Shen Xiaoyan is imprisoned in the "cage", want to rely on their own efforts to escape, can be said to be more difficult than heaven. She hopes that Zhang Yunyan and other warriors will come to her rescue, which is the only hope.

However, they were long gone, and even if they were still in town, they did not know that she was suffering again. The benefactors were like clouds in the sky, unattainable, and she could only hope and dream.

The sun had just set and the room was even dimmer. The stagecoach house was quiet, the atmosphere cold and jittery.

The hot water was ready, and the maids urged Shen Xiaoyan to take a bath, so that she could also dress up earlier and wait for the arrival of the magistrate.

Shen Xiaoyan's heart was burning with anxiety, none of the saviors she had hoped for would come, and she had to rely on her own efforts for everything. If she did not have a way to save herself and get out, she would have to face horrible people and accept horrible things.

Reality is ruthless and cruel, not to mention the fact that Xiaoyan is fierce, even the governor's wife will not let her go, and will ultimately drive the poor young girl to extinction.

The sky is dark, the "cage" is closed, someone terrible is coming, something horrible is approaching.

Shen Xiaoyan was not willing to wait like this, before the arrival of the terrible person, to make a final struggle, must do everything possible to break free from the cage. She toured the room, still unable to think, both anxious and fearful.

It is difficult, how can a woman, who has neither strength nor ability, and is in a lonely and helpless situation, escape from a heavily guarded place. Facing the powerful big shots, the horror has been inevitable, she can not resist, will be at the mercy of the arbitrary bullying, after which it will leave the world and go ......

At this time, a maid took out a set of worn-out clothes from the cupboard and said while rummaging through them, "I don't know who discarded the worn-out clothes here, and no one came to clean them up, they are all too lazy." With that, she put the clothes back again.

Shen Xiaoyan saw the worn out clothes and drew attention to them. After thinking about it, she got up and came to the cupboard, seeing that it was a set of man's cloak and hat, which was very worn and full of stains, she frowned, looking at it while thinking about it.

After that, she looked under the bed and the table for anything usable, but found nothing.

"Miss, the things here are outdated, what's there to see. Wait until tomorrow, when you go to your new home, just take a good look around. Not only is there a large courtyard with flowers and grass, there's also brand new furniture there. Other than that, there are more than a dozen sets of prepared wear, so you can choose as you please."

Shen Xiaoyan didn't listen to a single word and was still thinking of ways to escape.

The maid was urging again, "Miss, take a bath quickly or the water will get cold. Besides, if His Excellency arrives and sees that Miss is not yet dressed up, he will scold us."

Xiao Yan sighed and said, "Alright, I'll go for a quick convenience and come back to wash it." As she spoke, she took advantage of the maid's inattention to sneak the set of men's clothes and hats into her skirt.

The two maids saw Shen Xiaoyan change her mind, very happy "Miss, this is right, life is not just a figure of enjoyment. If you follow the magistrate, no one will dare to mess with you, and you'll be carefree for the rest of your life. You are a lucky person, you should be satisfied."

Shen Xiaoyan sighed, "That's true, how is it possible to want to be perfect and have everything go your way, you can't be unsatisfied." She coped with it on her lips, but in her heart she was cursing, "If I can marry a beloved person, even if I eat chaff and swallow food, I won't follow that shameless dog official!"

Indeed, Shen Xiaoyan will not get well if she follows the magistrate, not to mention how the magistrate will treat her, or the unruly madam can't let go of the crossbow, sooner or later she will be killed.

The maid said, "Miss, please wait, I'll fetch the potty."

"No need, it's not like I'm taking a leak, how inconvenient and uncomfortable, besides it's not dark yet, it's better to go to the outhouse." Xiao Yan said and went out of the house.

When the maids saw that she was no longer grieving, they put their hearts at ease, and one accompanied them, ready to serve at their command. She also watched over the nobleman, fearing something unexpected might happen.

Shen Xiaoyan put the set of man s clothes outside in the outhouse, and put on the hat and pressed it down to cover half of his face.

She packed up, quietly peeked her head to see the maid was teasing a flower cat, no idea this way, and hurriedly left at a quick pace.

Xiao Yan ran towards the gate while dodging, and seeing a carriage with a canopy parked in front of it, she immediately stopped and thought about how to escape by dodging the magistrates at the gate.

Just then, someone asked, "Brother Gao, it's about to get dark, why are you still going out, where are you going again?"

"Go get them."

"How inconvenient to go out at night and drive a carriage."

The driver sighed "Alas, the county court came to order, how dare I delay, even if it is dark, we must go ah."

Shen Xiaoyan was worrying about not being able to avoid the government officials at the courtyard gate, when she heard this, her heart was moved, so it was just the right time to take this opportunity to escape. The opportunity was rare, she took advantage of the driver was busy with other things, hurriedly climbed on the car, hidden in the car canopy, even dare not out of the atmosphere.

The carriage made it out of the gate and out of the post house without incident, and Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief with it. Still nervous, she wiped the sweat from her head and listened to the commotion outside, praying for a quick departure from the place of terror.

