Chapter 10: Escape
Kong Xiangsha was tied with her hands behind her back and thrown into the prison, and there was a small square table in the cage, and Kong Xiangsha could only sit at the table and drink porridge every day, and after drinking porridge, she stood up and paced in this very narrow space. There are all kinds of pictures in her mind, including her deceased parents and her husband who died on the battlefield, and when she thinks of this, she falls into deep pain and can't extricate herself. She really can't endure this kind of hard life of losing her freedom, she doesn't want to return to Da Yin Shang all the time, she begins to miss uncontrollably nostalgic for the days when she was a music official in the Shang Dynasty, how beautiful it is, compared to the current embarrassment, it is simply a heaven and an underground.
Now her hands are tied numb, her mind is blank, and she only thinks of two words: "Get out!" She looked around, and her mind moved, and she took the handle of the empty porcelain bowl that had just finished drinking porridge with her mouth and slammed it against the railing of the cage, and the bowl fell to the ground with a clatter. She crouched down and fumbled with her hands to pick up the largest piece of the bowl and cut the rope, the rope was so strong that the bowl could only hurt its fur, and it needed to be rubbed on the rope continuously.
"What sound? How did this bowl break? When the soldiers in the cage heard the movement, they walked in from the outside, and asked the empty minister, and saw the broken bowl on the ground in the cage, and was stunned.
"I don't know, maybe another soldier accidentally broke it while cleaning it up." Kong Xiangsha said carefully, she stood with him face to face, so he didn't find the fragment of the bowl in Kong Xiangsha's hand.
"No way, I've been delivering food and collecting dishes these days." The soldier scratched his head and said, feeling strange, but he didn't know what was going on. He pulled out the key to open the cage lock, walked inside, and began to pack up the dishes. He grumbled to Kongxiangsha while cleaning up the dishes: "Tell you! Be honest with me, give me less tricks! The soldier packed up and muttered out.
Kong Xiangsha sat on the ground, her hands began to rub the rope with the bowl continuously, and when she was tired, she rested. It didn't take much effort, and in the middle of the night she finally completed the huge project and untied the rope.
The rope was untied, and she was worried that if the soldiers guarding the cage found out and reported it to King Hartz, Hartz would definitely cut off her head. When the cage soldier opened the cage and put the bowl containing the porridge on the table, she bent down, she kicked him in the back, and the cage soldier lay on the ground grinning in pain. Kong Xiangsha stabbed him in the neck with a bowl slice, and he died instantly.
Before the blood seeped into the clothes outside, she immediately ripped off the clothes on the cage soldier, patted the dust on the clothes, and put them on herself. When the night was thicker, she went out, and the soldiers standing outside the prison door were napping, and they didn't find that the soldier was Kong Xiangsha, who finally escaped, but the city gate was closed, but there were several soldiers guarding in front of the door, and when they saw her coming from a distance, they stopped her.
"This big brother, with a strange face, seems to have never seen you before. It's so late, what's the matter with going out? One of the soldiers guarding the door asked.
"The king suddenly fell seriously ill in the middle of the night, and at his behest went outside the palace to receive medicinal herbs. It's not good if it's delayed. Empty Xiangsha said in a thick voice.
The leader of the soldiers guarding the gate thought about it, and "I would rather believe it than not believe it", and hurriedly opened the city gate and let Xiangsha go out. Empty Xiangsha was wandering outside, and because it was already dark, the flow of people was gradually decreasing. She was lucky, and although it was dark, she was able to hire a carriage to squat on the side of the road.
"Guest, where are you going?" The coachman asked.
"A place near the frontier of Yin Shang." Empty Xiangsha replied. The carriage sped forward, and she soon grew farther and farther away from the land of nightmares, and at dawn it finally reached the borderlands.
"Guest officer, because it is a trip in the dark, the fare is twice as high as that of the day." The coachman said, and it was only then that she realized that she was penniless. But on second thought, the cage soldier must have brought some shellfish with her, so she groped around for his clothes, but found nothing, and the coachman was a little disappointed when she saw the guest officer stunned and at a loss.
"Due to the hurry I came out, I forgot to bring the seashells. Well, I've got you covered. This is the official uniform of the imperial court, how majestic it is to wear. Empty Xiangsha said. The carriage shook his head helplessly, and there was no other way but to agree. Kong Xiangsha tore off her coat and threw it to the coachman, who drove the horse back.
Now that it was very far from the heart of the earth, she was finally relieved. She wanted to find an inn to eat and stay overnight, but there were no shellfish on her, so it was impossible to move an inch. Where do we go from here? She sat on the side of the road and began to sigh, regretting that she shouldn't have gone to the earthwork alone as an undercover agent, and that her revenge had not been avenged, but she was frightened. There was a big tree not far away, and she walked there, leaned her back against the tree and began to rest, she was so sleepy, the carriage was bumpy, and she sat in the carriage all night without closing her eyes, because she had been in the earthwork. Just as she was having a sweet dream, she dreamed that her husband looked at her silently as before, and seemed to be moved by her actions, and Kong Xiangsha was also pleased, although the revenge was not avenged, but she had done her best to finally be worthy of her dead husband. Suddenly, a few bits of bird droppings fell from the tree on her face, and she only felt a wet on her face, and she woke up from her sleep. A child stood there in front of her, looking at her curiously.
"Little boy, may I ask where this is, is it in the Great Shang Dynasty or in the earthwork?" As soon as Kong Xiangsha opened her eyes, she couldn't wait to ask.
"My mother said I was from the Shang Dynasty." The little boy replied in a milky voice.
"So this is the territory of the Shang Dynasty, and I finally returned to the Shang Dynasty." Kong Xiangsha stood up and said happily, she picked up a leaf from under the tree and began to wipe the bird poop off her face......
"And where is the inn?" Kongxiangsha asked again, and the little boy pointed to a two-story wooden building in the distance.
Kong Xiangsha stood up and walked towards the inn, and the innkeeper didn't dare to receive her when he saw her embarrassed appearance, her hair was messy, and there were a few leaves with insect eyes on her hair. Seeing that the owner of the hall was irrational to himself, Kong Xiangsha said anxiously: "I am the music official of the Emperor Wuding in the palace, please reward me with a bite to eat and a bedroom, and return it to you after I return to my residence in the palace to take the shellfish." May I? ”
"Leave it on credit. Besides, if you say that you are a musician in the palace, will I believe you? Why do I believe you? The owner looked disdainful.
"Did you play and sing this night? Is it okay for me to sell dance to offset my bills? Void Sha said with a whim. The innkeeper looked her up and down, only to see that she had good facial features, although she was wearing a black dress, but it was difficult to hide her graceful posture, if she was dressed up and offered a few dances, it would definitely make the inn more lively, it was not a good idea.
Of course, the innkeeper didn't completely believe the words of a stranger, but just fried two side dishes for her, and she ate them all, she drank porridge every day, and she hadn't eaten for a long time. The owner arranged a room for her, and she slept soundly in it.
In the evening, the inn was really lively, there was an endless stream of people who came to listen to the music, and the empty Xiangsha presented a beautiful dance for everyone, which was simply a stunning dance, and won the applause of everyone.
The next day, the owner also gave her some coils on the road, enough for her to return to the palace.
