Ten diligent days: the fields are still

The only chance to ask for help was gone. Yuan Lai felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained away. He collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball.

"It's over..." She muttered to herself, as if she had lost all hope. Without the location jade ring Qi Rong gave her, even if Qi Rong had great ability, he probably wouldn't be able to find her.

She knew that she was in a desperate situation and there was no way for her and Qingtian to escape.

The rain subsided. Yuan Lai looked up at the foggy forest outside, and a deep sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart. She didn't know how to face her future, and she didn't know if there was still a glimmer of hope waiting for her.

Qingtian ran to the crack in the door and imitated Yuan Lai in looking out. "This place is similar to Houdoumen. Look at that row of big trees. They are as green as those at Houdoumen. I walked out along this road. Yuan Lai, don't be afraid. Once I break open this door, we can go home."

Yuan Lai shook his head silently in his heart. It didn't look like Qingtian could break down the door.

Qingtian didn't seem to realize the problem, she began to hit the door with her body, but the door didn't budge. After trying several times, Qingtian found that she couldn't open the door, so she started kicking the door.

However, the door still did not respond. Except for the gap being a little bigger, the rest of the door was intact.

"I'm so tired, Yuan Lai, I'm really so tired..." Qingtian said weakly, dragging her heavy steps, looking around for a place to rest. Finally, she saw a clean cardboard box, and without hesitation, she lay down, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

Yuan Lai's mind was a mess at the moment, a tangled web of thoughts and emotions swirling around, leaving her feeling incredibly exhausted. She recalled everything she'd experienced since crossing over, and suddenly realized that if only she hadn't turned on the show, she'd probably be happily watching it at home, enjoying the air conditioning and snacks.

Instead of being like now, not only did he become a cat, but he was also in danger and unable to save himself.

"Sunny, I'm tired too."

However, even though her eyelids were already fighting, Yuan Lai's heart still couldn't calm down. She knew that at this moment, she must not close her eyes.

Gradually, Qingtian's breathing became steady, and it was obvious that he had fallen into a deep sleep.

Yuan Lai carefully pried open a crack and took a closer look. She found that the weeds outside the warehouse were very lush, but due to the moisture of the rain, they all drooped dejectedly.

Yuan Lai noticed something buried in the grass that looked like a boundary marker. She strained her eyes to discern it, and could vaguely make out two characters inscribed on the marker: "Wangshan."

Wangshan, located at the junction of Hunan and Guangdong, is a famous tourist destination, a thousand miles away from Houdoumen. However, the warehouse where she was imprisoned was clearly an undeveloped wilderness, with no trace of tourists.

Soon, Qi Rong and Su De came down the mountainside one after another, and Xia Niu followed behind with a smile.

The three of them talked and laughed along the way, but Qi Rong walked in a hurry and did not intend to stay with Kanxia for too long.

But at this time, Yuan Lai didn't care about the pain in her body. She slammed the wooden door hard, hoping to attract Qi Rong's attention.

She knew this was her last chance to be rescued, so she had to find a way to make Qi Rong hear her voice.

However, the rain and wind were so loud that the sound of the wooden door being knocked on was like a stone falling into the sea.

Perhaps it was a telepathic connection, or perhaps it was a subconscious reaction, but Yuan Lai saw Qi Rong turn his head and look in her direction.

Yuan Lai was excited and knocked on the door even louder.

However, he took a few quick steps under the niche, blocking Qi Rong's sight in time, and also used the slippery road to distract the two people's attention.

"Master Huaxuan, please walk slowly. It rains all year round here, and the road is covered with moss. Don't fall!"

Yuan Lai didn't know whether the words under the awning were a deliberate warning to her, but she absolutely could not watch her last chance slip away.

Yuan Lai stretched out his claws and reached up for the big iron lock, hoping to make a louder sound.

The iron lock was opened with a key, and Yu Lao appeared in Yuan Lai's sight. "It's useless for you to do this. There's no way anyone will find you under the niche."

The plan failed, and Yuan Lai was so anxious that he almost crawled out from between the old man's shoes.

Unfortunately, he was caught in the end.

Old Yu put down the box he was holding, took out a syringe from it, and injected Yuan Lai with it without saying a word, "It's time to change the medicine."

"You..." Yuan Lai wanted to say something else, but under the effect of the anesthetic, his consciousness quickly disappeared.

When she woke up again, she saw Sunny Day eating grass.

"Are you awake? How do you feel?"

Yuan Lai saw that the bandage on his body had been replaced with a new one. The wound must have been treated with some medicine to stop the bleeding.

Looking around, Yuan Lai found that they had been moved to another place. It was no longer a dark, damp and dilapidated warehouse, but a warm and comfortable study.

"It was that old man who brought us here. He also changed your medicine. He seemed like a good man."

A good guy? Yuan Lai didn't believe it. The old man and the man under the niche were obviously in the same group. Now one was playing the good cop and the other the bad cop. It was obviously caused by the uneven distribution of benefits.

Now the old man seems to be rescuing her, but maybe in the future he will hand her and Qingtian over in exchange for more generous benefits.

Just as they were thinking about it, the wall of the study suddenly moved. Yuan Lai and Qingtian took a few steps back and saw Yu Lao pushing the door in.

"Are you awake? It seems the special medicine is of some use. It's worth all my efforts. Come, let's eat. I bought food from the family down the mountain."

Looking at the prawns in front of him, Yuan Lai wanted to rub his eyes, wondering if he was seeing things. The food was too good.

On sunny days, the grass is the freshest, and it is obvious that it is raised by the farmers themselves to feed the sheep.

But Qingtian looked at the grass and didn't move a bit.

"Kanxia was very angry today and asked me to get rid of you as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble. But I felt that since his goal had been achieved, why bother to kill you all? So I rescued you two. Now I'm hiding you in my study in my old home. I'll go over to Kanxia and see if it's okay."

Old Yu sat down at the desk and continued, "Today, Lord Huaxuan came looking for someone and asked with great certainty if it was Kanxia. Kanxia twisted his neck and pretended to be dumb. But judging by your reaction, I think you know Lord Huaxuan. I don't want to get too involved in the grudges between you two. I'm just wondering when you'll give birth to that thing again."

That thing? Yuan Lai thought carefully, could it be the thing taken from her body under the niche?
