After Song Ruan returned, he immediately packed up his things and resigned from his job with the boss's wife.
"You're quitting so soon?"
The boss's wife was a little reluctant to hear that she was leaving. After all, she was hardworking and didn't ask for any wages.
"Have you found the relative you want to seek refuge with?"
Song Ruan nodded: "Yes, I found it. It's in Wadi Town."
"Wadi Town!" exclaimed the proprietress.
She quickly pulled Song Ruan aside and asked in a low voice, "My girl, have you been deceived? How come your relatives are in Wadi Town?"
"I found out that it's there. I have to go there anyway."
"Then how are you going?"
"Someone will take me there."
"Oh, you are such a worrying child." The proprietress looked as if she was certain that she was being cheated.
But when she saw that Song Ruan was determined to leave, she knew she couldn't persuade him.
"Wait for me."
The proprietress gave an instruction, then went in to find paper and pen and wrote something, then tore off the note and handed it to her.
“To go to Wadi Town, we usually sneak there by water, and the same is true when we come back.
I have heard a little about that place. You must remember not to cause trouble when you go there and don't dress to attract attention.
If you encounter a robbery or something, just give the money and don't argue with the person.
Also, don't keep your money in just one place, like in shoes, socks, clothes, or pants. Just sew a little money in each place.
In this way, even if someone steals the money, they can only take part of it.
Then there is this note. If you want to come back from Wadi Town, go to this address to find a man named San Ge.
This person specializes in smuggling. Compared to other people who do this job, some of them extort money from the smugglers but do not do any work. This third brother has a good reputation and does not do this.
It's just that his price is high, and he doesn't take this kind of job often. If you want to come back someday, you can try your luck there."
"Yeah, okay." Song Ruan nodded in thanks.
Then she took out a watch from her bag and put it in the boss lady's hand.
"Don't you always have trouble managing your working time? This watch is for you. It's an old one, so please don't despise it. Thank you for your care these past few days, and thank you for what you just said to me."
After Song Ruan finished speaking, she turned and walked out.
The proprietress was left standing there in a daze.
You know, this is the farthest border from the prosperous city!
Hot goods like watches are simply not available in their area.
She had always wanted a watch so she could check time while working. The owner of the shop next door got a watch and showed off to her for several months.
Thinking of this, the proprietress lowered her head and took a closer look.
“Hey hey! Isn’t this the Phoenix brand watch!!”
The proprietress called out and hurried out, but Song Ruan was nowhere to be seen on the street.
After Song Ruan came out, he first had a good meal to replenish his energy.
Then I went to buy some steamed buns, cakes, candies, biscuits, canned food, and other foods that can be stored for a long time.
She had to be prepared that she might not be able to enter the space easily in the next few days, let alone cook in it, so she had to prepare enough dry food.
The time came to evening.
Song Ruan took off all the valuables on his body and took off the watch on his wrist.
She only left a water cup, a steamed bun and a few cents in her bag, and put everything else into the space.
After making these preparations, she went to the meeting place that Xiang Yin mentioned.
When she was almost there, a child on the road suddenly bumped into her on purpose.
Song Ruan dodged while protecting her belly, and the child fell towards her again. Then, a note was stuffed into her hand.
Song Ruan frowned and was just about to find a place to open it to see what it was when she heard a call from not far ahead.
"Song Ruan, here!"
It’s Xiang Yin.
Song Ruan threw the note into the space imperceptibly and walked over.
"Are you okay? I just saw a kid bumping into you on purpose." Xiang Yin asked.
His eyes remained on Song Ruan's face, observing her expression.
"I don't know, it must have been an accident." Song Ruan said calmly.
Xiang Yin stared at her and smiled: "That's good, let's go, let's go downstairs and gather first."
They were now in an open area with a large banyan tree next to it.
There was a winding path behind the banyan tree, and Xiang Yin took her down along this path.
After going down, we walked along a muddy path before arriving in front of a house.
It is called a house, but it is just a small square shed made of mud, wood and thatch.
When they opened the door and went in, there were already about ten people inside. When they saw Song Ruan and Xiang Yin come in, the leader just said that he would wait for more people and then said nothing else.
"I'll go out for some fresh air first." Song Ruan said hello and turned to leave.
After Song Ruan came out, she took out the note and opened it.
"Don't go with Xiang Yin. I suspect this incident is related to him. He will kill Yang Bin and he will kill you too."
These are the words on the note.
After reading it, Song Ruan frowned.
She could guess that the note was written by Xiangdong.
But why didn't he dare to show up, but instead asked a child to deliver the message?
And, why at this juncture?
When Song Ruan was deep in thought, she suddenly heard light footsteps. She shuddered and calmly put the note away.
"What are you doing here?" Xiang Yin's voice sounded faintly from behind.
Song Ruan turned around and said calmly, "I'm getting some fresh air. It's too small inside and there are too many people. It's very stuffy."
"I see, that's true." Xiang Yin smiled, "I always forgot to ask you, do you know Xiang Dong?"
He walked up to Song Ruan and looked straight into her eyes.
"Come to think of it, Yang Bin's accident is also related to Xiang Dong. It's because of him that the current situation has occurred. The higher-ups are looking for him. If you know any news about Xiang Dong, you must tell me."
