The scheming empress starts by conquering men

Chapter 167 Escape from Ancient Tree Village

Shaodian Sishui looked at him in surprise; "So you are Yue Chemu?"

She looked him up and down.

So this is the man her second sister is marrying?

Yue Chemu paused slightly when he saw her strange look.

"you know me?"

Shaodian Sishui suddenly came to his senses and shook his head hurriedly.

"Oh, I don't know."

Yue Chemu didn't believe it. She had a vague feeling that she must know him, otherwise why would she ask in surprise, "So you are Yue Chemu?" If this isn't acquaintance, then what is?

Shaodian Sishui coughed and changed the subject; "How do you want me to help you?"

Yue Chemu's eyes lit up slightly, and he said hastily, "I have a token!"

Shaodian Sishui raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

Then he said, "This place is not far from Yuyi. As long as you can run out and find the Seventh Princess of the Great Zhou, she can come and rescue me."

He placed all his hopes on the woman in front of him.

Thinking back to the night seven days ago, if she hadn't saved him at the risk of her own life, he would have died at the hands of those assassins.

At that time he thought she was a man, until he came to this ancient tree village and found out that she was actually a woman.

He had never seen a woman as kind-hearted as her, who would be so willing to suffer such serious injuries just to save him, a stranger who had nothing to do with him.

No matter who she was, he believed that the woman in front of him would definitely save him.

Shaodian Sishui did not untie him, but asked him, "Where is the token?"

Yue Chemu quickly looked at his chest.

"Inside the collar."

Shaodian Sishui reached out her hand and groped for the token on his chest. The token was on the lining inside his skin, no wonder the group of people didn't find it.

She took out his ID card and looked at it carefully. It was a jade pendant, a symbol of his identity.

Yue Chemu's face turned red for some unknown reason, and he looked at her hand with a rolling throat. His chest felt numb and he even felt drowsy because of his constant panting.

Shaodian Sishui lowered her head and looked at his token, and did not notice anything unusual about him.

After she was sure that this was Yue Chemu's token, she put it in her lapel and looked at him seriously.

"Don't worry, I will definitely find someone to rescue you, wait for me."

Yue Chemu was very moved and shook his head with misty eyes.

"Thank you. When I get out, I will definitely…definitely thank you."

He withdrew his gaze, his expression extremely unnatural, and his blurred vision vaguely looked at her soft and boneless slender jade hands.

And watched her put his token in her lapel.

He actually reacted to her touch just now. At this time, he was actually thinking nonsense.

Yue Chemu shook his head, but why did he feel a little sleepy?

Shaodian Sishui looked at him with some abnormality, but stood up and paid no attention to him. He looked around vigilantly while looking for an exit.

This place is similar to an ancestral hall, with only one exit, which is the main entrance.

There are many tablets in the center of the ancestral hall, all of which are tablets for people who were being worshipped.

There were various offerings on the table, and a candle in front of each tablet.

The fire signal flickered, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, sometimes strong and sometimes weak. It did not appear bright, but rather seemed to be neither extinguished nor dying.

Logically, she should be afraid of this bizarre Chinese horror scene, but for some reason, she felt surprisingly calm.

She walked towards the candles and when she looked closely, she smelled an indescribable sweet and light smell of drugs mixed in with the candles.

The fragrance was extremely faint, so faint that even she, who took medicine all year round, could hardly smell it.

She looked back at Yue Chemu. No wonder his eyes looked blurry.

But now was not the time to think about these things, she quickly walked to Yue Chemu's side.

"You need to pretend to be dizzy."

Without waiting for Yue Chemu to reply, he raised his knife and knocked him unconscious.

After knocking Yue Chemu unconscious, Shaodian Si Shui walked to the door and listened carefully to the two shallow and rough breathing sounds outside.

Her eyes rolled, and as her mind turned, she took a few steps back to where she was lying. She pressed a few acupoints on her body with her fingers, and instantly covered her chest, her face turning pale.

She lay on the ground and crawled towards the door little by little.

When she reached the door, she raised her hand and knocked on it gently, calling weakly, "Is anyone there?"

The person guarding outside the door heard the noise and quickly opened the door to check.

After seeing Shaodian Si Shui lying on the ground and knocking on the door weakly, the two men looked at each other and then looked inside the hall.

I saw her lying there, with traces of her crawling all the way to the door.

I think he crawled here the first thing he did after waking up. The man in the hall fell asleep at some point in time.

The candles must have played a certain role, but why is this girl still awake?

The two men looked at each other warily, then entered the store one after the other, wanting to pull Shaodian Si Shui back and tie her up.

