He Yuhan didn't want the women she saved to see her true face, so she changed her makeup, put on large black-rimmed glasses that almost covered half of her face, and applied makeup to make herself look more ordinary.
She placed several prepared backpacks by the door and then opened the door to the room where several women were locked.
The women in the room heard the shouts outside and stood up. They were startled when they saw a woman enter.
He Yuhan glanced at the six women; they all seemed quite young, mostly girls. If she didn't take care of them, their fate would be either certain death or eternal confinement on the island, unless the bandits on the island were wiped out while they were still alive.
He Yuhan could tell that these girls all came from good families, and if they stayed on this island, their lives would be ruined.
He Yuhan said, "Hello, my name is Han Yu. I'm here to rescue you. There's no time to explain now. If you want to leave, come with me."
One of the girls, who had an Asian appearance, was the first to say, "I'll go with you."
Everyone else said they would go with He Yuhan.
He Yuhan quickly untied the girls and said, "There is food and water that I have prepared for each of you at the door. You will need it after we go out to sea. Each of you should carry one."
The group didn't have time to think much; they were willing to do anything as long as someone could rescue them.
The girls quickly walked out of the room, picked up their backpacks, and were all grateful to the woman who had come to their rescue for being so thoughtful. In this moment of escaping for their lives, none of them were coy and they all carried large backpacks and followed behind He Yuhan.
He Yuhan also carried a large backpack as cover. Seeing that the girls were obedient, she led a few people towards the dock under the cover of night.
Behind them were shouts of "Fire!" from the village; for the moment, no one cared about the women who had just been arrested that day.
He Yuhan's backpack was quite heavy because she was worried that there would be no food or water on the boat and she wouldn't have a chance to cheat, so she had to prepare it in advance.
The group was panting heavily after running all the way, but they all knew that escaping was the priority, so they persevered desperately.
Here, everyone is just a stranger meeting by chance, and no one will stop to wait for someone else, because every minute wasted increases the danger.
Fortunately, the dock wasn't too far away, and the group managed to get there.
The dock was quiet at this moment, and under the bright moonlight, some boats could be vaguely seen moored there. These boats were of various sizes, and since He Yuhan couldn't drive, she could only choose a smaller seagoing vessel.
She turned to the several girls behind her, who were bent over and panting, and said, "Let me make this clear first, I can't drive a boat, so I can only choose a smaller seagoing vessel. If you want, you can come with me. If not, you can choose other boats, or you can choose to go back."
One of the tall foreign girls said, "Hello, Miss Han Yu, my name is Lisa. I can drive a boat. We can choose a larger boat, which would be safer."
Upon hearing this, He Yuhan exclaimed excitedly, "Really? You can operate these ships?"
The tall girl nodded and said, "My family owns a fleet of ships, and I'm interested in sailing, so I learned how to sail and occasionally go out to sea. I shouldn't have any problem operating these ships."
He Yuhan said, "That's great, Miss Lisa. From now on, we'll rely on you to drive the boat. Which boat do you think is suitable for us?"
Lisa pointed to a medium-sized boat on the dock and said, "The larger ones are too difficult for several of us to handle, so that medium-sized one is just right."
He Yuhan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you and we'll get on that ship."
He Yuhan then had a few people board the small boats moored at the dock, and the small boats rowed towards the boat that Lisa had chosen.
After approaching the ship, He Yuhan boarded it first, and then pulled everyone onto the large ship, tying the small boat to the stern.
Lisa certainly knew how to operate a ship, and she was the first to go to the cockpit to check it out. The others followed her into the cockpit as well.
He Yuhan took this opportunity to go to other cabins and fill the water tanks with water. She also put some food in the food cabin, enough for the few of them to eat.
Now that they were on the boat, everyone felt a little more at ease but also very excited, as they were about to escape this small island.
Lisa looked around, then weighed anchor, started the ship, and steered it away from the dock.
When everyone saw that the ship had actually started moving and left the dock, they cheered and then hugged each other, crying tears of joy.
The girl named Li Shu cried, "We really escaped. We can go home. I thought I was going to die here for the rest of my life."
The girl named Meilin said, "Don't cry, we've already left here, we'll go back safely."
Lisa, steering the boat excitedly, said, "We will definitely get home safely. We have to thank Miss Han Yu this time. If it weren't for Miss Han Yu saving us, we wouldn't have been able to escape that hellhole."
Upon hearing this, everyone expressed their gratitude to He Yuhan.
He Yuhan said, "We are all in the same boat, and I need your help too. Let's work together to get back safely."
He Yuhan rescued a total of six people. They introduced themselves to each other. Apart from Lisa, who could drive the boat, the others were named Li Shu, Meilin, Zhao Mingjuan, Feier, and Moli.
After everyone introduced themselves, He Yuhan asked Lisa, "Miss Lisa, can you tell directions?"
Lisa nodded and said, "Don't worry, there's no problem."
He Yuhan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Even with some tools, she might have lost her way at sea on her own, and she didn't know when she would be able to return. It was truly fortunate to have someone knowledgeable about navigation; this was everyone's good fortune.
He Yuhan then asked, "Where are you headed? I can go with you first."
Lisa said, "Our destination is G City, what about you?"
He Yuhan said, "Then I'll go to G City first."
Li Shu asked, "Miss Han Yu, how did you end up on this island?"
He Yuhan replied, "I wasn't captured and brought to this island. I was captured by my enemies and taken to a ship. Later, we encountered a storm at sea, and the ship eventually sank. At that time, our ship was probably not far from this island. I grabbed onto a plank and survived by being carried to this island by the waves."
I always hid in the shadows, stealing snacks at night.
Later, I discovered that everyone on this island was a bad guy, so I kept quiet. Today, seeing you all captured, I decided to rescue you and we all escaped together. Luckily, we escaped quite smoothly.
