Okay, okay!
She didn't spend a single penny, so why would she have so many demands!
Aside from eating, drinking, and using the restroom, Shu Ran stayed in a corner and didn't run around, trying to be a little invisible decoration on the train.
After drinking nutritional supplements for more than two days, we finally arrived in Liaocheng.
Perhaps it's because of the parallel universe, but the current Xia Kingdom is very similar to the country and cities in her previous life, yet there are some differences.
Shu Ran stretched, trying not to think about those perplexing problems, and walked out of the train station with cheerful steps.
Liaocheng was liberated early, and compared to the current chaos in Suzhou, it is a time of peace and tranquility.
I had a comfortable two-day rest in Liaocheng and stocked up on some local specialties.
Shu Ran continued north without any hesitation.
Unfortunately, the northbound train section is under repair and will not be open to traffic for the time being.
After changing into her beggar's clothes, Shu Ran left Liaocheng.
We stopped in an open area outside the city gate.
Shu Ran took out her compass. This way, no, no, she turned it around and this time it was right, showing north.
Having determined her direction, she picked up her "crutch" and began her hike.
The small, broken bowl had already been put into the small basket on her back. Shu Ran leaned on a stick with one hand, while occasionally sneaking some snacks to herself with the other.
They traveled a long way, crossing mountains and valleys.
Once you reach a deserted place, change into hover shoes to give your feet a break.
When they got tired, they ate the boxed meals they had traded with the food critics, and occasionally ate a small snack along the way.
When it gets dark, she finds a suitable place to take out her small apartment and rest properly.
They traveled through mountains and rivers, avoiding human habitation and most of the bandits in the mountains.
Shu Ran, wearing an invisibility cloak, crouched on a tree, secretly watching the two groups of people confronting each other in front of her.
It looks like—a bride kidnapping? Or a wedding procession?
The power of gossip made her stay.
They were too far away, but I could vaguely hear the two groups talking about love, a substitute marriage, and the head of the gang.
As soon as I stood up, I wanted to "float" a little closer.
"Click"
It was the sound of a branch breaking, and Shu Ran casually shifted her position.
The next second, a bullet struck the tree trunk where she had just taken cover.
It almost hit her.
Shu Ran's body, which was floating in the air, froze, and she shuddered, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Looking up, I saw a scarred man dressed like a bandit, one of the people in the wedding-kidnapping group. He didn't look like a good person at all!
What kind of ears are those!
Are they extraordinary or exceptional individuals?
All curiosity was gone, and there was no hurry to leave.
They changed positions and waited for the two teams to finish their discussion.
The wedding procession quickly descended the mountain.
The scarred man's team carried the bridal sedan chair and a dozen or so boxes up the mountain.
Shu Ran followed quietly behind, not daring to get too close, afraid that the guy with the keen ears would discover something. Who knows if there are any other talented people in this team!
Shu Ran had been away from Liaocheng for more than ten days and had no idea where she was. She didn't know which bandits they were from.
"Black Mountain Village!"
I gaze at the plaque hanging high above.
[Robbing the rich to help the poor? Scratch that, a den of bandits who rob and plunder!]
It's confirmed. She stumbled upon a bandit wedding. Even though she avoided most of the populated areas, she still ran into the bandits.
While the group went inside to pay their respects and enjoy the wedding feast, Shu Ran wandered around the entire village.
Especially at the heavily guarded area at the back, Shu Ran seized the opportunity during the shift change to sneak in quietly.
The boxes were open and scattered haphazardly, and the floor was also covered with other items.
In the corner, there were dozens of boxes of dusty ancient books and paintings, abandoned and ignored.
"So rich!" Shu Ran exclaimed.
It's true that all profitable businesses are now included in the criminal law!
Take it all! Take it all away! She was startled by the sound of gunfire and almost lost her life. It's not unreasonable for her to ask for some compensation!
Compensation for emotional distress, lost wages, and damages for being startled...
That's just enough to compensate her.
While Shu Ran was happily collecting the spoils, the bandits were also having a great time.
"Boss, shall we escort them to the bridal chamber first?"
"Hey, no rush. I want to see how their real daughter compares to the fake daughter they raised with all their beautiful but effeminate women!"
The veil on the bride's head, who had been silent since she entered, was lifted, revealing a beautiful face to the scarred man.
Eighteen-year-old Xiu Rong's face was deathly pale, and she clutched the handkerchief in her hand, too afraid to utter a sound.
Perhaps because I didn't take good care of myself when I was young, even though I lived a life of wealth and comfort as an adult and my face matured, my underlying health wasn't properly restored.
"beauty!"
Scarface laughed loudly, "You're no worse than that fake heiress! Follow me, and I'll make sure you live a life of luxury!"
He turned to his brothers below and raised his glass: "Drink up, everyone drink up! It's a joyous occasion, let's drink until we're drunk!"
Xiu Rong, her limbs stiff, was led into the back room by the old woman beside her.
"You wait here, the head of the household will be coming tonight! Remember to get up early tomorrow to pay your respects to the madam."
After giving her instructions, the old woman left the room.
There was no one guarding the entrance. The bandits in the stronghold were very confident. The village had patrols, and a small-footed, weak woman like her couldn't possibly escape!
After packing up her things, Shu Ran observed the backyard.
There were quite a few rooms, about ten, and Shu Ran had already seen five or six women, ranging in age from teenagers to women in their thirties and forties.
The largest and best room was subtly distinguished from the ones next to it.
A quick scan with his mental energy revealed that the beautiful woman, who looked to be in her twenties or thirties, was carrying a heavy object out of a compartment under the wardrobe.
Shu Ran stared wide-eyed at the room, her mental energy consciously searching the entire space.
"Miko Takada?"
Are these people living a simple life? There are also photos; they are indeed people from that place.
Shu Ran, wearing gloves, looked at the ID she pulled out from the gap, took a picture, and then put it back in its place.
Thank you for Ms. Lin Zaiqing's support; the retro Polaroid camera she's using now was obtained from her.
The clicking sound rang out, and Shu Ran looked up blankly. The machine inside had already been turned on and started working.
Morse code? She doesn't know it!
What a useless piece of trash!
Shu Ran silently berated herself.
He probed the radio with his mental energy, randomly picked out one of the wires, and fiddled with it for a while to make it harder to fix.
The signal was lost, and Yoshiko Takada frowned as she took off her headphones.
She didn't do anything else; she couldn't handle this herself, and she needed to find a professional.
After carefully saving the photos, Shu Ran turned and left, heading towards the place where the caravan that had escorted her relatives down the mountain had been.
If there are people here, then there must be a police station here!
Shu Ran adjusted the hovering shoes to their fastest speed, gripping her invisibility cloak tightly with both hands to prevent it from being blown away.
It only took about half an hour to reach the nearest town at the foot of the mountain.
