Chapter Sixty-Nine: Drill Wood for Fire and Escape
"Alas, I have a way to get out, do you want to ......"
Zuo Xiangling pretended to approach and pretended to talk and laugh with Ji Chen, and looked at the door vigilantly.
Ji Chen also glanced at the door twice with her movements, and then moved a little closer to the middle of the table, revealing a mysterious expression, raised his eyes, and motioned for Zuo Xiangling to continue.
"I have a fire here, set this house on fire, and run while it's messy."
seemed to think that his idea was good, Zuo Xiangling smiled brightly, but was blinded by Ji Chen.
"No, it's going to ...... soon"
Before Ji Chen's words fell, the door opened again.
walked in a woman in a long blue dress, with a slender and slender posture, a steady step, and a simple hair ornament on her head, but her temperament made people see at a glance that she was a martial artist.
The woman glanced at Zuo Xiangling condescendingly, put down the long sword in her hand and began to search Zuo Xiangling's body, and almost took away the dagger that Zuo Xiangling put close to her, and the fire fold she had in mind definitely couldn't be kept.
At this moment, Zuo Xiangling was completely helpless, and looked at Ji Chen with a resentful face, as if she was blaming him for not saying that he would search his body earlier, otherwise it would not be difficult to hide the fire fold.
"It seems that you have to think of other ways, I have already used this trick, you see, even the candlesticks in this house have been taken away, your method will not work, anyway, I can see it, this group of people is not here to target me, but it seems to be aimed at Shangguan Feibai."
Ji Chen glanced at the location of the door, his eyes were full of comfort, it was absolutely none of his business.
Hearing this, Zuo Xiangling was even more convinced of the guess when he came, this group of people just wanted to arrest them and threaten Shangguan Feibai to do some kind of ulterior thing.
"It's a big deal, let's learn from primitive people and drill wood to make fire."
Zuo Xiangling shrugged her shoulders and began to scan the room with her gaze, trying to find something that could be used.
This time, Zuo Xiangling began to observe seriously, it seemed that because she had been searched, those people were not afraid of what they were doing at all, this look was the courtyard in the remote corner, except for the simple furnishings in the house, there was basically no problem with living in people.
There should be no problem with the feather duster in the vase in the corner to make a fire bow, as for this cork, Zuo Xiangling is still sensitive to various smells because of cooking, the tables and chairs in the room are exquisitely patterned, and there is a faint fragrance when you smell it, I think it should be toon wood, this toon wood is a good cork, and it is very good to make a base.
plus the curtain strips with fine dust, it should add up to about the same, but this feather duster still needs to be sharpened, such a heavy task is naturally handed over to Ji Chen.
During this period, the people outside the door also came in to check, after all, the movement they made was not small, in order to prevent those guards from checking from time to time, this was a movement deliberately made by the two of them.
The two of them prevaricated very well, and anyway, the people above only wanted to imprison them for a while, and did not restrict their movements, so they didn't bother to ask.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Ji Chen's hand was broken before he could grind the feather duster, and because he didn't have too many tools, he could only rub it on the ground.
The hard work paid off, and it finally came to the last step.
The two of them secretly found a corner and began to work.
Zuo Xiangling first tied the strip of cloth to the feather duster, bent a certain arc and tied the other end, and then used the remaining half of the sharpened feather duster as a round wooden stick to drill the fire, took out the stool leg that had been smashed into a small pit, demonstrated it to Ji Chen, and then signaled him to start.
"Can you really make fire this way? Why am I a little unconvinced? ”
Pulling the hair back in front of him, Ji Chen began to work with a skeptical attitude, at first his hands were a little weak, but after seeing a small wisp of white smoke coming out, he began to widen his eyes and pull the bow with all his strength.
After adding a little sawdust, the smoke is growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, after seeing the flames, the two of them are ecstatic, Zuo Xiangling directly lay on the ground and began to blow, after adding a little cotton wool, the flames came out all of a sudden, Zuo Xiangling was startled, fortunately she dodged in time, otherwise her hair would be burned.
The two of them carefully led the flame to the small torches they had prepared in advance, and then began to light fires in various parts of the house.
handed Ji Chen a piece of the tea-soaked handkerchief in his hand, and the two hid behind the two doors.
Soon, the people noticed the movement inside and began to shout, "Go to the water!" Let's go to the water! ”
Walking the water is not a trivial matter, if the fire is too big, it will endanger the safety of the surrounding residents, so the surrounding neighbors will generally come to help.
The house was not even dusted, and it was only temporary, so these people definitely didn't want to alarm the others, so it was necessary to set aside some people to mediate the neighbors.
There are only two people guarding the door, one shouted to go, and the other opened the door and started to put out the fire, there were too many fires, so the fire in the house quickly became bigger, and it was not possible to save it by oneself.
They wrapped their figures in quilts in advance and threw them in the corner of the house where the fire was relatively large, in order to attract the attention of the visitors, watching the person cover his mouth and nose and approach there, Zuo Xiangling and Ji Chen glanced at each other, and then ran out of the house.
When she ran out of the house, Zuo Xiangling broke the flower pot in the small courtyard and told the man to avoid harming people's lives.
Ji Chen, to Zuo Xiangling's surprise, actually knew the layout of the house, and took Zuo Xiangling out of the courtyard wall in three or two clicks.
The two didn't dare to stop for a moment, it seemed that the fire was a little fierce, and the sky was red, attracting a lot of neighbors from the surrounding neighbors, and the two of them just took advantage of the crowd to leave.
Shangguan Feibai, who was unsuccessful in searching for people, realized that Qin Puze was really unscrupulous this time, and also guessed that Zuo Xiangling was now in Qin Puze's hands, what kind of temperament Qin Puze was, he still understood, and he thought that it was just to force him, and he would not do anything to Zuo Xiangling, so he decided to go to find the clues left by Qin Puze early the next morning.
There are clues, however, Shangguan Feibai feels that this mark is a little confusing, as if it has not been modified, the modified one is very good and very new, I think there is something new that causes this mark to be modified.
Following the new mark, Shangguan Feibai finally found Qin Puze, and what surprised him was that Qin Puze would actually be in a broken temple, Qin Puze, who has always had a habit of cleanliness, is not a person who would like such a place.
Seeing Shangguan Fei walking with a sword, Qin Puze's face was a little ugly, with a bit of resentment and anger.
"What about people?"
Shangguan Feibai didn't care why Qin Puze appeared here, he just wanted to know Zuo Xiangling's current situation.
