Chapter 51: If you don't want to expose yourself, you can only save yourself.
"Why isn't Gangzi back yet? How much longer are we going to have to wait here?" the waiter asked.
Curly said, "I don't know, he must have gone to see that woman Xia Zhuyu."
"If you ask me, Gangzi is stupid. He knows that Xia Zhuyu doesn't care about him at all and only wants to use him, but he doesn't care at all. He's like a dog, clinging to her wholeheartedly. He's so stupid."
Xiao Er whispered, "Curly Hair Bro, don't say that. If Gangzi hears you, he'll be unhappy."
Curly-haired guy pouted: "I'm telling the truth. What can I do if he doesn't like listening to me?"
Xia Yuhuan listened to their conversation and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the commotion just now wasn't from Gangzi returning, but from the waiter getting up to check the situation.
According to the two people outside, Gangzi is Xia Zhuyu's ultimate simp. He probably doesn't know that Xia Zhuyu went to the Northwest to work in the countryside, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to the compound to find her today.
If Gangzi found out that Xia Zhuyu had been sent to the countryside by her, Gangzi would tear her apart.
She had to find a way to untie the ropes before Gangzi returned and then find another opportunity to leave.
Xia Yuhuan continued to painstakingly cut the rope with her head down.
After Xia Yuhuan's tireless efforts, the rope was finally cut.
Xia Yuhuan's eyes lit up immediately, and she hurriedly threw the rope and fruit knife into her spatial storage.
My hands were tied for too long, and although they weren't completely bound, they were numb and uncomfortable, making them very inflexible.
However, Xia Yuhuan did not dare to delay. She gently moved her wrists and then bent down to untie the ropes binding her feet.
After untying the ropes binding her hands and feet, Xia Yuhuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She tried to move her body.
A sharp pain spread from her limbs, causing Xia Yuhuan to gasp and turn pale.
She was so focused on untying the rope that she was so tense that she had no time to think about anything else, and she even forgot about the pain all over her body.
Xia Yuhuan endured the pain and checked her body.
That's when they realized that her ribs were probably fractured.
Thankfully, it didn't break.
Otherwise, a broken rib could puncture internal organs, causing pneumothorax or heart problems, which could be fatal.
She breathed a sigh of relief and, with a heavy heart, took out the spiritual spring water from her spatial storage and drank it.
The effects of the spiritual spring water became apparent at that moment, and the intense pain was relieved instantly.
Although it didn't immediately heal all her injuries, it did greatly alleviate the pain she felt.
Xia Yuhuan took out another pill from her spatial storage and swallowed it.
Then, she quietly got up, cautiously approached the partition, and peered through it to see what was happening outside.
There were two people outside, who had started a fire and were roasting something. They were talking around the fire.
Looking at the two people through the firelight, Xia Yuhuan felt a vague sense of familiarity.
It was indeed the same person who had blocked her last time.
Gangzi, who met Xia Zhuyu last time, is not here.
Although Xia Yuhuan is diligent in exercising, she has not continued to learn self-defense techniques and does not know martial arts, so her physical fitness is okay, but her combat ability is not good.
She might not even be able to beat them one-on-one, let alone two-on-one, she's practically crippled now.
If the other party is not wary and is given the opportunity to get close, she can definitely control them based on her familiarity with acupoints.
Even a single, fatal blow is entirely possible.
She had absolutely no chance of confronting two adult men head-on.
Leaving directly through the main entrance was impractical, so she had to think of another way.
Xia Yuhuan thought to herself, her eyes searching around.
This was a dilapidated temple, and the place she was in wasn't a proper room, but rather the space behind a partition in the main hall of the temple.
To her left and in front of her was a towering Buddha statue, and a little behind her hung a tattered bamboo curtain.
Xia Yuhuan cautiously stepped forward, peered over the bamboo curtain, and her eyes lit up.
Behind the bamboo curtain was a wooden door!
She quickly and quietly stepped forward, carefully reaching out to push the door open.
The door was a wooden door, and because it had been in disrepair for many years, it was very heavy. Xia Yuhuan had been afraid that the two people outside would hear the noise, so she had pushed the door with less force and couldn't push it at all.
Xia Yuhuan was anxious, so she could only push the door harder.
With a creak, the door was pushed open.
Xia Yuhuan looked at the open door, but before she could feel happy, she endured the excruciating pain all over her body, stepped over the threshold, and ran away.
With such a loud commotion, the two people outside must have heard it. Every second she delays increases the danger she faces.
Sure enough, as soon as Xia Yuhuan ran out of the dilapidated temple, the two who heard the commotion got up and went behind the Buddha statue to check the situation.
Seeing that there was no one behind them, the two men began to curse angrily.
"Damn it, how did she get away? Didn't I tell you to tie her hands and feet? Didn't you tie them?" Curly cursed.
"She was tied up, I tied her up! I don't know how she ran away." The waiter was also anxious.
If he really gets lost, Gangzi will eat him alive.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and chase after them!" Curly-haired man hurriedly ran towards the back door.
Upon hearing this, the waiter followed in his footsteps.
After Xia Yuhuan ran out of the dilapidated temple, she saw an endless expanse of wasteland outside.
Without thinking twice, she randomly picked a spot and crawled inside.
It was already pitch black by then, but thankfully there was a moon in the sky, otherwise Xia Yuhuan wouldn't have been able to see it at all.
The pain from the impact felt like it was tearing her apart, but Xia Yuhuan couldn't stop to treat it. She stumbled and ran forward through the grass without daring to stop for a moment.
I'm afraid that if I stop, I'll get caught.
"Stop! Don't run!"
"You bitch, don't let me catch you, or I'll kill you."
Xiao Er and Curly Hair chased after them with torches in hand, Curly Hair shouting and looking very aggressive.
Xia Yuhuan was running when she saw lights in the distance.
Upon closer inspection, she realized they were car lights—the lights of many cars.
Finding the convoy in the middle of nowhere was a pleasant surprise.
At this moment, Xia Yuhuan didn't even have time to think about why a convoy had suddenly appeared here, and ran towards it without hesitation.
All she knew was that Gangzi and his gang were just a small group of thugs, and their team consisted of only a few people, making it impossible for them to form a convoy.
If they were really that powerful, they wouldn't have brought her to this dilapidated temple in the middle of nowhere to keep her under guard.
Therefore, the convoy is definitely not with Gangzi and his group.
As for whether the people in the team were good or bad, Xia Yuhuan didn't have time to think about it under these extreme circumstances.
She had to get herself out of danger first.
Yan Hu was sitting in the car when he saw flashes of light in the distance, and his vigilance immediately went up.
He told the driver to slow down and kept his eyes fixed on the direction of the fire.
Seeing that the flames were moving, Yan Hu immediately told the driver to stop the car.
Immediately, he jumped out of the car.
The soldiers following behind also jumped off the vehicle.
The once-dazzling headlights went out instantly.
“There’s a fire over there. Team One, come with me. Teams Two and Three, stay put.”
As Yan Hu spoke, he charged ahead into the pile of weeds.
Xia Yuhuan, who was running towards the lights, felt uneasy when she saw the convoy stop and no longer move forward.
What made her even more desperate was that she was caught up by the two people behind her.
