Xia Zixuan was also afraid that she would be discovered after the carriage stopped. She felt that after the carriage slowed down, she dared not scatter too much wheat, just a few grains at a time.

Mu Chenyi immediately ordered: "Ayu, take your men to guard the back door, Yingyi, take your men to guard outside the courtyard wall, remember not to let anyone escape."

"Yes, master, Ayi, don't worry! We'll go first, you guys be careful too." After Su Baiyu said that, he took his men to the back door.

He sent two more men to Le Nan and said, "You two and Le Nan stay here to guard."

"Yes, Mr. Mu, don't worry, we will guard it well." Le Nan said.

Then he said in a deep voice: "Others, come in with me."

**

At this time, the human traffickers and Xia Zixuan in the yard didn't know that Mu Chenyi had already brought his men over and was about to come in.

Because this house has three entrances and it was almost time for dinner, the traffickers had lived here for a few days and had not spoken to other neighbors.

Others thought that this family was difficult to get along with and would not approach them, which is why the human traffickers did not need anyone to guard the door.

So they all gathered in the second courtyard, and at the same time they didn't hear any noise outside.

Xia Zixuan, who was locked in the room, could not stay any longer. Almost an hour had passed and no one came to rescue them. She looked at the sky outside and guessed that it should be almost the evening hour.

She stood up and looked around, and found that there was only a small ventilation window in the room. This room must have been a storage room before!

She walked to the door, reached out and pulled it gently. The door opened a little, but was locked from the outside.

Fortunately, there was a small gap. She waited for a while and made sure that no one was coming. She quietly took out a paper clip from the space and straightened it with her hands.

The girl who had helped her before came over and said, "Girl, what are you doing?"

Xia Zixuan held up the straightened paper clip and asked, "Don't you want to go out?"

"Of course I do! We don't know where they will take us here!"

"Then listen to me, let's escape together."

At this time, a girl sitting not far from them said, "I advise you to just stop worrying! There must be people guarding outside. Don't try to escape and get caught and beaten up instead."

Another girl echoed her, "That's right, you should just listen to Sister Lin! Sister Lin's father knows the county magistrate! Maybe when Sister Lin's father comes, he will take you out together."

When the girl surnamed Lin heard her words, she looked at Xia Zixuan proudly, her eyes clearly saying, "You still have to rely on me to get out."

Xia Zixuan stopped what she was doing when she heard that. "Oh? Then why hasn't anyone come yet?"

"Well, it must be that Sister Lin's father doesn't know that Sister Lin has been arrested. Just wait, someone will definitely come to rescue Sister Lin." The girl said righteously.

But what she said was indeed true. The Lin family still didn't know that someone had captured their daughter. Because Miss Lin was also captured today, no one has discovered her and rescued her until now.

Xia Zixuan glanced at her and said, "Then you guys just wait! I'll go by myself."

The girl next to her quickly pulled her back and said, "Hey, girl, take me with you! I promise I won't hold you back."

As soon as she finished speaking, another timid girl stood up and said, "Well, can you take me with you?"

Xia Zixuan nodded and said, "Okay, come over here!"

She said in a soft voice: "Okay, thank you young lady."

Xia Zixuan shook her head and turned around to fiddle with the door lock. Soon she opened it. The two girls beside her said happily, "Girl, you are so amazing. You can even open the lock."

The girl who spoke earlier said, "Humph, what's so amazing about this? We don't even know what her family does. Ah! She can open locks, so she can't be a thief at home..."

The bolder girl next to Xia Zixuan couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Hey, what are you talking about! Knowing how to open a lock doesn't mean anything. Do you know how to farm just because you eat every day?"

The girl said unwillingly: "I'm right. How can a girl from an ordinary family pick a lock? She must have learned it since she was a child."

The timid girl also whispered: "Don't talk nonsense, it will be bad for the reputation of this girl if it gets out."

"What's wrong with that? She did it herself, so why is she afraid that it will be spread? I think her family is just a mistress..."

"Pah!" Xia Zixuan slapped him in the face before he could finish his words. "What? You're getting more excited the more you talk, right?"

The girl pointed at Xia Zixuan and said angrily: "You, you dare to hit me."
