Chapter 179 Preparing to Escape
For more than ten days, Ji Qingyue could only come out to look around at night when no one was around, trying to find a way out of the house. During the day, he stayed in the painting doing nothing.
Although Ji Qingyue had no intention of snooping into Miss Lu's life, the various noises made by the servants who revolved around Miss Lu all day long made it difficult for Ji Qingyue not to understand from the side what kind of person this lady was.
Homegirl.
It’s not that Miss Lu doesn’t like to go out. The social life of a daughter of an aristocratic family changes day by day. It seems that every day various invitations are sent to Miss Lu, inviting her to participate in activities. Miss Lu naturally won’t participate in all of them, but will choose some that she wants to go and are difficult to refuse.
In these ten days alone, this young lady attended two flower shows, a tea party, two poetry readings, a horse racing meeting, and also attended a premiere and a coming-of-age banquet with her elders.
There is a banquet almost every other day, and I feel tired just thinking about it.
As long as there was no banquet, Miss Lu would stay at home and was even reluctant to leave her own yard.
Thanks to Miss Lu's frequent banquets and outings, Ji Qingyue had the opportunity to see how many security personnel were hidden in this courtyard.
Once, Ji Qingyue happened to run into Miss Lu going out. In this courtyard that seemed to have few people, more than ten people suddenly jumped out from nowhere to escort their young lady.
It turned out that these people had been hiding cleverly in the nooks and corners of the yard.
Thanks to this, Ji Qingyue observed that every time Miss Lu went out, the scene was extraordinary. Not only did she take five close maids with her, but she was also accompanied by a large number of security personnel, and only guards were arranged to wait outside the courtyard gate.
By then, there would be no one left in the entire yard.
Now is a good time to leave!
In order to determine the next escape route, Ji Qingyue had to take a risk and explore the way.
On this day, Miss Lu went out to attend a banquet again. I heard that it was a hairpin banquet hosted by the royal princess.
Ji Qingyue was waiting for this opportunity. He came out of the painting when the yard was quiet. Then he lay down under the window and looked out, changing directions several times. After making sure that the guards who had been hiding in various corners had left, he carefully opened a window facing away from the main door.
In order to facilitate exploration, Ji Qingyue did not put on a robe. He only wore a long-sleeved T-shirt and a pair of jeans, and the sneakers he brought with him. He looked exactly like he had just traveled through time, except that his long hair reminded him that he had been in another world for more than three years.
Her long hair was tied into a round bun and placed casually on her head. She was not wearing any luggage except for a thermos cup on her waist.
Ji Qingyue climbed out of the window lightly, waited for a while and closed the window gently after hearing no other sounds.
Miss Lu lives in a small and exquisite courtyard. There are two houses in the north and south that have different functions. There is a moon gate in the east and west directions, but no one knows where they lead to.
Considering that Miss Lu entered and exited through the east entrance, the moon gate on the east leads to other places in the house, while the door on the west leads to the attached garden.
Ji Qingyue quickly walked around from the back of the house to the west corridor. The place where people usually waited was now empty.
Just as expected.
Then, after passing the Moon Gate, what comes into view is indeed a rare northern garden.
The styles of northern gardens are very different from those of southern gardens. The climate in the south is not only pleasant but also suitable for various plants. With the blessing of a warm environment, the species of plants and animals that can be used are ever-changing. The vegetation in northern gardens looks much simpler.
Not only are there differences in plant species, but also the landscapes in northern gardens are more wild and domineering, with mountains and water piled up and arranged, giving a momentum of "lofty mountains to be admired, and beautiful scenery to be admired".
If Ji Qingyue saw the poetic and picturesque beauty of literati in the Jiangnan gardens, then in this small northern garden he saw the insurmountable order and hierarchy. The layout on both sides was symmetrical with the central axis, with a clear distinction between the primary and the secondary, and neat and rigorous.
Ji Qingyue did not linger on the scenery in the garden for too long, but quickly looked for a way out along the garden wall.
What is outside the wall?
The high wall was at least one and a half people tall, nearly three meters high, and there was nothing around to give him leverage. If he tried to climb up, it would definitely take a lot of effort. With his clumsy movements, he might even alert the patrolling guards.
So Ji Qingyue had to lie on the wall, trying hard to distinguish the sounds outside the wall.
The neat and overlapping footsteps were the patrolling guards, and the whispers were the servants passing by in a hurry...
From time to time, different footsteps could be heard, hurrying past.
In other words, outside this north-south wall is a north-south public passage.
With such dense flow of people, if I just climbed out like this, I would definitely be seen by the Lu family's servants or guards.
The structures of siheyuan are similar. The square courtyard and garden form a fully functional but closed siheyuan. Therefore, the four sides outside the courtyard should be east-west or north-south passages.
How to get out?
Gulu gulu——
Suddenly, a large cluster of dense bubbles emerged from the pond in the yard.
Ji Qingyue's hair stood on end instantly. He pressed his back against the wall and stared at the bubbles on the lake.
There seems to be some huge creature hiding in the water. Only a huge creature can exhale such a large string of bubbles!
The bubbles were slowly approaching his position and gradually coming to the shore. Ji Qingyue stared at the water surface under his feet vigilantly.
I saw a pair of golden green eyes emerging from the bottom of the emerald water!
Ji Qingyue was so frightened that he almost screamed out, but the next moment he quickly covered his mouth tightly, fearing that the sound would attract the guards patrolling around.
The pair of golden-green eyes lay motionlessly at the bottom of the water, staring at Ji Qingyue, as if they would rush out and drag him under the water as soon as the people on the shore made any unusual movements.
