Sui Sui estimated the height and then reached out to feel the wind direction.

The sleeves were blown to the left by the night wind. The wind direction was wrong, and there wasn't much powder in my pocket. I had to hit the target in one fell swoop.

“It’s chilly at night. There’s a blanket on the bed. I’ll keep watch over you. Go and get some sleep. If any bad guys come, I’ll carry you to the floor and put you down.” Chang Le said, pulling Sui Sui’s hand back.

"Auntie, I have some newly mixed itching powder in my pocket, but the wind direction is wrong right now," Sui Sui said, looking in the other direction.

What is itchy powder?

Sui Sui lowered her voice and patiently explained, "It means that if it touches someone's skin, it will make them itchy, and they won't be able to resist scratching it. In less than an hour, it will become red and swollen. If a bad person gets sick..."

Should we go ashore for medical treatment? Our parents must be looking for us right now. If the thugs go to the clinic to buy medicine, the officials will find us through the trail.”

Chang Le saw hope, and her anxious heart gradually calmed down.

"Sui Sui is so smart. Wait, how come nothing happened when you carried it with you?"

"Aunt Qiuju lined the inside of the purse with oiled paper so it wouldn't hurt me."

This was the first time Chang Le had ever heard of such a poison. Looking at her precious nephew, Chang Le was so excited that she forgot she was in danger.

She pulled Sui Sui along and walked to the other side. "Wait here, I'll open the window and you can check if the wind direction is okay on this side?"

"Okay, Auntie, just push gently, and don't let the bad guys notice."

Chang Le gently felt around the window frame, making a slight sound when she pushed open the first window.

She quickly stopped and replaced the window. Chang Le was so nervous that her palms were almost sweating. Fortunately, not every window made a creaking sound.

The window was only halfway open when the sound of oars splashing on the water could be heard.

Chang Le peeked out slightly and saw a small boat sailing away into the distance.
