Chapter 50: Forty-nine, Escape
With a thought, a dagger appeared in Luo Shu’s hands. She placed the dagger between them and began to slowly cut the rope binding her hands.

Before long, Luo Shu felt her hands loosen and knew that the rope had been severed by the blade.
After freeing herself from the rope around her body, Luo Shu took out a drop of Spiritual Spring and placed it in her mouth. Her previously limp body immediately gained strength. The Spiritual Spring had a detoxifying effect; the sedative those people had fed her was not even a poison, so naturally, it could be quickly neutralized.
Moving with quiet footsteps, Luo Shu came to Luo Shan’s side and extended her hand to untie her ropes, checking Luo Shan’s pulse to find she hadn’t been drugged like herself.
“Mmmph mmmph…” Seeing Luo Shu helping Luo Shan with the ropes, the people around them started to make noise.
“What’s all the noise for?!” A furious shout came from outside the door.
Frightened, everyone shuddered and immediately halted their noises, but their eyes still pleaded with Luo Shu.
“Sister… I’m so afraid…” Luo Shan hugged her arms, looking pitifully at Luo Shu.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here,” Luo Shu comforted Luo Shan in a soft voice, patting her on the back.
“Okay!” Luo Shan nodded, but her eyes still flickered with fear.
After signaling Luo Shan to be quiet, Luo Shu stood up, stealthily walked to the door, and peered through the crack. She saw a thick iron chain locking the door, with a black padlock securing the ends of the chain in the middle.
Beyond that, two burly men were guarding outside the door. Dealing with those two wasn’t a problem, but the man with the scarred face bore weapons. If they were to alert him, it would be dangerous for them.
After pondering for a moment, Luo Shu returned to sit beside Luo Shan, whispering in her ear, “Don’t worry, we’ll definitely escape. For now, have some rest to regain your strength. We’ll need it to run.” It wasn’t a good time to leave now; better to wait for the people to fall into a deeper sleep before making their move.
Turning toward the people looking at her with hope, Luo Shu got up and helped untie their ropes. Whether they could escape later was up to their own luck.
As time silently passed, nearing two o’clock in the morning, Luo Shu opened her eyes. She gently woke Luo Shan beside her, pointed at the door, stood up, and walked quietly to it, carefully pulling it open a crack to look outside.
She saw the two men guarding the door; one was nodding off, seemingly asleep on the ground, while the other was already snoring loudly. This time of night was when people slept most deeply, making it the best moment to run.
Luo Shu had Luo Shan wake up everyone. She then signaled to them to be silent, pulled out a black hairpin, reached outside to grab the large lock, inserted the hairpin into the lock core, and gently turned it a couple of times, triggering a faint click.
Quietly opening the door, Luo Shu slipped out, quickly pressing on the guards’ acupoints.
She waved to the people inside, signaling them to tiptoe and slowly make their way toward the courtyard gate.
As they barely opened the courtyard gate and were about to leave, a door-opening sound came from behind them.
The man who came out to use the toilet was stunned to see them. Recovering from his shock, he quickly chased after them, yelling, “They’re running away, get up now!”
Luo Shu inwardly cursed, grabbing Luo Shan and rushing outside the gate.
Dog barks echoed incessantly from the alleys in the distance, and the footsteps behind them grew ever closer.
Luo Shan, both tired and hungry, simply couldn’t keep up with Luo Shu’s pace. She stumbled and fell to the ground.
Luo Shu quickly turned and helped Luo Shan up, “Are you okay? Get up quickly, they are catching up.”
“Sis, I think I’ve twisted my ankle, you go ahead,” Luo Shan said with a frowning face, filled with fear and despair.
Luo Shu looked around and noticed a haystack at the entrance of the alley ahead. She scooped up Luo Shan and hurried toward the haystack.
Hiding Luo Shan in the haystack, and hearing the footsteps getting closer behind her, Luo Shu deliberately amplified her own footsteps and ran in another direction.
“Over there!” The pursuers, hearing the footsteps, quickly chased after Luo Shu as she fled.
“Damn it!” Luo Shu hadn’t expected to run into a dead end. Just as she was about to scale the wall to escape, a gunshot rang out behind her.
“You’re quite capable, keep running,” the Scarred Man said darkly as he held a weapon aimed at Luo Shu. If not for Luo Shu still being worth something, he would have finished her off then and there.
Luo Shu looked indifferently at the Scarred Man and his group, making no further attempt to resist. As long as Luo Shan wasn’t captured, she could escape at any time. Moreover, she had just remembered something, Lu Hanmo had once said that he had eradicated an organization that was particularly large, almost covering the entire Yan Country.
That time, although Lu Hanmo rescued many abducted women, he also sustained serious injuries. She wondered if these people who had captured her were related to that organization. Perhaps she should stay here for now to learn more. But she needed to find a way to inform her family and tell them she would be safe.
Luo Shu was brought back to the little courtyard, but this time she was confined alone, and the security outside the door had been intensified.
As dawn was about to break, the room door was opened once more, and two burly men with grim faces entered, “Get up, go outside!” Three of the women they had caught last night had run away, and after looking for them all night, they found none. Now they were both tired and sleepy.
Luo Shu stood up cooperatively and followed the two men out of the room and into the small courtyard outside.
The other women who had been recaptured were also gathered there, and after a quick glance in which Luo Shu did not see Luo Shan, she felt relieved.
Luo Shu and the other captured women were led out of the small courtyard by the Scarred Man and his people, and were taken to the same small river as the day before.
“All aboard, and no funny business, or I’ll shoot her and throw her in the river to feed the fish,” the Scarred Man threatened as he shook the weapon in his hand.
The boat wasn’t very big, but it was more than enough for these people. Once everyone was on board, the boat slowly moved away from the shore.
Luo Shu had no idea where the boat was heading, so she simply closed her eyes and entered meditation.
The Scarred Man walked into the cabin, glanced over everyone, and lingered a moment longer on Luo Shu. Noticing that she had her eyes closed, he retracted his gaze and turned to leave the cabin.
The escape of three people this time greatly annoyed him, and he wished he could kill Luo Shu on the spot, the main culprit. However, he was somewhat wary of the person who had ordered Luo Shu’s abduction, whose purpose was to make Luo Shu’s life a living hell. If he killed Luo Shu, it surely wouldn’t end well. Also, there was one thing he couldn’t figure out: if Luo Shu had indeed drunk the “medicine,” why did she still have the strength to escape? Did she harbor some secret?
