The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

Across the lake, Zhu Laosan witnessed Li Laoda being hit by a rock and was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

The gleaming broadsword, which had just been taken from under the carriage, fell to the ground with a clang.

Zhu Laosan's face was tanned dark, his mouth was agape, bigger than a duck egg, and his eyes were fixed on the opposite side of the lake.

My God, that's absolutely terrifying.

The deadly flying knife master, Li, was actually killed by a mere peasant girl.

Li Laoda, who was at the top of the government's bounty list, actually fell into the hands of a peasant girl. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it.

You can't judge a book by its cover. That little girl looked so thin and weak, but she was so ruthless!

Having been a human trafficker for so many years, this is the first time I've encountered such a tough opponent.

Li Laoda's brains must have been smashed out. If it had been Zhu Laosan who got smashed, that would have been terrible—just thinking about it is terrifying!

Li Laoda is very concerned about his reputation, and he would definitely die with regrets if he died at the hands of an unknown little girl.

It took Zhu Laosan a long time to come to his senses. He slowly got up, leaving a large puddle of water on the ground. Clearly, he had wet himself in fright.

Today he experienced many firsts in his life: his first time encountering a tough opponent, his first failed attempt at human trafficking, and even his first time being so scared that he wet himself, all because of a little girl.

Zhu Laosan picked up the broadsword from the ground, his legs trembling.

He held a knife in one hand and opened the car door with trembling hands.

His expression became even more surprised.

Because all the little girls in the carriage had disappeared.

Only two ran away, how come they've all disappeared?

Good heavens, this is unbelievable, this is too eerie.

Ever since that frail farm girl jumped off the train, everything has become very strange.

The eldest brother really shouldn't have bought this girl from that scholar; otherwise, the deal would have gone as smoothly as usual. Unfortunately, there's no going back in life.

Never mind, the best course of action is to drive away as fast as possible, lest we suffer a gruesome death like our boss.

Zhu Laosan drove his horse-drawn cart away in a panic, not back to the bandit's den, but directly out of Qinghe County, fleeing for his life.

He decided to live under an assumed name from now on and never be a human trafficker again, because that girl had left an indelible shadow on him.

Su Qianqian and the other person walked back along the lake.

"Sister Su, you're amazing..."

Meng Baozhu's gaze towards Su Qianqian was almost tear-filled, as if she were looking at her beloved.

The weather in the seventh month of the lunar calendar is not cold at all, and the clothes that were previously soaked by the lake water were quickly dried by the lake breeze.

Unfortunately, the two walked until dark without encountering anyone, still in the wilderness.

Fortunately, today is the fifteenth of the lunar month, and the full moon shines brightly, illuminating the way home.

There's not even a torch needed.

Otherwise, Su Qianqian would really be in a difficult position.

As a modern person, I have no idea what it means to start a fire by rubbing sticks together.

As for Miss Meng Baozhu, she naturally didn't know how to make a torch.

Meng Baozhu grew up in a privileged environment and was always well protected by her family.

It was her first time being outdoors at night, and hearing strange noises all around her, she was filled with fear that they were some terrifying demons or monsters.

You should know that today is July 15th, the famous Ghost Festival.

Meng Baozhu had heard countless ghost stories from the servants in her household. She had never been scared when she heard the stories before, but now she felt like she was actually there, which made her uneasy.

When people are truly afraid, everything seems terrifying.

The distant mountains seemed like monsters, as if they were about to devour everything.

There were also locust tree branches, swaying in the wind, accompanied by strange noises, which was rather frightening.

No wonder people always call locust trees "ghost trees".

Out of fear, Meng Baozhu held Su Qianqian's hand tightly, naturally regarding Su Qianqian as her savior.

Sister Su is so powerful that she can kill the leader of human traffickers, so she must be able to deal with wild animals, right?

Meng Baozhu felt the warmth emanating from her hand and inexplicably felt at ease.

A rustling sound rang out, and Su Qianqian suddenly stopped in her tracks. She could hear a lot of noise nearby.

