Lian Lian, who was wearing a nightgown, hid herself in the shade of a tree so that no one would notice her presence.
She looked at the room where the elders were preparing the medicine. Through the lights in the room, she could see that the elders had poured the medicine into a small jade bottle. The bottle was placed on the table.
After the elders had placed the medicine, they left the dispensing room and instructed the people in charge of the dispensing room to guard it carefully.
Qin Ye's gaze did not waver as she watched the elders leave the dispensing room. Taking advantage of the darkness, she quietly approached the room. The lights in the room were much dimmer than before.
Several elders had left. The guards had turned off several lights, leaving only a night light for themselves.
Qin Ye leaned against the window and looked inside. She could vaguely see the guards dozing off in their chairs.
She pushed the window with her fingers. The window was locked without any suspense.
She pulled a hair clip from her hair. Her hair clip was custom-made. It looked like a crystal rose hair clip. The Crystal Rose was just a shell. If the hair clip was opened, it would be a sharp knife.
She used the knife to cut the window screen on the window. The windows here were all made of bamboo and because the room was too humid, the people here did not like to install glass windows. They only put a layer of screen on the window.
This way, it could both ventilate and prevent mosquitoes from entering.
The sharp knife immediately cut the window screen. The knife was so sharp that it was silent as if the window screen had not been damaged at all.
Lian Lian looked at the triangular opening on the window screen with satisfaction. She reached her hand in through the opening and touched the slot under the window. She lifted the slot with her fingertip and the slot was immediately lifted by her.
She opened the window carefully and did not forget to drip water into the slit. The effect of dripping water was to lubricate the opening and closing of the window so that no sound would wake the guards.
As she opened the window, her heart was in her throat. The bottle of medicine was on the table.
She placed her hand on the window frame and flipped it with force. She sat firmly on the window frame. She slowly lowered her legs and stepped lightly on the floor. As long as she walked to the middle of the room, she would be able to get the medicine.
She closed the window and walked slowly step by step. Just a few steps away, she felt that she had walked for a century.
Just as she was about to approach the table, the guard suddenly let out a loud snort.
Lian Lian was so scared that she crouched down and hid under the table.
Her gaze passed under the table and looked vigilantly at the guard. The Guard was woken up by his snoring. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the room. Everything was the same as before he went to sleep. There was nothing unusual.
In fact, the person watching the night would not stay awake to guard the room. They would sleep. It was just that there was no bed here. If they did not sleep well, they would wake up once in a while.
He yawned and got up to pour some tea.
Lian Lian, who was hiding under the table, rolled her eyes. Damn it, when was the right time to wake up? Why did she have to wake up now?
The longer the person guarding the room woke up, the more likely she would be exposed.
One had to know that there was no tablecloth on this table. It was just a solid wooden table. She relied on the shadow under the table to hide herself.
Apparently, the guard seemed to be in high spirits after drinking tea. He walked towards the table.
Lian Lian's nerves tensed up. What was he doing at the table Had He discovered her?
Her eyebrows pressed down deeply. It was difficult to run away from the place where she was hiding.
Before she could think of a way to run away, the man had already walked to the table. He sat down on the table and took out his phone to play games.
Lian Lian's heart finally relaxed when she heard the sound of the game on her phone. Fortunately, he had not discovered her.
However, this person had been playing games all this time. It was also a problem if she did not sleep. How was she going to steal something?
She took out a small box from the pocket of her nightgown and opened it. Inside was a small piece of charcoal. This charcoal had been specially refined and this little bit could be burned for a long time. Moreover, it was sealed in the box and would not go out.
She blew lightly on the small charcoal fire and the charcoal fire immediately became even redder. She then took out a small pill and placed it in the box. She rubbed a small tube of ointment on her person. This was the antidote.
The small pill was burned by the charcoal fire, and a wisp of green smoke rose from it. She leaned the small box against the edge of the table to let the smoke spread out quickly so that the guards could smell it.
This kind of smoke was faint, and one would not be able to tell if one did not look carefully. There was a faint, pleasant smell.
Not long after, the guard yawned, so sleepy that he could not open his eyes.
He rubbed his eyes, not understanding why he was so sleepy.
The next moment, he fell asleep on the table.
Lian Lian listened to the man's snoring, and the corner of her lips twitched. She was simply angered to death by this man. Why was he sleeping here?
She quietly poked her head out to look at the table. The man was sound asleep, and the jade bottle was right beside him.
She reached out to pick up the small bottle, and in the next instant, she retracted it under the table.
She couldn't take the bottle away, or else ye Xinghun would discover the problem.
She took out a dropper from her pocket, and the long and slender dropper was inserted into the jade bottle. She extracted some medicinal liquid from it, then placed the dropper into the small box and placed it in her pocket.
She crawled out of the table and placed the small bottle back on the table.
She tiptoed towards the window. As long as she climbed out of the window, she would be safe.
When she reached the window, there was a knock on the door.
The Guard was woken up by the knock and got up from the table in a panic.
"Who is it? " He rubbed his eyes and asked.
"It's me. Are you sleeping? " Ye Wei's voice came from outside the door.
"No, I'M NOT SLEEPING! " The man got up and ran towards the door to open it for ye Wei.
Lian Lian's heart tightened as she watched the man run towards the door. Luckily, the door and the window were in two different directions. Otherwise, she was sure that the man would see her!
She quickly opened the window. She had to jump out of the window before Ye Wei came in. Otherwise, the first person Ye Wei saw when she came in would be her!
As the door opened, Ye Wei walked into the room. "You still say you haven't slept? Look at your eyes, they're all red! "
She ridiculed the watchman and looked towards the room. Her face twitched as she seemed to see the window move.
"someone's there! " She ran towards the window hurriedly.
"Ah? Someone's there? WHO's there? " The watchman was shocked by Ye Wei and ran to the window to look.
Ye Wei pushed the window open. There was nothing in the empty darkness outside, only the silence of the night in the rainforest.
"What the hell? Who is it? I have been awake the whole time. How can there be someone in the room that I don't know? " The man shouted.
"Are you really awake? " Ye Wei questioned.
