Bai Dazhu stared at Bai Zhi with hateful eyes: “You dead girl, you really know how to haunt people. You even chase after us in the capital, your courage is not small.”

Bai Zhi threw the medicine packages in her hand, stretched out her hand to get the silver needle bag in her sleeve, but it was empty. Then, she remembered that she had just changed clothes before she went out. The silver needle bag must still be in her previous clothes.

“You are wrong, I didn’t come after you. I also just learned that you are also here.”

Bai Dazhu waved his hand: “I don’t care about this. If you didn’t come to the capital, there will be nothing like this today. But since you are here, you can’t blame for being ruthless.”

Bai Dazhu winked at Bai Dabao behind Bai Zhi.

Bai Dabao held tightly the wooden stick on his hand and slammed it on the back of Bai Zhi’s head. Perhaps, because it was his first time to hit someone like this, he made it lighter.

Bai Zhi didn’t completely faint, but she felt dizzy and lost energy for a while.

However, she felt that she was squeezed into the carriage, and the carriage traveled to a bumping road. The bumps made her sober. Unfortunately, there was a cloth in her mouth, she couldn’t call for help. Her hands and feet were also tied, so she couldn’t jump out at all.

Remembering that she had watched a video on how to untie the rope on the internet. Bai Zhi tried it again and again. When the carriage stopped, she had already unlocked most of it. Once she uses some force, she can completely break free.

At this time, the curtain of the carriage was opened, she closed her eyes and pretended to be unconscious. Bai Dazhu grabbed her feet and dragged her out rudely.

Bai Dabao’s face was very pale, and his forehead was covered with sweat. Seeing his father dragging Bai Zhi out, he busily said: “Father, it’s illegal to kill people. If the officials caught us, we will be dead.”

Bai Dazhu looked around. The sky was already dark and the place was deserted. Once he threw this deal girl and died. Who would still know that they had killed her?

“Who said that we killed people? We have been in the capital all the time, we never come out. Do you understand?”

Bai Dabao nodded his head, but his teeth were trembling.

Bai Zhi secretly opened her eyes and saw a pond. The pond was surrounded by dry yellow grass and wild trees. Bai Zhi busily tried to break free from the rope.

Seeing that she was awake, Bai Dazhu immediately threw her into the pond without saying a word.

Bai Zhi sank in the pond. Her feet were still tied, and her hands were still not free. The cold water entered her eyes, ears, nose, mouth. The taste was really uncomfortable.

Fortunately, shortly after falling into the water, she broke free from the rope in her hand, and while still holding her breath, she quickly untied the rope that bound her feet.

She had never been so thankful that she can swim like this moment. If Lin Yang didn’t try his best to encourage her, she would never have thought of learning how to swim.

At this moment, Bai Dazhu and Bai Dabao must be still waiting on the shore. She still can’t show herself at this time.

Holding her last breath, she dived underwater, swam into a field of wild lotus, took a breath, and dived again.

Although Bai Dazhu and Bai Dabao heard a movement under the wild lotus, they didn’t see anyone coming up. They thought it was the movement of fish swimming in the water. They waited for a while more, but they still didn’t see anyone come up, nor see a splash of water, so they turned around and drove away.

Bai Zhi floated from the icy pond, looked at the carriage going away in the dark night, bit her trembling teeth, and said: “If I didn’t take revenge for this, then my last name is not Bai.”
