Chapter 104 Riddles
Su Hao helped him get up and fed some pretty clean water. But a noisy sound suddenly came from the cell in Li Ke.
After a few days of silence, Jinque, who was always the most gentle and cute, suddenly shook the door of the cell like crazy and screamed loudly.
Li Ke originally wanted to make her quieter, but suddenly found that the small piece of snow-white arms exposed on Jinque's cuffs were full of red pimples, and some of them were even ulcerated and pus, which was very terrifying!
The ceiling, the Jinque also got the ceiling!
Li Ke quickly let go of her hand, and retreated in a hurry, but his legs fell to the ground weakly, and could only use his arms to support him to retreat.
When Li Ke thought of staying with her for a few days, he felt a little itchy, fearing that he would be infected by her.
Jinque shouted so hard that he had no effect at all. He knew that he could not escape this disaster, so he turned around and smiled at Li Ke, and said frantically: "Master, don't you like me the most? I also know that I have no hope, but I just can't bear to leave me. Why don't you let me serve you well again?"
Jinque spoke while taking off his clothes, completely abandoning his shame.
"Don't come over! Go away!" Li Ke retreated to the corner and could not avoid it. He waved his arms randomly to prevent Jinque from approaching.
"Master, don't you love my skin the most? Why don't you look at me anymore?" Jinque approached with a grim smile, and the naked body covered with abscesses made Li Ke vomit out.
Li Ke didn't know where he got the courage, so he picked up a small piece of dry mud from the wall and smashed it into Jinque's face. He took advantage of the time when Jinque was fascinated by the broken dust and punched and kicked her. The small cell was in chaos, and the remaining cells were also screaming desperately at the smallpox.
Just as the prison cell was filled with complaints on Su Hao's side, smoke suddenly rolled in the entire prison, and jailers kept running around with buckets, shouting loudly: "The water is gone, come and put out the fire!"
Su Hao was so smoky that she burst into tears and coughed twice: "This cell is so wet and can still escape water? I'm afraid the prisoner Gu Yihang took someone to interrogate today was robbed."
Li Lun was also choked and had difficulty breathing and coughing continuously.
He heard Su Hao's words and suddenly hooked Su Hao's neck with his arm, causing her to lower her head, and whispered: "If I can open the prison door, will you have a way to escape with this opportunity?"
"Ah? How is it possible? The prison door is still locked." Su Hao was a little surprised, but he still lowered his voice and replied.
Li Lun smiled weakly: "Then you still have hope, right? As for the prison door, leave it to me."
Li Lun struggled to get up from Su Hao's arms, fumbled around his cuffs, and pulled out a thin wire!
Facing Su Hao's surprised eyes, Li Lun was a little proud: "At some point, the experience of eating, drinking, gamble is more effective than the great principles in those books. This was originally intended to prevent people from winning money by gambling and being kidnapped by someone. Who would have thought that it would be used now?"
Li Lun narrowed his eyes, found the position of the prison door chain in the dark and noisy environment, and sowed it with iron wire a few times. With a "bang", he really opened it.
At this moment, the smoke in the entire prison became even worse, and even the jailers running back and forth could not see each other's faces clearly.
Su Hao wanted to walk with Li Lun on his back, but Li Lun refused.
He took off his robe and gave it to Su Hao, with a relief smile in his bright eyes: "As long as you can go out, I will be satisfied. The future of things can only depend on you, you must be fine. The thing you want to give to you in Zhenyu Pavilion has not been taken away. If there is a suitable opportunity, sell it for money."
Li Lun stared at Su Hao's face affectionately, and suddenly sighed and hugged her: "Even if the tears on your face were not shed for me, I am extremely happy..."
Su Hao finally looked back and looked at Li Lun, who seemed to be waiting for death very calmly, and said sincerely: "Thank you!"
After saying this, Su Hao immediately found the right time, hid his figure through various obstacles, and moved to the prison door. This was the opportunity that Li Lun finally created for her, and she must not waste it so simply.
This prison has a "安" shape and only has one exit.
Su Hao concentrated his attention and saw the light from afar and knew that he was already very close to the exit.
However, the voices at the door suddenly increased, indicating that these jailers seemed to have discovered that someone had intercepted prisoners and sent a large number of people to come.
Su Hao thought for a moment and found a corner that must be used to put out the fire, lurking again. When he saw a single prison guard, he knocked him out.
Su Hao changed into her clothes, picked up the bucket, grabbed another handful of ashes from the ground and smeared them on her face, and walked towards the door.
"Why did you come out so soon?" Someone blocked Su Hao's way.
"Ahem, the smoke is too big. I was confused for a moment and sprinkled the water." Su Hao deliberately made a slutty voice and explained with a silly smile.
"Idiot." The man laughed and scolded, kicked her and let her leave.
