Chapter 223 Step on me
Only then did Suxue realize her current posture, her old face turned red all of a sudden, she quickly took her hands away from Wang Zeran's neck, held on to the wall tremblingly, not even daring to look back, and said weakly to Si Sheng
: "That's it."
The corners of Wang Zeran's mouth curled up slightly, and he stood up from the wall neatly. He walked to the nearest tree, held on to the trunk, and stretched out a hand to Suxue, "Sister Xue, stand up and help me walk."
come over."
Suxue grabbed Wang Zeran's hand, but she didn't dare to stand on the wall. She had to let go and sat in front of Wang Zeran.
Wang Zeran couldn't help but chuckle, and Suxue dug his eyes fiercely into his eyes.
Wang Zeran quickly calmed down his expression and helped Suxue hug the tree trunk and slide down.
It wasn't until her feet stepped firmly on the ground in the yard that Suxue felt truly at ease.
Suxue looked around, but there was still no movement in the yard, and there was no sign of anyone moving. She raised her head and said angrily: "Wang Zeran, you can come down too."
Wang Zeran hugged the tree trunk and was about to slide down when he heard Si Sheng say from outside the wall: "Hey, you both went down, what should I do?"
"Uncle, wait outside..." Before Wang Zeran could finish his words, he couldn't control his body and slid down the tree trunk, leaving Si Sheng anxiously beating the wall with his fists outside the courtyard, "You two...
…”
"Who is there?"
As soon as Wang Zeran's feet touched the ground, he heard a man's questioning voice coming from outside the hospital. He squeezed Suxue's hand nervously, fearing that Si Sheng, who was not too strong, would be seen to suffer a loss outside the wall.
Suxue calmly tapped the back of his hand with her thumb to reassure him.
After a burst of messy footsteps, I heard the confused voices of two men coming over.
"Hey, I heard some noise just now and saw a dark shadow on the wall. Why did it disappear in the blink of an eye?"
"It's not like you saw it wrong, right?"
"I saw it wrong, did you hear it wrong too? Didn't you say there was something going on here?"
"I..., maybe I heard it wrong. I was a little sleepy and confused just now."
"You kid, you just wander around during the day, and you don't have the energy to stay vigil at night. If you want to..."
Wang Zeran listened to the voices outside the hospital getting farther and farther away, and gradually couldn't hear them anymore. Then he took a breath and asked in Suxue's ear: "Is uncle okay?"
Suxue had long heard from the words of the two people that Si Sheng must have hid in the space. She said confidently: "It's okay. My dad reacts quickly. Don't worry about him. You come with me."
Wang Zeran glanced at the wall again uneasily, and then followed Suxue through the field ridge in the yard to the base of the wall on the other side.
Although this wall is shorter than the outer wall we climbed just now, it is still as tall as a person. The door at the south end of the wall is tightly closed.
"Wang Zeran, put me on the wall and let me go over and take a look first."
Just standing on the top of the outer wall, Wang Zeran had already seen the big man guarding the courtyard over there. How could he let Suxue take the risk? He said forcefully: "I'd better go up."
After Wang Zeran said that, he looked for it in the yard. If he could find something like a stool to put his feet on, as long as his hand could touch the wall, he could climb up.
Suxue tugged on his sleeve and said, "Stop looking for me. Just step on my shoulders and see what's going on over there first."
Wang Zeran glanced at Suxue's shoulders. How could her small body and delicate shoulders withstand his step?
"Okay, if you hesitate any longer, it's already dawn." Suxue was a little impatient and squatted directly on the wall, "You go up and take a look at the situation in the courtyard first, and then find a place where you can hide people."
Suxue knew that the large green plants on the other side of the wall were a good place to hide. Let Wang Zeran hide there first, and then she would use the space to do something to attract people, and Wang Zeran could take the opportunity to enter the house to investigate.
.
"But..." Wang Zeran stared at Suxue's shoulders and back, raised and put his feet down, but still couldn't bear to step on them.
"Come on, you grinder, step on me." Si Sheng's voice came from behind the two of them.
"father--"
"uncle--"
Suxue and Wang Zeran exclaimed at the same time.
"Shh-" Si Sheng quickly raised his finger to signal the two of them to be quiet.
But it was too late. The door at the south end of the wall was pushed open with a bang, and a big man walked into the yard holding a lantern in one hand and a wooden stick in the other.
Si Sheng and Wang Zeran pressed Suxue closely against the wall at the same time, hiding in the shadow behind the tree trunk.
The big man held up a lantern to shine in the yard, and then walked towards the low house to the south.
Suxue looked at Si Sheng in confusion. Si Sheng seemed to know something and signaled her to be silent.
The man walked to the door of the house, put the wooden stick outside the door, carried the lantern and went in. Within two breaths, the sound of "gurgling" water could be heard in the house.
That's...the toilet?
Suxue felt relieved and looked at Si Sheng without words. Si Sheng seemed to have come from that direction just now.
Si Sheng pretended not to see Suxue's gaze and whispered to Wang Zeran: "Boy Wang, stay here while Xue'er and I go over to the yard over there to take a look."
"Uncle, I..."
Si Sheng glared and said, "You didn't see that the door is opened from this courtyard. If someone bolts the door, Xue'er and I won't be able to get out."
Wang Zeran put his head to look at the two doors. It was just as Si Sheng said, the courtyard here is the inside of the door, and the courtyard next door is the outside.
Si Sheng coaxed: "You must guard this door for us. We won't just point to this door and go back and forth."
Suxue also said: "There is another important task here, which is to protect us. You watch from the crack in the door. If my father and I are in danger, you must find a way to distract people so that we can escape."
After listening to Si Sheng and Suxue's words, Wang Zeran suddenly felt that the task of staying in this courtyard was quite arduous. Although he was still a little doubtful, he nodded in agreement.
"Boy Wang, if you encounter any danger, you have to save your own life first and run over there. There is a drainage hole behind the hut that can lead to Jia's house." Si Sheng pointed the direction to Wang Zeran.
Just when Wang Zeran was about to say something, Suxue suddenly raised her index finger and shushed, and the three of them immediately held their breath.
I saw a head peeking out of the small doorway at the south end, shouting to the south of the yard: "Gou Sheng, why aren't you better yet?"
After a while, Gou Sheng's strenuous voice came from the toilet, "Shitou, I have to wait a while, I have diarrhea."
"Look at what you're doing, if the master rewards you with some meat, you'll have diarrhea." Shitou said sarcastically, and then said: "I'm going to get some candles from the front. Two lanterns on the porch have been extinguished. Come on when you're done.
Point them out and guard them in the yard."
The dog in the toilet immediately responded: "It will take a while to get the candle from the front. You go quickly, I will be out in a while."
The man who called Shitou at the door retracted his head, and the footsteps slowly walked away.
There were only two night watchmen in the yard next door. One went into the toilet and the other went to the front to get the candle. So there should be no guards in the yard now, right?
Suxue and Si Sheng looked at each other, what a great opportunity, if you don't act now, how long will it take?
When Si Sheng and Suxue disappeared into the doorway, Wang Zeran realized what he was doing and beat his head in annoyance. Sister Xue should be the one doing this gatekeeping job. How could he not be noticed by his uncle and Sister Xue?
