She turned and went into the room, and the man immediately followed. The two whispered to each other in the room, but Lian Zhi couldn't hear them very clearly.
But she had a general idea of what the couple was planning, and realized that they couldn't stay there any longer.
The sky was beginning to lighten with the first light of dawn.
Lian Zhi stuffed the flatbread from the table in the room into her backpack, gently opened the door, and walked out into the courtyard.
Just as they stepped out of the yard, they heard a noise coming from the couple's room, as if someone was about to come out.
Lian Zhi quickly picked up the little one in her arms and ran off. When the village dogs saw someone passing by, they barked loudly, their barks echoing throughout the village, carrying a sense of warning and vigilance.
As soon as the woman came out, she saw the half-open courtyard gate and heard the barking of dogs, so she hurriedly ran towards Lian Zhi's room.
Upon discovering the room was empty, a shrill voice rang out: "Oh no, they've escaped!"
Hearing the noise, the man quickly came out of the house, and the two hurriedly chased after him.
Lian Zhi struggled to run while carrying the person, and the shouts coming from behind her grew closer and closer. She knew she couldn't escape like this.
Seeing a fork in the road, she hurried to the main road on the left, carefully hid the person in her arms under a big tree, and took off her coat to cover him.

Lian Zhi ran desperately, disappearing into the woods beside the road.
The sky was completely bright.
Lian Zhi returned to the original place according to her memory, but the little figure under the tree was gone.
"No!" Lian Zhi cried out in anguish, screaming with all her might, "Young Master, Young Master, where are you..."
She frantically searched everywhere, hoping to find some trace, but the forest was quiet and there was no one in sight. In the end, she collapsed, powerless.
At this moment, she had no strength left. She had failed her mistress's expectations and lost the young master.
No, it shouldn't be like this.
Her voice was raspy, a hoarse whisper: "Lian Zhi deserves to die, Miss, Lian Zhi deserves to die..."
The collapse then engulfed her entire being.
Her eyelids drooped uncontrollably, and Lian Zhi finally closed her eyes and collapsed.
"Miss, young master..."
"Lian Zhi deserves to die..."
