Chapter 244 Downhill Signal
Chapter 244 Downhill Signal
The boss glanced at the wine glass, picked it up, clinked glasses with Zhuang Nanrong, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Today's wine tastes delicious!"
Zhuang Nanrong poured another glass and sneered.
"This is the wine we usually drink. The taste hasn't changed. I think it's because the boss is in a good mood that the wine tastes better!"
The big boss laughed a few times after realizing it belatedly.
"My little darling, are you jealous again? But you're even more charming when you're jealous. I like it!"
"The boss is bullying me. He's so mean. I'll make you drink three cups!"
"Okay, okay, I'm willing to be punished!"
The boss picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, drinking three glasses in a row.
He pointed the glass towards Zhuang Nanrong, indicating that he should drink all the wine.
"Are you satisfied now?"
"That's pretty much it!"
Zhuang Nanrong started to pick up food for the boss again.
"Come on, let's eat something too!"
"Eat my beauty too!"
The two of them passed food to each other and fed each other.
Looking at the loving and sweet scene of the two people who are so inseparable, people who don’t know them would really think that they are a match made in heaven.
But in Zhuang Nanrong's heart, it was painful and extremely tormenting.
She had never loved the boss, but she had to compromise and sacrifice her looks just to stay alive and to find an opportunity for revenge.
They even disguise themselves as seductive prostitutes to win the favor of men.
She had thought about committing suicide many times, but when she thought of her husband who had died tragically at the hands of bandits and so many innocent people, she gritted her teeth and held on.
Her intuition told her that the day she longed for was approaching and she would finally make it.
After calming herself down, she continued to have dinner with the boss with a smile on her face.
The two of them ate and chatted, as if they had endless things to say.
After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, the boss was finally successfully drunk by Zhuang Nanrong.
Looking at the boss lying unconscious on the table, a hint of pride crossed Zhuang Nanrong's lips.
She gently nudged the boss and said, "Boss, why did you fall asleep? We haven't finished drinking yet!"
No matter how she tried to wake up the boss, he showed no sign of waking up, and she was completely relieved.
If she hadn't taken the hangover medicine in advance, she would never have been able to get the boss drunk.
It was already the middle of the night, the time when people are most sleepy.
She quietly left the room and went outside. After making sure that the person on duty was asleep, she sneaked into the woodshed, lit a fire, and returned to the room.
When the fire started, it was discovered by the bandits.
"It's water! It's water!"
Someone shouted loudly, and the sleeping bandits were awakened. Realizing that the situation was not good, they immediately stood up and joined in putting out the fire.
Flames were blazing outside, but Zhuang Nanrong remained as steady as a rock in the room.
Looking at the boss who was fast asleep on the table, she wished the fire outside would burn directly here and burn the boss to death.
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
"Boss, madam, are you in there?"
The sudden noise made the boss notice something.
To avoid being exposed, Zhuang Nanrong pretended to be woken up and said impatiently, "Who is it? Disturbing me and the boss while we're drinking!"
The person outside the door continued, "Madam, there's a fire outside. Are you and the boss okay?"
"Fire? We're fine!"
When the boss heard such sensitive words, he suddenly became more sober and raised his head in a daze.
His eyes were blurry, his cheeks were flushed, and his body kept shaking.
"How...how did the water burst?"
"We don't know either! Everyone is putting out the fire. I just want to make sure the boss and his wife are safe, so I can rest assured. I'm going to put out the fire!"
The bandits outside the door left and the boss woke up.
But because I drank too much, I had a terrible headache.
He raised his hand to his forehead and looked at Zhuang Nanrong, who was also drunk, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Zhuang Nanrong stood up and walked to the boss with three unsteady steps, pretending to be very scared.
The boss saw that Zhuang Nanrong was indeed drunk, and had no suspicion that the fire was related to Zhuang Nanrong.
Zhuang Nanrong hid in the boss's arms, hoping that Su Xiaoxiao and the others could escape down the mountain safely.
In the prison, when Xiao Ran and Yang Qi were changing shifts on night duty, they heard someone outside shouting something like "fire!"
Is this the signal given by Zhuang Nanrong?
The two of them hurriedly woke up Su Xiaoxiao and Tang Ze.
Su Xiaoxiao also felt that this was an opportunity to escape.
Several people came to the cell door and made sure that there were no bandits guarding it. Su Xiaoxiao grabbed the cell door and with a little force, the cell door was removed.
The four of them moved quickly out of the prison.
Several bandits guarding the prison also went to put out the fire, and they left the prison unhindered.
Based on the information on the map, they found the way down the mountain and went down without looking back.
When we got to the foot of the mountain, it was already daybreak.
Several people were exhausted and out of breath. After a short rest, they continued on their way.
They were afraid that after the bandits put out the fire, they would discover that they had escaped and come down the mountain to chase them.
When I got to the official road, there was no one there.
Several people walked along the official road towards Changming County, hoping to encounter a carriage on the way and get a ride.
After walking for nearly half an hour, I saw a carriage coming from behind.
The four of them hurriedly stood in the middle of the official road and waved their hands to stop them.
When the driver saw someone in the middle of the road, he initially thought it was a bandit, and his heart instantly rose to his throat.
There has been some unrest on this road lately. Could it be that he really encountered bandits?
But when he got closer, he found that these people were not bandits, but looked more like rich kids who had fallen on hard times. Only then did he feel relieved and pulled the reins and stopped.
Seeing the carriage stop, Xiao Ran and his companions quickly surrounded it.
The driver was a man of about forty years old. Xiao Ran and Yang Qi stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Excuse me, uncle, are you going to Changming County?"
The driver was shocked when he saw Xiao Ran's face clearly.
Why does this young man look so much like an old friend of mine?
Seeing the driver staring at him blankly without answering, Xiao Ran spoke again with a hint of doubt.
"Uncle? Are you okay?"
The driver finally came to his senses.
"Exactly!"
He looked at Xiao Ran carefully again.
picture!
It’s so similar!
Yang Qi bowed again and said, "To be honest, uncle, we were kidnapped by bandits and finally escaped. I beg you to give us a ride. We will reward you handsomely when we return to Changming County!"
The driver looked at Su Xiaoxiao beside him, then at the weak Tang Ze. He felt that they were not lying, and since they were old friends, he decided to help them.
"In that case, get in the car!"
Several people were extremely excited.
"Thank you, uncle!"
After getting on the carriage, everyone finally let go of their worries.
Xiao Ran said: "We can't just appear in front of the public like this, it will alert the enemy!"
