Upon hearing this, Yu Ruyue secretly pinched her thigh, her lips pursed, tears welling up in her eyes. "Uncle Wen! Do you also feel that after something like this happened, I don't deserve to live?"

"Should I hang myself with a white silk scarf?!"

"Actually, I also feel like I shouldn't be happy and shouldn't go shopping, but whenever I stay alone in the house, I'll think of that day when my father-in-law pounced on me like a wild beast in heat, spewing obscenities and looking as if he wanted to eat me alive."

"I was so scared that I could only go for a walk outside..."

Yu Ruyue increased the strength of her hands, and tears immediately flowed down.

Wen Mo suddenly panicked and wanted to persuade him, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.

All I could see was Yu Ruyue crying so hard that she finally ran into the house and locked herself up tightly.

Wen Mo let out a long sigh. He was really annoyed when he saw his confidant being arrested for the crime of flower thief in the government office today.

But even though he doubted the little girl, he also felt sorry for her and didn't want to hurt her.

In the end, he could only turn this guilt into motivation, go find the Tongzhi and urge him to do the job.

On the third day, Yu Ruyue made money in the morning as usual, and went out in disguise to buy a bunch of things in the afternoon. This time, she saw Wen Mo again.

Yu Ruyue enthusiastically stuffed the cakes she had bought into Wen Mo's hands, "Uncle Wen! Thank you for your hard work. These are cakes I bought specially for you from the west side of the city. You must try them. I heard they are even better than those in the south."

Wen Mo looked at the pastries in his hand and suddenly remembered what the Tongzhi said to him today.

"Go back and tell that little girl that it's his good fortune that he can't get out."

Wen Mo looked at the pair of expectant eyes in front of him, but he couldn't say anything.

If it is considered good fortune for that boy, then what is it for the little girl in front of him?

She risked everything to save someone, and in the end, all she got was a word of fate? Those in power are always like this...

When Yu Ruyue saw Wen Mo just looking at her without saying a word, her heart slowly sank.

"Is there nothing the Tongzhi can do?"

Wen Mo sighed, "Hey! Let's go back!"

"He won't die, but he won't go back either!"

"After all, he's just your uncle, not your biological brother. You've done the most you can."

He thought about it, and finally couldn't help but suggest: "Take your family to the south! Life there might be better!"

Yu Ruyue didn't expect that even after coming here, she still couldn't save Shen Chou...

Is it possible that no matter how hard she tries, she can't change his fate? What about her and her parents' fate...

"Boss! It's bad! The refugees in the north of the city are rioting, and our porridge stall has been overturned!"

When Wen Mo heard this, he had no time to comfort Yu Ruyue. He just patted her shoulder, then turned around and ran away.

With this slap, Yu Ruyue finally came back to her senses.

She couldn't go on like this, she had to take her family away quickly. Since Shen Chou would be successful in the future, there was no need for her to put her family in danger for a man.

After all, the current Shen Chou is just Shen Chou, not her Shen Zhiheng.

Thinking of this, she quickly packed up her things and took advantage of the chaos to leave the city gate. However, since it was daytime now, she did not take out her car, but took out her long-forgotten electric scooter. This electric scooter was very quiet to ride and was not slow at all.

She can ride while observing the situation ahead. If there is someone, she will quickly put the electric scooter into the space and walk. If there is no one, she will take it out again.

She rode like this until night. She was really tired, so she came to the foot of a mountain, slipped directly into the space, and prepared to have a good rest.

But as soon as she entered, she heard a noisy sound outside.

"Something's wrong. I clearly saw a little girl here, why is there no one here?"

"Did you see things? How could a little girl be walking alone in the wilderness? Stop talking nonsense! Our boss is ready and will raid the government office in the next two days! If you cause trouble and those corrupt officials find out, the boss will definitely cut you into pieces and throw you to the wolves."

Although Yu Ruyue could not see the situation outside in this space, she could clearly hear the sounds outside.

They seemed to be right where they had just entered the space.

"Damn it! I clearly saw it, and that little girl was riding a particularly strange thing. I was thinking of tying her up, letting the brothers have fun, and then presenting that thing to the boss!"

"Don't overthink it! Let's go back! If the boss finds out we went down the mountain without permission, he'll be in for another fight."

Yu Ruyue's heart was pounding as if it was about to jump out of her throat.

Want to attack the government office?!

Who are these people?

Is it related to the Tongpan (Tongpan)? Or is it related to the Tongzhi (Tongzhi)?

What role did the prefect play in this?

You know, this place is close to Ninggutai, where fugitives gather!

If they succeed in their sneak attack on the government office, what will happen next?

Yu Ruyue didn't dare to think about it. She held her breath, afraid of making any noise. Even when she heard footsteps leaving, she still didn't go out.

Sure enough, after about an incense stick of time, those people returned to their original place again.

"Strange! There's really no one here?"

"Did I see it wrong?"

"Let's go quickly. If we don't go back now, we'll miss the evening training!"

The two of them confirmed that there was really no one in the place, and then they left completely muttering.

When Yu Ruyue heard the conversation between the two people outside, her legs went weak and her heart almost jumped out. Fortunately, she was more careful and did not go out.

But the word "training soldiers" hit her heart like a heavy hammer.

It's impossible for bandits to train every night, so they can only be soldiers...

Yu Ruyue didn't dare to go out. She first had a simple meal in the space and charged the electric car. After about an hour, she made sure that no one was coming, and then she quietly came out of the space.

However, when she first came out, she did not ride her beloved electric scooter, nor did she take out her bike. She just walked quietly, trying her best to reduce her presence.

Only when she was far away from the mountain did she take out her electric scooter again.

She also wanted to drive, but when she went back, she could clearly feel that there were more and more refugees on the road.

If you drive, it will be easy to be discovered, so it is better to use a small electric scooter.

that's it!

She rode non-stop all night and finally arrived back when the city gates opened.

The first thing she did when she came back was go to the government office.

Zhao Hui looked at Yu Ruyue, whose hair was disheveled and eyes were bloodshot, and asked worriedly, "Ruyue! What's wrong with you?"

Yu Ruyue swallowed hard and said, "Please tell the county magistrate that I'm willing to discuss the noodle factory with him, as long as I can see Shen Chou one last time!"
