cat?"
Xue Jin and Kale hurriedly took a step forward and grinded desperately.
Finally, the two finished grinding the two bags of wheat in the house, and collapsed on the ground to rest from exhaustion.
It was already dark, and the noisy passers-by began to come alive. The owner of the leopard had just left the mill and left for the bazaar in order to greet the guests.
Xue Jin stood on Kale's shoulder, grabbed the only small window in the mill, and poked her head out to look out. She double-checked, and found that the boss was indeed gone. So the two men smashed the door of the mill and tried to escape.
Unfortunately, the door was locked from the outside. No matter how much the two of them shook, it didn't help. It seems that the only way to escape through the window is to find a way.
Xue Jin cleared her throat and smiled, "Who, cabbage, I think we have to work together now." You don't want to be locked up here forever, do you?"
Cabbage knocked on the door a few more times, and said helplessly, "What else can be done now? ”
Xue Jin glared at him and continued to smile, "We can climb out of the window!" she pointed to the window.
Kale glanced at it hopefully, and instantly became even more desperate, "With such a small window, rats can get out." ”
Xue Jin shook her head, "That's a bad word. This window is enough for me to get out. ”
She has practiced yoga for several years, and her body is relatively soft. Although the window was small, as long as she bent and folded as much as possible, there was still a great hope that she would be able to get out.
"So what?" Kale stared at Xue Jin, as if she understood Xue Jin's intentions.
Xue Jin smiled quietly, "So, you hold me, and I go out through the window." Then, I open the door from the outside and get you out too. How?"
Kale examined Xue Jin's face as if judging the truth of her words.
What about the trust between people, and the mutual help in times of crisis? Does he think she is the kind of selfish person who only cares about herself?
He was so right!
That's right, that's what she intended!
But for now, she had to gain his trust first. Xue Jin blinked, and her smile became even more fake, "Think about it, I went out, so you have a chance to go out." If you suspect me, there's only one ending, and that's that we're both trapped here. When that murderous leopard boss comes back, we won't have a chance!"
In order to shorten the distance, she also used the word "the two of us".
Kale thought for a while, then nodded like a broken boat, "Okay, I believe you!" He squatted down and pointed to his shoulders with both hands, "You can step on it." ”
Xue Jin picked up the hammer next to the stone mill, stepped on Kale's shoulders without stopping, and reached out to grab the lattice of the window. She swung a stone hammer and struck it against the lattice of the window.
In times of danger, people always have much more strength than usual. No, Xue Jin smashed the lattice of the window in a few clicks. Probably because this lattice is made of wood, which is exposed to the wind and sun, and basically it will rot.
"Hold me up a little higher!Move me to the left!" Xue Jin threw down the stone hammer and commanded the cabbage.
Kale did so. Although he is a boy, he has not had much strength since he was a child, and after a while, his strength is almost exhausted. "Hurry up, I can't move. ”
"Right away!" Xue Jin had already leaned out of the window, and her heart was overjoyed, "When I get out, I'll save you!"
She jumped to the ground, rolled a few laps, and landed smoothly.
In the mill, Kale was still yelling, "Get the door open from the outside!" he looked at Xue Jin expectantly.
This one...... Xue Jin glanced at the key hanging on the door, which was bigger than the soup bowl, and stammered inside, "The lock is a bit big, it seems to be difficult to deal with." ”
"Break the lock with something!" "Kale was anxious.
"What's that......" Xue Jin remembered the stone hammer she had used just now, "you throw that hammer out!
Kale hurriedly picked up the stone hammer and tried to pass it out from the window, but it was not enough to be tall.
He has been complaining about the weak chicken physique! Since he was a child, he has wanted to have no head, and he has no strength. The point is that he can always see strange things that others can't, which also causes him a lot of trouble. For example, the current predicament is all because of his own kindness to help this human monster who lifts his skirt, which caused this series of unfortunate events.
Hey, kale, but a snack!
In a hurry, he picked up the stone hammer and threw it at the window.
The stone hammer bounced back and knocked him to the ground. His hands and feet twitched, and he helplessly shed two lines of pink and white tears, washing the flour off his face.
Xue Jin outside the house also heard the movement inside. She shouted inside, but there was no answer.
I can't blame her! Xue Jin turned around and ran away.
Escape is escape, and now there is a very urgent problem in front of us. Since she had just been whipped by the leopard boss, she was so bent on dodging the whip that she didn't have the extra energy to identify the route, and now that it was dark, the roads and markets she saw with her eyes were different from the daytime.
The most important thing is, where did the silver taki, who was killed that day, go? She has no demonic power, she walks alone at night, and her heart is panicked! If she has a little money on her, it would be better to say, just find a place to stay, and by the way, eat something and take a hot bath or something. The problem is, she doesn't even have half a gold coin on her!
The first priority is to find a place to stay, preferably one that can be stayed for free. If you don't have one, you can offset the cost of accommodation with your own labor, right?
Xue Jin's footsteps gradually slowed down, and she looked around.
No! No!
Although she has guessed the ending, her heart is inevitably a little discouraged. She dragged her tired footsteps and continued to wander the streets.
"My child!" cried out, "come and help!
