The people in front had gone quite far, so Gu Xin reminded Grandma Gu.
Grandma Gu got off the bus, leaning on a wooden cane, and was helped upstairs by Gu Xin.
Gu Xin put the small cart aside.
Ouyang Qing said that she usually put her things in the pavilion where she rested, and no one would take them.
Those who can get out of this checkpoint to do business are all from wealthy families and wouldn't even look at her little cart.
The grandmother and granddaughter walked very slowly; everyone else had finished their checks, but they hadn't even reached their own checkpoint yet.
Those conducting the inspections were already used to it.
One girl even yelled at Gu Xin, "Aqing, next time you should just have your mother wait for you at home. Bringing your mother out like this will only tire you out, and it will tire her out too!"
Ouyang Qing had told Gu Xin that the people at the checkpoint would initiate conversations about unrelated topics, and she only recognized one of them, whose surname was Yuchi.
Gu Xin guessed that this was Yu Chi. She gave a shy smile, glanced at Yu Chi, and then turned to look at Grandma Gu: "My mother can't be without me. Except for this uphill section, I push her around. I've gotten used to it these past two years!"
Yuchi said a few more words, asking whether her goods sold well in Kuncheng this time.
Gu Xin answered each question one by one, and with Grandma Gu's cooperation, she never looked directly at Yu Chi.
Ouyang Qing once said that she rarely communicated with people because she was afraid and dared not look directly at the guards.
Her bangs covered her eyebrows, and there were two short strands of hair by her ears, reaching all the way to her chin.
Gu Xin even cut her hair specifically for this purpose.
With a few facial features drawn on and a special product used on the eyelids, at first glance, the face really looks like Ouyang Qing.
You can't look too closely, but if you look closely you can still see the difference.
However, Ouyang Qing wasn't familiar with these people; as long as they looked similar at first glance, that was enough.
Since the mother and daughter frequented the area, they easily passed through the checkpoint.
Sure enough, the inspectors only glanced at their identification documents as a formality before letting them pass.
After all, this checkpoint is full of business people. A mother and daughter like this, who are only two people, will not be checked. On the contrary, it is the caravans that are easy to sneak in and need to be checked carefully.
No one would have imagined that Gu Xin and her grandson would directly replace the mother and daughter.
Having passed the test safely, Gu Xin felt a cold sweat run down her back.
Upon reaching the summit, one could see the female warriors of the Goddess Kingdom guarding the defensive walls they had built, patrolling back and forth.
The grandmother and grandson went down the mountain again and followed the direction Ouyang Qing had indicated.
Meanwhile, Gu Nian on the other side had already found an opportunity to escape, fearing that things might change if she went too far away.
While the caravan was resting, she excused herself to go to the toilet and went directly to the other forest path that Ouyang Qing had mentioned leading to the agreed location. Once inside, she started circling around, giving incorrect directions so that those who were looking for her later would not be able to find the right way.
Fifteen minutes later, the caravan set off, and no one had yet noticed that Baili Shiliu was not in the group.
When they discovered it and went back to look for it, they followed the traces that Gu Nian had deliberately left behind.
Baili Shiliu had escaped twice before, so the Baili family didn't notice anything unusual. They just thought that the girl hadn't been beaten enough, so when they found her again, they broke both her legs.
It's a pity they didn't have the chance.
It was already dark when the three of them finally met up in the uninhabited mountain, as agreed upon.
All three of them were relieved that nothing bad had happened.
Gu Nian's sense of relief wasn't as strong as Grandma Gu's or Gu Xin's, because she firmly believed that Gu Xin had good luck and would turn danger into safety, as long as she met Gu Xin.
