Chapter 17: Escape

When Qingzhi was locked up in a small utility house in the northwest corner of Lu Shikang Courtyard, wandering around, he suddenly realized that he had been tricked.

What shocking secrets, what to tell the world ten days later, it was all just to lead her to show herself.

If she had guessed correctly, he would have sent someone to his house to call him to see him right now.

If he had locked himself up for a few days, and he would have been absent for a few days, his doubts would have been solved.

At the same time, her identity as a woman was exposed.

Who let himself come up with a way to follow in women's clothes, just fell into his trap.

She had to admire him, this idea was absolutely amazing.

It also shows that he hasn't decided whether he's a man or a woman yet.

This also shows that he is still a decent gentleman. If he was a hooligan, he would have figured out his identity by means of a physical examination while he was asleep.

What I have to do now is to get out as quickly as possible. The men he sent rushed to the house before they could reach his own pharmacy.

It's about whether your identity continues to be hidden or exposed.

Thinking of this, she looked around at the small room where she was kept.

The room was about a zhang long and less than two zhang wide, and there was nothing in the room except a dozen black wine jars piled up in the northwest corner.

There was a small window on the back wall of the room, about seven feet above the ground, and the lower edge of the window was higher than hers, about two feet in length and width, and it was tightly sealed.

If there is a way to escape, there is only this window. But looking at the situation in the room, it seems that there is nothing for her to climb up with the help of it.

If only there was a table, she could climb up with the help of the table.

But if it can only be if.

There were only wine jars in the room, which were only a little more than a foot high, and they didn't do anything at all.

She walked anxiously from east to west and from west to east in the room.

Inadvertently, she kicked over a wine jar with her left foot, and didn't bother to lift it up and let it fall to the ground.

Perhaps, wine jugs can?

Suddenly, her heart lit up. Yes, the height of these tanks must be enough.

She immediately began to bend down and began to set the jugs.

Five of them were placed on the ground directly below the window, but three were placed on top of the five bottles, and only one on the top.

So the jugs were piled up four or five feet high. And the bottom of the wine tank is more than the top, and it is also quite stable.

She placed another jug next to the pile of jugs, and with the help of it, she carefully stepped on the jugs she had piled up.

Standing on the first layer of jugs, her hands could easily reach the window. When she stood on the second level of the jug, her waist was just below the edge of the window. If she stood any further, she would be hunched over.

She pushed the window, and it opened with a slight push. Standing at the window, she could see a pedestrian passing by under the window.

She recognized that the outside of the back wall of this small room was Qingchun Street to the north of Lu Mansion.

It was only after the pedestrian had left that she began to move, and from the open window, she easily climbed out and jumped outside.

Jumping from a seven-foot-high window was no easy task, and the moment she did, she felt her feet hurt as if they had been weighed down by something.

Before she had time to rub it, she started running.

She needed to find a carriage to take her to the Kong family's pharmacy immediately.

Running from the empty Qingchun Street to the bustling Mingyue Street, she spent the time eating a red date.

What made her desperate was that although there were many sedan chairs on Mingyue Street, it was not easy to find an empty sedan chair immediately.

The only way is to forcibly block a sedan chair.

Thinking of this, she immediately beckoned to a groom in a carriage approaching her not far from the road.

Because there was someone in the sedan chair, the groom ignored her and continued to move on.

Knowing the lessons of the previous carriage, she stood in the middle of the road in advance when the next carriage passed by, forcing the groom to stop it. The groom shouted to her, "Girl, do you want to die?" ”

"I have something urgent, big brother please, son, please, I really have an urgent matter, very urgent matter." She bent down to accompany the coachman and the son in the sedan chair.

The boy smiled: "Since the girl is so anxious, this son will give this sedan chair to the girl." With that, he paid the carriage fare and got out of the carriage.

After she got into the car, she quickly said to the groom: "Please eldest brother take the little girl to Dr. Kong's house in the east of the city." ”

"Girl, are you in such a hurry to go to Dr. Kong's house, are you sick yourself, or are your family members sick?"

"I went there because my old lady called Dr. Kong."

"You look like you're wearing a girl from a big family, why don't you even have a carriage?" The groom wondered.

"My carriage ...... was used by my girl when she went out, and my old lady was not sick when she left. Big brother, can you hurry up? My old lady really can't wait too long...... "Although the groom is not slow, she still wants him to be faster.

"Since it's a matter of human life, okay, I'll let you rush to Dr. Kong's house as soon as possible. However, we can't take the nearest route, we need to take some detours, because the nearest route is a crowded place, and we can't run. If we bump into someone while running, we can't afford to accompany us. ”

Qingzhi said: "Listen to you." How fast do you think you can go? ”

"Well, let's take a detour......," said the groom, leaving the crowded street at the next junction, and hurried to a side road north of the city, where he reached a side road lined with fields on both sides, and whipped his horse, and the horses were instructed, and galloped at once.

The wind whistled along the way, and the fields and trees in front of me were rapidly receding.

Qingzhi thought that at her current speed, she should be able to get to her pharmacy earlier than the people sent by Lu Shikang, because the people who were sent there would not be in such a hurry as her, and if she walked through the streets of the city, she was afraid that the speed would not be able to get up at all.

But when I think that I have to wash off my makeup and put on women's clothes, I will never have any time left.

After following the side road to the east of the city, the carriage walked slowly for a section of Qiushui Street, which had more pedestrians in front of his house, and arrived at the door of his house. The groom stopped on the side of the road, looked at the big words "Doctor's Benevolence" written on the door plate, and said to Qingzhi, "It's here." ”

Qingzhi hurriedly got out of the carriage, paid the fare, and hurried to the pharmacy in the front yard of the house. After just one glance, she immediately withdrew from the door, went to her room in the backyard, quickly removed her clothes, washed her makeup, and changed into her white men's shirt.

Only then did she catch her breath and walk briskly to the front yard pharmacy.

As soon as he stood in front of the long cabinet in the pharmacy, he didn't have time to say hello to Qian Liu, when he saw Qi Fang walk in: "Doctor Kong, my son-in-law invites you to go." ”

Qingzhi said: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

Qian Liu asked, "Then should I go with me too?" ”

Qingzhi said: "I don't have to do it today. ”

Qian Liu nodded suspiciously. He didn't understand why Qingzhi had said in the morning that she would be away from home all day today, and why she had always taken herself to Lu Mansion before, and why she didn't take him today.
