Chapter 305: Wait Patiently
"By the way, what are you doing here at this time?"
Wen Ruyi bent over at the moment, did not look directly at the big girl, and couldn't help frowning when she heard this, her eyes rolled, and she opened her mouth to exhale pain, "Oh, auntie, I ...... I'm new here, and I can't find a latrine at this time, so I ...... So ......"
The big girl saw her hunched over, her hands on her stomach, and her face looked panicked, she was indeed looking for a toilet, and subconsciously covered her nose with a handkerchief, looked at her with disgust, and pointed in another direction, "Over there, over there!" ”
"Thank you, Auntie!" After speaking, Wen Ruyi walked away as if he was flying, and he didn't dare to straighten up until he walked out of the distance, looked back, and didn't see anyone following, so he shook his head with a smile, breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked back to the next room.
As soon as I entered the courtyard of the lower room, I found that many people were not there, and only a few were still washing clothes.
When one of them saw Wen Ruyi coming back, he washed his clothes while fetching water and said, "Are you back?" ”
Wen Ruyi nodded with a smile and asked suspiciously, "By the way, what about the others?" ”
The girl couldn't help but laugh out loud, and looked at her with a smile, "When is this coming, of course it's dinner." Alas? What did you just do? ”
When Wen Ruyi came back, his face was pale and sweating from the sun, and he explained, "Hey, I just went to the toilet, I don't know what to eat, and I have some stomach trouble." ”
As soon as she heard this, she put down the work in her hand and said crisply, "You wait." So saying, the man strode into the room, and in a few moments came out again, holding in his hand a small porcelain vase with a red stopper on it, and at a glance he knew what kind of ointment it was.
"Now, this tube is a bad stomach! You're new here, you don't know, if you neglect your errand because of stomach trouble, you'll be deducted your monthly money! Anyway, Qing'er didn't care about Wen Ruyi's reaction, she stuffed it into her hand, patted Wen Ruyi's hand, and smiled gently, "You take it." ”
Wen Ruyi knew that this thing had to be collected, and it would be a piece of evidence in the future, if it was discovered, she said that she had a bad stomach and this girl to testify to herself, and this ointment was physical evidence.
In this way, this ointment really has to be put away, thinking of this, Wen Ruyi put it in his sleeve, and said with a smile, "Cheng, thank you so much." ”
The two were talking, when suddenly a cruel voice came, "What are you two doing, don't you hurry up and get to work!" ”
The girl was frightened by this sound, and hurriedly bowed her head and hurried away.
Wen Ruyi also lowered her head and left and went to the cafeteria to pick up food.
She went late, and the meal had already been robbed and there was nothing left, so she made do with a bite, and her busy feet did not touch the ground, and by the time she finally could rest, it was already night.
At this time, it was completely dark, and several good sisters squeezed a quilt in three or two, whispering.
After Wen Ruyi finished washing, as soon as he entered the house, there was a moment of silence, and soon other little maids came up to talk to Wen Ruyi.
"Ru'er, come here!" This is Wen Ruyi's pseudonym here in order not to reveal his name.
Following the prestige, Wen Ruyi smiled friendlyly, walked to the previous maid Qing'er and sat down, there were several maids in this pile.
"Ru'er, you said you are so good-looking, how can you be a maid?"
"Yes, yes, I see that when you came, your skin was tender and tight, and you didn't even have a callus on your hands, and it doesn't look like you sold yourself as a slave because of poverty!"
As soon as the two of them asked, all the eyes of the people here shifted their attention, but fortunately, Wen Ruyi had already thought of the relative wording, smiled helplessly, and said after a long time, "Hey, actually...... Although my family is not a big family, but it is also a wealthy family, running a small business, and my father and mother have always spoiled me, but unfortunately, when I went out to do business this year, I met a mountain bandit, which is ......"
As she spoke, Wen Ruyi wiped her tears just right.
Although the excuse is old-fashioned and vulgar, but people eat this set, Qing'er quickly took her hand, and her eyes flashed with tears, "Hey, I really pity you, I really don't know what to say about this person's fate." ”
In the open, Wen Ruyi naturally will not reveal his identity. Faced with all kinds of problems from the maids, she only said that she was a newcomer, and she was let in because the house was in urgent need of people.
"Hey, I originally thought you had something to do with the prince, that's why he arranged for you to come in." One of the little maids said with a smile.
Wen Ruyi cursed Mu Zirong in her heart, but she pretended to be puzzled on her face: "Prince? I have never even seen a prince, how can people like us have such blessings. After speaking, he pretended to be a nymphomaniac, and said to the maids: "By the way, sisters, the prince is ...... Isn't it handsome? ”
All the maids naturally believed what she said, and their curiosity about her identity dissipated, and after hearing her question, they all blew about how handsome and graceful Mu Zirong was with a face full of spring and warmth, and he was simply a male god-level character.
