How to become a Taoist priest starting from a brothel

Chapter 191 The Escape: Searching and Searching for the Princess

Liu Yin took a deep breath, untied the belt of her outer robe, and stuffed the contents of the belt into her bosom.

Cut the belt in two with a knife, carefully tie it around your feet, and cover the soles of your shoes to prevent it from making noise when you climb the tree later.

The handkerchief in her hand was tied back as it was originally.

She kept a close eye on Wang Qi and his group's location, circled around them, and hid on the other side of a tree.

Looking at the ground, she took off the waist rope of her inner garment and tied herself to the tree.

They moved down the tree little by little, like ants.

The sound of the shoe soles rubbing against the tree trunk was eliminated by the belt.

The friction between her clothes and the trees was greatly reduced as she wrapped herself up with the trees and leaned her whole body outward.

She crouched down a little, lowered the waist rope slightly, and slowly slid down from above.

She moved cautiously, often sliding down and pausing for a long time, for fear that Wang Qi and the others would hear the noise.

She slid along the tree, which was only a dozen meters high, for almost half an hour.

Looking down at the ground, which was only about half a meter above her, she frowned deeply.

She had climbed over from the top, never expecting that the ground would be covered with a layer of fallen leaves.

Normally, such fallen leaves would be the best way to conceal footprints.

But it was nighttime, and all was quiet. She was sure the other person would hear the sound of her footsteps on the leaves.

She hugged the tree and took off her waist rope, tying it around her waist.

Carefully move your body so that you are hanging upside down in the tree.

She reached out and carefully picked up the fallen leaves from the ground, placing them aside.

After picking up three or five pieces, there was enough space on the ground to put one's feet down.

She raised an eyebrow, secretly relieved that the leaves here weren't too thick.

She rolled over and coiled herself up in the tree to catch her breath before hanging upside down again to collect leaves.

And so, she sat up, then lay down again, and within fifteen minutes she was too tired to turn over.

Seeing that there was a fairly large open space on the ground, and noticing that Wang Qi was not making any noise, she carefully put her legs down.

Supporting her slightly sore and numb legs, she observed that the farther away from the tree, the fewer leaves there were.

After thinking for a moment, I squatted down and continued picking up leaves in another direction.

After moving to a new open space, she put the leaves back on the spot where they had been picked up.

They picked up leaves and put them away along the way, and soon reached a place where there were almost no leaves left.

Upon closer inspection, I realized I was about twenty steps away from that big tree.

She raised an eyebrow, took the cloth off her shoes, stuffed it into her bosom, and carefully chose a spot with few leaves, walking step by step deeper into the woods.

After walking for about an hour, it was already getting light.

She listened and could faintly hear sounds coming from the direction Wang Qi was in.

They quickened their pace and hurried deeper into the area.

She didn't know how long she had walked when she stumbled and almost fell into a large pit.

Fortunately, she was quick and managed to grab onto a nearby tree trunk.

Looking at the huge pit, and then looking back, the way we came could no longer be seen.

With a quick glance, Liu Yin carefully found a spot that wasn't too steep and slid down the slope.

As she suspected, the pit was much deeper than it appeared.

She carefully stood up and found that the fallen leaves in the pit were extremely thick, almost reaching her calves.

She carefully took a few steps forward. Although it was a bit difficult, it was still manageable. She looked at the trees that were much thicker than the ones above, but were not evergreen, and was somewhat puzzled.

In this forest, there were two completely different kinds of trees: evergreen trees on the outer perimeter and common trees inside.

Seeing that it was getting light, and worried that the other person would catch up, she didn't think much of it and quickened her pace, walking deeper into the area.

She was right.

While it was still barely dawn, Wang Qi and the others quickly got up.

"Big Brother." Li Wu yawned and looked at Wang Qi.

Wang Qi glanced at him, then looked towards the woods: "Pack your things, we'll go into the woods again."

Li Wu slapped his face a few times to wake himself up, and then quickly bowed in response.

The others, except for Lu Ren, reacted quickly and headed into the woods.

As the night passed, Liu Yin's initial footprints were almost invisible, but they still couldn't escape Wang Qi's eyes.

He observed carefully for a long time before getting up and walking back a few steps with an extremely ugly expression.

Everyone looked at him with confusion.

"Big brother?"

Wang Qi pointed fiercely at a string of shoe prints: "Impressive tactics, worthy of a royal princess."

The group exchanged bewildered glances. Li Wu examined the shoe prints carefully, then looked at Wang Qi with a blank expression.

Wang Qi was about to speak in anger.

Xu Sangou, who was standing nearby, suddenly spoke up: "Two shoe prints?"

When Wang Qi saw that someone had noticed, he nodded and said, "Yes, two shoe prints. Our princess has used an excellent sleight of hand."

Xu Sangou revealed a mocking smile: "It seems we can capture this runaway princess today."

Wang Qi led his men quickly to the spot where the double footprints broke off.

Looking up at the big tree, he squinted, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

He touched the tree, stroking it gently, until a very thin thread from a piece of clothing touched his hand.

Looking up at the big tree, Wang Qi immediately called over Lu Ren: "Let's go up and take a look."

Although Lu Ren was confused, he nodded in agreement and quickly climbed up the tree, only to come down again shortly afterward.

Wang Qi looked at him.

There were traces, but no one was there.

Wang Qi nodded, looked up and carefully observed the big tree until he saw the branches of another tree that were intertwined with the branches of this tree.

"Lu Ren, can you go from this tree to that tree by following the branches?"

Lu Ren looked up and gestured: "I don't know, we'll have to try."

Wang Qi's eyes flickered, and he nodded, telling him to give it a try.

Lu Ren climbed back up the tree, reached the branch, measured the distance with his feet, and then carefully walked forward.

However, he was much heavier than Liu Yin, so the branch under his feet broke before he could even reach the opposite branch.

"Ah!" he exclaimed, grabbing a nearby tree branch to avoid falling.

Seeing him fall, Wang Qi couldn't help but feel anxious and quickly went to help him.

Seeing this, Li Wu and his group immediately formed a human ladder to bring the person down.

Wang Qi stared at the broken branch, his brow furrowed, muttering to himself, "Could it be that I guessed wrong?"

Lu Ren calmed his rapidly beating heart and stepped forward: "I think it's fine. She's a woman, and she's naturally lighter than me."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qi's brows relaxed, and he continued to observe the tree branches.

Upon observation, he discovered that the continuous branches actually connected to about six trees, but one of them was quite thin, and it seemed that even if Liu Yin was very light, she would not be able to stay there.

He walked quickly toward the furthest tree and observed the base of the tree. After a long time, he noticed that the leaves were somewhat different.

Use a stick to pry it open.

"As expected!" Wang Qi's face lit up with joy. He looked into the depths of the forest and called out softly, "Let's go! Invite our little princess."
