Chapter 190 Over the Wall

The sky outside the house is full of stars, and the nights in the desert are generally the same. So much so that many years after I came to the Central Plains, if I see a cloudy dome when I look up at the sky at night, I will be disappointed and think of the night in the desert for no reason. The starry sky with a slight smell of sand is mixed with some particles that can be inhaled.

That night was very different. There was a comet in the northern sky. It happened that I saw it when I just went out. Comets are often mentioned in Xuecheng. Their appearance has a certain period, some decades, hundreds or even thousands of years. In Xuecheng, both bachelors and apprentices are keen to observe and record such stars. If someone can observe the same comet twice in a row, they can be seen by their predecessors. In the record, if you find the corresponding information, you can name this star.

I looked at it carefully in the yard. As recorded in the textbook, the star did not move on the northern sky, as if it had been hanging there since ancient times. However, I know very well that yesterday the northern sky still belonged to another star. Its color is silver-gray, which actually has some metallic luster compared with the stars around it, which makes it more like a polished shiny nail nailed horizontally nailed to the sky. Let the night sky of the desert, which is usually very warm, become a little sharp as a sword.

This did not relax me. On the contrary, the appearance of the comet made my heart that needed to be softened harder, so after observing for a moment and remembering the time and direction of its appearance in detail in my mind, I lowered my head. Compared with the stars in the sky, what I need more is to grasp the road under my feet. I firmly believe that it is right to stay in the school city and continue to study.

But I can't continue to stay in the yard. Once the girl finishes eating and wants to push the car out, she will see me. Then what will she think? She thought that I was actually a little regretful about staying here. In fact, she was waiting for her to send me an invitation to go to the Central Plains again. It will definitely be like this. After all, I was a swinging person in her mind. I said I would not eat, but I ended up eating so many grapes.

I hated the girl and myself for no reason and wanted to leave the backyard. It was not until then that I found that there was no door in the backyard. The only way to get in and out of the yard is the room in front of me, and I know that the guy is in that room. He may have fallen asleep, and I will definitely wake him up when I go out of there. What if he doesn't sleep? With the man's talkative, he is bound to ask, "Master apprentice, where are you going so late? Do you want me to prepare something for you?" If I can't keep it, I will still ask why I went out.

Obviously, I don't want to answer these questions and can't answer them. That kind of noisy question is simply a second humiliation to me. No, you can't go out from the front, so... climb over the wall.

I looked around the wall in the backyard, which was much higher than me. Even if I stretched my hand up and sprinted and jumped, I couldn't reach the wall. The surface of the wall is extremely smooth, and there is no place to pedal. I don't want to try to sprint and jump a few more times, because there are not many exercises on weekdays, and my physical condition is not excellent. In this case, it is impossible to make a light leap like some people in my classmate's city, hang their arms around the wall and then turn out. Besides, only the best guards in the city can do this.

Since I can't get out by myself, let's see if there is anything in the yard that can help me get out. I looked around again. Today's moon is not bright. Fortunately, relying on the starlight, I can also see something vaguely. But after careful inspection, I found that there was nothing like a wooden box in the yard, which allowed me to step on it and fulfill my luxury of climbing over the wall.

Do I have to sleep next door? Then leave tomorrow morning? No, no, in that case, I will be mocked by the girl again. I don't want to do that. In fact, the most convenient thing is to push out the man's car carrying food from the girl's room. As long as I step on it, I can easily grab the wall with my hand... But I won't enter the room again. I don't want to see the girl's mocking eyes and her miserable crying.

At this moment, I found a place in the yard that was shining. What's going on? Looking for items to escape from the yard, I walked over, hoping to get something. When I got close, I found that it turned out to be a wooden basin, with more than half a basin of water and a large face towel for wiping the face. This scarf is surprisingly large. In my opinion, it can be used as a bath towel. Of course, the water in the school city is very expensive, and bathing is too wasteful. Therefore, even if I am an apprentice, I can only take a bath every three years. It is said that a bachelor can take a bath once a year, so when I don't feel a little itchy, I will encourage myself, study hard, and wait to become a bachelor.