Just then there was a shout from the stagecoach, sounding urgent, and a cacophony of voices ensued.

Shen Xiaoyan was shocked in her heart, knowing that the maid had already realized that she had disappeared and was searching in a panic. She was even more terrified, and her heart, which had just been stabilized, hung up again, fearing that the magistrates would notice something and chase her out, and take her back again.

Fortunately, the driver was in a hurry, not caring about things that did not concern him, waving his hand and raising the whip to drive the carriage to run, and soon went away.

Night had fallen and the stars were blinking. There was a chorus of insects in the empty fields, squeezing into the shadowy silence.

As he was running, the carriage stopped and the driver went to the roadside to take a leak.

Shen Xiaoyan was afraid of being discovered and didn't dare to hitch a ride anymore, taking the opportunity to climb down. She hid behind a large tree on the side of the road and waited for the carriage to leave before getting up.

She finally escaped from the impermeable "cage", free from the bullying of the dog officials, very happy, and feel more grateful.

After the excitement, Xiao Yan took a look at the ghostly night, the winking stars, the buggy wilderness, and the vague woods ...... Fear immediately came to his heart.

Shen Xiaoyan was nervous and fearful, cruising around, her fragile heart thumping like a rabbit, afraid of encountering fierce beasts and villains, and even more afraid of encountering demons and ghosts.

She feared that the magistrates would come after her, and if so, she would be plunged into another disaster from which she would never be able to extricate herself.

In the world of bandits and demons, in the wild beast-infested wilderness, a young woman walking alone at night, the fear of the situation, the danger of the matter, can be imagined.

However, Xiao Yan has no power to change the terrible reality and has no choice but to struggle through the fearful and menacing night in order to escape, praying to be safe.

Shen Xiaoyan kept running around despite her fatigue, as if she were a lamb that had escaped from the wolf's den and was caught up in endless fear again.

She didn't know how far she had traveled or where she had arrived, and was thankful that she hadn't encountered any fierce beasts or villains, nor had she seen any demons or ghosts, nor had she seen any pursuing magistrates, and her frightened heart was finally a little more at ease.

She looked at the darkness of the night, the wilderness without the sound of insects, no longer so terrified, for the escape from the strict "cage", to escape from the terrible people and horrible things, very happy, fragile heart with a sense of relief.

Shen Xiaoyan was lucky to see a nunnery on the way and stayed there for the night.

The next day, Xiao Yan wanted to leave, but fell ill. Over the past few days, she was mentally shocked, physically and mentally tortured, weak and cold, and could not fall ill.

Xiao Yan was unfortunate and fortunate that she fell ill in a nunnery and was treated and conditioned for a long time before she recovered under the care of the nuns.

After Xiao Yan recovered, she was very grateful to the nuns who were like family.

These days, she had feelings for the nuns, and also had some understanding of the affairs of the Buddhist sect, so she moved her heart. She was alone, no relatives, back to her hometown there is nowhere to join, or can not stabilize her life, in that case, why not settle here, and there is no more so much sorrow and attachment.

The head of the nunnery is an old nun, she sympathized with Shen Xiaoyan, promised to take in, but for the time being can not shave her, depending on the circumstances.

She stayed here for some days, helping the nuns with some of the things they did, as well as learning the daily Buddhist rules and things to follow.

After a period of observation, the old nun's mind was shaken and she did not want Xiao Yan to convert to Buddhism.

Originally, the old nun saw Shen Xiaoyan leisure time, or sullen into deep thought, or sad tears sad, know that she is heavy hearted, can not get rid of the earthly entanglements.

She sympathized with Xiaoyan's encounter, and it was difficult to get away from the world at such a young age, unable to meditate, and it was somewhat inappropriate to convert to Buddhism at this time. She advised Xiaoyan to give up this idea and talk about it later.

Shen Xiaoyan bitterly begged also can not be as desired, had to give up, and live in the nunnery for a period of time, before reluctantly resigned and left.

Xiao Yan does not know how far away from the hometown, can only distinguish a general direction, so all the way running, like a lonely lamb, struggling for survival.

On this day, Shen Xiaoyan was walking along the road when she suddenly heard someone shouting, the voice was shrill like a woman's and sounded urgent.

Ahead the road turned a corner, and there grew trees of all sizes, and patches of barren grass. Here, apart from the shouts, it was silent, no birds could be seen flying, no insects could be heard, and everything was shrouded in terror.

Xiao Yan looked around, there is no one else but himself. She knew that something had happened, scared to death, neither dare to escape, but also dare not go forward, immediately hide behind the roadside boulders.

The cries were constant and alarming. Xiao Yan cringed and was anxious for the woman, wishing someone would go over and help the poor woman. She cruised around and still no one was there, anxious and lamenting in silence.

Shen Xiaoyan is in danger, alone, see the villain is murder, the beautiful eyebrow wrinkled, body and mind tightened, very fearful, what to do ah?
