"There can't be only two exits here, can there?" she asked the woman behind her.
The woman's already unpleasant complexion became even more so.
The moment Zhou Chunhua saw the woman nod, her heart skipped a beat.
"A wall nearly three meters high was built around the entire village. There are only two entrances and exits: one in front of the village and one behind the mountain."
Once again in a predicament, Zhou Chunhua panicked.
She finally found Nini and barely escaped from Wu Hao's clutches, but in the end, is death still the only option for her and her daughter?
No! She had endured so many years of suffering to finally reunite with her daughter, and she didn't want to die! She especially didn't want her young daughter, Nini, to lose her life because of her.
What to do? Think quickly! What to do?
However, at this moment, her mind was like a tangled mess, and no matter how she tried to untangle it, she couldn't find the starting point.
Just then, a clear, cold voice rang in her mind.
"The more confused you are, the calmer you need to be."
Gu Yao is right. The more uncertain you are, the less you should panic.
After taking a deep breath...
"At worst, I'll just use a VPN!"
She might not be able to get over it with Nini, but isn't there still that woman behind her?
Composing herself, she turned to ask, "You must know where the wall is shortest, right? Or... easiest to climb?"
The woman shook her head and said anxiously, "Climbing over the wall isn't actually difficult, but the problem is that since Lu Ming escaped, Wu Hao has not only increased the number of people at the back entrance and exit of the mountain, but also set up a patrol team to patrol along the wall."
Wu Hao said that because he knew Lu Ming so well that he was a particularly vengeful person, Lu Ming was the only person he had ever let go of over the years.
But Lu Ming suffered a loss this time, so he definitely won't run away. He'll surely come back to take revenge on the villagers. Therefore, several patrol teams were arranged to patrol every ten minutes to prevent Lu Ming from sneaking into the village to retaliate.
Zhou Chunhua's hard-won confidence collapsed at this moment.
Just then, a person walked out from inside the iron gate.
She's Wu Hao's wife!
She stood in front of the iron gate, just looking at her.
Suddenly she spoke up: "I'll help you escape. But you have to do me a favor too."
Zhou Chunhua raised her eyebrows in disbelief.
You have to understand, Wu Hao and Wu Tianqi both died because of her. One was her husband and the other was her son. She probably wanted to kill herself, so how could she possibly help her escape?
The old woman seemed to have read her thoughts and spoke again: "Why can Sha Tin Tsui do all sorts of despicable things and still remain intact? It's because they are united!"
Without my help, you wouldn't have been able to escape from here.
"Tell me about it." Zhou Chunhua nodded; she was right.
The old woman walked over shakily and handed her a canvas bag she was carrying.
It was a very worn-out canvas bag, looking exactly like the kind that students and educated youth carried in the 1960s.
She hesitated and didn't dare to take it, but the old woman let out a long sigh of relief.
"Inside are my diary and my acceptance letter. After you leave, please find my home and give this to...them."
At this point, the old woman's eyes reddened slightly.
“If it gets any later, it will be dawn, and then you really won’t be able to get out.”
Zhou Chunhua mustered her courage and took the bag.
At that moment, the old woman, with tears in her eyes, revealed a relieved smile.
She turned around and walked over to Wu Tianqi's wife.
"Tao, don't forget, Tongtong is a piece of your flesh, your child! Treating Tongtong well is treating your former self well. Don't let your child become an unhealable wound in your heart; let him become an angel that heals you."
The old woman spoke while stroking the child's head.
She could even see the old woman's longing and reluctance in her back and movements.
Zhou Chunhua began to wonder about the old woman's background.
However, the next moment, the old woman turned and walked towards the iron gate.
"Don't tell me where you're going. Once you've chosen your route, hurry over there and find a secluded corner to hide in. After the people guarding the gate leave, you should leave the village as soon as possible. Please, you must deliver my things."
Zhou Chunhua silently slung the bag over her shoulder.
But then a hoarse whisper came from the side: "Mom..."
When the old woman turned her head to look at her, her eyes were already streaked with tears.
This was the first time she had seen an expression on the old woman's face since she came to Wu Hao's house.
"I've let you down by calling me 'Mom.' If I had just had a little more courage, you wouldn't have been kidnapped and suffered like this. Tao, listen to your mother's last piece of advice."
Don't hate Tongtong. Mom hated Tianqi her whole life, which led him to become like his father. Love Tongtong well, and don't follow the same path Mom took.
After saying that, the old woman turned her back, waved her hand, and resolutely closed the iron gate.
Zhou Chunhua was filled with doubts, but she didn't have time to think about it. She pulled the woman and ran towards the village entrance.
Although she didn't know what Wu Hao's wife was planning to do, the old woman's words, "You don't need to tell me where you're going," gave her a great sense of security.
The village wasn't very big to begin with, and she had walked through it once during the day and made a point of memorizing the route.
Now it's easy to go back.
Wu Tianqi's wife once said that the people guarding the village entrance had guns, so she chose a corner a little far from the village entrance but still able to see some of the activity there and hid there.
Then it's just a matter of waiting quietly.
