Chapter 61: Burnt Biscuit 2

  "It's okay, the food for these few days is not bad, otherwise staying here would be a real suffering!!"

  "They must be afraid that we will cause trouble. Recently it's a special period, nobody wants to stir up trouble, otherwise who can afford it!"

  "Me too!! If it weren't for this special time, I wouldn't be here either. Now I'm still in the soft jade warm fragrance of Yihongyuan, mentioning that..."

  Xiaoyao felt it was unnecessary to continue listening, so he closed his eyes and focused on cultivating his mind. The best approach here was to practice mental discipline, but not too deeply, or else one wouldn't even know how they died. This place often had unexpected occurrences.

  It's already at this point, and Xiao Yao knows that he will have to spend the night here. He believes that Gu Xing probably hasn't received the message yet, after all, Gu Xing is just a passerby here and isn't easy to find. As for the yamen officials, they won't be too concerned about this matter.

  "It's strange, why hasn't Xiao Yao returned so late?"

  The big sister was drinking wine in the courtyard while waiting for Xiao Yao's return, this wasn't her intentionally waiting for Xiao Yao, it just so happened that way.

  At this time, several girls also seemed to be in the courtyard. The third lady of Nangong was gnawing on a book, while Nangong Suxin was secretly drinking the eldest sister's wine, which made the eldest sister very dissatisfied.

  As for Lonely Star, she seemed to be staring blankly at the stars in the sky...

  "After hearing what Big Sister said, Gu Xing replied: 'He must have something on, perhaps he won't be back tonight, he often does this.'"

  "But before it was because he knew nothing would happen, now he's not even at home, how can he not come back!" The young lady frowned.

  "I don't have anything for him to do either, he should have something to attend to!" Lonely Star replied.

  "Just spoil him like that, at least if something happens, you should inform us!" The young lady said innocently.

  "It's hard to say..." said Nan Gong San Niangzi softly.

  "What's wrong with saying it?" The big sister was somewhat puzzled.

  "Perhaps he has informed us, it's just that we weren't around!" said Third Miss.

  The older sister thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered something, frowning as she said: "That's right, maybe they really have already been notified, we're not... Today is your day to take the imperial exam, and we've all come to support you, even Seventh Sister was dragged along!!"

  "Hmm, we're all gone, maybe they've already been notified, go ask the guards at the entrance and you'll know!" said Nangong Suzi.

  The young lady thought for a moment, then ran quickly to find the guard at the door. Soon she came back and said out the news she had inquired about under the expectation of South Palace Su Xin and others.

  "The shift at the entrance has changed, don't know about the daytime news..."

  “……”

  "Never mind, there shouldn't be any problem. This kid is very adaptable and can survive in any environment!! The big sister also didn't mind anymore, thinking of his carefree and resourceful nature, she thought it was no big deal."

  Indeed, Xiao Yao can adapt anywhere, he has already adapted to the prison cell now. If it weren't for being too hungry before, he would have adapted even earlier.

  At night, while Xiang Yang was meditating, an object collided with his body. Without opening his eyes, he knew what it was.

  "Munch munch..."

  The little thing jumped and shouted on Xiao Yao's body, as if telling Xiao Yao, I'm back, I'm back!!

  Chi Chi may not always be by Xiang Yao's side, but it seems like she never gets lost. When she wants to find Xiang Yao, she can definitely find him; otherwise, she wouldn't be here now and would be with Gu Xing and the others instead.

  "Snack goods, have you eaten enough outside, haven't you?" Xiangyang saw Chi Chi's head shaking, of course, it can also be said that her whole body was shaking.

  "If there isn't any, then go find something to eat elsewhere, don't stay here, there's nothing here!"

  "Munch munch..."

  "What do you mean? Don't want to run today, tired? You're kidding me, you little foodie, having enough to eat and still complaining of being tired. I'm so hungry now, I feel like cooking you!" Xīaoyáo said in a bad temper.

  "Eat... eat..." Xiaoyao jumped up and down on Xiao Yao's body, looking a bit uncomfortable, but showing no intention of leaving him at all.

  "Alright, you little foodie, go to sleep first. Tomorrow, your brother will take you out to eat something delicious and spicy." Xiang said.

  Chi Chi immediately shook her head, seemingly having an opinion about this.

  "Right, you don't like spicy things, but it seems like you won't let them go either, and finish everything off!" Xiao Yao patted Eat Eat, no mistake, didn't like, but doesn't mean won't eat.

  Chi Chi always puts the spicy things aside every time, eats other things first, and then continues to eat the spicy ones. The expression is also very interesting, as if it's very wronged, but if you take away the spicy things, it becomes unhappy.

  "Munch munch..."

  Chī chī tiào dào xiāo yáo de jiān bǎng shàng, liǎn cè zhe xiāo yáo de liǎn, gé wài de qīn rè...

