"I'll pick some vines from our mountain to tie it up," Song Tantan said softly.
"Remember to remove the leaves from the vine." As for whether it would arouse suspicion, they didn't care that much. Anyway, they pretended not to know, and no one would guess where the vine came from.
Once the simple plank was ready, Song Zhuiyan and another woman who wasn't carrying a child took turns pulling Zhong Qingyi along. The group walked and stopped frequently, and it took them more than an hour to reach the small village.