The eyes at the bottom of the water gradually grew bigger, and the unknown creatures at the bottom of the pool began to float up.
Ji Qingyue's heart was in his throat as he wondered what to do next.
As the eyeballs became clearer and clearer, other parts of the unidentified creature gradually emerged.
A pair of large curved horns.
Then there is the outline of a huge body.
After seeing the head of the underwater creature clearly, Ji Qingyue's heart finally settled down and he let out a long sigh of relief.
It turned out to be a big buffalo from the south!
Commonly known as the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast.
Adult buffaloes have a very large lung capacity. After taking in enough air, they can dive into the water for several minutes, which is enough time for them to sink to the bottom of the water to find delicious aquatic plants.
Looking at the big buffalo head on the water, Ji Qingyue shouted in confusion in his heart: Why does Miss Lu raise a big buffalo in the garden?
After the big buffalo surfaced, it looked at Ji Qingyue curiously while chewing some water grass. The man and the beast just stared at each other quietly.
Perhaps it was because the buffalo itself was gentle in nature, or perhaps after some judgment, it decided that Ji Qingyue was not a threat, so it did not launch an attack.
The big buffalo was huge, and although it was not completely above the water, judging from its outline and large curved horns, it must have been an adult, perhaps weighing a ton.
Ji Qingyue suddenly remembered that he had heard the maids mention a strange name these days. He raised his hand and waved it, greeting the big buffalo in a friendly way: "Are you the 'Cangshui Qiu'?"
Just as he finished speaking, the buffalo suddenly poked half of its body out of the water, shook its head and snorted, then slowly moved towards the shore.
When the buffalo breathed, it exhaled a lot of hot air which hit Ji Qingyue's shoes. He was so scared that he dared not move, for fear that the big buffalo would suddenly change its face and rush out of the water to knock him away.
The previous experience of Jiro being knocked away by a wild boar was enough for him to learn from. He didn’t want to die socially…
Fortunately, the big buffalo lost interest after sniffing for a while, turned back into the water, and seemed to glance back at the strange man on the shore before diving, and then sank back into the water to look for aquatic plants.
Ji Qingyue patted his chest. His heart was beating violently in his chest and it couldn't calm down for a while.
Whether it was the fear of giant creatures or the fear of deep water, he felt it deeply at this moment.
The big buffalo returned to the bottom of the water and disappeared in an instant. The green water concealed its body, as if it had never appeared.
However, the sudden ripples on the water surface exposed the location of the buffalo, and it can be inferred that it was swimming towards the north at this time.
Gudong Gudong——
Ji Qingyue was on edge when he suddenly heard a faint sound of water.
Could it be that the big buffalo is exhaling again?
But no bubbles appeared on the water surface.
So Ji Qingyue looked towards the direction where the sound of water came from, which was exactly the north.
He walked closer to the pond and saw that the north wall was very close to the edge of the pond, almost touching it at the closest point.
Ji Qingyue lowered his head and, as expected, saw the looming figure of the big buffalo in the water again.
The sound of water was caused by a giant buffalo named "Cangshui Qiu" blocking the water inlet.
water intake?
Ji Qingyue squatted down and carefully examined the connection between the wall and the pond.
It turned out that there was a brick missing from the wall at a place roughly level with the water surface, leaving a hole the size of a palm.
He stretched out his hand to the front of the cave and felt the water slowly flowing through his fingers into the pond. Cang Shui Qiu was blocking the entrance of the cave and using the slow water flow to massage his body.
A faint light appeared at the entrance of the cave, indicating that the entrance must be connected to the ground and the distance is not far.
Ji Qingyue squatted down and put his hand into the water outlet. It was a narrow passage, and even the palm could not be fully opened, let alone a person.
But he is not a complete human being!
If you want to know how long the water inlet is, it is inevitable to go into the water.
But... the Cangshuiqiu stuck in the water...
The next moment, Ji Qingyue suddenly disappeared under the gaze of the big buffalo.
If someone saw the big buffalo at this time, they would be surprised that an animal could make such a surprised expression.
In order to highlight its surprise, the big buffalo even stuck half of its body out of the water and kept sniffing the place where Ji Qingyue was standing before he disappeared.
Where is the person! Where is such a big person! How did he disappear! What about this strange bottle on the ground that smells like that person! !
Suddenly a figure appeared, and the big buffalo was so scared that it turned around and crashed into the water, creating a splash of water that reached the sky.
Ji Qingyue was naturally soaked.
He stood by the pond holding a basket of pears and wiping the water off his face. The big buffalo that sank to the bottom of the water quietly revealed a pair of eyes that seemed to show an apology.
The noise made by the big buffalo naturally alarmed the guards patrolling outside the wall. Ji Qingyue clearly heard the guards on the other side of the wall sighing: "What happened to the Cang Shui Qiu that the young lady raised?"
"He must be enjoying his grass!"
"There is not a day that Cangshui Qiu doesn't jump into the water."
The guards were accustomed to this situation and did not take the sound of water in the yard seriously.
"Oh, the water in the jar is level. It must be that the pond in the young lady's garden is almost full. I will send someone to pick out the dirty water later."
"The water here is overflowing a lot... I just drained it not long ago..."
"Alright, alright, stop talking, and report it when the master comes back!"
Hearing the guard's words, Ji Qingyue was secretly surprised and vaguely realized what the structure outside the water inlet was.
He waved to the big buffalo in the water and whispered softly: "Cang Shuiqiu, come up quickly, these pears are all for you to eat!" As he said that, he took out a pear and put it into the water to lure the buffalo.
