Chapter 68: Escaping

  After the officer left, I and Hu Xingwei planned to find an opportunity to take out the tent.

  "Xiao Bin, have you thought of a solution?" Hu Xingwei asked impatiently as he sat on the ground.

  "Don't rush."

  I looked around, trying to see if I could find something to cut the rope with.

  I looked around for a while and felt disappointed. They must be afraid that we would run away, so they wouldn't put any sharp objects here at all.

  "I'm also helpless, every place can see useful tools." I said with a dejected tone.

  Hu Xingwei was also somewhat disappointed.

  The two of us just looked at each other like this, you looking at me and I looking at you.

  I'm clutching at the rope in my hand, it's almost strangling me to death.

  We were both thoroughly desperate, the scout's binding method was very complicated and the binding method was different.

  I and Hu Xinwei sat on the ground back to back with some helplessness, we were tied to a supporting pole in the center of the tent.

  "This rod is really annoying, if it weren't for the fact that it's our unit's property, I'd break it." Hu Xingkui complained to me as he sat on the ground.

  "Stick?"

  Hu Xinyin's words reminded me, and I involuntarily looked up at the top of my head. Although it was dark and I couldn't see the situation on the top of the rod, I knew that there was a connector at the top of the rod. As long as I could push the top up, my hands would be able to support me.

  "Hu San Dao, I've got a way!" I exclaimed excitedly.

  "Hu Xingwei immediately asked: 'Quickly, what method'."

  "Do it as I say now." I said.

  "Good."

  At this time, I stood up and let Hu Xingwei crouch down. Then I said: "Crouch well, I want to sit on your shoulders, then you stand up, at that time I will pry open the top section interface, and I will directly pull my hand out of the pole."

  "Alright, I'll do as you said."

  After Hu Xingwei finished his squat, I stood up.

  Then I sat on Hu Xinwei's shoulders with my back facing him, my buttocks against the back of his head.

  "Get up."

  As soon as I finished speaking, Hu Xinkuai started standing up.

  Then I started lifting my hands up.

  "I'm going, but it's not high enough."

  After lifting my hand up, I found that sitting on Hu Xingwei's shoulder was not high enough at all. I said to him.

  Just then, Hu Xingwei spat and whispered to me: "Find a way to step on my shoulder."

  "Good."

  I whispered down to Hu Xingwei: "Put your arm higher and let me step on it."

  After Hu Xingwei raised his arm too high, I put one foot on his arm without using force.

  "My arm is exhausted, I'm going to kick it."

  Hu Xingwei said a word of "good" after, I hurriedly stepped on it, he was also using all his strength to hold on. Just as I stepped on it, my other foot quickly lifted up and directly stepped on Hu Xingwei's shoulder, the other foot also followed and stepped on his shoulder.

  Luckily my hands were tied to the pole of the tent, otherwise I would have definitely lost balance and fallen to the ground.

  After standing firm, I had to lower my head so as not to hit the top of the tent.

  I lowered my head and started trying to put my hands up on the rack.

  It was a bit too high, so after a while, I started using my shoulder to push against it, trying to push it open.

  "How is it?" Hu Xingwei asked me.

  "Don't be in a hurry."

  I tried several times, each time just a little bit short of being able to pull my hand out.

  When I came up again, I gritted my teeth and raised my hands high.

  Finally, my hands were freed, but because I lost my balance, I fell straight down.

  "Hmmph."

  As I fell to the ground, I let out a muffled grunt. As I dropped, I told myself that I couldn't make any noise, or else the Blue Army guards outside the tent would discover me and I wouldn't be able to escape.

  After getting up, I walked towards Hu Xingwei.

  "Hurry up and bite it open with your teeth."

  Hu Xingwei didn't say much and immediately started trying to untie the rope on my hands with his teeth.

  Hu Xingwei made a great effort and finally bit open the rope.

  After my hands were untied, I immediately untied Hu Xinyin's rope.

  "How are we going out? There are still two sentries outside." Hu Xingwei asked me after the success.

  "I thought for a moment and replied, 'Wait, wait until the two blue soldiers outside the tent change shifts. Then we'll find a way to trick one of them into entering the tent. At that time, you can sneak up behind him and cover his mouth, while I take care of him.'"

  "Alright, done." Hu Xingwei nodded and said.

  After discussing it over, Hu Xingwei and I crouched cautiously at the edge of the tent, listening carefully to the movements outside, because we knew that when the guards changed shifts, there would definitely be some noise.

  10 minutes have passed...

  Another 10 minutes have passed...

  We wait patiently...

  At last, we heard the sound.

  Outside was changing shifts, because we heard the sound of pulling the bolt, which was during gun inspection.

  After they switched shifts, I picked up the rope and sat back on the pole. I wrapped the rope around me but didn't tie it, and Hu Xingwei leaned against my back, with our backs to each other.

  After everything was ready, I shouted loudly outside the tent: "Monitor, monitor, I want to go to the toilet."

  One minute passed and there was no movement outside, I shouted again: "I want to go to the toilet."

  Still no movement, just as I was about to shout for the third time, the tent door curtain was pulled open.

  "Don't even think about playing any tricks."

  A sentry who had just come in shouted at us impatiently.
