“You stay here and cover for me,” Yan Xun said, gesturing for Gao Wen to stay in the courtyard while he himself looked eagerly at the high walls of the Gao family.
After leaving the woodshed, Gao Wen glanced at the black bear man lying there in the same position as before. "Won't he tell on me?"
“If they were going to complain, they should have alerted us the moment we came in,” Yan Xun said, looking at the black bear-like man who seemed to be fast asleep.
The other party's yard was right on the edge of the Gao family's yard. Yan Xun looked up at the Gao family's wall. From a technical point of view, the Gao family's wall was not very high. Even someone who was slow-moving could easily climb over it as long as they could find a ladder.
He found a foothold, stepped back slightly, and with a sprint, easily stepped onto the foothold and climbed onto the wall with one hand.
Then, with a powerful push of his legs, he flipped himself up onto the wall and sat down.
Outside the Gao family compound, there was nothing particularly special about the scene.
Just as Lou Yanchuan described, it was a very ordinary town. Yan Xun sat on the wall and could easily see the layout of the town... and also the crowds of people coming and going. These people did not notice Yan Xun until someone seemed to sense something, looked up, and stared in disbelief at Yan Xun sitting on the wall. Then, they patted their companions and pointed at the wall, shouting.
Upon seeing this, Yan Xun immediately flipped over and jumped off the wall, and then—
He looked at Gao Wen, who stood dumbfounded in front of him, and Gao Wen asked with a puzzled expression, "Brother, did you jump in the wrong direction?"
Yan Xun: "..."
"No."
He clearly remembered that he jumped towards the path outside the Gao family's house, but when he landed, he was back in the Gao family's courtyard.
He turned around somewhat disbelievingly and repeated the action he had just performed, and then he saw Gao Wen standing in front of him again.
The two of them fell silent.
"Give it a try," Yan Xun couldn't help but say.
According to the background of the story, Gawain once escaped – could it be that he also climbed over the wall and found himself back at the Gawain family home?
Without hesitation, Gao Wen used the foothold Yan Xun had just found to climb over the wall and then jumped down as well.
—From Yan Xun's perspective, Gao Wen jumped straight down into the courtyard.
Seeing Gao Wen back in the courtyard, the two fell silent.
"An illusion?" Yan Xun pondered.
"How about we jump together?" Gao Wen suggested.
"You on one side, me on the other?"
Yan Xun imagined the scene and finally shook his head, "It's probably related to the dungeon's design."
"Without Master Gao's permission, we cannot leave the Gao family quietly."
Perhaps because they were making too much noise, the black bear man lying on the table finally yawned, then looked up at them and said, "I told you not to waste your time."
He looked at Yan Xun and Gao Wen with a mocking expression, "You're lucky now."
"Is this considered good luck?" Gao Wen couldn't help but say.
“If it weren’t for the recent banquet and the Gao family being short-handed, you wouldn’t be here now, but would have been found under your own beds,” the black bear man said. “If you were any unlucky, you probably would have been rotting before anyone found you.”
Yan Xun knew he was referring to the fate of those who had previously scaled the wall.
"Just how many people have actually climbed over the wall and left the Gao family?" Yan Xun looked at the black-haired man. "You seem to know quite a few?"
