After being expelled from the palace, she returned with her cub and amazed the whole city

Suisui secretly cursed the quintessence of Chinese culture in his heart, and said patiently: "Uncle, you just said, this is the center of the lake, I will drown if I jump in."

He moved his legs again and said, "Our hands and feet are tied. Even if you help us loosen our ties, I won't jump."

The masked man glared at Suisui, put the teapot hard on the ground, walked to the window, and muttered: "You are a small person, and you have a lot of trouble."

Just when Suisui and Changle were secretly happy, they looked up and saw the masked man's hand stopping pushing the window.

"No, you will shout if you open the window."

"No, no, uncle, believe me. If we shout even half a sentence, you can come up and throw us into the water." Suisui's little head shook like a rattle, and the pious attitude on his face made the masked man hesitate. got up.

This child was so unusual. He didn't cry or make any fuss, he was quite cooperative, and he didn't even have the slightest idea of ​​being kidnapped.

"There is water all around here. It's no use even if we shout to break our throats. Even fools know such a simple truth." Chang Le rolled his eyes and almost didn't say that the masked man was a fool.

The employer has sent a message to the leader, telling him to keep an eye on the two children. They can scold but not hit them, and they must not get hurt.

After many years of wandering around the world, this was the first time that he felt that the people he held hostage were not hostages, but rather two ancestors.

The man felt that what these two little brats said was reasonable. After hesitating for a moment, he only pushed open a crack and turned back to the two of them: "If you two stay well, you may go home before dawn. If you want to cause trouble, then don't even think about seeing them." To the sun tomorrow.”

The tone was full of threats, but these threatening words gave Changle and Suisui peace of mind.

Those who kidnapped them would let them go, and not for long.

Suisui lowered his eyes slightly and glanced at his legs, wondering if the things in his pocket were still there.

My mother said that you can’t place your hopes on others, the initiative must be in your own hands.

Seeing the timid appearance of the two men, the man picked up the teapot and walked out.

As the footsteps faded away, Changle said, "The door seems to be unlocked?"

"We won't run if it's not locked." Suisui blinked obediently.

Changle didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Suisui Gourd, so she whispered: "You know how to drink water?"

Suisui shook his head, "Uncle Nangong hasn't had time to teach me yet."

Chang Le was immediately discouraged, "Then why are you trying so hard? If the window is just cracked, what's the difference between not opening it?"

"Little aunt, turn around, you'll know in a moment." Suisui lowered his voice.

Looking at the ray of silver moonlight coming in from the crack of the window, there seemed to be a strip of light in the room, Chang Le suddenly realized, "Do you want to untie the rope?"

Suisui nodded, "My little aunt is so smart, she guesses right."

Although he couldn't escape after being untied, at least his hands wouldn't feel so uncomfortable. Changle turned around very cooperatively and let his wrists face the ray of moonlight.

"Little aunt, please bend down, lift your hands up a little, and bring your hands as close as possible."

Suisui asked Changle to adjust the angle and observe the knotting method of the rope.

He once saw Nangong Zeyue teaching Changsheng skills such as unlocking and untying ropes.

Sui Sui started to untie the rope with his teeth after seeing it correctly. Perhaps the gangster saw that the two were just children and the knotting method was not complicated, so Sui Sui bit the rope and untied it bit by bit.

I don't know what the rope was used for. The smell on it is stinky and has a salty taste.

Sui Sui bites for a while and then spits.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the rope on Changle's hand was finally untied.

Changle's wrists were red from being strangled, and she didn't even have time to rub them before untying them.

His hands were relaxed, and Sui Sui hurriedly touched his trouser pockets.

God bless!

His self-defense kit is still there.

The two quickly untied the ropes around their ankles.

"Sui Sui, does it hurt? Just bear with it. The bad guy said we can go back soon, but I don't know if it's true." Changle rubbed Sui Sui's wrists and ankles.

"You can't trust the words of bad people. Little aunt, please give me the rope."

Changle moved his legs and Suisui stroked the rope to check its length.

Under Changle's surprised gaze, he tiptoed towards the wooden door.

The door was ajar, Sui Sui pushed it gently, and there was a "squeak" sound, and he quickly retracted his hand.

Changle was not idle either. He could always go to the window and take a look.

She walked lightly to the window, and in order not to make any noise, she pushed the window open little by little.

Sure enough, we are here in the middle of the lake. Under the moonlight, the waves are sparkling. Looking into the distance, we can see a few painted boats, brightly lit, moving slowly on the lake.

In the distance, as the night wind blows, you can occasionally hear the faint sound of the piano.

"Sui Sui, only Lianwu Lake is the largest in the capital, right?" Changle was not sure. She heard the old man in the palace talking about Lianwu Lake.

"That's right, Lianwu Lake is very big. Tonight there are people taking a boat trip to Lianwu Lake, and there are also people coming to the lake to put out lanterns."

He heard all this from the maids in the mansion every year. He didn't want to come to the lake, but who knew he would get on the boat in this way tonight.

He turned back and went to the window, which was out of reach for him, and moved a few rattan futons to the coffee table.

Several futons are stacked together, and you can finally see the scene outside the window when you stand on them.

Changle hugged Suisui with both hands, letting him stand more firmly on the futon.

Seeing that the painted boat in the distance showed no sign of coming to the center of the lake, Changle said: "The gangster is too cunning. No other painted boat will come here."

"Little aunt, look there are no lanterns on the lake here. It's impossible for us to ask for help from others." Suisui said, sticking his head out of the window and looking down.

There were no lights on the lower floor of the pleasure boat, and no one was heard talking.

Suisui estimated the height and reached out to feel the wind direction.

His sleeves were blown to the left by the night wind. The wind direction was wrong. There was not much powder in his pocket, so he had to hit it in one fell swoop.

"It's cold at night. There is a quilt on the bed. I'll watch over you. Go to sleep for a while. If the bad guys come, I'll carry you to the ground and lie down." Changle said and pulled Suisui's hand back.

"Aunt, I have my newly mixed itching powder in my pocket, but the wind direction is wrong now." Suisui said and looked to the other side.

"What is itching powder?"

Suisui lowered his voice and explained patiently: "It makes people feel itchy when it touches their skin, and they can't help scratching. In less than an hour, it will be red and swollen. If the bad guys get sick,

do we have to go ashore to seek medical treatment? My parents must be looking for us at this time. As long as the criminals go to the clinic to buy medicine, the officials will follow the clues to find us."

Changle saw hope, and his uneasy heart gradually calmed down.

"Sui Sui is really smart. No, how come you are fine with it?"

"Aunt Qiu Ju made a layer of oil paper in her purse, so it won't hurt me."

It was the first time that Changle knew about this kind of poison. Looking at her treasured nephew, Changle was so excited that she forgot that she was in danger.

She pulled Sui Sui to the other side, "Wait, I'll open the window and you can see the wind direction on this side. Is it feasible?"

"Well, little aunt, push it gently, don't let the bad guys notice it."

Changle gently groped for the window frame, and there was a slight sound when she pushed the first window.

She quickly stopped and changed another one. Changle was so nervous that her palms were sweating. Fortunately, not every window would make a "squeaking" sound.

The window was just half opened when she heard the sound of a boat paddle stirring the water.

Changle leaned slightly and saw a small boat rowing away.