As a result, as soon as the two entered the store and closed the door, they turned around and suddenly lost consciousness.

Shaodian Si Shui tied up the two women and gagged them tightly. Without even looking at the unconscious Yue Chemu, he turned around and left.

Relying on her memory and footsteps of her afterlife, she hid from place to place and headed south of Changyoupo Village to say goodbye to her.

However, before she ran far, she saw Chang Youpo appear in front of her nimbly.

"Master."

She was a little surprised as to why her master had come.

Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong took out his coat and handed it to her; "Put it on, and I'll take you away from here."

Okay, Shaodian Si Shui nodded, and she waited to leave.

She swiftly put on her outer coat, which was the kind of clothing worn by rural women.

Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong stretched out his arm and let her support him.

The two of them walked slowly out of the village. Every time they met a passing villager, Shaodian Sishui would subconsciously lower his head.

She was afraid of being discovered by the villagers, but Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong was not afraid because that group of people would automatically avoid her.

Nothing happened along the way, but Shaodian Sishui did not dare to be careless until she followed Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong and left Gushu Village.

Shaodian Sishui looked back at the narrow path outside Gushu Village.

Only then did I realize that after leaving Gushu Village and looking back at Gushu Village, I could only see a vast expanse of white fog and could not clearly see the village there.

If she hadn't come out, no outsider would have ventured into the white fog, let alone thought that there was a village inside.

However, she has already remembered this place. It doesn't seem like what Chang Youpo said, that it would be difficult to find her way back after leaving Gushu Village, right?

Just as she was thinking about it, Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong handed her the sword manual, the map of Ancient Tree Village, and some travel money.

"There is a fast horse not far ahead. Take it and leave here first. As for my companion, I will find a way to send him to you. I will have him meet you at Yuyi."

Shaodian Sishui paused and said hurriedly, "Master, that man is not my friend. I don't know him. You don't need to take risks for him."

She didn't care what Chang Youpo thought of her and held her hand tightly.

"Master, please come with me first!"

She still had many questions to ask, and besides, it was not like she couldn't leave Gushu Village.

Xuanyuan Zhuoqiong paused and shook her hand. "You are so thoughtful. I just came back from the outside world not long ago. I can't leave the ten-mile radius of Gushu Village for the time being. You go first. I will go to Bianjing to find you next year."

Have to wait until next year?

Shaodian Sishui frowned slightly; "I will be back, Master, you must wait for me."

She didn't want to wait until next year. She just wanted to kill everyone in the Ancient Tree Village as soon as possible. This way, this place would become her secret place in the future.

After she finished speaking this time, she turned around and walked away without waiting for Chang Youpo to say anything else.

He mounted his horse and rushed towards Suii Castle.

Shaodian Sishui rushed all the way and finally arrived at a small city around eight o'clock in the evening. However, it was not Yuyi City, but Rimu City within the scope of Yuyi City.

It was still early in the city of Dusk before the gates were closed, and before she entered the city she met many beggars begging along the road.

"Please be kind and give us something to eat."

Among the beggars there were old and young, most of them were women, with very few men.

Regardless of their age, they were all dressed very thinly, had frostbite all over their bodies, were skinny and had chapped lips.

Especially when those young girls who had no relatives around them looked at her with humility and hope in their eyes, Shaodian Sishui inexplicably resonated with them.

She was once an orphan. Although not as humble as they are today, she was also humble at heart compared to other people of that era.

She felt around her body and took out some money.

Seeing that the money was a little less and could not be used by herself, she put it away decisively and took out Yue Chemu's jade pendant from her arms.

He was so focused on getting on with his journey that he didn't even lose the jade pendant.

It’s just right, this jade pendant can be given to this little beggar.

It can also be considered as a good deed that Yue Chemu accumulated before his death.

However, she threw the jade pendant to a middle-aged beggar next to the little beggar.

"Hey, take this jade pendant and take that little beggar to exchange for some food. If you dare to take all the food away secretly, I will definitely kill you."

The middle-aged beggar quickly pulled the little beggar to his side and kowtowed to thank him.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. I will definitely listen to you."

Shaodian Sishui looked at the little beggar and asked, "Do you want to go into the city?"

The little beggar shook his head, "Sir, we are beggars. We cannot enter the city without feathers."

Oh yeah, she forgot about that.

"Where do you usually live?"

The little beggar pointed to a mound far outside the city.

"There are some shabby houses over there, and we live there."

Shaodian Sishui nodded and rubbed her head without caring about her dirtiness.

"I'll come see you later, and go back soon after you change your food."

"Yes, yes, thank you very much, thank you very much." The girl kowtowed hurriedly to express her gratitude.