It felt like a wild beast was crashing into a big tree, very close, as if the beast would rush at you in the next second.

"Baozhu, be careful."

This shout made Meng Baozhu even more nervous and uneasy.

The little girl's voice trembled, and her almond-shaped eyes were wet.

"Sister Su, I'm so scared."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Su Qianqian was also afraid. She had just arrived in this world and had not yet fully adapted, and dangers kept coming one after another, seemingly without end.

There happened to be a big, sturdy tree nearby, so for now, I could only climb up the tree to take shelter and observe the situation.

In the blink of an eye, Meng Baozhu discovered that her Sister Su had disappeared.

"Precious Pearl".

Hearing the voices, Meng Baozhu was startled to realize that Sister Su had climbed up the tree without anyone noticing.

Sister Su has so many skills.

As Meng Baozhu was thinking, a belt was placed in front of her.

"Baozhu, hold on tight, I'll pull you up."

"oh."

Su Qianqian pulled and tugged, using all her strength, before she finally got Meng Baozhu up the tree, so this new body was still too weak.

Meng Baozhu had never climbed a tree before; she was afraid of heights and didn't even dare to open her eyes when she was up in a tree.

Fearing that Meng Baozhu would fall from the tree, Su Qianqian simply used her belt to tie Meng Baozhu to the tree, which made her much more secure.

"Meow meow meow—"

An adult white goat fled to the foot of a tree.

Another dark animal came close behind, howling as it charged at them.

By the bright moonlight, it was clear that what was chasing them was a wild boar, weighing at least two or three hundred pounds.

Two long wild boar tusks gleamed coldly in the moonlight, and in one swift motion, they pierced through the wild goat's belly.

Unable to resist her curiosity, Meng Baozhu looked down and clearly saw the horrifying scene; it was truly terrifying.

The stench of blood reached the tree, making her vomit repeatedly.

After the wild boar had finished ravaging the white goat, it didn't leave. Perhaps its fur was itchy, as it rubbed against the tree, causing the tree to shake violently.

Meng Baozhu clung tightly to the tree trunk, her body shivering with cold, unable to tell whether it was from the cold or from fright.

I was incredibly relieved that Sister Su had the foresight to tie me to the tree; otherwise, with the tree shaking so violently, I would definitely have fallen.

Sister Su was truly her savior. If Sister Su hadn't pulled her up the tree and tied her up tightly, she might have ended up like a wild goat with her intestines pierced through.

Su Qianqian kept her eyes fixed on the wild boar.

These adult wild boars are terrifying, especially their long tusks. When they get fierce, they can kill several experienced hunters at the same time.

However, wild boar stomachs are very valuable and can be sold at a high price.

Su Qianqian thought of how poor the original owner's family was, and how they couldn't eat meat all year round.

I should have put the wild boar into my spatial storage, but the abducted girls were still there. If I put the wild boar into my spatial storage, the unconscious girls might be harmed by it, so I had to give up the idea.

But the white goat under the tree cannot be let go.

Only after the wild boar had run far away did Meng Baozhu dare to breathe loudly.

"Sister Su, you saved me again. I will ask my parents to give you money, lots and lots of money."

His voice was filled with the relief of surviving a disaster.

Su Qianqian comforted Baozhu for a few moments, then realized she had lost her way.

The large tree where they were hiding appeared to be a cypress, unlike the other trees.

There were locust trees all around, but this was the only cypress tree.

She then realized that this was the third time she had returned to this cypress tree. It seemed that she had been wandering around in the woods, completely wasting time, before encountering the wild boar.

"Baozhu, do you know the way?"

"I don't know him. My driver always leads the way when I go out."

Indeed, asking is pointless; how could a pampered young lady who never leaves her home possibly know the way?

Then you'll have to find your own way.

Su Qianqian climbed to a higher position in the tree and looked into the distance.

The treetops were very thin, swaying in the wind along with Su Qianqian's frail body, as if they would break at any moment.

At the same time, the treetops are very high, allowing people to see far into the distance.
