Chapter 203 Successful Escape

Just when Gu Wenshuang was full of doubts and felt that this matter was simply unbelievable, she involuntarily stopped the work at hand.

However, fate did not seem to give her too much time to think. At this moment, a sharp whip came whistling without warning and hit Gu Wenshuang's thin body fiercely.

At the same time, a gruff man's voice echoed around them: "What are you doing? Are you thinking of slacking off again? Hurry up and get back to work!"

Gu Wenshuang felt pain, but didn't dare to say anything or resist, so she could only endure the pain and continue working.

Gu Wenshuang left the familiar place happily, and the initial days were quite smooth.

However, fate always likes to play tricks on people. The good times did not last long. Not long after she started walking alone, a group of vicious bandits suddenly appeared in front of her.

These bandits had ferocious looks on their faces and pounced on Gu Wenshuang, who was powerless, like hungry wolves.

They mercilessly robbed her of all her valuables, including the little money she had for travel.

This was undoubtedly a further blow to Gu Wenshuang, who was wandering alone.

But worse things were yet to come. This group of heartless bandits did not give up. They even started to touch poor Gu Wenshuang and wantonly bullied this woman who had once lived a life of luxury and wealth.

In the end, these inhumane bandits sold the bruised and battered Gu Wenshuang to others like a commodity.

From that moment on, Gu Wenshuang's life fell into an endless dark abyss.

She didn't know how many times she had been beaten and abused. Her once delicate and fair skin was now covered with scars, and her former noble and elegant temperament was long gone.

This princess who was once high and mighty was now so destitute that she was even worse than an ordinary village woman.

Late at night, everything was quiet, only the cold moonlight was shining into the room through the window.

Gu Wenshuang sat alone by the bed, silently opened the medicine bottle, and gently applied the ointment on the wounds on her body.

Every touch brought a sting, but compared to the pain in my heart, this physical pain was nothing.

As she applied the medicine, her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the past.

Once upon a time, she was a princess and He Yue was just a commoner. However, times have changed and now their identities are very different.

He Yue was high and mighty, enjoying everyone's respect and love; but what about herself? All she could do was hide here and lick her wounds like a wounded little animal.

When she thought of this, Gu Wenshuang felt as if her heart was being gnawed by millions of ants.

Jealousy, anger, unwillingness...all these complicated emotions intertwined together, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

But at the same time, a firm idea gradually rose in her heart - escape from here!

In fact, during this period of time, Gu Wenshuang has been quietly making full preparations for escape.

She collected maps, stockpiled dry food, and looked for the right opportunity... However, the days of waiting were too long, and now when she thought of He Yue's happy face, the anger in her heart would burn even more fiercely.

Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore.

"I can't just sit here and wait for death!" Gu Wenshuang bit her lips tightly and said to herself secretly.

"Even if my injuries haven't fully recovered, as long as I can move more freely, I will escape immediately! Leave this suffocating place."

One night a few days later, the moonlight fell like water in the quiet village.

The man stumbled back home, emitting a strong and pungent smell of alcohol. He was drunk and unconscious.

Gu Wenshuang, who had been waiting for a long time, had a glint of cunning and determination in her eyes.

She tiptoed to the man's side and poured the sleeping pills she had carefully prepared into his mouth.

Watching the man gradually fall asleep and his breathing become steady and deep, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still extremely nervous.

Because what we are going to do next cannot afford any mistakes.

After confirming that the man was completely asleep and would not wake up in the short term, Gu Wenshuang quickly took action.

She swiftly gathered up her few belongings, packed them into a small package and carried it on her back.

Then she came to the bed, carefully took the burning candle from the candlestick, and gently placed it on the bed.

Since the bed was covered with flammable fabrics, as long as the candle continued to burn, it would eventually ignite the fabrics, causing a raging fire.

After doing all this, Gu Wenshuang turned around without any hesitation and walked towards the back door of the house.

She tiptoed to open the latch, so quietly that no sound was heard.

After going out, she looked around cautiously to make sure no one else noticed her whereabouts.

Then, like an agile cat, she slowly moved forward along the walls of other people's houses, cleverly avoiding any blind spots.

After successfully bypassing the residents and reaching the small path, Gu Wenshuang spread his legs and started running wildly.

She ran as fast as she could, the only sounds in her ears being the whistling wind and her own rapid breathing.

Along the way, she didn't dare to stop for a moment, let alone keep going along the main road, for fear of being seen by the early-rising villagers.

Gu Wenshuang hurriedly shuttled between the winding paths and the dense and deep woods.

She had been running for several days straight, and the feeling of fatigue surged into her heart like a tide, eventually drowning her completely.

At this moment, her legs felt as if they were pressed down by lead blocks, so heavy that every step she took required tremendous effort.

Finally, when the exhaustion reached its peak, she could no longer support herself to continue running. She could only slowly stop, gasping for breath, and slowly began to adjust her breathing to let her body rest for a moment.

Just when Gu Wenshuang was taking a short break, a noisy sound suddenly came from the distance.

She looked carefully and saw a group of ragged and haggard people walking towards her.

These people looked terrified and moved in a hurry, obviously they were also fleeing.

Gu Wenshuang had an idea and thought that maybe she could follow them, which would provide an extra layer of security.

So, she mustered up her last bit of strength, stood up, walked quickly towards the group of refugees, and successfully joined their team.

In this way, Gu Wenshuang followed this group of refugees on their difficult journey, sleeping in the open air.

After a long and arduous journey, they finally arrived at the border of Yu Kingdom.

At this moment, everyone's face revealed a hint of relief at having survived the disaster, but at the same time, there was also a deep worry, not knowing what the future would hold for them...
