Chapter 894: Caught Up (Part 4)
Human potential truly knows no bounds, and boundless fear drove the two women to risk their lives, especially Qian Xiaoyun. She had tried to escape so many times because she wanted to leave. Although her leg was still lame, she gritted her teeth and ran forward, finally scrambling to the top of the slope using both hands and feet. However, before she could catch her breath, she dashed into the woods. She didn’t get far before collapsing to the ground with a thud.
"How are you?" Yang Ruxin hurried over to help her up.
"Xinxin, I don’t think I can make it," Qian Xiaoyun shook her head, "My leg..." she said, wiping away tears from the corner of her eye, "I’ll lure them away in a moment. You take your aunt and run..."
Yang Ruxin frowned.
"But I hope you can go to my house and check on my parents. Tell them not to just marry off my sister..." Qian Xiaoyun wiped away another tear, "Tell them I’m dead."
"You go back and tell them yourself," Yang Ruxin shook her head, "I like to bring good news, not bad. Now that we’re here, we must keep going." She picked up a stick from the ground, "If I’m not worried about being dragged down, do you really want to give up on yourself?"
"Right, Xiaoyun, we can’t let you go back. That would be a death sentence," Xun Hui nodded in agreement.
Qian Xiaoyun bit her lip, then nodded and began running forward, leaning on the stick.
However, the men behind them had lived in the mountains all their lives and were accustomed to all its aspects, so they were much faster. It wasn’t long before the light of the torches could be seen when one looked back.