  Translation:

  Eating and jumping onto Xiao Yao's shoulder, rubbing her face against Xiao Yao's face, unusually intimate...

  "You little foodie, haven't you done something wrong? Never mind, let's just sleep first, or else we won't have the energy to go shopping tomorrow!" Xiangyang didn't care about anything else, eating and doing wrong things, he wouldn't know for a while, and he was also used to it.

  "Munch munch..."

  Chi Chi jumped onto Xiao Yao's leg again. Now Xiao Yao is sitting cross-legged, this is the most comfortable place. Chi Chi understands this and knows to enjoy it.

  Not long after, Xiao Yao heard some news that someone had started to escape from the prison, although it wasn't in his cell, he could sense it.

  The escaped prisoner was just a few cells away from Xiao Yao, and the noise would naturally be transmitted to Xiao Yao's side. The prison had already started to make a commotion, and at this time, someone even discovered that their own cell could be walked through.

  Because one of the wooden pillars in the middle suddenly broke for some reason, it just happened to be able to accommodate a person passing through!!

  And this phenomenon just happens to be from the carefree prison to that escapable prison, is it a coincidence or did heaven arrange for him to go?

  "Shh, don't make a sound, those who want to leave, leave quickly, and don't make a sound!! Those who don't want to leave also shouldn't make a sound!!! Otherwise, no one will be able to leave!!"

  Because the noise was a bit loud, someone quietly reminded them, otherwise they would startle the prison guards!!

  "Hey kid, aren't you leaving?"

  Looking at Xiao Yao meditating, someone nearby reminded him.

  "I'm not going anywhere, I was only locked up for a day, no need to go!!" Xiao Yao replied with his eyes still closed.

  "It's also true, I'll be fine in a few more days, there's no point in escaping from this prison!!" The man nodded.

  For people like them, escaping from prison would be too stupid now, and hardly anyone will do it unless there's something urgent.

  This time in the prison, there were too many unimportant people, so only less than half of them escaped. Of course, this less-than-half was still far more than usual, because the base number was relatively large.

  But soon after, it started outside. Obviously, the prison guards had discovered that someone had escaped, and the whole world began to make a racket.

  At the same time, a group of prison guards appeared in the cell to inspect the situation and find out where the problem was. At the same time, they also wanted to check on the escaped prisoners.

  It's no wonder that in the capital, the efficiency of the prison guards and catchers is very fast, and they have already started to pursue and search. A large number of catchers also appeared nearby quickly, and there are patrolling troops in the city, soon most of the escaped prisoners were caught back, except for a few who could run away.

  For these movements, Xiao Yao didn't go to reason with them. He continued to meditate until someone speculated about the escape methods of those escaped prisoners. His heart was a little sweaty because this matter was related to him, or rather, it was related to his snack goods.

  "How could there be such a big hole in prison?!"

  The prison guards found a big hole in the cell where the prisoner had escaped from and were puzzled by it.

  "The prison cells are made of the strongest stone, with a thickness of up to two feet. How is it possible to break through such a large hole? If it was due to years of neglect, we should have discovered it earlier! Just a few days ago, we conducted an inspection of the prison cells and there was no such situation!! What's going on here?"

  "Ask those who caught the escaped person and they'll know! With such a big hole, it's impossible to dig in just a short while. They must have had an agreement."

  "Ah, right away!!"

  After the prison guards interrogated and coerced the people in this cell, they got a very strange result, that is, no one in this cell knew what was going on.

  According to the confession of the person in the cell...

  "We also don't know how it happened, but at night when someone leaned against the wall, they found that the wall was hollow! This must be the arrangement of heaven, wanting us to go out, so we went out!"

  "Prison guard, we really haven't done anything, I swear to heaven, that wall changed on its own, it absolutely wasn't me who did it!!"

  "It really wasn't me, I didn't see anyone else doing it either!!"

  “……”

  This result tells everyone that this incident seems to be a supernatural event, and at the same time, it's not the right time to investigate this matter. Catching the escaped convict is more important. In the past, letting one or two escape wasn't a big deal, but now it's a special period, we can't let people run away.

  As for the reason, they couldn't figure it out and didn't continue to investigate. It's believed that in the entire prison, only one person knows the reason, and that is Xiao Yao.

  What is the reason?

  It all started with the food on the carefree leg. The food was not originally by the side of the carefree, so how did it appear beside him? In other places, it would be easy to explain, but this is a tightly sealed prison cell. To exaggerate, even a fly can't fly in.

  Although it's not big, it's as large as a baseball, how did it get into this prison cell!

  Eat!

  Chi Chi is eating away the walls of the prison cell directly and then "going through the wall" to enter!!

  Why isn't this prison cell carefree? It's simple. The food comes in a straight line, and that prison cell just happens to be within the range of that straight line!
