5 Ancient times of shocking the snake

"Yao..., Ama, mom, Wan'er suddenly felt a little sleepy. Wan'er went back to her room to rest!" Suddenly, while yawning, Ouyang Xinyu said to Mr. Shangguan and Mrs. Shangguan. The time should be almost over. I hope that when I go out, I won't meet the butler's enemy again.

"You're sleepy? Then Wan'er will go back to her room to go to bed soon! If you have anything to say, let's chat slowly with Ama and Mom tomorrow!" Hearing Ouyang Xinyu yawning that she was sleepy, Mrs. Shangguan and Mrs. Shangguan immediately looked at each other. Then, Mrs. Shangguan said to her.

"Well, Ama, mom, then Wan'er went back to her room!" Hearing Mrs. Shangguan say this, Ouyang Xinyu immediately stood up and said to Mr. Shangguan and Mrs. Shangguan.

"Go, Wan'er, take a break early after returning to the room!" Mr. Shangguan waved his hand to Ouyang Xinyu, and then said to her.

After coming out of the room of Mr. Shangguan and Mrs. Shangguan, Ouyang Xinyu looked left and right with caution. When she saw that there was no one, she immediately accelerated her pace toward the gate. However, just as she walked through the corridor and arrived at the front yard, she found that there seemed to be someone guarding the gate of the Shangguan Mansion. So she changed her mind and prepared to go out of the stable.

Fortunately, no one was guarding the stable, otherwise their plan would have failed today. In the past, there was no guard at the gate of Shangguan Mansion at night, so why did it suddenly appear today? Could it be that he just met the butler in the corridor and he was aware of her behavior? That's why he sent someone to guard the gate? In this case, wouldn't it be very bad? Xiao Cuiya was not discovered outside!

While hurriedly passing through the stables, Ouyang Xinyu kept thinking on the road. Now, what she was most worried about was that their whereabouts were discovered by the housekeeper, and then he intercepted them halfway like during the day. Although the housekeeper was very trustworthy and did not report the matter to the master and his wife. However, Ouyang Xinyu knew that with the housekeeper's loyalty to the Shangguan Mansion, he would definitely not give up on this matter.

Xiao Cuiya had been waiting for Ouyang Xinyu outside the side door of Shangguan Mansion with her horse. She was a little anxious when she saw Ouyang Xinyu not coming for so long! Why haven’t she come for so long? Could it be that something happened? Xiao Cuiya was a little anxious when she waited. She looked left and right but still didn’t see Ouyang Xinyu’s figure. She asked herself in her heart.

"Xiao Cui, there are people guarding the gate there. It must be the butler who discovered our whereabouts. We have to turn the way!" After a long time, Ouyang Xinyu finally came out of the stable and walked to Xiao Cuiyatou, and said to her excitedly.

"Miss Xinyu, what's wrong? Why did you come out of the stable? Have you been discovered by the butler?" Seeing Ouyang Xinyu come out of the stable, Xiao Cuiya led the horse to meet her and asked her worriedly.

"Xiao Cui, I don't know either! Just now, I went to the room of the master and his wife and met the butler in the corridor. He blocked my way and asked me where I was going? What are you doing?" When Xiao Cui Yatou heard Xiao Yang ask her, Ouyang Xinyu told Xiao Cui Yatou all the things he had encountered the butler in the corridor.

"Miss Xinyu, it's not convenient for us to say this now. Let's get on the horse quickly. Let's talk about other things after leaving here!" Hearing Ouyang Xinyu say this, Xiao Cuiya suddenly became alert. She glanced around and then urged Ouyang Xinyu.

"Okay, Xiao Cui! Let's get on the horse quickly and then walk the path from here! In this way, the chances of our whereabouts being discovered by the butler are smaller!" Ouyang Xinyu grabbed the reins of the horse, jumped up, and sat steadily on the back of the horse. She reached out to Xiao Cuiya and told her instructions.

"Miss Xinyu, Xiaocui guessed that the incident we were on the edge of the cliff this morning caused the housekeeper's suspicion. Therefore, he was guarded against us?" The horse carried Ouyang Xinyu and Xiaocuiyato away from the streets of Furong Town and ran towards the mountain road. Xiaocuiyato sat behind the horse and asked Ouyang Xinyu.

"Xiao Cui, I think your guess is very likely! But what if the butler brings people to catch up?" After hearing Xiao Cui Yatou's guess, Ouyang Xinyu replied to her. Then, she asked Xiao Cui Yatou worriedly.

"Xiao Cui didn't find anything abnormal when she was outside just now. I guess the housekeeper and the others would not be able to catch up for a while! Miss Xinyu, wait a moment, we will hide the horse first at the edge of the cliff. Then, Xiao Cui hid behind the big stone. In this way, the housekeeper and the others should not be able to find it!" Xiao Cui replied to Ouyang Xinyu and arranged for her to say.

"Okay, Xiao Cui, just listen to you! Wait for a moment, I will take the torch below the cliff, so that there will be no fire on it, and our safety will be more likely to win!" Ouyang Xinyu replied to Xiao Cuiya.

Since Ouyang Xinyu and Xiao Cui Yatou rode forward in the dark, the two walked very slowly. After leaving the streets of Furong Town and entering the mountain road area, Xiao Cui Yatou took out the fire broker from her arms and lit it. After entering the woods, Xiao Cui Yatou jumped off the horse and cut a hole from the pine tree next to it. Then, tied the cloth strip to a branch and let the pine oil drip evenly on the cloth strip. After all the cloth strips were stained with pine oil, Xiao Cui Yatou pointed the fire broker at the cloth strip and lit it. The entire forest was illuminated instantly, like daytime.

"Wow, Xiao Cui, it's so amazing! The first time I saw that you ancient people could make such a bright torch without using matches and gasoline!" Seeing that Xiao Cui's torch was ready so quickly, Ouyang Xinyu screamed in excitement.

"Miss Xinyu, this is the first time Xiao Cui has made a torch! Let's make a few more and hide it behind the big stone. When it is not enough, we don't have to pour it back and get the pine oil! This time, we have to dip a little more pine oil on it so that the torch will not be extinguished in an instant!" Xiao Cui's girl handed the torch to Ouyang Xinyu's hand. After she finished speaking, she started to make the torch again.

"Xiao Cui, enough, we have three torches! Anyway, wait a moment before you are on the edge of the cliff and don't use torches!" Seeing that Xiao Cui made three more torches, Ouyang Xinyu shouted to her.
