He suppressed the discomfort in his heart, climbed over the "mountain of corpses" and crawled out of the dog hole.

He stumbled a few steps, then leaned against the wall and began to vomit violently. Only after he had vomited out the stomach acid did the suffocating nausea in his throat disappear.

At this time, the lantern festival had ended and the people on the road had dispersed.

The faint moonlight poured down on the stone road, and everything around was quiet.

To the west is "Flowers in Bloom, Wealth and Prosperity." Ruan Chuyin hesitated at the intersection for a long time, then resolutely turned back and walked east.

With only thirty taels of silver in her arms, covered in dirt and helpless, she was determined to go to Xuesong Town, to Yilan Pavilion. She had no relatives around, and she trusted no one except Song Botang.

"Beauty, why are you alone on the street? Where is your husband?" A gruff voice came unexpectedly from behind.

Ruan Chuyin turned around suddenly and her heart stopped beating instantly.

She saw a thin middle-aged man smiling obscenely at her, and his big hand suddenly retracted the moment she turned around.

"Damn, so ugly?" Zhang San stared at Ruan Chuyin's face in disbelief. When had such a shabby woman appeared in their town? Where did she pop out from?

Seeing that the woman was about to run, he subconsciously took a step forward to block her way.

"You...what do you want to do?" Ruan Chuyin looked at his malicious face and was so scared that her tongue got tied.

"Brother, why don't we change someone else? This woman is too ugly and I can't eat her." At some point, another person jumped out from the alley on the side.

Ruan Chuyin looked in the direction of the voice and saw the man wearing tattered linen clothes, with a pointed face and monkey cheeks, and two dark eyes. He was staring at her up and down with a look of disgust.

"It's like turning off the lights. As long as the baby can be born, it's fine. Take him back first." Zhang San sighed heavily and was about to grab the person.

Orange shadows drifted across the night sky. In a moment of desperation, Ruan Chuyin plucked out a hairpin and stabbed the intruder fiercely. When she pulled it out, the jade-leaf hairpin was stained with bright red blood, gleaming faintly in the moonlight.

The screams were like the roar of a wild beast in the forest. Ruan Chuyin took advantage of the moment of pain and ran away.

Zhang San had never thought that a woman could be so brave and fierce. He shouted, covered his right shoulder and chased after the orange color.

Li Si was shocked for a while before he reacted and immediately followed.

I didn't check the almanac before going out today, and I ran into a fierce woman. Let's see how they deal with her when they catch her.

"Is there anyone here? Help me, help me!" Ruan Chuyin banged on the closed doors of shops along the way. One shop had its lights on, but there was no response.

She didn't dare run into the alley, fearing she'd never get out. Sweat dripped down her forehead, and she ignored the pain in her ankle and ran forward with all her might.

The two people behind her were moving very fast, and just as they were about to catch up, a carriage suddenly came into view. At that moment, she felt like she had discovered an oasis in the vast desert, and she rushed in without hesitation.

Yu Dingji looked at the uninvited guest in surprise and smiled playfully.

"Girl, you...what difficulties have you encountered?"

A voice as gurgling as running water lingered in her ears, and when Ruan Chuyin looked up, she saw a pair of eyes full of tenderness.

This young man had a face universally recognized as a kindly person. A smile as gentle as a spring breeze adorned his lips. Even if the curve of his smile flattened, it still looked as if his smile hadn't diminished.

Her jade-white skin shone a faint rosy hue in the candlelight of the carriage. Her long, black hair draped naturally over her shoulders. The white robe she wore was made of an extremely expensive kesi silk, exclusively supplied to the imperial family in Dayong.

"Sir, two bad guys are chasing me, please save me!"
