I opened a treasure chest on the road to escape

Chapter 62 Captivity

"Sister Chuxue, what's the best plan?"

"The best idea..."

Chen Chuxue sighed. In fact, her approach could not be said to be the best strategy, but it was the only one with a relatively high success rate.

"The best option is for us to sneak in."

"Sneaking in?" Aunt Geng's heart moved, "What do you mean?"

Chen Chuxue pointed to the wall in the distance, "I took a look and found that the wall is only seven or eight meters long. We can find a way to climb up..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone frowned.

"Forehead……"

"Sister Chuxue, we are not spiders, how can we climb up there!"

"Use a rope on the top of the wall and you can climb up." Uncle Geng touched his chin and said, "You can give this method a try."

"However, we can't be near here, we have to find a remote enclosure."

Otherwise, if there are disaster victims around, they will be discovered if they make any move.

"It's possible to climb." Aunt Geng frowned, "After we climbed up, have you considered the risk of being discovered..."

Once discovered, it is equivalent to a sheep among wolves, and it will be a dead end.

It would be fine if those soldiers were soft-hearted, but if they were ruthless, they would probably be killed immediately.

"If they are discovered, I will borrow the identity of Qing Yunhou's niece again." Chen Chuxue said, regardless of whether the identity is true or false, those soldiers will never kill them immediately.

As long as they don't resist, they can save their lives.

They could take the opportunity to escape while they were being taken to the county magistrate, or they could escape while they were locked up.

Aunt Geng was silent, thinking about the feasibility of Chen Chuxue's method.

"it is good!"

Finally, Aunt Geng agreed.

Then a few people began to continue to improve the plan.

"First, we need to figure out the guard situation on the city wall and choose a suitable location."

Only by finding out how many people are guarding the city wall and what their patrol hours and patterns are, can we take better action.

Not only that, but you also need to know how to get down after climbing the wall.

Where are the stairs behind the city wall?

Are there any traps?

How many soldiers are there?

"Second, we have to find a way to make a flying hook..."

If you want to climb the city wall, you can only use a flying hook to secure the rope and then climb up.

"Flying hook..."

Aunt Geng frowned, "This is a bit difficult. The nearest town from here is several days away...and there is no one there already, so you may not be able to find the hook..."

"It doesn't have to be a hook!"

Chen Chuxue thought for a while and said, "We can just build a staircase. Anyway, the city wall is not high, only seven or eight meters..."

"Build stairs?"

Uncle Geng was stunned for a moment, and then nodded. Indeed, the flying hook was suitable for him to climb alone, but Xiaoxue and Xiaoyan were both still young, so they might not be able to climb forward.

It would be easier if there were stairs.

"But building such a long staircase would not be convenient for moving, and it would be too conspicuous..."

"I have everything up my sleeve!"

Chen Chuxue's words made a few people realize, yes, why didn't they think of this? With Xiaoxue's sleeves, they could easily carry it.

"Also, we can make the stairs stronger and join them in two sections."

"This is no problem, I can handle it." Uncle Geng patted his chest, then frowned, "The main reason is that I don't have the materials..."

Yes, it's not like before. The drought has caused there to be no greenery around, and there are no trees to make stairs. Seeing that she was in trouble again, Chen Chuxue touched her chin and started thinking, and then she suddenly spoke.

"I still have bed boards, tables and chairs here. Can I split them to make stairs..."

Uncle Geng's face lit up with joy, "This is okay."

In fact, it would be stronger if there were tree trunks or bamboo as the main trunk of the stairs, but without that condition now, the bed board is barely enough.

Split the bed boards, use the middle as the tread, and the two sides as the trunk, and you can piece together a staircase.

"It's better to go around and see if we can find some villages and see if we can collect strong tree trunks..."

Aunt Geng was not sure whether such a staircase could withstand it or it would collapse halfway up the stairs.

"That's true."

Uncle Geng didn't dare to joke with the lives of his wife and daughter. The stairs more than ten meters long had to be built stronger.

…………

"When it gets dark, we will go along the city wall to see if we can find a suitable breakthrough."

Although they can see the soldiers on the city wall during the day, they dare not climb the wall during the day, they can only wait until the dead of night.

Therefore, it is necessary to know whether there are soldiers patrolling at night and whether there are soldiers resting on the city wall.

If there is a patrol, he can see it. After all, Xiaoxue gave him a thermal imaging. No matter how dark it is at night, he doesn't have to worry. The thermal imaging can clearly see the figures walking on the city wall.

However, it would be troublesome if they were sitting and resting against the city wall. They would be blocked by the city wall and would not be visible in the thermal imaging.

It would be embarrassing if they climbed up and the soldiers on both sides of the city wall looked at them dumbfounded.

It's a pity that they can't fly into the sky, otherwise they can see the situation on the city wall at night from the sky.

"We have to stay away from the city gate by then. I feel like this group of people has a secret..." Chen Chuxue pointed to the victims at the city gate.

They're very hostile to themselves and don't seem to want them anywhere near them, and that's a problem.

Moreover, they stayed here for ten days and a half. Seeing that they had no baggage or anything, they were able to persist for so many days. Obviously there was something wrong.

Uncle Geng nodded, he also discovered this problem.

Therefore, he borrowed a telescope from Chen Chuxue and stared at the city gate.

"There is a situation."

Suddenly, Uncle Geng frowned, and then handed the telescope to Chen Chuxue. After Chen Chuxue took it, he looked towards the city gate.

The soldiers on the city wall only threw down a few things from above, and even hung a wooden barrel with a rope. Everyone looked at the barrel and rushed over to rob it.

Unfortunately, the soldiers on the city wall shot one of them with a bow and arrow, which immediately frightened the others.

As the soldiers yelled, they were asked to be quiet, and then they lined up one by one to get water.

That's right, the bucket was actually water.

And the things that were thrown down just now were steamed buns and cakes.

"This is……"

Chen Chuxue was stunned, and then suddenly realized, no wonder these people could persist for more than ten days. It turned out that it was the soldiers on the city wall who rescued them.

But why do they do this?

Could it be that you can't bear it?

However, if they can't bear it, shouldn't they be allowed to enter the city?

There are only a dozen people anyway, so letting them enter the city will have no impact.

Moreover, if you can't bear it, you won't shoot the victims?

This contradictory situation made Chen Chuxue frown and somewhat confused.

Aunt Geng put down the telescope and sighed, "I understand."

Chen Chuxue and others subconsciously looked over and heard Aunt Geng say, "Have you ever heard of captive breeding..."
