Chapter 223 - I cant be that weak. (2/2)

That's what she was trying to do and encourage herself so that she won't go weak against the enemy.

After a few breaths, she calmed down a little and scanned the room.

” But who was that man? And why did he brought me here like this? What does he want?” She mumbled these questions as she tried to think hard if she could remember his face from Xie Ming's memory.

But got frustrated when she couldn't remember anything.

' I don't think Xie Ming know him before.' she sighed when she couldn't find any links.

” It's not the time to think about the links. I have to hurry up and get out of this place before he comes back.” She mumbled as she straightened her back to look at her surroundings

She could see the big door in the room. The room was filled with dust and spiderwebs.

It was evident that no one has come here in years. The door is large but if I could find anything then maybe I could open it.

' I have to hurry up and get out of this.'

Xie Ming's hands were tied together behind her back. So she couldn't see and open it.

Xie Ming looked around the room but there was nothing from which help she could open her ropes.

Then her gaze went upon the nail on the wall but it was very far from her position.

She crawled to the other side of the room to reach the wall where the nail was sticking out from the wall.

When she reached there after struggling for so long, she sighed heavily. But the nail was high on the wall.

She had to stand up to reach towards the nail because she couldn't reach the nail while laying on the ground. She tried to stand up but as her legs were tied up it was becoming difficult for her.

She went close to the wall and took it's support to stand up. She failed in her first attempt to get up and fell on the ground with a 'Thump.'

Her whole body ached when she fell miserably. Tears welled up in her eyes but she didn't let them fall.

She took a deep breath and attempted again. After attempting three times, she failed miserably.

But in her fourth attempt, she finally stood up with the support of the wall.

At that time, she remembered her father's words that one should not be discouraged just because we failed a few times. We should give our best efforts and one day we will be successful in our task.

She walked towards the wall while jumping with her legs and hands tied up.

She turned her back towards the wall as her hands were tied on her back. She carefully placed her hands near the nail and started rubbing it.

She was not using her all force instead only rubbing the part of the rope which was weak and could be open easily.

She was a soldier's daughter, though she has not learned everything however, she knows these few tricks that her father has taught her.

If her hands were tied in front than it would be easier for her to open it but as it was behind her back it was more challenging.

So she was using this trick to open the rope without damaging the nail because the nail was old and rusted. She might need this to open the door so she can't damage it.