After a brief doubt, I understood the intention of the wooden basin, which is to wash our hands after meals or wipe our faces tomorrow morning. The water in the desert is too expensive, so it is impossible to provide two. And there is only one wooden basin, which also makes it clear that the buddy is going to let me and the girl use the same basin. Of course, this is the most normal thing. Although the temperature in the desert is very low at night, and there will be no evaporation loss of water here, it is really heartbreaking not to put a lid on the wooden basin. At the very least, such a thing can't happen in Xincheng.

But if there is a lid, the water in the basin will not reflect starlight. How could I find it? Maybe this wooden basin is here to help me.

I looked at the wooden basin. The basin is not very deep. Even if I pour out all the water and put it on tiptoe under the wall, it is not enough for me to climb out. What's more... I can't trample on the water like that. I can't do this kind of violent thing. After all, there are many nights when I fall asleep in thirst, and sometimes I even don't pee once a day. Sometimes I really want to pee once, but the charred urine always appears only a little when I look forward to it. Thinking about those days, I couldn't help making such a hopeless attempt.

However, there is also a face towel, um, a face towel. My eyes fell on the towel. It seemed that something deep in my mind had been touched, but I couldn't remember it all of a sudden. What I could be sure was that this must be an idea that could make me escape from the hospital.

It doesn't matter. I can think slowly. As long as I think about what the face towel is for and how to use it, it should evoke memories. Of course, the face towel is used to wipe the face. Although it can be wiped dry, if you want to wipe it clean, you must be covered with water, and it is best to soak the face towel with water. Such a face towel will become much heavier than before...

There was a smile on my face because I already knew how to escape from the yard. The only drawback of this plan is that it needs to waste some water. But it won't waste much. Anyway, this water originally wiped our faces.

If you think about it, you will implement it immediately. I don't want to stay here for a moment. I pressed the whole face towel into the wooden basin and let the water completely immerse it. My hands are also soaked in water, and the cold touch brought by the water makes me very comfortable and even intoxicated.

After the face towel was completely soaked with water, I lifted the face towel and gently twisted the water on it. I didn't want to waste too much. Of course, you can't completely dry it, which will lose the effect I want. When the scarf was not dripping, I held it in my hand and walked to the nearest wall, where there should be a street outside.

I walked to the wall and pinched the scarf into a long strip, as if it were a rope. Open the side that is not clenched in your hand as much as possible, and then swang it hard with your hand and put the scarf on the wall. The sound is louder than I thought, which makes me a little shocked. But I didn't have time to hesitate, because the opportunity was fleeting. At the moment when the scarf hit the wall, I pulled my hand hard and my whole body rose to the ground. At the same time, I grabbed the wall with the other hand and pulled my body completely to the wall.

(It's not nonsense, but the tension of water. Book lovers who like to do experiments can try it by themselves. General towels can be soaked in water and patted on objects that are not very luminous on the surface. There will be a short solid connection, enough to jump up.)

The lower wall still uses the same method, just turning the steps upside down. First, grab the wall with one hand, then hit the face towel hard on the wall, and then let go. Use the length of the face towel and the short sense of lifting to ease the impulse of landing. After all this, I have stood outside the wall in the backyard of the inn.

This is indeed a street, but at this time, there are no pedestrians walking on the street. Looking at the face towel in my hand, I felt that the water on it was too regrettable, so I wiped my face and hands very carefully. I felt that it was not enough, and then wiped my neck. It was not until there seemed to be no moisture on the face towel.

Of course, I can't bear to throw away the face towel. It's a good piece of cloth. So I put the scarf around my waist and thought that after a while, the dripping water in the yard and the traces of the wall scarf would dry. No one would know how I left. The girl would be puzzled.

I am an apprentice in the desert. There are many mysteries that you will never understand. I thought about it like this and wandered along the street and walked north.