Su Hao lowered his head and followed the other jailers who came out to fetch water. When he arrived at the slack place of the garrison, he threw the jailers' clothes and wooden barrels onto the tree.
The poor jailer who was knocked out was thrown into a cell by her and probably wouldn't be awake within one or two hours. As long as the evidence is disposal, the chance of her being discovered will be smaller.
After finding a pond, Su Hao cleaned up his body. Although Li Lun's clothes were a little messy and odorous, they were of good quality and intact.
She tied her hair back again, and she was completely a pedantic scholar with a poor family background but a vain pedantic scholar.
The more disguised you are, the more likely you are to be noticed. It is not easy for her to be surprised if you are poor scholars all over the streets.
When Su Hao passed by Li's mansion, the Li's mansion had been sealed, but the people around him only knew that Master Li had killed someone and the whole family was implicated, but he had never heard of smallpox.
She thought about it carefully and understood the reason. After all, smallpox is an epidemic that can cause large-scale infection. If the people are told to cause panic, Gu Yihang would have to deal with more trouble.
If you want to arrest the suspect and search the Li family for another reason, it may bring him a lot of good reputation.
Su Hao is now penniless and can only go to Jinyifang, the west city to find Uncle Wang's help.
She is still very trustworthy of Uncle Wang's character. In addition, although she and Li Lun often go there, they have never said their name before, so there should be no danger of exposing their identity.
As a result, when Su Hao arrived there, he learned from the shop that in order to avenge the Li family, Uncle Wang went to the imperial envoy to file a complaint and never came back.
Su Hao felt a little sad, and he knew that Jinyifang was no longer safe.
Gu Yihang is the kind of person who would rather kill him by mistake than let him go. Even if Uncle Wang’s boss has nothing to do with the Li family, he would not let him go!
Su Hao, after learning the news about Uncle Wang, he just slipped away from the back door of Jinyifang, and a constable was waiting at the front door.
Fortunately, she was quick-responsive and was not caught.
"Now there are really wolves in front and tigers in the back." Su Hao smiled helplessly.
Su Hao touched two fish in the river, barely roasted them and filled them with their stomachs, and began to think about what to do next.
Now that she has been escaping from prison for a whole day and a night, I'm afraid Gu Yihang will increase his wanted efforts.
Unless a person who is hostile to Gu Yihang and has a higher status can be found to help her as soon as possible, the lives of the Li family will be threatened.
Su Hao took advantage of the night to wander around the shops and places where noble people were prone to appear on the street. He suddenly found that there were particularly many people on the street tonight, and there were many lantern stalls selling various colors on the roadside, which were extremely lively.
It turns out that this is one of the traditional festivals in Huaicheng - Mu Buddha Festival.
Every July, people in Huaicheng are called the Ghost Month. During this month, everyone will try to minimize unnecessary outings to avoid rushing to the ghosts who come to visit their relatives.
In order to avoid the unlucky troubles of evil ghosts, the people held a Buddhist meeting on the last day of June, hanging colorful lanterns, tied red ropes, and praying for peace. Riddles are placed in each colorful lantern, and those who guess are rewarded.
This is very similar to the customs of the Shangyuan Festival, Su Hao sighed silently.
Suddenly, her eyes were caught by a lantern painted with Guanyin's blessing.
Among all the lanterns hanging at the door of this shop, it has the best painter and the highest hanging position, so it is particularly eye-catching.
"It's five hundred taels to guess, so generous." Su Hao chuckled, and the light in his eyes flowed, and he squeezed directly to the front of the crowd and looked at the riddle.
"When the peach and plum blossoms bloom, the sycamore tree leaves fall. If you want to achieve your long-lasting ambition, you just want to make a fortune."
This riddle only has these four sentences, and does not specify whether to guess a thing or a word.
Su Hao glanced at it, and some distant memories came one after another...
"Dad, are you writing poetry?" The young girl asked curiously as she was not as tall as the desk.
"This is not a poem, but a riddle." The scholar wearing a luster scarf smiled softly and picked up the little girl so that she could see it more clearly.
"When the peach and plum blossoms bloom, the sycamore tree leaves fall. I want to achieve my ambition forever, but I just want a fortune." The little girl read in a slight voice.
She tilted her head, her chubby little face wrinkled, and said in embarrassment: "This is too difficult, I can't guess."
"Then Dad gave you a little tip, just guess two words." The scholar said encouraged, "Think about it, what season is the blooming and falling leaves? You have to think about the last two sentences!"
"Spring is above and autumn is below. The first two sentences are the word "Qin"!" The little girl suddenly realized, "The daughter means a woman. Square means a mouth. A woman's mouth is a word "ru"! I guess right?"
The little girl raised her head proudly: "I understand, the answer is..."