Wen Ruyi just smiled silently, echoing it, but despised it to the extreme in her heart.
……
In the middle of the night, Wen Ruyi lay on the bed but couldn't sleep for a long time, and the other maids lying next to her were already asleep, and some even snored a few times, leaving only her awake.
Maintaining a flat lying posture for a long time, Wen Ruyi felt stiff all over, afraid of waking up the other maids, so she could only turn over slightly and continue to think attentively.
With telepathy and what she saw with her own eyes, she could already determine that Chu Hongze was locked up in Mu Zirong's dark room. But how can we get him out? This is the most critical problem, the dark room is heavily guarded, she is a weak woman, and she will definitely not be able to get in if she is hard. However, it was impossible for her to let Chu Hongze suffer there, he was being tortured for one more day, and Wen Ruyi felt that her heart would also be tortured for one more day.
The more Wen Ruyi thought about it, the more she couldn't sleep. Suddenly, a thought came to her: Why not go and find out the situation in the dark room at night? Maybe you can get him out of the way by the guards!
Thinking of this, Wen Ruyi got up quietly, tried not to make a sound, got out of bed cautiously, and left the maid's room.
Waiting for Wen Ruyi to lie down at the door cautiously, hearing that there was no sound in the room except for snoring, he couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart, it seems that ...... No one has noticed her slipping away.
Following the route in his mind, Wen Ruyi successfully touched the location of the dark room.
It was dark outside, the wind was blowing, Wen Ruyi was wearing thin clothes, she was trembling slightly, and she quietly looked at the door of the dark room.
The dark room was still heavily guarded, and even at night he did not relax his troops, Wen Ruyi squatted in the dark and decided to continue to observe, but there was no good opportunity.
After a while, the sky brightened, and Wen Ruyi saw that it was not too early, and if he didn't go back, he would definitely reveal his stuffing, so he could only give up first, and then carefully left here and returned to the maid's room.
Gently pushed the door open, without making a sound, Wen Ruyi quietly probed and found that everyone was still asleep on the kang, and no abnormality was found.
"Whew...... It's dangerous......" Wen Ruyi said secretly in her heart, and then tiptoed back to the bed, squinting her eyes and pretending to be asleep, waiting for the others to get up and get ready to work.
All day, Wen Ruyi's whole person was listless, he didn't sleep all night last night, and there were heavy dark circles on his face that had not applied a trace of fat powder at the moment.
When a maid saw it, she asked her anxiously: "Ru'er, what's wrong with you?" Is it sick? Why are eye circles so heavy? ”
Wen Ruyi yawned, waved his hand slightly, and replied: "It's okay, it's okay, I didn't sleep well last night, so I left these two pieces of black green, don't worry, I'll just make up for sleep when I have time." After speaking, Wen Ruyi continued to work, and there were several yawns in between.
Wen Ruyi observed that there were two soldiers waiting at night, and not these two people kept watch all night, and they would change the guard every other shift, and only one person was left to guard when the guard changed, and when the other successor arrived, the soldier who was guarding went to change the next shift.
Moreover, the night was cold, and the speed of the change of the guard of the group of soldiers was also slow, according to modern time calculations, one soldier guarded and waited for another soldier to change the guard for a full forty minutes. Forty minutes is enough for Wen Ruyi to take down the guards.
Many-to-one is definitely not good, change to one-to-one, Miss Ben's needle is gently pricked, little soldier, you can sleep on your big head. Wen Ruyi couldn't help but secretly think in her heart, and decided to speed up her actions and rescue Chu Hongze as soon as possible, after all, the more she stayed, the greater the possibility of exposure.
As a result, before Wen Ruyi could take action, a new incident occurred in the Dragon Teng Kingdom.
The crown prince ascended the throne, and the country changed greatly.
Wen Ruyi knows Chu Hongchen's temperament, tyrannical and ruthless, if he ascends the throne, he will definitely be in trouble soon.
Sure enough, in January, the life of the people of Longteng Kingdom became miserable, and the crown prince Chu Hongchen increased taxes as soon as he ascended the throne, saying that it was to increase the treasury, buy grain and grass to train the army, and prevent the invasion of the enemy country and war.
It is not easy for the people to live, with 10% of their income, 70% of their taxes, and the remaining 30% of them are even a problem with food and clothing.
Some time ago, there was another drought, and almost all the crops were sunburned to death, and the harvest cost was bad. All of a sudden, the drought turned into a flood, and the torrential rain continued for several days, and the rice seedlings that were dry some time ago were now washed away by the rain, and none of them could be saved.
The change was too fast, the price of rice skyrocketed, the people were all hungry, and even the phenomenon of cannibalism began to appear in some places. All over the country have played books, asking Chu Hongchen to pay for disaster relief.
What kind of person is Chu Hongchen? ruthless, regardless of the life and death of the people, he did not take any action after receiving the letter, and simply shelved it.
