Zhou Xun said to Li Yan, "Come down quickly, I'll catch you!"
Li Yan didn't dare to hesitate and immediately jumped down from the wall!
The servant who got up to check looked in the direction of the dog's barking and saw a figure jumping down from the wall.
The servant didn't even bother to hold an umbrella and ran straight to the courtyard where the two were imprisoned. When he ran to the courtyard and looked at the open window, he knew something was wrong and hurried back to the room to wake up the others: "Oh no, those two children have escaped!"
Upon hearing the news, Manager Liu didn't even bother to get dressed, and immediately summoned other servants to chase in the direction the two men fled.
Li Yan jumped down from the wall and was caught by Zhou Xun who had jumped down first. After she stood firm, Li Yan said anxiously, "We've been discovered, let's run quickly." Then, she pulled Zhou Xun and ran away.
It had been raining for most of the day and the road was very muddy. The two men didn't bother to identify the direction and just walked around aimlessly, knowing only that they must not get caught.
The two men quickly ran to a big mountain. Without thinking too much, they climbed up the mountain using their hands and feet. From a distance, they seemed to hear the servants chasing them.
The grass was slippery and muddy, and Zhou Xun suddenly missed a step and rolled down the hillside.
Li Yan watched Zhou Xun rolling down, and also slid down to the place where Zhou Xun rolled down.
Until a big tree blocked their downward momentum.
After stabilizing herself, Li Yan stood up and anxiously asked Zhou Xun, "How are you? Are you okay?"
Zhou Xun accidentally sprained his foot as he slid down the mountain path. It seemed unlikely that he could run like he did just now.
Zhou Xun smiled bitterly: "You go first, I'm afraid I'll get you into trouble!"
Li Yan said anxiously, "That won't work! What if you get caught?"
Zhou Xun comforted Li Yan: "Mr. Liu still relies on me to treat him, he won't make things difficult for me!"
Li Yan directly took Zhou Xun's arm and took him to hide in another dense bush.
Zhou Xun: "Put me down quickly and take me with you. No one of us can escape today!"
Li Yan: "Trust me, I'll put you in the bushes first, and then I'll lead them away! After I lead them away, you have to get down the mountain quickly, in case they react and come back looking for you!"
The mountain road was winding and steep, and the two of them trudged forward with difficulty. Rainwater flowed down from the top of the mountain, and the grass was slippery, making it easy to fall. After Li Yan placed Zhou Xun in a dense patch of grass, she could clearly hear the pursuers not far away.
Li Yan didn't care about what she was thinking and immediately ran to another place, making some noise while running to divert the people chasing her.
The servant heard the noise and raised his lantern. Seeing Li Yan's fleeing figure, he immediately changed direction: "Over there, chase her and bring her back to me!"
A group of people followed Li Yan and chased after her.
Zhou Xun felt bitter when he saw Li Yan exposing her tracks and diverting the pursuers in order to conceal her hiding place.
Li Yan, who was desperately trying to escape, suddenly stopped. There was no way to retreat. A large river appeared in front of her. The pursuers behind her were relentless. Seeing the servants getting closer and closer to her, Li Yan thought to herself, "Is there really no escape today?"
Manager Liu behind him said proudly: "Run again, why don't you run? I think you should be more sensible and follow us back honestly!"
Looking at the servants approaching her, Li Yan jumped into the river without hesitation.
The water rushed, the sound of water gushing, and the cold water made Li Yan's body stiffen. The fast-flowing river carried her downstream. She didn't know where she was going, but she only knew that she had to stay awake.
