Congratulations on opening the coffin

Shen Ruo looked at the only vent in the cell, it was already dark outside.

Originally, she planned to wait until late at night before going out to investigate, but now she couldn't stand the crowded scene.

"Ah, what are you doing?"

When she wasted some time and squeezed in front of the cell door, Xiaoyan who was next to her saw her strange movements and came over curiously.

Shen Ruo took a thin wire and poked at the hole in the door lock, but she didn't know if it was rust or something, she tried for a long time but failed.

A child from another village nearby also noticed her actions, and mocked her with a thick accent: "Don't be stupid, do you think you can escape like this?"

Shen Ruo was still carefully picking the lock, but Xiaoyan defended her indignantly: "Erya must have her reasons for doing this. If the lock is opened then, don't run with us."

"Tch, she can pick the lock like this, I'll eat the end of the lock."

"Crack-"

As soon as the child's yelling was finished, Shen Ruo pried the lock open. She took the opened lock and glanced at the arrogant kid with a very flat look. Xiaoyan said triumphantly: "Then you eat it!" , didn’t you say you want to eat?”

The kid gritted his teeth, and suddenly shouted outside: "Master Jailer, someone is going to escape from prison, come and arrest him!"

Xiaoyan didn't expect this guy to be so shameless, and immediately became very angry: "You bastard, let's see how I deal with you!"

Seeing that Xiaoyan is just a girl, the child curled his lips in disdain: "Come on, who is afraid of whom!"

At this time, the children of Li Family Village gathered together and glared at the little devil, forming an oppressive deterrent force: "Then let's go together!"

The kid was so frightened that his legs went limp, he fell to the ground, and said tremblingly, "You guys are bullying the few, it's not fair!"

When he turned his eyes for help to his friends in the same village, those people took a few steps back one after another, looking at the sky and the earth, but they didn't look at him.

Just when the kid thought he was going to die, and was about to beg for mercy with his head in his arms, a jailer came in with a roasted chicken leg in his hand, and while chewing, he impatiently beat the wooden stake next to him with a whip: " What are you doing? Noisy! Believe it or not, grandpa will show you some color!"

The child immediately ran to the fence of the cell, as if seeing a life-saving Bodhisattva, and said excitedly: "Grandpa Jailer, these people want to pick the lock and escape from the prison, it is that tall and thin girl, arrest her quickly, and beat her ten times." A few whips to show her some color."

"Pick the lock? Isn't this lock still in good condition?" The jailer turned over the chain hanging on the prison door, and whipped the whip at the complaining child with his backhand. The tail of the whip hit the child's face, leaving behind There was a deep and long bloodstain, which made him roll back and forth on the ground screaming in pain.

"Stinky boy, it's too noisy, shut up!"

Just as the jailer raised the whip in his hand again, suddenly a hand stretched out from behind the wooden fence, grabbed the whip, wrapped it around the jailer's neck, pulled it back hard, hit the wooden post, and borrowed strength, The jailer didn't even have a chance to make a sound, so he was whipped and passed out.

"Kill someone?"

The children in the cell, who had never seen this scene before, screamed in fright.

Shen Ruo threw away the whip in his hand, found a dozen key rings from the unconscious jailer, and then calmly said to the screaming children, "Not dead, just passed out."

Seeing the key in her hand, one of the children excitedly said, "Then what are you waiting for, let's get out of here!"

"Not us, just me."

Shen Ruo quickly unlocked the prison door, and before the children could react, she stepped out through the half-open door and locked the lock again.

"You are too disrespectful, are you the only one running away?"

"Don't worry, I'll be back."

She didn't intend to explain further, so she stepped over the jailer's body and quickly left from the corridor, but when she walked halfway, she took two steps back. In the cell on her left, there were also many people locked up, but everyone Trying to squeeze together because they were forced to lock up with a madman.

And this lunatic was jumping up and down, screaming "meow" from time to time, and if someone approached her, she would wave her paws out in response, scratching wildly.

That's right, this person was Shen Bingxin who was taken away by Lin Lang back then.

Shen Ruo didn't expect to see her here again after such a long time, was she abandoned by Lin Lang?Or was it deliberately captured?
But these questions are not what she should think about now, Shen Ruo only took a second look, then withdrew her gaze, and left decisively again.

At this time, the night had just begun, and there were still passers-by in twos and threes on the street. She found one person, asked the way, and then rushed towards her destination.

According to the information provided by Uncle Li, it was the tall and wealthy family who first proposed the living sacrifice. His family was in the fabric business, and the workmanship was very exquisite. It was very popular with some officials' wives, so it also climbed up to some local high-ranking officials. thigh.

The entire Hanshui Town, even the county magistrate, has to listen to the Gao family's orders. It can be said that the Gao family is the local emperor of Hanshui Town.

Shen Ruo walked around a few streets and easily found the most luxurious mansion in the town.

She climbed up the high wall, stepped on the eaves carefully, and saw that in the courtyard, a group of maids and servants were holding dishes and walking towards a living room. She followed along and uncovered a tile, and the lights below were brightly lit. , richly decorated, after the delicious food was placed on the waiting table, all the servants were kicked out of the room, leaving only two people at the table.

A man with a fat head and big ears, dressed in gorgeous clothes, all ten fingers are covered with all kinds of gold rings, if he is walking on the road, he will look like a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, shouting to come and grab me, this man is not Unexpectedly, it was the master of the Gao family.

But the other person made Shen Ruo's complexion slightly calm.

This person is thin and thin, wearing a gray Taoist robe with a Yin-Yang Tai Chi picture printed on the back, and he remains unmoved by Master Gao's drinking to please him.

"Master Daoist, do you think there should be no problem with this live sacrifice? If it fails again, I won't be able to explain it to the county magistrate."

That person seemed to be supercilious and ignored anyone: "You just need to do as I tell you. Whether it succeeds or not, I will tell you when the time comes."

"Yes, thanks to Taoist Priest for saving the villain's life, I will do whatever you need. You come to my house today, but what are your orders?"

"I watched the sky last night, and suddenly found that something might go wrong in tomorrow's ceremony. I'm here to tell you today, and let the county magistrate take precautions, so that nothing goes wrong."

Master Gao nodded quickly: "Just don't worry, Taoist priest, as for those poor people, what kind of waves can they make?"
