"Girl? Girl?"
"She seems to still be breathing. Should we take her to the emergency room?"
"Emergency doctors don't have time to care for her; they can't even save the wounded soldiers."
"Cough cough..."
"She's awake!"
As the moon peeked out from its heavy eyelids, its limited vision was blurry, and indistinct sounds continued to surround it.
"Young lady, your clothes don't look like those of people from here. You shouldn't be here."
As her vision gradually cleared, Nanqianyue finally saw the people who had been greeting her: two women with yellowish skin...
The auntie in the ancient cloth robe is probably an extra in some film crew.
As Nanqianyue stood up, she leaned on a wooden stake, supported by two kind-hearted aunties on either side.
"Thank you, Auntie." Nan Qianyue nodded politely.
The two women exchanged a puzzled look. "Young lady, what did you call us?"
Nan Qianyue pursed her dry lips, carefully examined the two women's faces, and estimated their ages.
Did she make someone sound old? They just haven't taken good care of themselves.
"Thank you, sister," Nanqianyue said, changing her address.
The two women were startled, then clutched their chests and laughed. One of them said with a playful scolding, "Little girl, we're old enough to be your grandmothers, how can you call us 'sisters'?"
"Hey, it must be that the girl's hometown has unique customs. Let's not make things difficult for her."
Nanqianyue smiled and looked around past the two women. The stone floor, the earthen walls, and the red wooden beams on the roof were somewhat dilapidated, like a temple.
It's very different from where she filmed. How did she get here?
"Auntie, where is this?"
The two women looked at each other, still puzzled. "Young lady, this is Fengdu, don't you know?"
Fengdu? How come she'd never heard of a place called Fengdu in Hengdian? Was it the name from the drama?
Nan Qianyue shook her head. "Auntie, my phone is with my assistant. Can I borrow your phone to make a call?"
The two women frowned, wondering where this little girl had come from and why she spoke so strangely, which they couldn't understand at all.
"Hey, come here." The two women stepped back a little, then whispered in each other's ears.
“I feel like she has some mental issues, but she looks like a fairy. Why don’t you take her home and take her to see a doctor after the war is over? Maybe this is a marriage ordained by the gods for your son.”
"Tsk, don't talk nonsense. What if... I mean, what if she's a spy? The people of Dongling are cunning. It's not impossible for them to send in a spy to gather intelligence."
“But she’s not wearing Dongling clothing. How could someone who looks so fair and delicate be a spy?”
"You don't understand..."
Nan Qianyue's heart pounded. She overheard bits and pieces of information and concluded that the two women were either still caught up in the drama or... human traffickers!
However, there was no sign of any filming crew or even a single camera in the temple, so the two women were definitely not filming a movie.
So it can only be the latter: she encountered human traffickers!
There have been cases of actresses mysteriously disappearing in Hengdian!
Thinking of this, Nan Qianyue could no longer sit still. While the two aunts were whispering, she secretly tied up the hem of her trailing skirt to avoid hindering her escape.
Once everything was ready, just as the two women finished their discussion, Nanqianyue rushed out before they could even get close.
"Hey! She ran away!"
"Damn it! She really is a spy! Quickly, inform General Yang!"
As she fled south, she ran wildly through the deserted streets, afraid to stop, but the completely unfamiliar streets chilled her heart to the bone.
Could it be that human traffickers drugged her and took her abroad?
"call--"
Nanqianyue was too exhausted to run anymore. She supported herself on her knees and gasped for breath. She looked back and saw that the two human traffickers were not chasing after her.
But she dared not slack off and could only grit her teeth and keep running, treating it as a way to lose weight and dazzle her manager when she got back.
"She's there!"
"Quick! Surround her!"
A group of soldiers with knives suddenly rushed from both ends of the street, blocking the road and leaving Nanqianyue with nowhere to escape.
She stood there dumbfounded. Is role-playing a popular trend in the human trafficking industry these days?
"Take it down!"
As the authoritative voice fell, two soldiers, swords drawn, attempted to subdue Nangong Yue, but just as they were about to touch her, she skillfully grabbed their arms and threw them to the ground.
Then another soldier saw this and immediately raised his knife to slash at Nan Qianyue. Nan Qianyue dodged it and kicked the soldier's arm at the same time, snatching the knife from his hand and holding it to his neck.
"Don't move! Or I'll kill him!" Nan Qianyue kicked the soldier in the back of the knee, forcing him to kneel on the ground.
"What a spies from Dongling! Even with all the precautions in Fengdu, they still managed to sneak in."
A man in tattered armor stepped out from behind the soldiers, his sharp, hateful gaze fixed on Nan Qianyue.
At first glance, he immediately frowned.
Although I've never seen this woman's clothes before, the fabric is clearly not something an ordinary person could afford. Moreover, she is stunningly beautiful and doesn't look like someone who has endured years of hardship through training; she seems more like a noblewoman from a high-class family.
"I advise you to surrender, or this general will make sure your blood is spilled on the spot!"
Nanqianyue scoffed, "It's a shame these human traffickers aren't actors."
"Get this straight, your man is in my hands. Go find me a car right now, or I'll kill him!"
Fortunately, she had played a ruthless female villain before, so striking a pose was no problem for her.
However, the role she recently took on is that of a princess from the spirit world, so her makeup and styling will naturally focus on ethereal beauty. I wonder if that will affect her aura.
