Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

In the mountains, bears are incredibly dangerous beasts. Not only can they smack a strong man to death with a single blow, but they're also as cunning and cruel as humans. To put it bluntly, if you kneel down and beg for mercy against a barbarian, you might just get beaten to death, but at least you'll save your life. But against a bear, not only will you lose your life, you might even have to watch it chew you up bit by bit.

Any fool knows how to choose.

The dark-skinned sister has been working in the fields all year round and has a lot of strength. At this moment, her feet seemed to be equipped with horse hooves. She was almost dying from chasing Qiaoqiao, and the old lady in the middle was almost falling apart.

Qiaoqiao swallowed the bloody smell in her throat and cried out, "Liu, Sister Liu, let's slow down..."

The dark-skinned elder sister glanced back briefly and immediately cursed, "Those sons of bitches are catching up! Xiaoying! Run as fast as you can, and I'll make you some candy when we get back to the city!"

Qiaoqiao was so sad that she could not even cry.

But people are still made of flesh and blood. When they are truly exhausted, even if they are chased by the gods, let alone bears and barbarians, they can't move a step further. The old lady's pace slowed down first, and Qiaoqiao's legs felt like they were filled with thousands of pounds of lead.

The dark-skinned elder sister gritted her teeth, stamped her feet, and stopped walking, turning around with her hands tightly gripping a thick branch. Her arms trembled as she screamed with a ferocious look on her face, "Come on! Bastard! I'll kill anyone who comes! Don't think I don't dare to take action!"

Before her was a series of barbarians running and shouting.

But before the fight got to the bitter end, Cheng Mao and Lin Chuqi descended from the sky, knocking several barbarians flying with a few punches. Cheng Mao immediately carried the old woman on his back and said, "We're getting further away from the city. We can't run back like this. We need to find some shelter first."

The dark-skinned sister was delighted to be rescued, but upon hearing this, she became anxious again: "Where can we hide in this mountain? There's not even a tree hole!"

"I know one."

The old lady, almost exhausted, raised her finger tremblingly and pointed in a direction: "Right over there, there is a tunnel that the princess dug some time ago. It leads directly to the city."

Seeing that the next group of barbarians were about to catch up, the few of them didn't think twice and ran in that direction.

The tunnel the old woman mentioned was inside a long-abandoned land temple. Before they even entered, Cheng Mao put the old woman down and pushed the other four people inside. He stayed outside and closed the door.

Qiaoqiao exclaimed, "Brother Cheng!"

Cheng Mao's voice came through the thin door: "You go first!"

The barbarians outside could chase them at any time, and they might even attract the bear. It was a critical moment, and there was no time for hesitation. Lin Chuqi gritted his teeth, grabbed the big wooden stick next to him and bolted the door, and shouted to the old lady, "Hurry and find a tunnel!"

Without him saying anything, the old lady was already feeling for the base of the Earth God. The dark-skinned lady asked, "How are we looking? Let me help you! Xiaoying! Come and help!"

Qiaoqiao ran over immediately.

"Find a small crescent moon, about the size of a fingertip, concave." The old lady recalled the past as she searched, her hands slowing down. "At that time, the princess was only ten years old and hadn't married the prince yet. She came to Ningzhou for a full six months and dug a lot of tunnels. She took your brother, your sister and other children to play in the tunnels. Sometimes when it got dark, we saw that these children hadn't returned home, so we went to the tunnels to catch them. We always caught one. It was really good back then. Who would have thought that time would pass so quickly. Now even a little kid like you has a child."

The dark-skinned elder sister's eyes darkened: "This old lady still has the leisure to say this useless thing!"

The base wasn't very large, and Qiaoqiao quickly found a crescent mark. She quickly called the old lady over to see it. She pressed a few buttons near the crescent. The mechanism wasn't complicated; a three-year-old could probably remember it after seeing it once. Immediately, a stepping stone opened with a rumbling sound directly below the crescent, leading down.

The sound of fighting began to rise outside the door. The dark-skinned elder sister pushed the old lady in without hesitation, then dragged Qiaoqiao and Lin Chuqi in as well, and shouted to the outside: "Brother Cheng!"

But Cheng Mao didn't come in for a long time.

Suddenly the old lady cried out "Ouch!" The dark-skinned lady hurriedly asked what happened. The old lady said in panic, "I don't know how to close the door from the inside!"

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat at once.

The door cannot be closed from the inside, which means someone has to stay outside to close the door.

The dark-skinned elder sister slapped the wall vigorously and said hurriedly, "Hurry and find it! It's impossible that the door can't be closed! There are bears and barbarians outside. Anyone who stays will die, no matter how high Brother Cheng's martial arts skills are!"

Qiaoqiao and Lin Chuqi followed suit and banged on the wall, but their hands were covered with bricks and dirt, with no trace of any mechanism.

"Don't look for it anymore. It's not something we can find easily." The old lady sighed, her expression gradually calming down. "I'll go and close the door. I'm already one foot in the coffin. I've lived to this point and it's enough. I won't be greedy for more."

Lin Chuqi rejected it without a second thought: "No, if anyone has to go, I'll go. I might not be able to outrun the barbarians."

The dark-skinned sister bit her lips and said nothing, rubbing and searching on the wall all the time.

Qiaoqiao suddenly bent her fingers and tapped the wall: "There's hope."

The dark-skinned elder sister asked in surprise, "Did you find it?"

"Building a tunnel is not much different from building a house. I've found the key, but I still need to look outside to know."

Qiaoqiao stepped out and accidentally tripped on the ground step. She touched the small crescent moon and shouted to the tunnel: "Stand back, I'll give it a try."

The dark-skinned elder sister pulled Lin Chuqi and the old lady a few steps back and said in delight, "Xiaoying is amazing! She even knows how to use the mechanism. This girl is really versatile."

The old lady also had a kind face.

Only Lin Chuqi turned her head away: "It's better not to count on her. Think of other ways. She has never tinkered with the mechanism before..."

The door slammed shut, and the tunnel was suddenly plunged into darkness.

Lin Chuqi was stunned for a moment.

No, the house is static, the mechanism is dynamic. The two are completely different. Qiaoqiao has never tinkered with the mechanism before, so how could she dare to say there was a chance? What kind of a chance?

Unless she wanted to stay behind to cover their retreat from the very beginning!

After realizing what was happening, Lin Chuqi's blood boiled, and he slammed the door shut, yelling, "Qiaoqiao! Open the door! Qiaoqiao!"

A faint voice came from the other side of the door. Lin Chuqi tilted his head and pressed his ear against the door to listen carefully. He heard Qiaoqiao's voice: "You guys go first. I'm the lightest. Brother Cheng will lead me and it will be easier to use my Qinggong skills later."

Lin Chuqi: "You take my place! I'm not much heavier than you!"

"The seventh day of the first lunar month!" Qiaoqiao's voice suddenly rose, and even though it sounded hazy through the heavy door, "It's already this late, and you still want to argue with me, little kid? I'm your sister!"

"I don't recognize you! Open the door for me!"

"It's no use denying it! Seniority is a killer! Come out and bite me if you dare!"

"White Firefly!"

No matter how much he shouted, there was no response from the other side. Lin Chuqi was so angry that he punched the stone door, and the flesh on his joints broke and blood seeped out.
