"I know, Chunhong, don't worry, everything will be alright." Rou Niang patted Chunhong's hand.
"Princess, where are we?" Chunhong asked, somewhat frightened.
"I don't know either. It's all empty inside. We need to figure out a way to get out," Rou Niang said.
"But how are we going to get out?" Chunhong asked.
Rou Niang walked to the door and pushed it hard. It seemed to be locked from the outside, but there shouldn't be anyone holding the door, since no one answered when she pushed it in.
"Chunhong, push me up there, let me see if I can figure out how to open this window," Rou Niang said, pointing to a small skylight in the wall.
He observed that the two large windows of the supplies control room were tightly sealed from the outside, only the small skylight was not sealed. However, it was too high; in fact, it was impossible to climb up.
“Princess, step on my shoulder.” Chunhong nodded and squatted down.
Fortunately, Rou Niang wasn't very heavy. Chun Hong gritted her teeth and stood up, supporting herself against the wall. Rou Niang was just able to grab the skylight frame.
It was also the basic kung fu skills that Mo Bei had taught her that helped Rou Niang. She exerted her strength and actually made it up. She pushed hard and pushed it away!
Rou Niang looked out the window and saw a courtyard. The courtyard was clean and empty, with nothing placed there, so it seemed that no one lived there.
"Princess, how is it?" Chunhong asked from below.
"Chunhong, wait for me," Rou Niang said as she put on the clothes and tied them with ropes, which she had taken out of her spatial storage.
Then he climbed out first.
Seeing Rou Niang climb out the window, Chun Hong was worried about Rou Niang's safety, so she quickly climbed up and climbed out as well.
"It's strange that there are ropes here," Chunhong remarked.
Rou Niang touched her nose, said nothing, and then said, "Let's go quickly!"
"Princess, the gate is over there!" Chunhong said, pulling Rou Niang back as she saw her turn away.
“I know, but there might be people at the main gate, so let’s go to the back, or we can climb over the wall,” Rou Niang explained.
Chunhong nodded, and the two of them hurried to the back. The wall was too high!
"Princess, what should we do?" Chunhong asked anxiously.
"No rush, let's look around and see if there's anything we can stand on," Rou Niang said.
Chunhong, while searching, chimed in, "How could there be? Would they put a ladder here?"
"Chunhong, look, there's a ladder here!" Rou Niang said.
Chunhong: ...
"Chunhong, you climb up first," Rou Niang said, holding the ladder. She planned to put the ladder back into her spatial storage once Chunhong had climbed over the wall.
As soon as Chunhong climbed over the wall, she saw someone return to the courtyard and see them!
"They've escaped! Quick, catch them!"
"Princess!" Chunhong cried anxiously.
"Chunhong, you go first, go find someone!" Liu Rongniang made a quick decision. It seemed that if she climbed up, both of them would be caught, so it was better to let Chunhong go first.
Chunhong understood this principle as well. The situation was more urgent than she could be, so she said, "Princess, please be careful. I will be back soon."
Rou Niang nodded, and Chun Hong climbed over the wall to leave. At this moment, several people surrounded them!
"Little girl, you're pretty good, managing to escape!" The leader of the men stepped forward and grabbed Rou Niang.
"Don't touch me, I'll go back by myself!" Rou Niang said.
In the end, Rou Niang was captured again, but not long after, several people took her away, and she discovered that there were three other girls involved, and they were moved together.
We traveled by water!
It seems they were drugged last night and have probably already left the city overnight!
As soon as she boarded the boat, Rou Niang fainted after being covered with a handkerchief. When she woke up, she found herself locked alone in a woodshed.
I wonder how those three girls are doing? Rou Niang thought to herself as she entered the spatial dimension again.
She was untied, but Rou Niang wasn't in a hurry to leave. This time, being alone, she wasn't in a rush.
She first ate a big meal in the space, washed up, changed her clothes, and then thought about resting and recharging before figuring out how to return to the capital.
Where are they?
Just as Rou Niang finished washing up and eating and drinking in the space, she saw the door of the woodshed be pushed open, and then the same man appeared, looking at a fat woman beside him with an incredulous expression!
"How could she disappear! The effects of the medicine haven't worn off yet; she's too weak to run far. Let's search the surrounding area!" the man said.
The two hurriedly went out. Rou Niang looked at herself, clenched her fist, and realized she really couldn't muster any strength. She had initially thought it was because she was hungry, but it turned out the drug hadn't worn off yet. This sleeping potion wasn't poison, and the spatial water wouldn't work. But anyway, she wasn't in a hurry. It would be safe to eat, drink, and rest in this space until nightfall. After figuring things out, she would head out.
They waited until dawn, when everyone was sound asleep. Rou Niang stealthily emerged from her spatial dimension. The sky was a hazy gray, but thankfully, she could still see the path.
Rou Niang quietly peeked out. The courtyard was very small, a fenced yard that looked like a farmhouse, but there were no animals there.
Rou Niang prepared to leave, cautiously looking around, thinking that if she encountered anyone, she would quickly slip into her spatial dimension.
Just as she pushed open the door and was about to rush out, she suddenly saw a familiar object. Rou Niang was startled and quickly took it off the door to examine it carefully.
It's an old, faded knot that's lost its original color, but the technique used is truly unique.
Old Madam Liu had taught her this technique and told her that it was created by her mother. After her mother disappeared, Old Madam Liu would make this kind of knot whenever she missed her, as if she could see her daughter proudly showing it off to her.
This group is the same group that abducted my mother back then!
Originally, Rou Niang only wanted to leave quickly, but now, she gripped the tassel in her hand tightly; she wanted to avenge her mother.
It seems that all of this was arranged by fate, and the mother and daughter ended up in the hands of the same group of people!
Rou Niang opened the door to leave, only to find that she was actually on the mountain.
If she were truly a young lady from a secluded family, even if she managed to escape this courtyard, it would be very difficult for her to leave the mountain safely.
But it was Rou Niang who had fled with the people of Zhao Family Village, crossing mountains and valleys for more than ten days. So, coming down the mountain was no problem for her.
After Rou Niang descended the mountain, she discovered that it was a harbor surrounded by mountains and water. She hired a small boat and planned to go to the nearby county to file a complaint with the authorities!
Then, Rou Niang was tied up again and sent back to the mountain by the boat owner who was very happy to have received the silver. It turned out they were all in cahoots!
Rou Niang was a stranger, and her identity was immediately recognized upon meeting her!
It seems we'll have to leave; we can't rely on the locals anymore.
While the two were exchanging information and chatting, Rou Niang went back into the mountains.
Behind her, the two pursued relentlessly, but Rou Niang was not afraid. As long as she could escape their sight, she could enter the space.
"Stop right there! If you run again, I'll catch you and skin you alive!" the man behind shouted fiercely.
