I opened a treasure chest on the road to escape

"father!"

"What kind of bird is that?"

Geng Xiaoyan pointed at a palm-sized, strange-shaped thing in mid-air that was completely different from the birds she knew, her eyes full of curiosity.

Uncle Geng put down the saw and frowned. He had never seen such a bird before. However, during this period of famine, are there any birds alive?

Shouldn't we have flown to the south to avoid disaster?

Thinking of this, Uncle Geng turned to Geng Xiaoyan and said, "Go to Xiaoxue and bring the bow and arrows..."

Obviously, once you have encountered it, don’t let it go, no matter how small it is, it is still meat.

"Uncle Geng, wait, this is not a bird..."

Chen Chuxue walked over from a distance, then stretched out her hand, and saw the strange "bird" landing on Chen Chuxue's hand.

"This is……"

Seeing Chen Chuxue coming over, several people were a little surprised.

Chen Chuxue briefly explained the drone, and then showed them the video taken by the drone just now.

On the screen, Uncle Geng was sawing wood, but Geng Xiaoyan patted him on the shoulder and pointed at the scene of the drone.

"It's so clear..."

Uncle Geng was shocked in his heart, "What kind of magic weapon is this? It's so powerful."

"Wait a minute." Aunt Geng also said in surprise, "With this thing, we can see the situation in the city..."

"Yes."

Chen Chuxue smiled and nodded. Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this. With the drone, their success rate has improved a lot.

And Uncle Geng, as if he had taken a shot of chicken blood, built the ladder in less than two days.

Because there is no way to store the ten-meter long staircase in the space, it can only be divided into two sections, one section is five meters long, and then connected together.

In order to prevent the connection from breaking, Uncle Geng collected a lot of wood and rope and tied them up when the time came.

"Dad, I have a question..."

Geng Xiaoyan suddenly said, "When we get to the city wall, what will happen to the stairs?"

The ten-meter-long staircase space cannot be accommodated, so they have to be separated and reconnected when they are next to the city wall.

Then, here comes the problem.

When the two sections of stairs are tied together, they will no longer fit into the space.

It will soon be discovered that someone has entered the city.

"This is indeed a problem."

Chen Chuxue frowned. She didn't expect this problem, which was a bit difficult to deal with.

Although this problem is small, its impact is huge.

Because you may not be able to see clearly at night, the stairs will be discovered by patrolling soldiers during the day.

At that time, the entire county magistrate's soldiers and government officials will start searching for outsiders. Unless they leave the city that night after entering the city, they will be easily discovered.

Of course, they could also take a gamble and bet that those people would need to investigate for several days before they could find them.

But in this case, several other city gates may also be blocked and they will not be allowed to leave.

Moreover, if those people knew that someone used the stairs to enter the city, they would definitely imagine that these people would use the stairs to leave the city.

At that time, the defense on the city wall will become more stringent.

"Our stairs need to be recycled."

There is no doubt about this. If the stairs are not taken away, they will be exposed, and when they leave the county, they may also need the stairs to escape.

"Sure enough, nothing is that simple."

Chen Chuxue sighed. If it were really that simple, others would have successfully sneaked into the city through this method.

"With that, we can make telescoping stairs."

Chen Chuxue thought about it, then looked at Uncle Geng and explained, "Uncle Geng, can this be done?"

"Telescopic ladder?" Uncle Geng frowned, and then his eyes suddenly lit up. He could still do this.

Then, he smiled bitterly.

"This kind of ladder looks simple, but it is not simple. The main reason is that there is no suitable material for the telescopic node..."

The principle of this telescopic ladder is very simple. The main thing is that the twisted joints need ductile materials to fix them and be able to stretch.

Chen Chuxue was silent. It was indeed true. Unless modern materials were available, a simple telescopic staircase could be made.

Without retractable stairs, their plan would not be able to proceed.

Seeing that they were in trouble again, everyone looked a little unhappy.

"I can only open more treasure boxes..."

Chen Chuxue sighed, turned around and talked to Uncle Geng and the others.

"In that case, let's take a detour and see..." Aunt Geng said, "In this case, we can either try to see if we can make a detour, or let Xiaoxue collect treasures."

"That's all." Uncle Geng nodded.

Thinking of this, everyone started to pack up their things and leave. Of course, the materials for making the ladder were not discarded but collected.

Not only that, but collect as many as possible.

After doing this, they had lunch and then drove towards Dongqiu County.

When they were still one kilometer away, they stopped. There was nothing they could do, the sound of the car was too loud and attracted too much attention.

After walking not far, they came to the foot of the mountain.

"This mountain is not high, but I don't know what it is like on the back side? Can I go down from the mountain?"

Generally, there are two defensive measures for this kind of city wall built along the mountain. One is to build the city wall at the foot of the mountain.

This is when the mountain is steep and it is impossible for the enemy to climb down the mountain. The most they can do is throw stones.

Therefore, the city wall was built at the foot of the mountain to defend against enemy stone attacks.

The other type has a gentler hillside, and they built city walls on the mountain to resist invasion by foreign enemies.

The Dongqiu County in front of us is obviously the second type.

Because when they climbed halfway up the mountain, they saw a city wall seven or eight meters high.

Chen Chuxue was a little shocked. It was possible to build a city wall seven or eight meters high on this mountain. The ancients were so powerful.

And they could vaguely see the soldiers on the city wall.

shhhhhh!

The soldiers also discovered them and quickly shot bows and arrows at them in advance. Chen Chuxue and others had to leave quickly.

They walked along the wall on the mountainside, trying to see if they could find a gap or find the end of the wall.

But unfortunately, it was not found.

"So, we can only use the previous plan."

Uncle Geng sighed. This detour method was not working, so he had to climb the wall to enter the county town.

"It can only be the."

Aunt Geng also sighed, a little helpless. A clever woman can't make a meal without rice, and they can't think of any other good ideas.

Chen Chuxue did not speak, but looked at several treasure boxes in the space, all of which were small orange treasure boxes.

She didn't open them because they were all small orange treasure chests, and what she opened might not be able to help her climb over the city wall.

Therefore, she planned to collect more and synthesize a large orange treasure chest.

She did not choose to synthesize the golden treasure chest. Firstly, the quantity was not enough, and secondly, the golden treasure chest might not always produce exactly what she needed.

"There's still one left to go."

Chen Chuxue thought about it and told Uncle Geng and others to go down the mountain. Uncle Geng and others nodded. The detour just now was not without gain.

They found that the city wall on the mountain was more tightly guarded, while the wall on the mountain was looser, so if they wanted to climb the wall, they had to go to the foot of the mountain.
