These days she was forced to live in that narrow carriage and had to be alert at all times.
Not only did she have to prevent them from discovering that she was pretending to be blind, but she also had to drop one or two clues from time to time to ensure that Jian Anhe would not hurt her.
Su Man's eyelids drooped as she suddenly relaxed.
She had a dream.
In her dream, she kept running. The sweet and fishy taste in her throat and her heavy breathing showed that her physical strength had reached its limit.
A familiar voice came from not far away.
"Don't run away. You know you can't get away."
Jian Anhe's voice was as gentle as ever, but to her ears it sounded like the devil's call.
She didn't stop, even though her thigh muscles were so sore that they felt like they were being torn apart.
But even though she ran as hard as she could, the sound behind her was getting closer and closer.
She had to hide behind a broken wall. For fear that her breathing would reveal her whereabouts, she covered her mouth with her hands, completely ignoring the stuffy feeling in her chest that seemed to be about to explode.
At this moment, she seemed to see the passage of time. She closed her eyes and prayed that she could escape.
Time passed minute by minute, and just when she thought she had touched the door to freedom, a ghostly voice exploded in her ears.
"I got you."
“.......”
Suman woke up from her dream.
She held her pounding chest and silently digested the remaining fear in her body.
This must be Yan Ling'er's true feeling towards Jian Anhe: fear and disgust.
So even if she lost her memory, her body still rejected him.
Outside the window, it was already dark. It seemed that she had slept for a long time.
Suman felt sore in her shoulders and back after sleeping for a long time. She stood up while moving her arms.
The food on the table had already gone cold. Mei Xiu must have seen that she was asleep and didn't wake her up.
Su Man sat at the table and picked up some edible food for Mimi and made a plate for her.
Just as Mimi was eating hard, Suman heard a noise in the corridor outside the door.
She tiptoed to the door and peeked through the crack.
Through the narrow gap, she could see a woman in a black hooded cloak slip into the room opposite her.
Then, Jian Anhe stuck his head out of the door and looked around. After confirming that there was no one there, he retreated back into the house.
...
Is this person Linlang?
Su Man felt strange. Linlang had been staying indoors since they set out on the journey, and she did the same now that she was at the inn.
Why?
Is she hiding from someone?
Could it be Zuo Yan? Su Man thought it was impossible. Zuo Yan could be injured by Jian Anhe, so he was not a big threat. There was no need to be so scared.
However, Zuo Yan had said before that Linlang was a Miao witch.
Now think about it, how did she, a Miao witch, come to the Central Plains, join the Chixia Sect, and collude with Jian Anhe.
It seems that there is much more to Linlang's story than she imagined.
