Jade Without Fragrance

   Chapter 138 Self Help

   The short man handed the kettle to Lin Hao's lips: "Just drink it like this, forget it if you don't like it."

  Lin Hao lowered his eyes and stared at the mouth of the kettle, which was obviously the kettle the man had used.

   Thinking of using this pot to drink water, her stomach was churning for a while, but she still nodded: "I drink."

  I don’t know where this cave is. If it’s hidden enough, it’s normal for people who search for it to be unable to find it for a few days. She has to take her sister to escape, and she must maintain plenty of physical strength.

  Fortunately, the man did not put the mouth of the pot into Lin Hao's mouth, but poured the water at an angle.

   Lin Hao picked it up with his mouth, some drank into it, and more flowed onto his neck and clothes.

   This kind of embarrassment caused the man's eyes to change slightly.

  Lin Hao turned his head sideways: "I'm full, thank you."

  The man picked up the cloth ball to cover her mouth again, Lin Hao hurriedly begged: "Please don't cover my mouth, I find it hard to breathe, I promise not to shout."

The    man hesitantly glanced at his companion.

  The burly man's tone was cold: "No."

   The short man no longer hesitated, and neatly blocked Lin Hao's mouth.

   Lin Chan woke up at this time.

   Unlike Lin Hao who had been pretending to be in a coma, Lin Chan really passed out. When she woke up, her first reaction was to look for her sister. Seeing that Lin Hao was gagged and bound, she couldn't help making an anxious whimper.

   "This one is also awake." The short man was obviously more interested in Lin Chan than Lin, not because of some crooked thoughts, but because of curiosity.

   "Drinking water?" he asked the same thing.

   Lin Chan focused most of her attention on Lin Hao. Seeing her nodding indiscernibly, she nodded immediately.

After the    man warned him, he took off the cloth stuffed around Lin Chan's mouth and handed the water bottle over.

  Lin Chan's face changed immediately: "I...I'm not thirsty anymore..."

  Speaking of which, in such a short period of time, I am not thirsty.

  The man squeezed the kettle and smiled: "It's more sophisticated than your sister."

  Lin Chan subconsciously glanced at Lin Hao and changed her words: "Please, I'd better have a drink."

   Endured nausea and drank enough water, Lin Chan cautiously asked the two of them, "Are you asking for ransom? As long as you don't hurt me and my sister, my family will pay any amount of ransom."

   "Don't talk nonsense." The man blocked Lin Chan's mouth with a cloth ball, "Be honest."

   The two men returned to the position near the entrance of the cave and sat down to rest.

  The entrance of the cave is covered by more than half of the rocks, and there are hanging vines and weeds outside. Through the gaps in the vines, you can observe the outside situation at any time.

   Without a doubt, this is a great place to hide.

  Lin Chan looked at Lin Hao in despair, with tears in her eyes.

   She implicated her sister!

  Lin Hao blinked.

   Although the two sisters could not speak, they had a tacit understanding, and Lin Chan's desperate mood was appeased.

   Does the second sister have a way to escape?

   She couldn't think of how they could get away with this look, but she had no reason to choose to believe it.

   Time passed by, and the light at the entrance of the cave quietly shifted its direction.

  The unchanging scene outside the cave bored the two men, and the two girls who were tightly bound inside also reassured them.

   The short man sighed and said, "I'll squint for a while."

   You can't chat casually, let alone take a little advantage, or sleep to pass the time.

   After a while, snoring sounded from the hole.

   The burly man frowned and slapped him awake.

"What's wrong?"

   "Don't sleep, you're snoring."

   The short man almost jumped up, his voice was a little higher: "Impossible, I haven't fallen asleep yet!"

   "You snorted, the snoring may be heard."

   "I didn't fall asleep, why did I snore?" The short man was not convinced, turned his head and asked the two of them, "Did you hear me snoring?"

   Lin Hao and Lin Chan looked at each other and nodded.

   The short man was speechless.

  The burly man said, "I'll go to bed first, and you'll sleep at night."

   "What if I still snore at night?"

   This is to fool him to the end, right?

   "This is in the mountains. At night, those people will stop searching, and snoring will not matter."

   The short man had no choice but to nod his head: "That's alright, you go to sleep first."

   Not long after, the burly man fell asleep.

   Hearing the even breathing of his companion, the short man became even more sleepy, and soon nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

   After a while, the snoring sounded again in the cave.

  Lin Chan looked at Lin Hao.

  Lin Hao waited again, made sure the two men were asleep, turned around slowly, and touched Lin Chan's hand with the hand tied behind his back.

  Lin Chan didn't know what her sister was going to do, so she didn't show any expression on her face.

   She suddenly felt something pulling on the rope that bound her hands.

   Once, twice, three times…

  Lin Chan looked at Lin Hao in shock.

   It was obviously a hard object. The second sister was tied with her hands like her, how did she get it?

  Lin Hao motioned Lin Chan not to show his feet, and concentrated on cutting the rope with a hard object.

   It was a small piece of stone that she had hidden in the palm of her hand in advance.

   She stumbled while chasing her sister's kidnapper, and just pressed her right hand on this small piece of stone. At that time, she hid the small piece of stone in the palm of her hand without any hesitation.

  The soft palms were shattered by the hard stone flakes, and the pain was burning, but it was not worth mentioning compared to the chance of escape.

  Stone chips are not daggers after all. It is not easy to use them to break ropes. After Lin Hao sharpened them for a while, his hands became numb and his forehead was sweaty.

  Lin Chan looked distressed, but was unable to help.

  Finally, her hands suddenly loosened and the rope broke.

  Lin Chan was overjoyed, and soon his face returned to calm, and the hand behind his back began to untie the rope for Lin Hao.

  It is much easier to untie the rope with free hands than to grind it with a small piece of stone. It didn’t take long for Lin Hao’s hands to be free.

  Lin Chan did not continue.

  Sister obviously has more ideas than her, so she can't act rashly and lose the chance to get out of trouble.

  Lin looks good at the entrance of the cave.

  The two masked men were leaning against the stone wall and were still sleeping.

   Resolute flashed in her eyes.

   In order to get out of trouble, you have to pass through the hole, and there is almost no possibility that the two men will not wake up after passing through the hole.

When    chased them, she found that these two were very good, and she could not deal with them by force.

   This is also the reason why she fell into their hands without desperately resisting, only then could she be with her sister instead of being part of a search team looking for a needle in a haystack.

   Still have to wait for an opportunity, a chance for two men to separate.

  Lin Hao hid the fallen rope, and then replaced the rope tying her and Lin Chan's feet with slipknots. At the critical moment, with a gentle pull, the legs would be free.

   Next is a long wait.

  As the light changed, the cave became darker and darker. Finally, the burly man opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Sister Lin, and kicked the short man angrily: "Why are you sleeping!"

   The short man was kicked to wake up, a little embarrassed: "I don't know how I fell asleep..."

   He glanced inside, and his tone became more casual: "Anyway, they can't run away. That... I'll go out to make it easier."

   Jiushilu's new book "Treading the Branches" is here, friends of the book shortage can go and read it. Introduction: Qin Luan dreamed of his master. The master said, let her go down the mountain and go back to Beijing, save a person and give up a kiss.
