Chapter 106
"Mengmeng, stay away!"
"Mengmeng, don't touch it with your paws, be careful of the burns!"
This was a massive kitchen, with over a hundred stoves alone—a truly massive one. It was around ten in the morning, lunchtime, and every stove was bustling with activity. Because of the rules, the entire kitchen was perfectly organized, with the only sound being the clatter of spatulas.
A few hours ago, Yin Jiuyuan sent someone over early in the morning, saying that he had something to deal with during this period and could not take Mu Jiao out.
Mu Jiao had just finished washing up at that time. After hearing the news, she felt very regretful. Not being able to go out meant that she would not have the chance to familiarize herself with the route again, and she didn't know when she would be able to go out next time...
Although she slept too late last night and was not in good spirits, she heard bad news early in the morning and had no desire to go back to sleep.
Mu Jiao was now filled with melancholy. So far, her plan for escape had made almost no progress. The only glimmer of hope was the route out of the city she'd drawn last night. She had originally planned to go back and explore the route over the next few days, familiarizing herself with it and gaining as much understanding as possible about the road and the city gates. But now, that plan had to be put on hold for the time being.
Just thinking about it made her feel depressed. Mu Jiao sat at the desk with her cheek in her hand, feeling bitter and resentful for the whole morning, and then she didn't even want to eat breakfast.
"Master, skipping breakfast is not good for your health. You are still young and growing, so you should eat something!" A Ping looked at the girl who had no intention of picking up her chopsticks for most of the day and couldn't help but persuade her.
Mu Jiao: "..."^sad
"Master, don't be upset. I think the chief has been busy these days and hasn't had time to take you out. When he's not busy tomorrow, he'll naturally take you out to play again." Seeing the girl's unmoved expression, as if she had lost all hope in life, Ah Ping thought her master's expression was adorable. The master was indeed still a child, throwing a tantrum because he couldn't go out to play.
Mu Jiao: Why is Ah Ping looking at me like I'm a naughty kid?! Even though she's only eighteen in this life, not as old as him, but considering her past life, she could be his aunt, right? Mu Jiao was so upset... She decided she couldn't let Ah Ping misunderstand her behavior like that. So...
"A Ping, am I really so childish in your eyes?"
A Ping: "..." Although he didn't say anything, his loving expression said it all.
During this period, the two of them have gradually become familiar with each other. In addition, Mu Jiao sincerely regards A Ping as a friend, and the two of them get along more and more equally and harmoniously. A Ping, who has always been taciturn, will now also joke with Mu Jiao.
"Okay, now I have to prove myself even more. I'm not unhappy just because I can't go out and play." Mu Jiao gritted her teeth, made up her mind, pulled A Ping's arm, stood up and walked to the desk, talking incessantly about her "secret achievements" during this period.
In Mu Jiao's opinion, once she has made all the necessary preparations for her escape and found the right opportunity, A Ping must leave with her. After all, in the eyes of these people, A Ping is her slave. If she escapes, A Ping will almost certainly be interrogated and tortured. At worst, he might even lose his life. Instead of that, it is better for him to run away with her.
Of course, in addition to this reason, Mu Jiao also wanted to see what Aping's attitude was towards her escape. After all, Aping was now her close attendant. If he did not support her or went to Gaomi, she would definitely have no hope.
So this time she was determined to tell Aping all her plans, and was also prepared for him to tell on her.
"So, Master, you're worried that you won't be able to go out and explore the route these days?"
"What?" Mu Jiao was prepared for A Ping to persuade her or even threaten her, but she never expected him to ask such a calm question.
"What? Master, do you think Aping will report you?" Seeing Mu Jiao's surprised expression, Aping easily guessed her thoughts and couldn't help but feel a little amused.
"Isn't your reaction a bit too calm? If you don't go and complain, you should at least give me some advice." After all, she heard Aping say that this period of time was the most peaceful time for him, and her escape plan was about to destroy the stable life he had worked so hard to get.
"No matter what the master wants to do or where he wants to go, A Ping will never disagree. A Ping will only follow the master forever." A Ping said this very firmly, like a vow.
"A Ping, actually you..." Mu Jiao was stunned for a moment when she heard A Ping's words, then moved her mouth, wanting to say something to A Ping, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by A Ping.
"Master, if you want to escape from such a well-protected place, besides figuring out the route, there are many other things you need to prepare."
Mu Jiao: “???”
