Queen Flower

Jiang Lan took advantage of the night to come outside the courtyard, and the two children in the courtyard had already been transported away.

I don't know whose mansion it turned out to be. It's very desolate. It is said that Sima Lian occupied several wealthy people's homes, and then opened them all up. .

She walked out of the yard and leaned against the other wall, when she suddenly heard steady footsteps and the sound of weapons and clothes rubbing against each other. Only then did she realize that this wall was originally the fence of the palace, and the outside was outside the palace, and those sounds were exactly the same. Sent by soldiers on patrol outside. Jiang Lan made up his mind for a while, and sure enough, there is no way out. Now as long as he can find a side door or something, he can successfully send the injured children outside the house. As long as they avoid those people outside, they can rescue them. As for herself, it should be no problem for her to climb over such a high wall.

Jiang Lan groped along the wall. She remembered that the gates of the mansions in the novels were always locked and unused. Sometimes they were used for escape, sometimes they were used for cheating, and they were always in places that seemed very biased. , the family members generally do not know. I don't know what the designers of the house thought, or it's the author's problem. Isn't that kind of door just for the convenience of others? Fortunately, she found a door in a lush green place. The paint on the door was peeling off, and the lock was rusted. It looked like it had not been opened for a long time. She looked out from the crack of the door and found that there were also many trees and weeds along the fence outside, and the door was tightly blocked, and then there was a road. No one is guarding here. It seems that Sima Lian doesn't know much about the newly acquired house. Of course, who made the composition of this new house so complicated.

Jiang Lan hid there and listened carefully to the footsteps outside the house, calculated the time difference between the two sounds, and prepared to act tomorrow night. She wasn't sure that outsiders couldn't hear the sound of her breaking the door lock, and she couldn't break it now, just in case someone found out tomorrow morning. Therefore, only for a limited period of time, break the door lock, and then send the injured child out immediately.

She returned to the courtyard, went into the house and unlocked the fat woman's acupuncture point. The woman turned over and fell asleep, snoring loudly. She looked at the children again. The boy hadn't slept yet. He kept his eyes open and looked at the door. He closed his eyes with peace of mind when he saw her coming in. The little girl breathed naturally and slept soundly. Only the 8-year-old boy had a hot forehead and shortness of breath. Jiang Lan put a cold towel on his forehead and wiped his body, but there was no way to cool him down. He was inflamed, and there was no medicine to treat it. I hope he can survive it until she sends him out.

After such a night, Jiang Lan hardly closed his eyes. When the day came, I was exhausted. Fortunately, no injured children were brought in that day, and no one found the door. While taking care of the children, Jiang Lan recharged her energy and prepared to act that night.

Night came again, Jiang Lan clicked on the fat woman's acupuncture point, and the boy had already got up from the bed.

"Can you go?" Jiang Lan asked him softly.

He nodded, Jiang Lan looked at the unconscious boy and the awake **** the bed. The girl was looking at her with wide eyes. After two days of getting along, Jiang Lan had gained their trust. During the day, when the fat woman was away from the courtyard, she secretly told the children her plans for the night. Although the girl was young, her mind has grown rapidly after suffering, and now she is ready to keep silent. It was just another boy, unable to support his body, fell into a deep coma during the day. Jiang Lan decided to pick up the comatose child later, and rescued the girl by holding the girl in his arms. She held the girl in one hand and walked forward with the boy in the other.

When he was about to reach the door, the boy suddenly stopped, staggered back, picked up a pair of bandaging scissors from the table, and quickly and neatly cut the fat woman's throat in front of the bed, red blood gurgled and stained. Half of the bed was red, and the woman died without even making a sound.

Jiang Lan was a little shocked. Seeing the boy's eyes were flushed with hatred, he didn't speak, picked him up and left. If this woman could give the children a little warmth, she would not be dead today.

"She's seen your face, so she can't live," the boy explained softly as he walked.

Jiang Lan smiled without answering, pulled him up and walked away. In fact, many people saw her face, and they didn't care about her alone, but she still thanked the child for thinking about her.

