Allure of a Country Maiden-Chapter 1247 - 1244_1

As a result, Xiao’er had just returned to Zezhou, and before the bench was warm, he had to climb into a carriage and leave.

This trip, Brother Ri had brought ten followers. Now, to avoid attracting attention, he only brought two with him.

Zhao Yong stayed in Zezhou to wait for Shangguan Ruixi to pick up Shangguan Wanru and take her back to the Imperial Capital.

Since Zhao Yong was well aware of the situation, he could explain it to Shangguan Ruixi. So, he did not need Zhao Yong for this trip.

Xiao’er also took Yang Liu and Yang Mei with him.

"We just came back from Swallow Ridge! I know the shortcuts to Swallow Ridge and from Swallow Ridge to Jiangzhong County. Let me lead the way!" Xiao’er said to Brother Ri.

"Alright!" Brother Ri had no objection. When it came to Nangong Country, he certainly wasn’t as familiar as Xiao’er and his party.

After all, they were currently fighting against Nangong Country. They must have studied it thoroughly!

The group traveled day and night. Yang Liu and Yang Mei alternated driving the carriage.

Brother Ri’s two followers also alternated driving.

After five straight days of travel, they would soon catch up to Yun’er.

——

On the other side, after Yun’er was kidnapped, she was initially bound hand and foot. But then she heard one criminal say to another, "Be careful. The master ordered not to lose her baby!"

When Yun’er heard this, ideas sprang to her mind!

So she kept asking for water, saying she needed to pee, then claiming she was hungry, and then complaining that her hands and feet were numb from being tied up. She gave them a hard time!

At first, the criminal ignored Yun’er, but then she pretended her stomach hurt, saying pregnant women can’t be hungry, thirsty, or travel in a bumpy carriage. Being tied up for too long would also disrupt blood flow, which would harm the child! Yun’er even put on a weak appearance.

In short, she wouldn’t stop causing trouble until the criminal gave in!

The criminal was a man who hadn’t been married, but he had seen the wives and nobles in the palace being very careful during pregnancy!

He looked over at Yun’er, whose complexion wasn’t good, and he dared not take any chances!

Most importantly, in a short four hours, he was so annoyed by Yun’er’s disturbances. She was so troublesome!

In order to have some peace, he had to untie Yun’er’s hands and feet. Then, he chained one of her feet to the carriage, so she couldn’t run away.

To keep her fed, he ordered his partner to buy some steamed buns and snacks when they passed a town. He intended to use them to shut her up whenever she claimed she was hungry.

After making these arrangements, he finally had some peace.

Ever since she was untied, Yun’er behaved obediently. She would fetch food or water when she was hungry or thirsty.

The criminal thought she seemed sensible under the circumstances.

Yun’er continued to be obedient, eating when she was hungry and pretending to sleep most of the time. This calm and cooperative demeanor quickly let the criminal lower his guard.

Yun’er sat by the carriage window. When the criminal wasn’t looking, she made scratching gestures and stealthily threw small things out of the carriage. These served as clues for Brother Ri to follow and locate her.

She threw a ring, an earring, and other small pieces of jewelry that were hard to be noticed by the criminals.

As for the handkerchief, she bit her finger intending to write the letter ’N’ when the criminal was dozing off. However, he started stirring after she had only written three strokes, so she hurriedly threw the handkerchief out the window.

Those small pieces of jewelry might be picked up by some passerby, but hopefully no one found the blood-stained handkerchief! Yun’er thought to herself.

After nearly half a month on the road, Yun’er had been very obedient and made no attempt to escape.

The robber was very pleased with this. He couldn’t help but ask Yun’er, "Why don’t you try to escape?"

Yun’er glanced at the robber and quipped, "I’m carrying a child in my belly! How can I run? I reckon I wouldn’t get far before you caught up with me! Plus, I don’t want anything to happen to my child! I can only rely on my husband to rescue me!"

So it was for the sake of the child in her belly! Hearing this, the robber found it to be reasonable. She really couldn’t run with a baby bump!

Afterward, Yun’er was still very well-behaved, and their vigilance towards her even more relaxed.

Yun’er complained that the carriage was going too fast and that her stomach hurt. Seeing how cooperative Yun’er was, they would accommodate her and slow down the carriage.

One day, they finally crossed Swallow Ridge and arrived at a place called Jiangzhong County. freewebnøvel.com

Yun’er recalled Brother Ri mentioning that Minze Country had captured Jiangyang County from Nangong Country! She figured that Jiangzhong County and Jiangyang County should not be far apart!

Maybe she could seize the opportunity to escape here and seek help in Jiangyang County!

So, as they passed a certain restaurant, Yun’er exclaimed, "My stomach hurts so bad, I’m sure the steamed buns I had this morning were leftovers from last night, they weren’t fresh! I have diarrhea! Quickly find a place to stop the carriage!"

After finishing her sentence, Yun’er let out a smelly fart.

The robber’s face instantly grimaced in disgust; he quickly poked his head out of the carriage, saw a restaurant, and shouted, "Stop! Let her go and relieve herself first, it stinks!"

It turned out that when Yun’er had passed through a town yesterday, she saw roasted sweet potatoes for sale and deliberately had the robber buy some. She intentionally ate them to disgust them!

She knew that eating too many sweet potatoes can lead to smelly gas!

She didn’t expect the results to be so spectacular. This fart was so timely! It was as if the heavens were helping her. Yun’er thought happily.

So the carriage came to a halt.

The robber escorted Yun’er into the restaurant to use the restroom.

As Yun’er walked, she scanned her surroundings, looking for an opportunity to escape.

The restrooms in the restaurant were located in the backyard, with four huts in a row.

Yun’er entered one of the huts while the robber stood guard outside the door to prevent her escape.

Once inside, Yun’er removed her outer garment and wore it in reverse.

This garment was designed to be reversible, with completely different styles inside and out!

This idea came from Xiao’er, who suggested their shop make reversible outer garments. That way, customers would get two different outfits for the price of one, which they would surely find cost-effective!

After putting her clothes on backwards, Yun’er also let down her hair and casually tied it into a bun.

Outside, the robber was growing impatient, "Are you done yet? Why’s it taking so long!"

"I told you, I’m having diarrhea! Can’t it take a while? I told you I couldn’t eat non-fresh food!" Yun’er feigned a wronged response.

"So troublesome, just be glad there’s food for you to eat!" the robber retorted impatiently.

After making herself unrecognizable, Yun’er took a pill from her bosom, crushed it, and held her breath.

Immediately, a strange odor filled the air. Yun’er fanned her garment’s hem once, and the scent of the pill mixed with the stench of the restroom, wafted outside.
