Chapter 249 Escape
Zhan Mengyan ate normally, but Zhan Yu still did not relax his supervision over her, as if he was afraid that she would escape at any time.
Time is like running water, slipping away quietly without being noticed. In a blink of an eye, a month has passed. For Zhan Mengyan, this month seems like several years and centuries. She is anxious. Every day, every hour, every minute, every second slips away like sand. Time becomes cruel and vicious. She waits anxiously, her heart burning like a flame. She thinks anxiously about the possibilities of the future. Her thoughts are like flying catkins, elusive. Waiting is like a lonely journey. Although it is a bit bitter, she deeply believes that Zhang Xincheng will be able to fulfill his promise: to help her get rid of the shackles and go to the county town to attend high school smoothly. So every time she thinks of going to high school, her heart becomes gentle. She has to pretend nothing has happened in front of her family.
One morning, there was still silence under the dark sky and the dawn had not yet broken. Only the faint moonlight and stars decorated this time. The quiet countryside and the sleeping earth accompanied the afterglow of the night. The cry of a wild cat sounded three times in front of Zhan Mengyan's window.
Zhan Mengyan heard the call of wild cats, she got up on tiptoe, she saw that her family members were all sleeping soundly. She took her schoolbag and high school entrance examination report card, and put a note under the kettle, which she had secretly written last night: Dad, Mom, I'm leaving, I'm going to the county town to attend high school, please don't look for me, I beg Dad, Mom to give me a chance, I won't ask for a penny from my family, I can support myself to go to high school. Do you know how I feel when I leave home? Just like the regret of the sky leaving the white clouds, the attachment of the leaves leaving the branches, when I leave home, I just want to say to my family, I miss you, I love you...
Zhan Mengyan longs to return to school: hastily written
Also: I wish my father and mother good health and happiness for the whole family. Please don’t be angry with me for leaving without saying goodbye. I hope you can forgive me!
Zhan Mengyan came to the back door of the kitchen and found that the door was still locked from the outside. Zhang Xincheng was digging with a shovel outside the door, and a hole had appeared under the door.
"Mengyan, try and see if you can crawl out from the hole under the door?" Zhang Xincheng asked nervously in a low voice through the crack in the door.
Zhan Mengyan lay down and tried, her head came out, but her shoulder was stuck in the door, so she had to retreat. Zhang Xincheng sped up and continued digging.
Zhan Mengyan pulled the bolt out from the inside. She remembered that her father would take down the door panel and use it as a bed board when he took a nap. She also tried hard to remove the door panel from the door axis, but her arm strength was not strong enough and she failed to remove the door panel after several attempts.
"Zhan Mengyan, don't remove the door panel. Be careful not to make any noise. If you wake up your family, none of us will be able to leave. Try again and see if you can crawl out through the hole under the door."
Zhan Mengyan lay down again and tried, but still couldn't climb out. She dug in the house with her hands. The hole kept getting bigger as they dug.
"What's that sound, rustling?" Zhan Yu said in a delirious voice.
"The damn rats are out again. Let's put some rat poison tomorrow." Yunqing turned over and answered, then fell into a deep sleep again.
Zhan Mengyan and Zhang Xincheng stopped digging out of fright. They were so nervous that their whole bodies were tense, their eyes flickered, their lips were tightly closed, and they tried their best to stay calm, not daring to breathe. It seemed that they could only hear each other's rapid heartbeats, and they were so nervous that they didn't know what to do.
After a while, Zhan Mengyan and Zhang Xincheng heard Zhan Yu's snoring, and they dared to breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhang Xincheng used sign language to ask Zhan Mengyan to try again and climb out of the hole.
Zhan Mengyan lay down again and crawled out of the hole, but her back was stuck in the door panel.
"Zhang Xincheng, give me a hand." Zhan Mengyan said, stretching out her hand.
Zhang Xincheng used all his strength to pull Zhan Mengyan hard.
"Mengyan, I can't pull it anymore. You go back and let's dig some more to expand the hole." Zhang Xincheng said in a low voice.
"Zhang Xincheng, try harder and use all the strength you used to help your father forge iron." Zhan Mengyan urged.
"I'm afraid I'll use too much force and hurt you." Zhang Xincheng said worriedly.
"Zhang Xincheng, please pull me out quickly. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid my father and mother will wake up. I'm not afraid of getting hurt." Zhan Mengyan urged anxiously in a low voice.
Zhang Xincheng exerted force again and Zhan Mengyan was slowly pulled out.
The two had no time to rejoice.
Zhan Mengyan quickly sat on the bicycle beam (the back seat was broken), and Zhang Xincheng jumped on the bicycle. The two felt an indescribable sense of relief and release. Zhan Linyan felt that her body and mind were liberated. She greedily breathed in the fresh air and enjoyed the feeling of freedom...