They stood by the door, and Jiang Lan listened to the voices outside and said to the boy: "After a while, you and your little sister will go out and hide in the bushes and wait for me to come back. If I don't come back, you have to find a chance to take her by yourself. escape."

She looked into the boy's stubborn eyes and said, "You must avoid the soldiers outside and leave alive, remember?"

The boy nodded and took the little girl with difficulty.

Jiang Lan squeezed the lock, luck exerted force, the lock was already very old, and it broke with a click. She gently opened the door and helped the boy send the two out of the door. When they were hiding, she closed the door and returned to the courtyard.

She hurriedly stepped into the door and hugged the unconscious boy, but found that he was not breathing and his body was still warm. She hurriedly introduced the infuriating energy into his body, hoping to save his life, but after a long time There was no movement, and the day was weak, and the child finally couldn't last until he left. Jiang Lan felt a little sad, she put him down carefully, covered him with a quilt, and immediately turned back to find the two living children.

Jiang Lan waited by the door for a while, then opened the door after the sound of footsteps, only to find that the two children had disappeared, there was no sign of fighting around, and there was no abnormal noise. It was estimated that they had successfully escaped from the soldiers. She was very comforted, no matter what, at least two children were saved. As for myself, I finally got in, I can't go out easily, and I can't go back to the courtyard. Anyway, someone will find out the abnormality tomorrow. It's better to go and investigate tonight. If there is no result, then escape from here.

Jiang Lan made up his mind, closed the door, did not go back to the courtyard, and walked directly into the depths of the mansion.

Where to go, in fact, she had no idea at all. But this place is so desolate, it must be far away from Sima Lian. She jumped on the roof and looked around, where there was light, there was hope. But seeing that it is not far from here, not too close, the lights seem to be quite bright.

As long as you have a goal, Jiang Lan wrote down the approximate direction, jumped off the roof, and walked carefully along the road. She didn't dare to jump on the roof, because she thought she died too fast, and it was estimated that the arrow crossbow hidden here would be waiting at any time.

She walked carefully, there was no one at first, and when there was light, there were more and more people. In addition to the female servants with lanterns in their hands, there are also fully armed guards. Jiang Lan hid when he saw someone coming. Fortunately, the greenery here is very good, there are many trees, and rockery stones are everywhere. She hid in the dark, and felt a little regretful in her heart. If she knew earlier, it would be better to find out and make a move. Now it is a bit reckless to go into the tiger's den without a target. Ancient buildings are tiled, that is, sweeping searches. A small thing is not easy, let alone a baby?

While hesitating, I heard a low voice from a woman on the road, "Your Majesty is about to arrive, everything is done? All right, let's go quickly, Your Majesty doesn't like anyone inside." Another said: "It's all good, All leaving."

Jiang Lan took a peek with the probe and saw a small courtyard not far ahead. The courtyard was brightly lit, and people were walking out of the courtyard door and leaving one after another. The yard is not big, and there are no buildings around it. It is built alone by the water. In front of the yard is a lake. The water is open until the wall. There are many trees behind the yard, lush, very lush.

This is a good place to enjoy the coolness in midsummer, with water, trees, and pleasant scenery. It is probably a place for a rich man to steal fun, and it is also a good place for secret conversations.

Jiang Lan waited for these people to pass by, then sneaked around to the back of the yard and hid in the woods to check. Seeing that no one was there, he held his breath and jumped onto the roof of the only building in the yard. Lying on the top, she didn't dare to breathe, she gently took a tile and looked in. I saw that the house was brightly lit, but no one was there. Oil lamps were embedded on the four walls, and all the furniture were lit. In addition to the second, there is a huge copper candle holder in the middle of the house. The bottom is wide and round, and it stands firmly on the ground. The upper part is supported by a cylindrical copper column, which is in the shape of an unfolding flower, which is gradually reduced upwards. , the tips of the petals are filled with lit candles, countless. The whole looks like an upside-down crystal lamp, no wonder the room can be bright as day. Next to the candlestick is a round red sandalwood table with a set of blue-and-white bone china tea sets on the table. There are two Taishi chairs beside the table, just below Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan sighed in his heart that such a remote study has such an arrangement, which is really extravagant.
