As her stomach churned, she suddenly realized that her mouth was sealed with a strip of cloth.

Jiang Shuyue suddenly opened her eyes. It was pitch black all around, and her back felt like a wooden board, making her whole back ache.

She wanted to know where she was lying. She tried to move slightly, but her wrists were numb and she couldn't move them. Her ankles were also tied up.

She held her breath and listened intently to the sounds around her.

The surroundings were silent, save for the nauseating smell.

Jiang Shuyue couldn't hold back any longer. With a thought, she lay down on the bed in the space.

With her back against the soft, fragrant bed, she felt much more comfortable.

She raised her hands and saw that her wrists were bound with hemp rope, and her wrists were already red and swollen.

Fortunately, her hands were tied in front, and her ankles were still bound with hemp rope.

Jiang Shuyue lay on the bed, turning slightly to her side, and slowly bent over.

Lying down for too long made my hands and feet numb, and my body almost stiff.

She curled up and straightened up like a silkworm cocoon, repeating this several times until she clearly felt her blood vessels in her body relax considerably.

After a while, she felt she could sit up.

He moved with effort to the edge of the bed, slid his feet off the edge, and then slowly sat up.

The dagger that can cut the hemp rope is on the medicine cabinet in the next room.

Jiang Shuyue was unable to walk normally and could only hop forward like a rabbit.

As soon as she stood up, Jiang Shuyue felt dizzy and quickly stopped.

After being knocked unconscious, she must have been given a sleeping potion. Feeling hungry and with an empty stomach, Jiang Shuyue desperately missed her modern cell phone.

I don't even know how long I was unconscious.

Xiao Jingzhao is probably already searching for him everywhere, and Qiuju must be crying her eyes out.

What should I do if I can't see myself when I go home every year?

Jiang Shuyue felt extremely anxious upon thinking about this.

No, she had to go back as soon as possible. The thought that she would still end up in the same place she had just been when she left the space gave Jiang Shuyue a headache.

She rallied her spirits and jumped to the next room again.

The dagger on the medicine cabinet was a gift from Xiao Jingzhao for self-defense; it was extremely sharp and said to be able to cut through iron like mud.

Jiang Shuyue jumped over, leaned against the medicine cabinet, picked up the dagger with her fingers, and sharpened it back and forth little by little with the blade facing her.

The blade was indeed sharp; in just a moment, the hemp rope on her wrist was cut off.

With her hands free, Jiang Shuyue didn't even have time to check the injury on her wrists. She quickly untied the gag from her mouth and then picked up a dagger to pry at the rope binding her ankles.

With just a few gentle pulls, the rope came undone.

Jiang Shuyue rolled up her sleeves and rubbed her wrist. Her wrist was terribly swollen and red, and she grimaced in pain.

Before she could even apply the medicine, she went to the hot spring pool to wash her hands and rinse her mouth. Then she went to the spirit spring pool, scooped up the water, and gulped down several mouthfuls.

The space contained grains and beans, as well as wooden blocks and a stove.

After drinking the spiritual spring water, Jiang Shuyue felt much better. Now, all she could think about was how to escape, and she had no appetite at all.

She really wanted to take a bath and change her clothes, but the thought of having to lie on that wooden board again after going out made her give up on the idea of ​​changing.

He walked towards the woods not far away, relieved himself, and returned to the house.

She took a bottle of detoxifying pills from the medicine cabinet and took a few herself.

Then he took out several medicine bottles and lined them up on the medicine cabinet.

Get everything ready, then listen for any sounds outside.

Suddenly, a rooster crowed, and Jiang Shuyue was overjoyed, for it must be dawn outside.

With a thought, she instantly lay down on the rough wooden board again.

It was still pitch black all around, and the stench was unbearable, so Jiang Shuyue had no choice but to hold her breath again and grope around with her hands.

The wooden planks on the top and left and right sides make it look like a coffin.

Damn it!

Jiang Shuyue wanted to swear after she finished touching him.

Damn it, that foreign woman put herself in a coffin.

There was also a putrid smell. Did the person who tied her up tie themselves up to be used in a ghost marriage?!

She recalled that in some places, there was a custom of ghost marriage, provided that both the man and woman were dead.

The thought of being buried alive made Jiang Shuyue forget her fear. She sat up, bent over, and forcefully lifted the coffin lid.

Fortunately, the coffin lid was quite thin, and she moved it off her head with almost no effort.

As the light in front of her brightened, Jiang Shuyue stood up from the coffin.

She quickly glanced around, a chill running down her spine, making the hairs on her body stand on end.

My goodness! A large, dilapidated house with drafts on all sides contained dozens of coffins, some of which were rotten and exposed the white bones inside.

Jiang Shuyue dared not look closely. She tried her best to overcome her fear, covered her mouth and nose with one hand, and climbed out of the coffin and walked away.

Only after stepping out of the dilapidated house did I realize that this was a mortuary.

Wasn't he kidnapped and forced into a ghost marriage?!

Why was she kidnapped? For money or...?

Upon realizing that the woman was from another ethnic group, Jiang Shuyue suddenly understood that someone was eyeing the seeds she possessed, most likely hired by the Sang people.

It was just dawn, and weeds grew all around.

There are a few tiled houses not far away.

Looking around, the mortuary was dilapidated, surrounded by a wall.

The gate to the mortuary was next to a tiled house not far away, and Jiang Shuyue guessed that the kidnappers should be inside the tiled house at this moment.

She walked quickly to the wall, stepping over two feet of weeds as she headed towards the gate.

She prayed silently that the door wasn't locked.

Just as we were halfway there, the door of the tiled house creaked open.

Before she could see anyone come out of the door, Jiang Shuyue quickly slipped into the space.

A series of hurried footsteps sounded, and a man said, "There are checkpoints on the official road, so we probably won't be able to proceed for a while."

"That little emperor of Wanling is like a headless fly right now. This is all within our calculations. Once he doesn't see anyone for ten days or half a month, he will naturally withdraw his men."

“That won’t do. We can’t let that woman lie in the coffin for ten days or half a month. Besides, it stinks here. We have to find a way to get her away as soon as possible.”

The two voices were speaking.

At this moment, another hoarse voice said, "It's the third day now. My sleeping potion will only last for three days at most. That woman should be waking up soon. You wait here, I'll go check on her."

"Anesthesiologist, go check on her quickly. Bring her here once she's awake. If she's not crying or making a fuss, we'll feed her. If she's disobedient, force-feed her a bowl of rice and then knock her unconscious."

The man who called for an anesthesiologist responded and left.

The "click-clack" of footsteps faded into the distance.

A man said coldly, "Tell her where the seeds were placed. It's only a day's journey from here to the capital. Third brother, find a way to sneak into the city and retrieve the seeds."

"Don't worry, boss. That woman has delicate skin. Just scare her a bit, and she'll definitely tell us where she keeps the seeds."

Before the two could finish speaking, the anesthesiologist rushed out, shouting, "Something terrible has happened! The person escaped from the coffin!"
